“We agreed beforehand, we agreed clearly. Hundreds of people in the business are waiting for their lives! How can we forget about it!”
“How can the Hou Mansion convince the public by changing orders every day and every night?”
“You are bullying people like this, does Mr. Weining know?!”
“Master Jiao, Master Jiao, don’t be like this, don’t be like this, what did I do wrong, please tell me, I will change it, I will apologize, I will kneel down to you! Okay?”
boom!
The person who begged for mercy was kicked far away and rolled several times on the ground before he stopped.
He was still mumbling painfully: "It can't be like this, it can't be like this..."
“Get out!” A well-dressed strong man stood in front of the gate of the Hou Mansion. He must be a soldier raised in the Hou Mansion. He pointed his halberd at him and said in a fierce voice: “If you make trouble again, I will kill your whole family!”
The voice begging for mercy stopped suddenly. The man on the ground gritted his teeth and endured it for a while, regained his breath, got up and walked away slowly.
Jiang Wang glanced at him from a distance and recognized the person.
At that time, at the birthday banquet in the inner courtyard, when Marquis Wu Gong came to visit suddenly, everyone stood up to greet him. Some guests could not wait to welcome him out, and this person was one of them.
It should be that act that offended the Weining Marquis and ruined whatever had been negotiated earlier.
There is no way to know the specific details, but it seems that for the business firm where this person works, it is a life-threatening matter. But for Weining Houfu, who has a big family and a big business, it may be just like chasing away a wild dog, which is of no consequence.
Of no importance.
Jiang Wang remained silent and stood further into the darkness.
Can we say that the person who was driven away brought it upon himself? Can we say that he was stupid and could not see the situation clearly? In any case, he represents a business with hundreds of people. Among ordinary people, he should be considered to have some wealth. But among the two meritorious princes,
Can he be considered a fart in front of me?
Suddenly hearing the name of Wu Gonghou, how dare he not crawl on the ground to greet him?
Weining Houfu was so persecuted because of this incident.
The strong man who made the threat must be a soldier of Weining Houfu. Jiang Wang could tell that the sentence "Kill your whole family" was not a false threat, but a real murderous intention.
Just look at how frightened the person is, and you will know the persuasiveness of this sentence.
How can a random person from Weining Houfu kill an entire family at will?
From this incident, it can be seen that to Weining Houfu, the laws of Yong State are simply a joke!
A force whose rules cannot be maintained is chaotic, terrifying, and unstable. This is true whether it is a country or a sect.
Jiang Wang then thought about the fact that Feng Yue came to celebrate his birthday with generous gifts and apologize, but was suddenly detained.
Of course, he has no feelings for Feng Yue, nor does he understand his character. But as far as this matter is concerned, Qingyunting, the most powerful sect in Shun'an Prefecture, will be framed if the Weining Marquis says it will be framed.
.They are not even willing to make up a good reason, or to put it in a bad way, and they are not even willing to forge evidence of guilt!
Think about it again in Chiyun Mountain, the secret place of Qingyunting's historical heritage. Jiao Xiong participated when he said he wanted to participate, and became the leader. No matter what happened secretly, at least on the surface, Chi Yue still had to flatter Jiao Xiong in every possible way. Even if Chi Yue
His true strength is obviously stronger than Jiao Xiong!
Qingyunting is not just a cat or a dog. Even a well-known name in Shun'an Mansion has to face such oppression. It is conceivable that other people and other forces will face such oppression.
Weining Hou’s contempt for the laws of Yong Kingdom simply penetrated to his bones.
Just like the Yong Kingdom had just suffered a defeat and had just emerged from the danger of national subjugation, Wei Ninghou’s birthday banquet was so extravagant and extravagant.
This is not to say that the Yong Kingdom lacks this kind of money, nor does it mean that Weining Hou must tighten his belt to live a life, but that in such a difficult situation, as one of the most powerful figures in the Yong Kingdom, shouldn't he
Should we set an example and overcome the difficulties together?
Zhuang Gaoxian, a cool-tempered person, was able to be diligent and frugal. Not a single tile was added to the palace since he succeeded to the throne.
In the final analysis, Jiao Wu is not even willing to do anything to save face.
These various attitudes are by no means overnight. They are habits left over from the past years and are historical shortcomings.
This is not a problem for Jiao Wu alone.
The key to the problem is not why Jiao Wu is like this, but why Jiao Wu can be like this.
At this moment, Jiang Wang, who had witnessed everything, suddenly understood why Han Xu wanted to change the government. Why he initiated such drastic changes just when he came out of the crisis of national subjugation.
It is true that the Yong Kingdom in the past has been extremely corrupt. This country with a long history has been rotten for a long time in the past. Under its flashy surface, its flesh and blood are rotten. As soon as Han Yin took control of the government, the Yong Kingdom
Sliding down that bottomless abyss for a day.
After thinking about this, Jiang Wang suddenly broadened his horizons, and many things that he had not thought clearly suddenly became clear. Looking at the overall trend of Yongzheng's reform, everything had a new explanation.
Jiao Wu's birthday banquet and Mo Jingyu's visit may be regarded as the Yong Kingdom's conservative forces' struggle against Momen. Of course, from the Momen's perspective, it may be another force within Momen that is dissatisfied with Han Xu and is attacking the Yongguo conservative forces.
An invitation was sent.
The sudden visit of Marquis Wugong was to break this connection.
The war has ended, and the liquidation could have been carried out long ago, but Han Xu has been standing still, and it was not until today that the spies of the Jiao Kingdom were discovered.
The confrontation at the birthday banquet was the result of the martial arts lord Xue Mingyi representing Yong Jun Han Xu to force the Weining lord Jiao Wu into the palace. Therefore, Jiao Wu had to make a statement and take a stand. Otherwise, a charge of treason would be inevitable.
he.
Weining Hou’s statement was a cut off from the Momen’s opposition to Han Xu.
Perhaps this was the reason why Mo Jingyu lost interest later. His trip was in vain.
As for the subsequent detention of Feng Yue, Jiao Wu may have vented his anger, or he just continued his previous plan, or... he wanted to make one last profit before the revolution was completely completed.
There is insufficient information obtained from Weining Houfu to make an accurate judgment. But no matter what the reason is, his appetite will be amazing.
Fortunately, Jiang Wang has already had a good relationship with Feng Ming and Chen Qing before. If he is smart enough, he should know what to do.
Even if the person doesn't understand or is reluctant to give up, Jiang Wang has nothing to lose. He is just watching the fire from the other side. Whether it is heroic or tragic is other people's business.
Of course, the better Feng Yue's situation is, the more convenience he will have if he takes this line. So Feng Ming had better be smarter.
The night passed quietly.
At dawn, a huge motorcade came from a distance, swimming slowly like a long snake, gradually approaching Weining Houfu. Just from the deep ruts, you can see how much the carriage carried
thing.
Fengchi was riding a tall horse and was at the forefront of the convoy.
Just after midnight, his condition became much more haggard, with a kind of unconcealable fatigue that should not appear in an extraordinary monk. But probably because he had accomplished something important, his eyes were very bright.
He glanced at Jiang Wang who was on the roadside, checked their eyes, and after confirming that there were no unexpected changes, he dismounted, strode to the plaque of Weining Houfu, and knocked on the door knocker.
His steps are firm and his hands are steady.
Indicates that he has made up his mind.
Guanshi Jiao, who had already received the news, opened the door in time and looked at Feng Chi with some surprise: "What are you?"
Today's Feng Ming bowed deeply, which was completely different from yesterday's angry and arrogant one.
His voice was loud and sincere: "I heard that the spies of the Jiao Kingdom were messing with Wei Ninghou, and the people of Shun'an Mansion hated them deeply! Although Qingyunting is small in power and has little wealth, it also has a patriotic heart. My father, Feng Yue, is
As the guardian of Qingyunting, I have received the favor of the emperor and won the prosperity of my country. I am willing to spend all my wealth to help the marquis to send troops out of the country and pacify our great Yongxi territory!"
I don’t know whether he came up with these words himself or asked someone to polish them. In short, they were impassioned and sincere.
Guanshi Jiao looked at him deeply, and the contempt before was no longer there.
"Master Feng, please wait a moment and let me go and make a call." After saying this, he turned around and returned to the mansion.
"If you save land and lose people, everyone will lose their land. If you save people and lose land, everyone will gain." Many people know the truth, but not everyone has the courage to spend all their wealth.
Just this day, Feng Ming's evaluation in his heart was completely different.
…
Weining Houfu was like a giant beast with a huge mouth, swallowing the entire wealth carried by a lengthy motorcade in one gulp, swallowing the Feng family with their bones and bones, but in the end, only Feng Yue was spit out.
In the past history, under the flashy appearance of the Yong Kingdom, how many such giant beasts were silently eating the flesh and blood of this country? It is impossible for people who stand at the top of this country not to see it, and it is impossible not to be unclear.
Even each of them is deeply involved in it.
But Han Yin didn't care, and Han Xu couldn't bear it.
The Yong Kingdom may be reborn from the ashes, or it may collapse due to illness. No one knows until that moment actually arrives. Perhaps national affairs cannot be measured by simple right and wrong, and perhaps no matter what decision is made, there can be many supports and many
Reason. But perhaps, right and wrong lie in everyone's heart.
It may be simple, but it's not flimsy.
Just thinking about it, you can know how torment Feng Yue must have been that night. The smarter the person, the more torment he had. Life and death were completely in the hands of others. He was detained there, unable to control himself, and could only wait for his fate to come.
That kind of pain can almost drive a person crazy.
But at this moment, Feng Yue, who walked out of the Marquis Mansion, was in high spirits, with a smile on his face. He called Manager Jiao brothers and said goodbye warmly. It seemed that he was just being kindly persuaded by Weining Marquis Mansion, so he stayed as a guest for one night. The wealth he had accumulated for half his life was like a breeze.
side.
This Qi-nurturing Kung Fu alone is worth Feng Ming’s further decades of learning.
The gate of the Hou Mansion slowly closed, and Feng Ming stepped forward to greet his father. Jiang Wang followed silently. Now was the opportunity to occupy the core position around the Feng family and his son. Of course, he would not miss it, but he would not overwhelm the guest.
He came with a full caravan, but left empty-handed. The Feng family’s accumulation over the years was wiped out overnight.
Feng Ming felt sad for a moment and lamented: "We have nothing."
“No, we have everything.”
Feng Yue turned his head and patted Feng Ming's shoulder hard: "Ming'er, I always thought you were ignorant before. Now I realize that it was my father who neglected me. You have grown up a long time ago! You did a good job this time!
Your filial piety is commendable, and your exquisite heart is even more commendable!"
Feng Ming's eyes glanced at Jiang Wang for a moment, but he finally accepted it without saying a word.
