The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 407

[Chapter 407 The Head of the Tang Family]

Wu Mansion, a certain room.

“What!?”

Manager Jiang looked at the boy who reported to him, with a look of shock on his face, and asked, “No one survived?”

The boy knelt on the ground, trembling, and replied: “Yes. , not one of them survived, the corpses were all on the street, and were only removed by the government’s agents early this morning.” When

Manager Jiang heard this, he frowned, waved his hand, and said, “I understand, you can go down. “

“Yes!”

After the boy left, Manager Jiang stood up and walked around the room.

Then, he steeled himself and walked out of the house.

“You promised me,”

the eldest young master of the Wu family said coldly, looking at Manager Jiang in front of him.

“Yes, young master, I promised you.”

Manager Jiang nodded and said, “But young master, I have already inquired, these people are from the capital.

What kind of place is the capital? Under the emperor’s feet, there is a crouching tiger, hidden dragon, whatever. There is no aristocratic family that our Wu family can afford to offend.

Although the people I sent are not as good as the real masters, they are not that bad, so”

“So what?”

The eldest young master of the Wu family said coldly. Look at him.

When Manager Jiang saw this scene, he lowered his head and said nothing.

“Why don’t you say anything?”

The eldest young master of the Wu family took a step forward and looked at him.

Manager Jiang thought for a while, gritted his teeth, raised his eyes to look at the eldest young master in front of him, and said, “So young master, you’d better stop. This period is a critical moment for our Wu family. We must not make any mistakes!”

” Bullshit!”

The eldest young master of the Wu family grabbed a piece of porcelain next to him, slammed it to the ground, and said angrily: “They are just beggars, how can they come up with so much nonsense!

I tell you, these people must die today!

If you don’t want to do it, fine, I’ll do it myself!”

After he finished yelling, he was about to walk out of the house.

When Manager Jiang saw this scene, he hurriedly stopped in front of him and advised: “Master, calm down.”

“Get out of here!”

The eldest young master of the Wu family pushed him away and went to the house without saying a word. Go outside.

When Manager Jiang saw this, a look of helplessness appeared on his face. He stood there, thought about it, and then rushed forward.

“Master, please give me another chance. You don’t need to do this yourself. In seven days, I will follow your instructions and make those five beggars disappear from Gusu City!”

“Three days! Here you go. Three days!”

The eldest young master of the Wu family snorted and turned back to his house.

In the entire courtyard, for a moment, only Manager Jiang was left, standing there with a gloomy expression on his face, as if he was thinking about something.

Tang Mansion, study room.

Tang Hao was holding a copy of “Elementary Physics” produced by Zhuxuanzhai in his hand, frowning, stopping from time to time to take a sip of tea.

This “Elementary Physics” is really too obscure and difficult to understand.

Even a self-proclaimed smart person like him could only understand a little bit of it after reading it for a few days.

I really don’t know who this author named Fang Xiu is, who is able to figure out the truth of all things in the world to such an extent.

After reading for a while, I still couldn’t understand what Fang Xiu’s first law was, so I had to put down the book and prepare to take a rest.

At this time, the door was pushed open.

A middle-aged steward stood in front of him and said respectfully: “Master, I want you to go there.”

Tang Hao nodded and asked: “What is the matter?”

“No.”

“Okay, I Let’s go.”

Tang Hao stood up, followed the middle-aged manager to another study room, and walked in.

Looking at his father who was only middle-aged but already full of wrinkles and gray hair, Tang Hao felt a lot in his heart.

“Father, you are looking for me.”

“Well, there are some things that you need to do.”

The head of the Tang Mansion, Tang Hao’s father, raised his eyes, glanced at Tang Hao, and said slowly: “Father, I want to do something recently. After thinking about it, there are not many people who are qualified to open a few shops in the capital. In the end, I still want you to go.”

“Yes, father, Hao’er understands.”

Tang Hao didn’t hesitate at all when he heard this. , the opening should be lowered.

But the next second, he noticed something was wrong.

He is the first heir of the Tang family, the next head of the family, and the only legitimate son.

According to common sense, one should stay in Gusu City and become familiar with the business in Jiangnan Province. After all, this is the foundation of Tang Mansion.

Since you want to open another cloth shop in the capital, you can send a shopkeeper who is familiar with the cloth shop business there, why do you have to choose yourself?

Thinking of this, a look of confusion appeared on his face and he asked: “Father, has something happened recently?”

The head of the Tang family took a deep look at Tang Hao and said in a deep voice: “You have been thoughtful since you were a child. , some things cannot be hidden from you.

Let me ask you, do you know why our Tang family has been able to develop smoothly in Gusu City over the years, and even annexed several Wu family shops? No one dares to say anything?”

When Tang Hao heard this, he looked thoughtful, and then replied: “Of course it’s because of my second uncle.”

“Yes, because your second uncle is an official in the capital, and he is in the third rank. He is the minister of the Ministry of Finance.”

The head of the Tang family nodded and continued: “Although this is the reason, it is not only that, but also because His Highness Prince Ning is standing behind our Tang family!” “

Prince Ning”

Tang Hao! Hearing this, I was a little surprised, but not too surprised.

After all, Prince Ning’s mother-in-law is from Gusu, so it is reasonable to have some connection with Tang Mansion.

“What does His Highness Prince Ning have to do with our Tang Mansion?”

Tang Hao looked at his father and asked.

The head of the Tang family had a solemn look on his face, and explained in a serious tone: “Nine times out of ten, the money earned from our Tang family’s business will be sent to the capital. I didn’t tell you this before because I was afraid that you would have too much money.” I think.

But now I have to tell you.”

When Tang Hao heard this, he finally understood something. He looked at his father and said in surprise: “So, Master Zhifu, the head of the Wu family also knows?

” Of course they know, if not, why have they kept giving in all these years, because they understand that the Tang Mansion is not the Tang Mansion in the eyes of others, but the money bag of Prince Ning’s Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River.

Otherwise, the Wu family is in the capital. There is also a Censor, although he is not as powerful as your second uncle, but he is not so afraid of our Tang family.”

“Then tell me this today.”

Tang Hao seemed to have thought of something, and his face changed. Something didn’t look good, so he asked.

The head of the Tang family sighed and said: “Some time ago, news came from the capital. The palace has probably made a decision. Compared with His Highness Prince Ning, His Majesty still prefers His Highness Prince Kang.”

There is no need to say more about the rest. , Tang Hao also completely understood.
