"The head of the family (father)——"
Everyone exclaimed and huffed and gathered around.
A long while.
He finally regained his composure, but his heart was bleeding after suffering hundreds of thousands of losses.
"Master, don't worry. How can you tell that a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise? Although this thing looks bad, it may not be a good thing—"
When Dong Xiangdong saw his old club Yuyou woke up, he hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.
"Good thing?"
Wang Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly, looking at Dong Xiangdong's old face and gently shaking his head.
"Shopkeeper Dong, you don't need to comfort me. I know that this time, it's all my fault. If I hadn't been too greedy, things wouldn't have reached this point. That's almost all the wealth of our Wang family now—"
As he spoke, Wang Yan glanced at several elders in the family one by one, and finally paused slightly on his eldest son Wang Shouyuan, and then moved to Dong Xiangdong's face. .
"Now that these finances are in the hands of the palace man, he will definitely not let them go easily - hundreds of years of savings of the Wang family have been destroyed in one day. Even after my death, I, Wang Yan, will not have the shame to see my ancestors. Where is the good thing..."
"My boss, although we failed to recover the money from those Hu merchants in the Western Regions and did not get the supply of goods, but - in fact, we did not lose money this time, and even from a business perspective, it is still a good thing... "
Dong Xiangdong's words immediately made the heavy atmosphere in the room much better.
Although Dong Xiangdong is not a child of the Wang family, he has a transcendent status in the Wang family and his business skills are obvious to all. And he has always been modest and steady, and will not talk empty words.
“Shopkeeper Dong, how do you say this——”
Wang Shouyuan couldn't help but ask.
"The money has been spent and the goods are there, so we have no losses. In addition, if these Hu merchants from the Western Regions are gone, this business route may be cut off. Therefore, this means that the goods in our hands have become the only inventory at present. ——”
We are all smart people, but the matter was so important that we were in a hurry and didn't think it through. When Dong Xiangdong said this, everyone immediately reacted.
Yes, it seems to be profitable!
Although I failed to get the money back and the caravan, the net profit was not a loss, and it seemed to be a huge profit!
Everyone in the room was visibly relieved.
Wang Yan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. In fact, he quickly figured out this truth, but it was not suitable for him to say it.
If something went wrong, he would shirk responsibility no matter what he said.
Dong Xiangdong said, that’s good——
Thinking of this, a look of guilt appeared on his face.
"Having said that, it's still my fault in the end. It was my lack of thinking and I didn't expect such a mistake-"
"The head of the family does not need to blame himself. The so-called wise man will make mistakes after all his considerations. Besides, we have not made any mistakes either——"
Several clan elders who originally thought about taking the opportunity to launch an attack immediately suppressed the distracting thoughts in their hearts and offered words of comfort one after another. Their words were so enthusiastic that they seemed to have long forgotten the shock and anger they felt when they first heard the news... …
It's fun.
"Despite this, everyone should not relax - Yuan'er, you must cheer up these days, take advantage of the opportunity when various places return to Beijing to report on their work, hold a good colored glaze exhibition, build up the reputation of our Wang family, and also By the way, we can collect some funds, and we can spend money in other places. We can’t put everything on this glass——"
Wang Yan raised his hand, covered his lips, coughed a few times, and took the opportunity to hand over the job to his son.
It’s hard for others to say anything.
After all, it was the family leader who made the acquisition in the first place, and people like himself benefited from it.
A false alarm.
Everyone said goodbye one after another, and before going out, Wang Yan suddenly stopped a thin old man with a slender face.
"Third uncle, the newspaper is very important. Please be considerate. If you have any doubts, you can discuss it with your second uncle -"
The tall, thin old man nodded calmly.
"Don't worry, I will contact those old guys right away and ask them to come up with something real. They can't blindly hide it like we did in the past, weakening the reputation of aristocratic families like us -"
Wang Yan struggled to get up and cupped his hands at him.
"So, everything comes in handy, uncle--"
Now that the situation has changed, if you don't show some real skills, you may really lose your status as an academic leader.
But fortunately, eight families are working on this matter at the same time, so they only need to show their strength, and there is no need to give everything to each other. Otherwise, I am afraid that before we can compete with Datang Evening News, we will have internal problems.
Looking at the room that had returned to cleanness after a while, Wang Yan sat up from the bed and secretly wiped the cold sweat from his head.
False alarm!
Fortunately, everything is under control——
As long as the goods are still in your hands, there is no need to panic.
However, not long after he sighed, he saw his confidant butler walking in hastily.
She came closer and whispered a few words in his ear.
Wang Yan's face suddenly changed color and he cursed fiercely.
“These idiots really succeed more than they succeed!”
He took off his shoes and paced back and forth in the room for a few steps before saying with a cold expression.
"Have our personnel dealt with this matter thoroughly? Although the Feng family has fallen, Feng Li's influence is still there. Our Wang family is a family that has accumulated good deeds. We must not have anything to do with this matter under any circumstances..."
The movements of Wang Zhong's hands could not help but stagnate slightly, but then he lowered his head.
"The villain understands!"
…
At this time, the city foxes and rats in the west city of Chang'an almost put the eighteenth generation of ancestors of people like Guo Sandao and Jin San in dog-skin vests, some men and women, and greeted them eighteen times one by one.
There is no other reason.
Cheng Yao Jinniu Jinniu and the old killers in this group of soldiers were given the job.
The kind that comes in a litter.
This kind of urban fox and social rat is like the rats in the city sewers, and it is impossible to catch them all. Even if you catch this wave, there will be another wave. Therefore, sometimes the government is too lazy to catch them all, and the government officials below know it very well.
When you feel happy, just hit it a few times. Normally, as long as it doesn't cross the line, you just turn a blind eye.
These people are not kind people, so why are they so anxious?
Wouldn’t it be nice to quietly enjoy filial piety to him?
Besides, with these people here, the underground world of West City can maintain a delicate balance. Therefore, people at the bottom cannot afford to offend people, while people at the top are too lazy to deal with them.
Therefore, as long as these people don't seek death and provoke people who cannot be provoked, they can live a peaceful life.
But today, it's very uncomfortable.
The little leaders of various gangs and factions have been arrested!
He was squatting in a mess in a large courtyard, surrounded by servants carrying bright steel knives to protect the courtyard.
At the beginning, there were still a few thorny heads jumping around, but who knew that as soon as they said a few strange words, they were pulled over and had their heads chopped off.
His head was placed on the table, and his face still retained the look of terror when he was about to die.
The strong smell of blood filled the courtyard.
Girls like Cheng Ying'er and Chang Le had naturally avoided it for a long time. Wang Zi'an originally thought that his scalp would be numb and he would not be used to it. However, for some reason, there was a faint sense of excitement in his body, and he was quite eager to try it out. Feel.
He was immediately shocked——
This reaction is so scary.
I am a good young man who has received nine years of compulsory education. When did my psychology become so distorted?
He was reflecting secretly here, and the calm Cheng Yaojin, Niu Jinda, Qin Shubao and others couldn't help exchanging glances in private. Your Majesty actually wants to take the opportunity to kill a few more people, so that this brat can see blood and experience...
Does this damn need to see blood?
That little look in his eyes was even more exciting than those of battlefield veterans like him - well, even more excited!
They are still acting with half-truth and half-false emotions here, but the feeling of those urban foxes and social rats is completely different. Everyone, two sides fighting, instantly lost their voice.
This is for real!
This group of people don’t take the lives of their own group of people seriously at all——
"Don't think that we don't know about the scandalous things you do in private. You people, one by one, one by one, one by one, we will never be able to unjustly accuse you——"
Niu Jinda, dressed in white robes, holding a steel knife, stood on a stool with one leg, looking down at the squatting group of urban foxes and rats.
"Don't play tricks with me. When I was in the world, you guys didn't know where to pick up toads. Now, I'll give you a chance to name Guo Sandao, Jin San and others within three breaths." Whereabouts, otherwise, every three breaths, I will kill one!"
As he said that, he grabbed a man in green clothes and pushed him directly onto the bench. He held a knife in one hand and drank coldly.
"one……"
The man in Tsing Yi who was arrested was so frightened that he peed on the spot.
"Sir, forgive me..."
"two……"
Niu Jinda turned a deaf ear.
In the yard, the fishy smell couldn't help but get a little stronger.
I thought this fat man dressed in white and looking like a rich man was easy to talk to, but who knew he could kill people without blinking an eye!
Is this stance really going to require one blow?
Just now, I was still holding on to a little bit of luck, thinking that it would be impossible to kill everyone like myself, but it disappeared in an instant.
"I have a way-"
Urgency leads to wisdom.
The gangster, who was about to lose his head, couldn't help but yell.
The steel knife in Niu Jinda's hand was about to fall on his neck. He stopped immediately and looked at him coldly without saying anything.
"I have a way to find them!"
After shouting, he saw that the steel knife had indeed stopped. He immediately knew that he had probably made the right bet, and his life was most likely saved, and his mind suddenly became smart again.
"Those young people, although I don't know where the sons of bitches like Guo Sandao are hiding, but when it comes to their familiarity with the West City, these young people are well-connected. To put it bluntly, who's mother-in-law is hiding in the middle of the night? We can't hide the theft from our eyes - instead of killing us, you, old man, let us find it. As long as we take action, even if they hide in the mouse hole, the little ones can be dragged out by you..."
After this guy finished speaking, he looked at Niu Jinda longingly.
The other gangsters also reacted immediately, beating their chests loudly and swearing to catch him back.
"Old Niu, I think this is it. Just give them a chance first. If you can't find anyone, it won't be too late to kill them..."
One has a red face and the other has a white face. Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda have a perfect tacit understanding.
There are more than a hundred people, even if they are all disasters, they can't kill them all.
This is not the time when Zhan Luan was a bandit. If Li Shimin was killed, he wouldn't be able to save them. To be honest, even if he didn't speak later, Cheng Yaojin would have to stand up——
Why didn't you just let them find someone in the first place?
Of course I'm afraid that these bitches won't be able to do their job well.
Each and every one of these is just meat on a hob. If you don’t give them a shock, don’t think they will really go to great lengths.
I'm not afraid of people like them causing trouble.
He immediately let the person out——
"Three hours, if you can't find anyone in three hours, you'd better wipe your necks yourself——"
Niu Jinda roared from behind.
This group of people ran faster than the other as if their buttocks were on fire.
"Hurry up, gather everyone for me, dig three feet into the ground, and catch those sons of bitches Guo Sandao and Jin San, otherwise I will have an easier time than you..."
Soon, the entire underground world of West City was shaken.
Some things are like this. It would be really difficult for the government to search door to door, but if you leave it to them, it will be much more efficient. Guo Sandao, Jin San and others thought they were well hidden, but many people could see him running over.
Normally no one dares to talk, but it's different now.
If I don’t talk too much, I’m afraid I’ll never be able to open my mouth again——
Following the clues, he quickly locked the three of them's targets and took the stolen goods all by himself.
Because they were old acquaintances, they didn't even have time to take hostages. They were kicked to the ground on the spot by a guy who used to bow and bow when he saw them. Then, a group of people came in and held them down.
After handing the child over to Mrs. Feng, Wang Zi'an returned to the courtyard.
He stretched out his hand to stop Kong Yingda and Lu Deming who were about to turn to leave, and winked at Cheng Yaojin and others.
"Since we have met, why don't you go to the Yamen with your juniors? Come back to where I am, and I will cook in person to celebrate everyone -"
At the thought of being able to eat food cooked by Wang Zi'an again, everyone couldn't help but subconsciously twitch their Adam's apple.
"Let's go and take a look. If you don't see these beasts brought to justice, I won't understand what I'm thinking!"
Kong Yingda looked upright, and Lu Deming was also filled with indignation.
Cheng Yaojin, Niu Jinda and others, not to mention, were naturally happy to go.
…
Wannian County, county government.
Classmate Gao Ting was holding a tea cup and gloating about his misfortune.
"Fortunately, this kind of thing didn't happen in our Wannian County, otherwise it would have been very bad luck - Speaking of which, Su Tong is also very unlucky, and something like this happened today, just wait and see, Cheng Yaojin and Wang Zi’an, these idiots, don’t have a fuel-efficient lamp. If they don’t handle it well today, they might get beaten up——”
Before he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of some wonderful scene, so he held the tea cup and laughed softly.
"That's great. In this way, the two of us are just like the eldest brother and not the second brother. We don't have to mention embarrassing things about me when we meet..."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, his servant rushed in crawling.
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. Cheng Yaojin, Niu Jinda, Qin Shubao, and that Wang Zi'an are here again - bringing many people with them..."
The smile on Gao Ting's face suddenly froze.
