After a while, Zhao Hongrun was invited to the side hall of the north room of the house by Wang Zan, Wang Zan, Wang Xun, Wang Lun and others.
During this period, Zhao Hongrun kept chanting the name Wang Ting silently in his heart.
You must know that after the war with Zhao Laiyu was resolved, Zhao Laiyu, in order to show his goodwill, silently wrote a list of the names of the members of the Wang family in Zhengcheng that he knew.
After all, the Zhengcheng Wang family is also a clan, and their clan members are also registered in the clan register of the clan. Although Zhao Laiyu does not have the photographic memory ability like Zhao Hongrun, he cannot name all the members of the Zhengcheng Wang clan.
There is no problem if you write it down silently, but if you write down a few names that are directly related to the king and queen.
And Wang Ting is exactly among those names.
He is the youngest brother of Queen Wang, the brother-in-law of Zhao Hongrun's father, Zhao Yuancai, and the brother-in-law of the Prince of the East Palace.
legitimate son!
Wang Ting is a direct descendant of the Wang family in Zhengcheng, and he is also the most favored direct son in his family!
I have to say that this matter was somewhat beyond Zhao Hongrun's expectations. He really didn't expect that the so-called distinguished guest was actually Wang Ming, a direct descendant of the Wang family in Zhengcheng.
Does this mean that the branch of the Anling Wang family is still very important in the eyes of the Zhengcheng Wang family?
But after thinking about it carefully, Zhao Hongrun felt relieved. After all, the Anling Wang family was originally the leading wealthy family in Anling County. Although it was a public family, its power was greater than that of the Zhao family in Zhao Laiyu.
It is no exaggeration to say that in Anling County, the Anling Wang family can be said to be the local kings here.
How could the Wang family of Zhengcheng give up so easily when they dominate a county?
"His Royal Highness King Su? His Highness King Su?"
"Huh?"
Zhao Hongrun, who was interrupted from his thoughts, suddenly raised his head and found Wang Ting looking at him with a smile.
So, he also smiled and said: "I'm sorry, I was distracted. What did the prince say just now?"
When Wang Ting heard this, he didn't take it for granted. He pointed to the table that was already filled with various sumptuous dishes and said with a smile: "Wang said that in Anling, a remote and remote place, there is nothing fancy to entertain His Highness Su. I hope His Highness Su will not dislike it."
.......If His Highness Prince Su passes by Zhengcheng next time, he might as well let Wang Mou enter the friendship of the landlord again."
It is a very common courtesy. When Zhao Hongrun heard this, he was about to say a few words of politeness, but he saw Wang Zan beside him and said in a strange way: "My son, the friendship of landlords should not be said casually, as it will make His Highness Prince Su mistakenly think that Zheng Cheng is the Wang family.
All owned by this family.”
"Huh?" Wang Ting was stunned for a moment and glanced at Wang Zan with some confusion. Then he turned to look at Zhao Hongrun, only to see that the smile on Zhao Hongrun's face was gradually fading away.
Wang Zan immediately understood that Zhao Hongrun had used this word to make things difficult for Wang Zan.
What a fool!
Thinking of this, Wang Ting cursed secretly in his heart.
He knew what Wang Zan meant. He just hoped that he, Wang Ming, could save some face for the Anling Wang family. But the question was, was this Prince Su in front of him a soft persimmon that could be manipulated at will?
Thinking of this, Wang Ting said before Zhao Hongrun could speak: "Oh, that's right, it was Wang who made a mistake. In the whole world, who is not the king, except for the direct line, who can say this nonsense?
?”
Wang Ting's words stunned the three brothers Wang Zan, Wang Xun, and Wang Lun, and also made Zhao Hongrun swallow the sarcasm he was about to blurt out.
This guy...
Not caring about ridiculing Wang Zan, Zhao Hongrun looked at Wang Zan seriously.
From this little thing alone, Zhao Hongrun realized that Wang Ting was by no means a simple playboy. His reflexes and insight were both outstanding.
"hehe."
Zhao Hongrun finally laughed twice without comment, and at the same time glanced at Wang Zan intentionally or unintentionally.
No wonder, after all, he swallowed the sarcasm that was about to blurt out in vain, and he felt a little unhappy in his heart.
However, because of Wang Zan's demeanor, Zhao Hongrun could not teach Wang Zan a lesson on the spot, but he remembered it.
Whether it was the former Eighth Prince or the current King Su, Zhao Hongrun has always taken revenge!
……fool!
Wang Ting obviously noticed Zhao Hongrun's glance at Wang Zan, and cursed secretly in his heart.
Maybe other nobles don't know Zhao Hongrun, but the Wang family in Zhengcheng is quite familiar with Zhao Hongrun.
Why?
Because the Wang family of Zhengcheng wanted to support the crown prince of the East Palace to ascend the throne and become the king of Wei, they always paid attention to Daliang and knew the situation of Daliang well.
In Daliang, the royal capital, Su Wang Hongrun was exactly the big shot who received the utmost attention from the Wang family in Zhengcheng.
After all, since the founding of the Wei State, there has never been a prince with a hundred thousand military power. Although it is said that Zhao Hongrun took down these one hundred thousand military power by himself, the Emperor of Wei actually acquiesced in this matter, which fully illustrates this.
The importance of His Royal Highness Prince Su in the heart of Emperor Wei.
Therefore, the Wang family in Zhengcheng would not want to offend Zhao Hongrun if it was not necessary.
Firstly, King Su is said to be quite petty and will retaliate if he offends him. Secondly, the battle for the throne between the East Palace and King Yong has not yet been decided. If Zhao Hongrun is offended, King Su will stand on his side.
If it's King Yong's side, things will go badly wrong.
After all, Zhao Hongrun's right to speak in the Liang Dynasty is not small.
Thinking of this, Wang Ting hurriedly toasted to smooth things over. At the same time, he glared at Wang Zan secretly and told the latter to shut up.
Although Wang Zan was the head of the Wang family in Anling, he seemed a bit weak in front of Wang Ting, a direct descendant of the family. After being kicked in the eye by Wang Ting, he stopped talking with a look of dismay on his face.
Later, at the dinner table, Wang Ming warmly offered wine and food, and his attitude towards Zhao Hongrun was one of attentiveness.
About half an hour later, when everyone was full and full, Wang Ting called his servants to remove the leftovers and made two pots of tea to serve.
After the servants left, there was silence in the side hall for a moment.
...is coming.
Zhao Hongrun instinctively felt a slight change in the atmosphere, and took a few sips of tea slowly.
Sure enough, as Zhao Hongrun expected, Wang Ting looked at him for a while, with a look of embarrassment and guilt on his face, and said with a wry smile: "Prince Su, my Wang family has already taken care of the matter of dividing the family.
Please, it’s really... Oh, Wang doesn’t know what to say... These boys from the Separate Family are so daring! How daring!"
…
Zhao Hongrun held the tea cup and glanced at Wang Ting with an indifferent expression.
The look in his eyes seemed to say: Are you audacious? Is this the end?
"Ha!" He hummed softly, without commenting.
At this time, Wang Ting licked his lips and said kindly: "Your Highness King Su, after Wang arrived at the branch house today, he has already taught the people in the branch house a lesson. I believe they have also learned a lesson. I don't know... Su
Your Majesty, can you please be lenient and give me a little punishment?"
"I've taught you a lesson..." Zhao Hongrun's muttering voice happened to be heard by everyone in the room, and then he glanced at Wang Zan who had just attacked him, and chuckled twice, full of ridicule.
Seeing this, Wang Ting couldn't help but frown and glanced at Wang Zan with his peripheral vision. Then he looked at Zhao Hongrun with a smile on his face and said sincerely: "As long as King Su can show his noble hand, the Wang family will be rewarded generously!"
After saying that, he clapped his hands twice and saw two guards walking in carrying a large wooden box.
When the box was opened, it was filled with jade, jewelry, jade, agate and other valuables. Zhao Hongrun even saw a few luminous pearls as big as eggs.
"Wang came in a hurry and didn't prepare any heavy gifts or some small things. I hope King Su won't dislike it."
...is this a small gift?
Zhao Hongrun's face remained calm, but he was really surprised in his heart.
You must know that although he has lived in the palace for a long time and has no idea about gold, silver, wealth, and silk, he has led Pingyang's army to the fiefdom of Xiong Tuo, the king of Yangcheng, to plunder the property of those nobles in the city. How could he not know this? The value of something?
This box of things is definitely worth the tax revenue of a small county like Yu County for a year, or even more than that.
Suddenly, Zhao Hongrun felt a strong feeling of hatred against the rich.
I thought that he was a direct descendant of the royal clan with the surname of Ji, and he was the king of Su, but he owed millions of taels of silver to the Ministry of Household Affairs. And Wang Ming, a descendant of the Zhengcheng family, took out a box worth of half the price of Prince Su's Mansion in Liang Dynasty. Treasure, actually said to be a mere gift?
Damn it! Damn it!
Zhao Hongrun cursed secretly.
"..." Wang Ting opened his mouth, quite at a loss.
He felt that something was suddenly wrong with Zhao Hongrun's expression.
Having said that, is this gift really just a small gift?
Of course it's impossible. This was a gift carefully prepared by the Wang family of Zhengcheng for Zhao Hongrun, the Su King. Wang Ting originally thought that Zhao Hongrun would be satisfied. Unexpectedly, after Zhao Hongrun saw the box of treasure, his eyes suddenly became incomprehensible to Wang Ting.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun had woken up from the resentment in his heart. He looked at Wang Ming and shook his head and said: "Young Master Wang, you will not be rewarded for your merits. I forgive you for not being able to accept such a great courtesy."
The smile on Wang Ting's face froze when he heard this, and then he smiled nonchalantly and said: "Haha, Wang made an oversight. How could His Highness Prince Su take such small things to heart?"
Of course I will take it to heart! Don’t you know that I am so poor now?!
Zhao Hongrun screamed several times in his heart, but he smiled faintly and said noncommittally: "Haha."
After laughing, he shook his head and said: "What the Wang family committed this time is really difficult to deal with. In the case of the Gong brothers, more than a thousand people died; the county warehouse was in deficit, and the amount was even more unbelievable to me... "
Listening to Zhao Hongrun's detailed description of the crimes committed by the Luo Anling Wang family, a hint of displeasure flashed in Wang Ming's eyes with a smile on his face.
Suddenly, he interrupted Zhao Hongrun and asked abruptly: "Prince Su, how long has it been since you paid attention to things in Daliang?"
"..."
Zhao Hongrun was stunned when he heard this. He stopped talking about Wang's crimes in detail. He looked at Wang Ting and frowned slightly.
How long?...What does it mean?
Zhao Hongrun carefully studied Wang Ming's expression, but saw that he had already put away his attentive smile, and his expression was half-smiling but not smiling, as if he was confident.
