Time flies quickly, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

The Western Capital Wangcheng was also on the right track, Li Zhi and Jia Hui were busy with their hands and feet, but the two did not complain, Wenyuan Pavilion and Wuying Hall were initially set up, and some talents were recruited.

Wang Xu personally went to release the imprisoned families, but each family had to take out a thousand taels of gold and two thousand deniers of grain, and all the families obeyed their orders, and they did not dare to have any objections, because the lives were in Wang Xu's hands, and if they did not bleed, they would have to die.

Wang Xu returned the captured family private soldiers to them, but formulated a rule, that is, the number of family private soldiers in the future shall not exceed 500, otherwise it will be punished as the crime of recruiting and rebelling! The families agreed ruly, but they also had their own methods, not to recruit soldiers, then to adopt tenant farmers, which family does not have thousands of acres of land, can let tenant farmers farm, and then turn them into soldiers when needed, Wang Xu has no choice, and can only turn a blind eye.

On this day, Wang Xu came to the cell set up by the Military Aircraft Department, where a prisoner was still held, that was Wen Qing!

The Wen family is not a big family in Wangcheng, but since Wen Qing became the prime minister, the Wen family has developed, built a mansion, and was brilliant for a while, but when Wang Xu arrived, the Wen family was put under house arrest.

Wen Qing was sitting in the corner of the wall, Wang Xu ordered someone to open the prison door, and then walked in, Wang Xu was followed by two Yulin soldiers, wearing a red robe, very majestic.

Wang Xu squatted down, looked at the old man in front of him and smiled: "Wen Qing, if you are willing to work for me, I will let you go." ”

Wen Qing glanced at Wang Xu, and then turned his head to the side.

The two Yulin soldiers frowned at the same time, and stepped forward to mention Wen Qing directly: "Don't kneel down yet, pay homage to King Wen!" ”

Wang Xu waved his hand and drank the two Yulin troops back.

Wen Qing's eyes were like torches, and he secretly muttered the word 'King Wen'. What kind of king is King Wen? Is it newly sealed by the imperial court? However, how could the imperial court reward Wang Xu.

Seeing Wen Qing's puzzled face, Wang Xu said directly: "You don't have to guess, we are self-established kings." The king of the number of letters. ”

Wen Qing was shocked and secretly scolded Wang Xu for being a madman, it was really an old birthday star who had hanged himself for a long time, and he dared to rebel openly.

"Wang Xu, if you want to kill, kill it. I, Wenqing, will never be a thief! ”

Wen Qing is determined, Wang Xu frowned, to be honest, for Wen Qing, Wang Xu has already asked the major families, Wen Qing's literary talent is good, it will not be worse than Jia Hui, it used to be just a master book under Zhou Yi's account, responsible for the scheduling of the army and food and grass, and since Zhou Yi ascended the throne. He followed the rising tide and became the prime minister of Guxi County, during this time, Guxi County was also well organized by him, if it weren't for Wang Xu and others to make trouble, he would definitely be a good prime minister.

Therefore, Wen Qing's talent is obvious to all. Wang Xu decided that he must accept Wenqing, he has been studying hard for decades, and he is definitely qualified to live in Wenyuan Pavilion. Coupled with the lack of Wenchen in Wang Xu's hands now, it becomes very important whether Wenqing surrenders.

With a wave of his hand, he sent away the two Yulin soldiers and left, and Wang Xu sat on the ground and talked to Wen Qing.

"Lord Wen, why don't you want to take refuge in me? Notice. If you don't surrender, I will kill your whole family." ”

"You...!" Wen Qing angrily pointed at Wang Xu: "If you dare to harm my family, the old man will not let you go!" ”

Wang Xu smiled: "Lord Wen, you should know that after the eggs are installed under the nest, you are all dead." Will your family still be alive? ”

"On the contrary, if you are loyal to me, not only will you be able to soar, but even the Wen family will have a good life."

Wen Qing said: "Do you think that if you have 100,000 troops, you will be strong and you will be able to confront the imperial court?" You are delusional! If the old man is not bad, it will be as short as a few months, or as long as a year, and you will be defeated, and then you will die worse than the old man! ”

Wang Xu got up and walked a few steps casually in the cell, and then said: "What you said may be good, but we are people who do not admit defeat, even if we want to die, we will die vigorously, and we will never be beheaded like you." ”

"This king Jingliao raised troops, at that time we were only thousands of soldiers, and our strength was weak, and what about you? With 100,000 troops, he dominated Guxi, but after a few months of fighting, I became stronger and stronger, and you, from the overlord of one side, were reduced to becoming prisoners of the ranks, dying and scattering, it can be seen from this that the strong will not necessarily win, and the weak will not be slaughtered. ”

"This king and Zhou Yi fought, and this king won; In the battle with the imperial court, this king will not lose! ”

In the end, Wang Xu suddenly squatted down and looked at Wen Qing: "Don't you want to bet on a horse with this king?" If you win, you, your family, and your people will ascend to heaven! Forever. ”

Wen Qing gritted his teeth: "What if you lose?" He took a long breath: "If they are defeated, the Wen family will be retaliated by the imperial court, and all of them will be punished with thousands of knives, and the descendants of the future generations will be crowned with the title of anti-thief, and they will never be able to raise their heads." ”

Wang Xu was not in a hurry, he waited quietly there, and gave Wen Qing enough time, he believed that Wen Qing would definitely agree!

Minutes and seconds passed...

After all, Wang Xu was disappointed, Wen Qing thought about it for half an hour, and said: "King Wen, Wen Qing is determined to die, I only hope you can let go of the old man's family, the old man is grateful." ”

Wang Xu said: "This king will give you three more days, you think about it carefully, if you still don't descend, no one in the Wen family will survive!" ”

After speaking, Wang Xu threw off his sleeve robe and walked out of the cell, this kind of thing is not in a hurry, in fact, Wang Xu will not kill Wen Qing's family at all, even if Wen Qing does not surrender, he will not do it, because he really can't do it.

However, Wang Xu is confident that if Wen Qing does not fall, then it will be kept closed until it falls! Time will dilute everything.

Walking out of the cell, Wang Xu walked towards Wenyuan Pavilion, Jia Hui has been handling this matter for half a month, and he has to go to see it to find out.

With the two Yulin Army, the three of them came to the road to Wenyuan Pavilion, walked out of the palace, entered the inner city, and came to the street.

There was a lot of traffic, there were many people, and there were some vendors selling sundries on both sides, Wang Xu looked at it casually, and then continued to move forward.

"See King Wen." One of the people actually recognized Wang Xu and immediately knelt down.

What the? Where is King Wen? Is it the King Wen who exempted us from paying taxes?

The surrounding people were immediately astringent, and after a while, they saw Wang Xu, and they all knelt down and saluted, and everyone was willing.

"See King Wen...."

"See King Wen...."

.............

Everyone knelt down, both the walking people and the vendors on either side.

Wang Xu hated this kind of scene the most, looked around, and then raised his hand and said, "Don't be polite, everyone, get up." ”

Everyone got up, but the streets were a lot restrained because of Wang Xu's arrival, and everyone didn't dare to shout loudly, they were all silently there, Wang Xu smiled: "What's wrong with you, don't be too serious, how was it before, what is it now." ”

Seeing that everyone was still standing there respectfully, Wang Xu finally shook his head helplessly and walked to the other end of the street.

As soon as Wang Xu left, the streets returned to normal. (To be continued.) )
