Traveling through the Gaowu Tang Dynasty, Li Kuan and Li Shimin became the second sons of the Prince

"Zhou Ling is also a fool..." Wei Zheng sighed after hearing this: "Wine, sex, money and anger... eventually made him lose his original intention..."

"Zhou Ling deserves to die," Zhang Baoxiang's face turned cold when he heard this: "I will personally send him off!"

"Back then, he went through life and death with you..." Upon hearing this, Wei Zheng glanced at Zhang Baoxiang and said, "Since you are to my liking, if you want to kill Zhou Ling, I can do it for you."

"Lord Wei, I appreciate your kindness, but if I don't kill him, how can I report to His Majesty afterwards?" Zhang Baoxiang now looked at Wei Zheng and found that he was not so rigid. "Your Majesty is giving me a chance, and I should cherish it."

"Okay..." Wei Zheng nodded after hearing that.

The two men didn't say anything else afterwards. They immediately mounted their horses, reorganized the team, and then rushed to Xingzhou.

-------------------------------------

Xingzhou City, the prefectural government’s residence.

Wang Dayong is now trembling all over.

"You...you mean..." Wang Dayong didn't know what sin he had committed. He actually listened to Zhou Ling's advice and ordered his men to commit the shocking cases of "tax silver being robbed" and "official being killed". He then pinned the blame directly on Shan Tianchang, intending to kill two birds with one stone - not only to make up for the deficit caused by his corruption over the years, but also to pull the Broken Soul Valley, one of the three major bandit forces in Taihang Mountains, onto his own warship.

Now it's okay... I screwed up...

When Wang Pan returned a few days ago and told himself that the Tiger-Headed General from Taihang Mountain was His Royal Highness the King of Chu, he had already fallen into a state of shock three times a day.

Not only him, but also the killer Zhou Ling, has now locked himself up in the military camp, with heavy troops guarding him, for fear that His Royal Highness the King of Chu will come to take his life at any time.

Everyone is actually scared.

They all wanted to lie on the ground and bang their heads until they made loud noises - just to ask His Royal Highness the King of Chu to give their family a chance to survive when his army arrived.

but now……

Wei Zheng is here too...

That's it... it's all over...

If His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu arrived in Xingzhou first and the other party killed himself and Zhou Ling, the rest of the things would be much easier.

Now that he and Zhou Ling are dead, and His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu has vented his anger, the matter may end here and no one will continue to investigate.

After all, the Wang family of Taiyuan is not just for show.

But it happened that the one who came this time was Wei Zheng...

Given his intolerant personality, this matter will sooner or later get out of control.

No, it's out of control now.

"Brother, what should we do now?" Wang Pan looked at Wang Dayong with a complicated expression in his eyes: "How about... we commit suicide in advance to apologize?"

“No…” Wang Dayong looked up at Wang Pan after hearing this, and then he suddenly stopped trembling and began to speak slowly: “Brother Pan, I know you hate me for taking away your chance to enter the government, but in fact, it is not the case - that was the decision of the elders of the clan, and their will was not something that I, a young member of the clan with little influence at that time, could influence.

The reason you lost your chance is because you were too arrogant back then. The day after you learned that you would become an official, you teamed up with a few friends to forcibly seize the private property of a restaurant owner. To be honest, a person like you is destined not to have a career in the government. No matter how smart you are, your character will ultimately destroy everything for you. "

"..." Wang Pan didn't expect that after so many years, he would unexpectedly learn the truth that he was abandoned by his family: "I..."

“Brother Pan, I wanted to take you away at that time, not without selfish motives. I really needed someone to help me. But that person may not be you.” Wang Dayong said this, and suddenly took a deep look at him: “It was false that you occupied the private property of the restaurant owner back then, and it was true that you fell in love with his unmarried girl, but did you know that the girl was already the clan leader’s woman back then... You…” Wang Dayong said this, and suddenly stood up. Then he looked at Wang Pan, who had begun to tremble all over since he didn’t know when: “For so many years, I have always believed that I have done you well, but you think I owe you. I have always known about this misunderstanding, but do you know why I chose to resolve it today?”

"Brother... I..." Wang Pan was trembling and didn't know what to say. Unconsciously, he was crying like rain.

"I'm afraid the brotherhood between us two brothers is coming to an end in this life..." Wang Dayong said with a sad smile: "But we will still be brothers in the next life!"

"Brother!" Wang Pan suddenly fell to the ground and said, "I am sorry for you! I...I..."

"Don't panic," Wang Dayong continued in a calm tone, "We two don't have to die here. Duke Wei wants to kill people, so I, Wang Dayong, will stick my head out. I have done many evil things in this life, and I will probably be a bastard in the next life. But being a bastard is a matter for the next life. In this life, I am still unwilling to shrink my head."

"Brother! There is still a way, there is still a way!" Wang Pan felt inexplicable pain at this moment: "We can go and ask the clan leader to save us!"

"If we don't beg, the clan leader might still protect our families. Once we beg, the matter will be over, and the clan leader will think that we are threatening him, even if we are just begging." After many years of ups and downs in officialdom, Wang Dayong actually sees everything clearly.

"Brother..." Wang Pan's mind was already in a mess.

"Brother Pan, listen to me. You should leave the city right now. I have already arranged everything for you outside the city. You just need to take your sister-in-law and two nephews with you. From now on, the world will be yours...Brother Pan, one of us brothers must survive." Wang Dayong looked at Wang Pan with sincerity: "Over the years... there has always been a big gap between us brothers, but... after today, I hope you will not resent me anymore..."

"Brother!" Wang Pan burst into tears after hearing this.

In the end, Wang Pan left.

The reason that made him finally compromise was simple: they had to give an explanation for this matter, but his death, Wang Dayong, was already an explanation. As for their families, they should not hope that others would take good care of them after their death.

"Brother Pan, I only trust you!" Wang Dayong only needed one sentence to make Wang Pan regain his fighting spirit.

"Brother, don't worry!" Before leaving, he knelt in front of Wang Dayong and kowtowed three times respectfully: "In the future, I will take good care of my sister-in-law, Yun'er, and Ming'er, and will never let them suffer any grievances."

“Brother Pan, I am grateful for your kindness.” Wang Dayong stood up and knelt down to kowtow to Wang Pan. Before Wang Pan could kowtow, the latter grabbed his arm and said, “Brother! I will keep my promise!”

Not long after Wang Pan left the prefect's mansion, Wang Dayong, who had changed his clothes, sat behind the desk in the study. He looked at the beams above his head and thought for a moment. Then he said to the housekeeper standing beside him, "Did you tell them to do things more cleanly?"

"Master, don't worry about this. Steward Wang knew that the corruption he had committed behind your back over the years would soon be exposed, so he secretly kidnapped the wife and the two young masters and planned to escape from the city. When you found out, you sent people to chase them, and in the end..." The old steward said at the end, he looked deeply at Wang Dayong, and then said in a low voice: "The carriage lost control and fell off the cliff, and none of the four people survived!"
