Wu Sanlang used to be the second most ambitious young man in the Wu family. He was only eighteen years old, but he had already become a juren. However, his ranking in the exam was not very good, almost at the bottom, so he had no plans to take the exam this year.
The Wu family had a bad reputation, and the original intention was to let him calm down and study for six more years. After six years, Jiang Dingcheng's affairs would have been forgotten, and it was even possible that the current situation in the dynasty would be completely different. By then, if the Wu family was still prosperous, he could win one of the top three spots in one fell swoop, which would be icing on the cake and wash away the current shame.
I never thought that Wu Sanlang would lose his fame and fortune just by staying at home!
Not only that, it also implicated other young men from the Wu family who were studying!
Even the incident of Jiang Dingcheng only made the officials of the Wu family more cautious. It had little impact on the children of the Wu family. After all, the Wu family had the Queen and Prince Rui behind them. They were only gossiped about on the moral level. On the surface, the Wu family was still surrounded by many people who tried to curry their favor.
But this time it was different.
Not only did Wu Sanlang himself lose his fame and reputation, but the nine people who worked for him also suffered a bad ending. Moreover, was it Wu Sanlang's own idea to bribe the students, or was it the Wu family who was behind it?
What does the Wu family want to do by recruiting students?!
Everyone had to think more.
Immediately afterwards, the former Duke of the Wu family was reported again, saying that his family had close contacts with students and their intentions were worthy of death.
The emperor did intend to protect the Wu family, but these series of events made it difficult for him to have a good impression of the Wu family. He first scolded them, and then asked Wu Sanlang's father to go home and reflect on his mistakes. He told him to return to the court and teach his son well first!
The three generations of the Wu family were almost angry to death.
Especially the old man, who was scolded by the emperor at such an old age that he dared not respond, and his prestige of many years seemed to be completely destroyed.
It was like adding insult to injury. The first thing I did when I got home was to use family rules.
Wu Sanlang was pressed on the bench, unable to move. After the old man returned home, he closed the door and refused to see visitors. He stayed in the house and refused to go out. Master Wu lost his official position inexplicably, and he was so angry that he took the board and hit him personally.
Wu Yezhi, who was standing next to him, couldn't stop him even if he wanted to.
"I thought you were a good person, and I hoped you could pass the imperial examination and bring honor to our family! Your father worked so hard to plan this, wasn't it all so that I could leave you brothers with power and wealth? But you, at this moment, have caused such a big mess! You didn't target anyone else, but you had to target Xiao Qilang. Who the hell is Xiao Qilang? Is it worth it for you to go to so much trouble to plot against him?! If your plot succeeded, it would be fine, but you've lost both the wife and the army. Why did I give birth to such a fool like you!"
Master Wu Da hit him with the board again.
I really want to beat this useless son to death.
"Dad, my third brother was just impulsive at the moment." Wu Yezhi said hurriedly.
"Impulsive? Is he still young?! What's the point of keeping an impulsive brain? Your Third Uncle was just ruined by Xiao Jingyun's evidence. Our family is not in the right. Now that the Xiao family is stepping on our faces, we have to endure it! And he is still looking for trouble with the Xiao family?! Even I have to avoid Xiao Shangshu now, but he took the initiative to bump into him. Is he annoyed that our family's heads have been on his neck for too long? One day, if the ginseng of the loyalists disobeys the emperor's will, we will all be finished!"
Master Wu Da covered his chest and breathed heavily.
Wu Yanming no longer looked like a gentleman. He was beaten so badly that blood splattered on his legs and he was covered in cold sweat.
