Chapter 989 Kang Rong Opens a Private Warehouse and Becomes Famous [2]

The sons of noble officials and young masters from wealthy families all became interested and echoed Kang Rong.

The poor teachers, also hoping to see the Kang family's ancestral treasures and thus enhance their own reputation, stood up and followed, "Master Rong, please lead the way."

"Let's go." Kang Rong led a hundred guests and headed towards the back mountain of Zhuangzi.

At first, Master Kang, Manager Kang, and the Kang family martial artists didn't take it seriously. They just thought it was a little prank by the young master and let Kang Rong play with him.

but……

"Master Rong, there is a deep mountain area ahead. There is not much scenery and there are wild boars. Please stop, Master Rong." Master Kang Zhuo advised.

He is the instructor assigned by Kang Liwen to Kang Rong. Whenever Kang Rong does anything against the rules, he must come out to stop him and give him guidance.

Kang Rong looked at him and said with a smile, "Uncle Zhuo, this is the first time since I turned eighteen that I've officially hosted a banquet for scholars from all over the world as the eldest son of Lord Kang Liwen. I have to let the guests see something real. Besides, I've already made a promise, how can I go back on my word?"

"Don't worry, Uncle Zhuo. I know what I'm doing... Gentlemen, follow me. Today I'll let you see this ancestral treasure!"

"Thank you, Master Rong, for broadening our horizons." The scholars from all sides bowed and expressed their gratitude. Although they were a little tired, they were still in high spirits.

And they have come such a long way, they must see the Kang family's ancestral treasure!

Lawyer Kang Zhuo sensed something was amiss and immediately ordered a servant of the Kang family, "Songshi, go and tell the master immediately and ask for a handwritten letter from the master, asking Master Yong to dismiss the guests and return home to prepare for his next trip to Taifeng Town."

He then ordered his servants, "Go around and find the second leader, Kang, and tell him to be on guard and not let the young master pass the first sentry post."

"Yes."

"Yes."

The servants went to do it separately.

Master Kang Zhuo caught up with Kang Rong's team and kept a close eye on Kang Rong to prevent him from doing anything stupid that would implicate him.

But in order to open a private warehouse, Kang Rong had already sent Kang Li's servants to guard several important roads in the manor.

The two groups of servants sent by Master Kang Zhuo were all caught by Kang Rong's men.

The person who took a shortcut to report the news to Leader Kang Er was mistaken for a thief by Kang Li's servant and was knocked unconscious.

Boom, bang!

The servant fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

"Steward, the man has been stopped, but he is Master Kang Zhuo's confidant. If we stop him, when he wakes up, he will definitely go to the master to file a complaint against our Li family. I'm afraid that our aunt's housekeeper power will be taken away again." The servant surnamed Li said worriedly.

Steward Xiao Li said, "Master Rong is our master, and there's nothing wrong in obeying him... Tie this fellow up, gag him, and take him aside to guard him."

"Yes." The servant named Li suppressed his uneasiness and did as he was told.

Songshi, the servant, was also stopped by the servant named Li.

But Song Shi had someone to rely on. Seeing that Li Er, the steward, dared to stop him, he sneered and said, "Li Er, I am a servant of the Kang family's master in the capital. My aunt is the concubine Min in the mansion. She gave birth to two sons for you. The third young master was a student at the age of twelve, and the fifth young master could write poems at the age of four. He is loved by you. I am leaving this time to report to you. Even if you are your servant, you can't stop me!"

Manager Li Er's face was as dark as ink, but in Kang Liwen's mansion, it was Concubine Min who was more favored.

It was because Aunt Min was not only beautiful, but also given by the old lady in the capital, so she could communicate with the old lady in the capital.

Although Kang Li's family came from a noble family, the Li family failed to seize the opportunity at the beginning of the Wei Dynasty and is now becoming increasingly weak.

It has reached the point where the Kang family in the capital doesn't care about Kang Li at all.

"Come here, arrest this cunning slave who openly spread the rumor that Lord Kang favors his concubine over his wife, and send him to the authorities for investigation!" Liang Zhi had just led his men to Kang's farm when he heard Song Shi's words. He seized the opportunity and immediately gave the order.

"Yes!" The soldiers under his command rushed over and quickly tied up Turquoise.

Song Shi was horrified and shouted, "Captain Liang, what are you doing? I didn't spread rumors that my master favored his concubine and killed his wife..."

Liang Zhi: "So this is indeed the case? If so, I will inform my father and have him submit a memorial to the capital to implicate your father."

Song Shi was stunned and said hurriedly, "Captain Liang has misunderstood. Our master did not favor his concubine over his wife... It was the steward Li Er who stopped me. I was afraid of missing my mission, so I brought up Aunt Min and pressured her."

The fact that he favored his concubine over his wife could not be publicly acknowledged, so Song Shi could only admit his mistake.

"I was wrong. Please, Captain Liang, have mercy on me and let me go... After all, this is the Kang family's business, and I really have something urgent to report to you, my Lord."

"What's the urgent matter? Just tell me. I can send cavalry to help you go to the Provincial Administration Office and report to Kang Liwen."

Song Shi was no fool, and he realized what was happening: "Captain Liang, have you discussed this with our young master? The young master really wants to do something detrimental to the Kang family... Kang family martial artist, quickly rush out to find the master and tell him that the young master is colluding with outsiders to harm the Kang family!"

Liang Zhi laughed: "A mere servant dared to order the Kang family's servants to rebel against the Kang family's legitimate young master. The Kang family's family tradition is truly eye-opening for us."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Kang family's martial artists and servants all hesitated, not daring to be the first to run out of the manor gate and complain to Kang Li.

Liang Zhi calmed them down and handed over the invitation: "We are here for the banquet."

Look, we have an invitation, we are not bringing troops to intrude into your village.

The Kang family martial arts captain accepted the invitation and looked at the crowd behind Liang Zhi: "These over a hundred... farmers, are they also guests invited by our young master?"

Behind Liang Zhi, the old farmers, porters, and traveling merchants took out their invitations one by one. "We have an invitation. It was sent to us by Young Master Kang Rong... We don't know if it's real or not, but we thought it would be a pity not to come, so we took the invitation to have a look."

Unexpectedly, not only was the invitation real, but a military officer was also there to pick them up.

The arrangements are so thoughtful, they must come in and taste the food at the banquet hosted by the young master of the aristocratic family!

The Kang family's martial arts captain, Song Shi and others had gloomy faces and understood that Young Master Yong had made a big fuss.

The Kang family martial arts captain said, "Captain Liang is coming to the banquet, so we dare not stop him, but we will send someone to inform the adults."

Liang Zhi: "This is your Kang family's business. Even if I am a thousand households, there is no reason for me to stop it. We are just here for the banquet today."

There is a huge difference between coming to a banquet and meddling in other people's family affairs, or leading troops into someone else's territory.

The latter two are against the rules and illegal.

Liang Zhi has grown up and is not as reckless anymore, so he is the first type, holding the invitation and entering the door in a reasonable manner.

After hearing this, the captain of the Kang family's martial arts team gritted his teeth and agreed to let them go... If he didn't let them go, with the tyranny of the Northwest Army, Liang Zhi would definitely not let their people leave to report to Lord Kang.

"Fellow villagers, let's go into the village for a feast!" Liang Zhi shouted, and entered the village with fifty soldiers who had invitations and more than a hundred Wei people of all levels.

"Hurry, go to the city and invite the master!" The captain of the martial arts team ordered, and went to untie Song Shi himself.

Song Shi was so angry that he cursed the martial arts captain: "Kang Wukui, you must be planning to be betrayed by your whole family. You actually dared to let Liang Qianhu in. Something is wrong today. You have to stop him even if it costs your life."

The captain of the martial arts team: "..."

Bah, you are bullying your master. He is General Liang’s second son, a young hero who has met Your Majesty and followed Your Majesty to conquer the country. If you have the guts, go and stop him.
