Chapter 4 Ruthlessness is the heart of the emperor the most
Wang Duobao insisted on not letting go of this girl.
For Wei Bang, the worst result is nothing more than receiving some punishment, but for Wang Duobao, once this kind of thing is exposed, the matter of Qingzhou's disaster relief funds being greatly embezzled will also be exposed, and the two things will definitely make Wei Qi suspect himself.
These two things, if they are separated, he is sure that he can explain them clearly, but if they are put together, no matter how he explains them, they will arouse suspicion, even if he can't be directly convicted, the result is similar, and this identity is invalid.
He didn't want to go to the familiar execution ground so soon to meet the executioner with affection in his eyes.
Wei Bang had no choice, so he had to watch Wang Duobao take the girl out of the cave with a unbearable face, and the guards of more than 100 people outside had been assembled.
"You guys, go to the cave and take out those ancestral tablets. Go and search the mountains, and bring all the people who are on the mountains here. ”
Wang Duobao pointed twice and commanded the guards to split into two groups.
The girl also sensed that the atmosphere was wrong, and hid behind Wang Duobao in fear.
In a short time, the ancestral hall in the cave had been dismantled into a pile and thrown outside, and the guards of the mountain had returned, with a middle-aged man who was a little bookish and a woman who was sick.
"Your Highness, there are only these two people in this mountain!"
When the little girl saw that her parents were pushed and brought over roughly, the atmosphere became more solemn, and a feeling of fear appeared in her heart, and she actually cried.
"Wan'er!"
The woman cried, and the girl ran out from behind Wang Duobao crying and threw herself into her mother's arms.
"Mother~"
"Wan'er, what's going on, what's going on?"
The woman also felt that a great disaster was coming, and asked as she sobbed and touched the girl's head.
The girl stammered and pointed to Wang Duobao and Wei Bang and said:
"When I worshiped my ancestors again just now, I ...... Just come out with a big brother, and then ...... Another big brother came out, and then ...... And then I don't know what's going on......"
The girl cried and couldn't say clearly, but the girl's father knew everything, and when he saw Wang Duobao, his face was bitter, and he knew that he would definitely die this time, so he bowed down to Wang Duobao.
"Villain Li Jing, see the two royal highnesses."
Wei Bang was shocked when he heard this, pointed to himself and asked:
"You little country man, how do you know us?"
The man bowed his head respectfully and replied:
"The villain once served as an official in the court, and the official went to the Liupin Hanlin Academy to speak, and later because the court was unwilling, he resigned and returned to his hometown to be a woodcutter in the mountains to live a leisurely life in the countryside."
"The villain has seen Prince Jue from afar, although the other villain has not seen it, but he can see that his clothes and conversation are the same as that of Prince Jue, and his age is similar, so the villain guesses that it is the eighteenth prince of David, Wei Bang."
Wang Duobao couldn't help but nod his head in praise after hearing this.
"He's a smart guy with good eyesight."
Only to hear the man speak again, pleading:
"The villain knows that it is impossible to escape the crime of committing a heavy punishment, but I also implore the two princes to read it for the sake of the little girl's young age and ignorance, please ask the two princes to send grace and forgive the little girl a way to live!"
When the woman heard this, she prostrated her head and prayed.
"Please let the little girl go!"
When the two mentioned this, Wei Bang was moved with compassion, and he turned back to Wang Duobao with a hesitant and inquiring look, and even pleaded.
Wang Duobao glanced at Wei Bang, but just asked lightly.
"Do you dare to be in such a crowd's eyes?"
Wei Bang lowered his head, his face bitter.
The answer is obvious, he didn't dare.
As Wang Duobao said, when he pulled the arrow, there was no room for recovery.
But did he pull the wrong arrow again?
The little girl lying on top of her mother cried and gently pulled the corner of her father's clothes.
"Dad~ Didn't you say that the ancestor was a very powerful character, didn't you say that the ancestor was very spiritual, let's ask the ancestor and let the ancestor bless us!"
The man looked at his daughter, his face was unbearable, he knew that there was no such thing in the world as a dead man appearing and blessed, and the so-called miracle of the ancestors was just an excuse for their descendants to fight for psychological comfort. But he couldn't bear to tell his daughter the truth at this time.
When the woman on the side heard this, she rushed to the hospital in a hurry, folded her hands and prayed repeatedly:
"Ask the ancestors to bless you, bless the little girl to escape this catastrophe, the ancestors bless!"
On the side, their true ancestor Wang Duobao silently closed his eyes when he listened, comforted himself in his heart and said silently:
"My filial sons and grandsons, it's not that the ancestors don't save you, but that the ancestors themselves can't protect themselves. Presumably, you feel very honored to die for your ancestors, and you won't blame your ancestors for me when you get to Jiuquan, right? ”
After comforting himself for a while, Wang Duobao turned around, turned over his horse and walked down the mountain, leaving a word without looking back.
"Burn them along with those ancestral tablets."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The commander of the guard shouted his fists and gave orders, pushing the family of three to the pile of tablets and ancestral hall wooden shelves that had been dismantled and thrown out on the table, and some of the other guards took out the fire oil they carried with them and poured them on the three members of the family.
"Wait a minute!"
At this time, Wei Bang shouted, and the cries and pleading voices of the three people were unbearable in his heart, and he walked two quick steps to chase Wang Duobao, grabbed his reins, and asked urgently:
"Why are you so sloppy? Shouldn't they have been sent to the nearest city to be interrogated and sentenced? Anyway, it made that girl ...... more."
Before he finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Wang Duobao.
"So that the girl can live a few more days?"
Wei Bang was stunned and nodded silently, while Wang Duobao shook his head helplessly and said:
"That's the rule of the city, in order to find out those who are in the city, or in the court, or big businessmen, they collude with each other behind their backs, and they are interrogated."
"And in such a poor and remote countryside, if you find such a thing, don't you immediately destroy the ancestral hall and execute it on the spot?"
"You make this special case for them, and spread it to the ears of the father, what does the father think? What do those DPRK and Chinese officials think? ”
This series of rhetorical questions, Wei Bang, who asked, was speechless, so he had to weakly let go of Wang Duobao's reins, turned over his horse, and went down the mountain with his head down.
Behind the two of them, the flames soared into the sky, and the terrible wails made people feel like falling into the mythical hell.
For the whole day, Wei Bang's mood was wilting, and he was not in the mood to take out the beast ears he hunted and cut off with Wang Duobao afterwards.
In the evening, after the two of them had dinner in the city, Wang Duobao looked up at the sky and admired the moon in the courtyard, Wei Bang came to his side, also looked up, and said lightly:
"Little Nineteen, I finally know why my father always said that you have the heart of an emperor, why you always said that you can take over his heavy responsibilities in the future, and let him live a leisurely life."
Ruthlessness is the most imperial heart!
Wang Duobao nodded silently, he also felt that he was capable of being a qualified emperor, but his purpose was not to take over the world of the Wei Period, but to take over the world of the Wei Period, and at the same time to take over the half of the immortal Dao Fruit that belonged to him.
In the same way, he didn't want Wei Qi to live a leisurely life, he wanted Wei Qi to die with his David Dynasty without a place to be buried!
