In addition to these defensive methods, a ten-meter-wide trench was dug in addition to the dock. Although there is no water in it, there are sharp bamboo shoots that are more terrifying than water. When a person falls, he immediately has to pierce his heart.
Outside the trenches, there are rows of houses for tenants and family collaterals to live in.
If there is an enemy coming, these tenants and collateral children of the family will issue an alarm as soon as possible. The family warriors and guards in the dock can calmly take precautions.
This is Wangjiawu Fortress, all in the world, with bronze walls and iron walls, let alone people, even a fly would never come in.
Behind the dock, in the back garden pavilion arranged like a royal garden, a middle-aged man dressed in brocade robe and a majestic face is playing against an old man with goat's whiskers and a shady face.
The middle-aged man has a ruddy complexion, fair skin, and is very clean, fresh and well-dressed. Wearing an octagonal hat on his head, there is a jewel inlaid in the center.
Wearing a black ring engraved with a simple pattern on the middle finger, if you look closer, you will find that what kind of pattern is that is clearly a mysterious and mysterious Taoist rune. The cool air radiated from the ring, submerged into the skin of the middle-aged man, refreshing him, and nourishing his body at the same time.
This is a treasure ring at the level of a magical artifact. The material is a thousand-year-old gloomy wood that is worth a lot of money, and it is the best quality among gloomy woods, golden nanmu.
The gloomy wood is a very yin thing, harmful to the human body, and even some Taoists often use it to raise corpses.
However, if the gloomy wood is refined and blessed by Taoism and worn on the body, it is not only harmless, but can nourish the body and spirit, and has the magical effect of refreshing the mind. It is a rare treasure.
Such treasures cost at least ten thousand taels of silver. Because it is the golden nanmu among the best ebony, the price is more expensive, at least doubled, only twenty thousand taels of silver.
With the strength of the Chu family, don't even think about it. Only the head of a wealthy family like the Wang family can enjoy such expensive treasures.
In addition, on the middle-aged man's left thumb, he wears a dark green jade pull finger.
The left is the respect, the thumb is the big, dare to wear the finger on the thumb, it means that power and wealth are all together. People who are not rich and noble will never dare to wear this thing indiscriminately.
The middle-aged man holds the white chess in his hands, seeing through the domineering and murderous, this small chessboard, in his eyes, is the entire Wangtai County.
Those who accompany him to play chess are much more shabby, and the badge of the animal head on the chest is particularly conspicuous. A black iron badge made of black profound iron, with a dreaded big snake on it, spit out a snake letter.
This badge has a lot of origins, and it also shows the identity of the goat-bearded old man, the black iron rank beast trainer.
No wonder the old man is qualified to play chess with the middle-aged man, and he is still a leisurely, calm and casual appearance.
Because beasts and martial arts are both respected, powerful profound beasts and monsters can overwhelm the world and destroy the earth. Therefore, the profession of animal trainer is particularly popular and highly respected.
The animal trainer is divided into seven levels, the lowest is the white wooden animal trainer, the chest badge is wooden, and there is a bird engraved on it.
The level of profound beasts that a white wood-level beast trainer can tame is one to three. The beast trainer Lao Hu invited by the Chu family was a white wood-level beast trainer.
And it is still the bottom of the white wood-level animal trainer.
With the financial resources and connections of the Chu family, they can only afford the worst animal trainer of this kind. Even so, it took a big price to defeat several other big households of the same size as the Chu family, and only then did Lao Hu be hired.
It can be seen how popular animal trainers are!
Several domestic servants who waited for tea, snacks, and fruits stood far away outside the back garden, waiting to be summoned. The two guards with swords on their waists guarded the entrance with indifferent expressions.
At this time, a young man in his thirties, with an anxious expression, walked quickly.
"I have seen Young Patriarch!" Seeing the youth, several servants hurriedly bent over and saluted. The two guards also showed respectful expressions.
The young man didn't stay at all, didn't even look at these servants and guards, and quickly entered the back garden and walked straight to the pavilion.
Before getting closer, he called out "Father!"
The middle-aged man who was playing the game couldn't help but frowned, and he reprimanded in a deep voice, "How many times have I taught you? You have to be calm when things happen, why are you still so frizzy?" The voice was not loud, but the young man trembled slightly and didn't dare. There is the slightest rebuttal. He didn't even dare to let out the atmosphere, standing beside him with his head down and hands down.
"The boss, the young boss has always been stable on weekdays, so anxious, presumably something really happened." The goat-bearded old man helped the young man to explain.
"For the sake of Master Mo speaking for you, I won't punish you this time!" Patriarch Wang slapped a button, and then said, "Why is it so flustered?"
It turned out that the black iron rank beast trainer hired by the Wang family was named Mo.
The status of the trainer is respected and does not belong to the servants of the Wang family, so the titles of the Wang Family Patriarch and the Young Patriarch are just called Dongjia and Shaodongjia.
More than a month ago, the Wang family calculated the Chu family and wanted the Chu family to hand over the fourth-level spirit fox. And borrowed flowers to present the Buddha, and gave it to the magistrate of the county. It is equivalent to taking the treasure of the Chu family and asking the Wang family to please the county lord.
This was a brilliant plan, which could not only damage the strength of the Chu family, but also seize the opportunity to win over the relationship between the Wang family and the county lord.
Who knows, an expert in the Chu family made a poisonous trick to resolve it. He got a white first-level black fox and smashed the Wang family.
At that time, the Chu family beat gongs and drums, carried the cage, and sent the fourth-level spirit fox to the Wang family.
Family Master Wang and even Master Mo have personally checked, and it is indeed a Level 4 Spirit Fox. But when the Wang family happily transported the fourth-level spirit fox to the county seat with great fanfare the next day, and uncovered the red cloth covered with the animal cage, everyone's face changed.
What level 4 spirit fox is in the cage? It was clearly just a first-class black fox.
The smile on the county lord's face faded away on the spot, and his eyes were cold and solemn, and his eyes looked at the Wang Family Patriarch with a faint murderous intent.
Although only Qu Qu's Seventh Grade Sesame Officer, he is the leader of the party and the leader of Wangtai County. How can you allow the Wang family to play openly? This is called him dignified and majestic. How can his face and majesty be
If it weren't for the Wang family's promise, he would give the county lord a satisfactory explanation, I am afraid that the Wang family is already facing catastrophe.
It is not easy to find a four-level spirit fox. If you want to find a pure white fourth-level spirit fox, it is even more difficult to find.
The Wang family lifted a rock and hit it in the foot, but the Chu family didn't hurt it, and as a result, it suffered.
In order to pacify the county lord, the Wang family finally endured the pain, gritted their teeth and dedicated the ancestral enlightenment futon to the county lord. This matter came to an end.
In addition to this incident, there is one more thing that has also depressed the Wang Family Patriarch for many days.
The Wang family finally got Wang Dian to the county patrol camp, and under the operation of various forces, Wang Dian became the captain. This is the deputy of Jiupin's inspection. Just waiting for the opportunity, it is possible to take the position of inspection.
But Wang Dian didn't know what was going on, and he offended the inspector to death.
How can you be a soft-hearted person if you can be a patrol and take charge of the county's arrest of thieves
It didn't take long for Wang Dian to be found colluding with private salt dealers while performing his mission. He secretly harvested the benefits and put two kinds of private salt into the county. Wang Dian was immediately imprisoned in the county yamen jail.
It happened that the Wang family was wicked by the county lord because of giving away the spirit fox.
The multi-party cooperation not only convicted Wang Dian of the crime, but also imposed a heavy sentence of exile.
A member of the Wang family who had worked hard for many years, was so damaged for no reason.
