Chapter 471
: Enemies are narrow
Tang Feng's name is now known in all prefectures and counties all over the world, so when he brought people back to Huizhou Prefecture, local officials had already come out to welcome him for several miles. Tang Feng had also come back here more than a year ago, but because his reputation was not obvious, he could pass by calmly, but this time it was different. If there were still people in the Ming Dynasty who didn't know that Tang Feng, who took Wei Zhongxian and his followers, who didn't even take the emperor seriously, wouldn't believe it.
There were still several miles away from Huizhou Prefecture City, and Tang Feng and his group were greeted by a large group of local officials wearing various official uniforms. Then, after a wave of flattery, they took Tang Feng and others into the city. Looking at the humble and funny officials around him, Tang Feng could only smile bitterly in his heart. His original meaning was to quietly go to She County. After meeting his father-in-law, he took Liu Hui and then set off again to Jiangnan. But he didn't know how the officials here could have such a good news. He greeted him early outside the city. Seeing them full of affection, Tang Feng had no choice but to deal with them first.
"Master Tang is indeed not an ordinary person. The eunuch party is so powerful that he dares to deceive the emperor and suppress the people. Even the officials in the court dare not say anything. Only Master Tang, you are not afraid of them, and you will eliminate the treacherous slander who is causing trouble for the world. It really makes us and other local officials admire him..." When we arrived at the city yamen and sat on the banquet to welcome Tang Feng, the local officials kept praising Tang Feng.
Tang Feng's ears were calloused to their words, but he still had to smile with a modest smile on his face: "Everyone is so praiseful. In fact, I am just a coincidence. If it weren't for the wise and wise, this eunuch party would never have been overthrown in this short time. So what we should thank is God and the current wise!"
"No, not bad! Lord Tang said very well! But Lord Tang also made a great contribution. I will give you another cup." Someone hurriedly said, raising his glass of wine again and said. Tang Feng glanced at the full glass of wine, and smiled bitterly in his heart. As soon as he arrived here today, he even drank several glasses. He didn't have much alcohol capacity, so he refused: "Listen to me, Tang came to Huizhou today for private matters, so he doesn't have to be so polite. If it's too late today, I can't bear it. I'm going to say goodbye!"
The reason why the officials were so polite was actually to find out the purpose of Tang Feng's visit to She County this time. You must know that when the eunuch party was in power, these people did not gain much benefit from this position, for fear that Tang Feng would follow the wise to investigate the corruption case. Just because he did not dare to ask openly and could not ask anything indirectly, everyone thought of getting it drunk with wine and letting him speak the truth while the wine was drunk. Now seeing Tang Feng came here when he said that it was some private matters, and he also thought that his wife was indeed a person in She County, Huizhou, the officials felt relieved.
However, because Tang Feng has an extraordinary status now, everyone could not let him leave like this, so they simply suggested that he rest in the city for one night, and it would not be too late to go on the road tomorrow morning. Tang Feng looked at the sky outside. It was already noon, and it was already a bit late to go on the road. Moreover, he was indeed a little drunk, so he received everyone's wishes and stayed overnight.
The next morning, Tang Feng took the people and continued to move forward. The officials of Huizhou Prefecture had another good time and sent them for nearly ten miles before watching them leave. Assisting the doubts was full of smiles along the way. Tang Feng asked, "Why are you so happy? Could it be that someone had treated you well last night? Or did he meet the woman he liked here?"
"Young Master, what are you talking about?" He clasped his lips and said, "I am happy that you can get the respect of the officials here. Think about it a few years ago, when the young master suffered a cold, I was the only one by me. Now it is really..."
After he mentioned this, Tang Feng also felt emotion in his heart. Yes, when he came to She County to take office, he didn't expect that today would be there, let alone that Tang Feng, who had actually disappeared long ago. If it weren't for all kinds of chances, he would have burned a high incense. Thinking of this, Tang Feng also sighed softly: "Okay, don't mention the past things, we should look forward now. In two days, we will be able to return to our hometown. At that time, parents and uncles will be proud of me underground." As he said that, he had already urged his horse to get off the horse and let it run forward faster, so that he could go to She County as soon as possible and see his wife and daughter.
In contrast to the hope and joyful mood of Tang Feng and others, a lonely figure was standing in front of a dilapidated house. It turned out to be a beautiful and vibrant house with many servants, beautiful scenery, and many relatives. But in just a few years, everything here has completely changed. The flowers and trees in the house have withered, and the servants have long been wandering outside or killed and flowing, and their relatives have all died of misfortune. Looking at this familiar but unfamiliar scene, the lonely Wang Dedao's face was filled with excitement.
The painful experience in Yunnan, the days when he had to be exhausted every day to have a meal, made Wang Dedao think that he would no longer have emotional fluctuations, but when he saw everything, he still couldn't control his mood.
After Wang Wenyan was arrested, the Wang family was confiscated, and all the valuable things were filled with the public and fell into the pockets of the eunuch party. It turned out that no one dared to provoke them in the local area, and the things that were not confiscated by the government were soon robbed by the people of She County. Whether it was bricks, stones, tiles, or portal pillars and beams, they would not be lenient. So in fact, in just a few months, the original extraordinary Wang family had already become a ruin.
All of this was caused by the arrival of the county magistrate named Tang Feng. This was a realization that Wang Dedao had already realized in his heart. If it weren't for his appearance, he wouldn't have been ruined, and his family would not have had a secret battle with him and eventually he would have to use his uncle. Then, the tragic incidents of the Wang family would not have happened one after another until the family was destroyed.
