Chapter 353: Lips and Teeth Are Cold

The county seat of Lin'an County. Ding's compound. Backyard main house living room.

Ding Wenqian's shocked expression and exclamation made the housekeeper Fusheng and Uncle Lao Gen frightened, frightened, and dumbfounded, they couldn't imagine what the Ding family would do? Changgui was a little calmer, although he didn't know what was going to happen to the Ding family, but he definitely believed that Ding Wenqian and Ding Ruxuan would definitely have a way to deal with it skillfully, resolve it wittily, and solve it satisfactorily. It later showed that Changgui's thoughts and judgments were completely wrong, and the Ding family was almost bankrupt and ruined.

Although Ding Ruxuan also had a hunch and estimated that something would happen to the Ding family with the Fang family's accident, he was still not sure what was going to happen? How serious will it be? When he saw Ding Wenqian's depressed demeanor and exclaimed in shock, he asked eagerly:

"Third uncle, what's wrong with you? Why is the Ding family in a catastrophe? ”

Ding Wenqian's brows were furrowed, his face was full of sorrow, and he sighed heavily and said:

"Alas! The Japanese frantically destroyed the Fang family to this step, don't you all understand why? This is just the beginning, and there will be more ruthless and more damage to come. After destroying the Fang family, it will be our Ding family's turn. Alas! Doom is inevitable. ”

"Not? Master, I don't think our Ding family will suffer like the Fang family. Anyway, after all, Nakagawa Eiichi is the nephew and son-in-law of the Ding family, so he has to save some face for the Ding family, and he still has a lot to rely on the Ding family. Master, you are in a hurry, our Ding family must be safe. Butler Fusheng said comfortingly.

"Humph! Fusheng, it would be nice if it was really like what you said. Don't forget, dogs eat and wolves eat meat, and the nature of animals can't be changed. This is a time of war, and there must be no unrealistic illusions about the Japanese. Ding Wenqian said vigilantly.

"Master, tell us what's going on." Uncle Lao Gen asked.

"What's going on? It's something that's obvious, something that a blind person can see clearly. Nakagawa Rongyi commanded the detective team to come out, the gendarmerie sent troops to stand and cheer, and the Imperial Association Army also sent troops to follow and coax, and searched all the shops and businesses inside and outside Fangjia County for several days in a row, clearly saying that this was to kill chickens to show monkeys, knock on mountains and shock tigers, strike one, and deter and warn the rest, and the ultimate goal was to control and grasp the commercial and economic lifeline of Lin'an County and the entire western Hebei region. I wondered if this might be a small step before the Japanese were going to launch some major military action. We don't know what the Japanese are going to do next. Ding Wenqian said analytically and speculatively.

"Master, if the Japanese beat the Fang family down, will they be able to control all the business in the county seat and the western Hebei region? It's unlikely, right? Fusheng was skeptical.

"Yes. Sir, I don't think it's likely. Uncle Gen echoed.

"Confused! Can't you even settle such a simple account? The Fang family's grain trading inside and outside the county accounts for 60 percent and a half, our Ding family accounts for 2 percent, and there are five or six small grain merchants who only account for 1 and a half. The Fang family's grain trade in the western Hebei region accounts for more than forty percent, and our Ding family only accounts for one and a half percent. The coal trade in the county seat and the western Hebei region is all owned by the Fang family. I won't say much more about buying and selling in other industries. If the Fang family is completely destroyed by the Japanese, then the economy of the county town and western Hebei will also be completely ruined. Ding Wenqian speculated.

"Huh? Can you say it so wickedly? Master, the Fang family is finished, so isn't there still our Ding family? How can it be said that if the Fang family is not good, the county seat and western Hebei will be finished? Can't the people of our realm survive without the Fang family? Fusheng asked questioningly.

"Fusheng, you finally got half the sentence right in a daze. It really can't leave the Fang family right now, our Ding family can't replace the Fang family. After decades, can the Fang family's economic strength and Jianghu power be finished so easily? Don't forget the seventh child of the Fang family in the gourd valley of Yufeng Mountain, and my biological son Xiao Liuzi, who has been separated for more than 20 years, who has never been clear about whether it is a human or a ghost. Alas! Ding Wenqian sighed sadly.

"Sixth uncle, what did you say about the Ding family's catastrophe?" Ding Ruxuan asked.

"Looking at the situation and posture in the past few days, Nakagawa Eiichi wants to completely collapse the Fang family. Because he has comprehensively and thoroughly investigated the important economic status and role of the Fang family, the leading boss, in the western Hebei region. Then find a new merchant to replace it, no matter who thinks about it with ass eggs, it will think that the second behind the Fang family is our Ding family, I judge that Zhongchuan Rongyi will definitely come to me and ask the Ding family to come forward to maintain and support the economic situation of the county and western Hebei. On the surface, Nakagawa Eiichi is supporting the Ding family, but in fact, he is harming the Ding family! Ding Wenqian said worriedly.

"Huh? Master, how do you say that? Uncle Gen asked puzzledly.

"If the Fang family is really ruined and finished, the economy of the county and western Hebei will fall into chaos or even collapse. And the Ding family took over at this time, what would the Fang family think? What will so many people in the county seat and western Hebei think? They will definitely think that this is a conspiracy made by the Ding family in collusion with the Japanese, and the Ding family has become a traitor and traitor who is the source of evil, the target of everyone, and everyone is condemned for it. The grievances between the Ding family and the Fang family will not only be unresolved, but will also become enemies of life and death. Then again, our Ding family doesn't have the strength to take over. Can the Fang family listen to us? There must be more than a hundred merchants who have business dealings with the Fang family, can they listen to the Ding family? They will definitely join forces to work against the Ding family openly and secretly, Nakagawa Rong has repeatedly forced us to do according to his orders, isn't the Ding family in a catastrophe? Ru Xuan, do you understand? Ding Wenqian asked.

"Got it, I got it all. Third Uncle, it's been a few days, and the Fang family hasn't taken any action to fight back, can the Fang family just put up with this? Ding Ruxuan asked.

"How could the Fang family endure this breath? Impossible. Ruxuan, don't forget, Xiao Liuzi has a relationship with the Eighth Route Army and the National Army, as well as the armed guards in Hulu Valley and thousands of apprentices on the rivers and lakes. Isn't there still a rumor that the Fang family has a direct and secret relationship with the Nanjing government? The Fang family will definitely fight back, and it has already begun, you should all know about it. Ding Wenqian said with certainty.

"Huh? Third uncle, has the Fang family started to fight back? How do you know? ”

"The county hospital was robbed at night, and the guards at the north gate of the county town were robbed of guns and ammunition after being knocked unconscious, and the people of the whole city knew about it, how could I not know about it."

"Master, these things were all done by the Black Tiger Gang from other provinces, not by the Fang family." Uncle Lao Gen explained.

"Hmph, what Black Tiger Gang? Do you believe that? There is nothing at all, I judge that the Fang family did it, and it is done beautifully. In the name of the Black Tiger Gang, it was just to fool the Japanese and the detectives, but I didn't expect you to believe it. I estimate that the Fang family will have a backhand operation, and it will be a bigger and deadly action. Ding Wenqian speculated.

"Really? Third uncle, what should we do? Ding Ruxuan asked.

"Ru Xuan, we have to think of something to help the Fang family. Alas! The Ding family and the Fang family are interdependent and related, and one is a loss and one is prosperous. Ding Wenqian said with a sigh.

"Help the Fang family? Third uncle, how can we help? Ding Ruxuan asked suspiciously.

"Ru Xuan, go! You will follow me to Fang's house to visit and comfort Fang Daxian. ”

"Huh?!"
