Shipin Dalizheng

Gui Ergou didn't know the reason, but Rong San and Rong Si knew it themselves and were a little excited.

Gui Ergou said, "The young master went to Beijing to buy something that he said couldn't be found in town. I don't know what it is exactly. Oh! Rong Dazhu and Wang Youcai went to his house to get some wood, maybe they know."

Li Shiwa jumped out and said, "I know where his two families are. I'll take you there."

Rong Dazhu's house was relatively close. When they went over, Rong Dazhu was putting a large, thick board on the cart. The Sixth Master felt a little distressed, but he didn't stop him. He just kept touching it reluctantly.

Seeing Rong San coming to inquire about Rong Tang's whereabouts, Rong Dazhu said, "What's missing are copper hoops and copper pipes. Those are controlled items, and we need to go into the city and find a specialized workshop for them."

Rong San knew where to find someone. This workshop was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry, and it was difficult for ordinary people to buy things from it.

The two of them immediately mounted their horses and sped away.

Li Shiwa watched them go away, then turned around to help Rong Dazhu push the cart and returned to the compound together.

Rong Tang and his two companions entered the capital and still entered through the west gate. Without even looking around, they rode their horses straight to the Ministry of Works and asked about the location of the forging workshop.

But when we went to the forging workshop, the owner shook his head like a rattle when we asked for bronze tools, "No, no, we need a warrant from the master."

Rong Tang didn't get angry either. He stepped forward and asked, "Which adult do you want to see to approve the warrant?"

"At least he has to be a doctor. You should go find Lord Tang. Compared to other officers, Lord Tang is easier to talk to."

The person in charge looked at the three of them. They were all riding horses, so they should not be ordinary people. He pointed to the location of the Tang Mansion and asked them to find it.

Rong Qi reached into his chest, hesitating whether to take out his master's token and use it. The head of the Ministry of Works would certainly give his master face, but his master's identity was also exposed in front of Master Rong.

He winked at Rong Wu, who took it in. "Sir, shall I accompany you to the Tang Residence?"

Rong Tang looked at Rong Qi and smiled meaningfully, "Since you two have already arrived in the capital, why don't we just say goodbye now? I can handle the matter myself, and you two can go back to your original masters to report!"

Rong Qi was very anxious. He didn't know why Rong San and Rong Si had been gone all night and no news had come back yet.

"Master, Rong San hasn't come to give an explanation yet, and our mission is not yet complete. Please don't chase us away yet."

"I'm not trying to chase you away. All good things must come to an end. After all, you're someone else's trusted confidants, and it's not right for you to keep following me around. So, I'll go get some servants to keep you company, and you two can rest easy."

Rong Qi said, "Sir, it's not easy to buy a servant who knows martial arts, and the ones we just bought may not be useful, so let us..."

As soon as Rong Tang raised his hand, Rong Qi stopped talking. This had become a habit he had developed along the way.

In fact, Rong Tang also sighed in his heart. There were so many useful people, and they had developed a tacit understanding, but it just happened that they were not his.

"Let's just say goodbye!"

As he spoke, he pulled the horse and headed in the direction the person in charge pointed.

Rong Qi and Rong Wu looked at each other, not knowing what to do, when they saw dozens or even hundreds of servants and guards rushing towards them from the other end of the long street, all holding sticks and shouting.

Someone shouted, "Don't let them go! They actually dared to hit the young master."

Several familiar faces appeared in the crowd, they were Jin Yaoyang's men.

Rong Tang naturally didn't want to fight head-on as the enemy was outnumbered and powerful, so he turned his horse and headed in the other direction. Unexpectedly, a group of people also rushed over from the other direction, led by none other than Jin Yaoyang.

Jin Yaoyang was also riding a horse. His horse was obviously taller and more majestic than Rong Tang's. He pointed at him with a sinister smile on his face and said, "Charge for me, young master. If you kill him, I'll take the blame."

Seeing that both ends of the long street were surrounded, they had nowhere to go.

The workshop owner, upon seeing the fight in the street, recoiled in fear and headed for the door. Suddenly, Rong Tang dismounted, held the door open, and shouted, "Excuse me, someone is trying to kill Concubine Rong's nephew. Please help report this to the authorities."

The master's heart skipped a beat. This even involved the Empress in the palace? Who was this Empress Rong's nephew?

While he was stunned, Rong Tang pushed the door open and rushed in.

Rong Qi and Rong Wu appeared anxious, but inwardly they were ecstatic. Wasn't this a chance to show off their prowess? They dismounted, threw the reins to the leader, and prepared to fight.

Unexpectedly, Rong Tang shouted from inside, "You two, come in quickly and run out the back door."

They were both stunned. Are they going to run? Although they felt there was no need to run, but since the young master had given the order, it would be unreasonable not to run.

Rong Qi said, "Master, please help us watch over the horses for a while. Thank you later."

His crutch was still hanging on the saddle as he rushed into the workshop yard.

Rong Wu went in afterwards, and the person in charge was so anxious that he jumped up and down, "How dare you, how dare you! Who told you to trespass into the workshop? This is the factory headquarters..."

A large group of people rushed in at once, and the leader lost his reins and turned around twice before stopping.

Another half turned into the narrow alleys on both sides of the workshop, intending to encircle the enemy from three directions.

The person in charge cursed loudly, "Damn it, who is so bold as to break into the Industrial Deployment Office with weapons..."

The gatekeeper hurriedly covered his mouth, "Master, please don't curse. This is the eldest son of the Jin family, the Minister of Rites. The one being chased is the legitimate son that the Rong family brought back from outside. These two fought each other for the family property and were bloody. We can't afford to offend them."

The official shuddered, remembering that the biggest gossip in the imperial city these past few days was the farce between the Jin Shilang Mansion and the Jian'an Earl Mansion, vying for titles and property. One was a third-rank minister, the other the family of a concubine in the palace. He really couldn't afford to offend either of them.

Cold sweat broke out on his face, and he wiped it vigorously. He said to the servant, "Go report it to Jingzhao Prefecture. Even though we can't afford to offend them, we still need to ask for compensation for the damage."

The servant ran away.

Rong Tang turned left and right in the workshop, and took a long pole in his hand. Rong Qi was the first to catch up with him, "Sir, do you need to run? Rong Wu and I can handle it."

Rong Tang said as he ran, "I know you guys are good at fighting. I'm not afraid of their numbers, I just want to disperse them and defeat them one by one. Hey! Is your leg not lame anymore?"

Rong Qi's face froze and he forgot about it.

"My legs still hurt, and I'm just gritting my teeth and holding on."

Rong Tang looked at him suspiciously, "You better take it easy. It won't be easy to heal if you get hurt again."

As he spoke, Jin Yaoyang's furious voice grew closer and closer, "You wild boy named Rong, give me your life."

An arrow flew over, Rong Tang dodged it by turning his head, and kicked a row of bamboo poles away, blocking Jin Yaoyang's pursuit on horseback.

Jin Yaoyang cursed and dismounted, his men spreading out, surrounding Rong Tang from all directions. Rong Tang moved nimbly, and in a short while, he reached the back wall.

Jin Yaoyang laughed arrogantly, "Rong Tang, I'll see how you can escape."

Rong Tang didn't say anything else, but ran faster. When he was near the wall, he pushed the long pole to the ground, kicked his feet, jumped high, and climbed over the wall.
