The meeting in Xiangyang ended very quickly. Kuai Yue and the others naturally left together with a smile on their faces. Cai Mao was unhappy, but there was nothing he could do. Only one person had a bad expression on his face. He was very lonely.
This person was Pang Shanmin, who had turned the situation around. Pang Shanmin got into his carriage and returned to the Pang Residence.
"Young Master!" The housekeeper hurried forward to welcome Pang Shanmin down.
"Father, you're back!" Pang Shanmin got down from the carriage. He didn't smile like a gentleman and went straight to the point.
"Old Master is back. He's waiting for you in the study!" The housekeeper bowed and replied.
"Mm!" Pang Shanmin replied and went straight to the study.
Looking at Pang Shanmin's departing figure, the Pang family members were all confused. How did the once modest young master become like this? The steward shook his head, this wasn't something he needed to think about. He ordered the coachman to pull the carriage to the horse roc.
In the study, Pang Degong was holding a book in his hand. Although he was reading, his heart wasn't in it.
Pang Degong admired calmly and wholeheartedly. But today, it was obvious that Pang Degong couldn't calm down.
"Da da da!" The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer to the study. The hurried sound of footsteps made Pang Degong frown.
"Ka ka ka!" The door to the study was pushed open without knocking.
"You're back!" Pang Degong didn't turn around. His eyes were still on the book and his tone was as calm as possible.
"Father!" Pang Shanmin closed the door and walked in front of Pang Degong.
"You know about it?!" Pang Degong suddenly asked. He put down the book and looked at Pang Shanmin. He hoped to see confusion on Pang Shanmin's face, but he was clearly disappointed.
Pang Shanmin stared at his aged father. "Why didn't you tell me?!"
Tell you? Pang Degong laughed bitterly in his heart. How could he tell you? One of them was his biological son, while the other was the only nephew left behind by his deceased brother. Pang Degong didn't want to hurt either of them.
What could he do even if he knew? He couldn't tell them the truth and let them both suffer.
"Sigh!" Pang Degong put down his book and stood up. Because of this, his aged body became even more weathered.
"Give me your hand!" Pang Degong looked at his son and said.
"Huh?!" Pang Shanmin was stunned for a moment, but he still listened to his father and stretched out his arm.
Pang Degong took out a small knife in his hand. The blade was very sharp.
Pang Shanmin looked at the cold sword hilt and subconsciously wanted to pull it back. However, he remembered that this was his father. How could he harm him? He calmly extended his arm.
"Si!" All of a sudden, Pang Shanmin's face revealed a pained expression. He stared at his father with wide eyes. It turned out that the sharp dagger in his father's hand had already cut Pang Shanmin's hand. The dagger was very sharp. With just a light cut, it immediately opened a wound. Blood flowed out from the wound. The hand could be considered the most flexible part of the human body. There were also many pain receptors on the hand. A concentrated pain came from the hand.
"Turn your hand back!" Pang Degong seemed to have not cut enough. He coldly said to his son. Pang Shanmin obeyed his father's order. There was also a cut on the back of his hand. Even the blue veins could be seen.
Pang Shanmin's arm was quickly dyed red with blood.
"Does it hurt?!" Pang Degong looked at his son and asked.
"It hurts!" "Focus on the pain. Although it's not life-threatening, the blood flowing and the trembling of the arm is very painful."
"Do you understand now?" Pang Degong put down the dagger and looked at the bloody wound on his son's hand. He hurriedly took out a box from the side. Inside the box was the best wound medicine and a piece of white cloth.
The pain was on the son's body, but the pain was in the father's heart. Pang Shanmin was hurt on the skin, but Pang Degong was hurt in the heart.
"The palm and the back of the hand are both skin and flesh! Hurting any one of them is extremely painful! You and Yu Shiyuan are like the palm and the back of the hand to me. I watched the two of you grow up. I did not expect the two of you to end up like this. I could only try my best to stall for time and hide the truth. Who knew that you would understand in the end! " Pang Degong's face was full of vicissitudes of life. Pang Shiyuan did not do a good job at Luokou. He did kill Tang Yun and the boatman, but he did not completely destroy the traces. The boatman's family had reported it to the authorities. When they left, some of the boatman's colleagues also saw Tang Yun leaving. If Tang Yun died in Xinye and was killed by Liu Mang's army, then why did the boatman die too?! There were no pirates in the Jing Xiang area. As long as they followed the clues, they would be able to find the truth. After Pang Degong helped Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan clean up the mess, he gave the deceased boatman's family a lot of gold and silver. They did not have to worry about food and security. He also got the local authorities to eliminate the case so that Pang Shiyuan's plan seemed to be intact.
Who knew that Pang Shanmin would find out about it?
"Father, Brother Tang Yun!" Pang Shanmin gritted his teeth. He did not know what to say. Tang Yun was his close friend. The two of them could live and die together. If Tang Yun died at the hands of the King Of Shu, Liu Mang, then even if Pang Shanmin had to die, he would avenge Tang Yun. What he did not expect was that the one who killed Tang Yun was his own brother, his closest relative. Pang Shanmin clenched his fist, ignoring the wound on his hand. The wound that he had just bandaged split open again and blood stained the white cloth red.
"Plop!" Pang Shanmin was filled with regret. Suddenly, his vision blurred. Pang Shanmin widened his eyes in disbelief at the scene before him.
"Father, why are you doing this?!" Pang Shanmin did not dare to do as he was told. Pang Degong suddenly knelt in front of him. This was his father, Heaven, Earth, King, Family, and Master. Pang Shanmin was a modest gentleman. These things had long been engraved in his mind.
Pang Shanmin also knelt down in front of his father.
"Shanmin! I have never begged anyone in my life! But I have broken my vow. Shiyuan is young and does not know the depth of time. He is greedy and wants to win. This is all my fault as his uncle! " Pang Degong was very sad. He only cared about teaching Pang Shiyuan military strategy, but forgot to teach Pang Shiyuan moral conduct, which led to the current situation.
Brothers killing each other. This was the scene that Pang Degong did not want to see the most. He still remembered that when his younger brother passed away, he held his arm tightly and asked him to take care of Pang Shiyuan and Ah Chou.
But now, Pang Degong was filled with regret! ‘
"Shanmin, I beg you. Let Shiyuan go!" Pang Degong bowed deeply to his son.
Pang Degong was clearer than anyone else about the position his son held in his heart. It was hard to find a confidant in life. He would not hesitate to go through water and tread on fire. If Pang Degong did not stop him, then the next scene would be brothers killing each other.
Pang Shanmin was not Pang Shiyuan's match! Regardless of whether Pang Shiyuan died or Pang Shanmin died, Pang Degong did not want to see this.
So he could only beg, beg his son to let go of this hatred.
"Father!" Pang Shanmin bit his lips. He was struggling in his heart. Pang Shiyuan was the murderer of Tang Yun's death! All of this made Pang Shanmin's heart very tired. Now, his father was begging for mercy.
"Father, I promise you!" Pang Shanmin gave in. The worry on his aged father's face was for the sake of the Pang family and his son.
"Shanmin!" Pang Degong's face showed a trace of joy.
"Father, the Pang family's Shanmin, from today onwards, severs all ties with the Pang family's Pang Tong, Pang Shiyuan. Pang Shanmin could not go against his father's request, but at the same time, he could not let go of the hatred in his heart. Tang Yun's death was a mistake he would never forgive in his life. Because Pang Shanmin was the one who leaked Tang Yun's whereabouts, he was half responsible.
So from today onwards, Pang Shanmin was Pang Shanmin and Pang Tong was Pang Tong! From today onwards, they would not have any relations!
"Shanmin, you!" Pang Degong still wanted to get Shanmin back.
'Father, I'm tired! I want to go back and rest! "Pang Shanmin's entire temperament changed.
Great illness led to great change. Great change led to great change!
Pang Shanmin's voice was heard as he left. Only the sigh of an old father was left in the study! The Pang family, the Pang family of Jing Province, was disbanded!
