Chapter 130 The Wang Family’s Secret Activities
In terms of reputation, the reputation of the eldest princess of the current dynasty was much louder than that of the Linzhou Crown Prince!
The eldest princess's name is Li Miaomiao, and she and the current crown prince are both descendants of the empress. They are truly the eldest daughter of the emperor.
In terms of status, the eldest princess has been well-dressed and well-fed since she was born. She is noble and well-loved by the emperor and the royal family.
And the eldest princess also showed extraordinary martial arts talent from an early age. The eldest princess was sent to Kendo when she was six years old. She became a disciple of the master of Kendo and practiced swordsmanship for ten years. Once she was born, she surpassed countless masters of the younger generation in the world and entered the second-level Tianxuan realm at the age of less than eighteen. !
The best in the world!
The eldest princess's swordsmanship is unparalleled in the world and can be said to be the best in the world. She has become the goal that many martial arts practitioners in the world aspire to pursue.
Not to mention, the eldest princess, who is not yet over 18 years old, has an alluring appearance and a peerless temperament. In terms of appearance alone, she has the qualifications to compete for the top spot on the world's most beautiful list.
Over the years, countless people in the world have admired the eldest princess and wanted to have a glimpse of her grace. However, the eldest princess has always maintained a low-key style of acting, living in seclusion and being obsessed with the art of swordsmanship. It is difficult for ordinary people to get a glimpse of her true appearance.
Even so, it is still sought after by people all over the world and coveted by countless people.
Wang Qin is one of them!
A year ago, he had the good fortune to meet the eldest princess in Beijing. Although it was only a brief glance, Wang Qin could not forget it, and he could not think about food or tea.
The startling glance made Wang Qin tempted.
For Wang Qin, as the son of the prefect of Xunyang County, he grew up well-dressed and well-fed, and there was never a shortage of women around him. Ordinarily beautiful women have no attraction for him.
But he was deeply attracted by the eldest princess in the capital, a woman with a cool and unique temperament who was the best in the world.
Over the past year, he has thought of many ways to meet and get to know the eldest princess, but they all ended in failure.
Even when he requested to reveal his identity, the eldest princess didn't even look at him and threw away the letter he sent.
The dignified son of the prefect of Xunyang County was looked down upon by others. This was a huge blow to Wang Qin!
Especially when he learned that the eldest princess he was thinking about was actually engaged to the Prince Lin of Linzhou.
Wang Qin was angry and jealous!
He is not convinced!
Why could the ignorant Prince Lin marry the dynasty? Why can he marry the eldest princess?
Just because his father is Lin Hengzhong?
Is he a king with a different surname from the Daning Dynasty?
...Without his father, who is he? !
Jealousy made Wang Qin lose his mind and made him hate Prince Lin so deeply that he wished he could get rid of him quickly!
Most of the young masters present in the private room are the reputable second-generation ancestors of Xunyang County. They are dandy sons and they are the dog legs attached to Wang Qin.
Wang Qin's father was the prefect of Xunyang County, and most of the young men in Xunyang County followed his lead. Everyone present naturally knew that Wang Qin was disdainful of Prince Lin, and some even knew and guessed that Prince Wang had some interest in the eldest princess.
Now that I heard Wang Qin's words, I naturally went downhill to flatter him.
"Young Master Wang is right. How can Prince Lin be so virtuous and capable as to be worthy of the eldest princess?"
"If you ask me, the only one who can be worthy of the eldest princess today is our prince."
"Let me tell you, Your Majesty shouldn't be so ignorant in granting marriage... Then Lin Hengzhong occupied the south and became king, and his power is growing day by day. Wouldn't it be foolish to marry his daughter to him at this time?"
"That is, if the barbarian king rebels in the future, we will have to rely on Yanzhou to stop it. In my opinion, your majesty should marry the eldest princess to our prince. When the time comes, together, Lin Hengzhong will never be able to make a big move. The storm!”
"..."
In the private room, these dandy boys spoke these dangerous words for fear of causing chaos in the world, and there were many flattering words in their words.
Wang Qin narrowed his eyes, and a cold smile appeared on his face. Clearly, these words seemed to go down well with him.
"Whether this young master is worthy of the eldest princess is not something to say for now, but he is definitely not worthy of being the crown prince." Wang Qin sneered: "If he wants to marry the eldest princess, it depends on whether he has the destiny!"
Everyone knows that the eldest princess is also very resistant to this marriage contract. There are even rumors in the capital that if Prince Na Lin dares to enter the capital, the eldest princess will break his legs.
"It may be his territory in Linzhou, but it's different when it comes to Xunyang County!"
The sneer on Wang Qin's face became even louder: "As long as he dares to come, I will definitely give him a big gift!"
"..."
In the early morning, the sky is bright.
Rapid footsteps went up the stairs and outside the room door.
Knock on the door.
"Master, Master?!"
An anxious voice came from outside the door.
In the room, Wang Qin was woken up in a daze and yelled: "Who is it?"
"Master, something big has happened, something big has happened!"
A servant's voice came from outside the door.
Wang Qin's head was in a state of excitement. His mind seemed to have sobered up a lot after being drunk last night.
Sitting up, he saw that the room was in a mess. On the bed, there was a dazed woman who had just been woken up. Her voice was delicate and charming: "Master, what's wrong?"
"Who knows?!"
Wang Qin spoke angrily, hugged the woman into his arms, kneaded her with his big hands, and looked at the door: "Come in."
The room was pushed open and a servant walked in.
As soon as he entered the room, he smelled a strange smell in the air. When he walked in, he caught a glimpse of Wang Qin sitting on the bed, and then subconsciously glanced at the bed.
Right next to Wang Qin, there was a young woman leaning in his arms, naked, with her snow-white skin exposed to the air, her face as charming as a peach blossom.
The servant's heart was warmed, and he subconsciously lowered his head, took a deep breath, gathered his mind, and whispered: "Young Master, something big has happened..."
He paused, looked up at the woman in the young master's arms, and hesitated to speak.
Wang Qin saw the servant's expression, frowned immediately, and pushed the woman in his arms away: "You go out first."
"Ah?"
The woman in his arms was startled, as if she didn't expect Young Master Wang to drive her out?
But seeing Wang Qin's frown, the woman trembled, thinking of Young Master Wang's temper, and didn't dare to say any more nonsense. He quickly got up from the bed, wrapped in disheveled clothes, lowered his head and walked out of the room quickly.
The servant beside him couldn't help but look up a few more times, his eyes were hot. This woman in Liuxianglou is really stunning!
"Okay, tell me!" Wang Qin said expressionlessly.
The servant collected his mind and brought up the business: "Sir, something happened..."
"The information just came from Chaoyang County, there is a problem with our goods..."
Hearing this news, Wang Qin's eyes suddenly changed: "What did you say?!"
"..."
In the morning.
A carriage stopped outside a house in Xunyang City. Wang Qin jumped off the carriage and entered the house.
Soon, he came to a small courtyard.
The small courtyard was elegant, with a bit of the atmosphere of literati.
In the yard, in front of the stone table, sat a middle-aged man with a refined face and a bit of the atmosphere of a scholar. On the table next to him, there was a book and a pot of tea, and the tea was slightly steaming.
Wang Qin stepped into the yard quickly, and said anxiously: "Uncle, it's bad, something big has happened!"
"How many times have I told you? Don't be so anxious when doing things!"
The middle-aged man retracted his gaze, glanced at him, and shook his head gently: "No matter what happens, don't lose your composure. How can you achieve great things in the future if you are so anxious?"
"Uncle, now is not the time to talk about this. Our "business" outside the city has an accident!"
Wang Qin's face was embarrassed and anxious.
The middle-aged man's expression moved, and he put down the book in his hand: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Wang Qin quickly told what the servant had reported before.
"Our batch of goods was robbed, the smuggling route was discovered, and one of our dens was stabbed. If someone follows the clues and finds out, the consequences will be disastrous..."
The middle-aged man looked calm: "Where is Wang Shi?"
"I don't know. He hasn't replied yet. What should we do now... If he is found out, people will definitely guess that our Wang family is the one."
"Second uncle, you have to think of a solution quickly!"
The middle-aged man glanced at him: "I told you, don't rush. Things haven't reached the worst point yet. What big things can you do with such impatience?"
Wang Qin was silent for a moment: "Then second uncle, what do you think we should do?"
"Sit down and have a cup of tea first."
The middle-aged man looked calm.
Wang Qin: "..."
How could he be in the mood to drink tea.
In the past few years, he has been working with his second uncle and secretly doing some shameful things with the influence of the Wang family.
Trafficking women in Chaoyang County is just a small part of the business. Wang Shi is a distant relative of their Wang family. He secretly does things for them under the shade of the Wang family. If something happens to Wang Shi, once it attracts the attention of others, the consequences will be disastrous.
Over the years, in addition to trafficking women and selling illegal salt, he has even more serious behaviors...
How can Wang Qin not be anxious?
"It's just a little accident, look how anxious you are."
The middle-aged man glanced at him and shook his head gently: "I told you to be more restrained, but you insisted on doing those little things... Once an accident happens, it will be more trouble than it's worth."
Wang Qin frowned and sighed: "Second Uncle, this is not something I can control. Even if I don't do it, those people below have to eat, you know..."
"Forget it!"
The middle-aged man waved his hand and said lightly: "This matter is not a big deal, everything is still under control. Since someone has discovered it, just get rid of it."
"Let Wang Shi find a way to catch the person quickly and cut the grass and root it out!"
"Okay!"
Wang Qin nodded, and quickly thought of something: "But, what if Wang Shi can't catch the person?"
The middle-aged man half-squinted his eyes: "I remember that your distant cousin is very interested in the position of Chaoyang County Magistrate?"
Wang Qin was stunned, and then suddenly realized the meaning of his second uncle's words.
Second Uncle means...
Cut the grass and root it out?
Wang Shi, can also be the root?
Wang Qin immediately showed his joy: "Second uncle, you are really smart!"
"I'll do it now."
"..."
Wang Qin left excitedly and returned to a house in the city. He immediately ordered his men to go out of the city to get information. Then, Wang Qin called the guard expert around him and asked him to take his men out of the city secretly and act according to the situation!
Second uncle was right. The things they did behind the scenes in recent years must not be exposed. But fortunately, everything they did in recent years was done in secret and they did not participate in it personally.
Even Wang Qin's father didn't know.
The only person who knows the secret is Wang Shi.
Wang Shi is also a distant relative of the Wang family, and is considered a dog by the second uncle. The second uncle supported Wang Shi to take office as the magistrate of Chaoyang County and secretly worked for them.
If Wang Shi cannot eradicate the problem this time, they may have to give up Wang Shi just in case.
However, it doesn’t matter. The last thing their Wang family lacks is dogs, and there are many people who want to be the magistrate of Chaoyang County.
After solving all this, Wang Qin felt relieved and relaxed. He remembered the night he spent with the courtesan in Liuxianglou last night, and he couldn’t help but miss it.
It must be said that the women in Liuxianglou are very good at serving people!
Thinking of this, Wang Qin’s heart was hot, and he got up and walked out the door.
"Young Master, where are you going?"
A housekeeper at the door said: "Young Master, the master asked you to go back!"
"No."
Wang Qin waved his hand impatiently: "It must be no good to find me. You must want to talk about me again. I won't go!"
The housekeeper behind him saw this scene and could only sigh. The relationship between the young master and the old master has always been not good. Since the young master moved out a year ago, he has rarely returned to the mansion. Now, he can only go back and report truthfully.
Wang Qin left the mansion and got on a carriage behind the mansion.
"Go to Liuxianglou!"
Thinking of the taste of the courtesan in Liuxianglou, Wang Qin's eyes were hot. At the same time, he also remembered what the young masters in the city said last night, that Prince Lin was coming to Xunyang County?
There was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. He really wanted to see the Prince of Lin, and...
The Prince of Lin was engaged to the princess. Now that he heard that he was going to Beijing to marry the princess, Wang Qin was very upset.
Then, a thought came to his mind!
What if the Prince of Lin died on the road?
The journey from Linzhou to Beijing is long. Who can guarantee that there will be no accidents on the road?
What if the Prince of Lin was assassinated by bandits and died?
Wouldn't the princess be...
Thinking of this, Wang Qin's eyes became more and more fiery, and a crazy idea emerged.
Just then, the carriage suddenly stopped.
Arrived?
So fast?
Wang Qin frowned slightly, but before the servant came to lift the curtain, he immediately said angrily: "Dog slave, what's the matter?"
Still no movement!
"Do you want to die?!"
Wang Qin looked coldly, stood up angrily and lifted the curtain: "Dog..."
The word dog just came out, and the cold light flashed.
A silver sword was pressed against Wang Qin's neck, and Wang Qin's whole body trembled violently.
He raised his eyes and saw a woman.
She looked at him expressionlessly.
