Chapter 15 World affairs are like chess(1/2)

The Wang family in Taiyuan was born from the Qin general Wang Jian during the Warring States Period.

He has been famous for his generation and has become a top family in the world.

It did not decline until the end of the Tang Dynasty.

The middle Tang poet Liu Yuxi once wrote a poem: In the old days, the swallows flew into the homes of ordinary people in front of Wang and Xie's hall.

This was the early Tang Dynasty and the heyday of the national strength of the Tang Dynasty.

Although Li Zhi's balanced approach in court suppressed various families, the Wang family's profound background should not be underestimated.

There are currently two main branches of the Wang family in Taiyuan, one is the King of Qi County and the other is the King of Jinyang.

The branch of the counselor Wang Maoshu belongs to the King of Qi County.

He is in the same branch as the deposed Queen Wang who was previously deposed.

Therefore, it is also inevitable to be implicated.

After hearing that Su Dawei came to visit, the Wang family was obviously caught off guard.

The servants at home asked Su Dawei and Wang Jingzhi to wait in the hall. After a while, several people heard footsteps coming.

Su Dawei and Wang Jingzhi are both very human.

After hearing the footsteps, both of them stood up from the seats and headed towards the gate.

At first glance, an old man, following the servant just now, walking towards him with a cane in his hand.

Behind the old man, a middle-aged man was Uncle Wang Mao.

Wang Jingzhi took two steps forward, crossed his hands and said, "Jingzhi greets Mr. Shao."

The first old man was Wang Maoshu's father, Wang Shao.

Wang Shao was appointed as prime minister before, but because of the "destroying Wang and establishing Wu", he had retired and stayed at home for several years.

"Jingzhi, is this Su Langjun? Why don't you introduce it to me quickly?"

Wang Shao's white eyebrows were slightly frowning, and his eyes were slightly turbid, as if two deep pools were slightly turbid.

This is an old minister who has experienced the Martial De, Zhenguan and Yonghui periods, and has been used to countless official turmoils.

The Su Dawei in front of him is naturally a party of the Wuhou.

There is no doubt about this.

What is the relationship between the Wang family and Empress Wu?

Now that Su Dawei has come to the Wang family, what is he doing?

This made Wang Shao suspicious.

But he was very good at cultivating Qi, and even if he had thousands of questions and vigilance in his heart, he would never show any trace of it on his face.

Wang Jingzhi said to him: "Wen Shao, Su Dawei has an old age with me. He came to me today and asked me to introduce him on his behalf, so I brought him here."

"oh."

Wang Shao nodded slightly, thinking that he should be fine, he is his own person.

His eyes fell on Su Dawei again, and he couldn't help but look at him secretly.

This young man is too young.

I heard that on the battlefield in Liaodong, this person assisted Li Ji to destroy the Tang Dynasty's old enemy Goguryeo.

Su Dawei should be the new general in the army in this generation.

I heard that Su Dingfang is very valued.

Moreover, this person has a close relationship with Empress Wu. It is said that when Empress Wu became a monk and became a nun, he made good relationships and has been one of the most trustworthy people of Empress Wu since then.

But his face was upright and determined, like an ambitious general, not as cunning as Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong.

"I don't know what happened to Mr. Su Langjun, who came to my Wang family's mansion today?"

"I have met Mr. Shao, and I have heard that Wang's family has been passed down from the pre-Qin period. It has always been prominent in my heart. I have admired him for a long time."

Su Dawei saluted with his hands crossed and politely.

Of course, Wang Shao would not take his polite words seriously.

He picked up his beard slightly and said with a smile: "Su Langjun is so polite. Please sit down and talk."

The servants of the Wang family came up and presented incense tea and various fruit dots.

Wang Shao glanced around Wang Jingzhi and Su Dawei's faces, and coughed lightly and said, "Su Langjun is here, I must have something important. I haven't been in the court for a long time, so I don't know..."

Su Dawei laughed in his heart, knowing that Wang Shao was nervous, that this was from "pandao".

"That's right. The day before yesterday, I just came back from Baekje. Outside Chang'an City, I happened to meet the counselor and talked to him for a few words. I remembered what he said that day in the past few days and felt that I benefited a lot, so I came to my door to thank him."

Su Dawei said seriously, and his eyes looked at Uncle Wang Mao, who was smiling and froze on his face.

At this time, Uncle Wang Mao was already in a state of mind and looked confused.

I was so sad that I had said something to Su Dawei before entering the city that day?

By the way, I just remembered that there was such a person. When I saw his flag seemed to be Governor Xiongjin, I couldn't help but ask. It was originally just out of admiration for the heroic Tang army in the Baekje battlefield, and there was no other meaning.

What I said will benefit him a lot?

Why don't I remember?

Uncle Wang Mao noticed that Wang Shao's gaze looked at him, and his eyes were majestic and scrutiny, as if asking: Why are you getting along with the people of Empress Wu?

Uncle Wang Mao was sweating on his forehead.

If someone is a scheming person, there are a hundred ways to shirk the blame.

But Uncle Wang Mao was still in a straight mind and didn't know how to answer for a while.

This is what is called a gentleman who can deceive him.

Wang Jing frowned slightly from the side, glanced at Uncle Wang Mao, and then looked at Su Dawei beside him.

I always feel that Su Dawei's smile is a bit strange.

Out of understanding of Su Dawei, Wang Jingzhi snorted softly: "Ami, don't joke. Since you asked me to introduce me, I have done it. If there is nothing else, I will say goodbye first."

"Don't."

Su Dawei held Wang Jingzhi and turned to Wang Shao and Wang Maoshu and said, "By the way, I have another thing to do this time. I want to ask the Wang family."

"What's the matter?"

Wang Shao's heart was slightly shocked, knowing that the show was coming.

Su Dawei said in a stern manner: "Today, a shop in the west market caught fire, which caused several nearby shops to burn white land. It was around Chen Shi. I happened to pass by there. I heard from my colleagues of the old bad guys that there was a Wang family's share."

After a pause, Wang Shao and Wang Maoshu, who had slightly changed color, digested the news slightly, Su Dawei continued: "I also heard that this time the fire was probably someone who did it on purpose.

Since I have met the counselor, I will ask if there are any clues in this matter that can help determine the case?

If so, it is a great thing for both public and private affairs. I wonder if the counselors think it is?"

The one who was talking about Wang Mao was mentioned, but Su Dawei's eyes were staring at Wang Shao for a moment.

Obviously, although he was no longer in the court at this time, the Wang family still had the final say.

The hall was silent for a moment.

The incense burner in the corner of the room slowly rose.

Fragrant and fragrant.

Wang Shao gently held his beard.

Uncle Wang Mao looked at his father and his Adam's apple squirmed slightly.

No matter how dull I was, I could smell the tension in the air.

Wang Jingzhi moved his eyebrows slightly and pressed down the urge to leave just now.

"Su Langjun came for this."

Wang Shao's voice was slightly low, as if he was still pondering.

But this sentence is actually a test, judging whether Su Dawei threw out a "bait" or was it really for the sake of a fire.

Su Dawei smiled at the corner of his mouth.

This expression, through the fragrance fog, seemed a little cloudy and fog, and was unfathomable.

With Wang Shao's mature vision, he could not judge the authenticity for a while.

After thinking about it, I said implicitly: "I just learned about the fire from Su Langjun that I am really confused now and cannot provide useful clues."

"Have the Wang family got into any enemies recently?"

Su Dawei asked a little almost rudely.

Wang Shao frowned slightly and said slowly: "The Wang family has always been kind to others and has never had any enemies."
