86_86695 Tang Wenguang received a letter. This letter was written to him by a friend of his, the same year that he was a five-rank official in the Nanjing Ministry of Rites. In the same year, he told him in a letter that the Son of Wanli had issued a decree not long ago, and he had restored the title of Zhu Youzi, the grandson of the former King of Zhijiang, and the king of Zhijiang County. He will soon go to Zhijiang County to announce the decree together with the lieutenant officials who came from Beijing.

He wrote this letter to remind his good friend Tang Wenguang. On the one hand, he was asked to do a good job in receiving the dignitaries from the two capitals who came to announce the decree. Instructed him not to be slow, the eunuch from the Beijing Master of Ceremonies and the Nanjing garrison eunuch who accompanied him. On the other hand, his friend asked him to sort it out in advance, and it has been managed by Zhijiang County, and the former Wangfu Wangtian under the Zhijiang Palace. Because the Son of Wanli clearly demanded that the magistrate should restore the property in the name of the Zhijiang Palace.

Tang Wenguang's friend specially instructed him to have a good relationship with the new Zhijiang King Zhu Youzi, and not to offend the vassal king. Because according to reliable sources, not only the garrison eunuchs in Nanjing seem to have a good relationship with the Zhijiang Palace, but even the crown prince and grandson seem to have praised this vassal king. Moreover, it is said that the treasure that this vassal king paid tribute to the Son of Heaven was very much liked by the Son of Heaven.

Tang Wenguang read the letter and unconsciously patted his chest. He's really scared. If it weren't for him, Ma Songhua would have reported to the Zhijiang Mansion as soon as he wanted to embarrass the Zhijiang Palace. Then he is likely to be like the uninformed and brainless villager Cheng Ma Songhua, who offended the new vassal king who was deeply appreciated by the Son of Heaven, praised by two generations of princes, and befriended with the Nanjing garrison eunuchs.

After reading the letter, Tang Wenguang immediately called his master in and discussed with him the specific matters of receiving the eunuchs and officials of the two capitals. After he and the master discussed the specific reception matters, they began to discuss how to return the property of the palace.

After the previous King Zhijiang was deprived of the title, the palace and Wang Tian under the name of the Zhijiang Wangfu were under the direct management of the Zhijiang County Ya.

There is not much to say about the palace. The Zhijiang Palace, located in the center of the county seat of Zhijiang County, has been vacant. After so many years, the entire palace has been dilapidated. What Zhijiang County can do is only to open the treasury, gather craftsmen, and do their best to repair the palace.

As for Wang Tian under the name of King Yuan Zhijiang, it is quite troublesome. The previous officials of Zhijiang County sold the fields in the name of the Zhijiang Wangfu as early as after the palace was taken away. More than 8,000 acres of high-quality royal fields were bought by Mida Temple and Ma Songhua at a low price. The other 3,000 acres of fertile land were divided by more than a dozen large households in the county.

Decades have passed, and now it is a lot of trouble to get the land back.

Especially the Mituo Temple and Wang Tian under the name of Ma Songhua. Both of these are powerful gangs in Zhijiang County. Even if the county order Tang Wenguang came forward directly, I am afraid that it will be difficult to gain any benefits. I'm afraid, I have to listen to some weird things about yin and yang.

Tang Wenguang thought about it, but he couldn't think of any good way. The master, who has always been resourceful, doesn't have any ideas. In the end, Tang Wenguang sent his master to Zhijiang Wangbiyuan to negotiate with Zhu Youzi. He hoped that Zhu Youzi would understand his difficulties and not pursue them.

Zhang Shouyi, the master of Tang County Order, did not see Zhu Youzi, who was about to become a worthy prince. Liu Huaiyi, the chief housekeeper of the palace, received him.

After hearing the clear news brought by Zhang Shouyi, Liu Huaiyi was very excited. After decades, they have finally looked forward to this day.

However, Liu Huaiyi knew. The affairs of the palace, no matter how big or small, are now controlled by Wang Shuhui, the guest of honor. On the one hand, he was excited about the imminent restoration of his brother-in-law's royal title, but on the other hand, he kept a clear head.

He told Zhang Shouyi that the prince is now self-cultivation and does not pay attention to mundane things. He instructed a family member who was on duty in the palace to take Zhang Shouyi to the camp and meet Wang Shuhui, the guest of honor in the palace.

From the moment he entered Wangfu Town, Zhang Shouyi felt quite surprised. Although he had never been here before, when he saw the city wall under construction and the buildings of Wangfu Town, which had obviously not been repaired for a long time, he thought to himself, how could he never have heard of such a small town here in Wangfu Garden.

By the time he saw a group of neatly dressed men armed with spears patrolling the town. Zhang Shouyi remembered the recent rumors on the ground in Zhijiang County.

Looking at the family members who were obviously stronger than the guards of Jingzhou Mansion, Zhang Shouyi couldn't help but muttered a little in his heart.

Wang Shuhui's mansion, in terms of scale, is quite large. However, from the outside, the Yibin Mansion, with several watchtowers erected around it, looks very shabby.

Wang Shuhui's mansion is the same as the ordinary architectural style of Wangfu Town. Although the scale is not small, in terms of style, there is no such carved beams and paintings, and the appearance of thick ink and color is not at all. The ridged large tile house of red bricks and red tiles is boxy. Because the planning is very neat, it seems that the entire Yibin Mansion looks too neat and monotonous.

Zhang Shouyi was received in Wang Shuhui's office. It was the first time he had seen a reception room of this kind of decoration. Several sofas and coffee tables form a semicircle, so that Zhang Shouyi can't figure out where the main seat is and where is the guest seat. Even if the young offspring who brought him in asked him to sit down, he didn't dare to sit down at will.

Wang Shuhui is less than twenty years old in Zhang Shouyi's eyes at most. Modern people, for ancient people, must look young. Although Wang Shuhui's upbringing was bumpy, he was still well nourished. Although Wang Shuhui likes sports, he usually works indoors after all, so in Zhang Shouyi's eyes, he looked at Sven Baijing.

Wang Shuhui gave Zhang Shouyi the feeling that he was a gentle and polite child of a family. He felt that Wang Shuhui was worthy of being the guest of honor of the palace, and he had the prestige of a noble man in every gesture.

As soon as Wang Shuhui walked into the reception room, he raised his hand to stop Zhang Shouyi's salute, and then sat down on the sofa and waved Zhang Shouyi to sit next to him. After the instructor on duty poured tea for the two, Wang Shuhui motioned to Zhang Shouyi to explain his intentions.

Although Zhang Shouyi's words were covered with clouds and mountains, Wang Shuhui generally understood it.

Tang Wenguang not only couldn't suppress Mituo Temple and Ma Songhua, but even more than a dozen other big households that occupied Wangtian, he couldn't suppress it. The meaning of Zhang Shouyi's words was to let Zhu Youzi swallow this breath, and the county government would divide the official land under the name of the county to the Zhijiang Mansion as compensation.

After Wang Shuhui heard this, he couldn't stop sneering. He took a sip of tea, sneered and said to Zhang Shouyi, "What Mr. Zhang means is that Tang County, as the governor of this county, is helpless against the wealthy families in this county. ”

When Zhang Shouyi heard this, he could only be speechless.

Wang Shuhui stopped sneering and said to Zhang Shouyi, "Since this is the case, I will ask Mr. Zhang, how powerful this Mida Temple and Ma Songhua are, they make the county lord so jealous." ”

When Zhang Shouyi heard this, he thought to himself that since the words had come to this point, there was nothing to hide.

He said to Wang Shuhui, "Yibin doesn't know that behind the Mida Temple, there are several big boat gangs in the Jingnan Territory. Behind Ma Xiancheng is the former governor of Huguang, the current head of the household department, and the nephew of Lord Zhang Wenda. Tang County's honorable officials are weak and weak, and they are indeed powerless against this. As for the several big families in the county, most of them are in-laws in Ma County. Ma Xiancheng supported them, and Tang Xianzun really couldn't do anything. ”

When Wang Shuhui heard this, he did not continue to embarrass Zhang Shouyi. He said to Zhang Shouyi, "Since Mr. Zhang has spoken out, I will not embarrass Tang County." However, I have some words here, please ask Mr. Zhang to return to Tang County. Ma Songhua colluded with gangsters and lawlessness in Zhijiang County. But in this world, there is also a reason to play with fire. When Ma Songhua was attacked by the bandits in the rivers and lakes, he also asked Tang County to act impartially, and don't forget that Ma Songhua's property and Zhijiang Wangfu have a share. ”

Zhang Shouyi listened to the words of this royal guest of honor with ice ballast, and he was still quite unimpressed. He thought, it's true that your family is the mansion of the county king, but the Ma family also has the power of the household book. This Wang Yibin is really a young man's heart, and he kindly reminded him that he didn't know how to say something inconsequential.

Zhang Shouyi soon returned to the county office. Tang Wenguang listened to Zhang Shouyi's reply and breathed a sigh of relief.

He said to Zhang Shouyi, "As long as the Zhijiang Royal Mansion knows my difficulties." The young guest of honor likes to say something angry, so let him say it. As long as the palace can understand my distress and don't complain when the people above come, it won't be a big deal. ”

Although Tang Wenguang said so to Master Zhang, he still regarded Wang Shuhui, the guest of honor of the palace, as a reckless person who didn't know what to do. He thought in his heart that he must not take the initiative to deal with that royal guest of honor in the future.

It wasn't until three days later that Master Zhang Shouyi found him with a white face and reported his newly obtained news, Tang Wenguang realized that Wang Yibin was really not as simple as saying some scenes and words.

"Is what you said true, Ma Songhua's house was robbed in the salt depot outside the county?!" Tang Wenguang was also shocked by the news he had just heard.

"It's true, Dong Weng. Several large warehouses of the Ma family outside the West City Gate were looted. None of the guards of the treasury survived. Just now, Ma Xiancheng, who was in front of the office, heard this, and had already fainted in the public house. I just saw his entourage and went to the county office to ask for a doctor. ”

"This ......, sir, what kind of hands and feet are these?" Tang Wenguang hesitated. You must know that Ma Songhua is calling for wind and rain in the Jiangbei territory, who will move his head.

"Dong Weng, the student asks Dong Weng to speak in the back hall." Zhang Shouyi obviously thought of something, and hurriedly asked Tang Wenguang to find a private place to communicate with him again.

When he arrived at the back hall, Zhang Shouyi quickly closed the door and whispered to Tang Wenguang, "Dong Weng, this matter is afraid that it is the hands and feet of the Zhijiang Palace." ”

Tang Wenguang immediately asked, "How can you see it?" ”

Zhang Shouyi lowered his voice and said to Tang Wenguang, "Dong Weng, this matter is really strange. The person who came to report to the county government seemed to be the domestic slave of the Zhijiang Palace. The latter student wore a green coat, and the texture of the clothing was exactly what the student had seen in the palace. Nowhere else is there such a noble cloth like cotton and silk. ”。
