Chapter 415: Satisfactory Settlement
Hanging the fake Feng Baoguo's head on the city, Wang Shihua put up with this matter for the time being.
thought that this matter had achieved the effect of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys, after all, it was Zhao Jiazhai who took the initiative to loosen the head. However, I don't know how the matter spread, it was passed around, and finally it evolved into multiple versions, and the most recognized version by opium dealers was: the Wang family did not dare to attack the people with the background, or Zhao Jiazhai gave the Wang family a step for the sake of the interests of the business circle.
And it is precisely because of this version that the evil consequences come.
Early morning of December 7th.
"Fly~! Fly......"
"Ahh Yikes! Boom......"
Wang Shihua put his eldest daughter Wang Jincui on his shoulders and ran around the yard shouting. Wang Jincui was not only not afraid, but also laughed happily, like Zhang Cuiyun, it was a "giggle" laughter.
Zhang Cuiyun, who was watching this cheerful scene under the eaves, reminded with some worry while laughing: "Shihua! Slow down, be careful of falling......"
The joy and cheerfulness did not last long, because Uncle Jiang came.
Uncle Jiang stood aside with a smile and didn't speak, but as soon as Wang Shihua saw him, he knew that something was wrong.
Holding the child to Zhang Cuiyun, Wang Jincui was still dissatisfied and grabbed Wang Shihua's sleeve, screaming in her mouth, which made people hurt and love. Wang Shihua kissed her on the forehead and said with a smile: "Daddy will take you to play next time, okay?" ”
"How can a child understand when he is so young? You've got to get busy beforehand. ”
Wang Shihua took the handkerchief handed by the maid and wiped his hands, then nodded to Uncle Jiang and walked towards the study.
"Uncle Jiang, what's wrong?"
"The head of the family, there are opium dealers who ignored our warnings and went to my king's land to peddle opium, and we caught him."
Wang Shihua stopped his pace, turned to look at Uncle Jiang, and asked, "Was it caught during the transaction, or was it caught when he was peddling?" ”
The Wang family only did not allow the people in the area under their jurisdiction to grow and smoke opium, but allowed others to transport opium to pass by, so this point must be asked clearly.
"I caught it in the Three Tigers Village, and I didn't get rid of one on either side."
Wang Shihua nodded and waited for the following.
"An opium dealer and four bodyguards, the opium dealer said that he had just returned from selling cigarettes in Chongqing, and he didn't know the order issued by our Wang family...... Although he lives on the territory of the Xiang family, Lao Jing pointed out that this person is actually a member of the Li family, this time, it is estimated that the Li family can't help but make the first move, wanting to test the reaction of our Wang family, but it is not good to be the first bird in public, so he came to such a plan to kill two birds with one stone. ”
Needless to say, if you don't kill, the key lies in the dual identity of this person: after all, he is a member of the Xiang family on the surface, if you want to kill him, the Xiang family will definitely be dissatisfied. Even if the Xiang family knows the true identity of this person, but others don't know it, they will think that this person is a member of the Xiang family. Regardless of whether it was before or after the killing, it was impossible for the Xiang family to say that this person was a member of the Li family, in this case, wouldn't it weaken the reputation of the first family of the Xiang family? To put it bluntly, this person is the stepping stone thrown by the Li family: he can not only test the bottom line of the Wang family's ban on smoking, but also make the Xiang and Wang families fight against each other, without exposing themselves, and happily fanning the flames behind his back.
"Are you sure it's someone sent to the Xiang family by the Li family?"
"Lao Jing said that he had already found out the true identity of this person, but he just thought that one day he might be of great use, so he never broke it." Needless to say, it must be a chess piece that he deliberately left behind at a critical moment to use this person's dual identity to cause chaos to the Xiang and Li families. It's just that I didn't expect the Li family to start this chess piece first.
This is the evil result brought by Feng Baoguo that time: You are not good to offend the people of Zhaojiazhai, now, how do you treat the Li family? The key is to deal with this problem, and the people below don't dare to call the shots. Of course, this is also the infighting drama of the four major families: no matter whether what the other party does has anything to do with them or not, as long as they feel that it is beneficial to the other party and they have loopholes to exploit, they must add chaos to the other party, or even destroy it.
Wang Shihua nodded and said, "Whether he is from the Li family or the Xiang family, I have been called by him, since he doesn't give face, then I don't need to give them the lining, just do what I want." By the way, who on our side is buying opium from them? ”
"It's a broken settlement in Sanhu Village." The broken household is an old bachelor whose father and mother are dead, and his wife and children have either run away or are also dead.
"Someone?"
"All kneeling outside the gate."
Wang Shihua thought for a while and said, "There is no need for trial, just go to the street to parade the public, and then drag it to the execution ground and wait." Let Uncle Jing bring me the relevant information about this person. Then I sent someone to inform the three of them, and I told them that I would invite them to come and see the killing, and they would not wait for the expiration date. ”
At breakfast, He Mei smiled and asked, "Little bastard, you have an angry face early in the morning, who provoked you again?" ”
Wang Shihua opened his mouth and was about to say it, but his mind suddenly remembered the words that Zhang Cuiyun reminded him last night, and immediately shook his head and smiled: "It's okay!" It's just that I was woken up early in the morning by Niu Niu, and I was in a bad mood. ”
He Mei immediately looked at Zhang Cuiyun, and saw that Zhang Cuiyun's eyes were smiling, so she didn't think much about it.
After He Mei withdrew her gaze, Zhang Cuiyun glanced at Wang Shihua approvingly, looked at Wang Shihua with each other, and smiled, quite a bit of a husband and wife who were 'well-connected'.
Wang Shihua bluntly said that if he invited three families to come and see him killing, even a pig could guess: This is definitely not simple. Whether you understand or don't understand the truth, come quickly.
"Shihua, what do you mean when you asked me to come and see you kill?" Tian's family is the closest to Lao Sicheng, and the horse sends a message early in the morning, and when Tian Jiafu arrives, it is just in time for lunch.
"I don't have any meaning, I just want to ask you to help me testify."
"It's all right to be a witness, but who are you going to kill?"
Wang Shihua smiled and didn't answer, but raised his wine glass and touched it with Tian Jiafu, and drank it all. Tian Jiafu also smiled, and after taking a sip of wine, he never mentioned this time, and instead talked about the wind and snow.
In fact, the four major families have planted spies in other families, this is an open secret, and Tian Jiafu must have asked someone before he arrived. In the morning, the opium dealer, his four bodyguards, and the Wang family's broken household, a total of six people, were paraded in the streets and publicized in public, and it was difficult to keep Tian Jiafu from knowing. The reason why there is such a question is just to maintain everyone's face: this kind of thing, if it is punctured, no one's face is good-looking, it is better to point to the end!
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Shihua was inviting Tian Jiafu to listen to the play in the hall, and Xiang Dingtian arrived.
"Shihua, I heard that you want to kill my people from the Xiang family?" Xiang Dingtian was really straightforward, and asked very unceremoniously when they met.
Wang Shihua smiled, asked the other party to sit down, and said, "Whether it is your Xiang family, you know better than me." Dingtian, everyone understands people, so don't pretend to be confused. I'm helping you remove a nail, if you don't thank me, forget it, why do you blame me in turn? ”
Don't ask me about conditions, I'm in a bad mood, so as not to hurt the harmony.
Xiang Dingtian glanced at Tian Jiafu, smiled, didn't answer, and instead picked up the teacup and watched the play with peace of mind.
After another hour, Li Honghui arrived.
"Shihua, I heard that you want to kill the people of the Xiang family?" Li Honghui came with a smile on his face, and after asking, he didn't give Wang Shihua a chance to speak, and said with a smile: "This is your fault, if you want to kill the people of the Xiang family, you should also kill them quietly, so openly, you are not afraid that Dingtian will find you desperate?" ”
While sitting down, he nodded to Ding Tian and asked, "Ding Tian, are you right?" ”
Xiang Dingtian smiled and didn't make a sound.
Wang Shihua replied lightly: "Hong Hui, who this Tian Lao Wu is, you know better than me." ”
Li Honghui was about to open his mouth, but Wang Shihua took the lead and said: "Since you don't recognize him as your person, then whether I kill him or not seems to have nothing to do with you, right?" ”
All three were silent. And what Wang Shihua wants is this effect: in this way, it can not only achieve the effect of deterring Xiaoxiao, but also make Li Honghui dumb and eat Coptis chinensis -- he knows that he is suffering!
"Since you're all silent, please!" Wang Shihua made a gesture of invitation while standing up, and said, "Originally, I changed the execution ground to the west of the town, but in order to allow the three of them to give me a witness, and for convenience, the place of execution was outside the city. Three, please! ”
After speaking, Wang Shihua took the lead and walked out with his hands behind his back.
On the way, Li Honghui was still a little unwilling, and pulled Xiang Dingtian to deliberately slow down his pace and walk at the rear.
"Dingtian, are you really so indifferent to watching Wang Shihua kill your Xiang family?"
Xiang Dingtian smiled at Li Honghui and didn't answer.
"The man who killed you right in front of your eyes, and you return it as a witness, and this will be spread, where will you put your face?"
Xiang Dingtian glanced at Li Honghui, and then at Wang Shihua, but still didn't say anything.
"Are you afraid when you see that the Wang family is getting stronger and stronger?"
"Enough!" Xiang Dingtian was finally annoyed by Li Honghui's endless instigation, looked at Li Honghui angrily, and said in a deep voice: "Li Honghui, you know better than me who that Tian Lao Wu is. Don't pretend to be confused with Lao Tzu. ”
As he spoke, he walked quickly to Wang Shihua, hugged his fists and said: "Shihua, if you want a personal favor, that Tian Lao Wu will be handed over to me to take away, and I will give you a satisfactory explanation when I turn around." How is it? ”
After speaking, he turned around and glared at Li Honghui, who came over, and sneered: "It's not that I'm afraid of anyone, but that I'm Xiangjia can't be used as a gun, lest someone really think that I'm Xiangjia and don't know the truth of the matter." ”
Wang Shihua looked at Ding Kun with a smile, then at Li Honghui, and said with a smile: "We are friends, since you have a request, I naturally can't refuse." For your sake, I'm not going to send anyone to raid his house. But, Dingkun, you have to send me the head. ”
"Tomorrow before sunset, it will be delivered. Leave! ”
Seeing Xiang Dingtian leaving angrily, Wang Shihua hurriedly asked Jiang Shoucheng to follow him to pick up people.
Tian Jiafu's eyes flickered and he looked between the three of them, looking very meaningful.
Li Honghui smiled a little embarrassedly, hugged Wang Shihua, and left.
Wang Shihua quickly followed, and whispered to Li Honghui: "Hong Hui, it's not me who talks about you, next time you want to block my Wang family and Xiang family, so I can send someone smarter, but don't send a drunkard again." Just that Tian Lao Wu, after drinking a few sips of horse urine, shouted all over the world how the Xiang family was inferior to the Li family, and I was afraid that others would not know that he was a spy you sent to the Xiang family. ”
Li Honghui stopped his steps, turned his head and glanced at Wang Shihua angrily: he thought that this was a secret, and the Li family could be invincible no matter what, so he came to see the play, and by the way, he watched a group of fools who were kept in the dark fighting. I never thought that I was the fool who was kept in the dark, and I didn't know the intention of instigating others and being treated as a clown, how could he not be annoyed and ashamed?
Immediately, the pace was accelerated, and there was a great intention to hide his face and leave.
Tian Jiafu hugged Wang Shihua and quickly chased Li Honghui......
Tian Lao Wu was handed over to Xiang Dingtian, but the remaining five people were not so lucky, they were all cut off and hung on the city gate.
