Chapter 137: When it's coming, no one wants to sit back and enjoy it
Originally, Wu Shicheng just wanted to do something to sit back and enjoy his success, thinking about the Xiang family's ability, what are the difficulties in solving a Su Zedong and his Dongzhen company?
But later, Wu Shicheng, Tan Zhen, Zhou Yan and others saw that Xiang Feng and the Killing Alliance, who were originally very arrogant and powerful in the eyes of outsiders, were caught off guard by Su Zedong and the forces behind them, such as Rudongzhen Company, Juyitang or Mingjiao.

Due to the temptation of money, Wu Shicheng finally obtained Zhang Shide's consent, and sent more domestic slaves and family members in his house to help Xiang Feng and his killing alliance with the guys, wanting to come to a pot, but instead of thinking about it, he lost his wife and broke his soldiers!
However, Xiang Feng has been completely defeated by Su Zedong in terms of situation and momentum, that is, whether it is from the open fight or the secret fight, or the civil fight or the martial fight, the battle between the two has been clear; Even Xiang Feng, who was arrogant, hid himself.
But Xiang Feng, who hadn't seen each other for more than a month, told himself about this righteous and risky thing as soon as he came up, Wu Shicheng was really unacceptable for a while, and quickly shook his head and refused.
Who is Xiang Feng? He himself is the eldest brother of the Xiang family, and he himself is also pretentious, and he regards himself as the number one person, how can he care about other people's thoughts;
Xiang Feng, who suffered a big loss from Su Zedong, didn't care whether the pot-bellied and fat-headed Wu Shicheng in front of him was willing or unwilling, since he dared to take the first step and do business with the people of the Xiang family, he had to abide by the doorway.
In fact, to put it bluntly, Xiang Feng just wants Wu Shicheng to go to the black with him!
Xiang Feng laughed and said, "General Wu, you can't say this!" I think that when you collected my family's money that day, I didn't see you so indignant! How? It's not the first time that you, General Wu, have done this traitorous affair. ”
Wu Shiben himself doesn't have much ability, and the position of being a general today, and being able to manage more than 10,000 soldiers and horses is also his sworn brothers, and being able to call Lu Zhen a brother and sister, in fact, has little to do with his personal ability.
Of course, with the brothers setting up a platform for themselves, Wu Shicheng also has his own ability or deeds to do things and cling to the powerful people in the court.
Then he helped him suppress his rebellion, and he did it and played it all by means of framing him and denunciating him, and there were many rebels who were originally salt sellers. What's wrong with it is that these are tacit things for the powerful and powerful.
But as soon as Wu Shicheng made it, all their unsightly things were brought to the table, and even if Zhang Shicheng was soft-hearted and wanted to remember his fellow villagers or peers, they would not have the face to stay.
All, in the eyes of the powerful people who have gained more benefits because of his toss, Wu Shicheng is a very capable play, and he can be regarded as a play with a bit of body style and singing voice, and can sing and perform some plays that make him comfortable!
But Wu Shicheng has done so many things, even if it is a hurtful thing, it is all for the sake of serving the magnates in Zhang Shicheng's court, but this time, Xiang Feng seems to want to play his trick and threaten himself with the fact that he has bribed and bribed!
Wu Shicheng was about to turn his face on the spot, his eyes were round and he looked at Xiang Feng angrily, and said, "Xiang Feng, do you really think of yourself as a thing?" If it weren't for the face of your and other Xiang families, who would take care of you in the court and make you an official? Who wants to give you the convenience and let you scavenge? ”
Xiang Feng sneered for a while, was silent, and listened to Wu Shicheng point to his nose again and scolded: "Is it that you have no ability at all, you can't fight Su Zedong, and you still want to push all the problems on me Wu someone, and you still want to pull me into the water together?" Just kidding, come on, serve tea! ”
In ancient times, drinking tea was very particular, if the host wanted to invite guests to drink tea, first of all, it would not be in this context and state of mind, and the tea drinking in ancient times was very exquisite, more complicated than the more than 50 processes of the Japanese tea ceremony in later generations, and belonged to the art of elegant people.
Wu Shicheng's house has tea sets and a special room for tea for guests, and he still spent a lot of money to build, but he is a salt seller, how can he be elegant and artistic? In fact, no matter how expensive, luxurious, and beautiful the decoration is, it can't make up for the hollowness of its heart and realm.
At this time, the communication atmosphere between the two was so embarrassing, Wu Shicheng didn't drink tea, let alone taste tea, but he happened to know that asking someone to serve tea and letting guests drink tea meant sending guests.
Xiang Feng also doesn't drink tea, he thinks that his parents and grandparents drink tea when they feast at home for VIPs and those sour poor scholars, which is just to put on a façade and look more stylish, in his eyes, in the world of businessmen, time is very precious.
Spending a few hours drinking tea, Xiang Feng thought it was too much time waste, he couldn't do it; However, he also knows the doorway between drinking tea and inviting tea, it seems that he, an uninvited guest, suddenly asked, and really forced General Wu Shicheng to be anxious!
Hearing that Wu Shicheng had the intention of driving himself away, Xiang Feng unhurriedly told the story of their previous "friendship", that is, when they helped each other, they betrayed Zhang Shicheng's master, bullied the people, and killed innocents indiscriminately.
Xiang Feng's seemingly casual words made Wu Shicheng break out in a cold sweat all over his head, thinking that he was really still planted in his insatiable hands!
Wu Shicheng really regretted it, he knew very well when he entered the officialdom that he would inevitably be able to be reused by Zhang Shicheng as a military general, and with the help of his good buddies, it was not difficult to have a place in the court.
When Wu Shicheng first joined Zhang Shicheng's rebel army, his position was still very low, and he was still in the stage of working hard and working everywhere, so he was very cautious in handling things such as looting the people's fat and people's cream, colluding up and down, colluding with each other, and forming a party.
At that time, Wu Shicheng still knew that some people could ask for silver taels, and those people could not be shaken in their hearts even if they gave themselves gold and silver mountains, especially the Mongolian silver taels, and the thieves and robbers who survived by harming the people could not ask for them!
Among them, the Mongols can't ask for silver, Wu Shicheng has his own set of explanations in his heart, first of all: his foundation in Zhang Shicheng's court is not stable, so before he makes his career bigger, it is not worth burying his future for a little favor;
Secondly, to hook up with the Mongols is to go against Zhang Shicheng and his brothers! In this way, not only Zhang Shicheng will hate himself, but even his group of brothers will want to kill him.
At this point, Wu Shicheng is still relatively far-sighted and far-sighted, he knows that Zhang Shicheng's ambition will not be limited to small fights, so if he follows him, there will inevitably be food;
His analysis of this point is not groundless, although Wu Shicheng has not read any books, let alone has nothing to speak of at the spiritual level such as culture and literacy.
But his ears are not deaf, his eyes are not blind, judging from the fact that many Mongolians and Hui people often have close contacts with many of Zhang Shicheng's subordinates, and many of them are rejected, Wu Shicheng knows that the ambitions of Zhang Shicheng and his subordinates and cronies are not limited to this.
Therefore, what most others do, he will follow what he does, this will never be wrong, and the wrong will not be wrong, everyone does this, even if they die, there is a back......
And the second point is that you can't deal with bandits and thieves who make a living by oppressing and looting the people, first of all, because Wu Shicheng still thinks about his reputation, but he can't be treated by others as a group of barbarians who are enemies of the people for the sake of profit, and be their protective umbrella!
Wu Shicheng's official is small, but he also knows that after becoming an official, he can put on a layer of clothes and do what those robbers and bandits do.
And after that, it is reasonable and legal to do these things, even if it causes public resentment, public anger, and even civil unrest, there is also an official background to suppress it, so there is no need to be in the company of bandits and robbers!
The second is that Wu Shicheng thinks that being in the company of bandits and robbers will make his reputation stink; Thinking that he was still a petty official, when he was used as a gun by those big magnates, what he caught was the small "braids" of the hostile officials of the government, that is, the infamy and bad style of life.
Wu Shicheng knew very well at that time that if he wanted not to be caught by others, one of them was to wash himself clean; The second is to think of all the mistakes that the opponent may make and what he will do, and then press them on the "trumped-up" charges!
This trick is really tried and tested, and it gradually evolved into a stepping stone for Wu Shicheng to step into a higher official position.
But even if Wu Shicheng stepped on the dirty stones all the way, he could only regard the bad deeds of these officials as a foreshadowing of his career, rather than being vigilant and being a good official and a good general, then this is the choice of greed and honesty, as well as whether he has knowledge, morality and cultivation!
After stepping into a higher position, Wu Shicheng's vision and mind not only did not become broader and brighter, but also narrower and darker;
After having more powers, Wu Shicheng raised his brothers, the magnates, who had taken care of him before, to a higher position because of his "outstanding" performance, so that he had more rights and more control than his actual position.
Every time he captured a city, Wu Shicheng and his henchmen would ignore the orders of Zhang Shicheng, the boss, eating, drinking, and having fun, robbing people's daughters, and looting people's fat and ointment, etc., were not uncommon!
In this prosperous southern world relative to the north, they are enjoying the "glory and wealth" of the human world that they never dared to think of before.
Wu Shicheng became greedy, his previous way of dealing with the world really turned into a ball of waste paper, and after he settled in Gaoyou City, he ran away with the cold wind that blew!
After the expansion, Wu Shicheng, as a general under King Cheng, was the first to hook up with the people of the Xiang family, and then as the leader, he gave advice to Xiang Feng and dragged many powerful people in the court into the water.
