Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

After moving out of the barracks, the movement became much more free, and naturally there was more contact with news about the outside world.After shopkeeper Wang returned to the capital, he heard that Wang Xiujin was in an ambush, so he rushed over immediately. He didn't expect that after coming here, he couldn't see anyone, so he could only wait in the city. The three of them were fine, so they let out a breath.

When Wang Xiujin saw shopkeeper Wang, he thought that something had happened to the store in the capital. After asking, he realized that shopkeeper Wang was worried about him. Here, what's on his mind, he's not worried about the shops and workshops under his name, but the people who are jealous of his money.

Shopkeeper Wang immediately responded, and regardless of what time it was, he packed his bags and left the city to return to Beijing.Li Sushan was worried that some people would not give up, so he sent a team to protect shopkeeper Wang back to Beijing.

The fourth prince sits here, and the speed of the city guard is really fast, but after running out for a while, he didn't find anything, and when he reported back to the fourth prince, his face turned red with embarrassment.On the Yamen side, the magistrate sent people to search every household, no matter whether they had a house or passed by, none of the houses were left behind, and the one who was caught was tried again and again by the magistrate. People are going to die, but still no useful information is asked.

When the magistrate came over, he didn't bring any useful news, but he made a guess, would the people who wanted to attack Wang Huangshang run away after the people they sent were arrested?The city guard immediately retorted that it was absolutely impossible. The soldiers of the city guard strictly checked the people who came and went, and it was impossible for them to let go of suspicious people.

"What if the instigator has never entered the city? Does he live in a nearby village?" Li Sushan looked at the city guard and the magistrate.

The fourth prince's round eyes widened, and he looked at the two of them. Although he didn't say anything, they almost didn't kneel down.How could the two dare to delay, and ran out to search again. Li Sushan and Wang Xiujin felt that the messenger might have left long ago, and it was impossible to stay here and look for opportunities. Finding someone is like finding a needle in a haystack.It is useless to find people and draw pictures, and post them everywhere. If that person has ruined his appearance, who can recognize him?

This matter has become an unsolved case?Hearing Li Sushan say that it was difficult to catch the original culprit, the fourth prince felt depressed. Li Sushan and his wife helped him so much, but now they encountered troubles but failed to catch the real culprit, which made him feel very guilty, especially uncomfortable.But thinking of the statement made by Wang Xiujin before, the fourth prince couldn't sit still, he was struggling and hesitant.

"This person is quite tolerant. I'm afraid he should find a place to hide, or leave for Beijing earlier." Thinking of the label on that person's head, Wang Xiujin wanted to find him in order to avoid future troubles, but reality It is not allowed. If that gentleman really intends to sway the imperial power as he guessed, he can no longer stay, and even his students will have to be cleaned up. The court may undergo a major shake-up.

The fourth prince was silent for a long time, heaved a long sigh, got up and stabilized, then bent his body slightly towards the two of them, frightened Li Sushan and Wang Xiujin quickly turned sideways.The fourth prince said, "Brother, I'm sorry for you! After this matter is over, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack, and I have to find that person." After the fourth prince finished speaking, he asked people to prepare to leave for Beijing tomorrow.

When Wang Xiujin and Li Sushan returned to the room, they didn't talk about the day's affairs. They knew in their hearts what it means to put the overall situation first. If the court is in chaos, no matter how high their status is, no matter how much money they have, it will be useless.

The speed of returning to the capital is not slow, and the shopkeeper Wang who returned to the capital the day before arrived in the capital. When the eldest son of the fourth prince said goodbye to Yachang, he was very reluctant to let go. Wang Wang, if it wasn't for the fact that the fourth prince Nian was just such a child with Li Sushan and Wang Xiujin, and he felt guilty for not catching the murderer, he might have asked Yachang to come into the palace to accompany his son.

Returning to the mansion, Wang Xiujin heaved a sigh of relief, but fortunately the fourth prince didn't speak, otherwise he might risk his life to refuse the proposal to let his son enter the palace.Seeing his little father's appearance, Yachang also followed suit solemnly, making Wang Xiujin dumbfounded, wanting to raise his hand to poke his son's little head, but seeing his son's appearance, he couldn't do it, so he could only smile.

Yachang felt that he had to stay far away from that little emperor's grandson in the future, he didn't want to go to the palace to be an accompanying student or something, then he would lose his freedom, and hoped that the little emperor's grandson's memory would not be too good, and he would be forgotten in a few days.

The fourth prince returned to the palace in a hurry and told what Wang Xiujin had guessed. The emperor's face turned dark. Lord Xuan went into the palace to investigate. Those officials in the central axis must be strictly investigated. If he wins, he would rather be scolded as a tyrant by later generations than let the imperial power be snatched away.

Mr. Wang hurried over, and before he could kneel down to salute, he was given a seat by the emperor, and before he could open his mouth, he listened to the emperor's words pouring out like pearls one after another. After listening for a while, Mr. Wang finally understood, The son had just returned to Beijing, and before he saluted and greeted him, he caused trouble, but Mr. Wang felt that his son's guess was a bit false. "Reporting to the emperor, the dog is just guessing wildly, and it can't be true. He said that these officials are really trying to evade the imperial power. Then, after the matter is completed, the gentleman who gave the advice will not be able to enter the court or be an official. What good will it do him?"

"If one person ascends the throne, then that person is the Taifu."

"Your Majesty, this statement is wrong. Those officials are all civil servants. They are fine when it comes to governing the country, but they can't do it when it comes to building a country. Without military power, it doesn't matter how high they jump?" Lord Wang bowed again. , "The dog doesn't understand government affairs, and he is frightened by the wicked, so Fang thinks wildly and magnifies the matter. His words are a bit alarmist."

After listening to Lord Wang's words, the emperor found it reasonable, and then laughed loudly, "I was also frightened by the emperor's anxious tone, and even ignored these, thanks to Lord Wang's carefulness, but those people still have to investigate, my country and society Don't tolerate others pointing fingers."

In the end, he was still afraid that Jiangshan would be missed by others, Lord Wang complied obediently, but he sighed at the emperor's suspicion in his heart.After leaving the palace, Mr. Wang sent a servant to call his son back to the mansion. He had to think about this matter carefully. He guessed randomly that it meant several lives.

Wang Xiujin was at Wang's house at this time, and when he learned that his mother didn't know about his distress, he smiled, greeted his mother, and talked about what happened back to Wang Village, who had children and grandchildren, who married a daughter-in-law , or when the old man of any household passed away, Mrs. Wang was listening and thinking about that family. Although she seldom went out when she was in Wangcun, she remembered the seniority of her relatives in Wangcun. When the most vicious old man passed away, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but sighed, "I don't want to think about it when the person is gone. Can you burn a few pieces of paper?"

"I went to the old ancestral hall to burn papers for him, and I didn't let Li Sushan and Yachang go there." Wang Xiujin felt that the relationship between the two families was not very good. .

Mrs. Wang nodded and said nothing.Afterwards, Wang Xiujin told some interesting things, Mrs. Wang would also laugh out loud when she heard something interesting, Wang Xiujin chatted with his mother, and after a while, a servant came in to report that the master was back.Mrs. Wang was a little surprised, "Why did you come back so early today, did you know you were here?"

Mr. Wang stepped in, saw his youngest son sitting beside his wife, and saw his wife's smiling face, suppressing the anger in his heart.

"What's the matter, who made you angry." Mrs. Wang was in a good mood because her son came over, and she asked jokingly when she saw her husband's face not looking too good.

"Some people talk without thinking and get angry." Mr. Wang sat down, raised the cup in his hand, and didn't even give his son a look.

Wang Xiujin blinked, why did he feel that his father's words were referring to him?Mrs. Wang looked at her husband, why did she feel that there was something in the master's words.

"Mother, should I talk to my father?" Because of what his father said, the atmosphere in the room was a little off. Since Wang Xiujin felt that his father's words were aimed at him, he must have something to say to him, so he opened his mouth.

Mrs. Wang looked at her son, then looked at her husband, she didn't think much of it, she only thought that her husband was annoyed by the yamen. "Sure, please persuade your father, I'll ask the kitchen to make you some chicken soup, and I'll go back after drinking it." Mrs. Wang got up while talking, and she didn't forget to pat her son's hand before going out.

After Mrs. Wang went out, Mr. Wang put the teacup heavily on the table, and said "Kneel down!"

Although Wang Xiujin didn't know what mistake he had made, he knelt down as he said.Then he listened to his father talk about what he heard after entering the palace and how he responded. Then Father Wang changed the subject and pointed the finger at him.After Wang Xiujin heard how his father responded to the emperor's words, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and smiled bitterly in his heart. He has stayed in this era for more than 20 years and still hasn't adapted to the social system. . "My son knows he was wrong."

"My father has always thought that you are the most prudent, but he didn't want to make such a low-level mistake. Fortunately, not many people know about it. Bury with you." Lord Wang sighed after finishing speaking. "How long can I protect you as a father?"

Wang Xiujin could hear many emotions from his father's sigh. "My son knows his mistake." He apologized again, this time with a lot more emotion than the last apology.

"Okay, don't be reckless in the future." Seeing his son's appearance, Master Wang suppressed the words that came to his lips, and raised his hand to help the younger son up. The younger son was always at ease in his heart, but think about it, He appeared for his younger son more times than his eldest son, and the one who was most at ease was the one who worried the most.
