The reason why Wang Yu and Princess Tong 'an didn't return to Suizhou directly from Qizhou and instead came to Taiyuan was because Wang Renbiao had married a commoner and angered the elders. Wang Yu was worried that this matter would affect Wang Renbiao's position as the heir of the Wang Family, so he brought Princess Tong' an back to the ancestral home to mediate.
At the time, Wang Yu had intended to persuade the elders with an important argument: Imperial power was at its peak, and Li Zexuan was also favored by the Emperor. Since Li Jingchu was Li Zexuan's adopted sister, she could be considered a match for Wang Renbiao. The Wang Family couldn't offend Li Zexuan because of this matter. Moreover, when Lu Chengqing of the Lu Family of Fanyang and Li Jingxuan of the Li Family of Zhao County found out that Wang Renbiao had married Li Zexuan's adopted sister, they all left for Lantian County to participate in the fundraising event.
In the beginning, the elders of the Wang Family didn't believe that Li Jingxuan and Lu Chengqing would participate in the fundraising event. To be precise, they didn't think that the arrogant Five Families and Seven Hopes would 'bow' to a small Marquis. In addition, Wang Yu only speculated that Li Jingxuan and Lu Chengqing would go to Lantian County to participate in the fundraising event. There was no direct evidence, so Wang Yu didn't argue with Wang Kui and the others on this point.
But now, the donation list published by Datang Daily was a solid slap to the faces of Wang Kui and the others.
Didn't you say that it was impossible for Li Jingxuan and Lu Chengqing to participate in the fundraising event? Then why were their names on the list? And the two of them donated 30,000 strings of cash each?
"Yu 'er, this old man heard that the sudden martial law in the city has something to do with Prince Wei and the group from Yanhuang College?"
In the backyard of the Wang Family's main house.
Wang Bing suddenly thought of something and asked after seeing Wang Yu leave and instruct the servants to deliver the newspapers to the other elders.
"Replying to Father, it was the Commander of the Imperial Army, Dugu Xin, who came to Taiyuan with Prince Wei. He was assassinated in the southern part of the city this morning. The Bing Provincial Governor speculated that this group of assassins was likely to harm Prince Wei. In addition, after His Majesty learned of the situation in Taiyuan through the telegraph, he issued an edict to the Provincial Governor's Office to enter the city to capture the assassins."
Hearing Wang Bing's sudden concern, Wang Yu paused for a moment before replying truthfully.
"What? The Dugu Clan's kid was assassinated in Taiyuan City? His Majesty even issued an edict to the Provincial Governor's Office through the telegraph? "
Hearing this, Wang Bing said with a slightly shocked expression.
"Yes, Father!"
Wang Yu nodded and then said, "This child has already ordered all of the Wang Family's hidden guards to assist the Provincial Governor's Office in searching for the assassins in the city! Our Wang Family has been operating in Sourcepeak City for many years. If we don't contribute at this time, I'm afraid it won't be justifiable! Moreover, if something happens to Wei Wang and the teachers and students of Yanhuang College in Taiyuan City, I'm afraid that our Wang Family will also be implicated! "
Wang Bing stroked his beard and agreed, "En! Yu 'er, you did the right thing! Wei Wang was one of the Emperor's most beloved princes. He could not allow anything to happen to him in Sourcepeak City! Moreover, since my cousin is on good terms with the Marquis of Yong 'an, our Wang family cannot let anything happen to his student in Sourcepeak City! Therefore, the Wang Family cannot stand by and do nothing. Send out all of the Wang Family's secret guards and try to find the assassin as soon as possible! "
"Yes! Father! "
Wang Yu cupped his hands and replied.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. A servant shouted from outside, "Reporting to Patriarch, there is a messenger pigeon from Chang 'an. It is an imperial edict from the Imperial Palace!"
