Chapter 71 Blocking the Door

After thinking for a long time, he finally thought of someone who could help: Wang Biao, the current commander of the Rong Family Army. The scene in the hall yesterday had left a deep impression on him. This idiotic Jian'an Earl's son posed a potential threat to Wang Biao, and he must be eager to eliminate him.

But first he still needed money as a stepping stone, so he walked towards the Moon Gate adjacent to the two mansions.

But when he got closer, he was furious. He saw that the housekeeper Tao was directing the craftsmen who were in charge of the garden in the Bo Mansion to move bricks and build a wall to block the moon gate.

He was immediately filled with anger, "Tao Ting, you are so bold, you dare to block the master's way."

Butler Tao was afraid and nervous, yet he had to hold himself together. He hugged the big turtle tightly in his arms and said, "Master, please don't blame me. The prince has ordered that this turtle not be allowed to wander around the two mansions. After much thought, I think the only solution is to block the door. If you want to come to the mansion, you can go through the front gate. However, my wife has passed away, and the backyard is occupied by the elder women of the Rong family, so it is not convenient for you to go there. Otherwise, I will prepare an empty room in the front yard for you. Come and sit when you miss my wife."

Jin Shizhao only lived in the Bo's residence for a few years during the early years of his marriage, and his relationship with his wife Rong was distant. Later, when Yang Lianhua came into the family, he gradually gained his own status and built his own residence. He no longer stayed at the Bo's residence, so there was no bedroom or study for him there.

What Butler Tao said was like a stab in his heart, especially the big turtle that stretched its head out and looked around, which made his face feel like it was burning with pain.

"That unfilial Rong Tang, is he not going to let his own father in?"

Housekeeper Tao opened his eyes wide and said, "Master, this has nothing to do with our prince. He has gone to recuperate. Aunt Xiu is in charge of the Bo Mansion. If you have any needs, please talk to me. I will ask for my instructions."

Jin Shizhao's expression was sinister. "Where did Miss Xiu come from? How come I don't know her?"

"This matter was decided when the old uncle was still alive. If you have any questions, you can go and ask the old uncle in person."

Before Jin Shizhao could question her, Madam Jin, unable to protect her nephew, stumbled over and cried, "Shizhao, Shizhao, Lian Ye has been arrested. What should we do?"

Jin Shizhao was really annoyed, but was afraid that it would be too late to rescue the people, so he had to bear the pain and take out the valuable things he had hidden and hurried to Wang Biao's house.

When Old Lady Jin saw the moon gate, she was so angry that she yelled through the door, "You jinx, bitch! I have the keys to the storehouse, and I'm the boss of the mansion. Just wait, I'll be there soon, and see what you can do to me."

Rong Xiu, who was peeking in the dark, frowned, feeling embarrassed. She heard Ma chomping melon seeds and spitting, "You old bitch, you even forgot your last name. When did Jin become the master of the Rong family? Isn't it just the key to the storehouse? If we Rong have it, we are the master. If she has it, she is a thief. Xiu-gu, according to my niece-in-law, break the lock and replace it with a new one. It's a good opportunity to see if these cheapskates living in the mansion are loyal. Have someone guard the gate and call as many neighbors as possible so that everyone can judge the case. At worst, we can report it to the police."

Rong Tang is already the prince, what is there to be afraid of?

Mother Yao sighed softly, if the eldest daughter could be so open-minded when she was alive, she would not have died of depression.

Regardless of what kind of battle was going on here, Rong Tang and his group walked for about two hours and finally returned to Rongjia Village.

Most of the men in the village didn't know that Rong Tang was pretending to be injured, and they didn't want to disturb him to rest. They went back to their homes, and only a few core members entered the compound together.

Gui Ergou, who was watching over the house, heard that the young master had returned. He pouted and was about to cry, "Young master, I was scared to death. What happened to your leg? Why are you lying there motionless? Are you seriously injured?"

Just as he was about to rush over and hug Rong Tang's thighs, Rong Tang pushed away the person who was supporting him and stood still.

"Okay, stop howling, your master is fine."

As he said this, he walked back to the main hall.

Gui Ergou: "...", his emotions were so strong, what should he do? He quickly wiped his face with his sleeves and put on a smiling face, "I knew that the young master was so powerful and could not suffer any loss. Grandpa, uncles and aunts, please find a stool and sit down. Ergou will pour you some tea."

Over there, Li Shiwa had already come over with a kettle, pouring water for the adults one by one. Although he was young and not as sentimental as Gui Ergou, he was actually worried that something had happened to Young Master Tang.

What Rong Tang cared about most was of course the brewing equipment. He immediately wanted to see the finished product and install and debug it. Seeing that men, women, young and old were all sweaty, he realized that he and Chuncao, the third master took the car, Rong San and others rode horses, and the others walked back, exhausted.

"Chuncao, go tell Aunt Dahu to cook more food so that everyone can eat before leaving. If there's not enough food at home, go to the village and buy some chickens."

Chuncao had money in his hands and knew that the villagers had made great efforts, so he readily agreed and went out to buy chickens and vegetables.

Goudan's mother and Erpang's wife looked at each other and stood up and said, "Miss Chuncao, we'll go help you."

After the three people left, the remaining people sat down to rest and drink water.

After a while, they bought a chicken and Goudan's mother and Erpang's wife helped to light the fire and cook in the kitchen.

Chuncao waved to Rongtang, and Rongtang understood. The two of them walked to a deserted place to talk.

Chuncao laughed so hard that her body shook. "Master, Goudan's mother and Erpang's aunt were afraid that you would forget their wages, so they hinted at it several times along the way. I already have some money on me, but I don't know if you have any other ideas, so I'm holding back."

Besides Rong Tang's cunning tactics, the four women in the village also contributed greatly to their victory over the Jin family father and son. Honestly, while it was just a natural display of their nature, gossiping and stirring up trouble, it wasn't something most people could pull off.

This can also be regarded as special use of special talents.

"Thirty wen a day might seem like a lot to them, but it's actually quite risky. And with Ma's personality, she might not be willing to share her money with them. So, give each of them an extra five taels and tell them it's hush money. If word gets out and their identities are exposed, they'll be arrested and imprisoned. They haven't been home for a few days, so each of them can grab a chicken and take it away for the whole family to eat."

Chuncao agreed and went to the kitchen to do this and that. Goudan's mother and Erpang's wife swore to heaven that they would keep their mouths shut. Each of them got a chicken and five taels of silver, and left happily.

Over there, Rong Dashan and his friends had rested enough and stood up to walk towards Rong Tang. Rong Dashan said, "Master Tang, oh no, Prince Tang, let's assemble the equipment first. I wonder if that guy surnamed Yang has damaged it."

Rong San said, "That bastard tried to assemble it himself, but it seems he didn't succeed."

Some of the equipment was made at home, and only the more sophisticated ones were customized in town, so of course they cannot be put together.

Rong Tang had the copper hoops and copper pipes taken out of the carriage and assembled. Rong An asked, "Prince Tang, this isn't cheap, is it? How much do you need so I can keep track of it."

Rong Tang said, "If you don't take the money, consider it a favor we owe you. We'll find a chance to pay it back later!"

He still hasn't figured out why the workshop manager paid out of his own pocket to make the parts for him and then personally delivered them to the villa.
