Outside Gong Mansion, elite soldiers surrounded every corner.
In the Gong Mansion, Gong Siye's self-confidence had just been trampled and trampled on in turns by his brother and the man in black.
"It's not good! It's not good! Governor Zheng personally led the crowd to surround the house!"
And soon, the servant's frightened report made the three of them change their expressions.
Not to mention the Gong brothers, even the man in black lowered the brim of his hat, showing a trace of nervousness.
Gong Siye felt unbelievable: "Why did that old man surround my house in broad daylight? He is the governor of Luozhou, and he is not a stayer in Luoyang. Who gave him the power?"
"When you poisoned Zheng Rentong's only son, you should have thought of such a counterattack!"
Gong Siming closed his eyes, but he was the least surprised.
He thought about it, then turned to look at the man in black: "Your Excellency, please take my third brother away. There is a secret passage in my backyard!"
The man in black swung his sword: "I want to leave, why do I need a secret passage?"
Gong Siming said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency is highly skilled in martial arts, but it is difficult for you to beat four hands with two fists. Facing elite soldiers and attacking powerful crossbows, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes. This secret road leads to Luohe. After you get out, you can directly
Leave by boat and stay safe.”
The man in black was silent for a moment and sneered: "Aren't you afraid that I will use the secret passage in your house to leave and then kill this ambitious waste?"
Gong Siming sighed: "Of course I'm afraid, but if he leaves with you, he will at least have a glimmer of hope. If he stays behind, he will definitely die..."
He bowed slowly and said, "I hope you will take this opportunity to save my brother's life, escape from Luoyang, leave far away, and never come back again!"
The man in black stared at him, his eyes fluctuating, and nodded: "Okay! I will save his life!"
But at this moment, Gong Siye, who was next to him, struggled to get up and hissed: "I don't want you to pity me. I am a winner and a loser. It's just a death. What's the big deal!"
“Bang!!”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud noise from the backyard, followed by fighting and screaming, and a familiar roar: "Put down the bow and arrow, don't resist! Don't resist!"
Gong Siming recognized the voice of his fifth brother Gong Siguang, and was not surprised but happy.
If Zheng Rentong breaks in, I don't know what kind of disaster Gong Mansion will suffer.
Swords and arrows have no eyes, and with hatred and bloodshed, anyone can be killed.
But now that Yumitsugu is here, he can at least keep his family safe to a certain extent.
Of course, this would also cause the soldiers to march straight in without encountering much decent resistance. He immediately started running: "Follow me quickly!"
The man in black followed him without saying a word. Gong Siye was startled, and when he saw that the two of them were about to disappear, he subconsciously chased after him.
Arriving in front of the rockery behind the central hall, after Gong Siming's operation, the rockery slowly opened up and opened a secret entrance: "Go!"
Gong Siye looked at the only way to survive, and no longer talked about death, he whispered: "Second brother, you let me go, what will you do?"
Gong Siming's eyes darkened for a moment, but his face remained calm: "My clan will clear up the situation. The Guanzhong clan has received so many benefits over the years, and they will say a few words for me. I should be able to save my life and be sentenced to exile."
crime……"
Gong Siye's eyes turned red: "Second brother...I...I shouldn't have treated you like that!"
Gong Siming said in a deep voice: "Elder brother is like father, third brother, please listen to my last advice."
"You used to be smart, but not very wise. You only wanted so much, and that's why you ended up in this situation!"
"I hope you can change something after this incident... Let's go, as long as people are alive, there is hope!"
At this point, the man in black had already bent down and got in. Gong Siye hesitated a little, sighed, and followed in.
Gong Siming watched the rockery close up again and quickly returned to the hall.
The noisy sound kept approaching. He searched for a moment, took out a packet of powder, and poured it into the wine flask.
Looking at the glass of wine, Gong Siming's hands trembled, showing fear, then he spread out the paper and started writing the list.
Until the footsteps outside approached, he finally raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp.
Soon, Gong Siguang rushed in and saw him sitting upright. He was overjoyed: "Second brother, it's great that you're okay!"
Gong Siming nodded and said happily: "Fifth brother, thanks to you this time."
Gong Siguang chuckled and touched his head: "I thought the second brother would scold me for helping outsiders..."
Gong Siming immediately shook his head: "To protect the canal transport, how can it be that you are favoring outsiders? Only by maintaining the overall situation can the family survive. You have no cleverness, but you have great wisdom."
Gong Siguang groaned: "Then...that..."
Gong Siming said directly: "You want to ask about the whereabouts of your third brother?"
Gong Siguang fell silent, and after a while he sighed: "This time the fuss was too big. I just found out that he connived with the tribesmen to invade Beiya Baiqi's fields. The evidence is conclusive. Now Li Jiyi and Zheng Governor
We have to catch him... all we can do is take care of things afterwards and try to save his life!"
"No wonder Zheng Rentong dared to directly lead his troops to surround my residence. I thought that in order to avenge his only son, he would rather not be the governor, but I didn't expect that there was even evidence!"
After Gong Siming suddenly realized, he was overjoyed: "Fortunately, the third brother did not do something stupid like burning down the dock. I know that his ideas, which only focus on the best situation, are completely unrealistic..."
Gong Siguang said anxiously: "Second brother, stop commenting on third brother's affairs. Find the person first!"
"If you can't find him, I will let him go myself..."
Gong Siming stopped his younger brother who was about to get up after changing his color: "Don't chase! Listen to me first. I don't have much time. I have just taken a poison..."
Gong Siguang was suddenly startled, then rushed over and slapped him with his palm.
Gong Siming was hit by him and fell to the ground. He almost couldn't hold his breath and said, "Cough, cough, cough! What are you doing?"
"Inducing vomiting! This is how Li Jiyi saved Zheng Wenming... Someone come! Someone come!"
Gong Siguang shouted outward and said sadly: "Second brother! Why did you take poison? Why did our Gong family become like this in just a few days?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Gong Siming said intermittently: "Your third brother is greedy for profit, and his side branch invades military fields. This is a capital crime... But I think the thieves behind him have greater intentions.
, these things can’t be hidden... it’s better to reveal them now than to have them all slaughtered by me, the Gong clan, in the future..."
Gong Suguang cried and said: "Then these are the things that third brother did. Second brother, why do you want to take poison again?"
Gong Siming finally regained his breath, touched his face, and said with a chuckle: "The eldest brother died young, and I am the elder brother. The elder brother is like a father. If I don't bear the burden for you, who can?"
Gong Siguang burst into tears when he thought about how he tolerated his playboy behavior many times.
Gong Siming's eyes turned to the Gong clan members who rushed in one after another. He sat up again and said seriously: "I am not blindly shielding Sanlang. I am also thinking about you."
"The benefits of water transportation are huge, and countless people are watching. If I, the Gong family, had not firmly supported the saints in building the Eastern Capital in the early years, we would not have the foundation we have now."
"Now that the saint's dragon body is ill, even if the saint is healthy, he will never tolerate such a thing. The grace of our family in the past is gone."
"In this case, if I die to atone for my sins, the family can still be saved. If I live shamelessly, it will be difficult for the Gong family to return to Bianzhou."
The Gong clan members who rushed into the hall all looked sad, but they saw Gong Siming pointing at the list he had just written and ordering the steward: "The one who hates my Gong clan the most right now is Governor Zheng. Please hand over this list."
give him."
"The people above are full of evil-minded people. When I was here, they were able to suppress them. But when I'm gone, they will be a disaster!"
"Give it to Governor Zheng and let him relieve... um... relieve his hatred..."
At this point, Gong Siming felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and he couldn't help but tremble in pain.
But he maintained his tone forcibly, but began to speak faster: "Wu Lang, when handing over the water transport, you must remember one thing. On the premise of ensuring that the water transport is not chaotic, delay it appropriately and try to wait for our clan
The industries were withdrawn to Bianzhou."
"The foundation of our clan is not stable, and we have accumulated a lot of wealth over the years. It will definitely be difficult to keep all of it, but we must not let others rob it!"
"Otherwise, my Gong family's back will be broken. At that time, anyone can pounce on us and bite us. Even if we return to Bianzhou, it will be difficult to survive."
At this point, blood gushed out from the corner of Gong Siming's mouth, and his vision turned black: "Li Yuanfang is willing to let you come, which means he is not someone who wants to burn bridges when crossing rivers..."
"You protect the water transport terminal, and he will ask you to protect the Gong family. It's really rare to be able to do this..."
"If you can follow him, follow him. If something goes wrong, return to Bianzhou in time..."
"Don't believe other people's promises, especially the high-ranking nobles. Once I fall into their trap, I, the Gong clan, will be swallowed up to the point where no bones are left..."
"I won't say anything more. Just follow your temper. Don't imitate me. If you can't learn it, there's no need..."
Gong Suguang burst into tears and nodded desperately: "Second brother, I have remembered everything. Stop talking. Doctor Chen will be here soon. Just hold on!!"
Gong Siming smiled at him, and the moment before he lost his vision, he reached out with trembling hands, patted his clothes, and carefully wiped away the footprints he had kicked in the past two days: "My home... my home will be left to... Jiao
I gave it to you..."
Finally, he closed his tired eyes, fell limply into Gong Siguang's arms, and stopped breathing.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!"
Hearing the deafening screams of grief coming from inside, Zheng Rentong outside the house also bowed silently.
Then after turning around, his expression surged with severity: "Find Gong Siye, the thief, and we will kill him or not!!"
…
at the same time.
The man in black and Gong Siye, who quickly passed through the secret passage, had already boarded the boat.
Luoyang's waterways extend in all directions, which makes it convenient for these small boats to travel. However, it also has a drawback. It is impossible to dig tunnels long.
Therefore, the two of them just stayed away from Gong Mansion, but they failed to leave Guangdaofang immediately.
Gong Siye was in a daze, still in a daze, when the man in black suddenly raised his head: "Eagle?"
After the words fell, the man in black touched from his waist and took out an exquisite long bow, with arrows placed on the bowstring.
He can use his bow to shoot the wolf, and fly through the sky with one arrow.
At the critical moment, the eagle's flight changed direction in an incredible way, and it narrowly avoided the arrow.
It also passed by the air wave that was slanting upward and leaving a clear trajectory.
The eagle soared into the sky, its cry filled with fear, but it still hovered in the sky.
If it hadn't been for the intensive training in the past few days, it would really have been struck by this arrow.
The man in black was extremely angry: "Damn it, how can a mere eagle avoid my arrows?"
Gong Siye woke up from a dream. Thinking of what he had learned in the past few days, he exclaimed: "That's Li Yuanfang's eagle! Oh no, he's coming after me!"
The man in black turned around and said coldly: "I'm not chasing you, I'm already catching up!"
Gong Siye followed his gaze and saw a heroic-looking man on the shore, riding a mighty horse with a fluffy mane, looking at him coldly.
