Tang Yuan left the county government and walked on the way home, thinking back to what happened just now, as well as that Hou Ze's cousin, the more Tang Yuan thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

"Oh no!" Tang Yuan suddenly realized something, shouted, and quickly ran towards his porcelain kiln.

After Tang Yuan, who was in a hurry, rushed to the porcelain kiln, he pulled the manager of the porcelain kiln and asked repeatedly: "Where is Lao Wang?"

"Lao Wang? Oh! Lao Wang asked for leave yesterday and said that there was something at home, so he didn't come to work, and it seems that he didn't come back today. The steward was pulled by the owner and was in pain, and hurriedly recalled.

"Oh no! Sure enough, it's here!" Tang Yuan's heart skipped when he heard the steward's answer.

"The owner, what are you looking for Lao Wang?" the steward saw the owner's anxious look and asked hurriedly.

"Quick! send someone to Lao Wang's house to get him back!" Tang Yuan yelled anxiously at the steward.

The person in charge also knew that something big must have happened, so he hurriedly pulled a few guys and asked them to go to Lao Wang's house.

"Where is the place where Lao Wang usually puts his things? Take me quickly!" Tang Yuan pulled the steward and walked towards the place where the craftsmen usually rested in the porcelain kiln, where the craftsmen's usual personal belongings would be placed.

The steward took Tang Yuan to a wooden cabinet, pointed to the wooden cabinet and said to Tang Yuan: "Owner, this is Lao Wang's cabinet, the lock on it is made by Lao Wang himself, and the key is only owned by Lao Wang." ”

"Smash him away!" After Tang Yuan finished speaking, he looked around for tools to take advantage of, and just saw a hammer in the hands of the nearby craftsman, so he snatched it up and slammed it against the lock on the wooden cabinet.

That lock was just an ordinary padlock, where could it withstand Tang Yuan's fierce blow, and it was smashed to the ground after a while.

Opening the door of the wooden cabinet with trembling hands, and seeing the few remaining grains of gray-white powder in the cabinet, Tang Yuan couldn't help but feel dizzy, and the last trace of hope was shattered, Tang Yuan's whole person seemed to be emptied, and he fell to the ground in despair.

At this time, the two young men who had gone to Lao Wang's house also came back and reported to the steward and the owner that Lao Wang's house was empty.

Lao Wang is a widower, his family lives on the edge of the porcelain kiln, usually Tang Yuan will let him help watch the porcelain kiln, this time he will hand over the finished Qingbai porcelain bowl and the kaolin necessary for the manufacture of Qingbai porcelain to him for safekeeping, I didn't expect ......

"Hehe, I'm a widower, where did I get any family affairs! Blame me, blame me......" After Tang Yuan heard the report, he muttered to himself, and the person in charge finally understood what was going on.

Lao Wang mysteriously disappeared, and the kaolin collected by the owner was also missing, which shows that the owner's newly fired porcelain caused the incident.

When the depressed Tang Yuan was sent home by the craftsmen, his wife Tang and daughter Xue Jue were taken aback.

When Tang Yuan intermittently explained things clearly under the pressure of the two, the two also realized that things were not good.

"Daddy, can you show that drawing to your daughter?" Tang Xueying deserved to be a smart child, and immediately grasped the point.

"Alas...... If you want to see it, you can see it......" Tang Yuan sighed.

Tang Xuejun took the drawing and looked at it carefully.

"Daddy, this pattern is not something that ordinary people can use! This seems to be a pattern that can only be used by royal families, right?" Tang Xuexue has also studied with her mother for a few years, and her knowledge of the outside world is not small.

"That's right, so this is the trickiest thing!" Tang Yuan shook his head and said, "Looking at the resolute appearance of the county lord, you know that this thing has an extraordinary origin, and I'm afraid it is not something that he can touch with a small county order, and there must be more terrifying people behind the county lord!"

Tang Yuan is worthy of being a well-informed person, and in the blink of an eye, he realized that such a thing was not just a small county order!

"Daddy really can't burn this thing?" Xue Jue asked, if Daddy could burn things out, everything would be fine, even if something big happened, it wouldn't involve him.

"A few days ago, Daddy would have been able to make it with some effort, but now...... Alas......" Tang Yuan sighed.

"Daddy is talking about the kaolin?" Tang Xueying asked.

"That's right, a special kaolin is used to fire Qingbai porcelain, although there is no shortage of this kaolin in the mountains around Fuliang County, but this kind is very special, Daddy, I have been looking for several years and only found so little. Tang Yuan said to his daughter.

"Brother Yuan, can't you replace it with other soil?" asked his wife Tang Shi with a concerned face.

"No, I have experimented with many kinds of soil over the years, only that kind of kaolin can neutralize celadon and white porcelain together, although there may be other ways to do it, but the time it will take will be protracted, where do you want me to find this thing in three days?" Tang Yuan shook his head and said.

"I think Daddy might as well just go to the county lord and push this errand!" Xue Jue thought for a while and said, looked at her parents' puzzled eyes and then analyzed: "This thing is for the royal family at first glance, so my daughter guesses that this must be specially prepared by local officials in order to curry favor with the saint!"

"In addition, I heard my father say that although the county lord had a resolute attitude when he explained this matter, he forgot to issue an edict to his father! Since there is no decree from the government, then our family is not considered to have accepted the tolerance, since it is not a tolerance, it will be pushed if it is pushed. Although it will make the county lord and even the bigger adults behind him unhappy, they can't trouble our family in this matter. As for whether they will come to embarrass us in the future, that's also a matter for the future, so let's send this damaging thing out first. ”

Hearing their daughter's methodical analysis, Tang Yuan's and his wife's eyes lit up, what their daughter said was right, let's talk about it later, let's get through the current situation first.

Tang Yuan thought more, Lao Wang disappeared for no reason, there must be a secret behind it, plus that Hou Ze, this matter is really not simple, he must not wade into this troubled water, since there is no official document, I want my daughter to say, push it!

"Okay!good!good!Our little lady is really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows, Zhuge in the middle of the girl!" Tang Yuan had already made up his mind and laughed heartily.

"Daddy is making fun of me again!"

"Haha"

There was no time to say anything to his wife and daughter, Tang Yuan had already made up his mind, so he immediately picked up the drawing and went out to run to the county office.

It was less than an hour before Tang was far away, and the Fuliang County Commander was still entertaining Duan Zhang's housekeeper in the elegant room.

Duan Zhang's housekeeper had to wait here for three days, and then return to Yuzhang City with the burned things, which was also Duan Zhang's order. Yesterday, Duan Zhang finally decided to send someone to visit, although he knew that there was something greasy in it, but that thing was real! It was hard for him to find such a treasure that could be sent, so naturally he couldn't let it go lightly! As for anything else, it would have to wait until the thing was in his hands, and besides, what was the purpose of the person behind Hou Ze, he also needed to find out clearly, otherwise there was always such a person thinking about himself behind his back, how would you let Duan Zhang live!

Therefore, Duan Zhang's order to the housekeeper was to ignore everything else, as long as he got the things first, and if he couldn't get the things, don't get angry, just come back immediately!

Duan Zhang is also a person who has made two-handed preparations, knowing that as long as this thing is in his hands, then he will have the initiative, and no matter what the other party does, he can respond to all changes with the same. Therefore, Duan Zhang guessed that the other party's means should be to use his hands and feet on this thing, I am afraid that he will not let himself get it lightly, even so, Duan Zhang naturally will not give others the truth, if the thing can't be held, then go home first, and getting angry will only let the other party grab the handle, and it is useless.

Duan Zhang's housekeeper is eating and drinking with the Fuliang County Order in a reserved manner, he is just a subordinate, but the other party is a real Zhongxian County Order, although the prime minister is a seven-grade official in front of the door, but his own master is not the prime minister! Besides, before coming out this time, the master specially instructed to act carefully, and the housekeeper naturally did not dare to be careless, and he was also respectful and polite to the Fuliang County Order.

Suddenly, someone from the county government outside came to report that Tang had gone away and returned, and both of them were a little surprised, and then realized that something might have happened.

The Fuliang County Commander confessed to the crime, withdrew from the elegant room, and came to the second hall of the county government, and that Hou Ze naturally came out.

As soon as Tang Yuan saw the county lord, he said straight to the point: "My lord, my subordinates are incompetent, I'm afraid this thing can't be fired, please forgive me!"

The "......" county magistrate was also shocked by this scene.

"Bold! Okay, you Tang Yuan, the order of the county lord is also what you want to accept, and if you don't want to take it, you can't take it?" As soon as Hou Ze heard Tang Yuan's words, he immediately became anxious.

Tang Yuan ignored Hou Ze, pointed at the county lord and said, "Dare to ask your lordship, can you issue an edict to your subordinates just now? If it is issued, your subordinates will naturally not dare to disobey!"

"This ......" Fuliang County Commander was dumbfounded, do I dare to issue an edict to you about this thing? Didn't you see that even the handwritten letter written by Duan Zhang was taken away by his housekeeper? If I really signed it, wouldn't it mean leaving a handle for myself!

"This is really not!" The Fuliang County Order can also be seen that something must have happened to Tang Yuan, so he will run to refuse so recklessly, but he is also powerless in this matter!

"That's it, since the lord didn't issue an edict to his subordinates, it was a private request of the adults, so the subordinates are really powerless now, and they can't complete the adult's entrustment, please forgive me!" Tang Yuan had already made up his mind to push this matter away, so he was naturally resolute.

"Tang Yuan! You are bold! You dare to contradict the official! You ......" The more Hou Ze listened, the more anxious he became, and he kept scolding him, but Tang Yuan didn't want to deal with him.

Seeing this, the Fuliang County Commander had no choice but to look back at the back of the screen, this screen was specially made, the conversation in the second hall, and the private room behind it could be heard clearly, and Duan Zhang's housekeeper must have heard it clearly now.

Sure enough, a moment later, a person came out from behind the screen, it was the housekeeper of the Duan Mansion!

"Sure enough!" Tang Yuan saw such a person swaggering out of the county zun's house, where could he not know that this was the big man behind the county zun.

"Since Tang Shiling can't be fired, he can't force anything. The housekeeper of Duanfu said lightly, picked up the drawings in the hand of the county zun with one hand and hid it in his arms, and then said to the county zun: "Since this is the case, then I will leave!"

After saying that, the housekeeper of Duanfu left the county office and left, and he didn't care about Hou Ze, who was still there begging. My lord's prophecy really came true, the things didn't arrive, and now I must follow my lord's orders and hurry home to avoid long nights.

The sudden departure of the housekeeper of the Duan Mansion made Fuliang County Ling stunned for a while, but this big trouble went by himself, of course, it was the best thing. After all, Tang Yuan also has a master beside him who he can't offend, and now he doesn't have to be in a dilemma, and Fuliang County Ling is naturally happy to be idle.

As for that cheap brother-in-law, I don't care if you cry bitterly, it's none of my business to cry to death, I know that I will provoke trouble for Lao Tzu.

After this incident, the Fuliang County Decree raised the idea of taking his little concubine off, anyway, it was just a concubine, and if he took a break, he would take a break. In these years, concubines can be exchanged as private property at will, anyway, they have already played, and if they can change to a new one, why not do it? The most important thing is to get rid of Hou Ze's trouble, this is the most cost-effective, in order to go further, don't want this stupid cheap brother-in-law.

Tang Yuan also returned home with ease, no matter what happened in the future, he finally got out of this big trouble now. Tang Yuan, who escaped, prepared to go home and celebrate with his wife and daughter.

It's just, is the trouble really far away?
