Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Whatever Prince Ji finds out must be treated seriously, even if it is false.

What's more, Wang Hongfu didn't think that Prince Ji would frame a nobody like Wang Wencheng.

Zhang Biao's confession is just the icing on the cake. It would be the same with or without Zhang Biao's confession.

He just wanted Wang Wencheng to accept his fate and regret it.

Wang Wenben originally wanted to say something, but when he saw Wang Hongfu's eyes and expression, he knew that he could no longer hide his affairs.

"Take down all these people."

At Ashina Liang's command, the infantry rushed forward and tied up all the guards and servants behind Wang Wencheng.

Only Wang Wencheng was left standing there alone.

Wang Hongfu then got off the horse and came in front of Wang Wencheng, followed by the guards of Prince Ji's mansion.

After taking a look at the carriages parked at the door, Wang Hongfu waved his hand.

A guard immediately went over to check each carriage.

"Please inform Shopkeeper Wang that there are a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry here."

The guard came back and reported.

"What? Are you planning to escape? It seems like you knew I was coming."

Wang Hongfu asked.

"Cousin, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. If you can spare me for the sake of our common clan, I will give you all these treasures."

Wang Wencheng said seriously.

Wang Hongfu didn't say anything, but walked towards the carriage, and Wang Wencheng could only follow.

Under the guidance of the guards, Wang Hongfu opened a box filled with jewels, pearls, agates, jade and other treasures.

Wang Hongfu grabbed a handful, took a look, then let go and put it back.

I looked at several boxes in a row and they were all similar. Not only did they contain jewels, but also precious medicinal herbs and rare treasures.

There are also a dozen carts of gold.

After reading it, Wang Hongfu said:

"Wang Wencheng, you also know that the winners are the kings and the losers are the bandits. The fact that I came here to arrest you shows that His Highness Prince Ji knows everything about you.

Don't even think about escaping King Ji's punishment.

And these things are not yours, they belong to His Royal Highness Prince Ji and Prince Ji’s Mansion.”

Wang Hongfu continued to shout out the last two sentences, not only for Wang Wencheng to hear, but more importantly for Ashina Liang to hear.

There is a lot of money here. Wang Hongfu just estimated that there are at least hundreds of thousands of strings of cash. The gold on the carriage alone is worth this amount.

These barbarian soldiers must not be robbed out of greed for money.

"Young Master, I still need to interrogate this rebel, so please send someone to keep an eye on these carriages.

Especially those treasures, they are the treasures of His Royal Highness Prince Ji, I must not make any mistakes, otherwise His Royal Highness Prince Ji will be furious and I will lose my life."

Wang Hongfu turned around and came to Ashina Liang and pleaded.

Anyone who knows a little bit about Prince Ji knows that he loves money like his life.

Wang Hongfu said this in order to gain Ashina Li's attention. When Prince Ji gets angry, he can do anything.

"Haha, Shopkeeper Wang, don't worry, I will have someone take good care of your uncle's things, and nothing will be missing.

If you have something to do, just go ahead and do it. We'll wait outside. I'll give you 300 people to go in together, just in case."

Ashina Liang laughed and assured.

He randomly assigned three hundred men to Wang Hongfu, and then gave an order to one of his men:

"Take your men and keep a close eye on the carriage. Don't move anything on it. If you leave anything behind, I'll chop off your head."

"Yes."

Wang Hongfu finally felt relieved after seeing this scene. He turned around and came to Wang Wencheng:

"Let's go in and talk."

Under the escort of the guards, Wang Wencheng followed Wang Hongfu into the manor.

It is not difficult to build a manor here, but the layout of the manor is difficult.

Resources are scarce here, and most materials have to be transported from inside the country, and the transportation costs are a considerable expense.

Walking into the manor, Wang Hongfu was shocked by the scene before him. The manor was dotted with pavilions and towers, dotted with rockery and pools, and decorated with exotic flowers, plants and trees.

Although they have turned yellow, one can still imagine the scene of competing with each other in beauty.

The hall is magnificent with carved beams and painted buildings.

The walls are covered with calligraphy and paintings by famous artists, and the tables and chairs are all made of fine sandalwood.

Every detail reveals Wang Wencheng's wealth and taste.

Wang Hongfu sighed inwardly, thinking that Wang Wencheng really knew how to enjoy the luxury of the manor.

Sitting in the main seat, Wang Hongfu looked at Wang Wencheng with mixed feelings.

"My sister-in-law has met my uncle."

Just when Wang Hongfu was about to speak, Wang Wencheng's wife walked in from outside.

"Madam, what are you doing here? Go back quickly. I have something important to discuss with my cousin."

Seeing his wife, Wang Wencheng hurried forward. He didn't want his wife to see his fate.

"My dear, my cousin is here, so I have to come over to greet him.

Cousin, please have some tea."

As he said this, he took the teapot from the maid and came to Wang Hongfu to pour tea for him.

"Haha, sister-in-law, you're too polite."

Wang Hongfu smiled politely.

After Wang Wencheng's wife poured the tea, she showed no intention of leaving, which made Wang Hongfu a little unsure of how to start the conversation.

"Cousin, my sister-in-law knows why you are here. My husband has done something wrong and he deserves to be punished.

However, considering that he and his cousin are from the same clan, could he be spared this time?

I have elderly parents at home and three sons, so I can’t live without you, my husband, as the pillar of support.”

Unexpectedly, Wang Wencheng's wife spoke first, and she began to wipe away tears as she spoke.

"Three sons?"

Wang Hongfu was stunned. Didn’t Wang Wencheng only have four sons, two of whom had grown up and the other two were young?

"Cousin, you don't know that the fifth child was born at the beginning of the year. He was born to my concubine."

Wang Wencheng's wife explained.

"Oh~~I see." Wang Hongfu suddenly realized.

"Sister-in-law, it's not that I'm heartless, it's just that what Wencheng did has angered the heavens and the people.

When His Royal Highness Prince Ji learned about this, he was furious.

There is nothing I can do as a brother.

Did you know that because of Wencheng's incident, King Ji almost took his anger out on me, accusing me of colluding with Wencheng?

My brother's family was almost destroyed, but thanks to Princess Ji and Wang Changshi's pleading for him, he was able to save his life and make amends for his crime.

How can you ask me to talk about this?"

Wang Hongfu did not make things difficult for Wang Wencheng's wife.

"this......"

Wang Wencheng's wife didn't know what to say. Because of her husband's affair, her family was almost destroyed.

It is our own family that feels guilty towards others.

Wang Hongfu talked lightly:

"Alas~~ Wang Wencheng, you were originally an honest person, why did you become like this after arriving in Xizhou?

They dared to collude with the local authorities to become powerful, oppress the local people, and deprive the workers of their jobs.

You even dared to kill people and force people to buy and sell things, and more importantly, you colluded with local officials.

Do you know how much trouble this will bring to His Royal Highness Prince Ji?

Tell me! What are you doing this for? "

Wang Hongfu really felt a little disappointed with his cousin. This was his own cousin.

"Hahahaha, for what? Of course it's to be a superior person like you!"

(I looked up some information and found out what a sister-in-law should call her husband's elder brother.

I found out that in the Tang Dynasty people called their uncle uncle, but I don’t know if it’s true or not.)
