Chapter 338: The True Image of the Five Veins Seizing Power
Chapter 338
Shangguan Lingling first told me about the old story of the five veins forcing the Xiong family to abdicate through the accident of the dam collapse after the death of the Xiong League leader, Shangguan Lingling said about the same as what Liu Ye said before, and the difference is mainly focused on the inside story that Liu Ye does not know, compared with Liu Ye, Shangguan Jia, as one of the five veins, obviously knows more details inside.
"Now they are saying that it was the five veins that made trouble together, in fact, at the beginning, only Chu Linghan stood up to criticize the Xiong family, at that time, Xiong Anhuang passed away not long ago, most of the people in the Chutian League were unwilling to embarrass the Xiong family, besides, Chu Linghan accused the Xiong family of cutting corners in the dam project, and there was no conclusive evidence, although the Xiong family accounted for the majority of the Chutian Construction Group, there were also many other families involved, if something really happened, everyone's interests would suffer, so no one stood on Chu Linghan's sideγ β
"I can't find anyone to support it, and there is not enough evidence, everyone thinks that Chu Linghan should die down after this while, and then everything is business as usual, just what should happen, Chu Linghan's son, who is the current master of the five veins and the heart and vein, suddenly held a press conference to show a document on the purchase of relevant materials during the construction of the dam by Chutian Construction Group, and the list in the document clearly states that the cement number and steel bar material purchased by Chutian Construction Group, and these two data are lower than the standards required by the dam, this document directly confirms the behavior of Chutian Construction Group in the process of dam construction, and what is even worse is thatAt the end of the document, there is Xiong Dingjun's autograph. β
In the face of the condemnation and accusations of the Chutian Construction Group in the society, more and more people stood on Chu Tianshu's side, and the Xiang family, the Zuo family and the Zhuang family, who had been neutral, also expressed their position and formed an alliance with Chu Tianshu under public opinion, so that only Shangguan Yimai was still hesitating among the five veins, in order to be able to pull the Xiong family down in one fell swoop, Chu Tianshu and the other three families sent lobbyists more than once to persuade Shangguan Yimai, which brought a lot of pressure to Shangguan Ning, who was the head of the Shangguan family at the timeγ β
However, Shangguan Ning finally chose to refuse, Shangguan Ning said that Xiong Anhuang's order was to let the Shangguan family be responsible for the security of Hubei Anning, and there was no internal investigation, and the Shangguan family only attacked the enemy who invaded Hubei, and would never participate in the civil strife of the Chutian League. β
"So, the Shangguan family didn't participate in the seizure of power by the five veins?" I was a little surprised, "Then how did the Shangguan family become one of the current rulers of the Chu Tianmeng?"
"It's not as the Dao Chief thought, the Shangguan family finally joined the camp of seizing power," Shangguan Lingling sighed softly, and then said, "Although the head of the family, Shangguan Ning, refused Chu Tianshu's invitation, Chu Tianshu did not give up, after he saw that he persuaded Shangguan Ning not to move, he turned his target to the majority of the Xiyun Xuance Army, and the one who held the position of the unification of the majority of the Xiyun Xuance Army at that time was Shangguan Lian, the current head of the Shangguan family. β
"Shangguan Lian and Chu Tianshu are of the same age, and their personal relationship is not bad, the two hit it off after they met, and decided that Shangguan Lian would lead the Xiyun Xuan Ce Army to skip Shangguan Ning to help the five veins start the final battle for power, and after the matter was completed, the five veins would jointly take charge of the Chu Tianmeng, Shangguan Ning was blinded to the dark, and when he later knew the truth of the matter, the overall situation was already decided, and he was powerless to return to the sky. β
As more and more evidence surfaced, the Xiong family was completely placed on the cusp, and Chutian Construction Group became the target of Qianfu for a while, and even the status of Chutian League was in jeopardy. β
"The progress of the negotiation is very fast, because Xiong Dingjun did not do any futile struggle at all, Wumai took out the virtue of Xiong Anhuang's handwriting back then, and the agreement that Wumai can replace it requires the Xiong family to be lowered, and at the same time transfer the management of affairs within the Chutian League, Xiong Dingjun fully agreed, and expressed his willingness to bear the infamy of Chutian Construction Group, in exchange, Wumai must no longer hold other Xiong family descendants responsible, and in Chutian League, the Xiong family should also be left with an industry sufficient to support themselves, Wumai agreed, and signed an agreement with Xiong Dingjun on the Xiong family's handling measures, the specific content of the agreement I don't know, but judging from the later treatment plan for the Xiong family, it is still very lenient and preferential. β
"This matter is now settled, Xiong Dingjun took the initiative to surrender, was admitted to prison, died in prison three years later due to a heart attack, after learning the news of Xiong Dingjun's death, Shangguan Ning, who has always felt sorry for the Xiong family, was finally knocked down by the guilt in his heart, Shangguan Ning couldn't afford to be sick, but more than a month, he died suddenly, and then Shangguan Lian successfully took over as the head of the Shangguan family with the support of Chu Tianshu, and most of the Xiyun Xuance Army was unified and replaced by Shangguan Ning's eldest son, Shangguan Lian. β
"Shangguan Lian was angry that Shangguan Lian had done his own thing and plunged his father into an unrighteous place, so he led the Xiyun Xuance army to move out of Xianning City, and the Shangguan clan broke into two shares, although on the bright side, the Xiyun Xuance Army still belongs to the jurisdiction of the head of the Shangguan family, but in fact, it has long been a state of listening to the tune and not listening to the Xuan, Shangguan Lian lost the control of the Xiyun Xuance Army, which is equivalent to losing the powerful means against the other five veins, this matter is very pleasant for Chu Tianshu, so he later made every effort to promote the independence of the Xiyun Xuance Army, and the current Xiyun Xuance Army has a connection with Shangguan Lian in addition to the five-vein trial, and all other matters are directly responsible for the headquarters of the Chu Tianmeng. β
"Isn't the five-vein trial under the responsibility of Shangguan Dadu, how can it still have anything to do with Shangguan Lian?" I was a little puzzled, Shangguan Lingling walked back to the tree stump and sat down, and replied, "Shangguan's family is still one of the five veins in the end, and it can't be said that the five-vein trial will exclude Shangguan Lian, because although the trial of courage will be carried out here, the final token still needs to go into the city to find Shangguan's family to get it." β
I almost laughed when I heard it, it turned out that the so-called cooperation was just a formality, could it be that this is the sense of participation often said on the Internet, no wonder Shangguan Lian had the most stinky temper when he met the elder group at that time, and the feelings were because of his loss of power, this old boy did not talk about morality, and cooperated with Shangguan Ning and Chu Tianshu behind his back to pull the Xiong family down from the position of the person in power, nothing more than to get some benefits from the dragon's work, but he didn't expect that after he became the head of the Shangguan family and became one of the elders as he wished, he would lose control of the Xiyun Xuan Ce Armyγ
The Xiyun Xuance Army is the foundation of the Shangguan clan's foothold in the Chu Tianmeng, the reason why Chu Tianshu would find Shangguan Lian to cooperate back then was nothing more than to take a fancy to the Xiyun Xuance Army in his hand, but it is a pity that even outsiders can understand such a thing, Shangguan Lian himself did not think clearly, he was busy back and forth, but in the end he only took the false name of an empty shell family master, it is really a matter of stealing chickens and rice.
By comparing Liu Ye's words with what Shangguan Lingling said, we can roughly outline the whole picture of the five veins seizing power back then, but the doubts were also exposed at the same time, I found that there was a logical incomprehension in Shangguan Lingling's description just now, I sorted out my thoughts and asked Shangguan Lingling, " Shangguan Datong, I still have one thing to understand, you said that the turning point of the five veins to seize power started when Chu Tianshu took out a document of Xiong Dingjun's signature materials, this is strange, if Xiong Dingjun deliberately wants to cut corners, how can he sign a document that will become evidence in the future, this is completely unreasonable, Xiong Dingjun can find a scapegoat to do this, there is no reason to purchase materials and have to be personally asked. β
And even if Xiong Dingjun signed, the later accusations were a bit far-fetched, but it was just a document for the purchase of materials, and it did not specify where it was used, and it was obviously insufficient to use it as evidence for conviction. β
Shangguan Lingling lowered her eyelids, her eyes a little gloomy, " Dao Chang is not the only one who holds this point of view, my grandfather Shangguan Ning, is guilty because of these ambiguous evidence that the Xiong family has been cornered, grandfather said, Xiong Dingjun will take the initiative to admit guilt, because the negative impact of this incident is too great, the investigation of the Xiong family by the five veins lasted from 98 to 05 years, a full seven years, Chu Tianmeng was deeply trapped in the abyss of infighting and could not extricate himself, Xiong Dingjun could not bear to destroy the foundation created by his righteous brother, so he chose to take the initiative to confess his guilt to calm down this turmoil, from this general righteousness, all of us are inferior to himγ β
"There are those who gain righteousness, and there are those who lose righteousness," I stared into Shangguan Lingling's eyes, "Xiong Dingjun sacrificed his life in exchange for the stability of Chu Tianmeng, no one has anything to say, but Chu Tianshu can win the hearts of the people by virtue of such unclean means?"
"People's hearts have always been stupid," Shangguan Lingling said with a little resentment in her tone, "After the five veins took over the Chu Tianmeng, they happened to meet the next economic development**, countless opportunities and wealth flocked to them, who still has time to investigate these things that have happened, the interests make those who are suspicious shut up, and when this wave of economic development is over, the five veins have already secured the position of the person in power, everything has been settled, and no one cares about those old things." β
I was dumbfounded for a while, what Shangguan Lingling said was right, people's hearts have been fickle since ancient times, and they have been blamed with the Xiong family, and they have followed the wealth of the five veins, and fools with such a simple question know how to choose, as for what righteousness, who cares.
"Shangguan Dadu shouldn't pay too much attention to these old things," I comforted Shangguan Lingling, "No matter who was right and who was wrong back then, it was all a done boat, and it was difficult to change, what we have to do should be to look forward, isn't it very good that the five veins manage Chu Tianmeng now, as long as they can continue to persevere and ensure the prosperity and stability of the people of Hubei, then it is not a good thing." β
"Hmph," Shangguan Lingling's tone was still a little angry, "It's better for them to keep going like this, and don't make any angry things, otherwise, I will personally lead the Xiyun Xuance army to give them a ride!"
