The wind on Tianlong Mountain was a little cold, and occasionally a few birds cries came. Wang Yu smiled with a self-deprecating smile and said, "This is a good place to support the elderly. When I was young, I thought that I could support the elderly in isolation here for the rest of my life."

Shangguan Yi looked around and said, "This is indeed a good place for retirement."

Wang Yu smiled bitterly and said, "The Wang family in Taiyuan will not participate in the affairs between the court and the five surnames. After you went down the mountain, I sent the scholars who went home. They are all scholars and young people. They deserve the future they should strive for."

When Shangguan Yi heard that Wang Yu was about to dismiss the scholar, he looked excited and said, "The head of the Wang family is enlightened and admires him."

Wang Yu waved his hand and said, "I have said everything I should say. If you want to know what you want, you will understand after you go down the mountain."

After saying that, Wang Yu sat on the stone chair and closed his eyes, as if he was resting.

Shangguan Yi and Duan Lun walked down Tianlong Mountain together, and Duan Lun recalled Wang Yu's words over and over again along the way.

When he walked to the foot of the mountain, a servant from the Wang family handed over a roll of files.

Duan Lun took the file and opened it to read it, but he saw that the servant was already crying.

Shangguan Yi said in confusion: "Why are you crying?"

As soon as the words finished, a wail came from the mountain.

The two looked back together and looked from the mountain.

The servant who handed Duan Lun the file even more swallowed and said, "The head of the family will not be able to live."

Shangguan Yi shouted, "What do you mean!"

The servant wiped his tears and said, "The five surnames and seven hopes are not enough, and the Wang family in Taiyuan has no choice but to do so. This world has never been decided by the whole family!"

Duan Lun's face changed suddenly, and he tried his best to follow the steps and headed up the mountain.

Running all the way to the top of the mountain and into the courtyard.

All the servants who were originally serving the side knelt on the ground and cried.

Only the head of the Wang family fell on the stone chair.

Shangguan Yi stepped forward and looked into his nose and pulse and said, "The person is gone."

The servant kneeling on the ground said, "Two, please let the Wang family's family members go from now on. The head of the family has left! This is his last wish! The Wang family really has no intention of participating in the battle between the five surnames and the court."

Shangguan Yi said in a trembling tone: "Then you don't have to lose a life!"

"You are not among the five surnames. You don't understand the current situation. The Wang family in Taiyuan is weak and it is no longer the time when the head of the family gave you such an important thing. Even if the head of the family did not accept the poison and committed suicide, the five surnames would not let the head of the family go."

Duan Lun held the file in his hand and took deep breaths to calm his emotions.

I could still talk and laugh half an hour ago, but now I'm leaving.

After staying here for a long time, Duan Lun and Shangguan Yi walked out of the house in dismay.

Sitting on the stone steps, Shangguan Yi said to Duan Lun: "I was confused at first now I finally understand Wang Yu's words."

Duan Lun said: "I know how dark these aristocratic families are, but I didn't expect it to be so. Do you think I should blame myself? Did we force Wang Yu to death?"

Shangguan Yi was quiet for a long time, looked at the sky and said, "Wang Yu asked us how confident we have in the imperial examination in the court. Perhaps he is also hoping that all scholars in the world will have a day to make a comeback."

Duan Lun opened the file in his hand and looked at the accounts and lives.

Shangguan Yi said: "Now, whether it is a mountain of swords or a sea of ​​fire, we have no way out."

Duan Lun stood up and said, "Let's go."

Shangguan Yi was a little surprised, "What are you doing?"

"Why do you still have to send a funeral to Wang Yu? The evidence is in my hands, so I can take someone to handle the case!"

Following Duan Lun down the mountain, Shangguan Yi also turned over and headed towards Taiyuan again.

On the second day after Wang Yu passed away, as Wang Yu said, all the scholars who had always controlled the Wang family were dismissed. Some of these scholars would return to their hometowns to teach, and some would prepare for the imperial examination for the next year.

Duan Lun brought teams of officers and soldiers to a county magistrate's office.

When the county magistrate of the government office saw the officers and soldiers who broke in, he pressed himself to the ground when he arrived.

The county magistrate looked at Duan Lun and said, "Didn't you check it? Why did this official arrest me if he is honest?"

Duan Lun sneered and said, "It's really like it. In May of the third year of Zhenguan, you embezzled thirty-six households and sold them privately to the powerful Wang Xu! But this is the case!"

Hearing this passage, the county magistrate's face turned pale.

Duan Lun said coldly: "If I can tell the days accurately and the fields, you should know what I have in my hands?"

The county magistrate completely lost confidence.

Duan Lun drank: "Take it away!"

A few days later, Taiyuan, which was originally calm, suddenly became messy.

Shangguan Yi and Duan Lun led the officers and soldiers to arrest people everywhere.

Officials in Taiyuan were arrested.

After the head of the Wang family gave his funeral, the news quickly spread throughout Shandong.

This news also reached the ears of other people from the five surnames.

Cui Fu led his men to Taiyuan and came to the Wang family in Taiyuan to mourn.

In the mourning hall, Cui Fu met Duan Lun, "Brother Duan, it's been a long time since I saw you."

Duan Lun also looked at Cui Fu and said, "It's indeed a long time no see."

Looking at the mourning hall, Cui Fu said, "I have been walking around all over the years since I left the five surnames. I didn't expect that the Wang family would have such a situation. His son and daughter are in Chang'an. I think we should know the news soon."

Duan Lun nodded.

Cui Fu said again: "In my impression, Wang Yu is not a bad person. He is very loyal and kind. Some things are like this when he is in a family of five surnames. It is a joke to say that he is so sympathetic. When Wang Yu sends his daughter and son out, he has already used all his strength to save his children to do that."

"I hope his spirit in heaven can rest in peace."

As he was talking, another one walked into the mourning hall. The person who came was Zheng Ju, a five-family surnamed Zheng family.

Zheng Ju, who represented the five surnames, went to negotiate with Li Zheng, but after he came back, Zheng Ju rarely showed up in front of others.

Zheng Ju bowed deeply to the mourning hall and looked at Duan Lun.

Shangguan Yi had seen Zheng Ju in Jingyang, so he naturally recognized him at a glance.

But Zheng Ju just bowed and left without saying anything.

"That person was Zheng Ju just now." Shangguan Yi said to Duan Lun.

"See it." Duan Lun also whispered.

Cui Fu said: "Duan Lun, when the matter in Taiyuan is over, where are you going next?"

"When the matter here is finished, we will go to Zhaojun."

Cui Fu took a deep breath, "Zhao County is the most powerful among the five surnames. You have dealt with the Lu family and the Wang family. Now it should be Zhao County's turn. If you have defeated Zhao County, your trip has been considered successful."

"Hope."

Shangguan Yi said.
