"Wow,,, it's on fire, it's on fire," "Help," "Run, run," "Fuck, don't block the way," "Fight the fire,"
All kinds of noises rang out from Wanfu. Immediately afterwards, countless people were seen running out of the gate of Wanfu. In a blink of an eye, they saw the military ranks of the guards brought by Li Jing and the military ranks of the guards of Prince Qi's Mansion. The Wan family was the richest man in Luoyang, and there were four to five hundred servants and maids in the family. With this swarm of swarms rushing out, the guards did not get instructions and did not dare to kill people indiscriminately. They could only watch their own queue. They were scattered by these servants and maids.
Although Old Man Liao was shocked by this sudden situation at first, he soon realized what he was doing. He immediately guessed the other party's intention. He wanted to set fire to Wanjia and burn all the evidence. After understanding this, Old Man Liao couldn't help but admire the other party's decisiveness. Although he had seen through the other party's response strategy, he had no way to solve the current situation. From this point alone, he fell behind the other party. , Seeing the fire getting bigger and bigger, swallowing up the entire Wanfu in the blink of an eye, Old Man Liao couldn't help but smile bitterly. Just looking at the intensity of the fire, he knew that no matter how secretive the account books were, they would still be destroyed. After being burned to the ground, this plan was considered a complete failure. Old Man Liao shook his head helplessly and left quietly with the guards of Prince Qi's Mansion.
At the gate of Wanfu, after Wan He mentioned something before, Li Jing's attention has been focused on Old Man Liao. When he saw Old Man Liao leaving, Li Jing also raised his eyebrows and showed a smile at the corner of his mouth. He turned around and was about to tell Wan He received this good news, but when he saw Wan He's weird look on his face, he saw Wan He kept muttering: "How on earth did this kid Wuji do it? Either he didn't do anything for a long time, or if he did it, , it’s too exaggerated to have such a huge fever in one breath,”
"Ahem," a violent cough came from the gate. Immediately afterwards, Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling were seen walking out of the gate quickly, supporting Mr. Wan. Although the old man has a strong body, he is still in his sixties or seventies after all. Being smoked by the fire was very uncomfortable and he kept coughing.
Seeing the old man coming out, Wan He couldn't help but shrink his neck, and immediately stepped forward to help him, saying: "Dad, you, are you okay?"
"Huh," Mr. Wan snorted, but he shook Wan He's hand away, raised his head, a cold light flashed through his eyes, glared at Wan He fiercely, and lowered his voice and shouted: "I What's the matter? I just almost made you mad to death,"
The old man scolded him like this, and Wan He instinctively shrank his head. He also knew that the old man probably knew that the fire was his own work. Although this house is not the Wan family's old house, the Wan family is in this house. Three generations have lived here. It would be a lie to say that the old man has no feelings for this house. But now it has been burned down by Wan He. It is strange that the old man is not angry. When he thinks of this, Wan He becomes angry. He couldn't help but feel scared, but the old man's eyes were staring at him. He didn't dare to hide. He could only smile and said: "Well, dad, you know what happened. There's nothing we can do about it, kid." Well, destroying a house can save thousands of our families, so it’s worth it.”
"Bullshit," the old man cursed Wan He's explanation. If the old man hadn't been so dry from the smoke, he would have spat on Wan He's face, but soon the old man became serious again. , said in a deep voice: "Is your third uncle gone?"
"Uh," Wan He was speechless immediately. When Wan He was about to come over, a servant told him that he saw Wan Sanye's body in Wan Zha's room, and Wan Zha started to kill Wan San. When the master was killed, all the servants in the yard saw it, so Wan He soon knew that the killer was actually Wan Sanye's own son. In any case, Wan Sanye was Wanhe's third uncle after all, and even more so. Mr. Wan's younger brother, now that Wan Sanye has met such an end, Wan He feels very uncomfortable, let alone the old man.
"Beast," Mr. Wan cursed, but this time Wan He was not afraid, because he knew that this sentence was not scolding him, but scolding the patricide Wan He, and the old man gently broke away. He picked up Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling who were supporting him, leaning on crutches, straightening his back, and humming: "Where is that beast now?"
Wan He did not answer immediately, but turned to look at Changsun Wuji. He had just handed Wan Zha over to Chang Sun Wuji for disposal. When Changsun Wuji saw him, he immediately replied: "Wan Zha is locked up at the back door. , someone is watching,”
"Huh," Mr. Wan snorted again, slammed the crutch in his hand on the ground, and cursed in a deep voice: "What are you doing with this beast? Throw him into the fire and burn him clean. "When he said this, Mr. Wan's face was full of murderous intent. Wan He, even veterans on the battlefield such as Lai Hu'er, had never seen such decisive killing. He couldn't help but be stunned. In fact, not only Wan He , Li Jing, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and even Zhu Muwu who were next to them were all stunned by Mr. Wan's murderous intention, and they all looked at Mr. Wan in disbelief.
As if aware of everyone's gaze, Mr. Wan glared at everyone and shouted: "What are you looking at? You haven't seen me, and you still don't do what I say."
"Well, uncle," Fang Xuanling, who finally recovered at this time, immediately advised: "Although Wan Zha's crime is unpardonable, he is a descendant of the Wan family after all. Besides, he is still a court official. Let's execute him privately like this. , there may be something wrong,”
Mr. Wan was very polite to Fang Xuanling, and what Fang Xuanling said was reasonable, so Mr. Wan thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Well, my nephew is right, so I'll let you go for the time being." This beast, Wan He, you should immediately take this beast to Luoyang Prefecture with your men. You must make this beast pay with his blood."
"No," Mr. Wan had just finished speaking. Changsun Wuji shouted again, and immediately said to the old man: "This matter must not be publicized. Today's Holy Father is particularly taboo about patricide. If this matter comes to His Majesty, I know, I am afraid that it will make the Holy Lord Long Yan very angry, and the eldest young master will definitely be implicated when the time comes,"
Everyone understood the meaning of Changsun Wuji's words as soon as they heard it. The process of Yang Guang's winning of the throne had long been spread throughout the world. It was said that Yang Guang won the throne by killing his father and brother, so Yang Guang was very interested in this kind of people. Things have always been taboo. If the story of Wan Zha's patricide was spread, it would definitely make Yang Guang furious. Wan He had already seen the emperor's anger. It didn't matter if Wan Zha died. Maybe Yang Guang would still be alive. It would anger the entire Wan family, so Changsun Wuji dissuaded this matter.
Two of his arguments were rejected. Mr. Wan was not a good-tempered person. He got angry and shouted: "Asshole, how can we let this beast get away with it?"
Hearing Mr. Wan's roar, everyone on the left and right had a wry smile. From this point of view, it can only be like this. The most important thing is that behind Wan Zha, there is a Qi King Yang Xun who is making trouble. Wan Zha's The reason why the delay in taking up the post in Chang'an until now is precisely the result of Yang Jian's manipulation behind the scenes. Therefore, the Wan family could not even deal with Wan Zha privately. Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling could even foresee that by tomorrow, the officials would The Ministry will definitely issue a document to urge Wan Chi to take office. If Wan Chi does not show up by then, Yang Xian will definitely use this as an excuse to cause trouble again.
Mr. Wan lost his temper, but after a while, the old man returned to his usual appearance. He snorted coldly, slapped the crutch in his hand on the ground again, and shouted: "I don't care about this matter, let you do whatever you want. "Come on, come on, come and help me," as the old man shouted, several servants rushed over immediately, stepped forward to help the old man and left angrily. Although the Wanfu was burned to the ground, since the Wan family is The richest man in Luoyang naturally has no worries about not having a place to stay.
Seeing that the old man was gone, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. It was obvious that the old man was not an unreasonable person. He knew that things should not be done and did not force them. Then Wan He turned around and asked Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling: "Then, what should we do with this Wan Zha?"
Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling looked at each other and smiled bitterly at the same time. Finally, Changsun Wuji said helplessly: "There is no good way. We can only wait until tomorrow when the officials from the Ministry of Personnel arrive, and let them take Wan Let's go. We can't control whether Wan will go to Chang'an to take office or stay with King Qi in the future."
At this moment, Li Jing had basically understood what had happened. Li Jing had always valued loyalty, justice and filial piety. He naturally hated Wan Zha, an unfilial person like him who dared to kill his father, and was unwilling to let him go. Li Jing's eyes rolled. , suddenly came up with a way and said: "We can deal with Wan Zha first, and when the officials come to investigate, we will deduce that Wan Zha has gone to Chang'an to take up his post. It is a long way from Luoyang to Chang'an. Who can guarantee that Wan Zha will be on the road? If nothing unexpected happens, as long as we do it cleanly, King Qi won’t be able to find out even if he wants to,”
Hearing Li Jing's method, Wan He looked at Li Jing in surprise. He didn't expect that Li Jing, who looked loyal and kind, could come up with such a sinister trick. It's true that people should not be judged by their appearance. Just when Wan He was about to agree, Fang Xuanling next to him But he shook his head and said: "No, now we and King Qi are at loggerheads. King Qi will definitely monitor our every move, so we can't take it lightly and let King Qi seize any excuse. Even though It's hateful, but even if we save his life, it won't have any impact on the overall situation. It's better to let him go first and wait until the matter subsides in the future before taking his life."
