The Prodigal Son of the Empire

Wang Kang can also be considered a covert trip, and he didn't make much fanfare, otherwise it would definitely attract local attention...

Hurry all the way.

Wang Kang also probably learned that, as Qing Erniang said, there are armed riots happening everywhere.

According to his estimate.

It should be that the Jianghu sect was purged and wiped out by the Supreme Supreme Sect, and the whole Jianghu started a massacre. Many people in the Jianghu either fled for their lives, or messed up, and ran into the secular world to create chaos...

Currently, Wang Kang has no channels for information in this regard, so little is known about it.

It seems that it should also be prepared.

After rushing like this, after seven or eight days, Wang Kang finally arrived at the county town of Jiangxia County. As a county town, it is also quite prosperous.

And under his father's rule, the entire Jiangxia County has also developed very well, gradually getting out of the previous war.

Wang Kang didn't do much shopping, and went directly to the Sheriff's Mansion, where he met his father Wang Dingchang in an office.

Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I saw my father. Although my status has been improved and the family's power is growing, but I'm busy with too many things!

A rare reunion of father and son!

"You came."

Wang Dingchang smiled and said that he was not surprised to see Wang Kang.

"It's all like this, and I'm still busy with business."

Wang Kang frowned slightly, Wang Dingchang's complexion was a little pale, he was indeed injured, and there was still gauze wrapped around his left arm...

"The previous war had a great impact on the lives of the people in the city. Now that it is stable, we should try our best to restore it..."

"Moreover, there have been many cases of armed violence recently, which also need to be dealt with..."

Wang Dingchang smiled and said: "One term as an official will benefit one party, isn't it?"

"But you were all assassinated!"

Wang Kang frowned and said: "I think you should be more careful, the world is not peaceful now."

He paused and asked, "Can you tell me about the circumstances of your assassination that day?"

"Oh."

Wang Dingchang said: "I finished my business that day and was about to go back to rest from the class, but I met an assassin!"

"This assassin should be a very powerful master. The people you sent to perform the duty of guards and fight with him, but they are all invincible..."

Wang Kang also heard from Qing Erniang about this matter, and it was for this reason that he was extremely vigilant!

The five guards he arranged beside his father were all top-notch experts, but in the end they couldn't beat the assassin.

One can imagine the strength of this assassin.

Is it a martial arts master?

But how could a martial arts master come to assassinate his father? There was no motive at all, no reason...

"However, it was precisely because of the commotion from the battle that a lot of government soldiers came. Perhaps because of exposure, the assassin left."

Wang Dingchang explained: "I was injured when I was running away. It was very slight and didn't hinder me..."

"Are the bodies of those hidden guards still there?"

"How can the corpse be preserved in such hot weather?"

If there is a corpse, the weapon used by the assassin can be judged from the wound, and the identity of the assassin may be determined!

Wang Dingchang smiled and said: "You don't have to worry too much, it's fine, but don't tell your mother, or you should be worried."

"Is this all right?"

Wang Kang frowned and said, "This time it was a fluke, what if the assassin comes again?"

"No, you must check it out!"

"Kang'er!"

Wang Dingchang said in a low voice: "You don't need to worry about this matter. Now that the construction of Nansha Bay is in full swing, you should focus on that, and father will be fine."

"But?"

"Okay, it's rare for you to come here. I'll take you to the county town for a stroll. You've been on your way, and the journey is tiring. Wait for father to finish handling these official duties..."

"Old Wu, take Kang'er to rest."

Wang Dingchang yelled, butler Wu came in from the outside, and said with a smile, "Master, I will take you to rest."

"OK then."

Wang Kang glanced at his father, and then went out with Butler Wu, but his eyes were full of doubts, because his father's behavior was really strange...

[Author's digression]: The third update!

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Uncle Wu, is father always this busy?"

After leaving the house, Wang Kang asked.

"Yes!"

Butler Wu said: "The earl has always been like this since he came here. He is busy all day long and dedicated to serving the people. Under his administration, Jiangxia County is much better than the previous Luochuannan period."

Wang Kang nodded, he knew all of this and could clearly feel it.

His father's identity is a bit special, he is Uncle Fuyang, of course there are many nobles who are officials, but Wang Dingchang was originally a businessman, and later he was favored by Emperor Zhao and made him an earl.

Ever since he served as the governor of Jiangxia County, in order to avoid suspicion, his father seldom managed the family business, and basically handed it over to Wang Kang...

Under his rule, Jiangxia County also had a great improvement, and his father also had a high reputation among the city residents.

This is not a lie, but actually done...

"By the way, were you by my side when my father was assassinated?"

"No."
