After Ji You left, Director Wang sat in the banquet for a while, after all, he was still unsettled, and picked up his pen to prepare a warrant to send to the Protector's Mansion.

Now the Protector Mansion has no chief officer since Yu Yi left the capital, and the new Central Protector Yu Tan has not yet returned to the capital, and the current head of the Protector Mansion is Wu County Gu He.

Gu He is Gu Rong's son, in his early years, he was Situ Peng's subordinate and Yangzhou farewell, and he has always had a good reputation, and he is recognized as the choice of the three princes in the north and south.

Halfway through the writing of the warrant, Director Wang stopped, looked at the few ink blots and muttered for a long time, and finally raised his hand and put the pen down.

Because of the overhaul of the Taiwan Garden, many Taiwanese ministers have returned home, and the official office is now spacious, so there is no need to squeeze up and down in one place. After sitting in the room for a long time, Wang Dao walked out of the door, and just about to instruct his servants to prepare for the car, he saw his engaged Langzhong Yuan Tan wandering under the corridor.

"Is there something wrong with Hikomichi?"

For this young person with good ability and talent, Director Wang also attaches great importance to it, so he summoned him to his side to experience and accumulate some qualifications for future use.

Hearing the voice, Yuan Tan found that Director Wang had already gone out, his expression couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and after hesitating for a moment, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "The younger generations haven't heard the Qingyin of Taibao for a long time, and they all want to visit the house, I don't know if Taibao has time to receive them?" ”

When Director Wang heard this, an apologetic smile appeared on his face: "I also like to sit and admire the handsome style of the young man nowadays, but recently I have been entangled in many affairs. In a few days, after this busy time, I instructed the sons and daughters of the family to hold a banquet, and Yan Dao should not be absent at that time. ”

Director Wang has always been kind to people, never coldly regarded because of his position and age, and never hesitated to bring up young people who are truly talented and interested, and there have always been many children from the north and south who have come and gone in his mansion. But today he was distraught, and he was not in the mood for this.

"I'm just saying it casually, the Taibao doesn't have to take it to heart."

Hearing Director Wang say this, Yuan Tan hurriedly said, and then bowed and retreated. When he reached the corner, he stopped, and watched the Taibao hurriedly march out of the official office to get on the chariot accompanied by several attachés, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes.

The day before yesterday, his little sister returned home and gossiped, and Yuan Tan knew that the Xie family and the Shen family were getting closer, and even Xie Shang was preparing to go south to Wuxing in the past few days, and wanted to choose a place to move the grave for his deceased father, and it seemed that he was going to completely board the Shen family's ship.

Yuan Tan and Xie Shang are both relatives and good friends, and he admires Xie Shang very much, so he feels particularly sorry for this change in the Xie family.

But he also knows the helplessness of the Xie family to make this choice, and the confrontation between all parties in Taiwan is extremely grim, no matter who it is, if it can't find a favorable position in the current situation as soon as possible, then it will soon be marginalized.

The reputation of the Chen Jun Yuan clan is far better than that of the Xie clan, but because most of the people in the Nandu clan were scattered, and many important elders died, including Yuan Tan's own father Yuan Chong also died early, Taichung did not have a strong elder as a backing, and his position and future were seriously weakened.

Even Yuan Tan himself, although he was praised by his elders, he also risked his life in the rebellion to run for the Taibao, so he was appreciated by the Taibao and started cultivating. Otherwise, he himself will have a bleak future, and he doesn't know how to improve.

Because of this, Yuan Tan can especially understand the plight of the Xie family, and can also understand Xie Shang's choice. But understanding does not mean agreeing, although the Shen family is in a strong position at the moment, and that colt is indeed a high talent far beyond his peers, but after all, it is the gateway of the southerners, and there has never been a clear voice aesthetics, and it may not last for a while.

Therefore, in Yuan Tan's view, the Xie family pinned their hopes on supporting the Shen family and seeking progress, which was a bit eager for quick success. He couldn't bear to see his good friend pay the wrong future, and he also understood that persuasion alone could not solve the Xie family's predicament, so he planned to find an opportunity to promote Xie Shang again in front of the Taibao, hoping that the Taibao could pay more attention to the Xie family, so as to dispel the Xie family's idea of switching to another family.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he opened his mouth, he was politely rejected by Taibao, even if there was still a chance in the future, but the ancestral tomb of the Xie family would be moved to the Shen family's hometown. At that time, even if the Xie family intends to turn back, how can the Wang family still trust his family?

You must know that the old surnames of overseas Chinese who are waiting in line now are not one family and one household, and there are only so many positions, how can it be handed over to a Xie family with a bad record!

Not to mention Yuan Tan's depressed mood, after Director Wang left Taicheng, he went straight back to his home in Wuyi Lane.

Compared with before the rebellion, the current Wang family is also deserted. Wang Shu's family has gone to Jiangzhou, while Wang Bin has stayed in the township of Langya County and has not returned to the capital for a long time, and many descendants are also divided into various parties, and there is no longer the scene of families living together and gathering together in the past.

Looking at the cold door of the mansion, Director Wang couldn't help but feel a little sour. Now his family is cold and cold, not because his family is not respected by the people of the time because of the decline of his own power, in fact, after the rebellion, because Yu Liang, who fought against him in the early years, died, and Wen Qiao is not fighting in Taichung, and now Wang Dao can be said to be a unified political affair, which is stronger than before.

However, because he is busy with political affairs and is often in Taichung, many people can't see anyone even if they come to visit. In the past, his eldest son Wang Yue came forward to entertain guests, but now Wang Yue has also passed away, and the second son Wang Tian has always been arrogant and absurd, only embarrassing people, and never knew how to treat people kindly. As for the other sons, they are all too young to be able to deal with others.

Over time, when Director Wang was not in the house, no one came to the door.

Looking at the deserted courtyard, I couldn't help but think of my eldest son Wang Yue, who died early, and Director Wang's expression was a little gloomy. He collected his mood and returned home, and even asked people to summon the concubine Lei to meet him.

Soon after the king entered the room, a beautiful woman in a gorgeous dress was led by her family to hurry up, and the woman first saluted after entering the room, and then moved to the front of the king's guide seat, knelt down sideways and adjusted the buttermilk and said: "The lord has not returned home for a long time, and the concubine has been waiting for a long time to look at the court, and she is looking forward to it." ”

Men and women want to be sexual, and Director Wang is naturally not exempt from vulgarity, and he has always loved this little concubine Lei. Because his wife has been indulging in the pain of losing her son, and his health has always been unsafe, so many affairs in the mansion are now taken care of by this Lei family.

At the moment, Wang Dao was preoccupied, but he was not in the mood to respond to this woman's resentment, so he just said in a deep voice: "Is the tiger dolphin in the mansion now?" What has he been doing out of the ordinary these days? ”

Tiger Dolphin is Wang Peng's nickname, although his father Wang Bin stayed in the township for a long time, but he returned to the capital because of his work and lived in the house.

When Lei Shi heard this, he was slightly stunned, and when he saw Wang Dao's solemn expression, he didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly got up and hurriedly walked out, called a few stewards in the house to ask, and then returned to reply: "San Lang left the capital and returned to his hometown the day before yesterday, and he was in a hurry, but I don't know why." ”

When Director Wang heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he vaguely felt that his bad guess might be true. This time, he did not hesitate any longer, and asked people to present paper and ink and write a pen and paper, and when he was finished, he sealed it and handed it to a family member before the ink was dry, and instructed: "Immediately return to the hometown of the people, give this letter to Shiru, and tell him to return to the capital as soon as he receives the letter!" ”

Seeing Director Wang's rare grim expression, the family didn't dare to slack off, so they hurriedly retreated and made arrangements even after collecting the letter.

After doing this, Director Wang instructed Lei Shi again: "You go and tell Madame to let her restrain her family in the next few days, and if it is not necessary, try not to stay outside." ”

Although Lei Shi was also curious about why Director Wang was so nervous, she was also a smart woman, and she was not pampered and arrogant to ask questions, but just nodded in response and then retreated to pass the word. It's just that not long after, she hurried back again, looking a little embarrassed and said, "Qilang went to the north of the city yesterday to wander around, and he hasn't returned yet......"

When Director Wang heard this, his face turned dark, he had never liked this second son Wang Tian, and sometimes he even wondered why Cangtian wanted to take away his good son but leave his inferior son! But this mind can only be kept in the bottom of my heart, and cannot be preached.

"Let people bring swords and soldiers, and quickly get them back for me! After returning home, you are not allowed to go out at home! ”

Director Wang said hatefully, already a little angry in his heart. Now there are many self-assertors in this family, and no one tells them when they are in trouble, and they have to clean up when they get into trouble!

After instructing these things, Director Wang simply ate a little food, and on the way, his wife Cao, who still had a sick face on her face, came to see him, and asked what happened by the way. Director Wang just shook his head and repeated the previous words.

He had now made the worst plan in his heart, but he had no time to stay in the mansion at the moment, and was just about to leave to return to Taicheng, when he heard the door report to the court lieutenant Bian Dun asking to see him, and immediately ordered to invite people in.

After sitting down with each other, Director Wang quickly asked, "Ting Wei came to see him, but he has already found out the origin of those murderers?" I don't mean to interfere in the affairs of the court lieutenant, but this matter is quite extensive, and we must come up with a result as soon as possible! ”

After Bian Dun heard this, a determined smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he said in a rather regretful tone: "I am anxious to see the Taibao, and I also have something urgent to tell." Those murderers died violently in the court lieutenant prison a few days ago, and their desire for death was very strong, which was really defenseless. ”

"Dead?"

When Director Wang heard this, his eyes were already wide, and then he looked at Bian Dun with burning eyes, and said in a condensed voice: "How could he die?" Didn't the Danyang County Government find out that these people were not ordinary people, and they had the desire to die, how could Ting Wei let such an important person die? ”

Seeing Director Wang's reaction, Bian Dun was stunned for a moment, and his expression became a little embarrassed: "It is precisely because of the report from the county government that the court lieutenant prison also focuses on these prisoners. However, they want to die with all their hearts, but they will die simply, please rest assured. ”

Feel relieved?

When Director Wang heard this, Rao is temperament has always been generous and gentle, and he couldn't help but want to smash the cup on the case on Bian Dun's face!
