Chapter Thirty-Four: Another Wang Dalang Arrives

  Wang Kuang saw Lin Zhu Bo and only then thought to ask the main question, so he put away his previous playful attitude and solemnly gave Lin Zhu Bo a bow: "Reporting to you, sir, when I was young, my father said that if one respects someone in their heart, they should give them the thing they love most. This son has always loved eating pig's feet."

  "Oh?" Lin Zhongbo was very pleased with the flattery, and his heart felt a bit better. He thought for a moment and asked, "Does eating trotters every time make your stomach uncomfortable?" He couldn't help but ask, as the trotters were really delicious. Since he had already eaten them once, except for last night's discomfort, he hadn't noticed anything else. Besides, Lang Zhong had also said that his body was fine, just that last night's disturbance was really unbearable.

  When Wang said that it was a normal reaction to eating spicy food for the first time and would stop after getting used to it, he stopped making any noise but gave Li a signal with his eyes: "Li, you send Wang Da Lang out."

  Li Guan's wife responded and led Wang Kuang out, after exiting the side hall, she said in a low voice to Wang Kuang: "Yesterday, the pig's feet you sent over were very much liked by my husband, normally he only eats one bowl of rice, but yesterday he actually ate an extra bowl, feel free to send some more often."

  Wang Kuang nodded and thanked Li Guanjia for his help earlier: "Thanks to Li Guanjia for helping me out of trouble earlier."

  "It's just a small effort, no need to take it to heart, I'm also often on business outside the mansion. There are few people in Jian'an City who say that you don't know courtesy, so I suppose you did this on purpose today." After finishing speaking, he bowed his hand to Wang Kuang: "I still have to thank you."

  "Why should I thank you?" Wang Kuang was a bit confused, he had no dealings with this Li Guanjia, and his brother Li Guanshi he had only met twice, and they didn't have any close relationship.

  "Heh heh." Li Guanjia looked a bit embarrassed, but his face was filled with joy. "To be honest with you, sir, I'm already thirty-four this year, and my wife and I have been childless all these years. But after hearing that the mud loach from your Rich Come Inn has rejuvenating effects, we've been getting people to buy some back for us to eat. We've been eating it for a few months now, and just recently, my wife has become pregnant! It's all thanks to your Rich Come Inn!"

  Loach is good at digging in the mud, which has the effect of nourishing yin and tonifying kidney. Wang Kuang knew it, but it shouldn't be so magical, right? It must have been just right for the symptoms, and accidentally helped Li Guan's family, no wonder he would speak up for himself, Wang Kuang suddenly realized.

  Back at the inn, Sun Mingqian was pacing back and forth in front of the hall. Seeing Wang Kuang return, he was overjoyed: "It's great that you're back, it's great that you're back! It's almost an hour now, and Uncle is still worried that Lin Zhonglu will give you a hard time. How was it? Was everything okay?"

  "Thanks for your concern, uncle. As I said earlier that I would bring back a surprise, and now it's really here." Wang Kuang smiled.

  "What's the surprise?" On the other side, Old Sun also perked up his ears to listen. Upon hearing this, he put down his pen and hurried over to ask. He was an elder of the Sun family and had practically raised Sun Ming himself, so he didn't have much reserve in front of him.

  There were already many diners in front of the hall who had seen Lin Zhong's family members come to call Wang Kuang away, and also saw Sun Ming's anxious expression, guessing that it wouldn't be a good thing. Therefore, those with good intentions deliberately slowed down their eating and drinking, wanting to see the excitement. Now, seeing Wang Kuang smiling and returning, they vaguely heard that there was some surprise, so they all perked up their ears.

  Wang Kuang saw that it wasn't convenient to talk in front of the hall, so he pulled Sun Mingqian and Sun Zhanggui into a small room where they usually ate, and told them about what had happened one by one.

  "Who would have thought that Dalang was so clever, great, wonderful!" Sun Mingqian burst out laughing with joy, while Sun Zhanggui smiled with his eyes narrowed and stroked his beard, although he didn't say a word, but his face was already beaming with delight.

  "So it seems that this iron box is crucial, and can't be taken lightly. But has Dalang ever thought that if he were to make three iron boxes, Lin Zhonglu would definitely find out, so how could he keep it a secret?"

  "This doesn't matter, the blacksmith's owner is also a distant relative of Sun Er and has some relation with someone. It's just that in the past, Sun Er was down on his luck and rarely went out, but now he's become a manager and the Rich Guest House is thriving. If we send Sun Er to run an errand at night and promise him some benefits, I'm sure he'll keep quiet." Sun said at this time, "It seems that for someone like the blacksmith who is so greedy for profit, it's easy to shut him up."

  "Very well, then it's settled. As for how much to pay, Manager Sun will take care of it." Seeing that the matter had a solution in sight, Sun Ming also put his mind at ease.

  After the discussion was settled, Wang Kuang had nothing to do again. Seeing that it was still early, he prepared to go out for a stroll. As soon as he arrived at the front hall, he saw a group of people gathered around a case in front of the hall, seemingly discussing something. He squeezed in with a few quick movements, taking advantage of his small stature and the respect the guests had for his identity as Young Master Dong's son.

  "Where did you get this token from?" Inside, a young soldier with thick eyebrows and big eyes was grabbing the collar of a food customer's robe with one hand, using great force, almost lifting the customer's feet off the ground, while holding a token in his other hand.

  The food customer's throat was grabbed, and he couldn't breathe. His face turned bright red, how could he speak? The other customers nearby saw the soldier's fierce appearance and didn't dare to remind him either.

  "Third Highness, Third Highness!" Wang Kuang shouted loudly at this point. These guys are now looking down on everyone, the guests came and ate after ordering food, but now they don't know where they've run off to again.

  "What's your name, you poor little thing? What business do you have asking about my family affairs?" The soldier saw Wang Kuang calling for someone and turned his head to glare at him fiercely. "Don't think that just because you're young, I won't dare to do anything to you!"

  He had seen arrogant people before, but never one as arrogant as this. Wang Kuang thought to himself, his eyes catching sight of the wooden plaque in the soldier's hand, which was one he had given out himself. As for the food customer, Wang Kuang remembered him - it was just a few days ago that he came to drink and told Wang Kuang that the hidden prince rebellion, which Wang Kuang was most worried about, had been put down. At this time, a bold food customer spoke up: "This is the young master of Fugui Inn, brave warrior, you're detaining someone in his inn without letting go, naturally he would call for help."

  "Put him down." Since the man was rushing to deliver the card to Wang Kuang, Wang Kuang said to the soldier: "The card is what I gave him, and I have many more here. What do you want with this card?" After finishing speaking, Wang Kuang took out a few more from his pocket and placed them on the table.

  "It's just that, I also have that card." The customer who had cards in his hand also chimed in and showed off his own cards.

  "Where did you get this card from?" The soldier put down the food box he was holding, and his hand turned to grab Wang Kuang again. He stopped halfway, seeing that Wang Kuang was just a kid, and there were many people watching around him, so he didn't dare to do it. However, his eyes stared at the card that Wang Kuang had taken out without blinking.

  "It's none of your business." Seeing the other person being rude, Wang Kuang also lost his temper.

  He may have also realized his attitude problem, seeing Wang Kuang's displeasure, the soldier was a bit embarrassed, his face flushed red, and he stifled for a while. He slapped himself on the ear, then said to Wang Kuang: "I'm sorry about earlier, I was wrong. This slap is my apology. If you're not satisfied, what should I do? Please tell me, just ask you to tell me where this token came from."

  Wang Kuang's heart skipped a beat, could it be...

  Actually, this plaque was made by Wang Kuang imitating the Huili wood plaque worn by Wang Xian. It has a bit of charm and looks like it's been around for a while. Firstly, when preparing to engrave the plaque, he couldn't think of what style would be good at the time, and secondly, the floral pattern on Wang Xian's Huili wood plaque was not complicated, so it was easy to engrave. Therefore, Wang Kuang directly imitated it. Who would have thought that this would lead to today's incident?

  "Are you referring to another brand?" Wang Kuang asked uncertainly.

  "How did you know? Is that brand from your place?" The soldier's eyes lit up, asking hastily. Then he shook his head: "Don't try to deceive me, your age doesn't match."

  "The watch is my second brother's." Wang Kuang continued to probe.

  "Is that your second brother? Is it a sign made of one piece of huanghuali wood? Is your second brother called Erzi?" The soldier's eyes lit up, and he jumped up, "Where is he now? Take me to see him quickly, take me to see him quickly."

  "Who are you?" Wang Kuang had already made up his mind at this time. When he first saw the plaque on Wang Xian's face, which was polished to a bright shine and seemed to be many years old, Wang Kuang guessed that it should be some kind of token or something used for inheritance.

  "Some is Wang Da, the elder son's paternal uncle. I also have such a token on me." The soldier rummaged through his chest for half a day and pulled out a piece of huanghuali wood token that was exactly the same as Wang Cai's, tightly grasping it in his hand, handing it over to Wang Kuang to see, but not letting go, as if afraid that Wang Kuang would snatch it away.

  You're called Wang Da, so others should call you Wang Dalang. I'm also called Wang Dalang, it's really confusing. Wang Kuang smiled wryly and silently criticized the naming conventions of this era. Seeing the sign, Wang Kuang was already certain that the soldier in front of him must be a relative of Wang Xian, so he felt relieved. With his heart at ease, he started joking with the soldier: "Everyone calls me Wang Dalang."

  With a burst of laughter, the people around him all started laughing. This is something that often happens in everyday life, not to mention Jian'an City, even in a small village, such things can happen.

  "Someone remembered, you are the second son of the next door family, all of our Wang family. You call the second son as second brother is also deserved." Then Wang Da shouted loudly, "Haha, great to see you again!" After shouting, he burst into tears, "Our ancestors above, my Wang family people are still here, still here!"

  The crowd of diners on the side couldn't help but sigh, thinking that it's been several years since the beginning of the Zhenguan era, and everywhere was once filled with families torn apart by war and chaos. This kind of situation has rarely been seen in the past two years, but now seeing this scene again, those who have had similar experiences can't help but think of their own family, and their eyes are already red.
