Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

Wang Wencheng leaned back in his chair, muttering constantly, his eyes somewhat dazed.

He had already guessed that the person coming must be a senior official in Prince Ji's Mansion.

Although I don’t know who he is, but since he is protected by the guards of Prince Ji’s Mansion, his status must be not low.

He thought it might be his cousin Wang Hongfu, but he didn't think so.

Wang Hongfu is the chief treasurer of the Ji Palace, and all the properties of the Ji Palace are under the management of the palace.

How could he leave such a huge mess behind and travel thousands of miles to Anxi Protectorate?

Moreover, if he came to Anxi Protectorate, Wang Hongfu should have greeted me in advance.

In the past, when someone from above came to do business, I would always greet them in advance and be more careful.

Because of this, he was able to get away with it.

If it’s not Wang Hongfu, then it must be the second manager under Wang Hongfu.

Looking at the distraught Wang Wencheng, Zhang Biao asked in confusion:

"Boss, what's the end? Could it be that these people have some background?"

"What do you know? These people are not ordinary people. I guess they are most likely from Chang'an."

Seeing Zhang Biao's disapproving look, Wang Wencheng scolded him.

"From Chang'an? Are you from some noble family?"

Zhang Biao still didn't react.

Wang Wencheng was a little annoyed when he saw this:

"Fool, if he is from a noble family, what is there to be afraid of?

We are the property of Prince Ji's Mansion, everyone must give us some.

I'm afraid they were sent by Prince Ji's Mansion."

"Someone sent by Prince Ji's Mansion?"

This time, Zhang Biao showed shock on his face. If it was someone sent by Prince Ji's Mansion, he would be in trouble.

They have done a lot of shameful things here.

If Prince Ji's Mansion knew about this, they would all have no good ending.

"Boss, what should we do? If the people from Prince Ji's Mansion get the account book, our secret will be exposed.

By then, Prince Ji will definitely send someone to investigate, and then we will have to..."

Zhang Biao didn't say anything else. If Prince Ji really found out, their fate would definitely be tragic.

"Yes, the account book. We can't let them get the account book. Didn't you find the runaway servant?"

Wang Wencheng came to his senses at this moment. As long as there was no evidence, even if people from Prince Ji's Mansion came, he could get away with it as before.

“Reporting to the chief treasurer, our people chased for a long time but couldn’t find them, but we found our five guards who were killed at the foot of a hill.

We found them by following this trail.

So I suspect that they saved the servant and the account book fell into their hands. "

After hearing Zhang Biao's analysis, Wang Chengwen felt hopeless. Wasn't this going to kill him?

"No, we can't let them take the account book back, otherwise we will all die."

A cold light suddenly flashed in Wang Wencheng's eyes.

"What the boss means is..."

Zhang Biao made a chopping motion, with some shock in his eyes.

How can we just kill the special envoy sent by Prince Ji's Mansion?

Wang Wencheng saw Zhang Biao's concerns and spoke softly.

“Wang doesn’t want this to happen, but if the account books really fall into their hands, our good days will be over.

You, I, and everyone else below will die.

Our parents and children will also be implicated, and even if they don’t die, they will be exiled, and their final fate may be more tragic than death.

Wang doesn’t want to be without descendants.”

Parents and children, no more descendants, these words struck Zhang Biao's heart, shattering all his concerns.

He is from the Central Plains, and carrying on the family line and bringing honor to his ancestors is ingrained in his bones.

Zhang Biao's eyes became firm.

"Boss, you are right. If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. We cannot let them take the account books back to Chang'an."

"That's right. We can't let them take the account books out. Take all the guards with you to stop them right now.

Be sure to bring back the account books, and as for those people, let them stay here."

Wang Wencheng made up his mind that he could not turn back now.

He was mentally prepared when he did this.

"Yes, I will go and gather the people right away."

Zhang Biao took the order and went out.

Wang Wencheng sat in his study room, deep in thought. He had not expected it to come so soon.

He thought he had arranged everything and made all the connections, without anyone noticing.

Even the other local nobles and wealthy businessmen did not notice it.

He was wondering whether the person who came to Prince Ji's mansion this time was for a routine inspection or because he had noticed something?

After thinking for a while, he picked up a pen, wrote a letter, put it in an envelope and sealed it.

"Someone is coming."

"Dalang, what do you want me to do?"

"Go and deliver this letter."

Wang Wencheng gave the letter to his confidant, who had followed him for many years and knew what Wang Wencheng meant without him having to say anything.

After taking the letter, he walked out.

Wang Wencheng thought about it, left the study and went to the back house.

"Miss."

Arriving at his first wife's room, Wang Wencheng called out in relief.

"What's the matter, sir?"

Wang Wencheng's wife asked.

“My lady, please prepare yourself, pack your bags, and leave for Yanqi with your family in two days.

Go wait for me at the house we bought.

If I don’t come in half a month, you will take them directly to the Western Regions and find a small country to live in seclusion.”

It seems that Wang Wencheng has already thought of a way out.

"My dear, has something happened? Has your affair been exposed?"

After Wang Wencheng's wife was brought here, she found out what Wang Wencheng had done.

"Don't worry about these. Ask someone to pack them up and try to take as much gold, silver, jade and jewelry as possible.

If copper coins are inconvenient to carry, just bring less, just enough for your journey.

Bring along the servants and families from the mansion, and I will arrange some guards and their families."

Wang Wencheng didn't say much, but just tried his best to arrange it. Although two days was a bit tight and many things couldn't be taken away.

But most of the property can still be taken away.

"What about Yan'er and Yihong? What should we do with them?

Should we send someone to notify them to come back and leave together?"

Wang Wencheng’s wife was referring to the eldest and second oldest sons in their family, Wang Yan and Wang Yihong.

“Don’t worry, I will send someone to inform them, but if they don’t come back, you will have to leave in two days.

I will ask them to look for you then.

Take the third, fourth and fifth sons with you, let them live well, succeed in life, and bring honor to my Wang family.

Don't let them learn from me, be decent people."

Wang Wencheng's last two sentences sounded more like instructions for his final affairs.

"My dear..." Wang Wencheng's wife shed tears. She knew that this matter was very serious, otherwise Wang Wencheng would not have said that.

"My dear, I have told you to stop, but you just won't listen. Don't take ill-gotten gains. Sooner or later, something bad will happen.

But you just....”
