Jingzhou. Jiangling.
On the same day.
County Magistrate Wu Wenxuan also received a letter from Chang 'an.
After all, to be able to become an official in a large county like Jiangling, one had to have a backer in the imperial court.
Moreover, Wu Wenxuan was still so young. His future career would definitely be extraordinary. For this reason, there were not many big shots who were willing to "invest" in him, but there were definitely many.
In the backyard of the county office.
County Magistrate Wu and his clan brother sat in a pavilion.
"Second Brother, Chang 'an has sent a letter. Your son-in-law has done something earth-shattering.”
Hearing this, his second brother, Wu Wenyan, asked in puzzlement,"What did Chen An do?"
"He used the monarch and his subjects as a plot to ask the emperor for the position of Prime Minister.”
"What?"
Wu Wenyan was shocked and stood up abruptly.
His entire body was trembling.
"Third Brother, this, this…"
County Magistrate Wu smiled and said,""Second brother, don't worry. There's even more terrifying news. What was even more terrifying was that he had actually done it. He had really been conferred the title of Prime Minister by the Emperor.”
Hiss!
At this moment, Wu Wenyan was so frightened that he sucked in a breath of cold air and suddenly took half a step back.
"Third brother, isn't this the path to death? Ever since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has never been a Prime Minister. A young child suddenly ascending to a high position, he probably wouldn't have long to live!”
"Second Brother, don't panic. This position of Prime Minister has no real power, it's just an empty title.”
County Magistrate Wu hurriedly explained, afraid that he would scare his clan brother.
However…at
this moment, Wu Wenyan was already panic-stricken.
"Even if the Prime Minister is just an empty title, wouldn't he still die if he deceived the Emperor and all the civil and military officials?”
County Magistrate Wu nodded.”
"Perhaps? Third brother, what do you mean? Is Chen An still not going to die?"
"Yes, perhaps your son-in-law might not die. He is the smartest child I have ever seen. No one in the world can compare to him. Since ancient times, only Saints could be compared to him.”
County Magistrate Wu had spent the longest time with that child.
Therefore, even when he received this terrifying news, he was still full of confidence in the child.
He firmly believed that
there was a deeper meaning behind this child's actions.
However…
"No, third brother! This child is already not far from death. I can't push Qing 'er into the fire pit and become a widow.”Wu Wenyan said seriously. Then, he took a deep breath and made a decision.”
As soon as he said that, County Magistrate Wu suddenly stood up and shouted,""Impossible, I don't agree!"
"Third brother, I'm Qing 'er's biological father!”Wu Wenyan shouted angrily.
"Father?"
At this moment, County Magistrate Wu sneered and said sternly,""Second brother, I am the next clan leader of the Wu clan. I have the final say in everything that happens in the Wu family!"
"You, you..."
Wu Wenyan raised his head and pointed angrily at his younger brother. His eyes seemed to be spewing fire.
If looks could kill, County Magistrate Wu would have been pierced through by thousands of arrows.
Unfortunately, looks couldn't kill.
Power and strict clan rules could suppress everything.
"Second brother, I dare to give it a try. Could it be that your Qing 'er's marriage is more precious than my career prospects?”
County Magistrate Wu's question made Wu Wenyan fall silent.
In the entire Wu Clan, only his third brother was an official, and he was already the Jiangling County Magistrate at such a young age.
If there were no accidents, he would definitely be promoted to a state official within ten years.
Within twenty years, he could enter Chang 'an.
Because of this, even if his third brother was only the next clan leader, even if he was younger than him, he still had the final say in the entire Wu clan.
Even if he wrote a letter back to the clan, it would not change this decision.
This was because the current clan leader also listened to his third brother.
Hatred!
How hateful!
"Why? Why? Third brother, you have such a bright future ahead of you, why don't you take it one step at a time? Why do we have to gamble with our lives? You must know that if the Wu family doesn't break off the engagement, if the emperor implicates the three families, our entire Wu family will also be executed!”
In ancient times, there were three clans, namely, the father clan, the mother clan, and the son clan.
"Why? Haha!"
County Magistrate Wu laughed and said,""Because I believe in him! Twenty years was too long. I, Wu Wenxuan, am full of talent. Why should I wait for twenty years?”
"Haha!"
With this laughter, County Magistrate Wu walked out of the pavilion and left.
Laughter echoed in the backyard for a long time.
Somehow, his laughter seemed to contain his endless 'ambition'.
"Crazy, crazy! His third brother had gone crazy! No, I have to leave with Qing-er. I have to leave immediately.”
Wu Wenyan was extremely frightened. He immediately left the pavilion and went to the backyard to find his daughter. Then, he carried her and hurriedly ran out.
Suddenly!
Just as Wu Wenyan and his father were about to leave the backyard, two bailiffs with sabers stopped them.
"Second Young Master, please take the Young Lady back. The county magistrate had said that bandits had appeared in Jiangling County, and the second young master was not allowed to leave the county office during this period of time.”
What was that?
How dare he imprison his brother and niece?
Wu Wenyan was shocked.
"Move aside! Let me out!"
"I'm sorry, Second Young Master. Please don't make things difficult for me. The county magistrate personally instructed that if the second young master insisted on leaving, please put Miss Qing 'er down, or else
…"
The two bailiffs shouted loudly and pressed down on the hilt of their knives.
His killing intent was extremely cold.
Seeing such a situation, Wu Wen Yan believed it, he truly believed it.
These two were probably the trusted men of sacrifice trained by his third brother. They really dared to kill anyone.
"What a terrifying Jiangling County Magistrate. What a terrifying little brother. He's just a civil official, yet he dares to nurture death warriors.”
At this moment.
Wu Wenyan seemed to have gotten to know his biological brother from the same father and mother again.
At this moment.
Wu Wenyan seemed to see a bloody storm that was about to engulf the entire Wu family.
Hatred!
He hated himself for being born into the Wu family, hated himself for bringing his daughter to Jiangling.
Unfortunately, no matter how much regret he felt, it was useless now.
The huge backyard of the county government was like a prison that imprisoned the father and daughter deeply.
It was difficult to fly even if they had wings!
...
County Court.
County Magistrate Wu's expression was solemn as he began to write a letter.
A moment later, the letter was written.
"Men!"
Hearing the shout, the scribe hurriedly ran over.
"Magistrate, please instruct me.”
"Quickly send a messenger to Chang 'an overnight to deliver this letter to Chen Manor. Remember to hand it over to Miss Chen personally."
"Understood!"
The scribe took the letter and turned to leave.
Seeing the other party leave, a cold smile appeared on County Magistrate Wu's face.
This year's Spring Festival.
He needed to go to the Ministry of Personnel to report on his work, so he could take this opportunity to bring his niece to Chang 'an. At that time, our Wu clan will be engaged to the Chen clan in front of everyone in Chang 'an.
At that time, the whole world would know that Chen An was the son-in-law of the Wu family.
Whether it was a blessing or a curse, it would be decided this time.
If he succeeded, he would obtain a great fortune.
Defeat…
haha, then there was no need to say.
"Chen An, Chen An! Don't disappoint me. I, Wu, am betting on the life of my clan!”
At
this moment, no one knew what would happen next. Even the confident County Magistrate Wu himself did not know.
After all, the world was unpredictable.
However…
thousands of years later.
When the people of the later generations flipped through the history of the Wu clan, they would always shout,
"What a bold spirit!】
