Chapter 35: After the Affair
Yan Rong saw Wang Zhen breaking into the meeting hall alone, and knew that the big thing was not good, so he hurriedly ran away. How could Wang Zhen let him escape, a few big strides followed, and Yan Rong was killed with one sword.
Wang Zhen hid Yan Rong's body and searched out the key to the silver vault, returned to his room and brought a sack of cotton and a jar of soybean oil prepared in advance to the vicinity of the silver vault and put it away.
Because Sun En was going to do something big tonight, and the ghost pawns were generally new to the sect and were not trusted, Sun En temporarily transferred most of the ghost pawns guarding the manor.
At this time, there were only four ghost guards guarding the treasury. Wang Zhen walked up to them with the token of the protector, and the four ghost pawns were also defenseless, and the two of them were instantly eliminated by Wang Zhen, and the remaining two were also killed after resisting a few times.
Wang Zhen used the key to open the door of the silver vault, dragged the bodies of the four people into the silver vault, and then took cotton, wicks, soybean oil and other items into the silver vault, and closed the door.
Wang Zhen looked at the inside of the silver vault and sighed with emotion, and in front of him was the legendary gold and silver mountain! The king chose a suitably sized chest, poured out all the silver inside, and replaced it with silver tickets and gold. In the mountains of gold and silver, the only thing to do is to restrain your desires. Wang Zhen filled the box and stuffed two gold ingots into his arms, and the others that he really couldn't take away, Wang Zhen didn't linger, and burned the silver vault with the fire-burning items he brought. Exiting the treasury, Wang Zhen did not forget to lock the door of the treasury.
Wang Zhen slightly identified the direction, took the box to the wall, and climbed over the wall.
At this time, it was the fourth watch, and by the time someone in the manor found out that there was a fire, it was too late, and the fire burned all over the sky. Due to the lack of manpower in the manor, the silver vault where the fire broke out was too far away from the water source, and there were combustibles such as cotton and soybean oil, the more the fire was saved, the more it burned.
Under the night breeze, the houses connected to the silver treasury also caught fire one after another, and it didn't take long for the entire Wudou Mijiao Manor to be like a sea of fire. Fortunately, the Wudou Mijiao Manor was huge, surrounded by roads, and was not connected to the houses, so the fire did not endanger ordinary people.
When the people nearby saw the fire in the Wudou Mijiao Manor, they all rang the gong and rushed to help put out the fire. Although the people fought all night, the fire still burned the manor of the Five Doumi Sect to the ground.
The next day, the officers and soldiers came to surround the manor, announcing that Sun En and the Wudou Mi Sect had rebelled against the Wuwei camp and killed the commander Wang Ning, and the people in the vicinity were shocked.
Wang Zhen returned to his rented house that night, and the matter came to an end, and Wang Zhen's heart was relaxed. Although the sound of gongs outside was shaking the sky and the voices of people were boiling, it did not affect Wang Zhen's sleep. Wang Zhen slept until the afternoon before getting up.
Wang Zhen wanted to dispose of the corpse of the reverse scale, but he didn't know what to do with it in broad daylight, and he was afraid of stepping on the iron nail he buried, so he had to give up and let it go.
Wang Zhen rented a house in the name of Ma Guorong, a northerner at that time, dressed as a northerner, wearing a headscarf, and ashes on his face, the owner may not be able to recognize himself, but it will be difficult to rent out this house in the future! Wang Zhen smiled helplessly, it can be regarded as additional damage, Wang Zhen put down two taels of silver on the table, closed the door and the courtyard door, carried the seven-star sword on his back, carried a bow and arrow, held a box, and went to the old woman's house to pick up the horse. The old woman greeted Wang Zhi warmly.
The old woman asked, "Official, how is the girl?" ”
Wang Zhen smiled: "Old woman, I settled down last time, and I haven't seen her yet!" ”
The old woman said emotionally: "Official, that girl is a young lady from a big family at first glance." People are willing to give up everything and elope with you, you have to treat others well, don't let them down! ”
Wang Zhen smiled: "Don't worry, old woman! I'm going to be nice to her! She is more important than my life! ”
The old woman smiled and said, "Alas! That's right! ”
Wang Zhen took out two taels of silver and handed them to the old woman, and said, "Old woman, I'm leaving." Take care! ”
The old woman hurriedly said: "Official, I have fed the horses for a few days, and this silver is too much." ”
Wang Zhen turned over and got on the horse, smiled and waved to the old woman and left.
Wang Zhen was in a relaxed mood, and he came to Sun's mansion with the reins.
Wang Zhen knocked on the door of Sun's Mansion and asked, "Old man, has the girl from two days ago been sent back to the Xie family?" ”
The old servant said, "Yes, the old man sent the old maidservant back the next day." Wang Zhen thanked him and left the Sun Mansion.
Wang Zhen drove his horse to inquire near the Wuwei camp and learned that although Wang Ningzhi was dead, Sun En had fled. Wang Zhen was a little worried, Sun En must be a scourge in the future. Wang Zhen thought about it again: Let's make plans for the future! It may take a little time for Wang Xie's two families to dissolve the marriage contract, so it is advisable to wait first, and then find the owner to choose an auspicious day to propose marriage. So Wang Zhen drove the horse back to the Happy Square and fostered the horse in a nearby inn.
On the second day, the courtiers in the palace listened to the report of the commander of the backbone battalion and the deputy commander of the Wuwei battalion, and they were all panicked. Xie Daoyun's uncle, Xie An, was not very shocked by Sun En's attack on the Wuwei camp and the murder of Wang Ning, because he had told Emperor Sima Pi a few days earlier that his niece had been forcibly taken away at home by the Wudou Mi Sect and almost died. Sima Pi was a firm believer in the Wudou Rice Dao and was too tolerant of the Wudou Rice Sect, which also believed in the Five Dou Rice Dao, to approve the action.
Regarding the incident of Wang Ningzhi, the senior officials of the Wang family in the court, such as Wang Xianzhi, Wang Biaozhi, Wang Tanzhi, etc., were indignant and made a generous statement, demanding that Sun En and his accomplices be arrested, severely punished, and the Wudou Mijiao banned. Sima Pi saw that Sun En of the Wudou Mi Sect was so bold as to attack the Wuwei camp and kill the commander of the battalion, knowing that the Suwei army was the only force to defend the emperor in Jiankang City, Sima Pi was deeply worried about his own safety, and was determined not to condone the Wudou Mi Sect anymore, and granted the request of the minister surnamed Wang, and ordered the distribution of sea fishing documents to be posted at the gates of all counties and counties, and the arrest of Sun En and his accomplices nationwide. At the same time, the Wudou Mi Sect was designated as an illegal organization and banned, and those who claimed to be the Wudou Mi Sect were arrested.
After retiring from the court, Xie An immediately prepared a generous gift to visit the Wang family to express condolences and discuss the marriage contract of his niece. Xie An returned home, ordered someone to summon Xie Daoyun to the hall, and briefly told Xie Daoyun about Sun En's murder of Wang Ning. Xie Daoyun was secretly happy in his heart, thinking: He really did it!
Xie An observed that there was no sadness on his niece's face, so he said to Xie Daoyun: "Since Wang Ningzhi is dead, the marriage contract between you and him will naturally be null and void. Wang Xizhi's sons are all talented, how about I help you pick another one? What do you think of Wang Huizhi? I've heard that he's informal, and he's quite a celebrity. ”
Xie Daoyun hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Uncle, this time, that time." At the beginning, my niece didn't have a favorite person in her heart, so she asked her uncle to make the decision for me and marry Wang Ningzhi. Now that the marriage contract has been cancelled, the niece has the courage to ask her uncle to leave her niece's marriage to her niece. The niece loves the Xie family, but the niece doesn't want to be a tool to connect other families and protect the interests of the Xie family. The niece wants to pursue her own happiness. I hope my uncle will allow it! ”
Xie An said unhappily: "I know that you are a woman with a true temperament, you can say what you want, and you never twist and behave." But have you ever thought that as the daughter of the Xie family, if I give you this head, what a bad example you will set for your sister and cousin? ”
