Chapter 2676 Is This a Punishment?
The second steward was relieved when he saw that Fatty Wang had stopped crying and proposed to go to Hongyuan Temple, but he felt even worse.
Their son had grown up. If it were before, he would have made a fuss for a while, but now he had accepted the reality.
Fatty Wang did not take a carriage, but went to the stable to get a horse.
Lord Wang had been the prefect of Tongzhou for six years. When Fatty Wang first came, he was still a teenager. He was very familiar with the surroundings of Tongzhou and could go to Hongyuan Temple by himself without anyone leading him.
He galloped on his horse. On the way, he saw many people from the yamen coming and going, but he ignored them.
An hour later, Fatty Wang came to Hongyuan Temple and was stopped by the people from the yamen.
"Hongyuan Temple cannot be entered now. Your Excellency should go back!" Two yamen runners blocked Fatty Wang's way with big knives.
"I am Wang Shoucheng." Fatty Wang said in a deep voice.
The yamen runners looked at each other and didn't react for a while.
"Mr. Wang, the prefect of Tongzhou, is my father. I'm here to find him." Fatty Wang said again.
"Mr. Wang?" The yamen runners were all stunned.
These were the young yamen runners who had just entered the yamen at the end of last year. Fatty Wang went out to play at the beginning of this year, so Fatty Wang didn't know these two people, but these two people had seen Fatty Wang from a distance. They were obviously not the same person!
They didn't know whether they should let him in.
"Mr. Wang?" At this time, the attendant beside Mr. Xu, the co-prefect, came over and looked at Fatty Wang in surprise.
Fatty Wang turned his head and nodded to him, then waved away the yamen runner's knife with both hands and walked straight in.
"This..." The two yamen runners looked at the attendant.
"It should be, you stay here and I'll go in and take a look." The attendant said, and then followed in.
"Where is my father?" Fatty Wang entered the temple and didn't know where to go for a while. He turned around and asked the attendant who followed him.
"Mr. Wang, please follow me here." The attendant took Fatty Wang to one side.
He was secretly shocked. This Prince Wang had changed too much. Not only did he change his appearance, but his temperament had also changed.
He used to be a kind person when he had nothing to do, but he was a rogue when he had something to do. Anyway, he was rarely as serious as he is now.
Not to mention, the serious Prince Wang was still very good at intimidating people.
He felt a little bit like the noble sons in the capital.
Fatty Wang didn't think about what others thought of him. He kept thinking in his heart at this moment that it was a game, a punishment, and a punishment from his father. When he arrived at the place, he would definitely be greeted by his father hitting him with something, his grandmother scolding his father beside him, his mother persuading his father, his wife worrying about him, and his son clapping his hands and cheering.
It must be like this.
This was just a joke his father played on him.
His father had nothing to do, so he joked about the yamen runners in the yamen.
If his father beat him too hard, he would have to use this to threaten his father secretly in the future. This was completely a misuse of public resources for private purposes, which was wrong.
Every step he took was difficult.
In fact, there was a voice in his heart telling him to face the reality, but he just didn't want to accept it. He didn't want to accept this reality. He kept convincing himself that it was a joke his father made.
Although this joke was a bit too big, he would work hard after this time and never let his father make such a joke again.
Soon, they arrived at the small courtyard where the pilgrims of Hongyuan Temple lived. There were more yamen runners guarding this side.
