Wei Zheng's black and white eyes flashed with wisdom, and he analyzed it slowly and logically: "First, Shen Liusheng's power exceeded our original estimate, we originally thought that in this Jingxiang land, the Xiao family was a dominant family, but now it seems that Shen Liusheng's power here may even be stronger than Xiao Miao, and now Shen Liusheng has taken over the industry left by Xiao Miao, and he himself said that he would stay in Yingzhou, which can be described as a bad come." ”

"Before we find out the details of Shen Liusheng, I'm afraid we can't take action against him rashly, Wei Zhengwang's friend even found out Xiao Mo and Chen Ling clearly in the previous investigation, but he didn't know anything about this Shen Liusheng, he can only say that this person is really low-key here, and the opponent lurking in the shadows is always more terrifying than the enemy in the light."

Wang Shichong nodded: "Not bad." Go on. ”

Wei Zheng stood up and paced: "Second, although Shen Liusheng vigorously denied it in front of Ren Ze, it is impossible for him to have the support of a strong force behind him, if he is really the lord himself, it is impossible to personally go through the tunnel to discuss the specific handover with Lei Shimeng and these people, at best, he is just a pawn in the front desk." ”

"But let's think about the several forces that have appeared in Yingzhou City, Xiao Miao, Li Jing, Hu Sizheng, and Chen Ling, which one didn't take the initiative to indicate his identity and want to seek cooperation with us? It is Hu Sizheng, who has the least positive attitude, in front of us. In the end, I don't hide my true thoughts. ”

"Only this Shen Liusheng's backstage boss. But it is always hidden in the shadows. If it weren't for Friend Wang's relationship with the four major families in Yingzhou today, I'm afraid that we wouldn't know about the relationship between this person and Xiao Mo until now. ”

Wang Shichong looked stern and said: "Yes, Chen Ling's disclosure of his identity is also an accident, if Chen Ling is strict, Ren Ze has not hit a big luck today, I am afraid that Shen Liusheng's underground force will be hidden for a long time." ”

Wei Zheng nodded. continued to pace: "But this force doesn't want to have any cooperation with us now, even if we find out, Shen Liusheng doesn't want to admit that there are people behind him, let alone take the initiative to discuss cooperation like Xiao Mo and Li Jing, this is not normal." ”

Wang Shichong let out an "oh" and said in a deep voice: "What's abnormal?" ”

Wei Zheng smiled slightly: "Judging from Shen Liusheng's actions, he is ambitious, and he ate the shops of the four major families in Yingzhou at once, especially the rice shop and salt shop, and it can almost be said that he controls Yingzhou economically." Xiao Mo ran for four or five years, and all the forces in Yingzhou belonged to him. My lord, do you think this will be a simple businessman? ”

Wang Shichong laughed: "Of course not, I haven't found out the bottom of Shen Liusheng yet, but with such abundant financial resources and manpower, it is impossible without the support of one or several wealthy families behind it, Xiao Mo obviously made a deal with him, and let this Yingzhou and even the entire Xiangfan area of Jingzhou in the north be operated by this surnamed Shen, which shows that his backstage will at least not be weaker than that of Queen Xiao." ”

Wei Zheng nodded: "What the lord said is very true, the key now is that his backstage does not want to take the initiative to cooperate with us, and even hides his own existence, which shows that they would rather choose to cooperate with Xiao Mo than join forces with us, for this, Wei is also puzzled, it is said that they should know that we also have similar thoughts to Xiao Miao, and the power is above Xiao Miao, why should they refuse us thousands of miles away?" ”

Wang Shichong said thoughtfully: "Maybe this person doesn't have a good relationship with our family, or maybe he hasn't seen our strength clearly yet, and he is not in a hurry to expose his true face here." But fortunately, Shen Liusheng has been exposed, and then we can follow the vine and force the people behind Shen Liusheng to surface. ”

Wei Zheng smiled slightly: "Since the lord said this, he must have already had a countermeasure, can you let Wei hear it?" ”

Wang Shichong opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly stopped again and shook his head: "Let's take a look at Chen Ling's results with Shen Liusheng first." Since Shen Liusheng has been exposed to us and has shown his willingness to gain a foothold in this Yingzhou City, it cannot be ruled out that he will win over Chen Ling, who is relatively weak and easy to be fooled. ”

Wang Shichong glanced at Wang Renze, who was listening intently, and said: "Today, when Renze was coercing the four major families, he took the initiative to offer to use a part of the shop pΓΉ to trade, which shows that this person's way of thinking is to be willing to give up profits when necessary, in exchange for allies that are beneficial to him, even if it is only temporary cooperation. This is completely different from Xiao Mo and Chen Ling, who are unwilling to suffer even if they die, so they can't use the same methods to deal with Shen Liusheng. ”

Wei Zheng's face also became stern: "The lord is afraid that Chen Ling will turn against the water?" ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "Everything is possible, Chen Ling and Xiao Mo have already reached an agreement, after Xiao Mo left Yingzhou, he cooperated with Shen Liusheng, if it weren't for the tacit understanding between the two of us today, he felt that he was calculated by Shen Liusheng, plus he painted a lot of big cakes for him, and then lured him with five million heavy profits, Chen Ling would not choose to cooperate with us." ”

"But now it seems that the forces behind Shen Liusheng are also very strong, and even what we originally envisioned was not easy to completely squeeze him out of Yingzhou. I'm now worried that Shen Liusheng, or the mysterious force behind him, will not hesitate to sacrifice part of his own interests to maintain relations with such small characters as the four major families, not to mention Chen Ling, a hussar general who has been dealing with Yingzhou for a long time. ”

Wei Zheng smiled slightly: "What does the lord mean, will this Shen Liusheng offer a higher price than us?" Let Chen Ling turn his back on us again? ”

Wang Shichong didn't speak for a while, thought about it carefully, and finally sighed: "To be honest, before hearing Renze's report today, I didn't think that a horse dealer like Shen Liusheng would have the strength to confront us, I thought that his horses were all pack horses sold from the southwest, at best, he had some forces in the south." But the news that Ren Ze found out today made me feel it. We may have been too optimistic before. ”

"Shen Liusheng is not here to run the Northern War Horse. It's not necessarily that he doesn't have this channel, maybe it's just because he doesn't want to do it, after all, he couldn't talk about controlling Yingzhou before, he just had a business house here, but now this person has bought so many shops here at once, and his main energy has been completely transferred here, so he may not be able to operate this place as a nest in the future. When the time comes, there will be no reservations. ”

Wang Shichong said as he spoke, and the expression on his face became heavier and heavier. The brows gradually twisted into a Sichuan character, and the tiger's eyes were shining, and he obviously began to think intently.

Wang Ren, who hadn't spoken much, pondered for a moment and said, "Uncle, can you continue to put pressure on Lei Shimeng and the others, or go to catch up with Xiao Mo overnight, make some concessions to him, and allow Lei Shimeng and the others to stay here, it seems easier to deal with a few Xiao Miao's subordinates who are already in the Ming Dynasty than to deal with an unfathomable Shen Liusheng." ”

Wang Shichong heard this. He immediately stood up, his eyes shining brightly. He said sharply: "Never! There was a few undoubted resoluteness and decisiveness in his tone, which shook the chests of everyone in the hall.

Glancing at Wang Renze, who was a little at a loss, Wang Shichong smiled: "Renze, this is tantamount to showing weakness to that Xiao Milling and taking the initiative to tell him, we have no certainty of dealing with Shen Liusheng, and it will only fuel Xiao Mill's arrogance,"

"To deal with a careerist like Xiao Miao, you can only show strength, suppress his momentum, and then negotiate terms with him, otherwise as long as you show a little weakness, he will have to inch in, the lion will open his mouth, and even keep secretly shadowing you in the future cooperation process, and when he feels that you can't help or affect his safety, he will not hesitate to betray you and eradicate you."

"We had the upper hand in front of Xiao Mo and forced him to leave Yingzhou, and at that time we blamed me for being careless, and did not limit the properties of these shops after he withdrew from Yingzhou, even if he had reached an agreement with Shen Liusheng at that time to transfer these properties to Shen Liusheng, we could also use this to coerce him and force him to tell Shen Liusheng's details, Xiao Mo even betrayed his aunt, as long as he can cooperate with us, Shen Liusheng can also give up."

Wei Zheng smiled slightly, took over the conversation, and said to Wang Renze, who nodded again and again: "Renze, if the lord goes to find Xiao Mo now, it will be tantamount to admitting that we are not Shen Liusheng's opponents in Yingzhou, at least because I can't find out Shen Liusheng's details, so I need his help." ”

"And at that time, we were so resolute and powerful to drive away these four major families, but now we are asking people to come back, we can only describe it as a front and back Gong, if Xiao Mo thinks that we can't even deal with Shen Liusheng, then it is even more impossible to help us, and will only follow Shen Liusheng to suppress us and squeeze us out of Yingzhou, and at that time, even Queen Xiao in the court will step up to frame the lord."

Wang Renze's big bronze bell-like eyes blinked, and a trace of apology flashed on his face, and said, "I didn't think it through just now, and I talked nonsense, disturbing my uncle's train of thought, I'm sorry." ”

Wang Shichong waved his hand: "Renze, you are willing to take the initiative to think and help us think of ideas, it's too late for me to be happy, how can I blame you, at least you can help us veto a plan." ”

Wang Ren listened to Wang Shichong's words, his heart warmed, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

Wang Shichong glanced at Wei Zheng and said, "Xuan Cheng, now it seems that we can only hurry up and find out the details of Shen Liusheng first, before he comes to negotiate with us formally, we must be well informed, and in addition, we must now be prepared for Chen Ling to be wooed by Shen Liusheng again." ”

When Wang Shichong said this, he paused and said, "Is it Xiongxin who is staring at Chen Ling today?" ”

Wang Ren hurriedly said: "Yes, Xiongxin and I went out at the same time, he said that after Chen Ling returned to the city, he would follow him, because according to what we discussed yesterday, Chen Ling would go to Shen Liusheng as soon as possible, and Xiongxin would also secretly spy on their conversation." ”

Wang Shichong's face became solemn: "Xiongxin may be in danger now, and I will also go over." ”

Wei Zheng said: "Xiongxin has carried out so many secret missions, and nothing has happened, so there is no need for the lord to worry too much. ”

Wang Shichong shook his head, the expression on his face was resolute and abnormal: "This time is different, Shen Liusheng suffered a loss in Lei Mansion, and now he must be vigilant, no, I have to go to the Shen family firm in person." ”

Wei Zheng's face also changed slightly: "Lord, if you take the initiative to go to Shen Liusheng at this time, it will be tantamount to giving up the initiative in negotiation." It is we who go to them in a low manner. ”

Wang Shichong heard Wei Zheng say this. Hesitated slightly. still raised his head and said, "That's good, I'll change into night clothes, and now I'll go to spy on the Shen family's firm, and if I meet Xiongxin, I will have a response." ”

Zhang Jin, who had been unable to interject on the side, said immediately: "Lord, I can go, but you can sit quietly and don't take Xiongxin back." I will never come back to see you. ”

Wang Shichong laughed, patted Zhang Jincheng's shoulder, and his laughter revealed a sense of heroism and confidence: "There are too many people and it is easy to be exposed, so it will be hard for Jincheng to make a trip, Shen Liusheng borrowed a hundred dares from him and didn't dare to do anything to us, it really can't work, I don't believe that anyone there can stop Jin Cheng and Xiongxin." ”

Half an hour later, dressed as a night walker, carrying a heavy sword of Xuantie, only a pair of blazing tiger eyes were left Zhang Jincheng. Under the cover of the night, he touched into the Shen family's firm.

This is a two-way courtyard. It's not too big, the middle of the outside entrance is the living room, the two sides are where the account room is located, and the back one is mainly the warehouse and the wing, and the living rooms are lit one after another, and the window paper can be printed out one by one.

Zhang Jin said that he has also been walking for many years, and he has also exchanged a lot of experience with Wei Zheng about eavesdropping and surveillance, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, whether it is strength or light skills, he can be called first-class, when he practiced his muscles and bones since he was a child, he was forced by Yang Su to make a medicine wine vat, and he practiced the technique of holding his breath enough that he could not breathe for seven or eight minutes, and even Wei Zheng, who was good at hiding his whereabouts, was ashamed of himself at this point.

Zhang Jin said that he felt that in this seemingly calm courtyard, on the surface, there were only a few men patrolling the night, but there was a murderous aura hidden around, and there were at least twenty or more good hands, all holding sharp blades, hidden in the vast night.

Zhang Jincheng roughly estimated that the warehouse, the pyre, and the flower beds in the patio were all ambushed killers who could strike a fatal blow at any time, and their elite perseverance was by no means under the spies trained by Yang Su.

Zhang Jincheng was secretly anxious, and gradually sweated for Shan Xiongxin's safety, and under the cover of the night, he kept changing his position in this courtyard, sometimes on the roof, sometimes down the edge of the pillar, sometimes wandering to the ground like a gecko, so he avoided the various sentinels who were bright or dark, and slowly touched the innermost room with a black light.

A trace of familiar wine smell into the nose, Zhang Jin said that he could smell the wine smell emanating from Shan Xiongxin's body, the two have worked together for many years, it is too familiar, as long as he smells this trace of wine, Zhang Jin said that he can basically be sure that Shan Xiongxin is nearby, and a big stone in his heart fell to the ground.

In addition to the surprise, Zhang Jin said that he suddenly woke up again, the murderous aura around this place was strong, and there were at least ten or more elite killers hiding here, and Shan Xiongxin's location was on the girder in the northwest corner of the house.

At the door of the room, there were four sergeants with bright armor, who should be Chen Ling's subordinates, while Shen Liusheng's people were nowhere to be seen, all of them were hiding in the shadows.

Zhang Jincheng was anxious, not knowing how to enter this room that was so heavily guarded, Shan Xiongxin must have been hiding here before Chen Ling entered, and now he couldn't get out.

Just when Zhang Jincheng was anxious, the lights in the room suddenly turned on, and a burst of laughter seemed to come from the ground to the ground, which was made by Chen Ling under his pride: "Boss Shen, it's refreshing to talk about business with you!" Don't worry, in this Yingzhou city in the future, you and I will be brothers. ”

A hoarse and ugly voice also sounded, and the strange laughter sounded indescribably uncomfortable: "General Chen, in the future, Shen will still have a place in this city that needs your care, you are an official, I am a people, and my brother will never dare to climb high, as long as General Chen has any orders, Shen will definitely go to the soup and fight the fire, and he will not give up!" ”

Zhang Jin said that he immediately realized that this broken gong voice must be Shen Liusheng, and his heart began to sink: Chen Ling and Shen Liusheng definitely didn't know their current existence, but judging from their current appearance, Chen Ling was obviously very satisfied with this conversation with Shen Liusheng, and even took the initiative to call him a brother. The situation that the lord was most worried about was that Chen Ling turned against the water and switched to Shen Liusheng, and this seems to have become a reality.

Zhang Jincheng sighed secretly in his heart, no matter what, the most important thing now is not whether Chen Ling is backwatering, but how to safely withdraw Shan Xiongxin.

After Chen Ling and Shen Liusheng exchanged a few more words, they walked in the direction of the door together, and after the people with torches left. From the corner of the shadows, seven or eight figures "swished" out. It quickly disappeared into the thick night. The murderous aura that used to lurk inside and outside this house also disappeared at once.

Zhang Jin said that he continued to lie on his stomach, and after a while, a burly figure quietly appeared from the roof, a pair of big bright eyes, the divine light flashed, and an antique long sword was tightly carried behind his back. Isn't it Shan Xiongxin?

I saw Shan Xiongxin's figure jumping skillfully on the roof, and soon left the backyard of the Shen family's trading house and fell towards a street and alley behind. And Zhang Jin said that seeing that Shan Xiongxin was safe and sound, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and he did not hesitate, jumped up with his figure, and ran to the back alley.

As soon as Zhang Jincheng landed, he only heard a low sword roar, which came straight from the shadow on the right. Its momentum was like electricity, and it instantly sealed its three possible retreats. The shadow of the sword is like a mountain, attacking more than a dozen key points on his body around him, which shows that the swordsmanship of the comer is extremely high, and the speed of the sword is even faster.

Zhang Jin said with a sullen sigh: "It's a good time." He didn't retreat, he raised his eyebrows directly and the sword came out of the sheath, and the more than thirty pounds of Xuantie heavy sword was like a soft grass in his hand, with a huge whistling sound, and suddenly the sword shadow like a mountain just now disappeared in an instant, and he would drop ten times with one force, fighting in this narrow black alley, and the size of the strength determined a qiΔ“.

The person who came was slightly stunned, he didn't expect the opponent's swordsmanship and strength to be so powerful, "Huh", his wrist shook, turned into a thorn, and the pitch-black long sword suddenly seemed to have become a soft belt, directly wrapped around the body of Zhang Jincheng's heavy sword, and instantly circled the sword body several times, and the tip of the sword was like a letter spit out by a poisonous snake, directly slashing at Zhang Jincheng's fingers holding the sword.

Zhang Jin's heart is like a mirror, who will it be if the person who comes is not Shan Xiongxin? This is not the first time he has made a move with Shan Xiongxin, whether it is swordsmanship or adaptability, the two of them are at the top level, if it weren't for his innate divine power, I'm afraid that pure swordsmanship may not necessarily be his opponent.

Zhang Jin said that his mind was thinking like lightning, but his subordinates almost reacted instinctively, his wrist sank, and he pulled the heavy sword back vigorously, although Shan Xiongxin's tricks were fine, but after all, this soft sword suffered a little loss, and the strength was inferior Zhang Jinwei, to this area, I only felt a huge suction force pulling me forward, and I was powerless to resist at all.

Shan Xiongxin bit his steel teeth, roared lowly, turned around on his wrist, let go of the soft sword, flashed back half a step, and felt a silver needle in his left hand, ready to attack.

Zhang Jincheng smiled, put his sword into the sheath, pulled the face towel down, and said, "Do you want to murder your brother?!" ”

Shan Xiongxin was shocked by the high level of martial arts of the comer, he didn't have time to take a closer look, and the serial killing was exhausted, in fact, it was only a matter of a moment, and when Zhang Jincheng's familiar voice drilled into his ears, he immediately collected the silver rain that was about to be scattered, but his tone was still as calm as possible: "Jin Cheng, why are you here?" ”

Wang Shichong smiled: "I'm afraid that something will happen to you alone, so I'll come with you, you're okay." ”

Shan Xiongxin's heart was hot, in his impression, this was the first time that Wang Shichong sent someone to the scene to help him when he was on a mission, and he was grateful, he immediately reacted, in addition to worrying about his own safety, it also showed that this Shen Liusheng was by no means simple, and what he heard and saw in that house just now also confirmed this.

Shan Xiongxin took a step forward and said in a low voice: "Jin said, this is still within the Shen family's sphere of influence, let's go back first." ”

Zhang Jincheng nodded and pulled on the masked black scarf: "Okay, go back to the state government first." ”

The two figures flew up again, and after a few ups and downs, they disappeared into the gloomy alley.

After half a pillar of incense, in the council hall of the state government, Wang Shichong, who was dressed in civilian clothes, was sitting on the main seat, and Shan Xiongxin, who was dressed in night clothes, had already removed his veil and stood in front of him. Zhang Jincheng led the guards to guard outside, Wang Renze and Wei Zheng also sat in the guest seats, and the candles on the lampstand in the living room reflected a figure flickering on the wall, just like everyone's mood at this time.

Wang Shichong sighed: "I can't imagine that in this Shen family's trading house, there are actually secret channels, and there are even underground conversation secret rooms like our family, it seems that the forces behind Shen Liusheng are by no means simple."
