The greater Madam Wang's expectations for Wang Chong, the greater the disappointment she felt at this moment. This wasn't just directed at Wang Chong, it was also directed at herself.
If she hadn't been overly lenient toward Wang Chong, things wouldn't have developed to such an extent.
"Mother, I'm sorry. I know my mistake! "
Wang Chong knelt on the floor and lowered his head, blaming himself. Even though he did this for his father and the Wang Clan, and Wang Chong didn't think that he was wrong, his mother was completely unaware of this matter.
Wang Chong had no way to explain everything to her. Everything would have to wait for half a month later. Only when his father discovered Yao Guang Yi's scheme would his mother understand his painstaking efforts.
"Mother, little brother isn't in the wrong on this matter!"
Suddenly, a stubborn voice sounded from the side. It was as clear as a silver bell. Hearing her little brother constantly admitting his mistakes despite being wronged, Wang Xiao Yao couldn't take it anymore and stood up.
Even though she was afraid of her mother, Wang Xiao Yao couldn't bear to see her little brother being wronged.
"This matter isn't little brother's fault, why do you have to say that little brother is in the wrong!"
Wang Xiao Yao stared at her mother stubbornly and said indignantly.
"What did you say?!"
Madam Wang was taken aback. She widened her eyes and trembled in anger. "You still dare to talk back!"
"Little sister, stop it."
Wang Chong was also taken aback. He hurriedly pulled his little sister's hand. But this time, his little sister actually shook him off.
"Hmph, why can't I say it?"
Wang Family's little sister's stubborn temper flared up. This time, she didn't listen to Wang Chong at all. "That Yao Feng instigated Ma Zhou to frame little brother for kidnapping a lady, so little brother and I went to teach him a lesson. Is this also wrong?"
"What? You said that Yao Clan's Yao Feng instigated Ma Zhou to harm your brother? "
Madam Wang was truly shocked this time. She looked at the kneeling Wang Chong and the stubborn Wang Xiao Yao. Clearly, she wasn't aware of this matter.
"Of course! I saw it with my own eyes! That fellow Ma Zhou has already admitted it! "
Wang Xiao Yao said confidently.
The thoughts of a ten-year-old girl were innocent. Until now, she still thought that the reason why Wang Chong brought her to the Vast Crane Pavilion to teach Yao Feng a lesson was to exact vengeance.
Repaying kindness with kindness and enmity with enmity. In this matter, he completely supported his little brother.
Madam Wang was originally furious, but at this moment, her anger suddenly subsided. She looked at the two siblings in a daze, unable to say a word. Initially, Madam Wang didn't believe that Wang Chong would kidnap a lady.
Her son might be stubborn, disobedient, or loafing around, but Madam Wang believed that no matter how bad he was, it was impossible for him to be so bad that he would do such a thing.
The reason why he was teaching him a lesson was because regardless of whether Wang Chong had done it or not, his reputation as a rapist had already spread, and even the Wang family's reputation had been affected.
The people outside wouldn't care about the truth. They would only know that this matter was done by Wang Chong, and the Wang family was the descendant of the Wang family!
"Really?"
Madam Wang asked. However, she wasn't looking at Wang Xiao Yao, but at the kneeling Wang Chong.
"Un."
Wang Chong hesitated for a moment before nodding his head. Even though he didn't come to the Vast Crane Pavilion for vengeance, his little sister's words weren't wrong.
"Sigh!"
Madam Wang sighed deeply. Suddenly, she was at a loss for words. Wang Chong and his sister had caused such a huge trouble, implicating the Yao and Wang family, and even reaching the ears of the emperor. Logically speaking, they should be taught a lesson.
However, Yao Feng made use of Ma Zhou to plot against Wang Chong, causing Wang Chong's reputation in the capital to fall to the ground. Infuriated, Wang Chong brought his little sister to the Vast Crane Pavilion to teach him a lesson. This was understandable.
Even though Madam Wang didn't like Wang Chong and his sister causing trouble everywhere, her husband was, after all, a general who guarded the borders. Madam Wang didn't wish for her child to be a coward who was afraid of everything.
From this aspect, Madam Wang didn't think that there was anything wrong with the actions of Wang Chong and his sister.
"Stand up!"
Madam Wang sighed. "I will explain this matter to your big uncle personally. As long as this matter isn't your fault, even if the emperor were to ask about it, we will be able to answer to him. "
"Thank you, mother."
Wang Chong stood up and heaved a long sigh of relief. Turning to look at his little sister, Wang Chong couldn't help but feel grateful.
At this moment, Wang Chong couldn't help but feel glad that he brought his little sister along for this operation. Otherwise, this matter would be difficult to resolve.
"Hehe, not bad, right?"
Seeing that her brother was looking at her, the Wang Family's little sister lifted her proud little face without any humility. Wang Chong grinned and secretly gave her a thumbs up to satisfy his little sister's arrogance.
She was his little sister after all, he didn't dote on her for nothing!
"… However, even though this matter is Yao Feng's fault, the two of you are too much."
At this moment, the voice of their mother, Zhao Shu Hua, echoed in their ears. Hearing their mother's voice, the faces of the siblings immediately collapsed.
"Especially you. As a girl, how can you fight with others like a boy? How unsightly is that?"
Madam Wang's gaze turned to look at Wang Xiao Yao, who had 'talked back' to her, and reprimanded her once more.
"Yes, Yao 'er knows her mistake!"
The Wang Family's little sister's face darkened. With a 'I knew it would turn out like this' expression, she lowered her head and kicked the ground out of boredom. Her mother's words went in one ear and out the other.
"If such a thing happens again, tell your brother that you won't go! If he dares to say anything else, tell me and I will break his legs … "
Madam Wang didn't let go of this opportunity to 'discipline' her and continued to nag.
The Wang Family's little sister's round eyes started to wander around. Clearly, she was distracted and wanted to slip away.
Upon seeing this scene, Wang Chong chuckled in his heart. He already knew what she was up to.
"Mother, I'm hungry. Why don't we go and eat first?"
The Wang Family's little sister suddenly pressed her stomach with a pitiful and aggrieved look. As she spoke, a rumbling sound came from her stomach.
Madam Wang's heart softened, but her face soon turned stern. "We can talk about eating later. In the future, you're not allowed to fight with others."
"Eh, look, who's that?"
The Wang Family's little sister suddenly lifted her head and widened her eyes in astonishment. Making use of the moment when her mother turned her head back in astonishment, Wang Xiao Yao pulled her brother and ran:
"Brother, run!"
Wang Chong chuckled. Flinging his arm away, as though he had practiced this countless times, he ran with his little sister. Behind them, Madam Wang's furious voice sounded:
"Wang Xiao Yao! If you dare to run, I will lock you up for three days! "
…
For the time being, Wang Chong managed to escape the calamity of the Vast Crane Pavilion.
Early in the morning, he received news of the two Sindhi Buddhist Wang Chong.
As expected, Wang Xiao Yao was locked up for three days. By the time Wang Chong went to look for her, she was already nowhere to be seen. Even though Father Wang said that he would return at night to deal with them, there was no news of him until late at night.
Most likely, his father should have been transferred back to the borders by now. Everything was the same as in his previous life.
Wang Chong lay on the bed with his hands crossed behind his head. However, he couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard he tried.
The events of the day surfaced in his mind once more. The two Sindhi Buddhist Wang Chong had returned so early. This was something that Wang Chong didn't expect.
"That shouldn't be the case. Could it be that the Tang dynasty and WuZi Steel are fated to be together?"
Lying on the bed, Wang Chong felt deeply indignant.
Given his current situation, WuZi Steel was the best opportunity for him to accumulate a huge amount of wealth. Even though it wasn't to say that Wang Chong couldn't think of other ways to make money, all the other money-making opportunities paled in comparison. But all other money-making opportunities paled in comparison. Otherwise, Wang Chong wouldn't have subconsciously thought of 'Wootz Steel'.
Not only so, WuZi Steel had another special meaning.
In his previous life, the Tang dynasty missed this opportunity, and in the end, WuZi Steel was used by their enemies. In the end, thousands of Tang dynasty elites fell under the blades of WuZi Steel, and their blood flowed like a river.
This was a huge blow to the Tang dynasty!
This left a deep impression on Wang Chong. That was why he was so bothered by it and wanted to change everything.
In this life, WuZi Steel had just appeared and wasn't well-known. This was an excellent opportunity to make use of it. Wang Chong originally thought that he could make good use of this opportunity to accumulate a fortune for himself and benefit the Central Plains. However, he still failed.
"What is going on? Could it be that because of my rebirth, the Tang dynasty couldn't even get a tiny bit of WuZi Steel in the end? "
Wang Chong laid on the bed, feeling that something was amiss. It seemed that he had neglected something important.
Wang Chong didn't think that there was anything wrong with making use of other people's strengths. In his mind, Wang Chong carefully recalled the incident regarding WuZi Steel in his previous life.
In his previous life, Wang Chong clearly remembered that there was a clan that came into contact with the two Sindhi Buddhist monks and purchased some WuZi Steel from them at a high price. If the two Sindhi monks were to return now, wouldn't that mean that the clan wouldn't be able to purchase the WuZi Steel, and all of this wouldn't have happened?
Wang Chong's mind was in turmoil, and he couldn't make sense of it.
"Something isn't right!"
After an unknown period of time, Wang Chong suddenly thought of something. Alarmed, he leaped up from the bed.
"Those two Sindhi Buddhist monks only know Sanskrit, and they don't know the language of the Central Plains. How could a person who doesn't know the slightest bit of Sanskrit talk to them, and even say that they are weird?"
Wang Chong finally understood what was amiss. Sindhu was located to the west of the Western Regions, far away from the Central Plains. The monks there rarely came to the Central Plains.
Even if they did, the majority of the Sindhi monks who came here knew the language of the Central Plains, and they had no problem communicating with them. However, these two Sindhi monks were different. They only knew Sanskrit, and nothing else. Even the Hu beyond the Great Wall and the Hu of the Western Regions couldn't understand their language.
It was precisely because of this that no one knew what they were up to, and even more so, no one knew that they were selling WuZi Steel. Thus, when the matter of WuZi Steel was exposed, it caused such a huge uproar.
Someone once said that if only those who knew Sanskrit in the Tang dynasty weren't so rare, if only someone could ask those Sindhi monks, if only the WuZi Steel from Hyderabad could be used by the Tang dynasty, then the strength of the Tang dynasty would be completely different, and it would become even more powerful.
Big Golden Tooth said that they spoke in a weird manner, and if he had never met them, he wouldn't have said that.
"That's not right, the people Big Golden Tooth saw were Tocharian monks, not Sindhi monks!"
Wang Chong contemplated for a moment, and suddenly, he recalled a story from his previous life and came to a realization. The Tocharians and Sindhi were neighbors, and they also believed in Buddhism. Furthermore, they built a huge reclining Buddha statue, which was extremely spectacular. Furthermore, there would often be many Tocharian monks coming to the Central Plains to spread their teachings.
As the Tang dynasty didn't have much understanding of the countries in the far west, in this era, people would often confuse the Tocharian monks with the Sindhi monks, and even think that the Tocharians were Sindhi, and the Sindhi were Tocharians.
When Big Golden Tooth said that these people spoke in a weird manner, he was clearly talking about the Tocharians!
Thinking of this, Wang Chong was overjoyed, and the knot in his heart was instantly swept away. If the people Big Golden Tooth saw weren't Sindhi monks, that meant that the two Sindhi monks were still in the Tang dynasty, and they were still here. In other words, he still had a chance!
In that instant, Wang Chong felt that every cell in his body was relaxing, and his heart was filled with joy.
Even though Big Golden Tooth gave Wang Chong the wrong information, Wang Chong didn't come out empty-handed.
"White Agate Jewelry Shop."
Wang Chong recalled the place that Big Golden Tooth mentioned.
The Tocharians were far from the Central Plains, and when the monks there headed to the Tang dynasty, they would ride on the carriages of the Zhaowu people of the Western Region. In his previous life, Wang Chong knew that these people and horses were fixed. Only certain Zhaowu people would ride on these monks.
Sindhi and the Tocharians were neighbors, so there was only one way to get to the Tang dynasty. If he could find out the whereabouts of the Tocharians at the White Agate Jewelry Shop, he would definitely be able to find out the whereabouts of the two Sindhi monks.
