Chapter 158: Hidden Dangers
In the condemnation of the Li family again and again by the people of Zhuji County, the first snow of this winter finally fell on the land of Guyue. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis is an extremely rare heavy snow in the Jiangnan region, and the clouds covering the sky and the sun are shrouded in the sky, throwing large and dense snowflakes into the mortal world, not only blocking the road, but also completely blocking the people in their homes.
Without these people who kept complaining about all kinds of illegal things in the Li family, the Zhuji County Ya finally restored its original peace. The two Yang Chen brothers also stole half a day of leisure, lit a stove in the back office, and drank a pot of wine while talking.
Just a few words of small talk, Yang Chen unconsciously pulled the topic to the Li family. After all, it was their top priority during this time, and there was a problem that had been bothering him, so how could he not keep thinking about it?
"During this period of time, the Li family was only passively sued, and it seemed that they almost didn't even have the intention of fighting back against us, which made me even more worried." The bird will strike, and the wings will be low; The beast will fight, and the ears will fall, and I always feel that they are preparing a counterattack against me, and now the show of weakness is just an illusion. Jiro, what do you think? After saying his worries, Yang Chen held his cup and looked at the brother opposite.
Yang Zhen nodded solemnly in his heart, and at the same time, he was also comforted in his heart, his brother was no longer the scholar who didn't know the evil of people's hearts. At the beginning in Jiangling, he was completely unaware of the Yao family's calculations. And today, my brother can see the possible crises from the current victories one after another, which shows that he has grown a lot from his officialdom experience in the past six months. The sense of distress has always been the key quality for those who step into the officialdom to keep moving forward.
After taking a sip of wine, Yang Zhen said slowly: "Big brother's worries are not unreasonable. In fact, when people kept suing the Li family last month, and they all accepted it one by one, I felt that something was wrong. Or, they are really afraid of the momentum of our county government, and they dare not be as arrogant as in the past, after all, evil cannot prevail over good; Or, or they have a full plan that can hit Big Brother you, and they don't attack now, but the time is not yet ripe. In the humble opinion of the younger brother, I am afraid that the possibility of the latter is far greater than that of the former. ”
After Yang Zhen said this, the uneasiness in Yang Chen's heart became a little heavier: "Then what do you think they are thinking?" ”
Yang Zhen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I really can't see this, and I can't guess." In fact, in the recent days after I had this idea, I have been paying attention to Master Jiang, hoping to see some clues from him. But as a result, everything is as usual, even more regular than before. That's what makes me elusive. ”
Indeed, Jiang Chong, as the person with the highest status in the county government arranged by the Li family, if they really want to do something in the county government, they must pass through him. For example, the last time Li Chengji happened, it was Jiang Chong who got in the way to get him offended. And this time, even Master Jiang's book seems extraordinarily normal, which is even more elusive.
"Will it ...... Are they going to fight the idea of the grain that is often closed? Yang Chen suddenly put forward his guess, which was the thing he minded the most. After all, since the other party was able to easily steal the grain in the warehouse before, and covered up the problem in a short period of time this year, it is enough to show that the Li family has the ability to do things in Chang Ping.
Yang Zhen shook his head categorically and said, "They don't have the ability to do this this time." As early as after I arrested Li Chengji, I was worried that they would deal with the eldest brother with the grain in the warehouse, so I asked Ruan Wu and Wang Hai to go there to take care of them. In the past month, they have been staying and closing their positions, and nothing unusual has happened. ”
"That's good, that's good." Yang Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then looked at his younger brother with some admiration: "It's still Erlang, where you think about it, you actually sent someone to protect Chang Ping early." If I think about it, I'm afraid I'll let them succeed. ”
"Big brother is just busy with everything, and he doesn't take care of it for a while. Since you can't take care of it, I, as a brother, naturally have to help a little. Yang Zhen said very modestly. Then, he frowned and said, "But in this way, we can't figure out the true purpose of the Li family." At present, there are only a few cards they can play in their hands, not in the county government, it is the granary, do they have a third breakthrough? ”
Yang Chen also pressed his slightly aching head with his hand, and after thinking for a while, he still didn't have a clue: "Only by checking what the Li family or Jiang Chong has done in the county in the past can we find clues." Now I'm in the light, and he's in the dark, and it's really hard to deal with.
"And every time there is a case, the Li family can put the blame on the heads of his subordinates, making it difficult for the county government to really put Li Chenggang and a few of them in charge. The means of such strong men breaking their wrists and geckos breaking their tails are enough to see how powerful they are. Compared to the Xuan family, this Li family is really difficult to deal with. ”
When Yang Zhen heard his brother say this, a strange light suddenly flashed in his eyes: "Xuanjia...... yes, big brother, how did we forget about them. ”
"Huh? Didn't you say before that if you want to deal with the Xuanli family at the same time, even I, the county commander, will be difficult to handle, so ignore him first? Why did you hit the Xuan family with the idea now? Yang Chen couldn't help but wonder.
"No, I'm not referring to this, I'm saying that since we can't figure out the true intentions of the Li family, why don't we knock on the side from the Xuan family and see if we can find out any news? After all, if we talk about the connections in Zhuji County and the understanding of the Li family, the Xuan family will inevitably be far above us. Yang Zhen said that in the end, he seemed a little excited.
Indeed, as the two major families that have been entrenched in Zhuji County for a hundred years, open and secret battles between each other are indispensable, so the understanding between the two sides must be far beyond others. If there is anyone in this county who can see through the intentions of the Li family in the current fog, it is the Xuan family.
Yang Chen was woken up by his brother's words, and he was also in good spirits at first, but then, he shook his head not so confidently: "This thing is not easy to do." Don't say that we have deeply offended the Xuan family before, and we still rely on your identity as Jinyiwei to stabilize them. Even if we have no grievances with the Xuan family, I'm afraid they won't help us deal with the Li family.
After all, these two have coexisted here for a hundred years, and they have already had a tacit understanding with each other. How could the Xuan family break the balance that had been maintained for many years for the sake of me, the county order? ”
"Big brother's concerns are not unreasonable, but we can give it a try. Although the two families have divided all walks of life in Zhuji over the years, and the well water does not interfere with the river water, it is just a tacit understanding in ordinary times. But now it's different, the Li family has obviously been targeted by us, doesn't the Xuan family have the idea of taking the opportunity to snatch greater benefits from it? ”
"The truth of the cold lips and teeth, the Xuan family should understand something, right? The two families are balanced, and Zhuji County is under their control, if the Li family really falls, the situation of his Xuan family ......" Yang Chen completely stood on the position of the Xuan family at the moment and retorted.
"It's just two local tyrants in a small county town, do you really have such vision?" Yang Zhen said with some disbelief: "Under the temptation of possible interests, they will have their own thoughts." If you add the pull of the county government, I think there are still seventy or eighty percent sure that the Xuan family will be pulled to our side. ”
Yang Chen didn't feel a little moved by his brother's words at this time, after all, there was no harm in doing so for the county government, so he nodded and said, "In that case, Erlang, please go and talk to the people of the Xuan family." Hope they can really help us! ”
"Heh......" Xuan Weixin, the head of the Xuan family, who was drinking and talking with his younger brother Xuan Weisen, suddenly opened his mouth and sneezed loudly. He looked at the closed doors and windows, and couldn't help muttering: "Who is thinking about me...... is this" At this time, people always have an opinion, thinking that if he sneezes for no reason, someone must be thinking about him.
Xuan Weisen smiled and poured a glass of wine for his brother before he said: "At this time, I will think of you, eldest brother, and there are only a few of them." In the past month, their life has not been easy, maybe their Li family will have a bad time this year. ”
"Hmph, you deserve it!" Xuanwei Xinzi took a sip of wine, picked up another piece of meat and chewed it, and then continued with some schadenfreude: "When Xuanchuang had an accident in the county government that day, didn't they stand by and watch? This time they suffered themselves, and I want to see what they can do if something happens to them this time. ”
Xuan Weisen also laughed a few times, but then said with some puzzlement: "To be honest, I feel that this time things are really strange." We were restrained before, but because the incident happened suddenly, we accidentally got into the way for a while, and we had no chance to react at all. But the Li family is different, in this long month, they have been constantly at the mercy of the county government, but they have not seen any counterattack, which is really not like their style. ”
"What's so strange about that, who told it was winter? If it was the summer and autumn season, the county government would dare to do this, and the Li family would have already counterattacked with the autumn tax grain. But now that he has just finished harvesting the autumn grain, his Li family has no chips in his hand, how can he fight with Yang County Ling, who has incited public opinion? In any case, we are just people. Xuan Weixin guessed with some disdain.
"Although there is some truth in the words of the eldest brother, it is not enough to explain everything. The younger brother always feels that they have other plans......" Xuan Weisen said with some uneasiness.
"Plans? Speaking of which, they have met with Xu Tongzhou and Boss Xu a few times recently, and it seems that they are discussing the purchase of a large amount of grain. Is this their backhand? "Just like Yang Zhen said, when it comes to understanding the Li family, you have to count the people of the Xuan family. Although Li Chenggang is careful, he still can't escape the eyes and ears of the Xuan family.
"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with it." Xuan Weisen touched his beard with some doubts, and muttered for a long time: "By the way, eldest brother, in addition to food, his Li family seems to have something as important as it is in our county." Do you think he's going to hit this thing's idea? ”
"You mean?" Xuan Weixin was reminded by him like this, his eyes suddenly opened, revealing a look of surprise: "No...... He had to lose his heart and go crazy to dare to do such a thing? ”
