Chapter 83: Killing Three Birds with One Stone!
The silver vault in the east of the city was robbed, which made Wang Xiao almost faint.
He also didn't care about going to the government to handle official business, so he hurriedly summoned the head of the family.
According to the division of the family in the Great Jin Dynasty, although there is no clear standard, there are default rules.
For example, if you want to become a high-grade family, there are three generations of the family that must serve as a third-grade or above member, have a title, a certain amount of land, set the product as a high-grade child, have an outstanding reputation in the local area, the recognition of other families, the recognition of the imperial court, and so on.
It's not that you can succeed if you want to be a high-grade clan.
And to be able to meet the standards of a high-grade family, the family size is not small.
The family leaders convened by Wang Xiao this time are all descendants within the four suits, including Wang Xiao's uncles, brothers, cousins, nephews, etc., all of whom are core figures who can access family secrets, a total of twelve people.
Known as the twelve speakers of the Wang family.
These people didn't know what was going on, but seeing the gloomy face of the head of the house, they expected that something big was happening, so they didn't dare to ask more, and sat quietly below to watch what happened.
Wang Xiao swept around, found that there were only eleven people, and deliberately asked, "Who else hasn't come?" ”
Wang Xiao's younger brother Wang Fang said: "Uncle hasn't come yet, he has already sent someone to invite him." ”
"Good!" Wang Xiao suddenly became angry.
Wang Xiao is fifty years old, and his uncle's age is also there. At the beginning, Wang Xiao's father died early, and before his death, he tried his best to let the young Wang Xiao inherit the family business, so that his uncle's conspiracy came to an end, so that over the years, his uncle always made things difficult for Wang Xiao by virtue of his identity.
The larger the family, the more conflicts and factions will arise.
Now that this uncle has been delayed for a long time, it looks like he is giving Wang Xiao a boost.
After waiting for another quarter of an hour, Wang Canghai finally arrived.
"Wang Xiao, what's wrong, hurriedly gather everyone?" After Wang Canghai arrived, he asked displeased.
Wang Xiao endured his anger and asked the idlers to retreat before he said, "Last night, the family's secret vault in the east of the city was robbed, and all the guardian masters were killed!" ”
"Huh?"
"How is that possible!"
"Holy!"
Everyone present was shocked and couldn't help but exclaim.
Wang Canghai roared: "Robbed? What about the silver and the title deed? ”
Wang Xiao said: "They all said that they were robbed, of course they were looted!" Could it be that the other party is just spinning! ”
Wang Canghai trembled with anger, knocked on the ground with his cane, and said angrily: "Wang Xiao, you are the head of a family, don't you know the importance of this silver vault?" The silver in it is lost, hundreds of thousands of taels, but the title deed is the lifeblood of the Wang family, there are 20,000 acres of land deed certificates, employing nearly 1,000 people to hire farmers, although the Wang family can not let the muscles and bones, but it is definitely uncomfortable. ”
"There are so many masters to protect, and they are all henchmen cultivated by the family since childhood, and the secrets of the silver vault are hidden, and those present are all in charge of the family, but only a few people know the exact location, how can they be robbed, there must be a cat in it!"
Seeing Wang Canghai asking himself, Wang Xiao raised his eyebrows angrily and asked, "Uncle, what do you mean by this?" Do you suspect that someone is guarding and stealing? It seems that my uncle also knows the location of the bank. ”
"Smack!"
Wang Canghai slapped the table and said angrily: "Wang Xiao, what do you mean? ”
Wang Xiao said coldly: "Literally! ”
Wang Fang on the side hurriedly eased the atmosphere: "Uncle, eldest brother, now is not the time to argue, let's find out who did it first, and then check the flow of the title deed." Our Wang family is a high-grade family in Pengcheng, and even if the thief gets these land deeds, no one will dare to accept them if he wants to make a move. Find out who is behind the scenes as soon as possible, so as to prevent future troubles. ”
Wang Xiao nodded, then ignored Wang Canghai, and arranged work.
This family meeting ended quickly, and everyone left with solemn faces, leaving the rest of the Wang family constantly speculating, not knowing what was going on.
Wang Beifeng's legs were broken and he could only lie on the bed.
But he knew what was going on, so he asked his henchmen to inquire secretly. And the henchman couldn't inquire about the specific situation, but he saw Wang Canghai leave angrily.
Who doesn't know that Wang Canghai has coveted the position of the head of the family for a long time, relying on his seniority to rival Wang Xiao, and has won over many clansmen.
Wang Beifeng is just a concubine, and if he wants to replace the Wang family, he has to obtain the family status step by step, and the first thing is to obtain Wang Xiao's approval.
How to get Wang Xiao's approval?
The robbery of the bank is a good start.
At this time, Shen Ning had already arrived at the Southeast Palace, and Sima Haiyun excitedly led him to the warehouse and opened all the big boxes.
Looking at the white silver and the thick land deed, Sima Haiyun said heroically: "Liu Shu, this is our trophy, my father said, these things are up to me to arrange, and I will ask my subordinates to send you a few boxes of silver later, you have nothing to spend and play, and you can take the title deed!" ”
Shen Ning smiled: "I can accept the silver, but the title deed can't." Now the Wang family will definitely track the whereabouts of the title deed, and as long as they make a move, they will be discovered by the other party. And the title deed of the Wang family, in addition to the southeast palace in Pengcheng, who else dares to take over! Therefore, the title deed is not in a hurry to deal with it, and when the time comes, find a reason, pretending that it was purchased by the king of the southeast, so that the Wang family can only stare dryly. In addition, he had to take out some acting to help Wang Beifeng take the position. ”
"Okay, listen to you." Sima Haiyun said excitedly.
The robbery of the silver treasury is a great opportunity for Wang Beifeng to come out, so how to get Wang Xiao's recognition and respect?
It's actually quite simple.
Wang Canghai and Wang Xiao were hostile, Wang Xiao had long held a grudge against this uncle, but he never made a move because he had too many scruples.
Therefore, Shen Ning only needed to frame Wang Canghai and blame him for robbing the silver treasury, and Wang Beifeng happened to discover and expose Wang Canghai's conspiracy and recover part of the title deed.
In the end, Wang Beifeng found out the cancer of the family, was the benefactor of the family, and helped Wang Xiao get rid of the big trouble in his heart and completely control the family!
At that time, Wang Xiao was very happy, Wang Beifeng was his own son, so he naturally wanted to be more important. Therefore, Wang Beifeng's entry into the core circle of the Wang family is a certainty.
Once Wang Beifeng enters the inner circle and has power in his hands, he can better destroy the Wang family.
And in this whole matter, it is just the internal struggle of the Wang family, and it has nothing to do with the Southeast Palace, which has obtained both silver and land deeds, and plans to complete it, killing three birds with one stone.
This whole plan was conceived by Shen Ning and Li Ru, and it was highly recognized by Jiang Xiao, and he would fully cooperate with this matter, so there was no need for Shen Ning to do it himself.
It's just that what Shen Ning didn't expect was that he frequently went in and out of the Southeast Palace, and he also fell into the eyes of others and became the object of attention.
That evening, he received an invitation.
It was sent by Sima Haiying and invited Shen Ning to go to the Rouge Pavilion to drink.
