The young leader of the Zhang family moved very quickly, as if he had just grasped the control of the family for the first time. There was no pause at all. The sound of clear water flowed and he continued smoothly.
During the period when Jiang Baigui was previously suppressing the situation, the advantages and disadvantages of the three families were all forced by the situation. All the money was used by Jiang Baigui. The money was left aside and used for the three families to extend their influence outside Shanlan City. More than half of the three families' powerful people, more or less. There is some contempt for this young man who has very weak background and can be said to be working alone. Therefore, he has not handed over the money for a long time, and a considerable amount of money has disappeared. No need to think too much, most of them are just corrupted by others.
Now, after receiving the order from the head of the family, the young master of the Zhang family convened high-ranking officials from the three families to discuss matters on his father's behalf. He tried his best to overcome all opinions, and even relied on his words to persuade most of the discussants to withdraw half of the money originally used to expand his power. Take advantage of the urgent need in Shanlan City. The word "foundation" is very important to anyone. What's more, if all the craftsmen in the city turn to Jiang Baigui, the three families will no longer have any stamina. Since they no longer have a foundation, how can they talk about extending their power? It's better to deal with it first. The menacing Jiang Baekyu needs to make plans.
It is true that for many years, the three families have been mostly pampered people, but how to calculate the accounts has been imprinted in the bones of the three families to maintain survival. Even Jiang Baigui seems to be the weakest and the easiest to deal with, but the two By this time, Fang Li could clearly see that the dormant young man was not a tiny green snake in a muddy pond, but a huge python that could run like the wind on both land and water. So they all restrained their contempt and focused their attention on this small businessman who could intimidate three fundamental companies.
On the way, I was surprised to realize that this young man's connections were truly extraordinary.
Often those who have some agenda are quite easy to deal with, especially those who only seek personal gain. Just a few moves can get twice the result with half the effort, but Jiang Baigui is obviously not one of them. Instead, he has no desire and no desire, and all his moves are aimed at the vital points.
But when many people woke up from a dream, they realized that this businessman, who had no backbone and only knew how to compromise, had unknowingly prepared such a life-or-death chess game for the three families. He arrogantly dragged all the people named Zhang, Wang and Li onto the chessboard.
For this reason, many high-ranking people from the three families who had been accustomed to using their power to bully others, despite being unfamiliar with calculations for many years, finally woke up from a dream after the young master of the Zhang family sternly reminded them, always feeling quite scared.
Horse thieves and bandits who have always cut trails and robberies are quite rare in the north. Not only because of the cold weather in the north, but also because most of the merchants in the north travel in groups and have guards, so it is quite difficult to succeed, but after all, they are still not there yet. Among the notorious thieves, those who are greedy for money or those who are looking for opportunities to blackmail are not terrifying, but those who are simply thirsty for blood are the most difficult to deal with.
There is no doubt that Jiang Baigui is one of those people who does not seek wealth or power. He does all kinds of things just to collapse the three families and change the future.
Therefore, although many people were belatedly aware of his unconcealed thoughts, it took only a few days for the young master of the Zhang family to re-arrange the dense cobwebs in the city with the order of the head of the family. Then you get something.
"That's probably the one who's leaving. Previously, Jiang Baigui lived in seclusion and was so elegant.
Inside the tavern, I heard people say that there are tunnels extending in all directions. With this hiding place, I actually blocked a few temporary warriors. However, in the past few days, Jiang Baigui, who has always been as timid as a mouse, has never been in the secret tavern. Instead of going out to drink and sleep peacefully, perhaps the man who carried the sword and left the city was Jiang Baigui's support. "
The young master of the Zhang family has been operating in Shanlan City for many years. Although he has never been passed down as the head of the family, he still has his own connections to manage it. Now this man with a stooped body and unable to straighten his back is very respected, and he is involved in both big and small matters. He was often brought for discussion, but because of his humble background, half of his spine was broken due to horse theft in his early years, and there was no way to treat him. He had to live by this appearance, and everyone nodded and bowed.
The young master pondered, then turned his gaze to the invisible tall building and closed his eyes slightly.
The assassination of Jiang Baigui was considered to be the original idea of Zhang Wang and Li Sanjia. It was to solve the problem once and for all, and it was the most fundamental solution. As long as this person dies, all worries will be eliminated, and it is quite easy. It is just that he is afraid of the spiritual path behind him. The master has been unable to take action for a long time. He only attacked and killed a few people in the city, but could not cure the root cause at all. But if he attacks frequently, he will be forced to
If public anger arises, it will become more difficult.
"You know my master's thoughts. You must know that the Zhang family is not big, but it is the first step to reach the clouds. However, the current head of the Zhang family is young and prosperous. Time waits for no one, which often makes people sigh."
The man whose methods were unpredictable and had treacherous thoughts raised his head. He was stunned for a moment, and then lowered his head again. But he didn't know whether it was because he couldn't straighten his back or because he was afraid of this young master's thoughts. He stood up respectfully.
body.
"Young Master's plan is known to me, but if everything is done too hastily, it will inevitably lead to unintended consequences. If Young Master can calmly plan his plans slowly, even if the Zhang family has many heirs, the position of head of the family will still be the Young Master's. At such an age, with such skill and skill, the city will be more prosperous." He acted vigorously and resolutely, I think the master of the house is also deeply relieved, he will not have any thoughts."
"Jin Shiquan, when your bones were broken and you were thrown to the north of the city, I, out of kindness, spared your life and followed you. But now, I will definitely not spare your life. "
After saying these very sudden words, Jin Shiquan immediately lowered his head even further, knelt down with difficulty, and couldn't help but kowtow to express gratitude.
Based on the status of the two of them, if Jin Shiquan didn't have other uses, Jin Shiquan would probably die if he faced the Zhang family son who was moody and vicious.
But the young master of the Zhang family suddenly laughed, helped Jin Shiquan up, and let him sit back down safely, "I want to try, how do you remember? Do you still remember the chariot my mother took when she went out?" scene?"
Jin Shiquan was naturally full of words. He said that the wife of the house was riding in several carriages and covered with silk umbrellas. There were dozens of maids accompanying them. They were waiting along the way. The villain was afraid of staining his grace and did not dare to look up. After silently counting the footsteps, I could roughly estimate the number.
"Yes, but now there are only two or three maids, the carriage tent has no umbrella cover, and the clothes they wear are still items purchased many years ago."
The young master still had a smile on his face, but the smile was very cold.
"Perhaps the Zhang family wants to extend its power elsewhere, so money has been a little tighter in recent years.
, which is probably the right path. "Jin Shiquan still didn't dare to raise his head and responded in a low voice.
But when it came to this, both of them knew very well what the young master of the Zhang family was talking about. Since the Zhang family entered the Zhang family, it is no wonder that the principal family has made all the prosperity and wealth possible. However, over the years, there seem to have been some slight changes. Although there have been gradual increases and decreases, the scene of their clothing, food, housing and transportation is far less than what it was back then. The Zhang family has twelve side rooms alone. Especially two years ago, the head of the Zhang family took in concubines and entertained guests, which cost countless money. It is said that the head of the Zhang family has newly married a side room, and his appearance is swaying when he walks. The entire Northern Territory has a queue of seats, and the head of the Zhang family stays at this woman's residence almost every night. He even stays up all night without feeling tired, almost neglecting household chores.
And the woman who was already exhausted of extravagance, has become even more pampered since she got a happy pulse a year ago. In the bathing season alone, she needs morning dew in spring, rootless rain in summer, fresh frost in autumn, and picking in winter. Floating snow is used to warm the body and muscles. Even children who have just been born are almost regarded as jewels in the palm of the head of the Zhang family.
What's more, the child born of a woman is a boy.
One day later, a man dressed in black came into the city. He seemed to be unaccustomed to it. It was a rare clear sky in winter. This man who entered the city without anyone stopping him with a knife hanging almost put his black clothes on his head and used In order to block the sun, I chose the most simple and dark inn to stay, staying day and night.
Jiang Baigui, who was in Yaoyao Inn, seemed to have taken it lightly because of Yun Zhong's visit, or was planning to pretend that Yun Zhong had not left the city yet. He had not gone to the secret passage recently, and his whereabouts were very stable.
, just because some martial arts masters were recruited from outside the city with money, there was not much preparedness for the moment, and it was rare to sit outside the inn under the moonlight.
It was these two seemingly unrelated trivial matters that almost changed the future structure of Shanlan City.
"When will we see the bright moon? The city will be full of salt and rice in winter." Jiang Baigui, who had drank three glasses and two glasses, sat downstairs in the inn. He was still dressed quite warmly and put a jar of unopened old wine on the table. Pour slowly and drink, there are many strangers around, sitting in the same place in disorder, not drinking, but putting packages
The weapon is placed on the table.
Often people in the world cannot communicate with each other. There are often millions of ways to achieve one thing, and no one is necessarily smarter than the other. There is no difference between the foolish method and the seemingly exquisite method. The difference is that the so-called "one thing is accomplished" is just a fleeting thing. It is up to people to plan things and to make things happen. Although Jiang Baigui knows this truth, he still laughs at himself, saying that it is inevitable for people in the world to be vulgar. On the contrary, when he is drinking indifferently like this, he has been doing it recently. It's really becoming increasingly rare.
Just to express this kind of gratitude, I still need to offer Yunzhong so that I can burn two sticks of incense.
The wind is strong in the city. Whether it is a carved jade bed, an emerald screen, an ordinary bran pillow, or an old bed, if the windows are wide open, the setting sun will bring a chill to your bones.
It seems that when life is about to end, the judge pulls up the iron rope and leads people into the underworld to convict and award rewards. People have to be the same. Whether they are high-ranking officials or beggars in the market, they all come with empty hands. And go, even if you are infinitely wealthy, you will still inevitably shrink into a human being under the strong north wind in winter.
Shadow, nothing more.
There is no trace of the wine jar on the ground. The moon is beside the clouds and the cold winter weather makes people's hearts feel deserted.
