Chapter 27—The End of the King's Steward

As usual, before the sun rose, the king housekeeper had rushed from home to the palace, he had been living in the palace before he got married, and he moved out after getting married, after all, it was not convenient for a large family to live in the palace.

He was accustomed to running like this every day, and he didn't feel tired, only after a busy day in the palace did he feel a little tired, but as soon as he got home, the four little grandsons with two sons ran over and kept calling 'grandpa', and all the tiredness turned into happy smiles.

Steward Wang came every day with great interest, and today was the same, as soon as he arrived at the palace, he instructed the other servants to prepare for today's work, and today's task was the same as yesterday, mainly to patrol the perimeter to see if there were still beggars sticking notices on the wall, and tearing them up immediately after they were found.

As soon as the order was finished, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and soon the servants guarding the door came in to report that Cao County's order was coming, and there were a few catchers around him, and Steward Wang thought about it a little and knew that Cao County's order was sent to help tear up the notice, and he ran to the old man's hall with excitement, and the old man would usually be here at this moment.

Sure enough, when Steward Wang arrived, the old man was sitting there as if he was closing his eyes and recuperating, and as if he was thinking about something, he knocked lightly on the pillar at the door, and the old man opened his eyes knowingly, and saw Steward Wang standing at the door with a smile, so he motioned for him to come in and poured him a cup of tea.

Steward Wang didn't dare to take the teacup in Wang Renshou's hand, looked at Wang Renshou, and then looked at the teacup, he felt that his brain was not enough, and he really couldn't understand the master's actions today, the master had never handed him tea, and he had never been so polite to him, what happened today?

Steward Wang stood there in confusion, shrugging his head and staring at the teacup, no, no.

"What's the shock, the old man will drink it for you!"

Steward Wang took the teacup after a pause, looked at Wang Renshou suspiciously, Wang Renshou ignored his doubts, sat back in his seat, knocked on the table, pointed to the vacant seat next to him and said to Steward Wang: "Sit down, the old man has never talked to you, I want to talk to you today." ”

Steward Wang was flattered and moved to the vacant seat, looking down at the teacup in his hand and waiting for the master's orders, the master's sudden attitude made him unable to touch the north.

"Your Chen family has been doing things for the palace for two generations, the old man remembers that when he first entered the court as an official, you took over your father's position and began to take over the affairs of the palace, it has been thirty years, thirty years have passed by in a snap of a finger, you and I are old, you have done your best for the Wang family in the past thirty years, the old man can see it, these thirty years, how does the old man treat you?"

Steward Wang is very strange about the master's actions today, this is the first time the lord has talked to him, talking about the past, and the steward Wang, who is a little incomprehensible, remembers the bits and pieces in the palace, and his face that has been left traces of time is full of memories.

"The Wang family is the great benefactor of the Chen family, the first father was a scoundrel who did nothing, it was the old man who took him in, and the Chen family has today's family background, although it is not large enough, at least it is more decent to live, and it can have a place to stay in Chang'an, and no longer live in the countryside.

When the old slave got married, the old man also gave five brocade forging, and on weekdays, the old slave was allowed to take home any leftovers in the house, and the lady took care of the old slave's family...... The great kindness of the Wang family to the Chen family is unforgettable in this life! ”

Wang Renshou nodded slowly and said, "If you want to do something for the Wang family, are you willing?"

Steward Wang said suspiciously: "The old slave has been doing things for the Wang family, I don't know what the master means by this?"

Wang Renshou looked at the front sadly and sighed: "The Wang family is no longer what it used to be, just like the fish and meat on the knife are slaughtered by others, whether the Wang family can get out of this predicament urgently needs your help."

Steward Wang said suspiciously: "How can you say this?"

"Now that the ugly deeds of the Wang family have been whitened in the world, and the people's anger has risen, the emperor will not let go of the palace, so the only way to calm the anger of the people is to return justice to the world, the emperor will not severely punish the palace, and the palace can escape this catastrophe, and you need your help to return justice to the world."

Steward Wang thought about it, but couldn't think of how he could help to return justice to the world, so he asked Wang Renshou: "I don't know what the old slave should do to solve this difficulty?"

"Your life!"

Bang...... The teacup in Steward Wang's hand fell to the ground in an instant, and the broken tiles were all over the place, he glanced at Wang Renshou in horror, and found that his eyes were as cold as a knife, and the soft color that he had just talked to was gone, and now Steward Wang knew that the real purpose of the master's abnormal measures today was to kill himself, no wonder he was so good to himself.

The surroundings are very quiet, the atmosphere is very depressing, Steward Wang looked down at the tea that was scattered on the ground and was stunned, he knew that the Wang family was kind to him, but he was not enough to accompany his life to repay the kindness, the kindness of the Wang family has not yet reached the realm of sacrificing his life.

But since the old man has made this request, can he still save his old life? As a servant, it is not difficult for the master to want you to die, just create an evil deed of disloyalty and injustice to the master, not to mention that he has done a lot of evil deeds in the royal family, and the biggest evil deed is now known to everyone, it seems that this old life cannot be saved......

"What, don't want to?"

"No...... No, the old slave is willing, but the old slave has not parted with his family, and I hope that the old slave will allow the old slave to go home to see his family for the last time for the sake of the old slave's dedication to the palace for many years. ”

"Good! You can rest assured, as long as the Wang family escapes this catastrophe, the old man will definitely double the preferential treatment of the Chen family in the future! ”

Steward Wang is still more prestigious in the palace, and the other servants in the palace will greet him warmly when they see him, they are very strange about the housekeeper's demeanor today, when he first came, he was still alive and vigorous, and he went to the master as if he had lost his soul and was listless, and he didn't care about greeting him closely, and he didn't know what he was thinking when he shrugged his head, but it was not like this in the past.

Someone behind him pointed and whispered, but Steward Wang didn't care anymore, when he walked out of the door, Cao Xian Ling and his party were still there, and now he knew their intentions.

As soon as he walked to the bottom of the steps, Cao Xian Ling beckoned with a smile, and soon there were two catchers around him, and Steward Wang wanted to explain, but before the words were spoken, someone behind him had already said it for him.

"Don't be in a hurry, let him go home to see his family for the last time, and explain the future."

Cao Xian Ling promised, waved his hand to signal the two catches to send his hand, Steward Wang said goodbye to the two of them and walked towards his house, the two catchers saw Cao County Ling nodded and hugged his fists and followed.

Behind him came the sound of the old man and Cao Xianling talking and laughing, hearing these before, Steward Wang would be happy from the bottom of his heart, today when he heard this, there was only endless anger in his heart, he swore that they must also be punished, he had done so many evil things for the Wang family before, and he wanted to rely on the rod Wang family to live a safe life, but he didn't expect to be sold by the Wang family in the end......

returned home with a dissatisfaction all the way, and the two county government lackeys not far behind him did not follow up, and stayed at the door without leaving.

Walking to the front yard, the four little grandsons ran over, hugged Steward Wang's thighs and kept calling grandpa, and asked him curiously why he came back so soon in the morning.

Steward Wang smiled and hugged his fourth grandson tightly in his arms, his nose was sour and he wanted to cry, but he still held back and turned his grief into hugs and intimacy.

"Grandpa, you're holding me so tightly, I'm a little out of breath."

"Grandpa, you kissed me too hard, and I felt so uncomfortable with my beard."

Feeling the discomfort of the four grandsons, Steward Wang let go of his hand, touched their heads, and gently told them to continue to play without bumping into them.

The little grandson walked away with a grin, watching them disappear in the front yard before retracting his gaze, he knew that this was the last time he saw the little grandson, and as soon as he turned around, he saw the eldest son striding out of the moon gate, and the younger son was out of the city today, and the eldest son was in the house, looking at his hurried appearance, he obviously heard his voice and wanted to come out to see why he came back so early today.

"Come to my house in half an hour!"

After explaining this, he walked towards his house, Chen Ze, the eldest son of the housekeeper Wang, watched his father walk into the house and closed the door tightly, his father's abnormal behavior made him feel an ominous sign, in the past, his father would not be as depressed as today, just glanced at him, Chen Ze saw that his father had tears in his eyes, this ...... It's not normal.

Sitting on the steps and waiting for a long time, the door behind him opened, and the father glanced at himself lightly and signaled him to enter, Chen Ze didn't expect that the father would inexplicably hand him a bag.

"Give this bag to Lin Fan in Anyang, Yayu Township, two miles outside Chang'an City, he knows what to do, and I believe he will do it."

Chen Ze looked at Steward Wang worriedly, and said worriedly: "Dad, what happened, your actions today make me very worried."

Steward Wang laughed miserably, patted Chen Ze's shoulder and said, "No matter what your father encounters, don't pay attention to it, as long as you do a good job of what I have explained...... You are the eldest in the family, you have to take more responsibility, the second child is weaker, and he has to take more care of it. ”

Without saying anything more, Steward Wang rushed out of the door, looked at his yard seriously along the way, and did not go to say goodbye to his wife and others.

Chen Ze was stopped at the door by Steward Wang, and from the two catchers with his father, Chen Ze knew that something must have happened to his father, but he couldn't do anything, he could only watch Daddy stride away......
