Chapter 408 The Twins That Were Sent
"Lord Wang, although I cannot be certain that you are Wang Wenzhou, I am very uneasy to see that your subordinates are hungry. I will have food prepared immediately." Fang Tianhua hurriedly instructed his subordinates, and in a short while, several yamen runners lowered two pigs and two sheep down from the city wall.
Wang Wenzhou was furious. "Fang Tianhua, are you trying to fob me off like a beggar? I am an imperial envoy and military supervisor in the Northwest, and you treat me like a thief!"
Yu Tao said with a smile, "Lord Wang, although the food is a bit meager, it can at least give the brothers a hot bowl of soup. I will have someone start a fire and cook right away."
"A gentleman doesn't accept charity. How can I tolerate Fang Tianhua showing such disrespect?" Wang Wenzhou cursed. "Little brother, come here. Do as I say. If I don't kill this bastard Fang Tianhua today, I'll change my surname to yours!"
Wang Wenzhou called Fang Tianhua over and gave him a few instructions, then ran back to the carriage to take a nap.
In a short while, the crowd below the city walls shouted in unison: "Imperial Envoy Wang has arrived in Jingyang. An investigation has revealed that the magistrate of Jingyang is corrupt, extorting and plundering, oppressing the people, and committing all sorts of evil deeds. Fang Tianhua resisted law enforcement, keeping the city gates closed and refusing to let Lord Wang into the city. People of Jingyang, Lord Wang begs you to open the city gates! He will surely uphold justice for you and punish the corrupt official Fang Tianhua!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Tianhua turned pale with fright. Wang Wenzhou was really something else! This was practically trying to kill him!
Fang Tianhua broke out in a cold sweat. It was still early, and most of the people were still asleep. Once they woke up and heard the shouts, they would likely force open the city gates. If that mad dog Wang Wenzhou came in, he would surely kill him to vent his anger.
Fang Tianhua regretted his actions. He shouldn't have prevented Wang Wenzhou from entering the city. He should have tried to win him over from the beginning. Now, it's too late to undo what's done!
"What should we do?" Fang Tianhua nervously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Fang Tianhua's advisor, Master Li, thought for a moment and then said, "Sir, I do have a plan, but..."
Master Li swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Fang Tianhua frowned and said coldly, "Master Li, what time is it? Speak quickly if you have something to say. If Wang Wenzhou enters the city, not only will I lose my head, but my reputation will also be ruined."
Li, the clerk, whispered, "Sir, you could ask your two concubines for help. Wang Wenzhou is a womanizer; if..."
Master Li's voice trailed off; he really couldn't continue speaking—it was too offensive. After all, this was about instigating Fang Tianhua to become a cuckold.
Fang Tianhua thought for a moment and said coldly, "This is the only plan now. I hope Wang Wenzhou is really a womanizer."
……
Wang Wenzhou rested his head on Liu Rushi's lap and took a nap.
Yu Tao, both amused and exasperated, knocked on the carriage and said, "Lord Wang, please wake up."
"Fuck you!" Wang Wenzhou was furious because he had been turned away and hadn't slept well. He immediately started cursing, "You surnamed Yu, are you ever going to stop? I can't even get a peaceful night's sleep!"
"Lord Wang, Fang Tianhua has sent someone to request an audience," Yu Tao replied.
"Too late!" Wang Wenzhou cursed. "That bastard Fang Tianhua dared to disrespect me. I'm not one to suffer a loss! Tell Fang Tianhua to hurry up and wash himself clean, because I'm going to chop off his head!"
"Lord Wang, please spare my husband!" The two sisters, Dai Xiangdie and Dai Zuidi, climbed into the carriage, sobbing.
When Wang Wenzhou looked up, he was stunned. The two babies were twins, and they were wearing the same clothes. In Wang Wenzhou's eyes, the two beautiful babies looked exactly alike.
“Babies, babies, don’t cry! What’s wrong?” Wang Wenzhou asked gently, changing his tone.
Liu Rushi's expression changed, and she lightly nudged Wang Wenzhou, saying sarcastically, "What else could it be? Fang Tianhua slapped you, then realized it hurt, so he's bringing you a sweet treat."
“Lord Wang, please don’t be angry. My master truly doesn’t know the details. He’s afraid there are thieves impersonating you to cause trouble. That’s why he won’t let you into the city. Just now, my master learned of Lord Wang’s identity and specially sent us sisters to invite Lord Wang into the city,” Dai Xiangdie said softly.
"Xiao Yu, this is none of your business. Go ahead and do your thing." Wang Wenzhou waved to Yu Tao.
Yu Tao curled his lip. This Wang Wenzhou was really a womanizer. As long as you sent him a pretty girl, he would probably agree to anything.
Yu Tao lowered the carriage curtain and turned to leave.
As soon as Yu Tao left, the Dai sisters took off all their clothes.
"Cough cough cough..." Wang Wenzhou coughed awkwardly a few times, and complained in a serious tone, "My two darlings, let's talk things out properly, don't just take off your clothes all the time! How could I, an official, sleep with the wives and concubines of a lowly official? It would be too embarrassing if word got out!"
“Lord Wang, this matter is known only to Heaven, Earth, you, and me; no outsiders will know. We sisters only want to serve Lord Wang well!” Dai Xiangdie said softly.
"Hmph!" Liu Rushi snorted coldly, saying irritably, "Shameless little bitch! I'm still here! And you dare to seduce my man right in front of me!"
The Dai sisters blushed deeply. They were both educated and knew proper etiquette; the key issue was that their master had offended Wang Wenzhou, and given Wang Wenzhou's temperament, he wouldn't let him off the hook. For their master's sake, they had abandoned all pretense of dignity and compromised.
“Ruru, we can’t just condemn him outright, can we? Fang Tianhua knows his mistakes and is willing to correct them. We should give Lord Fang a chance. Go out and tell them to stop shouting. If they keep shouting, I’m afraid I won’t even need to come into the city to investigate the case. The people will tear Fang Tianhua apart alive,” Wang Wenzhou said with a smile.
Liu Rushi's expression changed, and she twisted Wang Wenzhou's ear around in the air. "You rascal! You don't care about anything when you see a girl?"
"Hey, hey..." Wang Wenzhou quickly begged for mercy: "Ruru, don't be angry, come here, I'll talk to you."
"Hmph!" Liu Rushi snorted coldly, leaned over, and said coquettishly, "Tell me, if your reason can convince me, I will agree to let you sleep with both of them."
Wang Wenzhou held Liu Rushi in his arms and whispered, "Rushi, do you think Fang Tianhua is an honest official?"
Liu Rushi frowned; this was a question she found very difficult to answer.
Wang Wenzhou continued, "In my opinion, there will never be any honest officials in Shaanxi. If there were, there wouldn't be so many displaced people, let alone so many bandit troops."
Liu Rushi nodded slightly, then playfully scolded, "You mean, you can sleep with any corrupt official's concubine?"
Wang Wenzhou said in a serious tone, "For people like Fang Tianhua, who are shameless, their rule is worse than death for the people under their jurisdiction. So many people wish Fang Tianhua were dead, but a person can only die once! Even if I were to execute him by slow slicing, it would only be death for him!"
Wang Wenzhou continued, "For corrupt officials who don't care about the lives of ordinary people, I not only want to kill them, but I also want to cuckold them while they're still alive! Only in this way can I make them feel pain and know the taste of a life worse than death. That would be the greatest punishment for them. In their next life, if they become officials again, they'll think twice about whether they dare to be corrupt again!"
"Hmph!" Liu Rushi snorted coldly.
“Ruru, Ruru, evil people will be punished by evil people. Take Xiaoyan for example, because of Shen Zizhen, that corrupt official, her family was destroyed. Xiaoyan, if you had the chance, would you be willing to see Shen Zizhen turn into a cuckold?” Wang Wenzhou asked Qi Siyan.
"Mm!" Qi Siyan nodded in agreement.
Liu Rushi shook her head with a wry smile. She felt she had been tricked, and her enemy's excuse was simply irrefutable.
"Alright! You win! Sister Yan, let's go out." Liu Rushi took Qi Siyan's hand and stepped off the carriage.
