Gong Siming was furious at first, and after leaving footprints all over his good brother's clothes, he began to listen to what was going on.
The more he listened, the more frightened he became. When someone died in another Gong family residence not long ago, he even exclaimed: "Fengzheng is dead?"
This focus was different from what Gong Siguang expected. He said eagerly: "Second brother, do you still care about that man's life or death? The problem now is that he murdered Governor Zheng's only son and was silenced. This matter is causing trouble.
If it gets serious, our entire Gong clan will be implicated!"
Gong Siming's eyes turned red, and he said angrily: "He is our younger brother, and he is also a talented person in the clan. He hanged himself to death, and you didn't even have the slightest reaction?"
Gong Siguang also got angry and started shouting: "You think they are clansmen, how do they repay you? They are all white-eyed wolves. This is not just causing trouble, it is forcing us to seize our homes and exterminate our clans! He will die.
What kind of reaction do I want? It’s too late for me to be happy!!”
This was the first time that Gong Siming saw his younger brother raising his hand in such a stern tone, but in the end he did not wave it down.
He pressed his forehead in distress: "It doesn't make sense. Why did Feng Zheng want to poison Zheng Wenming? What's the purpose? Could it be that Li Yuanfang designed to deceive you? But it's not right. With his power, he has united with Zheng Rentong. There is no need to do this.
…”
Her mind was in chaos, and it took half the Immortal Queen Gong Siming to calm down and start to analyze: "Let's first assume that Li Yuanfang and Zheng Rentong conspired to seize my Gong family's inheritance! Then they must have met before, and tonight is the first time
The meeting was a disguise, please tell me in detail what happened when Li Yuanfang arrived at the Zheng Mansion."
Gong Siguang said: "It's nothing. I'm just reporting to the servants, Governor Zheng will come forward, and we'll go into the mansion to talk."
Gong Siming's eyes narrowed slightly: "Did Zheng Rentong take the initiative to greet him, or did Li Yuanfang greet him?"
Gong Siguang recalled: "He was standing at Zhumenmen. Li Jiyi took the initiative to walk over."
Gong Siming asked for several more details before slowly saying: "It is in line with Zheng Rentong's character..."
Gong Siguang muttered: "I don't think it's true. Mr. Zheng values reputation so much. If he really wants to set a trap, he won't let his son marry Douzhi's wife!"
Gong Siming was startled, and his eyes dimmed: "I can't see it as clearly as you. Yes, Zheng Rentong will not agree to this matter. It will ruin the family tradition."
After he finished speaking, he was silent for a long time, and his face became increasingly ugly.
It's not that Gong Siming can't tell the truth from falsehood, but he just doesn't want to admit it in his heart, and subconsciously holds a bit of luck.
Now that he was lucky enough to expose it, he had to face the problem within the clan: "If Gong Taoguang really wanted to murder Governor Zheng's only son, why?"
Gong Siguang said firmly: "Anyway, it is a big deal. If it were not a big deal, he would not be silenced. This is obviously a guilty conscience!"
"event……"
Gong Siming pondered for a moment and suddenly said: "Li Yuanfang asked you about the situation of your third brother?"
Gong Suguang nodded: "Yes, he asked who is in charge of the affairs of the branch, and he also knew that the third brother likes to play with instruments of torture."
Gong Siming asked again: "In your opinion, what kind of person is Li Yuanfang?"
Gong Siguang said: "He is kind-hearted, thinks highly of me, and is capable. I admire him very much!"
Listening to his younger brother's tone, Gong Siming closed his eyes: "With great reputation, Wu Xushi, this person is really powerful. If what I expected is correct, he should have already made some assumptions before letting you back.
Otherwise, the soldiers would have surrounded the mansion, what a cruel method!"
Gong Siguang looked puzzled.
Gong Siming said: "Don't you understand? Li Yuanfang wants me, the Gong family, to fight among ourselves, so that we can fight among ourselves!"
Gong Siguang's expression changed: "Second brother means... third brother? He is the main line, how can he get involved with the thieves from the side branch?"
Gong Siming was angry: "What are the side branches of the main line? The main line looks down on the side branches, and the side branches are jealous of the main line. It's precisely because of you that you are so useless!"
"That's all for other times. Now outsiders are eyeing me, the Gong family. At the critical moment, we must be consistent with the outside world, and we must not be taken advantage of by Li Yuanfang!"
"Go and bring the third child here, I believe he understands this!"
Gong Siguang got up obediently and ran out quickly.
But outside the hall, Li Yan's last words before leaving suddenly appeared in his mind.
Be careful about your own safety, thieves will jump over the wall and do anything.
He hesitated for a moment and called his servant: "Go and bring me Cao Shangfei."
The servant quickly brought the red lynx over. Gong Siguang rubbed its head: "You are so energetic on weekdays. At the critical moment, go in and protect your second brother!"
The lynx stared at him blankly with round eyes.
Gong Siguang sighed: "It would be great if you could be as intelligent as Li Yuanfang's cat... Don't worry about whether you understand or not, just go in!"
After sending the lynx into the hall, Gong Siguang asked his servants to look for Gong Siye, while he found a room and watched the movements in the middle hall from a distance.
After waiting, his head hung down.
"Zzz...Zzz..."
…
When Gong Siye walked into the middle hall, the drums in Luoyang City began to sound.
Since Luoyang was designated as the Eastern Capital, the sound of drums has been synchronized with Chang'an, forming a lively movement every morning to welcome the new day's sun.
Gong Siye just came back at this time. He had obviously stayed out all night and hurried into the house after receiving the news.
Gong Siming sat upright, while the lynx lay beside him. His brows could not hide his tiredness, but his eyes were extremely sharp: "Kneel down!"
Gong Siye's face changed slightly, but he knelt down without saying anything.
Gong Siming said word for word: "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Gong Siye shook his head and said: "I don't know what brother is talking about. Last night I..."
"Shut up!!"
Gong Siming interrupted directly: "Do you know that the governor's office has issued an ultimatum to Gong? If we don't give an explanation within three days, Zheng Rentong and Li Yuanfang will take action!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Gong Siye's expression suddenly became gloomy, and he said coldly: "How dare they! I, the Gong family, control Luoyang's water transportation, not only Henan's materials, but also
Even the grain and grass in the pass must be transported by water. Why did the prince bring hundreds of officials to Luoyang? It's not because of the disaster in the pass. They will never dare to act rashly at this time!"
Gong Siming said sadly: "So you admit it? It was you who harmed Fengzheng?"
Gong Siye shut his mouth.
Gong Siming said: "Fengzheng went to poison Zheng Rentong's only son, was it because of your support, and the purpose was to stimulate Zheng Rentong? I asked you before if there was anything wrong with the side branch, and you told me that it was no big deal. Now stop lying and deceiving... tell me.
, why exactly?”
Gong Siye was silent for a moment and then said: "It's military land in Luozhou, and some of it has been occupied by my Gong family's descendants."
Gong Siming's body suddenly shook and hissed: "The military fields in Luozhou are the best fertile fields in Henan Province. Those who can be allocated these fields are all key figures in the army. How dare you invade them? Who are you occupying?
piece?"
Gong Siye said: "The area of Baiqi in Beiya was originally a good deed by Gong Taoguang. He was afraid of being discovered and came to beg me. I had no choice but to help him cover it up. Unexpectedly, someone told Zheng Rentong that he
To investigate this matter in detail, it was Gong Taoguang who proposed the plan to poison Zheng Hui, and I had no choice but to agree..."
Although his younger brother abdicated all responsibility, Gong Siming shook his head after hearing half of it: "Okay, don't make it up any more, you are not that kind of person."
"Lao Wu's disgust for the side branch is shown on his face, but you keep it in your heart. You can still use clever words to win their support."
"Actually, this is enough. Whether it's true or not, as long as we unite, the family can grow stronger and develop. When I, the Gong clan, gain strength, I will help each branch to divide their houses."
"But what you are doing now is to lead the whole family to a dead end. Lao Wu has been naughty since he was a child. He knows what is good and what is bad at critical moments. Why are you not as good as him?"
Gong Siye gritted his teeth and said: "Brother, the matter has come to this, it is useless to say anything sincere or false. We have to find a way to overcome the difficulty."
Gong Siming nodded: "Okay, okay, I want to hear what you are going to do?"
Gong Siye said: "Since Zheng Rentong and Li Yuanfang have identified me as Gong, the conflict is inevitable. Fortunately, I am also prepared."
"Recently, a large number of ships have accumulated at the Beishi Pier. I left them intentionally. The ships transporting grain and grass are all blocked. If they want to kill them all, then we don't have to be polite and set them on fire."
"At that time, after the governor's office has put out the fire, it will have to consider re-delivering food. Wherever we can take care of this, we will have time to destroy all evidence of crime."
"And to make water transportation operational again, we cannot do without the support of my Gong family. At worst, if we donate some money and materials, we will have a chance to survive this disaster safely..."
Hearing this, Gong Siming closed his eyes and became silent.
Seeing that he didn't say a word for a long time, Gong Siye said: "Brother, what do you think?"
Gong Siming finally spoke and said in a trembling voice: "Here comes someone!"
Several sturdy servants walked in from outside the hall, including two dark Kunlun slaves. They all said in Mandarin: "Alang!"
Gong Siming pointed at his younger brother: "Drag him down and lock him up. You guys take turns watching over him and don't allow him to have contact with anyone!"
Gong Siye changed his color: "Brother, how could you do this?"
Gong Siming said in a trembling voice: "You forced me to do so. I must protect the Gong family. Our family's decades-old heritage cannot be destroyed in the hands of a thief like you!"
Gong Siye's face became ferocious: "Brother, you call me a thief? You are doing it for this family, and I am doing it for this family!"
Gong Siming had no strength anymore and waved his hand to indicate to the servants to take him down.
But at this moment, the lynx next to him suddenly opened his eyes and bared his teeth in a warning.
late.
A figure suddenly flashed in and came behind Gong Siye who was suppressed by the servant, and a bright light flashed in his hand.
Several servants of the Gong Mansion had their throats cut before they could even scream.
The strong Kunlun slave reacted relatively quickly, but he did not protect his master and ran away in a hurry.
Then a disgusted voice was heard: "Ghost-like monster!"
There was a flash of light, and they had just run a few steps, and their bodies were covered with bloodstains. They fell limply, their throats were cut, and they whimpered in extreme fear, and then gradually became silent.
Seeing the carefully selected servants in the house being brutally killed in this way, Gong Siming felt chills all over his body: "Who are you?"
The attacker was wearing a wide-brimmed hat, with a long veil hanging from the brim, covering his entire body.
It can only be seen that he is of medium height, neither tall nor short. He is holding a long knife in his hand. The tip of the knife is drooping and dripping with blood. His voice is cold: "You don't need to know who I am, as long as you know that I am helping your brother."
!”
Gong Siming looked at his younger brother who was standing up, and said sadly: "It seems that you have been prepared!"
Gong Siye whispered: "Brother, please forgive me, I have no way of turning back... How dare you, beast!"
But the lynx pounced over, very fast, and bit it with its mouth open.
However, the man in black handed the knife forward and cut off the lynx's claws: "Hey! It's quite fierce!"
With a flash of sword light, the lynx's body was lifted up and thrown out violently.
Seeing the fifth brother's most precious lynx break open the window and fall into the yard, Gong Siye was also startled and said in a deep voice: "Okay, don't hurt my brother!"
The man in black sneered: "If you touch a woman's kindness now, if something happens, I'm afraid you will regret it!"
Gong Siye said: "This is not a woman's kindness. The Gong family is headed by my brother. I can't replace him yet. You have touched him now and you will regret it!"
The man in black snorted, flashed, and disappeared.
Gong Siye pursed his lips, tied Gong Siming with a rope, and stuffed the cloth: "Brother, I'm sorry!"
Gong Siming whined and wanted to say something, but he could only watch as his always obedient brother tied himself up and walked out.
At the same time, Gong Siguang looked at his lynx with his own eyes, struggled for a moment, and stopped moving.
He immediately wanted to rush over, but thinking of his second brother's life and the lives of the entire clan, he stopped abruptly and trembled all over.
Finally, Gong Siguang covered his mouth, turned around, and walked quickly towards the backyard.
The mansion has been mobilized, and Gong Siye's voice can be heard giving orders in the distance.
At first, his steps were normal, he could barely maintain his composure, and his servants did not dare to disturb him.
When he got out of the yard, he ran all the way.
When he arrived at the back door of Zheng Mansion, Gong Siguang burst into tears and beat them desperately:
"Li Jiyi! Li Jiyi! They imprisoned the second brother and killed my Cao Shangfei! My Cao Shangfei!!"
