Turbulent Times Chapter 333: Scared people scare people to death
Xu Jingzong walked slowly to the front office. The main gate of the front office is also wide open, but it is a place for handling state affairs, not a place for the master's family to welcome guests. The two passed the main entrance, took a few steps forward, and stopped by the side door in front.
The front and side doors for VIPs to enter and exit have already been opened by servants, and several neatly dressed male servants hold long brooms and symbolically "sweep" a road in front of the door. Wang Tong's eldest son, Wang Shouwen, greeted him with a smile, walked up to Xu Jingzong and stood still, with his hands on his chest, arms around his chest, bowed and said, "Shouwen has seen Sanlang, but he didn't know that Sanlang was far away. If he didn't come out to meet him, don't blame him for looking at Sanlang." !”
Xu Jingzong secretly sighed in his heart that the etiquette of the thousand-year-old family really pays attention, while smiling, he bowed his body long ago, and said: "You came without warning, how presumptuous, brother Wangxian, don't laugh at me for being abrupt!"
Wang Shouwen's eyes twitched, thinking of his father's confession, and the fact that the strange young man in front of him who claimed to be Wang Jiasanlang might be dressed up by the poisonous general, so his heart beat faster, he took a breath, and the two bowed to each other With a bow, the ceremony was completed, and four hands were clasped, Wang Shouwen suppressed the tension in his heart, and said with a loud laugh: "You and my brother have not seen each other for more than three years. I didn't expect Sanlang to come to Yongzhou."
After seeing each other, Xu Jingzong came in at the invitation of the master, waved back the servants, and asked in a low voice: "My father specifically confessed that Lord Hou will probably come here secretly, so I told my younger brother to wait at home at any time these few days. The younger brother has sent someone to deliver a letter to my father, please wait a moment, Lord Hou."
"I don't know why Mr. Wang went to General Yang Hushi?" Xu Jingzong didn't admit that he was Wang Junlin, but he didn't deny it either.
Wang Shouwen didn't notice Xu Jingzong's abnormal expression, and said: "This little brother doesn't know either. Why don't you ask my father later to find out."
The two were talking, then walked a few steps forward, bypassed a corridor, and sat down in the living room to drink tea with the guest of honor. After a few words, Wang Shouwen finally felt that the guest he welcomed in seemed The famous Marquis Qin An, but he had never met Wang Junlin, worried about causing unnecessary misunderstandings, so he didn't dare to ask rashly, so he could only make indirect remarks.
…
…
There is a three-story attic in the Governor's Mansion. Standing on it, you can overlook most of the city. Usually, only Governor Wang Tong comes up to look down occasionally, and the rest are empty, but at this time Wang Junlin is standing on it.
Wang Junlin seemed to be standing casually, but in fact he was standing in a very clever position. There was a column on the left and a wall on the right. He could just see most of the Governor's Mansion clearly, but the people below the attic couldn't see him.
When Xu Jingzong was brought in by Wang Shouwen, he saw a member of the Governor's Mansion running out, heading towards the General Manager's Mansion.
Wang Junlin knew that now Yu Juluo was on his way to the capital, and the old general Liu Fang, the long history, was recuperating at home, and the man in charge of the mansion was temporarily Zhonglang General Yang Hushi.
Although Wang Junlin and Wang Tong had some friendship, they even secretly formed an alliance when they were in the capital, and they even dealt with Yang Su together. But under the current circumstances, it is absolutely impossible for Wang Junlin to completely believe in Wang Tong. After all, Wang Tong asked him to come to Jincheng to sit in the city first, and then there were rumors of the "sixteen characters". What's more, officials like Wang Tong who came from aristocratic families always put the interests of the family first. Wang Junlin would not be surprised if his enemy reached a certain shady deal, so Xu Jingzong was asked to come out for an interview first, but he was still hidden in the dark. As for Xu Jingzong's safety, as long as Wang Junlin is in the dark, there is no need to worry.
An hour later, when the sky was getting dark, Wang Junlin saw a carriage, surrounded by a group of knights, hurrying from the direction of the Governor's Mansion. Already waiting at the door, Wang Tong asked the housekeeper some words while walking towards the living room where Xu Jingzong was.
At this time, the sky was dark. Standing in front of the observation hall in the attic, Wang Junlin didn't have to worry that anyone would see him, so he simply went out, stood on the observation hall, and looked around the entire Jincheng. , and then he let out a long sigh of relief.
In addition, there was no warning from Shen Guang, so it can be preliminarily determined that Wang Tong did not collude with the secret enemy.
Of course, this is just the initial stage. After Wang Junlin came to this era, there were very few people he trusted completely, and Wang Tong was definitely not among them.
With a plan in mind, Wang Junlin leaped down from the attic like a big bird, and landed silently on a big tree under the attic.
…
…
Entering the living room, Wang Tong looked at Xu Jingzong who stood up to greet him, looked at him carefully for a moment, smiled wryly, and said, "Marquis Qin An didn't come in person. Could it be that even the official is suspicious."
Xu Jingzong did not dare to be negligent, he bowed deeply to Wang Tong, and said: "Your Majesty has something to do at the moment, so I sent a lowly official to discuss some matters with the governor."
Wang Tong sighed, waved his hand to let the eldest son Wang Shouwen back down, and then said: "Forget it, sit down! That kid Wang Junlin asked you to come and discuss with me."
Xu Jingzong was about to speak when he suddenly saw a servant walking in from the door. The visitor said he was a servant because he was wearing the clothes of a servant of the Governor's Mansion, but the visitor had his hands behind his back, his footsteps were silent, and his expression was leisurely, so he didn't look like a servant at all.
Wang Tong took a sip of tea and did not see Xu Jingzong speaking for a long time. He looked up and saw Xu Jingzong staring at him with a strange expression on his left side. Looking at it, Wang Tong's pupils shrank, as if seeing a ghost, he stood up abruptly.
At some point, there was an extra person on the wooden table on his left.
"Who are you? How dare you enter the Governor's Mansion without permission." Wang Tong was startled, his face turned slightly pale, and he shouted sharply.
The person who came here was naturally Wang Junlin who had passed through the disguise. He originally wanted to play tricks in front of Wang Tong, so that Wang Tong would have more scruples. There was a big jump. It's no wonder, imagine, didn't hear the slightest sound before, suddenly there is another person beside you when you turn your head, what kind of scene is this, and although Wang Tong is an assassin, he is just a literati.
Wang Junlin smiled awkwardly, got up and bowed to Wang Tong, and said: "The next official, Wang Junlin, came to pay a visit to Lord Inspector, he came a little abruptly, and I hope Lord Inspector will forgive me."
Wang Tong was stunned for a moment, smiled wryly, wiped the sweat from his brow, and scolded with a smile: "Your boy is Qin Anhou of my Great Sui Dynasty, but you are still playing around like a charlatan."
Wang Junlin smiled and touched his nose, but did not answer.
