Crown Sword

The servants dispersed, and the gate was sealed, but the house was confiscated. It seems that the superior is quite lenient.Wang Hong stood at the foot of the stone steps outside Zhongshu Ling's mansion, his face was unshaven, his black eyes were haggard, and he watched the word "Wang" fall into the dust, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, feeling uncomfortable in his heart.

Someone on the road chewed their tongues and said sarcastic remarks——

"All three tribes of barbarians are good! Be content, think of yourself as a young master!"

It doesn't mean kindness to be less than one's relatives. If Wang Gong is tougher, if there is no intricate marriage between the noble families, it is only a matter of one sentence to kill him with the help of His Majesty because of King Kuaiji's fear of him.This is the price to be paid as a pawn, and it is also the inevitable result of being a pawn.

After even the wet nurse bid farewell and returned home, in just ten breaths, only Tie Yi was left by his side.

"Master..."

Tie Yi scratched his head, feeling very heavy in his heart, but he felt faintly that it hadn't really reached the point of bitter wind and rain.Putting the family fortune on other people may be a crime of enslavement, starvation to death on the street, or prostitution, but it seems that it is not enough to put Wang Hong here.

Taking a step back, the Wang family in Taiyuan has a great business, and several uncles and uncles are still there, and it is extremely comfortable to be a big official in the frontier from Beijing, and you have to sell face in the capital; The Xie clan, in the name of Xie An's grandson, will at least have enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives; if it is worse, there will be an uncle who is the prefect of Yuzhang.

Tie Yi is not a hard-hearted man, he just came from a business background, and he felt that his father's death is tragic, but compared to the real people in the world who are deeply saddened, they are nothing.

"Okay, even you want to take pleasure in other's misfortune?" Seeing him hesitating, Wang Hong gave him a hard look.

"No, it's not like that, young master, I mean..."

Tie Yi hurriedly explained, but Wang Hong didn't listen, and stretched out his hand to push him away, not showing a good face: "Get out, who is your young master, what you said is so sarcastic, look at me, then look at this house, I Is it still young master?"

"No, no, young master, no, you are..." Tie Yi couldn't move his tongue clearly, he was a big man, and he was on the verge of tears.

Seeing this, Wang Hong turned his back and pressed his lips tightly.Tie Yi beat him up, because with his temperament, he couldn't do the kind of disgusting things that a villain can succeed in, but he felt uncomfortable in his heart. At this juncture, he didn't want to admit his failure, let alone face reality .

After a long time, he was powerless to wave his hand and let him go: "Go, I want to be alone."

What Tie Yi saw was that the Wang family fell, and Wang Hong went from being able to eat ten roast chickens to only one. There was always meat to eat, but Wang Hong knew very well that everyone was afraid of bad luck. They all stayed far away, even if they looked at their relatives' face and gave him food and lodging, it was nothing more than sending them under the fence.

How much he weighs, he still has self-knowledge, since he has no ability, how can he hold his head up in the future.Giving money, giving alms, everything will lose face. For him now, eating and drinking are not considered at all, and self-esteem is more important than survival.

Unable to figure out why, Wang Hong decided to have a drink or two first to relieve his worries. In Jiankang restaurants, he could count them with his favorite hand. He had a lot of times, his brain was not good at thinking, and his legs had already led people to their destination.As soon as the waiter at the door, who was attracting customers, saw him coming, he quickly winked at the old shopkeeper who settled the accounts, and went up to meet him first.

"My lord, it's full of customers today..."

Without waiting for the waiter to finish speaking, Wang Hong slapped him away and walked in, no matter how much he called, he didn't stop.Looking at the lobby, there are still a lot of vacant seats on both sides, but there are indeed a lot of seats in the Yasha and the cubicle next to the window on the second floor, but in terms of the remaining seats, I can still count one or two.

Another dog who sees people as inferior.

Wang Hong was simmering with anger in his heart, and wanted to see how presumptuous they dared to be, so he turned his head and gave the follower behind him a hard look: "Master, I'm going to the ordinary private room now, if I have the ability to call someone to throw me out! "

Xiao Er touched his nose, and stayed where he was in silence.

The old shopkeeper let go of his hands and followed him, scolding all over his head and face: "Why didn't you stop him?"

Xiao Er was not pleased at both ends, and felt aggrieved, so he spread the tablecloth and spat: "It's just a wild goose that came out of Sichuan. He's looking for bad luck, so let him look for it!"

The old shopkeeper put his hands on the top of his head, and sighed: "You can't be like this!"

Wang Hong walked to the end of the corridor and pushed open the wooden door. The door panels collided with each other, making a terrifying noise. All the drinkers inside turned their heads to look, with expressions on their faces blooming.

There were quite a few of them, all friends who used to drink and eat meat.

Wang Hong stood by the door with folded hands, neither took off his boots to enter, nor closed the door to leave, just staring blankly at the crowd.The one on the left who was hugging the girl, his face was flushed, as if he was drunk, he lifted his foot, his heel fell on the table, and said in a strange way: "Hey, look, who is this distinguished guest?"

The people who helped to talk to each other have sprung up like mushrooms after the spring rain——

"What wind brought Mr. Wang here?"

"You have a yellow accent. If you don't allow someone to change your name, you can thank your mother's surname. Isn't the Xie family better than the Wang family? Heh, the ancestors have sheltered you, at least you won't be reunited!"

There are also those who sing red faces, and they are easy-going peacemakers.

"For friends, if you don't want your tongue, cut off your tongue and go drink."

"Ah Hong, brother is joking, don't mind, come, come, sit down and eat and drink."

As he spoke, he handed over a set of clean wine cups.

Under such a stark contrast, anyone who hears good words will soften their ears and subconsciously seek support. Sure enough, Wang Hong took the seat closest to that person and stepped down, with a soft voice, he hesitated to speak a few times before opening Zunkou: "I, I want to stay at your house for a few days."

"This can't be allowed," the man shied away, and was afraid that he would misunderstand, so in order to save face, he tried his best to explain, "It just so happens that the family has been inconvenient for a few days, and my wife is losing his temper. If this collides, it will be troublesome." A joke..." He put his hands on his lips and cursed in a low voice, "...a hag."

His wife is so virtuous that she can be called a husband and wife. The idea of ​​this hag was originally thought of by Wang Hong. The reason is nothing more than newlyweds who don't want to go out to work and socialize.

But Wang Hong didn't expose it, his eyes followed the seating order and fell on the person next to him.

"What about you?"

"Me? Young Master Wang, you can be joking, you know my father's temper, he..." The little man who answered the words instantly became cowardly.As far as his father's snobbish eyes are concerned, this is true.

Once Wang Guobao died, Wang Gong was satisfied, but there were quite a few people who responded to his rebellion, including Jingzhou governor Yin Zhongkan, Yongzhou governor Yang Quanqi, and Huan Xuan who had been entrenched in Jiangling all year round. Will Sima Daozi, who is determined to be Huairou, respond one by one?

At this juncture, no one wants to be a target and lose the whole family.

Wang Hong didn't hold out hope, he could tell that these people were just friends in words, and they only hoped to pick themselves off, even people who had no relatives, maybe relatives from the parents' family were watching from the other side It's a joke, even if you can help, you may not be able to help, not to mention that his father was not very popular back then.

Virtue does not match, it is naturally criticized by envy.

But he refused to give up, and wanted to test again whether human feelings were really so indifferent. It seemed that begging outsiders was more comfortable than begging his own family members, so he ordered a person on the wine table and said: "I vaguely remember that I borrowed money years ago. I got you a pre-Qin deer drum to play with a mirror with animal patterns, so it should be time to come back, right?"

But Ren replied to him in an innocent and inexplicable tone: "Where did you excuse me?"

Wang Hong slapped the table, not wanting to listen any more, and poured the wine on his hand.

All of a sudden, everyone put down their wine cups, and even those who hugged the girl loosened their hands. The atmosphere was heavy and stagnant, like a gloomy dark cloud, leaving only the most straightforward and indifferent expressions on their faces.

"I invite this meal, hmph, this is the end!" Wang Hong was indignant, blushing from the face to the root of the neck, his neck was stuck, he looked around, and said bitterly.

After finishing speaking, he threw his cup as farewell and walked out quickly.

Xiaoer was startled by the noise, and leaned on the door frame to look around. Wang Hong caught a glimpse, stopped for a while, and said in front of everyone: "Enter my account."

"There is no money in the account, where can I withdraw it?" Xiaoer slipped the words out, and Wang Hong was so ashamed that he couldn't come down.

The people in the small room leaned forward and backward with laughter, hugging the girl and beckoning: "Let's give it ourselves, Young Master Wang, why don't you come to eat some? I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future!" Following his words, another call Laughing loudly, even Xiao Er on the other side pursed his lips and held his breath, with the word "happy" written all over his eyes.

Wang Hong couldn't stand it any longer, clenched his fists and ran out.

Spring and summer alternate, and it is the rainy season of Huangmei. There are two clear sky thunders outside, and the rain is pouring down.Tie Yi didn't leave, but secretly followed him all the way to the wine inn, and the two ran into each other in front of the steps.

"Master!"

Wang Hong glanced at it, but ignored it.

The young man in the private room opened the window and just saw this scene, talking and laughing with the wine jug: "Look, it's not too bad, isn't there a fool following here?"

Tie Yi fumbled around on his body, threw the purse and the broken money he pulled out at the window, turned his head to the old shopkeeper and said tremblingly, "The money belongs to my young master. I, he, gave it to me." The man's expression changed in shock, and the old shopkeeper grabbed his hand and refused to let him leave.

"What, what are you doing?" Tie Yi was so stubborn that he tried his best to restrain himself from drawing his sword.

The old shopkeeper dragged him to the counter, took out a brand new oil-paper umbrella and stuffed it into his hand, hissed and sighed: "I have worked in Jiankang City all my life before I became a shopkeeper from a clerk. Welcome and send it to the shopkeeper." I've seen too many ups and downs, just look at it." Then, he pressed Tie Yi's hand, "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for the old man, anyway, he used to frequent business, open the door to welcome guests, and hope There is still a chance to see you later.”

Wang Hong ran all the way, in a hurry, and fell down when he went down the steps, so he broke the can and fell, and squatted in the nearest bridge hole, but the wind and rain slanted, and he soon got wet, so he could only hug his knees, Huddled beside a rotten black awning boat.

He has no face to go to his uncle who is away. Wang Gong is also a member of the Wang family in Taiyuan. After all, it is his family who are cruel to his family. , but never chimed in, and even alienated intentionally or unintentionally.

After counting and counting, there is only Wang Mi left, but at this moment, it's not because he doesn't want to, but because he doesn't dare.The Langya Wang Clan has not shown much in the past few years, but it does not mean that its foundation is not solid. It is difficult to sort out the conflicts of interests between the clans. This mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and the two kings have disputes. Respect, I am afraid that I will get a bad nose, and like these people, I will be ridiculed.

Wang Hong, who has always been fearless, also began to guess carefully.

I am like the bird that is in trouble, but there is no branch to rely on, Wang Hong is more and more wronged, hiding in the rain and weeping bitterly, regretting that everything in the past did not leave a thread, and now there is no one to help, and resents the past for being unwise and misbehaving. If you lose your friends, you only end up losing both money and people.

God also seemed to take pity on him for the pain in his heart, and increased the sound of the wind and rain to drive away the passers-by along the way, giving him a chance to vent.Wang Hong wiped his tears recklessly until an oil-paper umbrella covered his head from the beginning.

——It's Tie Yi.

Wang Hong hated being sympathized by people who were inferior to him, so he numbly and coldly pushed away the handle of the umbrella, refusing to look back, until he was dazed by the rain and fell to the bank of the river.
