"Haha, this kid is in a hurry!"
In the dark alleyway, there was a man who was completely covered in a robe and could only tell from his voice that he was not very old. He was crossing his arms and sneering at the two groups in front of him who were at war with each other.
"First you provoke the Gao family, then you provoke the Jiao family, and now the Chen family is here? Do you think this kid looks like a headless fly? He is running into walls everywhere?"
"Hehe, welcome, Sir!"
Next to the young man in black robe, a middle-aged man with a mustache and a somewhat cunning look on his face heard this. He also twirled his mustache and said with a proud smile: "This kid probably wants to make us, the Eight Prefectures of Lingnan, a fool." ! Don’t you know that he himself is the real fool? Do you really think that just because you are a small county magistrate, you can run amok?
Don’t even look at how many years our Lingnan Eight Prefectures have been in Guangzhou! According to my opinion, before long, this kid will have to run away in despair like the previous ones! "
"Hey, this guy can make such a big name in Chang'an and Jiangnan. He is not an ordinary person. We still need to treat him with caution! Have you sent people to check the ships on the dock?"
"Look! Don't worry, young master! We've arranged for someone to check it out! Only two people from those boats have disembarked today! After they got off the boat, they went to the city to have a sip of tea, but were deceived by the teahouse owner who cheated them out of a small amount of money. Back on the ship!”
"Only two people came down? Keep an eye on them! If they come into contact with other people, please notify me as soon as possible! Also, do you know how many people there are on those ships?"
"Sir, there can't be more than a hundred people on those boats! Although our people can't get on the boats, based on the draft of the boats and the supply of water and food, it can be inferred that there can't be more than a hundred people on the boats at most!"
"No more than a hundred people? That's just an empty ship... Why did he bring a few empty ships? Is it because he wants to leave immediately by boat if something goes wrong?"
Perhaps the answer was beyond his expectation. The young man frowned slightly and subconsciously looked in the direction of the dock with his narrow eyes. However, this was the city. No matter how good his eyesight was, he would not be able to see through the many obstacles and see the sea far away. pier, not to mention the few large ships moored quietly on the water.
"No matter what he does with the boat!" The middle-aged man with the mustache did not think as much as the young man thought. He just chuckled, then approached the young man's ear and whispered: "Master, if you really don't want to see this kid, I will Go and quietly kill the second son of the Lin family who was captured by him! In that case, the old guy of the Lin family who protects the calf will definitely go crazy! When he reaches Guangzhou, won’t that kid run away quickly? Besides, if he dies, Isn’t that cheap daughter of the Qin family..."
"This...can't be done!"
After listening to the middle-aged man's words, the young man was obviously a little moved, but after he weighed the gains and losses in his mind, he finally shook his head and said: "Although that old guy in Jiaofu has a bad temper and a tough temper, he is very thoughtful and is definitely not something ordinary people can do. Than! Such a simple frame-up will definitely not escape his eyes! When the time comes, the old man will really go crazy, who can withstand it? Not to mention the young master and I, even Feng An will have to take a back seat! This plan will not work! "
"Then, forget it!" The middle-aged man must have thought of the legendary old man's arrogance. He shrank his neck slightly, sighed in disappointment and then continued: "By the way, speaking of the Feng family! Young Master, what do you think of him? What on earth are you trying to do? With Feng An’s temper, can he just let that young boy run amok in the city?”
"Well... I guess they must have reached some kind of agreement with the person named Xiao, but I don't know what the agreement is!" The young man hesitated this time and slowly expressed his guess.
"Agreement! Will the Feng family have an agreement with this boy?" The middle-aged man was surprised and said in disbelief: "What benefits can this boy give to the Feng family to make the Feng family turn a blind eye to this? Don't forget, he The Feng family is also one of the eight Lingnan mansions, and it is the largest one!"
"Maybe, it's not necessarily a benefit!" The young man's eyes flickered a few times, and finally he let out a sigh of relief and said to the middle-aged man: "Remember, the Feng family is unreliable now! Other families are also unreliable! Today's It’s time for the eight Lingnan Prefectures to no longer compete on the surface, but in reality, both prosper and suffer losses! We must not only be careful of Chang’an, but also be careful of these so-called allies! The most deadly thing is to be stabbed from behind with a knife! "
"Hey, Young Master is right!" The middle-aged man's eyes changed, then he cupped his hands and sighed.
He has been here in Lingnan for so many years, and he has also deeply felt these changes in the young population!
Back in the late Sui Dynasty, when the heroes were vying for the throne and the world was in chaos, it was also the time when these Lingnan clans were the most united!
It was this kind of unity that allowed them to resist the rebels outside and suppress the rebellious people at home, allowing Lingnan to survive the darkest moment safely!
However, everyone in the world has a problem, that is, we can share hardships together, but we cannot share wealth and honor!
When the world was at peace and the old emperor Li Yuan came to power, in order to appease the big Lingnan clans like them, he divided the merits among them.
Because of various reasons such as fiefdom, power, wealth, etc., cracks had secretly appeared in their large clans. Until the new emperor Li Shimin came to the throne, this crack had become particularly obvious.
Therefore, when the Qin Mansion was later split up, other companies not only did not take action, but instead just watched the excitement with their hands folded! Some even interfered with it and secretly took a share of the pie.
This move is undoubtedly extremely stupid in the eyes of young people!
As the saying goes, if there is a car in front of you, there is a rut in the back!
They treated the Qin government like this today. When it is their turn later, how will others treat them?
But unfortunately, the young man saw through everything, but could do nothing! I can only watch the Qin Mansion being split up! Watching those who got the advantage secretly rejoiced.
Because when everyone is blinded by wealth and interests, the only sober person becomes the biggest heretic!
"Feng Ang! The reason why Lingnan has reached this point is because of your stupidity and inaction, which has made it what it is now! Even a small Wuhou dared to show off his power here! Provocation! You and I!"
I don't know when, the young man's fists were clenched tightly, his nails dug into his flesh, and a few drops of bright red blood quietly seeped out from between his fingers, dripping drop by drop on the stone road under his feet.
What if, let him sit where Feng Ang is now! The young people feel that the land of Lingnan has long been restored to its former heyday during the Southern Han Dynasty. Even the Northern Expedition to Chang'an, to become the master of the world, is not a bad idea!
