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

Wang Wencheng suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter full of desire and madness.

Wang Hongfu sat there holding a teacup, looking at Wang Wencheng expressionlessly.

Wang Wencheng's wife was frightened by Wang Wencheng's performance. It was the first time that her husband showed such an expression.

"Wang Wencheng, what's so funny, you've already lost.

Admitting guilt and accepting punishment is the only thing you can do now.

You wanted wealth and I gave it to you. I had planned to transfer you back to Chang'an City to help me in a few years.

But you actually did such a thing, committing such a heinous crime for your own selfish interests.

You deserve to die! Not only will your actions bring great trouble to His Royal Highness Prince Ji, but you have also put me in an unjust position.

You almost destroyed my family, Wang Wencheng, you deserve to die. I wish I could kill you right now."

Wang Hongfu looked at Wang Wencheng coldly and spoke word by word.

I originally wanted to promote Wang Wencheng, after all he was one of my own and I trusted him more.

But he didn't expect that this action almost killed him.

"Cousin..."

After hearing what Wang Hongfu said, Wang Wencheng's wife couldn't help but wanted to plead for mercy but was stopped by Wang Hongfu.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you now. I will take you back to Chang'an and let His Royal Highness Prince Ji make the decision himself.

At that time, whether you live or die will all depend on His Royal Highness Prince Ji.

And your family must go back with me.

Don't worry, I have sent people to capture your eldest and second sons, and they will be reunited with you soon."

“Cousin, everyone is responsible for their own actions, and they have nothing to do with what I did.

I am willing to die as a token of my guilt, they are innocent.”

When Wang Wencheng heard that his family was being taken away, he finally lost his composure. If he had not been escorted by the guards, he would have rushed to Wang Hongfu to beg for mercy.

"Innocent? Don't you know what your two sons did in the workshop?

Are they the ones who manage the weaving workshops and cotton processing workshops?

Not to mention the oppression of laborers, the two of them were also harming women and taking human lives.

Over the years, no less than ten people have died at the hands of these two.

You still tell me you are innocent?"

When Wang Hongfu heard Wang Wencheng plead innocent, he was dismissive.

"what?"

Wang Wencheng's wife had the biggest reaction. Her face was filled with shock and she looked at Wang Wencheng.

"My dear, didn't you say that Dalang and Erlang were doing serious things?

You promised me not to let them get involved, you promised me."

Wang Wencheng's wife grabbed Wang Wencheng's clothes and cried bitterly.

His two sons were about to die.

Killing someone means paying with your life, let alone so many people.

There was some pain on Wang Wencheng's face. He let his wife shake him woodenly, but he didn't know how to explain it.

"Come here, send your mistress back to the back house."

Seeing his sister-in-law collapse, Wang Hongfu gave an order.

Several maids came forward and helped Wang Wencheng's wife down.

"Wang Wencheng, at this point you still don't know that you have done something wrong?

Because of your own selfishness, you harmed your two sons. You should know what happened to them.

I really want to know, what made you who you are today?"

Wang Hongfu looked at Wang Wencheng. He couldn't understand and he was very curious.

"What is it? Of course it's because of you."

Wang Wencheng raised his head and looked at Wang Hongfu, with intense jealousy in his eyes.

"You were just lucky enough to meet King Ji, which allowed you to rise to prominence.

You offended the Du family and implicated our entire Wang family.

The family business was seized by the Du family. Everyone is talking about you, saying that you are not doing your job well, that you are incompetent, and that the family business will be destroyed sooner or later in your hands.

At that time, the whole clan had decided to hand over all the business to me.

But you were lucky enough to get to know Prince Ji, and from then on you rose to fame.

Now everyone in the family says that you are talented, that you have a far-sighted vision, and that you are great.

I am not satisfied!

I have been better than you since I was young. I am better at studying and more capable than you. You just have some luck.

If it were me, I would do better than you and make the Wang family more glorious."

Wang Wencheng had fallen into madness, and Wang Hongfu just looked at him quietly.

He remembered what King Ji had said to him.

Jealousy can make a person unrecognizable, make him lose his reason, make his heart ugly and push him into the abyss.

This is the case with Wang Wencheng before him. He has lost his reason, his heart has become ugly, and now he has fallen into an abyss.

"Is that why you're here?"

Wang Hongfu took a sip of tea and asked calmly.

"Hahahaha, of course, isn't this reason enough?

I want everyone in my family to know that I, Wang Wencheng, am better than you, Wang Hongfu. Whatever you can do, I can do as well, and even better than you.

Isn’t it because of Queen Ji that you are where you are today?

I, Wang Wencheng, can do the same.

If you can rely on King Ji, I will also..."

At this point, Wang Wencheng suddenly shut up, and Wang Hongfu frowned.

"What?"

"I can also... I can also rely on His Royal Highness Prince Ji and let His Royal Highness Prince Ji know that I am stronger than you."

Wang Wencheng said confidently.

"Humph! Is this how you prove your ability to His Royal Highness Prince Ji?

Wang Wencheng, it seems that I really overestimated you. Do you think that His Royal Highness Prince Ji will use you if you do all these things?

What you are doing will only bring endless trouble to His Royal Highness Prince Ji. Do you think His Royal Highness Prince Ji will let you go?

How naive. "

Wang Hongfu snorted coldly, his contemptuous expression was obvious at a glance, which made Wang Wencheng feel even more uncomfortable.

"Reporting to Shopkeeper Wang, the people who were sent out have returned. According to the list, except for a few who resisted and were executed, the rest have been captured and brought back."

Just then, a soldier outside came in to report.

"Where are the two thieves I was talking about?"

"Reporting to Shopkeeper Wang, those two people did not resist and were the first to surrender."

the soldier replied.

"The rest of the people are taken together with the previous ones, and the two bandit leaders are brought in."

Wang Hongfu gave an order.

The soldier agreed and walked out. Wang Hongfu didn't say anything and just looked at Wang Wencheng.

After a while, there was a noisy sound outside.

"Let me go. Do you know who I am? Which palace soldiers are you from?"

"You governors must show some courtesy to me when you see me. We are the treasurers of Prince Ji's mansion. Please release us immediately."

Two young men were escorted in by several soldiers, still shouting.

The first person they saw when they came in was Wang Wencheng.

"Aye, save us, they want to kill us."

“Yes, Aye, they rushed into the workshop without any reason, killed many people, and captured us.

Aye, please save us."

“Pah~Pah~”

Wang Wencheng had a cold face and slapped each of them.

The two of them were stunned in an instant.

They are Wang Wencheng’s two sons, the eldest son Wang Yan and the second son Wang Yihong.

Even after being beaten by their father, they did not dare to refute and just stared at Wang Wencheng blankly.
