Both of them are smart people, and they chatted very congenially.
Although the second master and the third master all hold official positions, they are all small officials who do not stand on the stage. It is impossible to chat with them and can only sit with them.
The food was quickly put on the table, and several people sat down and chatted while eating. Mr. Wang took a moment to talk to Xu Tianlu: "Tianlu, it must be very hard for the prince to be in charge of the general police factory alone."
Bar?"
Xu Tianlu said with a smile on his face: "It's hard to say that it's hard to do things for the emperor. It's true that there are many things to do."
Third Master Wang said: "Three Uncle, although I am not talented, I am still skilled in bow and horse. I have always admired the prince and am willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses for him."
Xu Tianlu said with a surprised look on his face: "The third uncle looks like a scholar. Is it true that he is both civil and military?"
"I don't dare, I don't dare," Mr. Wang Sanye said with a smile: "It's just rough writing, but it's kung fu. I've practiced it since I was a child..."
Seeing that the topic was taken away from him, he began to proudly brag about his own skills, without even realizing that he didn't even give the right words.
Wang Xunshi was speechless.
Originally, Wang Shenxing was the eldest son and the legitimate son, and could definitely inherit the Marquis House. However, now that Wang Shenxing had earned a title of his own, it was no longer rare. Therefore, only the second and third masters were competing for the title of the Marquis House.
But Mrs. Hou looks simple, but she is very powerful in the back house. Suinan Hou is also a strict wife, and the second and third masters were raised when they were young. If they are not good at literature and martial arts, forget it. In social situations, even ordinary people
No one is as good as anyone. Everyone wants to take advantage of Tang Shijin’s influence, but no one can say it so straightforwardly!
Wang Xunshi saw the two of them talking for a while, then changed the topic: "Speaking of which, you are going to take over the Tang family's fourth house when you come back, right?"
"Yes," Xu Tianlu said with a smile: "Of course I have to take back my own things."
Wang Xunshi shook his head and said, "It's been a while since we got some treatment. It's become a bit outrageous."
"Yes," Xu Tianlu said: "But it doesn't matter, it's just that some people dare to take advantage of the royal family, so naturally we have to help the emperor recover it."
Help the emperor get it back? Wang Xunshi's eyes flashed, and he understood instantly.
Second Master Wang was looking for an opportunity to talk: "The things in Tangjia Sifang are really good! I think those women can make a lot of money if they go in one by one as if they didn't spend any money?"
Wang Xunshi was speechless when he asked this question.
Xu Tianlu smiled and said: "Although we sell a lot, the cost is also high. Many medicinal herbs and spices cannot be grown for three to five years..."
"Is it so troublesome?" Mr. Wang said very worriedly: "What if the goods can't be delivered? I heard that you have several stores in Jiangnan!"
"Yes," Xu Tianlu sighed: "Over there in the south of the Yangtze River, the capital has just been established and people from all directions gather. In fact, the business is not worse than in the capital. If it weren't for my junior brother..." He swallowed hard and his eyes turned red.
The Second Master Wang seemed to empathize: "Master Shen was young and promising, with both civil and military skills. I didn't want to die young..."
He held his sleeves to wipe away his tears. Wang Xunshi couldn't bear it and scolded him: "Okay, why are you telling Tianlu this?"
Xu Tianlu smoothed things over with red eyes: "It's okay, I was just feeling sentimental for a moment and lost my composure...Second uncle is feeling sorry for me. Uncle, my master has not seen a smiling face in a while, and we feel uncomfortable in our hearts."
Wang Xunshi patted him on the shoulder: "Your Majesty is very affectionate. When I came to the palace that day, I saw that she looked wrong. You should try to persuade her in private. She is still young and is suffering from depression!
"
Xu Tianlu nodded repeatedly: "I understand."
Wang Xunshi changed the subject: "I heard that your junior brother Liansheng passed the provincial examination?"
Xu Tianlu nodded, and the two started chatting again. The second master Wang and the third master Wang wanted to interrupt, but Wang Xunshi glared back.
After Xu Tianlu returned home, he sent Wang Wanru back to his room first, then turned to Tang Shijin and said, "Wang Xunshi should be completely unaware of junior brother's affairs. I guess my father-in-law told him a lot, and he is very close to us.
There is no need to do this."
Tang Shijin nodded.
Xu Tianlu added: "But it seems that he is very eager to meet you. It seems that Zhao Shouzhuo may be a little unhappy about what happened last time."
Tang Shijin hummed.
Wang Xunshi also said to Zhao Shoufu in private: "I hear what Xu Tianlu said. The income from the Tang family's fourth workshop must have been handed over to the national treasury. I don't know what will happen next."
Zhao Shoufu raised his eyebrows and said: "It's really smart. If you hand it over to the national treasury, you can naturally use the people of the General Police Factory."
His hand slowly knocked on the table: "Honestly, why do I feel that Tang Shijin's visit this time...is not a good one?"
Before in Jiangnan, she had always been very "smart" in her behavior. She followed the crowd and accepted gifts from you, and she never pretended to be aloof.
But now that she has come back, she has shown herself to be a fair and honest official. As far as this matter is concerned, even if she takes it back and does not hand it over to the treasury, she can still use the people of the General Police Factory, but it will undoubtedly be handed over to the treasury.
It makes sense to change your name when you move.
Losing such a large amount of property just to keep the name is a bit too much.
Wang Xunshi said: "I don't think it's so easy to change a person's behavior style. It's just that she is young and is feeling depressed now. She is looking for an excuse to vent her anger... She should be fine after a while."
Zhao Shoufu also thought about it: "Is Wang Zhi's case going to be closed?"
"It's coming soon," Wang Xun said seriously, "I heard that the criminal will be beheaded tomorrow."
Zhao Shoufu nodded.
Therefore, there are ten rivers between smart people and foolish people... The second and third masters Wang, who heard nothing from the beginning to the end, are still looking forward to Tang Shijin's promotion.
Early in the morning, Xu Tianlu and Tang Liansheng went to Tangjia Fourth Square with their men.
Tang Shijin and Qi Yaoling went outside the city.
Jiang Bian and Lei Xiao had already arrived. When he saw her coming, Jiang Bian couldn't help but frown, and came up to her and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Tang Shijin said: "Let me take a look."
Jiang Bian asked, "What's so good about this?"
Tang Shijin sighed: "I'm in charge of the West Factory, so I can't even dare to watch beheadings, right?" She looked at the people who were tied and kneeling on the ground: "Besides, these people all deserve their punishment, what should I be afraid of?"
Jiang Bian didn't try to persuade him any more and retreated.
Tang Shijin waited quietly.
At noon, the prison officer announced the execution and threw down the token.
Several executioners took off the guilt cards on the prisoners' backs with one hand, and then held the big sword with both hands. When they raised the knife and lowered it, a big head fell to the ground, and the blood in the neck cavity suddenly spurted out.
There were more than a hundred people, and each executioner had to kill dozens of heads. There was mud under his feet, and real blood flowed like a river. Not to mention Tang Shijin, even Lei Xiao was disgusted and looked away.
The smell of blood in the air was so strong that it made him sick. Tang Shijin turned his back and suddenly said: "Tell me, is there anyone innocent here?"
"No," Jiang Bian was the first to answer: "Everyone has passed through my hands. The evidence in my hand, the confession on the paper, and my eyes all confirm that they are not innocent and deserve what they deserve."
