Chapter 493 It's Not What You Think! (Please subscribe!)
Zhang Twelve didn't know what was happening in the front hall of Zhao's house at this moment.

When he led that servant outside the gate of King Kang's mansion, he didn't think about framing him. After all, how could such a simple person like him think of such vicious means?
But who knew that things would happen so wrongly, but he was also happy to see such things, after all, a dog eats a dog, harmless, happy to hear it!
Then Zhang Twelve went straight back to Wang's house.

The two servants outside Wang's house were very impressed with Zhang Twelve. After all, he was a man who could make both the young master and the master value him, so they let him in without stopping him.

At noon, Wang Chengen also came back from the yamen, sitting in the front hall, thinking about something.

Suddenly seeing Zhang Twelve coming in from the door, his face was overjoyed, he immediately greeted him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, you are back!"

Zhang Twelve nodded, and without waiting for Wang Chengen to ask, he said directly: "There is indeed a lot of grain in the Zhao family's grain farm!"

Wang Chengen nodded. He could guess it, but it was just a guess all the time. There is no evidence, no real evidence, who can admit it?
"How did Mr. Zhang know?"

Wang Chengen asked curiously.

"Because Zhao Baiyu promised me to sell grain at a lower price!"

"Sell food at a reduced price? How much has it been reduced?"

Wang Chengen said in surprise.

"Fifty Wen!"

"Fifty Wen? That's 350 Wen a catty..."

After hearing this, Wang Chengen didn't have much surprise on his face, because the food price had been raised to a super high price of 350 Wen a catty before, but now it has been reduced by [-] Wen. Although it is a lot, the price of [-] Wen is still not enough. Low!

So Wang Chengen's face was not so excited.

Zhang Twelve said with a smile: "Prefect Wang misunderstood. It's not that the price was reduced by fifty Wen, but that it was only sold for fifty Wen per catty!"

"Fifty Wen a catty?"

Wang Chengen almost yelled out. After saying this, he realized that he had lost his composure. He immediately calmed down and asked again: "Mr. Zhang, are you telling the truth? The price of food is really the same as before. Fifty cents a catty?"

Zhang Twelve smiled and nodded: "Exactly!"

If it wasn't for worrying about so many servant girls in the mansion, Wang Chengen really wanted to dance wantonly to enjoy himself!
If the price of food is really fifty cents a catty, what kind of homelessness is there to worry about!
Happiness came so suddenly, he was still a little uncertain: "Mr. Zhang, this is true——no, how did you do it?"

It's no wonder that Wang Chengen didn't believe in Zhang Twelve, it was really incredible.

Zhang Twelve didn't care, so he told how he negotiated with Zhao Baiyu. Wang Chengen nodded and was amazed. When he heard Zhao Baiyu's conditions, he fell into deep thought again.

What Zhao Baiyu and Zhang Twelve were thinking, Wang Chengen naturally thought of everything, and he was also worried that after two days when Zhao Qingfeng returned to Zhao's house, the food price would return to the original level again!

Nearly [-] food for two days is a drop in the bucket for such a huge city of Jinling, how can it work?

At this time, Wang Chengen was even thinking, can Zhang Twelve send Zhao Qingfeng back later?For example, delay him for a few days, dozens of days, or months?

But he is embarrassed to tell Zhang Twelve that he is a dignified magistrate, isn't he instigating others to commit crimes—although he is already committing crimes...

Zhang Twelve also saw what Wang Chengen was worried about, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about Wang Zhifu! Since I said that I can help you deal with this matter, I naturally have a way! As long as Wang Zhifu cooperates with me when the time comes." yes!"

Wang Chengen nodded after hearing this. Before, he just blindly believed in the man in front of him, but who knew that it only took half a day for him to ask the Zhao family to lower the price of food. Let me ask you this ability, who else can you trust if you don’t believe him? ?
So he hurriedly let Zhang Twelve into the house, it was already noon, and it was time to eat, and he immediately ordered the back kitchen to add some dishes and brought a jar of wine.

In the room, Mrs. Wang and Wang Yunshi's siblings were already sitting at the dining table. If they hadn't waited for Wang Chengen, they would have started eating long ago.

Seeing Zhang Twelve's return, both Wang Yunshi and Wang Ba's eyes were full of excitement, but the reasons for their excitement were different!

Only Mrs. Wang, who saw "Zhang Sanshu" for the first time, was a little surprised, and she looked at Zhang Twelve a few more times: Is this the mysterious man whose daughter and son kept boasting just now?

this dress...

This look...

It really doesn't take the usual way!

"Master, who is this...Young Master?"

Mrs. Wang asked first.

"Ma'am, let me introduce you! This is Mr. Zhang Sanshu Zhang, who is from Taizhou. He once stayed in Liangzhou. He is half of our fellow countryman!"

Then he turned to Zhang Twelve and said, "Master Zhang, this is a bitch!"

Zhang Twelve smiled and nodded at Mrs. Wang, and then praised: "I only met Mr. Wang and Ms. Wang before, but I never met Mrs. Wang. When I see you today, I can finally know that Ms. Wang and Mr. Wang can have the same relationship as they are now." This shocking face is all because of Mrs. Wang!"

"........."

With the first sentence, Zhang Twelve's flattery started.

Wang Ba is not too stupid, he can understand that Zhang Twelve is praising him and his sister for their good looks, and he is very proud of himself, standing upright, and Wang Yunshi already knows Zhang Twelve's identity, and secretly glared at him With just one glance, I thought to myself that this bad guy would be full of words!

Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "Master's mouth is really sweet, my family is not as good as you said! But since we are from the same town, here in Jinling, we can come to the house to get closer..."

This is a polite remark on the scene, but Zhang Twelve is dreaming after hearing it: Well, I will get close to your daughter...

Zhang Twelve is quite familiar with Mrs. Wang, because Mrs. Wang often called him into the mansion in the last period of Liangzhou. She had a good impression of Mrs. Wang, so her mouth was a little sweeter. .

After Mrs. Wang finished speaking, Wang Chengen answered, "Don't stand still! Mr. Zhang, please sit down quickly, let's chat while eating!"

Everyone in the room felt Wang Chengen's emotions, but Mrs. Wang was the only one who was curious, thinking that the master had been frowning all the time these days, could it be because of such a man that his mood suddenly improved?
And Wang Yunshi and Wang Ba looked at each other, wondering if he had done the job well?
His face also became happy.

…………

The back kitchen is not slow, and Wang Chengen added four more dishes and a jar of wine shortly after he finished his orders. When Wang Chengen was about to pour it for Zhang Twelve, Zhang Twelve refused, and said with a smile: "Wang Chengen Prefect, I have to go out to do errands later, so I don’t want to drink this wine! It’s better to save trouble by drinking too much!”

After Zhang Twelve finished speaking, Wang Chengen removed the wine jar and did not persuade him to let it go.

He knew that Zhang Twelve must go to work, and it was all to help himself. Naturally, he couldn't help him at this time, so he said with a smile: "It's right not to drink! Although Jinling is known as the land of fish and rice, the wine here is not the same as ours in Liangzhou. Compared with spirits, it is still not as good! In the future, Wang and Mr. Zhang have a good drink of our Liangzhou spirits!"

Zhang Twelve nodded with a smile, and said with a smile: "I have heard of the spirits produced in Liangzhou City! The person who makes the spirits is really admirable!"

And Wang Chengen happened to know who made the spirits, so he immediately blew Zhang Twelve to Zhang Twelve. Zhang Twelve also nodded happily, and kept echoing and praising himself, of course he had to be more ruthless!
And Wang Yunshi kept staring at Zhang Twelve, listening to him boasting happily to Wang Chengen there, spit "shameless" in a low voice, and then raised the corners of her mouth, smiling very complacently.

Mrs. Wang next to her accidentally noticed something strange about her daughter, and then kept observing. This observation made her discover her strange appearance. Following her gaze, she found that she was looking at the man named Zhang Sanshu. Ugly man!

So, I was even more confused...

Wang Ba originally wanted to drink, but after seeing that Wang Chengen and Zhang Twelve were not drinking, he had no choice but to hold back. If he was still drinking at this time, he might be beaten to death by his father!

After so many days, this meal was considered the most comfortable and enjoyable meal. He was full of wine and food, and his head was a little groggy. Seeing this, Wang Chengen asked him to take a rest for a while. Zhang Twelve did not refuse, and returned Go to the wing room next to Wang Yunshi, ready for lunch break...

Wang Yunshi originally wanted to follow her back—no, back to her own room, but Madam Wang suddenly stopped her and pulled her back to her own room amidst her doubts!

After entering the room and closing the door, Mrs. Wang said in a deep voice: "Yunshi, mother knows that you were wronged a while ago, but everything is fine now, don't do anything stupid!"

"Ah? Mother, what are you talking about?"

Wang Yunshi was confused by this sentence, what was it talking about?

Seeing Wang Yunshi pretending to be stupid, Mrs. Wang didn't care, and asked directly: "Yunshi, didn't you always like that Zhang Twelve? Why are you doing this now?"

"Ah? What's the matter now?"

Wang Yunshi became even more curious, thinking that I like it now too!

Mrs. Wang sighed and said, "Yunshi, don't lie to mother! Mother has seen it!"

Amid Wang Yunshi's doubts, Mrs. Wang told what kind of expression Wang Yunshi had on Zhang Twelve at the dinner table today, and even Wang Yunshi blushed a little when she heard it...

Am I being that obvious?
I'm so ashamed!I don't know if he saw it!
Wang Yunshi thought a little depressed.

Seeing Wang Yunshi's indirect acknowledgment, Mrs. Wang felt even more uncomfortable, and continued: "Yunshi, mother wants to see you happy, so as long as you are willing, no matter what kind of in-law you are looking for, mother will not object. Yes—but that young master, do you really like it?"

Although Mrs. Wang hadn't seen Zhang Twelve's outfit for a long time, compared with the men she had seen in the first half of her life, Zhang Twelve was definitely as ugly as the sky!

How could my daughter fall in love with such a person?

Mrs. Wang's current appreciation of her daughter's aesthetics was a little unreasonable, and at the same time she thought in horror: Could it be that the fact that she was forced to marry Kang Wang's son had hit Wang Yunshi too hard and made her give up on herself?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang was afraid for a while, and immediately tried to persuade her. After hearing Mrs. Wang's words, Wang Yunshi almost burst out laughing!

She really wanted Zhang Twelve to come and hear how frightening he was dressed up now!
"Mother, it's not what you think!"

Wang Yunshi said.

"It's not what I thought? What is it like, tell your mother about it!"

Mrs. Wang said anxiously.

"Oh, it's just - my daughter doesn't know what to say, anyway, mother doesn't have to worry!"

Wang Yunshi didn't know how to explain it to Mrs. Wang. Since Zhang Twelve didn't want to be exposed, she couldn't reveal his identity. If she didn't reveal his identity—then it seemed that this matter couldn't be explained...

What a complicated problem, Wang Yunshi was overthinking it, so she simply stopped thinking about it and ran away...

Seeing Wang Yunshi's back gradually drifting away, Mrs. Wang felt helpless and murmured: "Hey, this child..."

…………

When Kang Wang came back from Zhao's house, he was finally in a better mood.

What he lost was only face, but what Wang Chengen lost was his official position!

Comparing the two, he still suffered a disadvantage!

Hmph, against me, I want to see how you die!

Kang Wang narrowed his eyes and thought, waiting for the army of refugees to arrive outside Jinling City soon!
Back home, Kang Wang called Tang Qingyan into the study alone. When they heard the news, both Tang Qingyu and Tang Qingyan were a little surprised. Tang Qingyan came to Kang Wang's study alone under Tang Qingyu's envy and bewilderment.

"Father, are you looking for me?"

Tang Qingyan came in and said.

"Qingyan, my father wants to ask you something."

Kang Wang changed his usual bad attitude towards Tang Qingyan, which made Tang Qingyan a little unaccustomed to it, but when he heard him ask himself something, he guessed something, but he didn't take the initiative to say anything, but waited for Kang Wang to ask questions.

"Did you ever ask His Highness about what Father Wang wrote to you last time?"

The crown prince never wrote back to King Kang, and King Kang was so anxious that he could only write to Tang Qingyan to ask him to find out.

A smile flickered on the corner of Tang Qingyan's mouth, just as she had guessed, before he said: "Return to father, I have indeed asked Your Highness!"

"Then what does His Highness say?"

Kang Wang said excitedly.

"What your Highness means is that the matter in the south will end because of whoever started it. This matter has nothing to do with His Highness, so His Highness doesn't want to say anything more about this matter!"

"........."

After Tang Qingyan finished speaking, Kang Wang fell into silence.

It seems that his guess was right, because the crown prince now has no biggest competitor, King Xiang, and the road to the throne is flat, and he no longer needs to deal with refugees to increase his political achievements!
What he needs now is stability, so he hastily disassociated himself from this matter. The meaning of these words couldn't be more obvious. You can do whatever you want, but it has nothing to do with him!
Originally, when he heard the prince's reply, he stood up excitedly, but after hearing the last words, Kang Wang sat down depressed again. After thinking for a long time, a stern look flashed in his eyes: Since I let myself do it, then Just figure it out!
