Ouyang Zong took Qin Yu and talked for a long time.
It's almost time.
The two of them just came out of the house.
The sadness on Ouyang Zong's face has disappeared, and he feels a little more relaxed than he has in the past two years.
No one could have imagined it.
Qin Yu asked Ouyang Zong to ask the Emperor of Wei for a three-foot white silk and hang himself from a beam, but it made him feel more relaxed and even regarded Qin Yu as a good friend.
"Qin Yu, after talking to you today, I feel suddenly enlightened. The Ouyang clan is in your hands. Even if I die, I can rest in peace..."
Ouyang Zong sent Qin Yu out of the palace, walking like a tiger and a dragon, without any sign of asking for death from Emperor Wei tomorrow.
Perhaps for Ouyang Zong, watching the Ouyang clan decay and move towards the abyss step by step is the greatest suffering.
Death can free everything, allow the Ouyang clan to be saved, and retain the clean fire.
"Lord Ouyang Zong, it will be a good thing for the Ouyang clan and the court if you can think clearly about this matter and take the initiative to obey the law."
"I will honor my commitments both in public and private matters."
Qin Yu frowned slightly, and although his heart was relaxed, it was also heavy.
But there is no way, right is right, wrong is wrong, everyone has to pay the price for what they have done.
Shen Binglan followed Qin Yu with shock on her face.
She really didn't expect that Qin Yu would convince Ouyang Zong to this extent.
It was clearly Qin Yu who wanted Ouyang Zong to surrender and die.
It was Qin Yu who clearly wanted to make the Ouyang clan pay the price and arrest all those who committed crimes.
But Ouyang Zong, the prime minister of the court who was known for his fiery temper, respected Qin Yu very much and wanted to hand over the Ouyang clan to Qin Yu.
Shen Binglan really couldn't figure out what Qin Yu said to Ouyang Zong.
But those people in the mansion who were holding weapons still stared at Qin Yu fiercely.
moment.
Qin Yu and Shen Binglan were sent out of the house by Ouyang Zong personally and got on the carriage.
Ouyang Zong looked at the carriage going further and further away, then turned around and returned to his mansion.
He had just entered the house.
The third son Ouyang Nanlin and the fifth son Ouyang Nanyuan gathered around.
Ouyang Zong only had these two sons left, and the other three sons had all died in the war.
"Dad! Didn't you say you wanted to kill that despicable guy Qin Yu?! Why did you let him go again today!"
"Yes, Dad! Do you want to watch Qin Yu, son, destroy our Ouyang clan?!"
Ouyang Nanlin and Ouyang Nanyuan had scarlet eyes and were filled with indignation.
Ouyang Zong lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Follow me."
The two of them looked at each other and then followed Ouyang Zong towards the backyard.
Ouyang Zong led the two people to the ancestral hall in the backyard and said seriously: "Kneel down!"
"father!"
"Dad, what are you doing?!"
Ouyang Nanlin and Ouyang Nanyuan looked at Ouyang Zong with confused expressions.
Ouyang Zong lowered his eyes and said, "Kneel down!!!"
Ouyang Zong was angry when he saw him.
Ouyang Nanlin and Ouyang Nanyuan had no choice but to kneel down.
Ouyang Zong raised his head and looked at the spiritual tablets of his ancestors, and said slowly: "Today, my father asked you two to swear an oath in front of the ancestral tablets. From now on, you must take care of the remaining members of the Ouyang clan and follow Qin Yu's arrangements. No one from the clan should be allowed to leave." Seeking revenge from him includes both of you."
The words fell into place.
Ouyang Nanlin and Ouyang Nanyuan's brains roared like a bolt from the blue.
They are not fools.
As soon as Ouyang Zong opened his mouth, they understood what he meant.
Ouyang Zong compromised with Qin Yu and wanted to surrender to the court.
"Dad! You can't, Dad! Let's just leave. The world is so big, can't we escape the imperial court's arrest?"
"Yes, Dad! You can't be confused! Qin Yu is a shameless villain. You must not listen to his slander, Dad!"
The two of them burst into tears instantly, shouting at the top of their lungs.
"run?"
Ouyang Zong couldn't help but sneer, and sat on the ground, looking at the memorial tablet of his ancestor, "Where are we going? Where are the more than a thousand members of the Ouyang clan going? I don't care about my life or death for a long time."
"Actually, even without Qin Yu, my head would have been lost sooner or later, and the Ouyang clan would have been investigated sooner or later. We helped the Ouyang clan overthrow the powerful landlords, but we made them become even more vicious landlords."
"That means that the Ouyang clan will be overthrown sooner or later. Qin Yu is right. If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price, and you have the courage to bear the price."
"I really regret it. I regret that I opened the door to the people of the tribe to bend the law for personal gain, but now it is out of control. My indulgence has harmed them. This is the sin of my Ouyang clan."
"But I still have selfish motives, because I know that sooner or later I will be arrested, so I don't let you two be officials or participate in anything in the family, just to keep you innocent and leave a trace.
A way to survive.”
"Facts have proved that my idea was right, but I really deserve to die. I'm sorry for the people of Yuanzhou, the people of Ouyang, and even more sorry for the trust and cultivation your Majesty has placed in me!"
"Children, let dad go. Dad is tired. Dad is really tired. Dad doesn't want to live with such sins anymore. Every day I live now is torture. I am a sinner of the Ouyang clan...
..”
Ouyang Zong said, tears streaming down his face.
When things have reached this point, there is no room for recovery.
Ouyang Zong also accepted his fate.
"father!"
"Dad!"
Ouyang Nanlin and Ouyang Nanyuan hugged Ouyang Zong and cried bitterly.
The two of them cried heartbrokenly, and finally understood the reason why their father, who was the prime minister of the imperial court, prevented the two of them from getting involved in officialdom when he was at the height of his power.
a long time.
Ouyang Nanlin and Ouyang Nanyuan knelt on the ground again, "By heaven and earth, ghosts and gods, if I take revenge on Qin Yu, I will die young and have no peace in my life. After death, I will enter the eighteenth level of hell and suffer all kinds of pain."
Torture, misery in the next life, evil father and mother..."
The two of them swore a poisonous oath that was neither serious nor unhateful.
Ouyang Zong was determined to eliminate the cancer in the Ouyang clan this time.
Therefore, he will never allow his clansmen to do stupid things again.
Ouyang Zong looked at the two of them and spoke slowly, "Tomorrow, dad will go to the palace to surrender. Those in the clan who triggered the law will also be punished. This is what dad and they deserve."
"Tomorrow, you two go back to Yuanzhou with your father's body. Qin Yu will arrange everything for the Ouyang clan. You must lead the clan to live a good life and make a living by your own efforts. Never get something for nothing again."
"From now on, people from the Ouyang clan can still study, practice martial arts, serve as officials in the court, and serve as generals in the army. Everything depends on their own destiny."
Ouyang Nanlin and Ouyang Nanyuan had already burst into tears and kowtowed to Ouyang Zong, "Dad, I know..."
