After nearly three months of turbulence, he came from the Dongjiang River in Liaodong to Ye County in Henan Province, and Mao Wenlong finally had a place to rest temporarily.

After arranging for everyone to stay, it is time to start fighting for the days to come. It is also urgent to help Shen Qing sit on the Shen family patriarch.

Mao Wenlong has just arrived, and if he is on the bar with the Shen family head-on, it will naturally be inappropriate, so if he wants to make Shen Qing the head of the Shen family, he needs to think about it in the long run.

Shen Qing was invited to Mao Wenlong's residence early in the morning, and Chen Jisheng was already by his side. However, Chen Lan went to find Hong Ziyan early in the morning at the behest of Mao Wenlong.

Hearing that Mao Wenlong was finally going to help him sit on the Shen family patriarch, Shen Qing was both excited and apprehensive. The Shen family is definitely a giant in the local area, and with the current Mao Wenlong, if they want to shake the Shen family, it is difficult for Shen Qing to reach the sky. It's just that his desire for the Shen family patriarch has far exceeded the apprehension in his heart, so he obeyed the order to discuss.

Mao Wenlong waited until Shen Qing sat down, and then he didn't beat around the bush, and said bluntly: "Shen Qing, you know, the governor of Pontus now has only a few people under him, and it is naturally not good to come to the door directly if we are strong, so we can only outwit and not be reckless now." ”

Shen Qing nodded approvingly: "What the Governor said is very true, what should be done, please Governor even if he speaks bluntly, Shen Qing will definitely follow it meticulously." ”

"It's the best, then I won't hide it, judging from the current situation of the Shen family. We can only break through from the inside, so let's talk about your understanding of the Shen family, and the key people in the Shen family now, who have decision-making power over whether you can become the patriarch. ”

Mao Wenlong's idea is actually very simple, Shen Qing was originally a member of the Shen family, although he was forced to leave the Shen family, he was still a member of the Shen family.

So things are much easier to do, just find out which key people the Shen family has, and then buy people's hearts, and when the time is ripe, you can seize power in one fell swoop, which can be said to be a matter of course.

Shen Qing obviously knew a lot about his own affairs, and replied: "Actually, after all, the Shen family has the right to speak under the patriarch, except for my second uncle, there is only the magistrate of the county yali, as long as the two of them can support me in secret, it is not difficult to become the patriarch." ”

"It's just ......."

Shen Qing hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "It's just that the most difficult thing to do now is that this magistrate has always been from Shen Shangxuan's side, and it is obviously impossible for him to support me as the head of the Shen family." However, there is no problem on my second uncle's side at all, I have already told him before, and he has already expressed his support for me. ”

Mao Wenlong laughed when he heard this: "You are wrong, there is no reliable family affection in this world, just like you are now." You should have been the Shen family, and you were connected to Shen Shangxuan in the same vein. But after he became the patriarch, did he take care of you for the sake of your brother, right? ”

Shen Qing was slightly stunned: "Du Du means ......." ”

"Yes, nothing is reliable in this world, and the only reliable thing is profit. Now the key is whether you can give that magistrate enough benefits, as long as enough benefits impress him, so that he in turn supports you as the patriarch, it is not impossible. ”

Shen Qing quickly stood up: "What benefits do you think I should give to this magistrate?" ”

Mao Wenlong smiled and said quietly: "It's very simple, knowing yourself and knowing the other side can survive a hundred battles, so you should go and investigate first now." Of course, if you go in your current capacity, people will definitely ignore you, so now you should have an identity that is enough to be equal to him. ”

Shen Qing's eyes lit up: "Everything is arranged by the governor." ”

Mao Wenlong smiled, and then muttered in Chen Jisheng's ear for a moment. Chen Jisheng nodded again and again while listening, and then hurriedly resigned.

Shen Qing was very anxious, but he didn't dare to have the slightest dissatisfaction with Mao Wenlong, and tried his best to wait patiently for Mao Wenlong's orders.

After Chen Jisheng left, Mao Wenlong said to him: "From now on, you are a counselor of my Liaodong Dongjiang Army. Although the official is not big, it should be enough to attract the attention of the magistrate. ”

After speaking, Mao Wenlong directly took out the token that belonged to Liu Guangzuo from his body, and threw it to Shen Qing with a flick of his hand.

The latter, with trembling hands, carefully caught it, glanced at it quickly, and then carefully received it in his arms. At this time, Chen Jisheng had already returned, bowed to Mao Wenlong and said, "Governor, everything is done, do you want to set off now." ”

Mao Wenlong nodded and said, "Go ahead, take out the majesty of our Dongjiang Army, don't let people look down on it." ”

"The subordinates are determined to defend the prestige of our Dongjiang Army to the death." Chen Jisheng responded loudly.

Mao Wenlong smiled with satisfaction, and then said to Shen Qingyan: "Now you go to see that magistrate, Jisheng and a few of my personal soldiers will go with you." Remember the purpose of your trip, just find out the details of that county, and we will discuss the rest when we come back. ”

"Remember, please rest assured!" Shen Qing learned from Chen Jisheng's style, bowed to Mao Wenlong and replied.

Mao Wenlong waved his hand with satisfaction: "Go!" ”

"Subordinate, villain retires!"

After Chen Jisheng and Shen Qing bowed together, they retreated!

Mao Wenlong then got up and left the room. Although the Shen family's affairs are a little troublesome, they are just trouble. Mao Wenlong didn't pay much attention to it, but he was quite concerned about Hong Ziyan's affairs.

Counting the days, there were a few days between the last time and the guards who went to report to Hong Chengchou that they were safe. Thinking that it won't be long before Hong Chengchou will send someone to pick up Hong Ziyan.

Therefore, Mao Wenlong must at least determine the relationship between himself and Hong Ziyan before this. In this way, the time is still quite short.

Mao Wenlong knew that before Hong Ziyan left, he had to race against time to create opportunities with her. He had already thought about it, and took them outside to take advantage of the fact that he was a little free.

As soon as they arrived in front of Hong Ziyan's house, they heard the laughter of Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan coming frequently. Mao Wenlong couldn't help but speed up his pace, and when he arrived at the door, he laughed and said, "The weather is good today, the two young ladies want to go to the street for a walk." ”

"Xianggong, really?"

As soon as he heard that he was going to go to the street, Chen Lan's eyes immediately lit up, and he rushed over and snuggled up to Mao Wenlong's body.

Mao Wenlong waved his hand generously and said, "Do you need to lie to you about this little thing?" Go, go now. It just so happened that the prime minister got some ill-gotten gains a few days ago, what you need, what you like, just take and buy. ”

Chen Lan immediately didn't say a word, threw away Mao Wenlong and rushed over to pull Hong Ziyan, who was still hesitating, and said with a smile: "Sister, let's go." ”
