There are countless riches at the bottom of the sea, but there are also dangers in the ocean, but the most dangerous animals are still people, and the black-clothed wizard Wang Gang suddenly appeared.

He crossed the Arctic Ocean with those polar bears, staring at Tang Zhangwei's fleet with fire-breathing eyes.

The black-clothed wizard Wang Gang rides a polar bear, and if a white-clothed wizard sees Wang Gang, he will definitely find that this Wang Gang is the most terrifying type of black-clothed wizard, the evil wizard. However, the white-clothed wizard was in the Arctic town and ran into the Tang Empire's transport

Wooden big birds for military and other intelligence.

In Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty, Wei Wan'er, Princess Suining, and Wei Zhuang got in touch with Tang Zhangwei through the wooden big bird, and they would deal with very urgent and dangerous matters by themselves.

However, there are some things they are not sure about, and they will also consult Tang Zhangwei.

However, most of the things are done by themselves and the Datang bureaucracy.

Even, Tang Zhaozong also helped Tang Zhangwei deal with some things.

When the wizard in white saw the big wooden bird, he went back.

After all, being in the ice and snow is not conducive to a white-clothed wizard's long-term cultivation.

Bartholomew is scheduled to arrive home tomorrow. As he said this, he looked up and met someone's gaze, and he looked back at his mother and said, "I think you will be of interest to all of them." With that, he walked away and went to greet the others.

William stared at his back. Is that really all he has to say?

William's parents continued on their way, and he followed them through the arched gate to the courtyard. All three of them didn't say a word. Over the past five weeks, he'd heard a lot of talk about who would succeed to the throne, but after Stephen's coronation at Westminster Abbey three days before Christmas, it seemed that the big picture had been decided. Now, if Vollen is right, the question seems to be open again. But what was Wallen's purpose in telling the Hamleys about this?

They walked across the green area towards the stables. As soon as they had shaken off the crowd outside the front porch of the church so that no one could overhear their conversation any longer, my father exclaimed, "What a stroke of luck – the man who insulted our family and was found guilty of the grave sin of rebellion!" ”

William didn't understand what was too lucky, but his mother clearly understood, as she nodded in agreement.

The father continued: "We can point the tip of our sword at him, grab him, and hang him on the nearest tree." ”

William hadn't expected that, but now it dawned on him. If Bartholomew was a rebel, killing him was a matter of course. "We can take revenge," William blurted out, "and not only will we not be punished for it, but we will be rewarded by the king!" "Then they could raise their heads again, and—

"You fools," said Mother with a sudden viciousness, "you brainless idiots. You said you were going to hang him on the nearest tree, do you want me to tell you what will happen then? ”

Neither father nor son said anything. When she's in this state of mind, it's best to keep quiet.

"Robert of Gloucester," she said, "would have denied any conspiracy, and would have embraced King Stephen and sworn allegiance; That's the end of it, but you'll both be hanged for murder. ”

William gave a cold war. The thought of being hanged frightened him. He had such nightmares. He could see, however, that his mother was right, that the king could believe, or pretend to believe, that no one would rebel against him rashly; Thus two innocent lives would be sacrificed without thinking.

The father said, "You're right. We tied him up like a pig to be killed, and sent him alive to Winchester to be handed over to the king, who accused him on the spot and demanded a reward. ”

"Why don't you use your brain?" Mother said contemptuously. She was nervous, and William could see that she was as excited about it as her father, but had different ideas. "Doesn't the vicar want to bind a rebel to the king?" She said, "Doesn't he want to get a reward for himself?" - Don't you know that he is bent on becoming the bishop of Wangqiao? Why did he want to give you the benefits of this arrest? Why did he want to meet us in the church, as if he had just met us, instead of Hamley? Why is our conversation so brief and not direct? ”

She paused to enhance the effect, as if she wanted to listen to the answer, but William and his son knew that she didn't really need an answer. William remembered that the priest should not have seen bloodshed, and that it might be for this reason that Volren did not want to be involved in the arrest of Bartholomew; But on further consideration, he realized that Volren would not have such concerns.

"I'll tell you," Mother continued, "because he wasn't sure Bartholomew was a rebel." His intelligence is not so reliable. I can't guess where he got it - maybe he overheard a drunken talk, maybe he intercepted an unclear letter, or maybe he had a conversation with a spy who couldn't be trusted. Whatever the case may be, he doesn't want to get in trouble anyway. He didn't want to publicly accuse Bartholomew of his rebellious behavior, and if it became clear that the charges were not true, he would be seen as a slanderer. He wants to take the risk and do this dirty thing for him; When the rebellion is over, if the rebellion is true, he will stand up and share in his benefits; If Bartholomew had been innocent, Wallen would simply never have acknowledged what he said to us today. ”

When she said that, it seemed obvious. But without her, William and his son would have fallen into the trap of Wallen entirely. They will willingly act as Walren's agent and take risks for him. The mother's political judgment was truly accurate.

The father said, "Are you saying that we should forget about it completely?" ”

"Of course not." Her eyes sparkled, "This is still an opportunity to destroy the people who humiliated us." A squire waited there with her horse in hand, and she took the reins and waved him away, but did not immediately mount her horse. She stood beside the horse, patted the horse's neck in contemplation, and whispered, "We need evidence of their rebellion, so that when we accuse him, he will not be able to get away." We still have to get the evidence quietly, and we can't reveal our intentions. When the evidence is available, we can arrest Count Bartholomew and bring him to the king. Faced with the evidence, Bartholomew could only plead guilty and ask for forgiveness. At that time, we will ask for our reward. ”

"And to deny that Volren helped us," the father added.

Mother shook her head. "Let him go and get his share of the honor and reward, then he owes us a favor, and it will only be good for us."
