In the prosperous Xuyang City, Liu Bancheng took Wang Qiang to Xu Yangling's mansion three times, trying to solve a big trouble for Wang Qiang.
This may seem like an ordinary business dispute, but there is a deeper political struggle hidden behind it.
For the first time, Liu Bancheng came to Xu Yangling's mansion with a heavy gift, but was turned away by the housekeeper at the door because Xu Yangling and Zhou Dabiao were not there.
Liu Bancheng intuitively understood that this matter was not simple, and Zhou Dabiao was clearly avoiding it.
The second time, Liu Bancheng tried to intercept Zhou Dabiao on his way home, but still failed. Zhou Dabiao turned a blind eye to Liu Bancheng's request, and his indifferent attitude made him feel chilled.
The third time, Wang Qiang overheard the old man in the east wing saying, you'd better go alone, it might be better. Not to mention, Wang Qiang took the opportunity to leave the ancestral hall and came to Xu Yangling's Mansion. After taking care of the elderly housekeeper, he finally got the opportunity to meet Zhou Dabiao.
Zhou Dabiao was sitting in the study, his face gloomy. He listened to Wang Qiang's request with a cunning light in his eyes.
He seemed to be considering it, but in fact he was testing Wang Qiang's bottom line.
Finally, he spoke: "Five hundred million taels of silver is not a small amount!"
Wang Qiang's heart tightened. He knew that this negotiation was far from over.
He was silent for a moment and took a deep breath: "How about I share these 500 million taels of silver with you."
A trace of surprise flashed in Zhou Dabiao's eyes. He didn't expect Wang Qiang to be so generous.
He was silent for a moment, and then nodded: "Okay, I will consider it." There was a hint of subtle cunning in his tone.
This negotiation finally has a preliminary result. But Wang Qiang knew that this was just the beginning. He must ensure that his own interests are protected to the maximum extent possible. And Zhou Dabiao also understood that he needed to find a suitable way to deal with this seemingly intractable problem.
In the following days, Wang Qiang kept paying attention to Zhou Dabiao's movements.
He knew that this contest had just begun...
For the fourth time, Zhou Dabiao said bluntly,
"Well, you come next week. Next week I will ask Ji County to arrange this work and let them conduct an inventory and accounting of all the construction projects. I will give you a satisfactory answer."
Wang Qiang had a good sleep that night. He trimmed his beard, put on a new coat, and specially invited some of his buddies who he often contacted in Xu Yangcheng to have a drink. After all, the big problem weighing on his mind will soon be solved.
But Liu Bancheng hadn't slept well these days, and he wasn't interested in attending Wang Qiang's party.
He didn't understand and couldn't figure out why Xu Yangling only saw Wang Qiang but didn't see him and always hid. This meant there must be a reason.
Half a year after Wang Qiang returned to Yan Kingdom, he finally received a letter from Xu Yang's order Zhou Dabiao, asking Wang Qiang to come to Xu Yang City.
Wang Qiang already knew through Liu Bancheng that Zhou Dabiao was the uncle of the Liang family.
I knew there was no hope in this area, so during the six months at home, I raised money everywhere to pay off my debts, and even got seriously ill during this period.
But in order to complete this matter smoothly, I still brought a car full of valuable gifts to the door.
Now, he was sitting in front of Mr. Zhou again, looking completely lifeless.
Mr. Zhou said, "Since you mentioned this matter in the first year, I have assigned this work overnight.
In this way, the construction company and the supervision unit carried out their work separately. However, when Jicheng County Government calculated the amount of construction, it was found that only a small part of the money was used for urban construction, and the rest was missing. Moreover, most of the projects launched are shoddy projects that still need to be reworked, and the overall project cannot be settled. Therefore, it is impossible to give you this money now. Still have to wait. "
Wang Qiang's originally pale face suddenly turned red. He rushed to Mr. Zhou, knocked on his table and said, "You guys, you are so shameless. Do you know the 500 million yuan? This is 500 million yuan. Who can do this?" I can get 500 million, this is all the wealth that our guys have saved and saved!"
After saying that, he suddenly changed his tone and suddenly knelt down in front of Mr. Zhou.
"My lord, I beg you. Just do it. I returned to Yan State and didn't stop for a moment. All my business partners in Yan State's capital city have to withdraw their ladders, and the original business can no longer continue. People come to me all day long to ask for debts, do you know that this will kill people?"
Mr. Zhou looked at the mountains of gifts that Mr. Men had brought in, patiently helped Wang Qiang up and said,
"Don't worry, Boss Wang, the problem will be solved. Your business is my business. You don't have to go back to Yan Kingdom now. You just wait at Hall Master Liu. I will give you a letter tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Wang Qiang burst into tears when he saw Master Xu Yangzhou's promise, and he kowtowed three times.
But after waiting for a few days, there was no sound. After waiting for a few more days, there was still no news.
Liu Bancheng and Wang Qiang came to Mr. Zhou's house together. The old man who looked after the door accepted Wang Qiang's little suggestion and said,
"Master Zhou is very busy recently. The court always has something to discuss with you. Don't worry. I will inform you at the ancestral hall as soon as you have time!"
After that, the old man still used the same words as usual. After receiving the small gift, he either said that he was going to the court to do business, or he was on business in a neighboring country, or he was resting, or he just went out to eat. Anyway, he couldn't see his face. .
Wang Qiang sat on the curb and cried very sadly.
Liu Bancheng consoled him and said,
"I am the one who pulled the strings for you in this matter. I will definitely help you to the end. Okay, let's not look for Mr. Zhou anymore. The things you took care of will be treated as dog food. Let's report it through formal channels."
Wang Qiang, who was in his fifties or sixties, had runny nose and tears. He sighed up to the sky and wiped away his tears.
Liu Bancheng ordered some dishes for Wang Qiang in a small shop.
Wang Qiang drank three bowls of wine and said, "I'm going to sue them. If I don't sue these grandsons, I swear I won't be a human being!"
At this critical moment, five months have passed in the blink of an eye.
During these five months, although Wang Qiang did not return to Phoenix City in Yan State, more and more key employees of his company resigned, and all his businesses have formed a downward trend.
Liu Bancheng understood that currently, from Wang Ming in Jicheng to Mr. Zhou in Xuyang, they all use the concepts of time and space to solve problems. To put it bluntly, they are dragging people to death. They are so young. The young man turns into an old man, and his black hair can be turned into white hair. Resentments are increasing and conflicts are getting more and more intensified.
Master Yao also knew about this matter. Young Master Yao came to comfort Wang Qiang, and Mei Hua also came to ask what happened. As time went by, for some unknown reason, the streets and alleys of Xu Yangcheng were talking about this matter, and some storytellers even made it into a joke. , attracting passers-by to watch and listen.
There are a few lines that Liu Bancheng finds wonderful,
Press the gourd and raise the gourd,
Five hundred million silver dollars are wasted.
It's dark and the city is busy,
The land is double yellow and happy.
After everyone dispersed, Liu Bancheng stepped forward and asked the storyteller,
"Master, what does the double yellow land mean?"
The old man's charlatanism became even stronger, "A woman with two husbands, do you understand?"
Liu Bancheng shook his head.
"Child, figure it out for yourself!"
Three years have passed in the blink of an eye,
Liu Bancheng took Wang Qiang to visit the yamen related to this matter. Because of this issue, it involves petitions in Jicheng, education, food safety, urban infrastructure construction, land use, etc., these yamen All the officials also admitted their accounts and signed the petitions.
Finally, the golden lock was found. Through the golden lock, King Liang Mu, Queen Mother Renxian, and Mrs. Jingxue were found. In the end, Prime Minister He Xuan even signed on it. He believed that investigation and evidence collection must be carried out, and investors should be given justice. An investigation would be launched immediately. .
Even an investment incident alarmed a high-ranking official like Liang Guo. There were court documents and such important figures signed their opinions respectively, urging Jicheng to respond immediately. The old man in the ancestral hall shook his head when he saw the dense signatures on the complaint. , "It's also rare."
