"We agreed beforehand, we made it clear. There are hundreds of people in the trading company waiting for their lives! How can we forget about it!"
"How can the Hou Mansion convince the public by changing orders like this day and night?"
"You are bullying people like this, does Marquis 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 for you! Okay?"
boom!
The person who begged for mercy was kicked far away and rolled several times on the ground before stopping.
He was still mumbling painfully: "It can't be like this, it can't be like this..."
"Get out!" A strong man dressed up in front of the Hou Mansion stood in front of the house. 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 begging for mercy stopped abruptly. 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 Wugong suddenly came to visit, everyone stood up to greet him. Some guests could not wait to greet him, and this person was one of them.
It was probably that behavior 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 it is a life-threatening matter for the business firm where this person works. But for Weining Houfu, who has a big family and a big business, it may just be like driving away a wild dog, which is insignificant and insignificant.
Jiang Wang remained silent and stood further into the dark night.
Can we say that the person who was driven away brought it upon himself? Can you say that he is stupid and cannot see the situation clearly? No matter how you put it, he represents a business firm with hundreds of people. Among ordinary people, he should be considered to have some wealth. But in front of two meritorious princes, can he be regarded as nothing?
When he suddenly heard the name of the Marquis of Martial Arts, how dare he not crawl on the ground to greet him?
Weining Houfu was so persecuted because of this matter.
The strong man who made the threat should be a soldier of Weining Houfu. Jiang Wang could tell that the sentence "Kill your whole family" was not an empty threat, but a real murderous intention.
Just look at how frightened the person is to understand the persuasiveness of this sentence.
A random person from the Weining Marquis Mansion can 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 are not maintained is chaotic, terrifying, and unstable. This is true regardless of country or 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 destroyed as soon as Weining Houfu said it would. They don't even want to make up a good reason, or even make up some ugly evidence, and they don't even want to forge evidence of guilt!
Thinking again about Chiyun Mountain, the secret place of Qingyunting’s historical inheritance, Jiao Xiong participated as he said 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 though Chi Yue's true strength is clearly 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 are the same.
Marquis Weining's contempt for the laws of Yong Kingdom 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.
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 lead by example and overcome the difficulties together?
A cool and humble person like Zhuang Gaoxian was able to be diligent and thrifty. Not a single tile was added to the palace since he succeeded to the throne.
After all, Jiao Wu didn't even want to do anything to save face.
These are by no means overnight attitudes. 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 was there such a drastic change just after emerging from the crisis of national subjugation?
It is true that the Yong Kingdom in the past was extremely corrupt. This country with a long history has been rotting for a long time in the past. Under its flashy surface, its flesh and blood are rotten. As long as Han Yin controlled the government, the Yong Kingdom fell into the bottomless abyss.
After thinking about this, Jiang Wang suddenly broadened his horizons, and many things that he had not been able to figure out suddenly became clear to him. Judging from the overall general trend of Yongzheng's reform, everything has a new explanation.
Jiao Wu's birthday banquet and Mo Jingyu's visit may be regarded as the Yong Kingdom's conservative forces' struggle for 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. Invitations were sent.
The sudden visit of Wugong Hou was to break this connection.
The war is over, 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. It was the martial arts lord Xue Mingyi who forced the Weining lord Jiao Wu into the palace on behalf of Yong Jun Han Xu. Therefore, Jiao Wu had to make a statement and take a clear stand. If not, he may be charged with treason.
Marquis Weining'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 on. His trip was in vain.
As for detaining Feng Yue later, Jiao Wu might have done it to vent his anger, or he might just have continued his previous plan, or maybe... he wanted to make one last profit before the revolution was completely completed.
There is insufficient information obtained from the Weining Marquis to make an accurate judgment. But whatever the reason, his appetite is prodigious.
Fortunately, Jiang Wang had already had a good relationship with Feng Ming and Chen Qing before. If he was 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. Just watching the fire from the other side. Whether it is heroic or tragic is other people's business.
Of course, the better off Feng Yue 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, slowly swimming like a long snake, gradually approaching Weining Houfu. Just from the extremely deep ruts, you can see how much stuff was carried in the carriage.
Feng Chi was riding a tall horse and was at the forefront of the motorcade.
Just after midnight, his condition became much more haggard, with a kind of exhaustion that should not appear in an extraordinary monk and could not be concealed. But Yue's eyes were very bright because he had accomplished something important.
He glanced at Jiang Wang who was on the roadside, looked at each other, 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 sure and his hands are steady.
It shows that he has made up his mind.
Manager Jiao, who had already received the news, opened the door in time and looked at Feng Chi in surprise: "What are you doing?"
Today's Feng Ming bowed deeply, completely different from the angry and proud man yesterday.
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 The Sectkeeper of Qingyunting has received the favor of the emperor and won the country's prosperity. 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 if he thought of these words himself or asked someone to polish them. In short, they were impassioned and sincere.
Manager Jiao looked at him deeply, and the contempt before was gone.
"Master Feng, please wait a moment and let me pass the message." After saying this, he turned around and returned to the mansion.
"If you save land and lose people, everyone will lose. Save people and lose land, and everyone will gain." Many people know the truth, but not everyone has the courage to spend all their wealth.
Just today, Feng Ming's evaluation in his heart was completely different.
…
The Marquis of Weining was like a giant beast with a huge mouth. It swallowed the wealth carried by the entire long 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 Yong Kingdom, how many such giant beasts were silently gnawing at 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 not to be unclear about it. Even each of them is deeply involved.
But Han Yin didn't care, and Han Xu couldn't bear it.
The Yong Kingdom may rise from the ashes, or it may collapse due to illness. No one knows until that moment actually arrives. Perhaps national events cannot be measured by simple right or wrong. Perhaps no matter what decision is made, there can be many supports and many reasons. But perhaps, right and wrong lie in everyone's heart.
It may be simple, but it's not flimsy.
Just think about it and you will know how torment Feng Yue must have been that night. The smarter the person, the more suffering he will suffer. Life and death are completely in human hands, and he is trapped in it, unable to control himself, and can only wait for his fate to come.
The kind of pain can almost drive a person crazy.
But at this moment, Feng Yue, who walked out of the Hou Mansion, was in high spirits and smiling. He called Guanshi Jiao brothers and said goodbye warmly. It seems that he was just invited to stay by the Weining Marquis Mansion, so he stayed as a guest for one night. The wealth he accumulated over half his life was like a breeze passing by.
This Qi-nurturing Kung Fu alone is worth Feng Ming learning for decades more.
The door 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 him.
I arrived with a full motorcade and left empty-handed. The Feng family's many years of accumulation were 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 in the end he accepted it without saying a word.
"This is the duty of the Son of Man!" he said.
