In the main room of the princess mansion, Wang Yu and Princess Tong'an were sitting across the table. When Wang Tingzhang and others entered the room, Wang Yu said softly with an air of air.
"coming!"
"Greetings to Father and Mother!"
"Greetings, my lord, princess!"
When Wang Tingzhang and the man entered the room, they knelt down and kowtowed, but the woman in red rushed to the princess and hugged her and said coquettishly.
"Mom, you have to make the decision for Xin'er! Cut Qin Wenyuan and that hateful bastard into pieces."
"Get up!"
Wang Yu just opened his mouth to greet his son and the man got up. When Princess Tong'an heard what her daughter said, the thin eyebrows on her old face stood up, and she actually said it at the same time as Wang Yu.
"Qin Wenyuan, what happened to my son? Who is the other person? Xin'er, tell me quickly. If that boy is disrespectful to you, my mother will not let that boy go."
Seeing the angry face of Princess Tong'an, Wang Tingzhang stood up and started talking.
"Mom calmed down, Rong Tingzhang said slowly. Just when Tingzhang led his troops into the city, he met Qin Wenyuan and the sergeant in Qianniuwei uniform at the city gate. The general leading the Qianniuwei looked at the little sister and said
There was something unclean and messy in there. The little girl couldn't see it and made people want to talk to the guy in front of her. Unexpectedly, she was caught by the thief and wanted to hand it over to the government. Qin Wenyuan was very deep in the city and was watching from the side.
, seems to be guarding against Mr. Xie."
"Xie Hong, you came here to hear it, is that what Tingzhang said?"
"Princess, what the master said is absolutely true. Xie Hong does not dare to speak nonsense."
Hearing what the princess asked Xie Hong, Wang Tingzhang unconsciously flashed a sinister look in his eyes, and in his heart he greeted all eight generations of the princess's ancestors.
But it turns out that Wang Tingzhang's biological mother is not the eldest princess of Tong'an. Although he and Wang Yuxin are half-brothers and sisters, in the eyes of the princess, Wang Tingzhang knows that this old lady does not treat him as a son. Even Xie Hong is also arranged by the princess to be her daughter.
As a master, if I hadn't been very kind to Xie Hong over the years, I wonder if Xie Hong might still be spying on him.
"Have you found out who the leader of the Thousand Niu Guards is?"
After hearing what Wang Tingzhang said, Princess Tong'an asked dissatisfiedly.
At this time, Xie Hong heard the princess' question and immediately answered.
"Princess Qi, it seems that the weapons used by the young general are related to General Cheng of the Su Kingdom. I guess that the young general is the son of Cheng Yaojin, but I am not sure."
"No matter who he is, as long as he dares to talk nonsense to my son, I will not spare him. You don't have to worry about it anymore."
The eldest princess of Tong'an said with a gloomy face after hearing Xie Hong's words. After speaking, she took the tea from her daughter's hand and took a sip before continuing.
"Tingzhang! This time I asked you and Xie Hong to come to Chang'an City so that you can come up with ideas on how to deal with Qin Wenyuan. Wang Gui's nephew died miserably, and his head is still missing. Although there is no evidence that Qin Wenyuan did it.
, but nephew Wang Gui's biggest enemy in Chang'an City is Qin Wenyuan. If your Wang family is afraid of Qin Wenyuan's power, I have nothing to say. It's just that my face is burdened by your Wang family. Let's look at your Wang family.
How to do it."
After saying this, the eldest princess of Tong'an stood up and leaned on her daughter before speaking softly.
"Xin'er, please go back to the house with your mother! Wait for the father and son to discuss things here."
After Princess Tongan and her daughter left the room, Wang Yu finally spoke.
"Xie Hong! You should also go down and have a rest. We will discuss how to deal with Qin Wenyuan later."
Xie Hong knew that the head of the old family must be discussing something with his son, so he sent him away because he was wary of him. After all, he was a close guard who married into the Wang family with the princess. Although he spent most of his time in the Wang family in Taiyuan these years, he was actually accepted by the Wang family.
In addition to protecting the young lady, the princess's mission is to pay attention to the actions of the Wang family.
Xie Hong sighed inwardly, thinking that Wang Tingzhang had been very sincere to him over the years. He was also a dignified seven-foot-tall man but he did not dare to open his heart to others. In order to repay Li Yuan's great kindness for taking in the Xie family in troubled times, he had to
It is really not Xie’s wish to do something shameful and dark!
With complicated feelings, Xie Hong resigned with a look of loneliness on his face...
Wang Tingzhang felt sad when he saw Xie Hong's gloomy expression. How could he not know what Xie Hong was thinking at this time? People's hearts are made of flesh. A man like Xie Hong, who regards kindness as higher than the sky and deeper than the sea, also
How can you not know that others are indifferent to your kindness?
After Xie Hong left, Wang Yu looked at his son and spoke softly.
"Son! Don't feel resentful about what the princess just said. Although my Wang family is a big tree with deep roots, there are still many places that rely on the royal family. My father is old and he probably won't live long in this world. Why?
Father hopes that the Wang family can flourish in my hands. If you are truly capable of making the Wang family bigger and no longer want to rely on anyone else, I will die in peace."
After saying this, Wang Yu sighed softly and continued.
"The purpose of summoning my son to Chang'an this time is to see how to earn back the Wang family's face in the capital because of Wang Gui's matter. If my Wang family ignores the murder of their nephew and only wants to rely on the court to find the murderer, then it will definitely be nothing.
The influence of my Wang family in the court will be underestimated in the future. Alas! It’s also my fault that Wang Gui repeatedly provoked Qin Wenyuan because of his brother Wang Yong’s affairs, and was even used by Changsun Wuji to lure the Taoist priest of Jiangsheng Palace to attack and kill Qin Wenyuan. This
That’s why it caused a fatal disaster...cough...cough...!"
Seeing that his father was struggling to speak, Wang Tingzhang supported his father's back and kept tapping gently. Seeing his old father still worrying about the honor and disgrace of the family, Wang Tingzhang felt very uncomfortable. He thought of his father's respectful and careful look in front of the princess.
In addition to sadness, there was also a huge hatred rising in his heart. He hated his Wang family for why they had to obey the princess's orders in everything. This time, it was also for the sake of the princess's self-righteous royal dignity. The Wang family did not hesitate to use their own interests to fight against
If someone with a military background like Xu Tian tries hard, he is pushing the Wang family to death!
In fact, the most sober person in the Wang family is Wang Tingzhang. This person acts steadily and unassumingly. He always regards the interests of the family as the most important matter. He pursues the principle of harmony and wealth throughout his life. Over the years, the Wang family has become more important.
He takes care of things in an orderly manner and is highly supported by his family members.
Wang Tingzhang also has other views on Wang Gui's murder. He believes in karma. If you don't want other people's lives, how can you cause a huge disaster? For the sake of a small Licheng General Ningyuan, he did not hesitate to do his duty.
To provoke a powerful enemy even if you are being used by others is to seek your own death and no one will blame you for it.
"Dad, my son has his own concerns about Qin Wenyuan. He thinks that the Xu family in Licheng is now at its peak, and even the emperor does not dare to offend him easily. To deal with Qin Wenyuan, my Wang family will never do anything behind the scenes like Wang Gui did.
Conspiracy, it is best to use conspiracy to eradicate this son, so as to protect the face of my Wang family and prevent the Qin family from openly retaliating."
After Wang Tingzhang finished speaking, he saw his father listening attentively, his face seemed to show approval, and he continued.
"The day I received the letter from my father at home, I had a discussion with Xie Hong, asking Xie Hong to challenge Qin Wenyuan to a martial arts competition. I thought that Qin Wenyuan was a proud man, how could he withstand such a provocation, and he would definitely accept the invitation to fight.
, if we can get the emperor's permission for Qin Wenyuan and Xie Hong to compete in the school field in the capital, regardless of life and death, then it is the best choice for my royal family to deal with Qin Wenyuan. However, this matter still needs the princess to go to the emperor to persuade the emperor to agree and be able to issue it.
Purpose, wouldn't this not only avenge Wang Gui's murder, but also allow the Wang family to show the appearance of being cared about by the emperor in the capital? Then the Wang family is not a prestige in the capital. It has both face and face, and it can also prevent other aristocratic families from easily provoking the Wang family.
This is a conspiracy to kill two birds with one stone. What does the father think of what his son said?"
After listening to what his son said, Wang Yu was greatly comforted. He looked at his son with kind eyes and couldn't help but think that God has taken care of our Wang family and we have this son of Qilin. I believe that our Wang family will become more and more prosperous under the leadership of this son.
He is strong, and he can spend the last few days of his life with peace of mind!
…
When Qin Wenyuan returned to the house, he didn't know that someone was plotting against him secretly. He was very happy when he heard the butler's report on the sales of iron furnaces and coal. He was even more happy when he thought about the bet with Yuwen old ghost. He was not at all worried about killing Wang Guina.
Worry about exposing your mood when something happens.
Qin Wenyuan returned to the room and had dinner with Changle. He sang with Changle's brother and sister in his arms, which made Changle laugh. He thought about how his husband was so happy today, but the song was really good. Listening to it made him laugh.
People are comfortable.
"Where did your husband learn these songs? How come Changle has never heard them before?"
"You haven't heard of it, have you! My husband knows more than just these songs. If you want to hear them, just wait until my husband gets an instrument and sings them for you to listen to."
After saying that, Qin Wenyuan let go of Chang Le and went outside like a gust of wind. He took out a guitar instrument he had made in his previous life. Qin Wenyuan immediately returned to the room with the guitar and showed off to Ping'er.
Changle didn't hesitate to see her husband bring back a weird thing like a magic trick. She had long been used to seeing her husband's miraculous tricks.
Qin Wenyuan gently plucked the strings, and a burst of "ding-ding-dong-dong" sound spread out in the room and spread outside. Chang Le looked surprised.
"Ma'am, I've seen it, and I will sing a song for you, my husband!"
While Chang Le looked surprised, Qin Wenyuan stroked the strings, and the watery sound of the piano echoed in the room along with his somewhat hoarse voice. This sound floated through the room in the Qin Mansion under the night, making people listen.
Come and have a unique taste.
"There are still a lot of things that I want to say but haven't said yet. I saved them because I wanted to write them into songs and let people sing them softly and memorize them indifferently. Even if I finally forget them, it's still worth it...over the hills...even though they are already white. Head... After crossing the hill, I found that no one was waiting... Why can't I remember who gave me a hug last time... When... I crossed the hill..."
Qin Wenyuan's guitar playing level is quite good, which is all due to the hard practice he had in his previous life as a soldier in the army. Here he sings happily but seems to be unaware of the ancient people's sensitivity to music. There are those who listened to the music all over the street in his previous life. However, passers-by regard all kinds of singing as something they have become accustomed to and are not surprised by.
At this time, people in the house who were moved by the sound of the strings had already gathered outside Qin Wenyuan's house. Chang Le in the house was already moved to tears by the slightly sad melody. Sima Yuntian looked up at the dark night sky, listening to the sadness. The lyrics let the hot tears flow down the cheeks in the cold night wind and slowly cooled down.
For a moment, there seemed to be an indescribable sadness spreading in the Qin Mansion under the night. It was Zhang Long, Ji Wen's subordinate who was monitoring the Xu Mansion outside the mansion, and he was drunk by this melody and profound artistic conception that he had never heard before. in the lyrics.
"You guy, howling in the middle of the night, why don't you get out of the house!"
Hearing the call from outside, the music in the room suddenly stopped, but the lingering melody was still floating in the room and in the night sky outside.
Qin Wenyuan quickly put down his guitar and came out of the house. He was drunk when he suddenly saw the situation outside the house. What's going on? Are you like this?
At this time, Chang Le had already come out of the house. He was amused when he saw his husband being scolded by Hu Guang. Then Chang Le hurriedly ordered the rest of the people in the house to go back to their rooms to rest.
Seeing that everyone in the mansion had dispersed, Chang Le said.
"Husband, of those things you gave to Changle, I need to give more to Uncle Hu Guang."
"So that's what happened. My husband asked me why Uncle Guang was so weird when I saw him in the room, but it turns out that's what happened."
Qin Wenyuan understood it in his heart.
…
At dawn, Qin Wenyuan returned to his room to wash up. After breakfast, Changle stayed for him to help him change into his official uniform. Then he led his guards to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry to meet with Yan Liben and report on the completion of the insect egg eradication work in Chang'an County.
As soon as Qin Wenyuan arrived at the Yamen, he met Yan Liben, who was about to come out of the Yamen. When he saw Qin Wenyuan, Yan Liben said with a smile.
"You kid, you know how to come to the Yamen to see me. Let's go, let's go! Go to the temple with me to meet the saint. If you don't come today, I will have to make an extra trip to Xu Mansion to call you."
"Master Yan, don't you want to hear what happened in Chang'an County first before going to see the emperor?"
"Let's talk while walking on the road. I don't have anything to worry about when you are here to command me in Chang'an County. The emperor has been annoyed by Wang Gui's affairs these days and often gets angry in the palace. Early this morning, a palace eunuch told me to come to the palace to see him. , The emperor must have wanted to use the matter of eradicating insect eggs to dispel the questioning of several veterans in the court about Wang Gui's matter!"
Qin Wenyuan and Yan Liben walked out of the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry while talking.
After coming out of the house, Qin Wenyuan handed over his horse to his bodyguard, and he and Yan Liben got into the carriage and talked all the way.
Just as Yan Liben said, Qin Wenyuan and he came to the palace and were summoned by the emperor. After entering the Golden Palace, they saw Wang Yu and an old woman sitting under the golden palace. At this time, he and Li Shimin were talking about something unknown. Standing next to him
The man and the woman were exactly the people Qin Wenyuan and Cheng Chumo met in front of the city gate when they returned to Chang'an City, the head of the Wang family Wang Qianzhang and his sister Wang Yuxin.
Qin Wenyuan and Yan Liben entered the palace. After they paid homage to the emperor, Qin Wenyuan and Yan Liben respectfully paid homage to the old woman.
"We have paid homage to the eldest princess of Tong'an. The eldest princess is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
Qin Wen saw that Yan Liben was like this, and he bowed to the princess casually as a greeting. He was about to tell the emperor about the pest control in Chang'an County so he could leave here as soon as possible. He didn't want to talk nonsense with these nobles in the palace.
