Chapter 35: The Four Great Families
For the current Mao Wenlong, Ye County is like being blind, knowing nothing and understanding nothing. And this place is the place where he wants to settle down, so he doesn't want to miss any opportunity to get to know Ye County.
Hearing that Shen Qing and the others were actually from Ye County, Mao Wenlong started to learn about Ye County from him. But hearing Shen Qing talk about the four families again, Mao Wenlong was quite curious about these four families.
In order to get a closer understanding of Ye County, Mao Wenlong simply asked Chen Jisheng to let go of Shen Qing and his partner. The women, children, and women who had been guarded were also relocated to their respective houses.
Chen Jisheng ordered the three corpses to be taken away and properly buried. After dealing with these things, he began to bury the pot and cook, Mao Wenlong asked Haoda to bring wine and sat down with Shen Qing to talk.
"Tell me about the origin of the four major families in Ye County?" Listening to it, Mao Wenlong felt that if he wanted to settle down in Ye County, he had to face the so-called four major families.
Since there is no way to avoid it, the only thing you have to do is to know as much as possible about the opponent you are about to face. Knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles, it is indeed necessary for Mao Wenlong to find out the details of the four major families.
At the mention of the four major families, Shen Qing's face suddenly showed a trace of fear. Secretly swallowing his saliva, he whispered: "Young Master doesn't know, the four major families in Ye County are all famous families. Local officials dare not argue with it, it can be said that Yexian is ruled by these four major families. ”
"Well, tell me who is the most powerful among the four."
"If you want to say who is the most powerful, it is naturally the Shen family who occupies two-thirds of the salt mines in the entire Ye County!"
A trace of pride appeared on Shen Qing's face at this time, but it quickly turned lonely again, and he continued: "The villain was originally also a member of the Shen family, but it's a pity that the mother is just a concubine who is nothing. I was framed to death by the tigress of the Shen family, and I was kicked out of the Shen family. ”
At this point, Shen Qing looked hateful, and his eyes were full of hatred. Apparently, he is also a man with a story.
The common plot of fighting for power in a big family, Mao Wenlong has guessed the whole process from Shen Qing's words. An imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Mao Wenlong had already thought of a good way to settle in Ye County.
At this moment, Mao Wenlong was like a demon, looking at Shen Qing in front of him like a helpless lamb, he said in a seductive tone: "I felt that you were by no means an ordinary person from the first time I saw you, and now it seems that my conjecture is not wrong." ”
Shen Qing looked up at Mao Wenlong in surprise, his heart was already blinded by hatred at this moment. He had already seen the power of Mao Wenlong's subordinates, and if it was possible, he wanted Mao Wenlong to help him avenge his mother's murder and regain the glory and wealth that belonged to him.
Instead of being a homeless stray dog like now, in the company of these lowly untouchables in this barren mountain and wilderness.
Since Shen Qing was kicked out of the Shen family, he has never given up revenge. Joining this gang of horse thieves is also in the hope that one day when they are strong enough, they can be used for their own use.
But now it seems that all this is just wishful thinking on his own. But at this moment, he saw infinite hope, what Mao Wenlong's identity was, he didn't know yet, but judging from the skills of Chen Jisheng and others, he believed that he would definitely not be an unknown person.
Mao Wenlong saw hatred in Shen Qing's eyes, and he said directly: "Do you want to take revenge, and want to regain the glory and wealth that originally belonged to you?" ”
These words were like heavenly sounds, Shen Qing trembled with excitement, and knelt down directly in front of Mao Wenlong with a plop, and said in a trembling voice: "Master Jun, as long as you are willing to help me avenge and regain the glory and wealth that belongs to me." I, Shen Qing, will be your person in the future, and I will be your ghost in death. ”
Shen Qing, who had already been carried away by joy, almost made a promise, and it was estimated that he also knew that Mao Wenlong would not want it, otherwise he would really be able to do it.
He can't live such a hard life outside, and he thinks about his young master's life all day long, and he has to open his mouth and clothes to stretch out his hands, and the life of brocade clothes and jade food is what he desires.
Mao Wenlong looked down on a villain like Shen Qing from the bottom of his heart, but it was obviously not the time to worry about these things with him in front of him. Shen Qing's identity can obviously be used well, and he will be the key person in whether he can settle down smoothly in Ye County in the future.
Holding back his contempt for Shen Qing, Mao Wenlong squeezed out a hypocritical smile, and comforted: "Don't worry, I don't want you to be my person or my ghost, as long as you get what you deserve." Just do it for me! ”
"Master Jun, you said, even if you want my life, it's okay." Shen Qing, who was like a madman, had already begun to talk a little nonsense.
"It's very simple, after you take the power of the Shen family, I want you to carve out a piece of land for me to settle down." Mao Wenlong did not hide it, and directly put forward his own request.
Shen Qing was even more excited at this time, and he couldn't speak. The Shen family, as the most powerful family among the four major families in Ye County, is just a place to settle down, how big can it be.
Mao Wenlong's request is almost to help Shen Qing in vain, at least in Shen Qing's eyes, this is how he looks at Mao Wenlong. Without any hesitation, Shen Qing swore to the sky as soon as possible, repeatedly promising that he would do it.
In this regard, Mao Wenlong did not forget to threaten him: "Remember, don't be cautious with the master, since the master can support you to the top, he naturally has the ability to pull you down." I believe that the Shen family is definitely not your heir! ”
Shen Qing was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, his face was serious, and he repeatedly expressed to Mao Wenlong that he didn't dare.
Mao Wenlong did not entangle with Shen Qing much, and agreed with him to set off for Ye County early tomorrow morning, and then left to find Chen Jisheng, telling him to pay more attention to Shen Qing's every move, and then ignored it.
The best house in the thieves' den was vacated for Mao Wenlong and Chen Lan to rest. I don't know if Chen Jisheng and others did it intentionally or unintentionally, but in short, they forgot that there was such a girl as Hong Ziyan.
There is only this one room left in the house, Hong Ziyan was first pulled into the house by Chen Lan, and when Mao Wenlong came back, she didn't leave or not, and she was quite embarrassed for a while.
Leaving means that she will sleep alone outside tonight, in this unfamiliar place, and in a den of thieves, she really doesn't dare.
But if she doesn't leave, it means that she has to share a room with Mao Wenlong. She couldn't do it anyway, and just thinking about it made her so ashamed that she couldn't feel ashamed.
Chen Lan pretended not to know from beginning to end, and deliberately avoided this issue from the beginning. Even if she saw Hong Ziyan's embarrassed appearance, she pretended not to see anything, obviously deliberately testing Hong Ziyan!
