Chapter 397 How can we help each other when we get on the boat?
Since the "stumbling" on the square stage killed Yu Hansan, Wang Yutang's whole person seemed to have no soul, and he was like a wooden man wherever he went, stunned and immovable, which made everyone feel distressed.
However, less than a day later, something happened that made them even more nervous - the second master of the Wang family, Wang Restart, was escorted to the capital by the Shenshao camp.
Send under escort......
When Wang Chongming heard the second brother's steward report about the incident, he was so shocked that he could hardly believe it.
The garrison general is a three-rank military position, the head of the military attache of a county, and commands tens of thousands of troops in the garrison barracks!
"How come......? How could the Sentinel Battalion suddenly come to fetch him......? Why hadn't you heard the wind before?" Wang Chongming muttered to himself.
The Wang family is second only to the Xu family among many families in Xiahe County, because of two major dependences: first, the second eldest of the Wang family, Wang Restart, is the resident general of Ruozhou City, ruling the military generals of a county;
Now, Wang Restart has been arrested and taken to the capital, which is undoubtedly a great blow to the Wang family. The relationship between the two families of King Xu is a bitter relationship, and it is also extremely unfavorable news that Wang Restart is in trouble for the Xu family.
When Wang Chongming and Wang Yutang arrived at Xu's house, the three Xu brothers were already waiting in the hall.
"Three Brother Xu, do you know about restarting the matter of being taken away by the Divine Sentinel Camp?" As soon as he sat down, Wang Chongyang hurriedly asked.
The steward had already said when he reported that the government had sent someone to Xu's house to report the news at the same time, so he naturally knew that they knew about it.
Xu Xiaoyu nodded, took a deep breath, and comforted: "Knowing is knowing, it's just that this matter is very difficult to do!"
Seeing that Wang Chongming's forehead frowned deeper, he said again: "As soon as I received this news, I asked Xu Jiu and them to bring hundreds of people to chase after the northbound Shen Sentinel Camp, but there were too many people sent by the capital, and they didn't find a chance to start." ”
His meaning is very clear, the Xu family is so enthusiastic and mobilized everyone to save the king and restart, of course, he thinks that the court has murderous intentions against him. But he didn't say it, and the other thing he said to Xu Jiu was "If you can't save Wang Restart, you will take advantage of the chaos to kill him."
The two have been friends for many years, and of course he doesn't want Wang to restart anything. But if something really happened to him, Xu Xiaoyu didn't want him to be involved in the Xu family.
The best way not to involve the Xu family is to make Wang Restart unable to open his mouth.
Wang Chongming trembled, and asked hoarsely: "Brother Xu, do you think the imperial court ......?"
He said one
I didn't say anything more, but several people understood the meaning.
Seeing that his brother lowered his head and drank tea silently, Xu Xiaoyi took over the words and replied softly: "Chongming, the Shenshao Camp is the emperor's own army, and he will never leave the capital if he has nothing important." This time they attacked with thunder, without revealing the slightest wind in advance, and changed the city defenses of Ruozhou and Hanzhou overnight, if it wasn't a big deal, why wouldn't it be like this?"
Big deal...... The military generals committed crimes, and the biggest one was rebellion.
Wang Chongming swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said hurriedly: "How could it be? I still know about restarting, and I believe that he did something wrong and dereliction of duty." But if there is anything great he has done, he ...... How dare he? He won't. ”
Seeing that he was anxious, the three Xu brothers stopped talking for a while, and Wang Yutang hurriedly brought him a cup of tea.
After his face eased a little, Xu Xiaoyi said: "The imperial court will never come to arrest him for no reason, let alone easily dispatch the Shenshao camp out of the capital." ”
Although he said so, he naturally understood in his heart that most of the court's actions were aimed at the Xu family. With such a close relationship with the Duanmu clan, he believed that the imperial court must have noticed it.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, and there is no paper that can hold the fire.
After Xu Jiu came back, Xu Xiaoyu found his two younger brothers to discuss countermeasures.
"In terms of emotion, reason, and potential, the Xu family should be twisted into a rope with the Wang family. Two generations of the Wang family have been resident generals, and their influence in the Ruozhou military camp is unmatched. Although Nintendo suppressed the lieutenant and Chifu below for a while, if he died...... Hmph, Ruozhou military camp is still surnamed Wang, of course, it can also be surnamed Xu. ”
Regarding the eldest brother's words, Xu Xiaoshi and Xu Xiaoyi have no objection. Before Wang Chongming came to the door, the three of them had expected him to come, and their speeches were already ready.
Wang Chongming's face was gloomy, and there was deep fear in his eyes. What he is most worried about now is not the life and death of Wang Zheng, but the survival of the entire Wang family.
Rebellion is a capital crime for Zhulian! As for the Zhulian clan, it is impossible to say. The two were born of the same mother, and if the king's rebellion against the king was confirmed, their family would not be able to escape the disaster, and most of them would also be convicted together.
What should I do? There are nearly 1,000 people in the Wang family, and there are 100 people in his own lineage, so it is extremely difficult to escape. If you don't escape, wait for the court to find out the culpability of Wang Restart and arrest him?
The more I thought about it, the more shocked I became, and after a while, a faint trace of sweat appeared on the collar.
After thinking for a long time, Wang Chongming raised his head and said in a deep voice
Xu Xiaoyu said: "The matter of restarting cannot harm the Wang family. Chongming's strength is weak, and he has to rely on the help of the three Xu brothers in this matter. ”
The Wang family is in the two veins of him and his younger brother, and it is Wang Restart who sits on the resident general instead of him, naturally because Mrs. Wang feels that the second child is more suitable for that position than the eldest one. Wang Chongming is kind and generous by nature, and in terms of strategy and courage, he is indeed quite inferior to Wang Restart. Yes, he has given good things to his younger brother since he was a child. It is precisely because Wang Chongming is willing to give up whatever is good, that Wang Restart has always respected this brother, and the two can be said to be brothers, friends and brothers.
In his heart, Wang Chongming is unwilling to give up his younger brother. But he also knew that there were Shen Sentinel Battalion generals escorting him all the way to the north, and even the Xu family couldn't save Wang Restart, and the Wang family couldn't do it.
Since you can't save it, you should break your arm to survive.
Seeing that he was relieved, Xu Xiaoyu said: "Chongming, you should understand that since the reboot was taken away, it has been doomed to have no way to live." He is a military general who leads tens of thousands of troops, which is different from the civil officials such as the ten members of the Wailang and the three divisions in the capital. The court suddenly took him, and it was only possible for the great crime of 'rebellion'. ”
Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and said meaningfully: "'Rebellion' has always been the crime of Zhulian! Chongming, what you should think about at this moment is not to save Restart, but how to save your Wang family!"
Just as these words were said in Wang Chongming's heart, he immediately gritted his teeth and sighed: "Brother Xu, Chongming is reckless, please give a few points." ”
"Chongming is polite. Xu Xiaoyu replied, "The third sister is also a member of the Wang family, the imperial court is connected, can the Xu family escape? The Wang and Xu families have long been one, and if something happens, no one can escape." ”
Hearing him say this, Wang Chongming and Wang Yutang felt a lot more at ease. Indeed, if Wang Restart has an accident, the Xu family will also be affected, at least Xu Xiaoyi's line will never be able to get rid of it.
Looking at it this way, the Xu family really has no reason to sit idly by.
"No wonder the Xu family will dispatch hundreds of people after the restart is taken away, it turns out that they are also afraid of being connected. Wang Chongming secretly said, "Looking at it this way, the positions of the Xu family and the Wang family are no different. ”
After thinking about this section, his heart instantly relaxed a lot. After all, he knew more about the Xu family than ordinary people, and naturally knew that its strength was far stronger than it seemed on the surface, and it was much more reassuring to ride a boat with them than to cross the river alone with the Wang family.
"Brother Xu, since the two families of King Xu are in the same boat, naturally you are the one at the helm. Wang Chongyang got up from his seat and said solemnly, "Then what should I do, the Wang family will listen to you!"
