When Fatty Wang arrived in Tongzhou, it was not yet noon.

Because the East-West Escort Bureau went directly to the pier and had a hard time with the Yamen, Fatty Wang got off the bus at the fork in the road. After saying goodbye to the people from the East-West Escort Bureau, he called a carriage and hurried home.

Originally, they were going to send him off, but he thought there was still a long way to go. Tongzhoufu Street was still very lively during the day, and the escort agency's fleet was quite long, which was quite troublesome, so he refused to let them send him off.

When he walked to the door of the Yamen, many Yamen servants came and went in a hurry, and the bad feeling in his heart became stronger. He quickly grabbed a Yamen servant and asked: "Tan Laoqi, what happened in the Yamen?"

He is the son of the prefect, and he can still call many of the officials in the government office by their names.

It's just that he has completely changed now, and people can't recognize him anymore.

Tan Laoqi glanced at Fatty Wang, frowned and wanted to shake it off, but felt that the person in front of him looked familiar, so he said impatiently: "Something happened. Did you come to the Yamen for something? The Yamen is a little busy today. If something happens, There’s no rush, please come back later.”

Fatty Wang became even more panicked and held on to Tan Laoqi: "What happened? Where is my father?"

Tan Laoqi: "...I'm not your father, how do I know your father?"

Fatty Wang was so angry that he wanted to hit someone. He suddenly thought that the other party might not recognize him, so he explained: "It's me, Wang Shoucheng, your Lord Wang's son."

Tan Laoqi: "!"

He opened his eyes wide and looked at Fatty Wang in disbelief.

Fatty Wang said: "Come on! Haven't I just not been back for more than half a year? Why, you don't recognize me anymore? Where has my father gone? Why is there no order in the Yamen?"

After saying that, he took out the jade pendant he often wore and shook it: "You should recognize this, right?"

Tan Laoqi took a look and saw that it was indeed something that the gangster from their family often wore. Then his expression changed: "Master, why did you come back alone? Didn't you meet Jin Captou and the others? Jin Captou brought him with him this morning. I went to the capital with someone to pick you up."

Fatty Wang said: "I set out the afternoon before yesterday, but there was a problem with the carriage on the way. I stayed in a small village for one night. It rained heavily yesterday and I couldn't leave. I just rushed back today. What happened? ? You want Uncle Jin to go to the capital in person?"

Tan Laoqi looked around, then pulled Fatty Wang behind the stone lion next to the yamen gate, and said: "Sir, I heard from Jin Captou that you followed General Lu and Princess Xinxin and received military training. I want to come here." You should be in good physical and mental health, right?"

Fatty Wang's uneasy feeling became stronger, and he looked at Tan Laoqi with a frown.

Tan Laoqi said: "Yesterday, your lord, Mu Xiu, took the old lady, his wife, the young lady, and the young master to Hongyuan Temple for a meal. This morning, the master from the temple came and said that my lord and the others were all killed."

Tan Laoqi looked at Fatty Wang cautiously.

Fatty Wang didn't seem to understand and asked, "What do you mean by being in trouble?"

Tan Laoqi whispered: "Master Wang, the old lady, the madam, the young mistress, the young master, as well as the servants, maids, and boys at home, all died, no one survived."

Fatty Wang staggered back a few steps, and Tan Laoqi hurriedly supported him: "Sir, my condolences! Mr. Xu has sent Mr. Jin to the capital to report to the superior government office. Now Mr. Xu has asked the government officials to take control of Hongyuan Temple. Young Master, please take a rest or go over now."
