Only then did Du He suddenly realize, but he asked again: "This kind of matter involves a lot of things. I'm afraid no one can make a decision in a short while. Can we keep waiting?"
Fang Jun had already ordered the shopkeeper to remove the banquet and set up a coffee table and a few chairs near the window. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "I'm full of wine and food. I just happen to have a cup of hot tea here. Let's wait." The time it takes to make a pot of tea is to wait until the tea is tasteless and out of date.”
The shopkeeper now knew the identities of the people in front of him. Seeing that Shen Zong, the son in charge of his family, was being suppressed, he didn't dare to neglect. He quickly removed the banquet, arranged the coffee table and chairs, and brewed a pot himself. The fine tea leaves are placed respectfully on the coffee table.
"My dear gentlemen, please bear with me. This tea is just an ordinary grade on the market. I couldn't find anything better in my haste. I apologize for my apology."
Fang Jun laughed and said indifferently: "Drinking tea is a state of mind, just like drinking wine is an atmosphere. When three or five friends sit across from each other and drink tea, what they taste is the state of mind, not the quality of the tea. ."
The shopkeeper quickly nodded and bowed, saying yes again and again.
But I couldn't help but wonder in my heart: just now, the Duke of Yue was so powerful and domineering in front of Shen Zong and Wang Jing, but now he can be gentle and kind. There is no violation in the change of style, smooth and natural, he is really a strange person...
The three of them sat down at the coffee table by the window, and Fang Jun called Pei Xingjian over. The four of them drank tea and chatted together, which was very comfortable.
Du He is most proud of such occasions. As long as he is not talking about serious business, he is very lively and smart. He will tell ordinary interesting things, add jealousy and exaggerate them, and it is full of fun.
Pei Xingjian is also a son of a famous family, and is no stranger to socializing. In the past two years, he has been in Huating Town and has controlled the distribution of the entire Jiangnan wealth. easy.
I don't know when the light rain started to fall outside the window. A breeze blew in from the open window. The hot steam from the tea was swaying in the wind, and the fragrance of the tea was dense.
They were sitting here sipping tea comfortably, but the whole city of Suzhou seemed to be exploding...
*****
The Suzhou government office was only separated by a wall from Wangjiang Tower. As early as hundreds of soldiers marched into the city, the government office had already received the news. Later, Shen Zong and Wang Jing felt that they were beaten by a group of forbidden troops and were running around crying for their fathers and mothers. , the government office is already shaking up and down.
Every official who can enter the government office has one or several clan members standing behind him. They themselves represent the interests of their respective clans, and they are also outstanding figures in the family. These people have a clear understanding of the situation of each family in the south of the Yangtze River. , regardless of the fact that the Lanling Xiao family is the leader in the south of the Yangtze River, the Chen County Xie family is elegant in literature, and the Langya Wang family has a profound heritage... The one who is most difficult to offend is the Wuxing Shen family.
"Family style is fierce", this is the most intuitive label of the Wuxing Shen family. It can be seen that when Shen Faxing raised his arms and led thousands of his descendants across the Yangtze River, he coerced tens of thousands of elites from each family to stand up and become king. The children of the Shen family are more engaged in business and read less poetry and books. They are very brave and fight fiercely in the countryside, which gives everyone a headache when they see them.
His Highness the King of Wei performed an operation on the Wuxing Shen family, which made these people feel happy and even more worried.
They don't even pretend to be a difficult person like the Wuxing Shen family, which shows how determined they are. If anyone wants to deny those goods and farming industries, His Highness the King of Wei may come to the door tomorrow.
The misfortune of the Shen family made everyone realize the fact that the eloquent and eloquent descendant of the Taiyuan Wang family did not seem to be very reliable.
At least it’s not enough in front of Fang Jun...
With the majesty of King Wei, a noble man in the sky, and the tyrannical power in the hands of Fang Jun, these two people were like fierce dragons crossing the river. As soon as they appeared, they had the power to shock Jiangdong.
Thinking back to the vacillating attitudes in their respective families, it was inevitable to worry about gains and losses, and kept staring at the situation at Wangjiang Tower.
As for His Royal Highness the King of Wei riding horses in the street, causing trouble and hurting people... everyone tacitly kept silent, and no one even mentioned it.
In the governor's room, Mu Yuanzuo drank the best Longjing tea, savored the fragrant aroma of the tea, smiled and said to the two people in front of him: "Wang Dalang is as gentle as jade and full of knowledge. Although he is an outstanding person among men, he compares more and more.
The Duke is still a little bit behind."
The admiration is very obvious.
Previously, Wang Jing crossed the river in white clothes and secretly contacted various Jiangnan noble families, which made Mu Yuanzuo worried, fearing that his sharp tongue would be used to connect various Jiangnan families to form an alliance to jointly resist the prince's influence. So, he
The governor of Suzhou could not sit still.
But who would have thought that when Fang Jun arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, he would directly confront Wang Jing with his back foot. There was no conspiracy or strategy, and he just went straight up to fight against Wang Jing, leaving Wang Jing in a state of embarrassment and losing all face.
He really turned his hand into clouds and turned his hand into rain, reversing the situation in an instant.
Mu Yuanzuo couldn't hide the look of pride on his face, but the two people in front of him just forced out a smile in embarrassment, without any hint of laughter at all.
The younger man was fair-faced, beardless, and quite handsome. He coughed and said: "The Duke of Yue made countless achievements in his southern and northern campaigns. His navy even crossed the seven seas without a single defeat. He conquered Silla, Japan, and Annan."
They are all manipulated by him, and his strategies and skills are rare in the world, so it is naturally difficult for Wang Dalang to compete."
Although these are all facts, this person just said a kind word. After all, everyone knows that Mu Yuanzuo can firmly hold the position of Suzhou governor to this day, and may even go further into the central government because of him.
He joined Fang Jun's camp and received Fang Jun's strong support, otherwise the Jiangnan nobles would have joined forces to squeeze him away...
In front of Mu Yuanzuo, who can say anything bad about Fang Jun?
Unexpectedly, Mu Yuanzuo didn't seem to know that he was talking politely. He pretended to be surprised and said: "Hey, there are rumors that the Xiao family and Wang Jing are secretly flirting with each other. I am still very puzzled. After all, the Xiao family and the Duke of Yue have an affair."
In-laws, my brother-in-law and Fang Jun are even more like uncles, so how could they turn their elbows outward? Seeing that my brother-in-law admires Duke Yue so much, it turns out that the rumors are wrong."
This young official was a descendant of the Xiao family. He looked ugly due to being bullied by Mu Yuanzuo, but he could not get angry. He could only forcefully laugh and drink tea with his head down.
Mu Yuanzuo looked up at another person.
This man was older, about forty years old, with a slender face and three long beards, and an outstanding demeanor. Upon seeing this, he cupped his hands and said with a bitter smile: "Don't take down the official position in the Ming Dynasty. The lower official position is just the Langya Wang family."
How can a boy from a branch of the clan, who obeys the orders of the family, be the least bit master? The Duke of Yue slapped his face hard, but he couldn't hit a little guy like Xiaguan in the face."
Mu Yuanzuo laughed, gestured for the other party to drink tea, and then said slowly: "That's what I said, but back then, I had heard about the grievances between your Langya Wang family and Yue Guogong. I don't care who is right and who is wrong.
The gap between them is difficult to cover up. The Duke of Yue's current methods must be to sweep away the public opinion with thunderous force and wipe out all the opponents in Jiangnan. The Langya Wang family is now closer to the Taiyuan Wang family. This is not
No matter what good thing, no one can guarantee that the Duke of Yue will not attack the Langya Wang family again after the Shen family. And if the Yue Duke really wants to attack the Langya Wang family, it is naturally impossible to attack the family. Then cut off the wings of the Langya Wang family.
It is the best means of deterrence.”
The Wang family's face turned bitter and he couldn't laugh.
The truth is obvious. Fang Jun has tortured the Jiangnan nobles several times before, causing them to bleed and lose their faces. If he went straight to confront any one of them, the emperor would not agree.
You can't just barge in and give them a hard fight, but it doesn't mean that you really can't do anything with these Jiangnan nobles. One way is to strangle each family's neck in the maritime trade, and the other way is to attack them in the officialdom.
There is no doubt that as long as Fang Jun seriously entertains the idea of taking care of the Langya Wang family, he, a Suzhou Mutual Market Supervisor from the sixth grade, will be the first to bear the brunt.
It's a pity that I have spent more than ten years of energy. Although I have the support of my family, I have only relied on my own efforts to get this official position. I am afraid that if there is a strong wind, I will lose everything. If Fang Jun is cruel and malicious, he may even be able to arrange for himself.
For one crime, he was directly sent to Lingnan.
In political struggles, there is no mercy, and I will never hesitate to use any tricks that can be used...
He could only smile bitterly: "The interests of the family come first. We, the children, should sacrifice our lives to repay each other. How dare we talk too much?"
