The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1884 Ginger is still old and spicy

"The old man is in the backyard." The old housekeeper said.

"I'm going to see my grandpa. The whole day today, the Wang family will thank you. Also, I can't tell anyone about my return except the people in our house. Do you understand?" Wang Gui said.

Although the old butler didn't know why the third son of their family was so nervous and why he gave such an order, he still complied. He ordered his servants to close the door, refused to see guests, and arranged for his servants to clean up Wang Gui's room and seal it up. man's mouth.

Looking at the appearance of his third son, he also wondered in his heart, could it be that there is something wrong with the master in Chang'an?Otherwise, why hurried the third son back to Langya from Chang'an City?

When I arrived at the backyard, I saw the old man of the Wang family sitting in the gazebo in the backyard, wearing a bearskin cloak, followed by two servant girls, and the two servants waited on him, with hot tea on the table and a bag in his arms. Heating the stove, drawing pictures in the yard.

The old man was the previous head of the Wang family. When he was old, he left Chang'an and returned to Langya's hometown to serve as an official. Although he was old, he had such a leisurely life. He brought his servants to paint in the backyard in the cold weather. , what is it not to be leisurely?
Wang Gui had to come to the old man of the Wang family to discuss the news he got in Chang'an City and Luoyang. Langya's affairs could not be done by him alone, and he definitely needed the help of the old man of the Wang family.

Although the old man has retired, the energy is still frightening.

Whether the Wang family can survive this catastrophe or not depends more on the methods of Mrs. Wang.

The old man would never see the Wang family end up like the Zheng family.

The descendants of the Zheng family basically have no important seats in the court. Once they lose the right to speak in the court, the decline of the Zheng family will only be a matter of time.

"Grandpa." Wang Gui came to the old man's side.

"It's Gui'er, why did you come back here? Is Chang'an not good?" The old man raised his head, saw his grandson, and said with a smile.

"You all go down first." Wang Gui said to the servant behind the old man.

"You go down first." The old man repeated again.

After hearing the old man's words, the people behind him left the pavilion and waited outside the yard.

"What's the matter? It's so mysterious that even my own family can't believe it." The old man said.

Those who can stay by his side are all people cultivated by the Wang family. There is nothing to say about loyalty. If they can't believe it and can't be regarded as their own family, then the people of the Wang family will really become lonely.

"Grandpa, something went wrong." Wang Gui said, "The Zheng family was investigated by the court in Luoyang for the matter of the bank."

"Oh? What's going on?" The old man put down the brush in his hand. The picture on the table was only half painted.

Wang Gui told his grandfather about the Zheng family's affairs one by one.

"Corruption of words is harmful. According to this, the Zheng family has obtained so many benefits from the bank, made false accounts, and caused the national treasury to lose money. They have no one to blame for this end." The old man said, talking, thinking of Knowing the meaning of his grandson's return, he frowned: "Why, this kind of thing happens in our family too?"

"If not, my grandson wouldn't be in such a hurry to return home from Chang'an City." Wang Gui sighed and said, "After my grandson left Chang'an, I made a special trip to Luoyang to meet Xu Jingzong. Jingzong also inquired about a lot of things, and now His Majesty handles the matter of the bank with no tolerance. Once the court finds that our Wang family is involved in the bank and makes profits from the bank, our Wang family I'm afraid I have to follow the old path of the Zheng family."

"Who did the imperial court send out?" asked the old man of the Wang family.

"Duke Qi, Xuan Shijing." Wang Gui said.

"Qi Guogong, Xuan Shijing, it's hard to deal with." The old man Wang said: "When I was in Chang'an before I became an official, I heard a lot about him. Back then, the two children of the Wang family in Taiyuan had a split. , Originally, the boss had no hope, but ended up picking up this Duke of Qi, and abruptly squeezed the second child away, and the second child at that time was still a son-in-law."

"It is precisely because he knows how good he is that grandson rushed back." Wang Gui said, "Grandpa, the Dengzhou bank can't have any accidents. If any accidents happen, our Wang family will be in trouble."

"Who allowed you to reach out to the bank? Is our Wang family still short of this money?" The old man looked a little angry.

"Grandpa, the Qianzhuang is a big piece of fat. How many people are staring at it. Even if we don't do it, someone else will do it. How big is the interest in the Qianzhuang? If it is not big, will the Zheng family fall into Luoyang? ?” Wang Gui said: “At first, I thought that the affairs of the bank had been done perfectly. Who would have thought that from the very beginning, when the Supreme Emperor was in power, he had already dispatched Baiqisi to keep an eye on the place. The people in the company don't know what they have in their hands, and now they let Qi Guogong Xuan Shijing leave Chang'an to investigate around. The Zheng family has learned from the past. The most important thing for us now is to find a way to get out, otherwise Xuan Shijing will really get it. No matter what the evidence is, the Wang family will not escape."

"If I had known this before, why bother." Old Master Wang said, "What are you going to do now? Anything I can do here, I can do for you."

In the end, the Wang family is facing a big problem now. The old man knew that the matter was serious, but he himself had no way to deal with it, so he could only ask Wang Gui to come forward to do something. He supported him behind the scenes, and with his connections, he wanted to do something. , is still very simple.

"At the moment, Grandpa, please write a letter to the people in Dengzhou, and your grandson will take the letter to deal with it in person. We must quickly withdraw from the bank. The money we got from the bank before is not counted for now. , As for now, the account books of the bank must be cleaned up, and the holes in the bank must be blocked for the time being, so that Qi Guogong cannot find anything. As for the account books, if there are really serious problems, they must be redone quickly." Wang Gui said.

"Fake account books?" Old Mr. Wang said, "Confused."

"Grandpa?" Wang Gui was taken aback.

"Ledgers are the most unreliable thing. If you can do it, so can he. Anyone can play with the ledger. At that time, it will be self-defeating. Your son, Duke Qi, is not so easy to fool. .”

"What does grandpa mean"

"Fill the hole in the bank as soon as possible. If it can't be repaired, the property of the Wang family in Dengzhou will be mortgaged in the bank. Don't we still have some things in Dengzhou? All of them will be in the name of the bank."
