Chapter 411: Don't give face
"Mom, are you here for something?" Jiang Feng returned safely, Shui Qingqian wanted to stay with Jiang Feng for a while, she had a lot to say to Jiang Feng, and she also wanted to ask Jiang Feng what he had been through these days, and she was a little unhappy when she saw Shui Baimei come in, but she could see that Shui Baimei's face was not quite right, as if something big had happened, so she was concerned about it.
"I'm fine, but something big happened outside, Qingqian, you must listen to my advice this time, and without my permission, you must not leave the Shui family without permission. Shui Baimei pulled Shui Qingqian's arm and said solemnly.
When she said this, Shui Baimei did not look at Shui Qingqian, but kept looking at Jiang Feng, seeing what she meant, not so much that she would not let Shui Baimei leave the Shui family for half a step, but that she was reminding Shui Qingqian not to be abducted by Jiang Feng.
"What's so strict? Shui Qingqian was a little unhappy, thinking that Shui Baimei was too much, and she was not a three-year-old child. And Shui Baimei has said many times that she should stay away from Jiang Feng, she subconsciously thinks that Shui Baimei is alarmist, in order to destroy her relationship with Jiang Feng.
"Qingqian, there are some things that I can't tell you clearly, anyway, you just listen to me, will I still hurt you?" Shui Baimei said in a deep voice.
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Xu family, the Dai family, and the Qiao family that have an accident, right?" Jiang Feng, who had not spoken, spoke.
"How do you know?" Shui Baimei was startled, she had just received the news, so she came to Shui Qingqian for the first time, and warned Shui Qingqian, lest something happen to Shui Qingqian, but she didn't expect Jiang Feng to mention it directly.
Seeing this, Shui Qingqian hurriedly added: "Mom, Jiang Feng was still asking me this question just now, is there really an accident?
Shui Baimei didn't answer Shui Qingqian's answer, she looked at Jiang Feng with a strange expression, and asked, "Did you guess?" Or did you already receive the news?"
"If I say that it is the old man Guo who personally sued me, and it is the people of the Guo family who did it, their purpose is not only to deal with the three families of the Xu family, but to plot against the entire twelve families, do you believe it?" Jiang Feng said with a smile.
Shui Baimei frowned, and said unhappily: "Jiang Feng, are you joking with me? I tell you seriously, this joke is not funny at all." β
Jiang Feng smiled and said casually: "Since you think I'm joking, then I'm joking." β
and people like Shui Baimei, he is too lazy to explain anything, Shui Baimei loves to believe it or not.
Shui Baimei heard him say such a thing, naturally felt that Jiang Feng was deliberately pretending to be deep, in her opinion, the Guo family and Jiang Feng were endless, according to Jiang Feng, Guo Lao told him the biggest secret of the Guo family, could it be that Guo Lao's head was kicked by a donkey?
Shui Baimei no longer paid attention to Jiang Feng, and said a few words to Shui Qingqian in a serious tone, and finally released cruel words, if Shui Qingqian dared not listen to her, she would break Shui Qingqian's legs, and then left in a hurry.
Shui Baimei left, Shui Qingqian took Jiang Feng's hand, and said worriedly: "Jiang Feng, is it really the people of the Guo family who did it, why did they do this?"
"Do you believe me?" Jiang Feng asked with a smile.
Shui Qingqian nodded vigorously, and said completely unprincipled: "I believe it, I believe everything you say." β
Jiang Feng also left the Shui family quickly, and he didn't leave because he was worried that Shui Baimei would sell him to the Guo family, unless Shui Baimei's head was really kicked by a donkey.
Jiang Feng left, mainly to find Ziling, now, what Guo Lao said has been completely fulfilled, with his relationship that is not embarrassing or embarrassing, even Shui Baimei does not believe it, Jiang Feng will naturally not be naΓ―ve enough to think that he can lobby other families to deal with the Guo family together.
The Zi family was destroyed, Ziling was the only survivor, and it was very likely that she was the only eyewitness, and she had to come forward to testify in person to be able to form a certain degree of persuasion.
But naturally, it is not enough to bring down the Guo family with Ziling's evidence alone, what Jiang Feng has to do is to use Ziling to create a rift between the other families and the Guo family, at least when he wants to deal with the Guo family, there will be no situation where he will join forces with the Guo family to deal with him.
What Jiang Feng didn't know was that the day after he left the Shui family, the Guo family sent several invitation letters one after another in the name of Old Man Guo, inviting people from other families to gather in the Guo family to discuss the affairs of the Zi family and the Xu family.
The Guo family has a faint tendency to lead the way within the twelve families, and this time, the four families have been destroyed, and the people in the other families are panicking, and no one knows when the disaster will befall them.
Five days later, a high-level meeting composed of the remaining eight families was held at the Guo family.
The interior of Guo's house, in the courtyard where Guo Lao lives.
"Old Master, all the heads of the seven families have arrived, and they are waiting for you in the hall. Guo Rang said.
Guo Lao's invitation letter was to let the heads of the seven families go out together, which can be said to have given the Guo family enough face, and Guo Rang also felt honored and arrogant.
Guo Lao played with the teacup and said leisurely: "Don't worry, the tea has just been brewed." β
"But they've been waiting for half an hour, and I've just gone over to take a look, and they seem to be a little impatient. Guo Rang said truthfully, he is a straight man, and he will say whatever he sees.
Guo Lao glanced at him and shook his head, but he didn't speak, Guo Rang scratched his cheeks and ears anxiously, and didn't understand what Guo Lao meant, so he had to ask Guo Wang with his eyes.
Seeing him, Guo Wang waved his hand and said, "Don't ask more questions that shouldn't be asked, do your own thing." β
Guo Rang was confused and said: "The problem is that everything that should be done has been done, and there is nothing to do now." Speaking of this, his eyes lit up, and he said: "Do you want me to kill all those guys from the seven families? β
"Shut up. Guo Wang drank, although he had long known that Guo Rang didn't like to use his brains in doing things, he didn't expect Guo Rang to be brain-dead to such a point.
If these words are spread, it will definitely make the people of the seven families completely fried, even if the Guo family is strong, it may not be able to suppress it.
"Don't argue, get out. Guo Lao waved his hand to signal Guo Rang to leave, there was no dissatisfaction on his face, he himself is a smart person, or the most intelligent type, smart people naturally don't like someone smarter than themselves, speaking of which, in comparison, he prefers Guo Rang's kind of straight stunned, without him, it is easier and more convenient to control.
Of course, among a large group of fools, there must always be a smart person to lead, Guo Wang, who plays such a role, which is also considered when Guo Lao selected a few of them to focus on training.
After taking a sip of tea, Guo Lao asked lightly, "Guo Wang, when do you think I'm going to go?"
Guo Wang immediately replied: "Old master, with your identity, you can naturally pass whenever you want. You go to give them face, even if you don't go, they don't dare to say anything if they want to come. β
Guo Wang said this and didn't say it, but Guo Lao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then drink this cup of tea and then go over." β
Guo Wang nodded, but he didn't expect that Guo Lao's cup of tea would be drunk for more than two hours.
β¦β¦
In the reception hall of the Guo family, the heads of the seven major families had already sat down under the arrangement of the special person, the tea and snacks should be served, and some families who were usually close to each other were talking together in twos and threes, at the beginning, they were still very patient, but after waiting for nearly three hours, they finally had a grumpy outburst.
There was a crisp sound of "pop", and a middle-aged man with a sideways face slapped a servant in the face, and said scoldingly: "Bastard, Lao Tzu has asked you so many times when Old Man Guo will come over, and you have always told Lao Tzu that you will come soon, and when will it be, Lao Tzu has been waiting for three hours, whether he will come or not." β
The middle-aged man is not easy to mess with at first glance, under the attack of anger, this slap is so amazing, a slap is to hit half of the maid's face bruised, this is still when he did not use all his strength, otherwise that slap down, the maid's neck will be broken by him.
The maid took a slap, but she was also very polite, and said without humility or arrogance: "Master Zhong, I am just a person in charge of passing on the word, why should you be embarrassed by me with your status?"
"I'm embarrassed by you, fuck your mother, you should make it clear to Lao Tzu, is it me who is embarrassed with you or you who is embarrassed by me?" The middle-aged man's voice was shocking, and everyone in the living room heard what he said.
Someone softly advised the middle-aged man not to be angry, after all, this is the Guo family, don't look at the face of the monk and see the face of the Buddha, there is no need to worry about a subordinate, so as not to fall into the identity, of course, there are also people who are happy to see it, they are all people with status, usually only others wait for their share, even if the identity of the old man Guo is placed there, it can't make them wait so long. However, they didn't show it too obviously, and the middle-aged man's approach was right in their arms.
"I'm a subordinate, how dare I embarrass you with the Zhong family master, the Zhong family master laughed. The maid looked calm, and after saying this, she even poured tea into the middle-aged man's cup before turning away.
"Okay, okay, is this the Guo family's hospitality, I, Zhong Quan, have personally understood it. The middle-aged man waved his hand, waved the teacup to the ground, got up, looked around, and said, "Everyone, Zhong Quan is not feeling well, so he will leave, you can do it yourself." β
Dropping this sentence, without waiting for everyone to respond, the middle-aged man walked away, but as soon as he took the first step, he heard a loud laughter sound: "Zhong Quan, old man, I just came over, you have to leave, isn't it too bad to give me this old man face?"
