Chapter 11 First time to the Wang family ()

While eating, Tang Feng and Hu Lie talked about the matters in the county. Tang Feng unconsciously mentioned what he heard in the teahouse that day and asked casually: "I heard that the waiter said that the yamen had issued a clear text to prevent the people from causing trouble. Is there any such thing?"

Hu Lie smiled and said, "Your Madam is right, this is also the rule in our county. In order to make the newly appointed county magistrate have a good impression of the people in the yamen, they will greet some of the dilapidated houses in the county early in the morning. In addition, like wine shops, teahouses, etc., they also have to agree, not specifically to deal with the adults."

Tang Feng frowned, disagreed with this behavior, but he couldn't say anything. Suddenly he remembered something again and said, "Then why did the Wang family interfere in this matter? They are not people in the yamen. According to what the waiter said, the Wang family's words are more effective than the county yamen."

"The Lord has been in She County for a short time, so of course he didn't know the power of the Wang family, so he asked this question. In fact, the Wang family not only occupies nearly half of the land in She County, but many people have to act according to their eyes. Even Huizhou Prefecture has people with them. I heard that there are also people from their Wang family in the court, so no one dares to provoke them. Once the county government has any government orders to be promulgated, most of them have greeted them. I think this time it was because of them that they also issued words at the same time." Hu Lie said.

He said something lightly, but Tang Feng felt a little nervous when he heard it. From this, he could hear that the power of the Wang family had already overwhelmed the county government. With an ordinary landlord or businessman who could have such great energy, Tang Feng had to re-examine the Wang family. He had seen or heard about the fact that many local governments and powerful people were united, and this would only be the people. Therefore, Tang Feng immediately changed his goal from the sloppy official in the county government to the Wang family. But Tang Feng also knew that the Wang family was not simple and could not be dealt with by himself, so he asked tentatively: "What is the reputation of this Wang family in my She County? Is there any unkind behavior of being prosperous and unkind?"

"It's not that there is no such thing." Hu Lie said, "but because their main focus is on the mansion now, they are pretty good to the people in our county. In addition, although they don't take our small county government seriously, they know that this is their roots, and they dare not be too arrogant. If there is anything that the county government needs, they can help."

Tang Feng nodded, knowing that the Wang family is at least still peaceful here, so there is no need to really go against this powerful family, as long as they don’t make things difficult for them. Thinking of the Wang family, Tang Feng suddenly remembered the last thing at the reception that day and asked: “Do you know what happened to the third son of the Wang family that day?”

"Why don't you know?" Hu Lie looked at Tang Feng with some strangeness and asked, meaning that he should know about this. Tang Feng shook his head: "I have been busy familiarizing myself with the affairs of the county government since that day, and have been busy reading some documents and scribes, and have not been released from the county government government yet. And those servants have not mentioned this matter in front of me, so I still don't know about this matter until today."

Hu Lie sighed and said, "The third young master of the Wang family, Wang Dedao, was originally a famous jade-faced young man in the county. Many ladies from wealthy families admired him. Unexpectedly, a pot of soup that day caused more than ten handsome faces to be burned, and now it is beyond recognition. Although the Wang family has great wealth and sent people to hire many famous doctors, they can only heal his injuries faster, but the scars on his face cannot be healed."

Tang Feng was also stunned. He could not have thought that the move to relieve his confusion had such serious consequences. However, when he thought about it, this was true. Even modern with advanced technology, it was a very troublesome thing to destroy his appearance, or to have skin grafts or plastic surgery. But now it is the Ming Dynasty, and doctors now do not have such superb surgical skills. Of course, the consequences are like this. Tang Feng couldn't help feeling guilty when he thought of a handsome young man who turned into this appearance, but he also thought of what he said about solving the confusion. He knew that they were the ones who wanted to plot against him first. If he did not rescue him, he was the one who was injured. The little guilt that just aroused in his heart became pleasure again. Tang Feng never called himself a gentleman, nor was he used to repaying grievances with kindness.

Seeing Tang Feng not speaking, he frowned slightly at first, but then smiled. Hu Lie had no idea what he was thinking, so he reminded: "Sir, many major events in our county must be supported by the Wang family. As the county magistrate, since he knows that the third young master of the Wang family is injured, should he go and visit him? Otherwise, this would be unreasonable in terms of face."

Tang Feng didn't wake up until he heard his words. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "You are right. Now the matter in the county government has been settled. I can go and check him out and go out for a walk. Then I will set it on the day after tomorrow. Then call Gao County Chief Master and Master Tian, ​​and we will go together." Hu Lie naturally said yes.

The next day, Tang Feng expressed his intention to go to the Wang family to visit Wang Dedao. Gao Ming and others already knew the power of the new county magistrate, so they naturally did not dare to go against his intentions, so they nodded and agreed. However, when Tang Feng told the decision to solve the problem, he was a little worried: "Young Master, although I was very careful that I took action that day, and those people probably couldn't notice it, they should be able to guess that it was our hands and feet. Now that Wang Dedao has suffered such serious injuries, I am afraid that they will hold a grudge against the young master even more. I'm afraid it will be very dangerous to go tomorrow."

Tang Feng said, "I don't think so. Although they have doubts about me, no one has seen it with his own eyes. How can I insist that I was hurting him? And no matter how brave I am, these Wang family members dare not hurt me openly, right? Although I know that they are very powerful, they cannot cover up the sky, so it shouldn't matter if I go. And if I do not hide, it will arouse the suspicion of the Wang family, confirming that I am the one who hurts their young master. So for reason, I have to go to the Wang family." Speaking of this, Tang Feng looked at him again and explained, "Besides, with you by my side, I think it's not that easy for them to hurt me, right?"

After solving the problem, I felt a little worried about Tang Feng. After hearing what he said, I was not afraid: "If they really dared to be unfavorable to the young master, I would definitely kill them all, no matter who they are, what kind of backing in the court!"

Tang Feng nodded with a smile. Although he had enough skills to solve the doubts in his heart, he could not be able to be with dozens or even hundreds of servants of the Wang family. The reason why he said this just now was just a joke.

On the morning of April 17, Tang Feng, Gao Ming, Tian Jing, Hu Lie, and five people left the county government and headed to the west of the county town where the Wang family was. There were also several porters behind them, carrying some gifts, but these were prepared by Gao Ming and Tian Jing. Tang Feng was very dissatisfied with this. In his opinion, it was already a big deal for officials to see a commoner, so why should they give them any gifts?

Along the way, Tang Feng slowly admired the scenery of the countryside, and felt very happy. Looking at the blue sky, green plants, clear river water, and smelling the air with a slight fragrance of grass and soil, he only felt that he was in a fairyland. Although his previous life was in a small county town, he had never seen such a scene without any pollution. Looking at the relaxing scenery here, Tang Feng, a not an environmentalist, also felt a little emotional: "Is it a good thing for people to develop technology? Is it a pro or a disadvantage to destroying the environment for a good life?" But then he threw this ridiculous idea behind his mind and just focused on enjoying the beautiful scenery.

After turning a ridge in front, Gao Ming pointed to a manor in the distance and said, "Sir, there is the manor of the Wang family in front. Should I ask someone to go over and report it first? Otherwise, we will have to wait outside for a while?"

Tang Feng looked at it with great eyes and found that the manor was not ordinary, covering an area of ​​dozens of acres. From a distance, there were many pavilions and towers. He couldn't help but look at it a little dazzled. Tang Feng thought that even if the Wang family had a great power in the county and how powerful it was, they were just a wealthy family, and they lived in a large mansion. But now it seemed that their residence was a village, and their power was obviously much greater than what he thought.

But since he arrived, Tang Feng could not turn around, so he said, "Okay, let a porter go up and report it, let's go slowly here."

The group then took a breath on the ridge and calculated the time that the people in the Wang family had already known about their news, so they set off again and rushed to the Wang family.

Tang Feng took advantage of the rest time to help solve the problem and said, "From the size of this Wang family mansion, I'm afraid there are no less than hundreds of people living there. You said yesterday that you would kill all the people. I wonder if you have such great strength?"

When I solved the problem, I was very happy to see Tang Feng's relaxed look and said casually: "If the young master really wants me to kill, I will naturally not be lenient. Although it is a little troublesome to kill these many people, it will not take much effort."

Tang Feng smiled and thought that solving the problem was bragging, and he didn't take it seriously. While they were talking, they came to the main entrance of the Wang family mansion. There was a man standing between the two huge stone lions placed at the door waiting for them. Seeing Tang Feng coming, the man hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Mr. Tang can come to my Wang family, really make our place shine."

When Tang Feng saw it, he saw Wang Cai that he had seen that day, and he also smiled and said, "The butler is humble. How can the Wang family mansion be so grand? "

Wang Cai was stunned. Unexpectedly, the county magistrate spoke so straightforwardly. After a while, he smiled: "Sir, please!" As he said that, he reached out and led him back. Tang Feng was not humble and strode towards the gate.

Tian Jing and the others behind him couldn't help but feel a little worried when they saw Tang Feng's actions, not knowing why he suddenly acted like this.
