0019 Asking for Directions (5)
Liu Jing picked up a glass of wine, didn't drink it, looked at the wine glass and asked slowly: "Who is the county guard of this Zhuo County, how are the people, how many families are there in the county, and what is the power?" What about their relationship with each other? ”
Xue Sanye's heart was still hanging in his throat at the moment, he was afraid that Liu Jing would ask some deviant and strange questions to embarrass himself, and then find a way to make himself right, but when he heard Liu Jing ask this question, he was relieved, and hurriedly replied: "Our county guard of Zhuo County is amazing, he is the son of the imperial family, the youngest son of Liu Yan, the assassin of Youzhou, Liu Zhang."
But Liu Zhang, a little timid and afraid, if it weren't for his father's light, he really couldn't control these families in Zhuo County. Even so, there are some things in Zhuo County, he always asks his lord Bo Zhang Song. ”
After Liu Jing heard this, he pondered in his heart, frowned and asked, "Who is this Zhang Song?" ”
Xue Sanye heard Liu Jing ask about Zhang Song, and a trace of green light suddenly appeared in his eyes, only to see him happily said: "Hehe, not barbaric Liu Gong, speaking of this Zhang Song, the contemptible person can also help you introduce it."
This person used to be from a neighboring village with me, and he was knowledgeable, intelligent, and quick-witted, and he was a rare talent.
Liu Jing heard Xue Sanye's words, knowing that he wanted to talk about this person's shortcomings, but he was afraid that he Liu Jing would despise him for saying bad things about people, so a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said easily: "But it doesn't matter, you just have to tell the truth, the more detailed it is, the more useful it will be to me!" ”
Xue Sanye paused and continued: "But this person is six feet tall, not tall, and has a pockmarked face, but his appearance is a little ugly, but he is very bold, and he likes to make friends with people with lofty ideals!" ”
Liu Jing laughed out loud and said to Xue Sanye: "The ancients are Changyun, aren't people who know people by their appearance sages?" It is rumored that the old master Confucius has a strange appearance, but people are not all over the world, famous all over the world, and the sound moves the land of Kyushu? ”
Xue Sanye reluctantly echoed with a smile: "Yes, yes, what Liu Gong said is right, what Liu Gong said is right!" ”
Liu Jing ignored him, picked up a glass of wine, and said to Xue Sanye: "Come, let's do this glass of wine, you continue to tell me about the big families in Zhuo County!" ”
Xue Sanye hurriedly raised his wine glass and said, "Okay!" So he craned his neck, drank his glass of wine, and continued: "Let's Zhuojun, don't look at the big place, but there are no big families and clans, only some local family forces.
Among them, the Xu family in the south city, the Zhang family in the west city, and the Zou family in the north city, these three families secretly monopolized the political and business resources of Zhuo County, and controlled the political and business worlds of Zhuo County. On the surface, they are not obvious, but in fact, behind the scenes, no one can play with them, and there is no other force that can compete with them.
Among them, the most powerful is the Zou family in the northern city, because the Zou family has a great character! That's incomparable to the other two! ”
Liu Jing was interested when he heard this, and he vaguely remembered that it was written in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that at the beginning of the troubled times, the deputy general of Youzhou Taishou Liu Yan had a surname Zou, who seemed to be called Zou Jing, so he couldn't help but interject: "Characters? What kind of character is there in the Zou family? Could it be that he is Liu Yan's deputy, named Zou Jing? ”
Xue Sanye was shocked when he heard that Liu Jing had brought Zou Jing out so lightly, you must know that even the local people in Zhuo County did not know Zou Jing, let alone Liu Jing, an outsider.
And this outsider actually clearly knows the powerful characters of the Zou family, and he is so understated, can Xue Sanye's heart not be surprised? At this moment, he began to be in awe of Liu Jing's background.
So Xue Sanye's heart tightened and hurriedly replied: "Yes, yes, yes!" Liu Gong is right, this person is Captain Zou Jing! Speaking of this, Xue Sanye had a heart, and did not forget to say tentatively: "Liu Gong really has extraordinary experience, and even Captain Zou knows him, Xue Sanye really has no eyes, no eyes, and he mistook Liu Gong!" ”
Liu Jing knew that this was Xue Sanye, an old slippery head, who was testing him, so Liu Jing didn't want Xue Sanye, so he wrote lightly: "This is nothing, I know more, and you are even more surprised to come, you continue!" ”
Xue Sanye didn't dare to slack off, and continued to introduce: "The Zou family is powerful but not arrogant, they don't look down on those false names, and the people of the family are also very low-key, but they quietly control more than sixty percent of the political resources in Zhuo County.
In the business world, they only account for less than 20%, and the Zou family also has a family motto that does not allow too many Zou family members to do business, as long as they can maintain the strength of the family. ”
When Liu Jing heard this, he couldn't help but nod and agreed: "Well, be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, the people of the Zou family are very careful and steady!" ”
Xue Sanye glanced at Liu Jing and saw that he was still listening, so he continued: "On the contrary, the Xu family and the Zhang family are just the opposite, the two of them are loyal to earning wealth, especially the Xu family in the southern city, especially the Nancheng Xu family, especially in order to grab wealth, they do not hesitate to use all means.
And the Zhang family in Xicheng is relatively low-key, and their means of plundering wealth are better than those of the Xu family! ”
Liu Jing smiled when he heard this, and couldn't help asking, "Gao Ming?" is also plundering wealth, where is his Zhang family smart? Is it possible to combine the underworld and the white way? ”
Unexpectedly, Liu Jing's inadvertent interjection hit the key point of the Zhang family's wealth, and Xue Sanye began to admire Liu Jing in his heart. I saw him give him a thumbs up and praise Liu Jing: "Oh, Liu Gong is really wise, you are right, the Zhang family is using the protection of the underworld to collect money!" Because Baidao is controlled by the Zou family, neither of them can be inserted!
And if you want to compare the Xu family with the Zhang family, the Zhang family is even better, because they have a lot of power in the underworld, and this is where the Xu family can't compare! Therefore, if these three families are compared with each other, the Zou family in Beicheng is powerful and ranks first, the Zhang family in Xicheng is much weaker than the Zou family, and finally the Xu family in Nancheng has the smallest power and ranks third. ”
Liu Jing listened to Xue Sanye's introduction with a nose and eyes, and he was also roughly clear about the power and relationship between the three families.
Liu Jing casually touched the ten taels of silver on the table, and put it in Xue Sanye's hand at once, and said with a slight smile on his face: "Okay, Tang Zhou, Xue Sanye's next pastime today is arranged by you, let Xue Sanye have fun!" ”
Tang Zhou stood up with a smile, bowed to Xue Sanye, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Duke Liu, leave it to me!" ”
In this way, Liu Jing explored the background of the Xu family, and also knew Xu Wen's attitude, and he also had a number in his heart.
After returning to the Drunken Immortal Building, Liu Jing didn't fall asleep all night, because he was thinking about a person, a person Xue Sanye had just introduced, this person was very important for Liu Jing to solve the conflict with Xu Wen.
