Chapter Seventy-Five: I Want to Be Punished First (II)

At the beginning of June, outside the window, the sound of cicadas continued.

Wang Hongyi leaned back on the hard chair, half-squinted, listening to Yu Liangbo's report, but his mind gradually flew away, and he calculated the time, and now at this time, he met Prince Huerbo in his previous life.

It was this coincidence that established the trade road, and gave this Khurbo the secret of the thunder car, which led to the Hu people having siege weapons in the future.

In this life, will Huerbo come to Shuzhong, and if he comes, will he come here?

“...... Judging from the amount of taxes paid last month, Wenyang County has increased, and the tax situation in various places has also increased, only the tax payment in Wenyang Fucheng last month was 1,500 taels of silver and 66 horses of cloth more than the previous month...... Lord?" Yu Liangbo was looking down and reading the tax summary, and suddenly felt that the person in front of him was too quiet, and when he looked up, the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched slightly.

I saw that behind the desk in front of me, the person who had listened with half-squinted eyes before was now leaning back in the chair, his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.

"Lord?" Fu called softly, seeing that the other party still had no reaction, Yu Liangbo had to sigh helplessly, although the summer is hot, but it will not be like this

didn't say anything more, but stood up, picked up a robe of Wang Hongyi on the side, walked over and put it on the lord, this party packed up the paperwork, and wanted to turn around and leave.

"Liangbo, tomorrow I plan to inspect the manor thirty miles outside the city, if there is anything, you can send someone there to find me. Suddenly a voice came from behind him.

"How long is the lord going to stay there?" Yu Liangbo paused when he heard the command, turned around, and asked.

Wang Hongyi had already straightened up, pulled the robe on his body inward, and said, "I will stay for a few days, the current situation in Fucheng is stable, there are not many things, it is suitable to go out and go around." This manor is a private manor that I built earlier, and it is part of the private income, and I have not been there in person since it was built, which is a bit negligent. Take advantage of this opportunity to go there and have a look, stay for a few days, not far from the capital city, presumably it is convenient to find something. ”

Yu Liangbo thought about it carefully, and there was indeed nothing wrong with it, but he just reminded: "Even so, the lord needs to be cautious when traveling, and don't wear white dragon fish suits." ”

"It's nature. When the time comes, they will bring a battalion of guards and go with them. Wang Hongyi said.

That being the case, Yu Liangbo has nothing to worry about.

"By the way, have you ever paid attention to the foreign trade that you paid attention to last time?" Wang Hongyi suddenly asked.

"After the lord mentioned it, his subordinates asked people to pay attention to this matter, and there has been no relevant news, presumably there are no foreign caravans passing by in the county. Yu Liangbo replied.

Hearing this, Wang Hongyi was silent for a moment and said, "It's nothing." You go down first, and from tomorrow onwards, you will take care of some daily affairs for me in the house, and if there is anything important that cannot be decided, you will send someone to call me back." ”

"No. Yu Liangbo took the order.

Early the next morning, when Wang Hongyi was dressed in civilian clothes and walked out of the city surrounded by guards, Yu Liangbo was already sitting in the general's mansion and handling daily affairs.

On this trip, Wang Hongyi brought it with him, and it was the first battalion of black-clothed guards, with a total of 100 people, and the battalion was He Yi.

This group of people, judging from their clothing and equipment, is not high-profile, but only gives people a feeling of aristocratic travel, and there are no incidents on the road.

Seeing that this group of people soon left the palace city and ran on the road leading to the manor.

He Yi reined in the horse at this time, and the speed was full.

"General, do you need to send someone to inform the director of the Grand View Garden and wait for your arrival at the gate of the garden?" He Yi came to Wang Hongyi's side and asked softly.

"It doesn't have to be that way. Inspecting the manor is casual. The purpose of Wang Hongyi's visit was not to inspect the manor, but since he went, he naturally would not let go of the opportunity to inspect: "If they get the news first, then when they get there, what they see is not easy to be true, understand?"

Glancing at He Yi, Wang Hongyi said.

He Yi nodded, and said no more.

The cavalry continued to advance, and the destination was the Grand View Garden, recalling the name, Wang Hongyi pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a chuckle.

This name was originally his bad taste, but I don't know if the manor here is still the same as in his previous life after changing its name.

In this life, there have been many private estates placed by Wang Hongyi, most of which are managed by the two ladies.

Only this manor is the only manor directly under his disposal.

Not only has it never been assigned to the names of the two ladies, but the matters that are taken care of on weekdays are handed over to a few directors who have been promoted by themselves to deal with it, and they have never been pretended to be in the hands of others.

Song Xinyou once inquired about this manor, but Wang Hongyi was perfunctory on official grounds.

Although it attaches great importance to it, Wang Hongyi has not been there in person since the day it was built, and this is the first time he has gone there.

In addition to inspecting, he went to the Grand View Garden this time for another purpose.

"General, you have arrived at the gate of the Grand View Garden, do you want to send someone to call the door?" After walking for a while, and finally arrived at the place, He Yi came to Wang Hongyi and asked in a low voice.

"Okay, let's go somebody. Wang Hongyi retracted his thoughts and nodded and said.

When I looked up, a pole **** garden had appeared in front of me.

Because the drawings were finalized by Wang Hongyi himself, the scene of this manor is no different from the manor here in the previous life.

From the outside, you can't really see the inside, a high wall, enclosing the entire garden in it, in the main gate, there is a **** garden pattern.

On the whole, this is just an ordinary Zhuangzi, which is exactly what Wang Hongyi wants.

At this time, someone had already stepped forward to call the door, and the closed gate was photographed by the sound of the mountain, and Wang Hongyi was watching not far away, because there was an official road nearby, and occasionally pedestrians passed by, and they would glance at this group of people curiously.

Passers-by were watching them, and Wang Hongyi was also observing this group of people, but after looking at them for a while, he withdrew his gaze with all interest.

At this time, there was already movement on the manor.

"This is the general's Zhuangzi, who are you, why are you banging on the gate?"

However, the man glanced out and saw that there were so many people outside, all of them in fresh clothes and angry horses, he was suddenly startled, and immediately slammed the door shut, and then asked inside: "Who are you waiting for?"

"This man is not bold. Wang Hongyi said with some amusement.

Then, he motioned to a congratulatory friend: "You go and explain to him our identity." ”

"Yes, General. At the signal of Wang Hongyi, He Yi got off his horse, walked to the side door, and told the identity of the group.

I heard that General Dingyuan came in person, and the people inside were really frightened this time, and said in a trembling voice inside: "Please, please wait for a while, and the little one will report to the principal." ”

As soon as the sound fell, the footsteps went into the distance.

Wang Hongyi and everyone waited on the horse, and after a while, the gate of the manor opened again, but this time it was the middle door.

A group of people came out of it, led by the middle-aged man, who immediately relaxed when he saw Wang Hongyi with a nervous expression.

Immediately ran a few steps forward and saluted Wang Hongyi: "Zhang Jian, I've seen the general." ”

"Zhang Jian, right? I haven't seen you for a long time, but you're blessed. Okay, get up, I'll come here this time, first, to see the situation of Zhuangzi, and second, to ask you something, you have been here for more than a year, and you are most familiar with the situation inside, so you will lead the way. Arrange accommodation for them as well, and this time, let alone a few days. Wang Hongyi got off the horse, looked at the Zhuangzi in front of him, and said to the principal.

Zhang Jian hurriedly got up and said cautiously: "General, don't worry, the small one will be arranged." ”

"Yes. Wang Hongyi didn't want to say more here, but just sighed.

Seeing this, Zhang Jian didn't dare to say more, led the way in front, and introduced this group of people into the park. As soon as they entered the main entrance, the entourage held their breath and were attracted by the scenery of the manor.

At this time, it is summer, but in this manor, the flowers are blooming like spring, the fragrant wind is gusting, and there is no sense of cool summer.

Walking on the gravel paved road, the cool feeling is still very strong, this place is really a good place to escape the heat.

After entering the manor, Zhang Jian was busy and found a place for the pedestrians.

Wang Hongyi is the most elegant courtyard in the park, which is extremely clean, and you can move in directly without special tidying.

It's just that after staying here, Wang Hongyi called someone to call the director Zhang Jian, and after asking some questions, let him leave. Subsequently, he ordered someone to call the deputy director, a person named Wang Pin.

This person is Wang Hongyi's confidant arranged here, and he is also a member of the Wang family.

"General, do you call me?" Wang Pinchang's facial features are upright, and he looks honest, but he is actually an extremely delicate person.

After coming in, he first saluted Wang Hongyi and said respectfully: "General, if there is something wrong with the arrangement, the small one will do it immediately." ”

"If that's not the case, I'm very satisfied with the arrangement here. I'm looking for you, there's something wrong. Let me ask you, before I sent you here, I had a deep talk with you once, and I told you again and again that you have paid attention to it for more than a year?" Wang Hongyi took the teacup from the table and said while sipping tea.

When Wang Pin heard this, his face suddenly turned pale, although he did do this seriously, there was no result so far, his face was ashamed, he pleaded guilty and said: "General, the small one is not good, and so far I have not found the trace of the caravan you are referring to, please punish the small one." ”

"Haven't you been here yet?" Wang Hongyi said, touching his chin.

Seeing Wang Pin's ugly face, Wang Hongyi smiled faintly and said, "It's good for you to pay attention to this matter, as long as you do it seriously, there will be news." In the next few days, I will be patrolling the area, and if there is news, I will report it to me privately, so I don't have to say anything, understand?"

"The little one understands. Although Wang Pin didn't know why he attached so much importance to a caravan of the Hu people, he immediately responded.
