The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 462

[Chapter 462 Governor Dong]

Dong Wu Mansion.

Wu Yong, the eldest young master of the Wu family, was in the courtyard, watching the dancers dancing gracefully.

A middle-aged steward hurried over and whispered a few words into his ear.

After Wu Yong heard this, he raised his eyes, looked at the middle-aged steward, and said coldly: “You can’t do this little thing well, what’s the use of our family raising you?”

The middle-aged steward lowered his head and didn’t dare to speak. .

Wu Yong turned his head and looked at the dancers, his expression gradually turned ferocious.

Bang –

a moment later, he slammed the table, stood up, waved his hands towards the dancers, and said loudly: “Master, I’m in a bad mood, all get out!”

When the dancers saw this, they looked at each other. They glanced at each other, not daring to stop at all, and all bowed and left.

The middle-aged steward stood nearby with his head lowered, not daring to say a word.

Wu Yong walked up to him and said coldly: “My father has gone to the Yamen, and the matter of Tang Mansion will be resolved in the next few days.

Those beggars, without Tang Mansion, are just a few dogs.

Even a few dogs You can’t solve it, tell me yourself, are you worse than a dog?”

When the middle-aged steward heard this, he trembled: “Master, it’s my fault, I’m useless.”

Wu Yong snorted coldly. Asked: “How many guards do we have in our house?”

The middle-aged steward subconsciously raised his eyes, looked at his young master, and whispered softly: “Young master, before I left the house, I specifically told you not to act recklessly.”

“Your Does this mean that I am reckless, young master?”

Wu Yong looked at the middle-aged steward coldly and asked.

When the middle-aged manager saw the look in his eyes, he suddenly didn’t dare to speak.

When Wu Yong saw this, he smiled: “You are right, young master, I am not only reckless, but also arrogant!”

The middle-aged steward lowered his head and did not dare to answer.

“Call all the guards in the mansion, young master, I will take them out of the city for a walk!”

“Here”

the middle-aged steward looked hesitant and did not dare to answer.

Wu Yong took a step forward, bent down and looked at the middle-aged steward in front of him. The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he said coldly: “Didn’t you hear what I said?”

The middle-aged steward remembered that he had been raped by this man before. Those who had broken the leg of the eldest young master of the Wu family immediately did not dare to raise any objections and hurriedly said: “Young man, I understand. Go and prepare now!”

On the other side, Gusu City Yamen.

Three middle-aged men were sitting at a table, sipping tea.

A policeman hurried over and whispered something into the ear of Dong Shuo, the prefect of Gusu City.

The prefect of Gusu City is a fat man with a big belly, but his eyebrows are somewhat sharp.

It always feels strange to have two completely different temperaments in the same person.

Of course, he will only show his sharpness when he encounters certain things. Normally, he gives people the same impression as his size.

So-called broad-minded and fat-bodied, most people will have a kind feeling when they first look at him.

Dong Shuo listened to the officer’s words, nodded, and said casually: “I know, keep watching, and report anything as soon as possible.”

“Yes, sir!”

After the officer accepted the order, he cupped his hands and turned around. Left the house.

The other two people in the room were a little curious when they saw this scene.

One of them asked: “Master Magistrate, I don’t know what it is that you need to personally take care of?”

Dong Shuo heard his voice, raised his eyes, looked at him, with a smile on his face, and said: “It’s nothing, it’s just your family The child left the city with some guards.

I asked the policemen in the government to help keep an eye on him so that he wouldn’t be hurt by those muddy legs.”

The man was slightly startled when he heard this.

Immediately, he reacted suddenly, with a look of urgency on his face: “Master Magistrate, before I left, I specifically told Quanzi to stay in the house as expected and not to cause any trouble at this juncture.

I didn’t expect that this would be useless. “Don’t worry,

Lord

Magistrate, I’ll send someone to chase him back right away!”

“No need to chase him.”

Magistrate Dong waved his hand, with a faint smile on his face, looking at the head of the Wu family, and said with a smile: ” It is human nature for young people to be young and energetic and get hot-headed when something happens.

It doesn’t hurt to let him go out to the city to cause trouble. “

“This”

the head of the Wu family was slightly startled when he heard this, as if he thought of something. There was a thoughtful look in his eyes.

After a moment, he raised his eyes, looked at Magistrate Dong, and asked: “Sir, do you mean to let Quanzi come forward first?”

“Hey”

before he could speak, Magistrate Dong interrupted: “I’m inviting you two today just to discuss our relationship. Let’s not talk about the cloth business in Gusu City or other matters.”

“I’m being rude.”

When the head of the Wu family heard this, he didn’t ask any more questions. He just cupped his hands and said, “It’s just, sir, most of the cloth business in Gusu City is under the control of Tang Mansion.

Our two families combined , not as good as three-tenths of that Tangfu Buzhuang, you.”

At this point, he paused and did not continue.

After hearing this, Magistrate Dong smiled and said: “Ten years ago, all the silk and cloth in the world were still in Jiangnan West Road. In just ten years, we in Jiangnan East Road took away the silk and cloth business. After all

, things are changing, so why should you two belittle yourselves? “

“This”

the head of the Wu family and the head of the Yan family, another of the three major aristocratic families in Gusu City, looked at each other and were stunned. See the twinkle in each other’s eyes.

“Master Magistrate, do you mean that you are willing to help us seize the Tang family’s cloth shop business?”

The heads of the Wu family and the Yan family are both mature people.

Even if Magistrate Dong made it clear and didn’t get an accurate answer, they still couldn’t believe that all this was true.

“If that were not the case, why would you two appear here today, sitting at the same table with me?”

Magistrate Dong picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said calmly.

When the two family heads heard this, they looked at each other.

Before that, they had noticed the subtle changes in Gusu City, so they strictly restrained the children of the mansion these days, for fear of causing any trouble.

Now it seems that they were right!

Without much hesitation, the two family heads stood up together, looked at Magistrate Dong in front of them, bowed solemnly, and said in unison: “We will definitely keep your kindness in mind, and we will do it in the future.” You will be rewarded!”

There is no guarantee that you will get something in return, but if you want to get benefits, you must pay.

This is the experience gained by the two family heads in Gusu City for many years.

Magistrate Dong did not hesitate to offend the family of Tang Zhengtong, the minister of household affairs, but also wanted to help him and others win the cloth and silk business. There must be a deeper reason behind it.

Both the head of the Wu family and the head of the Yan family understand this truth in their hearts.

But

no matter what, being able to snatch such a piece of fat from Tang Mansion is a rare thing!
