The old housekeeper weighed the letter that Wang Wu handed over, but did not open it. He didn't even read the words on the envelope. He just kept looking at Wang Wu with his eyes that were incompatible with his age.
Wang Wu felt uncomfortable looking at his eyes and asked angrily: "Hey, what are you looking at?"
The old housekeeper smiled, raised the letter in his hand, and said slowly: "Little baby, you just find someone at random and give the letter to him? Aren't you afraid of giving it to the wrong person? You might miss something."
"Humph, I won't bother you to worry about it!" Wang Wu snorted coldly and said proudly: "Our young master has already said that it doesn't matter how many houses there are here, the real family must be in charge! So after coming here, , just find someone to give him the letter, and he will naturally know who the letter should be for!"
"Oh? Who is your young master?" The old housekeeper seemed a little surprised when he heard what Wang Wu said.
Wang Wu rolled his eyes and just muttered in his heart, "I won't tell you"!
The old man who knew the clinker had already opened the envelope and saw the contents inside the letter.
A moment! Wang Wu watched helplessly as his old face changed color! From ruddy, to pale, then to livid, and finally fixed on the purple color.
"Haha, the Marquis of Sanyuan County?! Are you going to raze my old house in Nancheng? What a big statement!"
Because of his rage, the old housekeeper, who had turned into an eggplant essence, was shaking violently all over, and the letter in his hand was shaking so much that it seemed like it would be shattered in the next second.
When Wang Wu saw that the old man suddenly became like this, he immediately took a careful step back, for fear that the old man would be angered to death on the spot!
Of course, it doesn't matter if he is angry to death. If he blackmails himself again, wouldn't it be a huge loss?
Fortunately, Wang Wu's worries did not come true.
The old man just shivered for a while and slowly regained his composure.
The expression on his face returned, but the anger in the old man's heart still remained.
Little by little, he crumpled the letter in his hand into a ball of paper, and then slowly tore it into pieces. During this process, the old man said nothing, and just looked at Wang Wu coldly, until the letter in his hand was broken into pieces. Powder, then said to Wang Wu word by word:
"Boy! Go back and tell your little prince! Not to mention he is just a county prince, even if he is a prince for many generations, he has to greet the head of my family politely! If you want to touch this place, you can let him try try!"
"Um?"
When Wang Wu heard this, he suddenly looked straight at the old man in front of him. It wasn't until he threw the letter that was broken into snowflakes into the air that he asked with enlightenment: "Hey? Old man! How many years have you been here?" go out?"
The old housekeeper sneered again and again: "Sure enough, there are just as rude slaves as there are rude masters! Is this how your young master teaches you to address others in daily life?"
"I would like to be taught, but they won't teach me!" Wang Wu rolled his eyes and muttered softly.
"Ahem, old gentleman, have you not been out for a long time?"
"I've been living here for thirty years, how do you think?"
"Thirty years?"
Wang Wu grinned, what a guy, he's older than himself!
"Well, old sir! I'm not talking about you! Go out for a walk and ask around when you have time! Don't stay bored at home and don't even know the name of the Marquis of Sanyuan County."
"He's just a small county magistrate. Why do I know about him?" The old housekeeper sneered at Wang Wu's "praising".
Although he has stayed here for many years, his family is still there! With the power of the aristocratic family, why should we be afraid of a small county magistrate? !
"Hey..." Wang Wu folded his hands, looked at the sneering old man and shook his head.
At this time, he was also sure that this old man had really lived here for a long time and was rotten!
However, this is also logical.
If he was really a well-informed person, he would probably not take in those assassins even if they were beaten to death, even if these assassins were originally theirs!
Sighing deeply, Wang Wu looked at the old man with sympathy and said: "Old sir, if you knew that the Marquis of Sanyuan County was the only general in the entire Tang Dynasty who could mobilize troops without the emperor, I probably won’t think so!”
"What? You said he is a general who can mobilize troops at will? How is this possible!" The old man who was still sneering at Wang Wu's words suddenly disappeared from his contemptuous eyes! He stared at Wang Wu closely, as if trying to find the words "I lied to you" on his face!
"Without the Tiger Talisman, without the Holy Mandate, mobilizing the army is tantamount to rebellion. How could he have this privilege?"
From Wang Wu's face, the old housekeeper didn't see any flaws, but he still didn't believe it, not at all!
As a member of the family, he naturally knows that since ancient times, the emperor's control of military power has been abnormal! Except for those puppet emperors, no one will hand over military power to others!
"Don't glare at me. What I said is true."
Wang Wu saw the old man staring straight at him, spreading his hands as if he was aggrieved, and then continued: "Also, the little county magistrate you are talking about just gave birth to a daughter in Yangzhou. This daughter As soon as she was born, she was adopted as an adopted daughter by the current emperor, and she was granted the title of Princess Lantian. She was granted the title of Lantian, Lantian? Does the old gentleman know?"
"Lantian? Lantian who guards the Ziwu Ancient Road?"
There was another gasp! The old housekeeper could no longer hear the next words clearly. He only felt that his old face was in pain as if he was being pressed and slapped by someone!
You still have one hour to deal with it!
With Wang Wu's last words echoing in his mind, the old housekeeper turned back and closed the door of the house with great effort, then took a deep breath and walked quickly through the walled gardens to the secret room in a rockery.
Inside, the men who had escaped by diving were hiding.
These people did not disperse and escape as originally planned.
Because there were too many people mobilized by the Sanshui Alliance, they knew that they could not escape, and if they could not escape, there would be only painful death waiting for them.
People are afraid of death!
Therefore, driven by the desire to survive, these unprofessional dead soldiers made the biggest mistake in their lives, which was to seek refuge in their family's stronghold.
If the person on the boat knew about this, he would probably die of anger on the boat.
I don’t know what the old butler said to those people inside. In short, when he came out again, he only ordered one thing to the servants around him: cook a good meal for these people! There must be wine and meat!
An hour later, Wang Wu came to Nancheng again as promised, and then left here soon.
Only this time he did not return empty-handed like last time, but drove away a large ox cart.
Behind the bullock cart, there were seven or eight gunny bags stacked up. From under the sacks, some scarlet liquid occasionally flowed down and dripped onto the ground along the gaps in the bullock cart.
