"Father, where are we going? Also, why did you give the order to kill the gatekeeper? If Uncle finds out, will he spare us? "
In the dark night, a group of more than forty people was being led by three men on horseback. They were rushing towards the southwest of Taiyuan City. For the sake of concealment, only a few people at the front of the group were holding torches. The people at the back were following the footsteps of the people in front. At this time, the middle-aged man at the front of the group turned his head and asked the old man beside him.
"If we don't kill the gatekeeper, how will we escape? Right now, our only chance of survival is to escape from the Wang family! "
The old man replied snappily.
The old man was Wang Kui, the one who had killed the gatekeeper and escaped from the Wang family's ancestral home. The two people beside him were Wang Hong and Wang Xinyuan.
When they had fled from the Wang family, they had fled in such a hurry that Wang Kui had not explained anything to Wang Hong, so even now, Wang Hong was still in a state of confusion. He didn't even know why his father wanted to bring him away.
However, the moment Wang Kui gave the order to kill the guards at the Wang family's back door, Wang Hong had already realized that they had caused trouble. In the future, it would be very difficult for them to return to the Wang family!
"Escape? Father, we didn't do anything wrong, so why do we have to escape? "
Wang Hong asked in confusion after hearing Wang Kui's words.
Wang Kui paused for a moment, then sighed deeply. "That's right! We didn't do anything wrong! This old man just wants to take control of the Wang family and restore the Wang family to its former glory as a thousand-year-old clan! "
Wang Hong felt that the first half of this sentence was quite normal, but the second half … When Wang Hong heard this, he was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse.
"What? Father, you want the second branch to take control of the clan? Are you trying to rebel against Uncle and Big Brother? Our second branch hasn't had to worry about food and drink all these years. Why do you want to take control of the clan instead of living a good life? "
Wang Hong was a typical scion of an aristocratic family. He only wanted to live a comfortable life with the Wang family as his backing. With the Wang family as his backing, not only would he not have to worry about food and drink, but he would also be able to do whatever he wanted in Sourcepeak City. As for the position of patriarch and authority in the clan, what did that have to do with him? He had never cared about it!
Of course, as the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father. It was precisely because Wang Kui knew that his son was "unambitious" that Wang Kui did not involve Wang Hong in the matters such as surrendering to the Turks and kidnapping Li Tai, nor did he mention them in front of Wang Hong.
It was no wonder that Wang Hong was so confused!
"Bullshit! Not only are you ignorant and incompetent, you don't even have the slightest bit of ambition! All these years, our second branch has been suppressed by the first branch. Wang Yu and Wang Renbiao have relied on their family's resources to become provincial governors of provinces. They hold high positions and power. Are you willing to submit to others for the rest of your life? "
Wang Kui cursed angrily when he heard Wang Hong's words. He was exasperated that Wang Hong had failed to meet his expectations.
Perhaps he was used to being scolded by his father, Wang Hong subconsciously shrank his neck in fear, but he still couldn't help but whisper, "Submit to others? I'm living a good life in the clan. I don't feel like I'm beneath anyone. "
Wang Kui was old, so his hearing was naturally not as sharp as a young man's. He did not hear Wang Hong's whispers.
As the group continued forward, Wang Hong said, "Then Father, in order to take control of the clan, what have you done recently? Oh, no, what have you done? If we go back now and admit our mistakes, will Uncle and Big Brother forgive us? "
Even though the person in front of him was his own son, Wang Kui still had the urge to beat him to death at this moment. He glared at Wang Hong and said hatefully, "You useless thing, I shouldn't have taken you with me!"
