In the end, Zhao Laiyu still invited Wang Xun from the Wang family to the courtyard where he lived. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This small courtyard in Zhao Laiyu is fresh and elegant, and there are no precious trees or flowers in the yard, all of which are very ordinary plants.

It's not that Zhao Laiyu's three sons are reluctant to spend money on their old father, but Zhao Laiyu's own requirements.

To tell the truth, people live to the age of Zhao Laiyu, although the yearning for power is still fierce, but material things like money and wealth have long been looked down on by them.

Compared with extravagant enjoyment, this kind of aristocratic old people will think more about how to leave more things for their descendants and grandchildren, and how to pass on their own bloodline.

This is the second time Wang Hyun has come back to Zhao Laiyu's courtyard.

I remember that when Zhao Laiyu first came to Anling, he came to visit the mansion with his eldest brother Wang Zan and his third brother Wang Lun, and came to this courtyard, and Wang Xun also drank a few cups with Zhao Laiyu at that time.

Perhaps at that time, Zhao Laiyu's three sons Zhao Wenlin, Zhao Wenqu, and Zhao Wenfu were a little suspicious of their father being forced by Zhao Hongrun to leave Daliang, and secretly thought that this was because his father was old, so he only thought about eating and drinking every day for his father, but he no longer told Zhao Laiyu about things at home.

However, Wang Xun respected Zhao Laiyu very much.

After all, Zhao Laiyu had sat in the position of Zongfu Zongzheng for more than 20 years, and when Zhao Hongrun's father Zhao Yuanxi had not yet become the son of Wei Tianzi, Zhao Laiyu was Zongzheng of Zongfu, and later, Zhao Yuansi became the son of Wei Tianzi, and Zhao Laiyu was still Zongzheng of Zongfu.

As the so-called son of heaven and a courtier, Zhao Laiyu can sit firmly in the position of Zongfu Zongzheng for two dynasties, and even Zhao Yuanxi, the son of Wei Tianzi, was once afraid of this person, so you can imagine his city and power schemes.

Maybe this is also the reason why Zhao Laiyu decided to meet Wang Xun.

Under the guidance of the servants in the house, Wang Xun went straight to the wooden house in the courtyard.

The structure of the wooden house where Zhao Laiyu lives is very simple, and there is a hall beyond the threshold, on both sides of the hall, the east side is the study, and the west side is the bedroom, and there are only three rooms.

This makes it hard to imagine that the previous generation Zongzheng, who was in charge of the authority of the sect at the beginning, could actually live in such a simple house.

"Wang Hyun meets Uncle Zhao."

In the study, Wang Xun saw Zhao Laiyu sitting behind the desk and respectfully bowed to him.

Because Zhao Laiyu is a few years younger than Wang Hyun's father, Wang Hyun respectfully calls him uncle.

"Wang's Erlang is polite." Zhao Laiyu said with a smile.

Note: In fact, at this time, Zhao Laiyu should call Wang Xun's table character, which is the most appropriate and thoughtful courtesy. But the table word thing is too annoying, once added it means that the author has to think of several names for the same character, and the characters in this book, how many hundreds? Therefore, the author shamefully neglected to give only the table words to important characters in the book, as long as you understand it, don't be surprised.

Wang Xun lowered his head again, did all the etiquette, and then raised his head, looked at Zhao Wenlin, Zhao Wenqu, and Zhao Wenfu who were standing on the side of the desk, endured the doubt in his heart, and greeted each other with the three of them.

After the salute, Wang Xun smiled bitterly and said to the four people in the room: "Uncle Zhao, there are three elder brothers and virtuous brothers, the reason why Wang Xun came this time is that you have already heard about it, right?" ”

He didn't say that he guessed, but used the word heard, because in his mind, the Zhao family obviously heard the news about the current situation of their Wang family, so the three brothers Zhao Wenlin, Zhao Wenqu, and Zhao Wenfu gathered in the courtyard of their father Zhao Laiyu to ask this old man who had seen big scenes and big battles.

Hearing this, Zhao Wenlin, Zhao Wenqu, and Zhao Wenfu smiled with wry expressions, because just now, they were all reprimanded by Zhao Laiyu, and they were scolded by their father for being unworthy of lifting shoes for the bastard boy of King Su Zhao Hongrun.

Wang Xun didn't care about the silence of Zhao Wenlin, Zhao Wenqu, and Zhao Wenfu, and after a pause, he said bitterly to Zhao Laiyu: "Right now, the main house of my Wang family was smashed by Zhao Hongrun, and my third nephew (Wang Chen) was also taken away by Yan Lingjun...... This disaster is urgent, I hope that Uncle Zhao will help me show a clear way for my Wang brothers to be respectful to Uncle Zhao in the past. ”

"......" Zhao Laiyu stroked his beard and looked at Wang Xun.

To be honest, he hasn't thought about how to deal with the aftermath of this matter yet, but he still has the safest way, which is to leave the Wang family's affairs alone.

Zhao Laiyu has dealt with Zhao Hongrun, and he knows the temper of this young King Su very well, and now that Anling has broken the law one after another, do you really think that King Su will leave Anling easily?

In Zhao Laiyu's opinion, even if Zhao Hongrun finally leaves Anling, before leaving, he will knock out a few teeth of the nobles in Anling, clean them up and obey them, and then leave.

As for the Wang family, just looking at Zhao Hongrun's command of Yan Lingbing to smash the main house of the Wang family, Zhao Laiyu knew that the Wang family was more than auspicious.

To put it in the most popular way, if Zhao Hongrun decided to bypass the Wang family in the end, how could he ask someone to smash the main house of the Wang family? This is settled, and the Wang family is not guilty, how much money will be paid after that?

Therefore, the best way is to completely kill the Wang family, kill the chickens and monkeys, and use the fate of the Wang family to deter the rest of the nobles in Anling.

After seeing through this matter, in fact, Zhao Laiyu was relieved.

Because the Wang family is the leading wealthy family in Anling, and the momentum is even greater than that of the Zhao family, if it is more than enough to act as the chicken in the chicken killing monkey, there is really no need to drag another nobleman into the water.

To put it simply, if it is confirmed that the Wang family will definitely suffer, then relatively, the situation of their Zhao family will be much better: if Zhao Hongrun thinks about it, he will not be idle, and in one go, the Wang family and the Zhao family, the two leading wealthy families in Anling City, will be ruined.

One Wang family is enough for him Zhao Hongrun to deter the rest of the nobles in Anling.

In other words, as long as he Zhao Clan keeps to himself from now on and obeys that Zhao Hongrun, then there is a chance that this disaster will not implicate their Zhao Clan.

It's just that Wang Hyun personally asked him for a solution, which made Zhao Laiyu hesitate slightly, after all, Wang Hyun has always been very respectful to him, and Zhao Laiyu can't erase this feeling.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Laiyu asked in a deep voice: "Wang Erlang, then Zhao Hongrun, really speak out in front of you, and want to rectify your Wang family?" ”

Wang Xun nodded with a wry smile, and told the story of how he took the famous doctors in the city to visit Zhao Hongrun, focusing on the "injured" Zhao Hongrun who didn't even pretend to be in front of him, and how Zongwei Zhou Pu threatened those famous doctors in the city, so that the latter "diagnosed" the result that King Su was seriously injured in an attack.

This narration only made Zhao Wenlin, Zhao Wenqu, and Zhao Wenfu stunned, after all, Zhao Hongrun's behavior is simply reversing black and white, pointing to the deer as a horse, arrogantly can no longer be arrogant, and can no longer be domineering.

The three brothers, who had lived to be thirty or forty years old, thought that they had never encountered such a tricky opponent.

On the other hand, Zhao Laiyu's face was still very calm, and he even chuckled.

"It's still the same......"

He shook his head, and involuntarily recalled Zhao Hongrun's attitude when he was in the Zongfu, you know, it was in front of their ancestor Zhao Tairu, the ancestor of the Ji family, compared to the scene at that time, what Zhao Hongrun showed in front of Wang Xun today is just a corner of his arrogance.

Brushing his beard, Zhao Laiyu said in a deep voice: "Wang Erlang, the old man has a word, whether you listen or not." ”

"Please show Uncle Zhao."

"Don't fight with Zhao Hongrun, your Wang family can't fight him. …… Admit this crime, take out a sum of money to make up for the county warehouse, and push out a few scapegoats...... Zhao Hongrun's temperament old man knows very well that a slap can't make a sound, if your Wang family can be obedient, Zhao Hongrun will not kill you. ”

This...... This is the clear road?

Wang Xun looked at Zhao Laiyu with some incredulity.

At this time, Zhao Wenqu, who had a good relationship with Wang Xun, frowned when he heard the words and said: "Father, what you said will inevitably increase the morale of others too much and destroy your own prestige, right?" ”

"Fool!" Zhao Laiyu reprimanded unhappily: "Knowing that you are invincible and invincible, this is the way to take trouble!" After that, he turned his head to look at Wang Xun and said in a deep voice: "Those who know the times are Junjie." ”

When Wang Xun heard this, his heart couldn't help but sink.

He can be regarded as hearing the taste, obviously, the old lady of the Anling Zhao family in front of him does not want to compete with that King Su again.

Sit down under......

Wang Hyun left the mansion of the Zhao family in a daze, thinking about these four words all the way.

Back at the main mansion, Wang Xun saw his brother Wang Zan standing outside the mansion with an anxious expression.

"Second brother." Seeing Wang Xun, Wang Zan hurriedly told Wang Xun everything that happened in their mansion not long ago, such as the main mansion was smashed, his youngest son Wang Chen was captured by Yan Lingjun, etc., and at the end, he also added his speculation about Zhao Hongrun's injury: because Wei Jiao was full of confidence at that time, so much so that Wang Zan suspected that someone had assassinated Zhao Hongrun in the name of their Wang family.

And Zhao Hongrun was not injured, Wang Xun still doesn't know?

So, Wang Xun shook his head and told his brother what he saw with his own eyes: "Zhao Hongrun is not injured, he is intent on rectifying my Wang family." ”

Hearing this, Wang Zan was furious.

However, the servant in the house revealed another thing that made him even more angry: his second son, Wang Han, had been taken by Li Li, the lieutenant of this county, and escorted to the Daliang Criminal Department.

"Okay, since Zhao Hongrun really wants to force my Wang family to a dead end, we will simply fight him!" Wang Zan said indignantly.

Do you really want to fight?

A few hints of hesitation flashed in Wang Xun's heart, and he suddenly remembered the few whispered words that Zhao Laiyu had whispered to him in private when he sent him out of the courtyard. (To be continued.) )
