2673 Chapter 2673-all dead
When fatty Wang arrived in Tongzhou, it was not yet noon.
Because the East and West escort agency was heading directly to the pier, it wasn’t on the way to the Yamen. Fatty Wang got off at the fork in the road. After bidding farewell to the East and West escort agency, he called a carriage and rushed home.
Originally, they wanted to send him off, but he thought that there was still a long way to go. The main streets of Tongzhou Prefecture were very lively during the day. The escort team was quite long and it was quite troublesome, so he did not let them send him off.
When he walked to the entrance of the Yamen, he saw many bailiffs coming and going in a hurry. The bad feeling in his heart became even stronger. He quickly grabbed a bailiff and said,”Tan laoqi, what happened at the Yamen?”
He was the son of the magistrate, so he knew the names of quite a few bailiffs in the local government.
However, his appearance had completely changed, and no one could recognize him.
Tan laoqi glanced at fatty Wang, frowned and wanted to shake him off, but he felt that the person in front of him was a little familiar, so he said impatiently, ” “Something happened. Did you come to the Yamen for something? The Yamen is a little busy today. If the matter is not urgent, please come back later.”
Fatty Wang’s heart was even more flustered, he pulled on tan laoqi and did not let go, ” “What happened? Where’s my father?”
I’m not your father, ” tan laoqi said. how would I know your father? ”
Fatty Wang was so angry that he wanted to hit someone. He suddenly thought that the other party might not have recognized him, so he explained,”It’s me, Wang Shoucheng, the son of your Lord Wang.”
Tan laoqi was speechless.
He opened his eyes wide and looked at fatty Wang in disbelief.
Fatty Wang said,”quickly say it!” Didn’t I just not come back for half a year? What, you don’t recognize me anymore? Where did my father go? Why is there no order at all in the Yamen?”
After he finished speaking, he took out the jade pendant that he often wore and shook it. “You should recognize this, right?”
Tan laoqi looked at it. Sure enough, it was something that their young master often wore. Then, his face changed.”Young master, why did you come back alone? Didn’t they meet Constable Jin and the others? This morning, Constable Jin brought his men to the capital to pick you up.”
Fatty Wang said, ” I set off in the afternoon the day before yesterday. However, there was a problem with my carriage on the way, so I stayed in a small village for the night. It was raining heavily yesterday, so I couldn’t walk. I only rushed back today. What had happened? You want uncle Jin to personally go to the capital?”
Tan laoqi looked around, then pulled fatty Wang behind the stone lion next to the Yamen gate and said, ” “Young master, I heard from Constable Jin that you’ve followed general Lu and Princess Xinxin and received military training. I think you’re both physically and mentally well, right?”
Fatty Wang’s uneasiness grew stronger, and he looked at tan laoqi with a frown.
Tan laoqi said, ” yesterday, Your Excellency took a break. He took old Madam, young lady, and the young master to eat vegetarian at Hongyuan temple. This morning, the Masters of the temple came. They said that Your Excellency and the others were all killed.
Tan laoqi looked at fatty Wang carefully.
Fatty Wang didn’t seem to understand and asked, ” “What do you mean by encounter?”
Tan laoqi whispered, ” Lord Wang, old Madam, old Madam, young lady, young master, and the maidservants and servants at home are all dead. No one survived.
Fatty Wang staggered back a few steps, and tan laoqi quickly supported him, ” “Young master, my condolences! Lord Xu has already sent Constable Jin to the capital to report this to the higher authorities. Now, Lord Xu has ordered the bailiffs to take control of the Hongyuan temple. Young master, do you want to rest for a while or go over now?”
