Chapter 28 The old man is just repaying his gratitude

"Second Young Master, why did you go to Hangzhou alone today? You are also going to attend the official poetry meeting?" Wang Zuo, who was sitting under Wang Yi's head, looked stern, and asked with some anger.

Once back to the village, Wang Zuo accompanied Wang Yi back to the house and drove everyone out, and the two of them spoke alone.

The noise today was too big, and Wang Zuo was full of anger. He had to warn Wang Yi!

Over the years, all they have to do is to lie dormant and try to avoid causing trouble. Now, Wang Yi went to Hangzhou privately and caused such a big disturbance and used a lot of power. Although there was no accident, this was the result that Wang Zuo didn't want to see!

Wang Yi, who had never seen Wang Zuo's majestic expression, was a little scared and said stutteringly: "Uncle Zuo, today is Double Ninth Festival. I just want to take Tan'er to Hangzhou City to take a look and go to Qiantang Lake to play. I saw that Wu Mountain was very lively by Qiantang Lake, so I went up to catch the fun... I didn't know there was a poetry gathering on the mountain!"

Wang Zuo was still angry, "I have told you to the second young master. You want to come out of the village to tell us and bring a few more people to avoid accidents. If the assassin comes to you or the third girl today, what accidents do you two have? How do you tell me to you... how do you explain to the people in the village?"

Wang Yi stared at Wang Zuo for a moment, and asked in a muffled voice: "Uncle Zuo, I want to ask, is that assassin pretending to be us?"

Wang Zuo was stunned. He didn't expect Wang Yi to ask so directly, and he didn't know how to answer!

Seeing Wang Zuo performing like this, Wang Yi had already fully understood and took advantage of the situation to continue asking: "Uncle Zuo, I know that it must have been planned by Wang Fu, and they just wanted to destroy the poem today, not to assassinate anyone!"

"Why do you say that?" Wang Zuo's tone of speaking was much less severe than before!

"It can be seen from the scene that the arrow shot so far from governor Li, and... After the chaos in the field began, Tan'er was rescued immediately, and Wang Fu brought so many people to help!" Wang Zuo's voice softened, and Wang Yi's confidence came up. He looked at Wang Zuo and asked again: "And... I also want to know if we opened the Mengxiang Building? Is the shopkeeper in the restaurant Wang Ting's father?"

After hearing this inquiry, Wang Zuo looked at Wang Yi for a while and put away his angry expression just now and said a little depressedly: "It turns out that the second young master has seen it!" All the words of accusation against Wang Yi that had been thinking about along the way disappeared, there is no need to say it again! Some of the compulsory measures that Wang Zuo originally wanted to take against Wang Yi were completely unnecessary, and other countermeasures needed to be taken!

The young master who is only fifteen years old in front of him is really not simple in his mind. He cannot be treated as an ignorant child no matter what!

"I know that the purpose of that arrow is to create chaos. Wang Fu sent someone to follow me after entering Hangzhou City today, and he was very clear about me when I walked there, so he could appear on Wushan so quickly!" Wang Yi said with a faint expression.

Wang Yi now knew that on Mount Wu, he saw that the man who looked like Wang Fu was indeed Wang Fu. The people led by Wang Fu should be about the same time as him. Moreover, there were quite a few people led by Wang Fu, and there were arrangements in other places on the mountain!

Wang Zuo heard the complaint in Wang Yi's tone, and did not explain, but asked back: "Have you ever thought about why our people shot that arrow when Li Hongjie asked about your identity?"

"I don't know!" Wang Yi shook his head, he had never thought of this.

"Then how did the second young master want to tell his identity?" Wang Zuo's face became a little majestic again.

"This..." Wang Yi originally wanted to tell the truth, that is, where he lives and what kind of master of the Zhuangzi, but when he heard Wang ask such an inquiry, Wang Yi also had other ideas. It was really not appropriate to say that. He also understood why the arrow shot out when Li Hongjie asked about his identity.

"I haven't gone up the mountain today, but I also know that the arrow shot at the time, otherwise it would be difficult for you to express your identity, second son, right?" Wang Zuo stared at Wang Yi with bright eyes.

Wang Yi nodded reluctantly, "Yes, I don't know how to say it well, but Uncle Zuo, why don't you tell me my true identity, my father's name and identity? If you tell me, then there will be no problem?"

"Second Young Master, I told you that it is not the time for you to know your true identity, but you can rest assured that after some days, I will tell you everything in detail. I believe that with the wisdom of the second master, I must know that there must be a reason that I cannot say when I do this, right?" Wang Fu did not hesitate at all when he said this!

Wang Yi and Wang Zuo looked at each other for a while, but finally lost. They nodded helplessly, "Uncle Zuo, then I won't ask anymore. When the time comes, you can tell me in detail!"

After hearing what Wang Yi said, Wang Zuo breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with satisfaction: "I know that with the wisdom of the second young master, I will definitely understand my difficulties. I did this, but I don't want any accidents between the second young master and the third girl!"

"Thank you for your hard work, I understand! But from now on, what identity will I appear in front of others?" Wang Yi said and lowered his voice: "Yu Bu, I have acted like this today. I believe that Li Jun and Zhou Mingfu both knew me. They will definitely meet them in the future. There are other people. If they ask, how do I express it?"

After hearing Wang Yi's question, Wang Zuo said without hesitation: "The second young master originally lived in Yuhang County. His ancestors have been officials in the previous dynasty. Your father's surname is Wang Hui and his mother's surname is Zhang. They passed away five years ago. You and your family just moved from Yuhang County to Hangzhou City last summer." Wang Zuo paused for a moment, and continued to say: "Li Hongjie just took office at the beginning of this year. Zhou Duan has been serving as the magistrate of Qiantang County for the past three years. Yuhang County Magistrate died suddenly last year... Also, there is indeed a second young master and third girl from a wealthy family named Wang who had just moved to Hangzhou City last summer and lived in Qinghefang. They rarely show up in public. This is the current identity of the second young master and the third girl! In a few days, the second young master and the third girl will live in Qinghefang!"

"Oh!" Wang Yi stared at Wang Zuo in surprise. The old fox-like subordinate in front of him had prepared everything, and he was really not an ordinary person. However, he asked in some confusion: "Uncle Zuo, do you let me live in Hangzhou City? Tan'er will go together?"

Wang Zuo nodded and said with great certainty: "That's right, after you act like this today, you can only live in Hangzhou City. Of course, the third girl will go too! But she will have to stay for another ten days and a half months before she can go. I still need to arrange something!"

"Okay! Uncle Zuo is really thoughtful, I will let it go to Uncle Zuo's arrangements!"

Wang Zuo stood up and bowed to Wang Yishi: "Second Young Master, I won't say much today. Let's arrange things first. Come over and talk to you tomorrow. If you need to pay attention to when you go to Hangzhou, I will go out first!"

"Uncle Zuo..." Wang Yi suddenly wanted to ask who the woman he saw today was, but he couldn't ask until his mouth.

"Second Young Master, what else should I give to me?" Wang Zuo stopped, a little confused!

"Uncle Zuo, it's nothing, just... thank you!" Wang Zuo jumped out and bowed and gave a big gift.

As soon as these words were said, Wang Zuo was stunned when he saw Wang Yi performing this great gift, his eyes became hot, and his face showed an excited look. He hurriedly helped Wang Yi up: "Second Young Master, you don't have to do this. This is what I should do. I am just repaying my kindness... I will go first!"

------------------

"Father, the second young master is like this today. What should we do in the future?" Wang Fu was a little worried. The noise today was a bit too big. Although there was no trace left, there would definitely be some storms in Hangzhou. Now the public security in Hangzhou is still relatively chaotic, and small bandits often appear. It is not surprising that someone assassinated Li Hongjie. Wang Fu has directed such actions more than once or twice, so he was not worried about this. What he was worried about was Wang Yi, who had already shown his face in front of Li Hongjie and Zhou Duan, and in front of the scholars in Hangzhou today. What should his current master do in the future? How to act in Hangzhou? Will Li Hongjie doubt Wang Yi?

"Did the second young master go to the poetry meeting today?" Wang Zuo stared at Wang Fu and asked.

Wang Fu shook his head, "Father, after the second young master entered Hangzhou City today, the child kept following him. He didn't know that there was a poetry meeting on Wushan, but Wang Ting talked too much and said it casually. The second young master decided to climb the mountain to join in the fun!"

Wang Zuo breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, in the future... Of course, we cannot restrict the activities of the second young master, and we cannot let him stay in the village anymore. We must let him live in Hangzhou City. After he performed like this today, if he suddenly disappeared, Li Hongjie would definitely be suspicious. Also, the autumn harvest has ended, and the training of these people in the village must be completely restored. It is better not to let the second young master see it! But some things need to be arranged again, and we will go there in a few days and go there early next month.

"Well," Wang Zuo said and sighed, "The second young master's talent is far beyond our surprise. Today's performance on Wushan was not only surprised, but also the people present were amazed! I thought, or the second young master was determined to participate in the imperial examination. I heard that there were excellent authors at today's poetry meeting, so I could get a quota for tribute students in the township. The quota for tribute students in the township was very tempting for him, so he stood out... But how could he know that if the general was rehabilitated, why did he need to participate in the imperial examination?"

"Father, do you want to explain it to the second young master?" Wang Fu asked carefully!

Wang Zuo shook his head, "It's not the time yet. I have told him about my planned identity. Our previous arrangements can come in handy. Let him live in the mansion in Hangzhou as this identity, and you can be the butler for him!"

"Yes, father!" Wang Fu understood what Wang Zuo meant, but asked in a little puzzled manner: "But, will the second young master doubt more?"

"Of course he would doubt it, but I thought he would act according to this identity. He knew the importance of it," Wang Zuo said with emotion. "Although the second young master is young, he is so talented. Now he is not bad in martial arts. He will definitely be far superior to the general in literary and martial arts. Seeing the second young master's behavior, I will listen to what he just said, his scheming is not bad, and he is quite experienced. I believe that he will be even better if he grows up. Alas! If the general is as scheming as the second young master, he will definitely not be harmed by the traitor that day..."

Wang Fu nodded in agreement, "Father, the child also thinks so... The general is brave in fighting and has outstanding strategy... but he is too straightforward, so he has the opportunity to take advantage of the traitor. If the general is more careful, he will definitely be able to see through the letters made by the traitor. With the tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the hands of the general, let alone deal with the traitor who had no military power at that time, even if the general wants to be the king, the court will not do anything to him in the short term! The general and his wife were killed by the traitor, and most of our family members... and the family members of the brothers are gone, and General Kan. All of this is thanks to the traitor. He deserves the consequences!"

"That's true, he's still alive. It's a pity that the tens of thousands of brothers with outstanding combat power under the general were all tortured," Wang Zuo stood with his back to Wang Fu, with infinite sadness on his face. "We have less than ten thousand people left now. Although these people are elites in the Jianghuai army, they are too few and it's too difficult to plan major events. What's more, as today's peace of mind, the people are determined... it's even more difficult!"

"Father, then do we still want it..."

"You have to..." Wang Zuo interrupted Wang Yi's words and said very firmly. "Everything will still be done when there is a definite news in Chang'an. The eldest son's life and death are uncertain. The second son has just recovered his mind and does not know the specific situation. We must make several preparations now, but we must do it in secret! We cannot let the second son know that the second son has appeared in public and we cannot make any mistakes any more!"

"Yes, father!"

Wang Zuo looked a little depressed, sat back on the couch and said a little regretfully: "Oh! I shouldn't have told the second young master some things that I didn't say to him that day. Some things were unclear, which made the second young master even more confused. Now I don't know how to answer his inquiries!"

"Father, the child has already ordered the people in Zhuang. Even if the second son has any doubts, no one can tell the second son about the affairs of the general and his wife, as well as the situation of Zhuangzi!" Wang Fu knew his father's conflict!

Wang Zuo shook his head, "Even if we don't say it, the second young master will know it in his own way sooner or later. Just now, he has only entered Mengxianglou once, and it will be obvious that this is our property, and the shopkeeper Wang Nan is also Wang Ting's father! So, we must be more careful in the future and never let the second young master have any accidents... You can arrange for the second young master and the third girl to go to Hangzhou first! Those who follow the second young master should also give some instructions, and you can't talk about anything casually. And, add a few more people!"

"Yes! Father, the child knows..." Wang Fu bowed out!
