Time passed in a flash, and after Wang Mang and Yu Lao agreed on the plan of action, he immediately found Xiangyang assassin Shi Qian Zhongyang, made a plan to him, and gave the bottom.

Qian Zhongyang was not afraid, lent a part of the forbidden army tiger talisman under his control to Wang Mang, and prepared the private soldiers in his mansion to fight.

On the second day, Wang Mang was about to talk to Wei Ziyao.

At this time, Wang Xiannian came over in a hurry.

As soon as he saw Wang Mang, he asked straight to the point: "Mang'er, are you really planning to do it?" ”

"Yes, I'm going to copy the Jia family." Wang Mang nodded.

"And when are you going to do it?" Wang Xiannian asked again.

When Wang Mang heard this, his heart moved, and he shook his head and said: "I have only returned from Handan County not long ago, and many things have not been arranged, so the date has not been finalized. But according to estimates, it's only two or three days. ”

"Just two or three days? So fast? ”

Wang Xiannian did not doubt that it was false, and frowned: "Reckless, you can't be reckless in this matter." The Jia family is not so easy to deal with. Also, how many people do you have in place? I have already started to plan the separation of the Wang family, so I can personally lend you some manpower. ”

"Separation?" Wang Mang exclaimed: "Uncle, if you do this, doesn't the grandfather object?" What about the other lineage? ”

"It's useless for your grandfather to object, now I'm the patriarch. As for the descendants of the other provinces, hmph, the minority obeys the majority, and it is not okay if the minority does not approve of it. Wang Xiannian snorted.

"I see!" Wang Mang said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you divide the family, the management of the province is bloated and the family is difficult to let go. Uncle, I appreciate your kindness. This time, I have prepared about 1,000 men, which is almost enough.

I don't believe it, his Jia family can cover the sky with one hand in Qingzhou. Uncle, if it's okay, please go back first. The affairs of the Jia family, don't worry about you, I have my own arrangements, and I can't keep them eating and walking around. ”

Wang Xiannian looked at Wang Mang's confident look, frowned, and said, "Mang'er, a thousand people can't help the Jia family." According to the information I have obtained, there are four or five thousand private soldiers of his Jia family, plus all kinds of other helpers, and the total number of people must be six or seven thousand.

I don't think you'd better be too reckless. If you don't want my Wang family to interfere, then you can let the strong men who surrendered from outside the city take action. There are also quite a few of those people, which can be regarded as part of the combat power. If you act with their power, you will have a good deal. ”

"Uncle, those people must not meddle in this matter. After all, they came to join the army to go to the frontier to kill foreign enemies, not to avenge me. Okay, uncle, I know this in my heart, you don't have to worry about it. Wang Mang replied.

"This..."

Wang Xiannian wanted to persuade him for a word or two, but when he saw Wang Mang's impatient face, he didn't say anything more and turned back.

The reason why Wang Mang didn't confess to him this time was not that he didn't believe Wang Xiannian, but that he didn't believe in the people under Wang Xiannian's hands.

He expected that if he told the truth, he would definitely let the news leak out, which would affect the plan.

After Wang Mang got up and saw Wang Xiannian away, he came to the inner courtyard and found Han Fei'er.

Wang Mang said to Han Fei'er: "Fei'er, now the Shangguan family can't help, so you can go and prepare manpower first." I need these people when the time comes. ”

"Yes, young master!" Han Fei'er received the order, left the General's Mansion, walked in the direction of the Xinlong Inn, and arranged for manpower.

She has been developing in Qingzhou for a year or two, and in addition to listening to intelligence, she has also recruited many masters. Otherwise, if Xinlong Inn is not protected by thugs, how can it survive in the cracks of many families?

Previously, Wang Mang didn't want to involve this matter with Xinlong Inn, for fear of affecting his layout.

Now that things have changed a little, he has to be prepared for both in case something changes.

After talking to Han Fei'er, he went straight to the study again.

When he came to the study, he saw two people in the room, Qiu Tong and Wei Ziyao, and Wang Jingyan was not seen.

Wei Ziyao and the others were a little embarrassed when they saw Wang Mang coming, especially Wei Ziyao.

She was drunk yesterday and delirious. When I woke up early this morning, I was sure that I had lost my temper yesterday. So he asked Qiu Tong for the specific experience, and asked what he said at the time.

Qiu Tong was naturally not good at telling Wei Ziyao about her drunken words at that time, but she just blindly prevaricated.

Wei Ziyao saw that she was prevaricating herself, and her heart was even more up, estimating that she must have said a lot of bad things.

Wang Mang asked, "Niangniang, Qiu Tong, isn't Jingyan here?" ”

Wei Ziyao couldn't speak, so Qiu Tong replied: "Young Master, Sister Jingyan just sat here for a while, and then went out. I guess I should be talking to Sister Wang Ping. Are you looking for her? ”

"No, nothing. Sit down, and I'll go around somewhere else. At this moment, Wang Mang didn't want to face Wei Ziyao, and he was also a little embarrassed.

As soon as Wei Ziyao heard this, she quickly stood up and asked with a red face, "Wang Mang, you wait." Yesterday I must have said a lot of drunken things after I got drunk, and if there are any bad things in them, please don't be surprised. Also, I wonder what I said yesterday? Can you tell me? I asked Qiu Tong, but she just wouldn't say. ”

Hearing this, Wang Mang stopped and turned around again.

After thinking about it for a while, he told the truth: "You said a lot of drunken things yesterday, some about the Wei family and some about me. At that time, you said that the Wei family bullied you and wanted us to give you a vent. ”

Wei Ziyao nodded, "What about you?" ”

"This..."

Wang Mang pondered for a moment, and said embarrassedly: "You said that you want to replace Jingyan and let Jingyan listen to you in everything, muttering that I will not marry..."

"Poof!"

Before he finished his words, Qiu Tong couldn't help it and laughed.

When Wei Ziyao heard this, her face immediately turned red, and she said in a panic: "Lord Wang, this is pure nonsense, you must not take it seriously." ”

Wang Mang smiled: "Niangniang, please rest assured, how can I take drunk words seriously?" ”

"That's good..."

Wei Ziyao felt a lot more relieved, and then asked in a tentative tone: "Lord Wang, let me ask you, what would you do if I really wanted to replace Jingyan, or if I didn't replace Jingyan, but took care of you with her?" ”

Wang Mang replied: "No one can replace her, between you and me and Jingyan, it's just a friendship." Okay mother, don't say much, I think you seem to be in a much better mood now. If you want to continue to relax here for a few more days, you can do so here. You don't have to follow a lot of rules here, but you can do it according to your heart. If you are bored, you can go back to the palace first. ”

"Well, I know that this palace plans to stay with you for another day or two. Lord Wang, if there is any chatter in this palace, please forgive me. ”

"Nothing, nothing." Wang Mang bowed and exited the study.

After he left, Wei Ziyao said dissatisfied to Qiu Tong: "Good Qiu Tong, I treat you as my best confidant, but you don't even tell me about my ugly things in front of Lord Wang." Hmph, I misjudged you, and I won't believe you in the future. ”

Qiu Tong stuck out his tongue and said, "Niangniang, where can I say this?" After all, you were muttering about it at the time. ”

"Hmph, you little hoof has been with Wang Mang for six or seven years, and your heart is towards him, and you have forgotten about me. But I won't bother with you for the time being. Lord Wang said that he was going to start destroying the Jia family tonight, and I had to help him in this matter and give him a favor to entertain me. You can go to the palace and take my sigil and arrange for some men to come. ”

Qiu Tong was unmoved, and hesitated: "Niangniang, this is not good." If I take your sigil and send someone over, I'm afraid that the Wei family will make it even more difficult for you. I don't believe that if you were involved, the Wei family would not know. And the Feng family will also know the situation as soon as possible. In your Fenglai Palace, there are many people from Feng Xiang. ”

Wei Ziyao pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "You are right, the Wei family is indeed troublesome. But it doesn't matter, I don't need to be banned. Qiu Tong, didn't you train some dead soldiers for me before, and now it's time for them to take action. I live here, and if I don't express it, I won't be able to go. ”

"Yes, mother, I'll arrange it." Qiu Tong happily accepted the order.
