"Tuanzuo, please forgive your subordinates for their courage: do you want to protect the Wang family, or do you want to dominate Jiangyin County or even the entire Xiangxi?"

Such a question itself is destined for its answer: even the most cowardly person knows how to answer it verbally.

Wang Shihua did not give a reply, but smiled faintly and asked rhetorically: "How do you say it?" ”

"If Tuan Za only wants to protect the current interests of the Wang family, and even try to be bigger and become the head of the four major families, then, with Tuan Za's ingenuity, coupled with the courage of the Wang family, and what Tuan Za wants to get from using food with great vision this time, I believe that in the near future, all this will be done."

Speaking of this, Tian Weiguo quickly glanced at Wang Shihua, and when he saw Wang Shihua listening with a straight face, he continued: "But if Tuanzuo wants to do more, then, please forgive his subordinates for being bold, with the current strength of the Wang family, I'm afraid it will be difficult." ”

To put it bluntly, what he means is that the Wang family's current armed forces are more than enough to protect themselves, but if they want to advance by leaps and bounds, they must have a big change.

Wang Shihua really didn't know what his purpose was when he said this, he looked at Wang Dongqing, but saw that Wang Dongqing was looking at the Wang Family Tobacco House in a daze, and couldn't help but look at the Tobacco House as well.

After watching it for a while, Wang Shihua still didn't understand. Fortunately, his personality determines his behavior - to be open-minded and seek advice.

hugged his fists at the two and said: "Lao Tian, Lao Wang, I am young, I am shallow, and the food I have eaten is not as much salt as the two of you have eaten, if you two have any ideas, or see a problem, I hope to correct them, don't be polite to me, let me be kept in the dark, let outsiders see my jokes." ”

Seeing that Wang Shihua said so sincerely and straightforwardly, and even asked for advice in a low manner, Tian Weiguo was stunned for a moment, and then hugged his fist at Wang Shihua and said: "Tuanzuo knows the truth of 'not being ashamed to ask' at such a young age, no wonder the Wang family has today's great prosperity situation, and admires it...... Since Tuanza looks up to our brothers so much, we definitely don't dare to hide it. But if there is something that goes too far, I hope the group will forgive me. ”

"In front of so many brothers, I can give a guarantee to the two elder brothers: In the future, you can only say what you say, even if you say it wrong, I, Wang Shihua, will definitely not pursue it."

"Okay, I want to ask Tuanza, who opened this smoke house?"

"I drove it."

"Tuanza, opium has plagued our people for nearly a hundred years, and my Chinese men have suffered greatly, and it is the first disaster to bear the brunt...... Can it be shut down immediately, and it is stipulated in the form of family law and family rules: all children of the Wang family are never allowed to touch opium. Whoever touches it dies! ”

In this era, everyone didn't care about the evil consequences of opium, and many people knew that this thing could not be touched, but they fell into it in order to seek the comfort in that puff of smoke. Second, they all think that it is not a big deal to grow and smoke by themselves, and it will not cost much money. Three, before the war, smoke a few mouthfuls of opium, and you will be more brave and less afraid of death when you start a war - if your nerves are paralyzed by opium, how can you be afraid of pain? Therefore, even for this reason, the four major families adopted an attitude of discourage and did not oppose the opium smoking of the spearmen below. Sometimes, especially in the face of a vicious war, everyone will be encouraged to smoke a few mouthfuls of opium first, and then fight each other...... Of course, this is Wang Shihua's idea. Because I didn't care about it, I never asked, so I naturally don't know what the people think.

After a few battles in the Wang family, many people became rich overnight, and smoking opium was even more crazy, so the Wang family did earn a lot of money on opium. Now seeing that Tian Weiguo wants to ban smoking forever, Wang Shihua couldn't help frowning.

Wang Dongqing saw that Wang Shihua did not reply immediately, turned to look at Wang Shihua, and saw Wang Shihua frowning and looking down to think about things, his eyes rolled and he smiled: "Tuanzao, you may have misunderstood what Lao Tian meant." Lao Tian wants to say that his own people are never allowed to touch this thing, but it is still okay to sell it to outsiders, after all, if you really ban smoking, many people will not be able to stand it, and it will definitely lose a lot of money economically. ”

Saying that, Wang Dongqing also quipped: "Everyone's military salary and equipment have to rely on this." ”

After speaking, he also touched Tian Weiguo lightly and gave him a look. Tian Weiguo sighed in his heart: It seems that you can't be in a hurry and do it in one step.

"Tuanzuo, Lao Wang is right, I can't speak, but that's what it means." After speaking, he also deliberately added: "This kind of thing has to be done slowly." ”

Wang Shihua's face relaxed slightly, and asked: "But I don't think it's bad to smoke a lot, besides, after the brothers smoke a lot, they are more energetic, and they are not afraid of death when they fight." ”

"Tuanza, otherwise, let's do an experiment, you just need to watch with peace of mind, and when we see the power of opium poisoning, how about we discuss this matter?"

"What's the experiment?"

"Ask the group to find twenty men, ten of whom are opium smokers, and must be men who appear to be able-bodied, and who must have at least three years of opium smokers; The other ten have never touched this thing, and it is better to choose an old man who is fourteen or fifteen or forty or fifty years old, and let them wait in front of us. ”

This method is simple, and Wang Shihua naturally agrees. When I arrived at the Wang's Restaurant in the town, I wrapped the second floor, and sat in the hall on the second floor with Wang and Tian and waited.

Soon, ten strong opium ghosts, five fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys, and five old men about fifty years old came to Wang Shihua in full gear.

"Have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten it."

"Have you all smoked opium?"

"Just smoked."

Tian Weiguo nodded, and then separated those who smoked opium from those who did not, and stood in a row of five people.

"Tuanza, it's too boring to wait like this, why don't we wait while playing mahjong?"

Wang Shihua naturally agreed, asked someone to find mahjong, and specially invited Uncle Tiger, and the four of them began to code the Great Wall.

About half an hour later, the ten opium ghosts were still standing with their heads held high, still looking at the group of young and old opposites with contempt. The old and young are either old or too young, carrying knives, guns and packages, some of them can't stand it, and sweat is pouring out.

Tian Weiguo looked at both sides, and said, "Now, you take off all your weapons and equipment, and continue to stand in a military posture empty-handed." ”

An hour later, seeing that the opium ghost sect still didn't care, but the legs and feet of the old and young were a little trembling, Tian Weiguo played a mahjong and ordered them: "Now, you can lie down and sit, but you are not allowed to sleep, you are not allowed to talk, and you are not allowed to drink water." ”

In the sound of mahjong, time flies by little by little.

After another hour, Tian Weiguo stood up and looked at both sides, and ordered: "Now, carry all the equipment for me and continue to stand in a military posture." ”

Starting with mahjong, a full three hours passed, and the opium ghosts began to yawn and their bodies began to tilt, while the old and young gritted their teeth with tired faces.

"Now, put down all your equipment, drink water, replenish your strength, and then sit on the planks and rest." After giving the order, he smiled at the second dog standing behind Wang Shihua: "Second dog, you kid is not honest." ”

Wang Shihua looked back and saw that the two dogs were stunned, and then smiled, looking embarrassed to be seen through.

"Lao Tian, what's going on?"

"Tuanzao, I asked Ergouzi to find ten opium ghosts, and they must all be addicted to cigarettes for more than three years, but none of the ones this kid found for me have been addicted to cigarettes for more than three years."

Wang Shihua turned his head and glared at Ergouzi fiercely: Needless to say, Ergouzi wants to fight for his face, so he has this hand. However, Wang Shihua was very curious about how Tian Weiguo saw through this: "Lao Tian, how did you know?" ”

Lao Wang on the side smiled while touching the cards: "Tuanzao, this is not tolerated...... Hoo! ”

Knocking down the card, he smiled while collecting the money: "Tuanzuo, you know best how Lao Tian and I are treated by Commander Zhang, but when we first arrived at Commander Zhang, we saw that there were many opium ghosts in the army, so I mentioned it to Commander Zhang...... Although this incident fell through, Lao Tian and I have both seen the power of opium poisoning and learned some shallow experience: opium smokers are addicted to opium every year. Especially for three years, it was a watershed. Anyone who has smoked for more than three years, under the toss of Lao Tian just now, within three hours, the addiction to smoking will be committed; If it is less than three years, it will take a little longer. ”

Another half an hour passed, and the moment of truth arrived, or the consequences of smoking opium were revealed.

The opium ghosts began to have snot, wiped their tears, and had a sad expression, apparently because they had begun to commit cigarette addiction. It's just that because of Wang Shihua's majesty, he is still trying to restrain himself.

Young and old, on the other hand, were calm and relaxed—it was their turn to look at each other with disdain.

"Don't fight, it's almost time." After speaking, Tian Weiguo turned around and instructed Ergouzi: "Ergouzi, go find ten guards to come up, and by the way, find ten stronger ropes." By the way, find some opium and a smoking gun. ”

The first and second dogs ran down to give orders, and one of the most addicted smokers couldn't help but feel the pain of being bitten by ants all over his body, and fell on the board...... When Uncle Tiger saw it, he rushed over angrily, lifted the other party up, and roared: "Shame in front of the head of the family, you are still not a fucking member of the Wang family." Stand up for Lao Tzu! ”

The man nodded quickly, wiping away his tears. But as soon as Uncle Tiger let go, the man immediately collapsed to the ground. The angry Uncle Tiger kicked it away and hit the wall along the floor. Uncle Tiger also scolded angrily: "I don't have any ability and willpower, dog!" ”

Looking at the remaining smokers, the frightened smokers who were crumbling quickly cheered up and sat up straight.

Uncle Tiger snorted heavily, returned to his seat, and as soon as he sat down, two more opium ghosts fell to the ground, affecting other opium ghosts. "Boom! Boom! Boom! With a few sounds, all the opium ghosts fell to the ground......

The angry Uncle Tiger was about to stand up, but was pulled by Tian Weiguo: "Uncle Tiger, don't be angry, at this time, these opium ghosts are addicted to smoking, their bodies don't listen to commands, and they don't have anything in their minds except opium." ”

At this time, the sound of footsteps sounded, and the guards rushed up, and when they saw this scene, they were stunned, looked at the smokers on the ground, and then looked at Wang Shihua......
