Bastards

Chapter 182

On this day, the autumn wind was very bleak, swirling across the sky, paper money and white sails spread all over the day and ground, and the fallen leaves and floating dust that occupied the view most in the past were inconspicuous.

The sky was unbelievably gloomy.

In the white sail filled with paper money, the team wearing linen clothes and filial piety cloth, carrying the coffin came slowly, and after a while, they arrived in front of them.

The men who carried the coffin were of different statures, some were tall, some were short, some were fat, some were thin, and their appearances were not alike at all. One could tell that they were not from the same family.But their steps are neat and heavy, their faces are solemn, resolute, their backs are straight, their brows and eyes are sad, but their temperament is undiminished. This is a team of soldiers!

Although the people were surprised and curious, they immediately avoided the way out.For the last funeral in life, everyone is full of awe and respect.

But when the coffin-supporting team came to the front and saw the words on the tablet at the beginning, the common people all exclaimed in surprise and almost fell sick from fright.

Yang Shu, Prince of England!

The old man is... gone?

How can it be!Yesterday, I saw him beating up a dude on the street, and by the way, had a flirtation with Wang Duo, the Patriarch of the Wang family. He was so energetic, and many young people couldn't compare to him!This is not sick or disaster, why did he go suddenly?

Is there an inside story!

Over the years, the old man either won the battle at the border, or returned to Luoyang to teach the younger generation, a rogue and corrupt official, and he has a very high status in the hearts of the people.Although everyone is mortal, the common people are really reluctant to part with this old man. They don't even watch jokes, discuss and lament the short-sightedness of the deceased's parents. They all rush to tell each other, and soon, one after another, they are attached to the coffin-holding procession. The momentum is quite huge!

The man who carried the coffin didn't speak, so they didn't want to ask, but if the old man was really in a hurry, they would cry and see him off, but if there was something else...they wouldn't be able to spare the evildoer!

The coffin-supporting team was silent all the way, but the atmosphere became more and more dignified, and more and more people followed.Not long after, the whole of Luoyang was almost deserted by thousands of people. Everyone followed the team silently, without speaking or communicating. The only thing they couldn't control was the wind that was bleak and cold, and the footsteps that couldn't be controlled as the number of people increased.

The team stopped in front of Wang's house.

The concierge of the Wang family was shocked...

This mighty, aggressive coffin-holding team, who almost put the words 'not kind to the visitor' on their heads, obviously came for their own family!

The two concierges looked at each other, quickly closed the door with a 'slap', and rushed to the main courtyard to report the news.

When the team stopped at the gate of the Wang family, the common people felt a thump in their hearts. Could it be that the old man really went because of the Wang family!

Those who supported the coffin were all personal soldiers under the tent of the Prince of England. They were mighty, and their movements were uniform. When the coffin was placed on the ground, people heard a soft sound, saw the fine dust floating, and returned to silence.

"I am the leader of Prince Ying's personal guards. My surname is Yan and my name is Yang. Today, I have honored the prince's last wish, carried the coffin up to this point, and announced the prince's farewell handwriting. Please be a witness!"

Yan Yang is eight feet tall, with a square face, broad lips, sharp eyes, a muscular figure, a very straight waist, and an imposing manner like a javelin, fierce and domineering.

He took out a handwritten letter from his chest and raised it high: "This is the handwritten letter of the prince!"

All eyes were on the letter.

Yan Yang looked around the field and spoke loudly, full of air: "The prince said, he has killed a lot in this life, he is worthy of the world, and he does not regret his own heart. It is enough! He has been happy all his life, and now he is old. I am afraid that I will no longer be able to take up a sword and gun to serve the country and the people, and I will have nothing to ask for, so I will simply do it for my children and grandchildren!"

"The grandson Yang Xu is a man who was taught and cultivated by the old prince. He grew up in the army. He joined the army as soon as he was sensible and fought against the Western Turks. He has made continuous achievements in the past ten years. Not only did his opponents fear the news, but he was also known as a "Confucian general" in the army. , there are countless dead souls in his hands, but there is not a single innocent person! Just because he is different from the world, he fell in love with a man, and he was a man of aristocratic family, so he was framed and framed, and his reputation was completely ruined. The old prince is very sad. There are soldiers who have expanded the territory, and the people have worked hard, and the world will be rich in the future, how can there be no tolerance for this!"

"If you don't agree with the younger generation, it's fine if you refuse. Why do you do this, it's disgusting!"

"The case of Wang Jie has been filed and investigated by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but the old man Wang Duo didn't even want to wait for this time. The old man couldn't bear to scold him in the street! Since the Wang family said they owed them a life, well, the old man will pay it back. !Old Wang Duo, please release Wang Ji, the one who is in love with your grandchildren, the beauty of an adult!"

The eyes of the common people are all as big as copper bells, and the old man actually...did he kill himself for his grandson!

Everyone's throats were a little tight, and thousands of thoughts came to them, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

Under Yanyang, a slightly older veteran wiped his eyes with his sleeve, and his eyes were red: "Didn't the old man want to get his grandchildren's ideas? The back was smashed, and it hasn't healed yet and continues, old and new scars layer after layer , but the love of the grandchildren, he didn't say a word in a daze, saying that in this lifetime, only Mr. Wang Ji is alone, if he breaks his oath, he will be destroyed by heaven and earth!"

Someone in the crowd immediately thought of it, and punched their palms: "This Wang Ji is also affectionate to his descendants! I have heard people say that Wang Duo, the Patriarch of the Wang family, forced Wang Ji to break his heart more than once, and even used tricks to make him want to die." He slept with a woman, but it didn't work out in the end!"

"That's right! Wang Ji was raised by the aunt of the Wang family. She has a compassionate heart, a tough heart, and the most upright spirit. She will never betray her sweetheart!"

……

The voice in the crowd became louder and louder, and more and more people sighed for it. Yan Yang waved his hand high, and the surroundings were immediately quiet.

"The old man said, look at the world with a clear mind, don't be deceived by others, and look at things with your own heart! The eyes of the people are sharp, and they will be able to distinguish the truth from the false, and be just!"

Some people in the crowd began to clenched their fists, and there was sharpness in their eyes.

Yan Yang held up his calligraphy hand, and his voice kept saying, "The old man also said that he did it on his own will, and didn't let his subordinates tell the two little generals. Now that things are getting serious, the two grandsons will come to hear the news sooner or later. At that time, please do me a favor and persuade the two grandsons not to do anything else!"

Someone in the crowd immediately raised their hands: "Don't worry, old man, we are all watching, and we will never let others bully the two grandchildren!"

Yan Yang closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said loudly again: "The old man's last words, use this body to calm Wang Duo's anger and become the beauty of the younger generation. If Wang Duo is still unwilling, then this corpse will be placed in the In front of the gate of Wang’s house! No matter who it is, if you want to put him in the ground, you will look down on his achievements and be disloyal to Da’an! If the descendants insist on putting him in the ground, it is unfilial. He would rather be a lonely ghost than spare the unfilial descendants! If someone dares to expel his body, his subordinates and grandsons will not be able to stop him or protect him. It is also unrighteous and unfilial. The subordinates are not worthy of being a military household, and the grandson is not worthy of the surname Yang. Please take back the iron certificate of the palace Danshu. Since then, there will be no Prince of England The Yang family!"

As soon as these words came out, there was silence, the old man... is really ruthless!

Such an oath can be made!

Before he could recover, the coffin board had been opened by the guards, and the old man's body appeared in front of everyone.

Just like in the past, the old man's beard is upturned, his eyebrows are frizzy, his sideburns are all white, and he is thin and thin... The difference is that the old man's face is gray and blue, he has no breath, he no longer has the energy of the past, and he can no longer open his eyes. eyes!

The people all sighed in pity.

"Why is this necessary..."

"It's obvious that the juniors love each other, and it's a good thing to marry, so why does the Wang family have to be so stiff?"

"What's wrong with the man? There are two men together everywhere, why can't we tolerate it?"

"What a nice man... What a tough old man, he was so pissed off."

"It's admirable to come here for the junior!"

"People who have made great contributions to Da'an should not be let down like this!"

There was that affectionate person who covered his face and wiped his eyes.

After wiping, the first one raised his hand and shouted: "Wang Duo admits his mistake!! Release Mr. Wang Ji!!"

"Let Mr. Wang Ji come out!"

"Let Mr. Wang Ji come out!"

All the sounds gathered in one place, it was deafening, and the plaque on the gate of Wang's house trembled.

……

In the main courtyard of the Wang family, Wang Duo stood up abruptly, but accidentally brushed his sleeve against a corner of the table, and the glazed celadon tea cup was taken off and fell to the ground, making a crisp and shattering sound.

"What did you say?" His eyes were wide open, his nose was trembling, and he was clutching the butler's lapel, his expression full of surprise and uneasiness.

The housekeeper sighed, his master has never been so disrespectful in his life...

"The old slave said that the old man, Prince Ying committed suicide, and the coffin was brought to our door. He said that it was a life for a life, so please stop holding the score and send Mr. Wang Ji out..."

Wang Duo's eyes were cold, and he slammed the table: "He said that I have to give it away? Why! Just because he died! Because he is old and powerful, can he be worthy of my grandson's life? He thought beautifully." !"

"But outside..."

"What's going on outside, it's just the trick of that old man! It's not unusual for such a rascal to do anything!" Wang Duo's eyes became more and more serious, "It must be a fake death, it must be a fake!"

The butler lowered his head and said softly, "The old man... this time it's real, the coffin lid was opened in the street, his face was blue and his lips were ashen, and he couldn't breathe at all. Someone tried it, and the old man really went."

"Really dead?" Wang Duo's eyes twitched, and he waved his sleeves, "I don't believe it!"

The butler knelt down with the hem of his robe in his hand: "I have to believe it...Master, listen to the voices outside, this time you must not be stubborn, you must deal with it well!"

Wang Duo turned his head slightly, looking out of the window.

The sky is gloomy and there is no sunshine at all. It should be a beautiful autumn day, but the atmosphere is so depressing.

A loud cry ran along the wall, along the wind, to my ears, it was the voices of the people: let Mr. Wang Ji come out!

"Shameless!" He threatened to die, and even used others!

Wang Duo's face became more and more stern, and his voice became more and more icy: "You don't need to persuade me, I won't let Wang Ji go out!"

The old butler opened his mouth, but didn't say anything in the end.

Wang Duo narrowed his eyes slightly: "Send the word, block all the servants for me, and don't reveal a word to the family temple. Whoever alarms Wang Wu, whose family will die!"

The old housekeeper was very surprised: "But the old man has gone... Although my aunt made an oath at the beginning, this last look, let me see you?" Otherwise, it would be too ruthless.

Wang Duo twitched his fingers lightly, and snorted coldly: "What do you know? It's because people are dead that they can't see you! That's what the old man thinks, so I won't let Wu'er see him! Don't even think about dying!"

No one can stop the Patriarch's order, Wang Duo is determined, and the old butler can't say anything else, so he has to obey: "This old slave will handle it well, but it's not good to be so rigid about external matters, you It’s better to make up your mind earlier.”

"I know, you step back."

When the people left, Wang Duo seemed to be unable to hold back any longer. With the strength off his body, he sat slumped on the chair, unable to close his eyes.

died?

How did he die?

Wang Wu is still alive, so why is the old man willing to die?

Threatened with his life, how dare he!

……

Although the Prince of England did these things behind his back, the news spread throughout Luoyang almost instantly. How could the two grandsons not know about it?

Yang Zhao didn't believe it at all when he heard that, he searched all over the palace and found everything, so he came to look for his eldest brother Yang Xu in a daze.

Yang Xu's heart beat violently, almost fainting from fright.What grandpa said last night, grandpa's expression, came to my eyes one after another... Could it be because of him?Did grandpa make a decision at that time?

His eyes were red immediately, and he was about to go out with his younger brother.It's a pity...he knelt all night and could hardly stand up, so Yang Zhao had to carry it on his back. The two brothers rushed all the way, following the sound of people, and rushed to the front of Wang's house.

Seeing the familiar coffin that his grandfather had found for him in the early years, Yang Zhao's legs went limp, and he almost threw his elder brother on his back.When he saw the person in the coffin, Yang Xu cried out immediately, slid off Yang Zhao's body, knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Grandson is not filial...Grandpa, grandson is not filial!"

He clenched his fists tightly, his fingernails were deeply embedded in his palms, blood was leaking out, his eyes were even more bloodshot, and he was almost on the verge of going crazy.

Yang Zhao...was a little slow to react. He still couldn't believe it after seeing this scene, so he walked to the coffin and reached out to touch the old man's breath.

"No...why not...how can there be no! Grandpa, breathe out, it will be wrong if you don't breathe again!"

He became more and more nervous and impatient, and finally almost grabbed the skirt of his clothes to shake the old man, but was stopped by the guards and the people.

He still stared at Yuanyuan and struggled with tears in his eyes, looking like an enemy to everyone: "Let go! I want to save my grandpa, my grandpa is not dead yet, he can't die!!"

At this scene, all the people present sighed.

Soon, everyone glared at the Wang family. It was this old man who was unkind to his family. Look at how he forced his family into it!

Everyone persuaded Brother Yang Xu and Yang Zhao: "The old man has already gone, you two can express your condolences, don't cause trouble!"

"The old man asked us to watch you two, we will definitely not let others bully you, but you two have to be well, calm down, you can't violently kill people!"

"The old man has been for you all his life, you can't let his blood flow in vain..."

"It's not that the old man doesn't want to see you for the last time. Who doesn't want to look at his children and grandchildren before leaving? He deliberately avoids you because he is afraid that you will stop him from doing this..."

"The old man is suffering..."

With the guards and the people pressing down, Yang Xu and Yang Zhao couldn't make a fuss. After a while, the mood of the two of them also eased down, and their senses returned.

Yang Zhao stared at the leopard's eyes, clenched his fists, and said with a vicious expression, "As Grandpa's last wish, if Wang Duo doesn't send his sister-in-law out, I'll demolish his Wang family!"

Yang Xu looked up at the sky, his eyes seemed to be filled with blood and tears, and he was terrified: "I am already very sorry for Grandpa, and I can't be more sorry...Since Grandpa has already done something, Wang Ji, I must take it away, even if the Wang family doesn't want it. , even if you want to die on the spot!"

He raised his calloused hand, which had been practiced for many years, and looked at the blood in it: "Anyway, this life was given by grandpa, and it's a good thing to die with grandpa."

Although the voice is very soft, it sounds very soft, and it has a perverted taste, which makes people shudder.

The two brothers looked at each other, and Qi Qi turned to the gate of the Wang family, his voice was as fierce as his eyes: "Old man of the Wang family, hand over Wang Ji!"

The people also raised their arms and shouted: "Old man of the Wang family, hand over Wang Ji!"

The atmosphere is terrifying. Once you get up and blend in, it will be as mighty as the sea, unstoppable!

None of the people felt that they were at fault, it was the Wang family who were at fault!Don't mention other high and low merits and demerits, the old man's life has been paid back, so Wang Ji should be given out!

Those with a little bit of knowledge in the industry quickly sent people around to spread the word.

who?Tell all the families to come and see what you bosses are doing to drive the old prince to death!

Call the government yamen, the aristocratic family forced the prince to death, you don't care after all!

It's called Zongzheng Temple. The old man of the Prince of England is surnamed Yang. He belongs to the clan and is a relative of the emperor. Now that he has died so badly, he can't come here to uphold justice!

The momentum rose sharply one after another, and not long after, the common people helped to smash the Wang family's door.

"Wang Duo of the Wang family! Pretending to be a grandson, open the door!"

"Exactly! You have the ability to kill people, but you have the ability to open the door!"

"If we don't open the door again, we will break into the house!"

……

In such a situation, it is obvious that it can't be kind. The Wang family really can't avoid it anymore and must come out.

The door opened with a "squeak" and slowly retreated to both sides.The people voluntarily gave way to reveal the coffin of Prince Ying and the two grandsons in front of the coffin.

Inside the door is Wang Duo, he came out in person!

Wang Duo attaches the most importance to etiquette, and he has a very good temperament. He seems to have changed his clothes on purpose at the moment. The patriarch of the aristocratic family usually wears a dignified toga style, with a sky blue background, and the hem of the skirt is embroidered with family crests. It is a style!

"Everyone's words are separated by several walls, and the old man is a little deaf, but I still heard them." Wang Duo glanced across the crowd at the scene, without any panic or hesitation, and his tone was always serious, "It's just This is a matter between my two families, can you let my two families settle it by themselves?"

Wang Duo took two steps forward, looking at Yang Xu and Yang Zhao, with cold eyes: "Decades ago, there was Wang Jue, the best descendant of the Wang family, and now there is Wang Jie, the grandson of the old man. There is an aunt who has never married and seldom goes out. How can you just let go of such grievances and resentments? You are using your life to help each other, using tricks to create momentum, and asking the common people to help oppress, isn't it a bit shameless?"

Yang Zhao couldn't hold back his anger, and immediately said: "You are shameless—"

But Wang Duo ignored him, Gu Zi cut off his words, and continued: "Two lives, a girl who has never married, this enmity is irreconcilable! Don't say that you Yang Shu is dead, even your whole family is dead. , My Wang family’s heart is full of sorrow, and it will not be less than half a point. My Wang family’s juniors, regardless of gender, will not enter your Yang family’s door even if they die!”

The end is loud and powerful, and the momentum is unparalleled!

Yang Zhao jumped: "Don't fart! You don't know what happened back then? Your family Wang Jue died because of you, and your aunt and grandma took the responsibility for you. She didn't marry for the rest of her life. Everything is your fault, so you scold me Someone else, won't your conscience hurt!"

Wang Duo narrowed his eyes: "I can't let you, an outsider, talk about my Wang family's affairs!"

Yang Xu stopped his younger brother and looked at Wang Duo with a very calm expression: "So, no matter what, you won't give Wang Ji to me?"

"Even if you go on a killing spree and kill all the members of my Wang family, Wang Ji will not give it to you!"

Everyone looked at Yang Xu, feeling something was wrong, why is this kid's eyes all red, like a ghost from hell?

When the personal guards saw that it was worse, they immediately gathered around to prevent the descendants from going crazy——

"Hey, who is so shameless, dare not admit what he has done, and refuse to correct his ruthless mistakes, thinking that he is really justified by deceiving himself like this, is he really right?"

A lazy and extravagant voice came, and the crowd naturally gave way. Prince Yang Xuan just walked over.

The people of Luoyang were all too familiar with this prince, so they immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "His Royal Highness!"

"Your Highness is a thousand years old!"

"Your Highness, hurry up and help Prince Ying, the old man is so mad at Wang Duo, and Wang Duo still insists on denying it!"

The tense atmosphere suddenly changed, Wang Duo was interrupted, unable to get angry, and Yang Xu's hostility was temporarily suppressed, not crazy.

Yang Xuan was also unambiguous, first waved his hands to get the people to stand up, then went to bow in front of Prince Ying's coffin, and finally walked up to Wang Duo slowly, squinted at him, and said with sarcasm in his voice: "The old man's surname is Yang, he belongs to the imperial family. He has made great achievements, and the late emperor personally conferred the title of Prince of Ying and the iron certificate of alchemy, why, a minister like him who has made great contributions to the country, can't match up with your bastard grandson Wang Jie who spends his days and drinks and flies around?"

Wang Duo narrowed his eyes: "It's not this one that he owes me to the Wang family, but also—"

"Oh, I just think that this size is one size," Yang Xuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "If you insist on pushing forward, then I will go to the Wang family before the founding of the country——is your great-grandfather or your great-grandfather? Was beaten? Fucking shit almost ran away with my family, or my Yang family saved your family, who owes whom?"

Wang Duo choked: "You can't count like that!"

"Heh, you are allowed to move forward, and no one else is allowed to do it? The co-author of this world is all written for you?" Yang Xuan snorted coldly, with a drawn-out tone, "Furthermore--this king's day Whether his death has anything to do with the Yang family or not is being investigated by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but you haven't found out yet, it's better for you to piss off the old man first... Are you so anxious to facilitate this cause and effect?"

The common people gasped: "So it is!"

"Mother, what a sinister thought!"

"It's him who is right, and everyone else is wrong!"

"What did the old man just say? The Yang family still owes him two lives? There must be something wrong here! This old man must have cheated the old man, Prince Ying again!"

"The old man is just too upright, careless, and straight to the point, no wonder he can't beat these flamboyants!"

Hearing these words, Wang Duo turned pale.

He knew the crown prince, the rumors from inside and outside the womb these days are all about his rude behavior, which is not worthy of respect at all!

Unreasonable, he said it to the prince, and he didn't want to break up these trivial matters with the prince. He looked too unmannered, and immediately said with a straight face: "I will put the words here today, and I, a member of the Wang family, will definitely not Give it to the Yang family, how do you treat it!"

"No way," Yang Xuan pointed to the coffin, "Just as the old man said, if you don't bury it or not, just stop here."

The veins on Wang Duo's forehead twitched: "This is my Wang family!"

"That's right, the gate belongs to your house, but this street doesn't belong to your house, so it's not under your control."
