Afternoon, June 18th

Wang Shihua sat alone in the living room, his eyes were empty, and he was obviously in a daze.

Uncle Jiang came in and was about to open his mouth to report the events of the past two days, when he saw that Wang Shihua was alone in a daze as before, he didn't dare to disturb, so he had to sit aside silently.

Ah Xia, who was making insoles with Wu's mother in the back of the living room, heard the noise in front of her, and saw that it was Uncle Jiang through the crack in the door, and quickly poured a cup of hot tea and brought it over, and only then did Wang Shihua come back to his senses.

After taking a sip of tea from the teacup, he said with a smile: "Uncle Jiang, how are things going?" ”

"Back to the young master, the details of the marriage have been discussed with the other party. Early this morning, the old slave personally sent the people of the Zhang family away. ”

The old housekeeper for many years, there will be no problem with this matter, Wang Shihua just asked in passing.

"Uncle Jiang, I've been worried about the replies of the other two in my heart, but it's been two or three days, and they haven't moved at all, what do you mean by them? Is there a name for it? ”

On the 15th, the matter with the Tian family began on the evening of the finishing work: Zhang Wentian came forward to send a telegram to Commander Chen, the overseer of Xiangxi, explaining that the Zhang family had no intention of meddling in Commander Chen's territory, and Zhang Qinghai, the second son of the Zhang family, led troops to escort the old housekeeper to the Wang family to discuss the details of the marriage...... Wang Ji'an wrote to the other two families for the same reason.

As a result, Commander Chen called back politely with three points of anger, claiming that he had no way to govern, and was thinking about exterminating Qinghua Village, but he didn't expect to bother Commander Zhang.

Commander Chen was nominally the king of Xiangxi, but his actual control area had not yet reached Jiangyin County. Wang Shihua didn't pay attention to his words at all, but was worried about the other two families, which were the enemies around him. And it's been two or three days since the incident, and there is no reply.

Uncle Jiang put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Young Master, you don't need to worry at all. No reply is a reply. ”

When Wang Shihua heard this, he came to his senses, walked to the chair next to Uncle Jiang and sat down, and said with a smile: "Uncle Jiang, tell me carefully about the doorway here." ”

"Young Master, although the four major families have always followed: outsiders are not allowed to meddle in the internal affairs of the four major families, otherwise they will be attacked together. But when it is really implemented, unless the person with a foreign surname really fights to the death with one of the four major families, or wants to seize one of them, this is tantamount to challenging the class interests of the four major families, and at that time, everyone will fight together. Taking this incident as an example, the old slave dared to conclude that this matter could not be resolved in the end, mainly for two reasons: First, the Zhang family fought in the name of suppressing bandits this time, and did not really participate in the internal struggle between the children of the two families, which gave the other two families an excuse to shirk. Although everyone understands in their hearts that Qinghuazhai belongs to the Tian family, bandits are bandits, and it is the duty of the officials and soldiers to exterminate bandits. Second, young master, you think, the Xiang family has always regarded the county seat as their own territory, but the Tian family has continued to infiltrate it over the years, and now the county magistrate is his Tian family. Although the Xiang family did not fight back on the surface, he must be holding his breath in his heart, and he just waited for the time to settle the general account with the Tian family. We fought with the Tian family, and it would be good if he didn't take the opportunity to stab the Tian family in the back of the Tian family's buttocks, and how could he help the Tian family, so the meaning of not speaking out to the family was a disguised encouragement to our Wang family, and the purpose was to use our hands to weaken the strength of the Tian family. And the Li family's power does not border with us, knowing that even if he has an opinion, we will not sell his face, and if Xiang Jia does not speak out, he will definitely not come out. In this way, no reply from the two is the best reply. ”

Wang Shihua's eyes flickered when he heard this, and he asked excitedly: "Uncle Jiang, what you mean by this, we can form an alliance with the Xiang family in private and attack the Tian family together?" ”

Wang Ji'an has a total of four sons, who are the generation of the word 'world', and they are ranked according to 'glory, glory, wealth, and nobility'. But Wang Ji'an was brave and fierce when he was young, he was seriously injured and never recovered, and he put all his energy on the family's major affairs over the years, and rarely disciplined his sons. In a way, Uncle Jiang is not so much Wang Shihua's housekeeper as he is Wang Shihua's life mentor.

Uncle Jiang glanced at Wang Shihua and said, "Young Master, you must remember: in this world, only interests are the most reliable, and everything must be guarded against." From an outsider's point of view, our four major families are very united, but in fact, you know the situation. Therefore, whether you form an alliance with the Xiang family or the Zhang family, it is just one of the alliances and verticals, and in the final analysis, it is just for the interests of your own family. Therefore, young master, you will do things in the future, you must leave the hole cards in your hand, not life and death, can not move lightly, once the hole cards are shown, you must move forward bravely, do not play the opponent can not turn over, must not stop. Especially in the interests of the family, when it is time to turn around and kill, you must be ruthless and not hesitate at all, otherwise, you will only suffer in the end. Like Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, King Wu and King Yue, if they slaughtered each other as soon as they saw each other, how could they lose later? ”

"Uncle Xie Jiang's teachings, Shihua keeps them in mind."

"Huh! Scold! The young master didn't blame the old slave for talking too much. ”

"Shihua, Shihua......" The two were talking happily, Jiang Shou had not yet arrived, and the voice arrived first. When Uncle Jiang, who has always adhered to respect and humility, heard this title, his face immediately turned pale, and he stared at the door with gritted teeth.

Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Shoucheng entered the door, he saw Daddy's angry look, and without thinking about it, he turned around and ran.

"Rebel, get back to me!"

Jiang Shoucheng lowered his head, stepped on small steps, and slowly entered the door.

"Report the matter to the young master first."

"Yes!" Jiang Shoucheng obediently saluted Wang Shihua and said, "Young Master Qiyu, sure enough, as you said, early this morning, the people of the Tian family openly helped to start rebuilding Qinghua Village. ”

"The Tian family is really neat."

"Also, the place you asked me to choose has already been chosen, in the small village of the family where you last begged for water."

Last time, Zhang Qinghai captured thousands of prisoners from Qinghua Village, mostly old and weak women and children, and the Wang family didn't want to support the Tian family. Therefore, 87 young and middle-aged people were willing to stay with Peng Peng, none of them were surnamed Tian, and there were about 200 people with their families. After the others were driven back to Tian's house, the two hundred people were always arranged in the inn and the cargo station. In order to settle them as soon as possible, Wang Shihua asked Jiang Shoucheng to choose a place, which could be regarded as a kind of hostage placement, because Wang Shihua had already figured out how to use these people.

"That place is the only avenue between Longtang Town and Wangjiaping, these people have not been tested, how can they rest assured that they live on the side of the main road? What if they have bad intentions and block the road at a critical moment? When Uncle Jiang heard this, he objected.

This is what Lao Cheng said, Wang Shihua also felt bad, nodded and said: "I remember that there is a small abandoned village eight miles behind that village, and you set the location there." ”

"Yes!"

"They just threw in, and people's hearts are not stable, you have to prepare everything that should be given, and you can't make them feel sorry."

"From wood to food and clothing, I have already harvested everything, and I will wait for the selected place to pull it all over." After speaking, Jiang Shoucheng bowed his head a little embarrassed and said, "It's just ......"

"What's it?"

"It's just that Young Master Shirong has to follow, saying that he wants to personally ** his future subordinates."

Wang Shihua's brows also furrowed: Although there is no talk of an eldest son now, the ideas that have been passed down for thousands of years are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Wang Shirong took the initiative to give up the position of head of the family, and now he just wants to prepare some manpower in advance for the future to be a big bandit, or an outsider, this requirement is not allowed, it is indeed a bit excessive. But in Wang Shihua's plan, these bandits will still be bandits in the future, but they have to obey Wang Shihua's secret control, which can make trouble for the Tian family, and at least make the rebuilt Qinghua Village unable to take into account the future struggle between the Wang and Tian families, and it will be useful to contain Zuò; Second, the revenge of Rolling Stone Gang has not been avenged, and using bandits to deal with bandits can not only avoid direct conflict with the Zhao family on the surface, but also protect the trade route between Longtang Town and Zhangjiabao.

If Wang Shirong becomes the leader of this group of bandits, then there will be no way for both sides to retreat, and every one of them will have to be put on the bright side, so it is better to directly make it clear to the other party.

"You go and sue Sù Shirong, this team was originally prepared for him, but now is not the time. If he has to contact it, he can do it, but he must not use the name Wang Shirong. Let him choose. "Generally speaking, if a direct descendant of the family clan becomes a bandit, the family will immediately send someone to greet the other three families, indicating that they have expelled the person from the clan and so on. Although everyone knows what is going on, this face-saving effort must be done, otherwise, after the government investigates it, a crime of gangsters will not be able to escape. Once the government suppresses the bandits, the family cannot openly support them. Tian Hezi is a living example, Qinghua Village was wiped out by Zhang Qinghai, but the Tian family did not dare to help support, this is the truth.

Although Wang Shirong wants to explore the rivers and lakes, he is still a little younger, and he is reluctant to protect his family. No, as soon as he heard Wang Shihua's words, he rushed back in the evening.

Seeing that Wang Shihua was eating, he was not polite, grabbed the wine bottle and drank it with his neck up, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and smiled at Ah Xia on the side: "Brother and sister, what are you doing?" The eldest brother was in a hurry, so he filled the bowl of rice for the eldest brother. ”

"Okay!" Ah Xia now likes others to admit her identity, and she smiles when she hears the words of the second lady. Hearing Wang Shirong call himself his younger brother and sister, he got up and went to serve dinner.

"Shihua, are you really going to expel my clan?"

Seeing Wang Shihua's gloomy eyes and a faint murderous intent floating in his face, Wang Shihua frowned: "Who did you listen to?" ”

"Shoucheng said."

"You're a melon braincase, huh? Why don't you think about things when you encounter them? If nothing else, let me ask you first, am I qualified to expel you? ”

Wang Shirong was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. Laughing and laughing, his face turned cold, and he stood up murderously and said, "Damn, you dare to provoke the relationship between you and my brother before you become the chief manager." Shihua, you sit down first, I'll go and slaughter his whole family, and then I'll have a good drink with you when I come back. ”
