"Dad, where are we going? Also, why did you just give the order to kill the concierge? If uncle knew, how could he spare us~?"
In the dark night, a team of more than forty people, led by three men on horseback, was running rapidly toward the southwest of Taiyuan City. In order to stay hidden, only a few people at the front of the team were holding torches, and those at the back were He was following the footsteps of the people in front of him. At this time, the middle-aged man on horseback in front of the team turned to the old man beside him and asked.
"If we don't kill the concierge, how can we escape? Now we can only have a chance to survive by escaping from the Wang family!"
The old man replied angrily.
The old man was Wang Kui, who had previously killed the concierge and escaped from the Wang family's ancestral home. The two people beside him were Wang Hong and Wang Xinyuan. It’s just that I don’t know where they got the three horses. Otherwise, with Wang Kui’s old body, he might not be able to run for his life!
When he escaped from the Wang family before, he escaped too quickly, and Wang Kui never explained anything to Wang Hong. So until now, Wang Hong is in a state of confusion. He doesn't even know why his father took him with him. escape
However, the moment Wang Kui ordered the killing of the guards at the back door of Wang's house, Wang Hong had already realized that they had gotten into trouble. They were afraid that it would be difficult for them to return to Wang's house in the future!
"Escape? Dad, we didn't do anything wrong, why are we running for our lives?"
After listening to Wang Kui's words, Wang Hong said in confusion.
Wang Kui was slightly startled, and then he said with deep emotion: "Yes! We did nothing wrong! I just want to control the power of the Wang family and restore the glory of the millennium clan to the Wang family!"
Wang Hong felt that the first half of this sentence was quite normal, but the second half... When Wang Hong heard this, he was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse. He exclaimed:
"What? Dad, you want the second brother to take over the power in the family? Are you trying to rebel against the uncle and eldest brother? We, the second brother, have had nothing to worry about in terms of food and drink these years. We have lived a good life. Why do you want to be in power? ?”
Wang Hong is a standard son of an aristocratic family. He just wants to live a comfortable life relying on the Wang family. With the Wang family as his backer, he not only has nothing to worry about eating, drinking and having fun, but he can basically walk around Taiyuan City. As for the head of the family, position and power in the clan, this kind of thing is doing something stupid? He never cared!
Of course, as the saying goes, no one knows more about his son than his father. It is precisely because Wang Kui knew that his son "had no ambitions", so Wang Kui did not let Wang Hong participate in matters such as "taking refuge with the Turks, kidnapping Li Tai" and so on, and never let Wang Hong participate. Mentioned it in front of Wang Hong.
So, no wonder Wang Hong is so confused now!
"Fart! Not only are you uneducated, but you also have no ambition at all! Our second wife has been suppressed by the big brother these years. Wang Yu and Wang Renbiao relied on their family's resources to become governors of a state and hold high positions. , are you willing to be inferior to others all your life?"
Hearing Wang Hong's bastard words, Wang Kui cursed angrily with some hatred.
Perhaps because he was used to being scolded by his father, Wang Hong subconsciously shrank his neck and was a little afraid, but he still couldn't help but whispered in a low voice: "Being inferior to others? I live a good life in the clan, and I don't feel inferior. Are you going to leave?"
Wang Kui is old and his hearing is naturally not as sharp as that of young people. He did not hear Wang Hong's whispered words.
Everyone moved forward for a while, and then Wang Hong spoke again: "Dad, in order to control the power of the clan, what kind of treason and evil have you done recently? Oh, no, what kind of things have you done? If we go back now, we will be wrong. Can uncle and eldest brother forgive us?"
Even though the man in front of him was his biological son, Wang Kui had the urge to beat him to death at this moment. He glared at Wang Hong angrily and said bitterly: "You are a loser, I shouldn't have taken you with me. Let’s run away together!”
Wang Hong followed Wang Kui's words and continued: "... Dad, it would be better if you didn't take me to escape. I have never participated in the things you did. Uncle can't blame me if you want to blame me! Oh, you just left In such a hurry, I forgot to take away several of my concubines together. Dad, you are also serious. If you want to escape, you should have told me earlier. Even if I can't take away all those concubines, I can just take one Ping'er with me. ah… "
(This Ping'er, formerly known as Gao Ping, is Wang Hong's favorite concubine)
But as Wang Hong was talking, he suddenly noticed that Wang Kui's face next to him was very ugly, and he quickly stopped talking.
Even so, Wang Kui was also very angry at Wang Hong. If it weren't for the wrong situation, he really wanted to grab a stick and beat this evil obstacle to death!
"Father, my grandfather is not in good health, so don't be angry with him anymore! We will be able to get to the manor near Longshan soon. After we meet up with the people there, we will be almost safe!"
Wang Xinyuan, who was on Wang Kui's left hand side, couldn't help but persuade him.
Hearing this, Wang Hong couldn't help but wonder: "Manor~? Dad, you still have a manor in Longshan~? Why have I never heard you say that~? Uh... That's all, I won't ask, I won't ask anything. , Wherever you go, your child will follow you! You would never harm your own son, would you?"
Only then did Wang Kui swallow the curse words that had reached his lips.
This small episode did not affect the speed of the team. About a quarter of an hour after Wang Kui and others escaped from Wang's house, Wang Yu's people discovered that the time difference between before and after was enough for Wang Kui and others to escape from Wang's house. At this time, the guards of the Wang family had just been sent out not long ago, and they didn't know which direction Wang Kui escaped. Taiyuan City was not big, but it was not small. They searched aimlessly. In a short time I'm afraid it will be difficult to catch up with Wang Kui and the others!
The ancestral residence of the Wang family, main hall.
All the core figures of the Wang family were called over. Wang Binggao sat at the head of the table. The third, fourth, and fifth elders of the Wang family, as well as Wang Yu and Princess Tong'an lined up on the left and right. At this time, after Wang Yu's narration, everyone had learned that Wang Kui colluded with Turkic spies and fled in advance in fear of crime when the evidence was solid. The atmosphere in the hall became extremely serious.
Wang Bing spoke at this time and said: "You all know the matter now. The second brother actually colluded with Turkic spies for his own selfish interests and brought injustice to our entire Wang family. If the Holy Spirit pursues this matter, not only the second brother will be severely punished, but also the rest of the Wang family." Everyone, including me, is to blame! Now, our only chance to make amends is to find the second son before the imperial troops, and escort him to the governor's office, to make amends and show his loyalty! Third, the fourth and fifth children, you are usually close to the second child, now think about it carefully, what kind of property does the second child have in the city? Where is the most likely place for him to go after he escapes from the family~? "
