The team arrived at Datong Town smoothly.
Sun Chuanting followed the team and watched every step of the way. He never showed a smile on his face since he left Shanyin County.
"Captain Yan, just like last time, go to see General Liu after dinner."
The carriage entered Datong Town, and Liao Wenguang, who was in the carriage, proposed to take the people to dinner first.
Captain Yan nodded.
Leaving two subordinates to accompany him, he took the others back to the main town office.
"Where are we going to eat?" Sun Chuanting, who was sitting in the same car, asked.
Liao Wenguang told the driver through the curtain: "Go to Prince Dai's Mansion."
"Consultant Liao wants to see Dai Wang? Didn't it mean that after the fall of Datong Town, Dai Wang's family lost track of them." Sun Chuanting frowned.
The body of King Dai was not found, so he was said to be missing. However, many people believed that King Dai died at the hands of the rebels.
Liao Wenguang leaned back on the carriage and said: "Dai Wang's family is not missing. Except for a few unlucky clan children, most of the other clan children in Datong Town are alive."
"Tie Liu didn't kill these people?" Sun Chuanting asked doubtfully.
The people in places where a vassal fiefdom exists hate the vassal more than the local government. People often rebel in a place, and the vassal becomes the target of public criticism.
It's okay if the city where Zongfan is located is not destroyed, but once the city is broken, Zongfan and his family will have no way to escape.
Liao Wenguang said: "Not dead, the county office in Datong Town, not only Dai Wang's family, but also other clans, as long as they have titles, are all locked up."
The last time he came to Datong Town, he inquired about the whereabouts of King Dai's lineage. Otherwise, even if they wanted to recruit Liu Thief from Datong, the court would have to worry about their face.
Even if few people in the court liked Zong Fan, and they all wished that Zong Fan would commit suicide and cause trouble, they would never allow Zong Fan to be killed by others. For the sake of the royal family's face, the court could not easily spare Zong Fan's murderer.
"It's really surprising that Thief Liu didn't kill them." Sun Chuanting rubbed his chin with his hand and said thoughtfully.
Liao Wenguang said: "When I first learned that King Dai was still alive, I was more surprised than you. However, even though he is alive, all the foundations left by the kings of the past generations have been reduced to Liu Heng."
"Since Dai Wang is not in Dai Wang's Mansion, why should we go to Dai Wang's Mansion?" Sun Chuanting thought of the county office where Dai Wang was imprisoned in Datong Town. They could not see anyone when they went to Dai Wang's Mansion.
"You'll know when you get to Prince Dai's Mansion." Liao Wenguang gave him a mysterious look without explaining much.
Sun Chuanting was puzzled and followed the carriage all the way to the foot of the Nine Dragon Wall opposite Prince Dai's Mansion.
"Master, we are here."
Liao Wenguang's long entourage came to the side of the carriage.
"Get out of the carriage!" Liao Wenguang said to Sun Chuanting, and he took the lead to get out of the carriage. With the help of Chang Sui, he got off the carriage and stood next to the carriage.
Sun Chuanting, who was following behind, also got off the carriage.
"Let's go and show you something." Liao Wenguang greeted Sun Chuanting with a smile.
The two people walked across the street and arrived at the gate tower of Prince Dai's Mansion.
"Why are there so many carriages outside the gate of Prince Dai's Mansion? Could it be that Prince Dai has returned to Prince Dai's Mansion." Sun Chuanting noticed that many carriages were parked not far from him.
The drivers and servants were standing guard beside the carriages. It was not difficult to see that the owners of these carriages were either rich or noble.
"If you don't say this, go in first." Liao Wenguang made an invitation gesture.
The two of them walked towards Prince Dai's Mansion together.
When passing the city gate tower, Liao Wenguang waved to Chang Sui who was following him, "Go to the side and pay the fee."
Entering the gate of Prince Dai's Mansion, a wooden table was placed.
Everyone who enters the Prince's Palace through this door needs to pay a fee in front of the wooden table.
Although Chang Sui came here for the first time, he only took a few glances to understand what was going on. He took out a large amount of money and handed it to the person behind the wooden table in exchange for the qualification to act as the prince's palace.
"Let's go in." Liao Wenguang paid the fee and walked into the city gate.
Sun Chuanting, who was following him, asked curiously: "What's going on? I saw that you have to pay money to enter Prince Dai's Mansion, and the people guarding the gate are soldiers and horses under Liu Thief. Could it be that Liu Thief lives here?" ?”
"Keep your voice down. Don't talk about Liu Thief anymore. Be careful that walls have ears." Liao Wenguang looked around cautiously and immediately said, "Liu Heng doesn't live here. Now you can enter Prince Dai's Mansion with money. I'll bring you here." I want you to try the skills of the imperial chef."
"Nonsense, this is the Prince's Palace, which represents the face of the royal family. How could it become such a philistine place?" Sun Chuanting flicked his sleeves angrily.
Even if Prince Dai's Mansion was occupied by Liu Thief, he would feel better. However, Prince Dai's Mansion became a place where anyone could spend money to get in and out, and became no different from a roadside restaurant. This made it difficult for him to be loyal to the emperor no matter what. accept.
"Brother Boya, please be safe." Liao Wenguang noticed that someone passing by looked directly at them, and hurriedly pulled Sun Chuanting's sleeve with his hand.
Sun Chuanting asked with an ugly face: "You and I are both ministers of the Ming Dynasty. Seeing the royal family's face being trampled under their feet, don't you feel ashamed of the Holy Emperor and the imperial court?"
"Don't be impatient with me. It's not me who caused Prince Dai's palace to become what it is now. You can go to whoever caused it." Liao Wenguang was also a little unhappy now.
He kindly brought Sun Chuanting to Prince Dai's Mansion to taste the skills of the imperial chef, but he was criticized and his good intentions were treated like a donkey's liver and lungs.
Sun Chuanting took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and explained: "I don't really blame anyone. If I do, I just blame us ministers for being useless, allowing Datong to fall into the hands of thieves, and causing the king to be humiliated."
"Okay, Brother Boya, I can understand. When I know everything here, I'm not much better than you." Liao Wenguang's face turned pale.
Sun Chuanting said: "Then let's go and try the skills of the royal chef of the Prince's Palace."
The two of them came to a dining room in Dai Wang's Mansion, one behind the other.
The prices for dining in the dining halls of different temples are also different.
Although Liao Wenguang brought some money with him before coming back, it was far inferior to those wealthy squires who came specifically to eat at the Prince's Mansion.
Therefore, the two of them did not enter any private room, but found an empty seat in the lobby.
"Masters, what can I use?"
Not long after the two sat down, a man with a white face and no beard came over and spoke with a raised voice.
Sun Chuanting looked at it carefully and asked, "Are you an eunuch?"
"This slave is indeed a eunuch." The man admitted frankly.
Sun Chuanting frowned and said: "Since you are an eunuch, why do you work here? You should stay with the king to serve you."
"Look at what you said. If the prince needs someone to serve you, the slaves will not serve you here. You can see what you want to eat. You can order the slaves so that the food can be passed around in the kitchen." The man urged the other party to order.
