After entering the door, Wang Cai invited Tang Feng and others to a flower hall. After asking them to take their seats, he ordered the servants to bring tea. As for the gifts sent by Gao Ming and the others, he was not even interested in taking them, but only asked someone to accept them, which made Gao Ming and the others a little embarrassed.

After drinking tea and exchanging greetings for a few more words, Tang Feng was about to explain the purpose of his visit when he saw someone walk into the hall and say, "I don't know that the magistrate of Tang's county is coming to the hall and has lost the reception. Please forgive me." As he said that, he bowed to everyone. Tang Feng looked up and found that he was a man in his thirties who looked a bit like Wang Dedao. He immediately guessed that he was the other two sons of the Wang family.

Wang Cai hurriedly introduced, "Mr. Tang, this is the eldest son of my Wang family, Wang Degong." After that, he introduced Tang Feng to Wang Degong to know him. As for the others, they had already known each other and didn't need him to introduce him. Tang Feng also bowed and said, "It turns out that he is the eldest son of the Wang family, and I am disrespectful." Wang Degong didn't dare to say anything.

Seeing him facing his behavior, Tang Feng saw that he was very different from Wang Dedao and seemed very calm. He was surprised at why these two brothers had such different personalities. Tang Feng couldn't help but look at Wang Degong's appearance carefully. He saw that his face was tall and there was a shrewd aura between his eyebrows, which made people easily regard him as a capable person. After making a rough judgment on him, Tang Feng decided not to go around and go straight: "Young Master Wang, I am here to visit the third young master who was injured that day. I wonder what he is now?"

Wang Degong's face darkened a little, and then he said, "My third brother was injured this time, and my father and uncle also paid great attention to this. Today, we are so flattered by the fact that we can get Lord Tang to ask about it." As he said that, he stood up and bowed to thank him.

Seeing that he was speaking sincerely, Tang Feng felt a little more favorable to the eldest son of the Wang family, so he said, "Young Master Wang, don't say that. In fact, this matter has something to do with me. If the Third Young Master was not going to Taibai Tower to welcome me, he would not have gone to Taibai Tower that day, and of course he would not have been hurt. I think I would have to bear certain responsibility for this, and it is also a duty to visit the Third Young Master today. I wonder where he is now, can I let me go and take a look?"

"We understand this... I understand my grandfather's intentions, but my third brother was injured and I really didn't dare to see anyone." Wang Degong said, "And it was a coincidence that my grandfather had taken him to Jiangnan to look for a famous doctor, and now he has left my Huizhou territory."

"What happened to such a miserable thing? That's why I am ashamed. I was late and only thought of coming here today. If Mr. Wang comes back, I will ask the eldest son to apologize to him on my behalf." Tang Feng said with shame on his face.

"Compared with the official affairs in the county, my brother's injury is just a trivial matter. We dare not blame the adults. After the father comes back, I will definitely tell my father about his wishes." Wang Degong said politely.

Seeing the two of them having such a polite conversation, everyone else felt comfortable. Gao Ming and others thought that if the county magistrate could get along with the Wang family in a friendly manner, of course, it would be beneficial but not harmful.

Since the person who wanted to visit was not there, Tang Feng sat for a while and asked to say goodbye and leave, but Wang Degong tried his best to keep him, and asked someone to prepare a banquet and invite these people to have lunch. Tang Feng and others did not have to leave, so they were more respectful than to stay and eat. Then they left the Wang family with the respectful sending of Wang Degong and Wang Cai.

When he saw Tang Feng and others away, the respectful smile on Wang Degong's face disappeared: "Give me instructions and burn all the things used by these people." Then he turned around and went back.

The place as big as the Wang Mansion is divided into two houses, in front, in addition to receiving guests, the residence of the servants, and the house behind is where the Wang family lives. Wang Degong kept heading straight to a very elegant courtyard. When he arrived in front of the door, he slowed down and walked in softly.

However, the people inside heard his footsteps immediately and said, "Is it Gong'er? Why, have those people from the county government left?" Wang Degonghe walked in respectfully and said softly, "Yes, the child treated them well according to his father's instructions and sent them out before he came to see his father."

Wang Degong walked into a very spacious bedroom. A man was standing in front of a bed and looking at a man with a white cloth wrapped around his face, his eyes were full of love, and behind him was a man kneeling. If Tang Feng or answering questions, he would recognize him as the one who made the move that day - Wang Li. But this person who should have good martial arts skills was kneeling there with fear on his face, exactly the same as ordinary people. The man with a white cloth wrapped around the bed was naturally what Wang Degong said had left She County, and the person who was over 60 years old standing in front of the bed was the owner of the Wang family, Wang Wenzheng.

Wang Degong didn't look at Wang Li, and came to Wang Wenzheng and asked softly: "Dad, how is he doing with his third brother?"

"He woke up and cried for a while, and now he fell asleep. Poor San'er, he suffered such injuries." At this point, Wang Wenzheng's face showed a look of pain. It took him a while to recover and asked, "You have already seen those people. In your opinion, is the new county magistrate who is like he said, who is the murderer who is like this?" As he spoke, Wang Wenzheng glanced at Wang Li who was kneeling behind him.

"In the eyes of the boy, the magistrate of Tang does not seem to have such great ability. Although his body is not as weak as an ordinary scholar, he is not as good as a person with unique skills. He can hide it from Wang Li's eyes when he takes action."

"So he is pushing the responsibility of the Commission?" Wang Wenzheng looked at Wang Li motionless as he spoke, which made Wang Li's back full of cold sweat, because he knew that if it was presumed that it was his own that the Third Young Master had suffered such severe injuries, he was afraid that his life would not be saved.

Wang Degong said: "Although it may not be him who hurt his third brother, I am sure this matter must be inseparable from him."

"Oh? How do you say this?"

"In the eyes of Chiaer, after this month, it would be impossible for Tang Feng to say that my Wang family's reputation here would not be possible. And he clearly saw his third brother being injured with his own eyes. If an ordinary county magistrate was afraid he would come to visit him in person the next day, but he waited until today, which was very abnormal. It seemed that he had a guilty heart and delayed it until now.

"In the past, the county magistrate always wanted to get some benefits when visiting, but he didn't mention these words today. I think it was because he had a ghost in his heart that he couldn't speak. And what he came today should be to test our thoughts so that we would blame him if we blamed him. So the child dared to assert that even if it was not the good one he sent, it would have nothing to do with him. And even if it was not his instructor, the third brother was injured because of him, and we should also count this account on his head." Wang Degong analyzed carefully.

After hearing these words, Wang Li felt much more at ease. He didn't want to lose his life. But he also knew that his misfortune and fortune were actually still between Wang Wenzheng's words, so he concentrated on waiting for his words. Wang Wenzheng said after a while: "You are right. San'er's words became like this because of him. Although your second brother and Wencheng went around to find famous doctors, the injury may not be cured. Our Wang family can't forget it. What do you think we can do to make San'er relieve this tone?"

"If you want your third brother to calm down, the only way is to let Tang Feng die. But as a court official, if we attack him, it will be difficult for people to not notice it. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty's laws are famous, and harming the court official is regarded as a rebellion. Although the third uncle is in charge of the court, we are afraid that we cannot take responsibility for the crime of rebellion." Wang Degong said carefully.

"What should we do? Should we let him be here? I'm afraid that San'er will really be depressed and die of depression. You are his brother, how can you not think of a solution for him?" Wang Wenzheng turned his head and looked at his eldest son and asked.

When his father saw this, Wang Degong couldn't help but shivered. Wang Degong has not been loved by his father since he was a child, so he has been afraid of his father since he was a child. However, this third brother is the father's flesh and gives him whatever he wants. This time, when Wang Dedao went to see Tang Feng, Wang Degong felt threatened. To be honest, Wang Degong was still a little happy in his heart. Of course, this idea cannot be known to his father, so he has always been very concerned about his younger brother. Now that he saw that his father was actually angry about his own words, Wang Degong couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, but he knew that he was not favored by his father, so he naturally didn't dare to say anything, but just thought of a solution.

After thinking for a while, Wang Degong said, "Father, it's not difficult to kill Tang Feng, as long as he is no longer an official of the court."

"What method?" Wang Wenzheng asked immediately.

"It seems that in your eyes, I am just an aide and a housekeeper, and you have never regarded me as your own son." Wang Degong complained in his heart, but said in his mouth: "The most important thing for a county magistrate is to pay the annual tax bank. If it is insufficient, it will be questioned by his superiors. Now half of the land in She County is in our hands. If we don't let those farmers pay taxes, then how can Tang Feng complete the annual tax bank? Then let his third uncle say hello in the capital, and Tang Feng's official position will naturally be gone. At that time, we will send people apart from him, which will save a lot of trouble."

"Okay, I will do all this as you said. In order to vent my anger on San'er, I dare to do anything!"
