"Tonight, this young master is going to hold a banquet in the mansion, you go and prepare, and send my name cards to the Guo Mansion, Zhang Mansion, Chen Mansion..."

Wang Gai said while winking at the maid beside him.

The maid held the name cards and came to the butler.

After the butler took the name cards, he nodded repeatedly: "I obey the young master's order, this old servant will send the name cards to the main mansions later."

Wang Gai smiled with satisfaction and nodded: "Also, the standard of the banquet in the mansion must be high."

"Take out those lacquerware treasured by my father."

Thinking of the time Guo Li showed off in the mansion, Wang Gai felt unhappy.

In this Taiyuan Commandery, who else could compare with his Wang family.

It was just that Guo Li had shown off in front of him after getting a few beautiful maids.

Today, no matter what, he had to regain his face.

Thinking of the look of astonishment on Guo Li's face when he saw Diao Chan tonight, Wang Gai felt relieved.

"Alright, go and arrange it."

Wang Gai waved his hand to dismiss the butler, and then asked someone to find Zhang, the head of the music and dance troupe.

Not long after, the head of the troupe, Zhang, stood respectfully in front of Wang Gai in the hall.

After returning from the failed mission in Wucun Township last time, the head of the troupe, Zhang, told Wang Gai the cause of the matter.

The head of the troupe, Zhang, failed to do his job and was punished by Wang Gai, and had been having a hard time in the mansion for several days.

Glancing at the head of the troupe, Zhang, the expression on Wang Gai's face was not good.

"Head of the troupe Zhang, last time you went to Wucun Township and failed to bring back Diao Chan, I didn't punish you, did I?" Wang Gai said with a straight face.

The head of the troupe, Zhang, immediately nodded: "The young master is benevolent, it was this lowly one who let the young master down."

"Hmph." Wang Gai snorted and said: "A few rustic peasants scared you into retreating, doesn't that tarnish the reputation of my Wang Mansion?"

"If the matter spreads, outsiders will really think that my Wang Mansion is easy to bully."

"My father is not in Taiyuan Commandery now, but it's not like any random rustic peasant can do whatever they want on the head of the Wang Mansion."

"I don't bother with that rustic peasant because I'm afraid of tarnishing my father's reputation and letting my father be pointed at in Luoyang."

"But that doesn't mean this matter will just end like this."

Wang Gai's words immediately made the head of the troupe, Zhang, look suspicious.

It won't just end like this?

Could it be that he still wants him to go to that Wucun Township?

Thinking of those fierce people in Duan Yu's house, the head of the troupe, Zhang, felt his neck go cold.

"That... young master, the deed of sale has already been taken back by Duan Yu, I'm afraid that..."

"Did I let you speak?" Wang Gai frowned.

The head of the troupe, Zhang, was immediately scared to his knees: "This lowly one knows he was wrong, this lowly one knows he was wrong, young master, please forgive me, young master, please forgive me."

Wang Gai rolled his eyes.

"You go to Wucun Township right now."

Wang Gai frowned and said: "I have already dealt with that Duan Yu, as for how to bring back Diao Chan, I think you should know what to do."

Wang Gai said, and took out a document from his sleeve.

The signature, seal, and stamp on it were all handled by Jinyang County Magistrate Chen Ye.

The head of the troupe, Zhang, looked at the document on the ground with suspicion, and then hurriedly picked it up.

Scanning it at a glance, the head of the troupe, Zhang, immediately widened his eyes.

"Go and do it, you don't need me to teach you the rest, right."

The head of the troupe, Zhang, nodded repeatedly and said respectfully: "This lowly one understands."

Outside Jinyang City.

The head of the troupe, Zhang, took a carriage out of the east gate.

Also leaving the city with the head of the troupe, Zhang, were the two people from before and the driver.

"Head of the troupe, are we still going to Wucun Township."

"Yeah, head of the troupe, that guy surnamed Duan doesn't look like someone easy to get along with, if we go again..."

The head of the troupe, Zhang, shook his head.

Wang Gai had just clearly told him that Duan Yu had already been dealt with.

This was something he hadn't expected.

Originally, he thought the matter was over since he didn't bring back Diao Chan last time.

But didn't expect...

"Sigh..."

The head of the troupe, Zhang, sighed.

He also didn't expect that this matter would implicate the life of that young man surnamed Duan.

But he was also helpless.

For a clan like the Wang family.

The lives and property of ordinary people, even some small landlords and small wealthy merchants, were not taken seriously by the Wang family at all.

If Wang Gai said he wanted to kill Duan Yu, it might only take one sentence.

At the beginning, he just wanted to keep his job, he never thought about harming anyone.

He was just a person of lowly status.

But this was fate.

This was the fate of these pathetic people.

What could he do?

That young man named Duan Yu, if he had to blame anyone, he could only blame himself for being an innocent man who harbored a treasure.

Even the future fate of that Diao Chan, the head of the troupe, Zhang, could already foresee.

The head of the troupe, Zhang, sighed and didn't explain anything to his two subordinates.

"Let's go, since the young master has given instructions, we servants can only follow them."

The head of the troupe, Zhang, said helplessly.

At this time, the carriage had already passed through the gate of Jinyang City's east gate and was driving towards the drawbridge outside the moat.

However, just at this time, a burst of panicked shouting came from outside the carriage.

The people on the drawbridge over the moat didn't know what had happened and all exclaimed.

The head of the troupe, Zhang, in the carriage frowned, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and just as he was about to ask, his eyes saw a young man riding on a pure black warhorse in the distance.

That horse...

The head of the troupe, Zhang, had seen it.

That person...

The head of the troupe, Zhang, had also seen him.

"Duan... Duan Yu?" The head of the troupe, Zhang, was stunned.

Not far away, riding a horse and standing on the other side of the moat, with dozens of warhorses and a group of people behind him, wasn't that Duan Yu from Wucun Township?

And the head of the troupe, Zhang, also saw clearly why the people on the drawbridge over the moat were panicked.

For no other reason than that there were strings of heads tied to the dozens of warhorses behind Duan Yu.

Without counting carefully, one knew there were hundreds!

"This..."

The eyes of the head of the troupe, Zhang, widened instantly.

Didn't Wang Gai say he had already dealt with Duan Yu?

But...

Looking at the hundreds of bloody heads, the head of the troupe, Zhang, suddenly realized.

Could it be...

"Could it be that these people were sent by Wang Gai to deal with Duan Yu, but..." The head of the troupe, Zhang, suddenly felt a chill all over his body.

He felt very lucky in his heart.

Lucky that he had just left the city. ===== CHAPTER 143 =====
