The Prodigal Son of the Empire

"That's natural. How can my vision be compared to yours." Wang Kang also smiled.

"You three have finished seeing each other. I am very satisfied. Old Wu will take them down to rest!" Wang Dingchang ordered.

"I still have some personal matters to discuss with Kang Er."

Hearing this, Wang Kang was also slightly taken aback. It happened that he also had many things to ask Wang Dingchang, such as what happened in Xinfeng County...

[Author's Digression]: Rivers and lakes and temples!

Chapter 1 I want to kill you! Would you like to be a sword?

Under Wang Dingchang's order, the living room was soon emptied, leaving only the father and son.

Wang Dingchang picked up the wine glass and drank it down. Looking at Wang Kang with endless aftertaste, he looked at Wang Kang and said with a smile: "This Dukang wine is really full-bodied, much better than the previous Dukang wine."

He paused and said again: "Actually, I prefer those two introductory words. Du Kang is the only one who can relieve worries!"

"Good! Really good!" Wang Dingchang drank another cup and looked at Wang Kang and said in a deep voice, "I don't care about other things you do. Maybe you have your own ideas and secrets..."

"I just want to ask you one thing." He stared at Wang Kang, "Is it really only Liu Shan who sent someone to assassinate you?"

Finally came, Wang Kang knew that his father should be most concerned about this matter, after all, this is a matter of life and death.

He probably didn't know the truth. The assassination happened in the middle of the night, and he silenced the few people who knew about it, especially Liu Jin, who specifically told him...

Even the corpses of the two assassins were handled by him without leaving any flaws.

Manager Wu didn't mention it afterwards.

It should be like this, Wang Kang understood, and in this case, he decided to continue to hide it, knowing with his father's character, it would definitely make Dong Yiwu desperate.

It's not yet the time to completely break the face with Dong Yiwu, and the time is not yet ripe.

Thoughts flashed away, Wang Kang nodded.

"Is it really?"

Wang Dingchang looked at Wang Kang suspiciously and asked, "Then why did Liu Shan kill himself in the end, and the Liu family was also copied by Li Yu?"

"It's obvious that Li Yu must have been instructed by someone..."

"This is actually very easy to explain," Wang Kang said with a smile: "As the opponents of the Liu family who suppressed our Earl's Mansion, in the end, they failed to achieve anything and left their family in ruins. He has no use value."

"He was regarded as an abandoned child, so it is normal to have such an end."

After listening to Wang Kang's explanation, Wang Dingchang's brows also gradually relaxed. Such logic is feasible.

"This is Dong Yiwu's style,"

Wang Dingchang sighed and said, "It's just that I didn't expect Liushan to end like this."

"I still wanted to wait until I got my hands out to deal with him, but I happened to go to Xinfeng County, and it took so long, but I let you solve it."

"Haha, it's all luck, I didn't expect this result." Wang Kang said with a smile.

He didn't want to be too shrewd in front of Wang Dingchang.

"Liu Shan is not an easy person,"

Wang Dingchang sighed, "He has great ambitions and wants to follow my path. Dong Yiwu supports Liushan, thinking that he is using Liushan."

"Actually, isn't Liu Shan using him? Developing financial resources, strengthening the family...Dong Yiwu can't see clearly when he is awarded the title, but I understand it."

Wang Kang was slightly taken aback, it really wasn't easy for Daddy Cheap to get from a businessman to his current position, and he was also extremely cunning and scheming.

Knowing Liu Shan's ambition, he only deduced it after reading Liu Shan's last letter to him, but his father had already seen it.

"It's just that he thinks the problem is too simple!" Wang Dingchang looked far-sighted, "Of course there is a price to be paid for this honor."

"Kang'er, our Earl's Mansion seems to have a bright future, but it is actually in dire straits."

Wang Dingchang looked at Wang Kang and said, "I haven't mentioned these things to you before, but now that you are sensible, I should let you know."

"At that time, the Yue State raised troops to attack the Zhao State, and the war had already begun. The Yue State's army had already reached Cangzhou, our country, but did you know Kang'er? The Zhao State of Nuo Da, the land of three provinces, did not hesitate to send troops to go out. food and military pay!"

Wang Dingchang had a disgusted expression on his face, "Even if our country's national strength is weak, it will never reach this point! It's because most of the country's financial resources are in the hands of veteran nobles!"

"At this time, they are still holding on to their wealth and ignoring it... I can't stand it anymore. Even though I was just a businessman at that time, I still have a patriotic heart!"

Wang Dingchang said in a deep voice: "Kang'er has a saying, you must always remember that the country and our home are both homes! If everyone is not protected, how can a small family survive!"

"I donated a huge amount of wealth to the war, and a few days later, I received a letter, a letter written by Emperor Zhao from the Jin Yiwei of the Inner Dynasty!"

"What's the content of the letter?" Wang Kang asked subconsciously, he knew that this letter should be the price his father had to pay for being named Earl!

"There are only a few short words in the letter!" Wang Dingchang looked at Wang Kang and said word by word.

"I want to kill nobles, would you be willing to be a sword?"

Wang Kangyilin did so, Zhang Lanfeng was right.

"I knew immediately that Emperor Zhao was going to deal with the veteran nobles, so he chose me to be a sword, a vanguard!"

Wang Dingchang said in a deep voice: "This is a multiple-choice question. Either agree to Emperor Zhao, or we will transfer all the conflicts to our family, and we will become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of those old nobles!"

"Or, I can only live a mediocre life from now on. Even if my family's wealth is comparable to that of Yangzhou, I'm just a businessman!"

Wang Dingchang stood up abruptly, holding the wine glass tightly in his hand, and said loudly, "I'm not willing to do this. Scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce are in the last place. I vaguely remember the way they looked at me when I went to your grandpa's house..."

"Disdain! Contempt! Contempt!"

"I'm not reconciled! I want to turn around with the Wang family, so I became the Earl of Fuyang! This is a gamble! Win Ren Xiaoyao, lose the family!"

Wang Dingchang looked at Wang Kang with burning eyes and said, "I want to compete with those old nobles who have been corrupted!"

"Kang'er, are you willing to walk with the father?"

"Ha ha!"

Wang Kang was also infected by Wang Dingchang's arrogance, and immediately stood up and said, "My child, it should be like this!"

"Okay, okay! This is the son of my Wang Dingchang, even if he is a prodigal, he is also the strongest prodigal!"

Signaling Wang Kang to sit down, Wang Dingchang said again: "Now there is a difficult matter! You should be very curious about what happened in Xinfeng County!"

Hearing this, Wang Kang was slightly taken aback, the main thing was coming, this was indeed what he was most curious about.

What exactly happened that allowed Wang Dingchang, Li Jitong, and Dong Yiwu to stay in a small county for so long.
