Tang Dynasty Bandits

Chapter 99 Wang Jingchong

The servants rushed forward like wolves and tigers, pinned the three Tian brothers to the ground in an instant, picked up white wooden sticks, and beat them like raindrops.

As the hostess, Long Shuang wanted to say something. After all, Sanlang was her biological son. But thinking about how useless this son was and how all the servants in the house were provided by her son-in-law, she could only sigh.

After all, it can be seen at a glance that the servant who beat Sanlang has restrained himself a lot, which is obviously what Zhu Wen had instructed him to do in advance.

The screams of pain like those of slaughtering pigs and cows came one after another. Soon, the leg bones of Dalang and Erlang were broken, and Sanlang's whole leg was swollen.

Zhu Wen clapped his hands and ordered people to carry the three brothers away to be treated by a Hu doctor whose ancestors came from the Alemanni Kingdom.

"Punishing evil and promoting good, without sparing those you love." Master Cui praised, "Master Zhu has done a truly wonderful job."

Before he finished speaking, a loud shout suddenly came from the door: "Master Yan of Bozhou has arrived!"

For a moment, everyone's eyes turned in that direction.

A deep, hoarse voice came from around the screen wall: "I've heard someone boasting about his wealth and fame in Weizhou these days. I thought he was some wealthy and powerful young man, but it turns out he's just a poor swindler."

The atmosphere in the field suddenly became cold, as if shrouded in an invisible chill.

Surrounded by several pretty maids whose attire was as luxurious as that of fairies from the Jade Palace, the two young masters came side by side. However, their clothes were very plain, forming a sharp contrast with the pretty maids behind them.

The young man who was speaking looked to be about 31 or 32 years old. He was quite tall, wearing a light fur coat and a loose belt. His eyebrows were slanted and he looked very heroic. However, his cheekbones were a little high, which ruined the overall harmony of his face. Therefore, he was not considered a very handsome man.

The person next to him is of medium height, with delicate features and sparse eyebrows.

The housekeeper immediately said, "Even though Master Yan is of noble status, he shouldn't insult my son-in-law like this..."

"What good son-in-law?" The tall young man sneered and turned to Long Shuang: "Madam, you thought you had found a good son-in-law, but he is just a low-class bastard."

Long Shuang was also stunned, and then turned to the short young man: "Master Yan, you and my Jun'er are old acquaintances. Even if you have any dissatisfaction, why bring such a rude man here?"

It turned out that Master Yan from the Bozhou governor's family was actually the short young man, not the one who spoke.

The servants present were all surprised. This Mr. Yan had a handsome appearance and seemed a bit shy. He didn't look like a wicked young man who wanted to force a woman to be his concubine. Don't judge a person by his appearance. The ancients were not deceiving us.

The people brought by Master Yan actually came up and accused Master Zhu of being a "downtrodden man" and a "low-class person". Could it be that he meant that Master Zhu, the son of the Zhu family in Youzhou, was an imposter?
The visitor continued, "Burning the contract to seek fame, do you really think you are Mengchangjun? Mengchangjun's demeanor is not something that any poor man can imitate. Don't try to imitate a tiger but end up with a dog."

Zhu Wen's act of burning the slaves' indentures was criticized by the visitors as a way of gaining fame, as if the true sons of the rich and powerful would never do such a thing.

When the maids and servants heard this, they were all indignant, but seeing that the newcomer was arrogant and was brought by Master Yan of Bozhou, they could not help but be angry but dared not say anything and could only wait and see how Master Zhu would respond.

Zhu Wen, however, looked quite calm. He hung his folding fan on the belt around his waist and asked, "May I ask your name, sir?"

"Your surname is Wang, not the Wang family of Taiyuan."

The domineering young master said lightly.

After the decline of the Wang family of Langya, the only noble family with the surname Wang left was the Wang family of Taiyuan. However, this person emphasized that he was not from the Wang family of Taiyuan.

So where does his confidence come from?

"As for my name, it is Jingchong. My old surname is Abusi." Wang Jingchong!
If there is anyone else in the world named Wang Jingchong, whose formerly surname is Abusi, then there will be no other person.

The Wang family of Chengde originated from the Abusi tribe of the Uighurs, and Wang Jingchong is the current governor of Chengde.

Why did Master Yan bring such a giant here this time?
Even the current Weizhou Jiedushi Han Jian can only be regarded as a brother of Wang Jingchong.

It was then that everyone realized that Wang Jingchong had never directly said the word "fake" from beginning to end.

In front of the current governor, what does the real son of the Zhu family in Youzhou mean?
Wang Jingchong turned his gaze to Tian Jun and said to Master Yan, "Brother Yan, is this the woman you've been thinking about for so many years?"

"She is indeed a rare beauty, both strong and graceful, incomparable to any of my concubines. This kind of beauty from the north is far more admired by me than an ordinary, weak woman."

"Although the Tian family of Wei Bo has fallen on hard times, this Jiedushi is not marrying for the first time, so it doesn't matter. Rong'er will eventually need a mother to take care of her."

Wang Jingchong turned his gaze towards Long Shuang and said, "I am very fond of your daughter. Madam, please cancel the engagement between the Tian family and that impoverished man. How about marrying your daughter to me as my second wife?"

He then addressed Zhu Wen, "I am the grandson of Princess Shou'an. Nine years ago, under the orders of Emperor Yizong, I led elite cavalry to defeat the traitor Pang Xun and was granted the title of Duke of Zhao. Now, I have also been granted the title of Prince of Changshan. What is your Zhu family of Youzhou? They are just a bunch of stray dogs. How dare you be compared with my Chengde Wang family?"

Their eyes met, and their gazes met in the air, as if about to create sparks.

If the atmosphere in the field was just cold before, now it seemed as if it was completely frozen, and no one dared to speak.

Wang Jingchong indeed has the blood of the Li Tang royal family flowing in his veins.

He was indeed the Jiedushi of Chengde, Duke of Zhao, and Prince of Changshan.

In comparison, it really doesn’t matter whether Master Zhu Huang is truly a descendant of the Zhu family of Youzhou.

With Wang Jingchong's status, if he fell in love with Zhu Gongzi's fiancée, then Zhu Gongzi had no choice but to give in and let Tian Si Niang go.

The four distinguished guests, An, Gao, Cui and Yin, were very happy at the same time. They had no good feelings towards Master Zhu who had brought Tian Jun, but they accepted the invitation with gifts because they did not want to offend the Zhu family of Youzhou.

Unexpectedly, the current Chengde Jiedushi suddenly appeared out of nowhere. This was simply a slap in the face of Master Zhu!

If they hadn't dared to act recklessly in front of Jiedushi Wang Jingchong, the four of them would have probably slapped their thighs and burst into laughter.

The maids and servants in the field all thought it was over.

In their eyes, Master Zhu was a great man because he burned their indentures, and good people should be rewarded.

But they really couldn't think of a way for Master Zhu to defeat Jiedushi Wang Jingchong.

Unless Zhu Gongzi's ancestor, Prince Tongyi Zhu Tao, is resurrected and reinstated as the Jiedushi of Lulong, who can compete with Wang Jingchong's status and identity?
Captain Lian Tian also showed a look of joy, his eyes moving like a thief.

This Master Zhu had severely injured his three beloved sons, so it was perfectly fitting that he was punished by Governor Wang. Furthermore, once the marriage was finalized, he would become the father-in-law of the dignified Governor of Chengde!

Fortunately, I did not accept the proposal of the son of the governor of the Yan family. It turns out that there is someone better yet.
