The yellow-clothed scribe's face changed slightly, but it only flashed, and then he regained his perseverance just now: "Brother Xian, you also know that my Wang Xuan and Chen Baxian's father-killing feud is not shared.

I didn't expect this thief to be treacherous in order to ascend the throne for himself, sneak attack my father, and kill my father and my five brothers.

Now although the old thief is dead, the Chen Dynasty he established is still there, and his nephew Chen Shubao is the current monarch, if I don't destroy the Chen State, what face will I have to see my dead father and dead brother after I die!"

When the yellow-clothed scribe Wang Xuan said this, his eyes seemed to be about to burst into flames, and he slammed his fist on the table, which shook the bowl in front of him with a splash of hops, causing many drinkers to look here.

Wang Huaqiang put his hand on Wang Xu's fist, and his eyes flashed: "Brother Wang doesn't have to be like this, the younger brother just wanted to say that the matter is big, and when the official edict comes down, there will naturally be an opportunity for Brother Wang to make contributions, why rush at this time?" ”

Wang Yu sighed, and drank another bowl of wine: "Brother Xian doesn't know, Brother Fool doesn't have a military position now, even if the emperor issues an edict to recruit soldiers from all over the world, I'm afraid that Brother Fool will not be able to enlist in the army, let alone be a pioneer."

If you want to make contributions on the battlefield and eliminate the Chen Dynasty, you can only take revenge if you recruit strong men and cross the river before the army. ”

Wang Huaqiang's heart moved when he heard this, but his face was still silent, and he said calmly: "Then why didn't Brother Wang take the initiative to ask the emperor for war?" Presumably, with the wisdom of the emperor, it is impossible not to be moved.

After all, your Wang family has gone through three generations in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are many old departments, and when the army marches south, you will definitely be able to help. ”

Wang Xuan's brows stretched a little, and he replied: "Brother Fool has already given the emperor a lesson before receiving your letter and leaving here, and it is estimated that there will be a return in the next few days."

It's just that you also know the situation of the foolish brother, relying on that bit of money Lu can't pull the team, let alone the ordnance and armor, so this time you can only be cheeky to seek the support of the virtuous brother, in case the emperor is gracious, the foolish brother needs the real support of the virtuous brother. ”

Wang Huaqiang laughed: "Brother Wang is too polite, the younger brother made it very clear in the letter, if the emperor really goes south this time, it will also be an opportunity for our Xinfeng royal family."

You also know that although my father has served two governors, but there is no title, our brothers can't be like the children of the family to be officials, our Wang family is not a high-ranking family, if you want to be an official, you can only fight for fame on the battlefield, this southern expedition is your chance to take revenge, and it is also our opportunity to be an official. ”

Wang Xuan smiled: "Actually, your Wang family's business is already doing so well, why do you still want to be an official?" I'm mainly taking revenge, but even if you become an official, this is not as much business as you.

And this southern expedition, if the emperor is gracious, the foolish brother is also the leading smuggling detachment, the risk is not small, although the wealth is in danger, but it is a poor and white bachelor, your family has a big business, as for it? ”

Wang Huaqiang also took a sip of wine, smiled and shook his head: "Brother Wang doesn't know, the so-called four great sorrows in life are tired of farming and breaking his legs, selling straw shoes and shouting, running into officials and bandits in business, and regretting losing money in gambling."

Businessmen like us, who have no power or power, are a big piece of fat in the eyes of high-ranking officials and magnates, and everyone wants to take a bite. ”

Wang Xuan glanced at the bustling streets outside, and said: "It's just a tiger brother, a father and son soldier, I heard that this afternoon, the prince of Yiyang County, the general of the dynasty, and your distant cousin Wang Shiji, brother Wang Xian, are coming to your house, it should also be related to the southern expedition." ”

Wang Huaqiang smiled: "I really can't hide anything from Brother Wang, the matter of the Southern Expedition has been spreading in the past two months, and my father also wrote a letter to this Wang Shiji, asking him to come over at a convenient time, called the movement of relatives' houses, in fact, he also wants to stuff our brothers under his command, after all, Wang Shiji is a general of the imperial court, and he has the authority to open the government to recruit subordinates, so it is easier to make contributions under his hands." ”

Wang Xuan said: "Brother Xian, don't blame the foolish brother for being troublesome, Wang Shiji has always been high-flying, and he and your family are only grandparents are brothers, this relationship is already the most estranged within the five suits, and it is not as close as the relationship between the neighbors.

And he hasn't come to the door for decades, so why is he willing to come this time?

Presumably, Ling Zun is willing to hemorrhage this time, and his opening of the mansion also needs the support of your family's property, so this should be a deal. ”

Wang Huaqiang nodded: "It should be as analyzed by Brother Wang, this matter has not been discussed between the younger brother and his father, and it is estimated that he will not be able to act until he meets Wang Shiji." ”

At this time, there was a sound on the stairs, and a man in a black hat and a servant-like man ran up, his chest was already wet, and when he looked up, he saw Wang Yu directly, and he greeted him with joy: "Master, let me find you." ”

Wang Xuan's face showed displeasure, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his voice and said: "Didn't you say it, don't come to disturb me if you are not in a hurry, and don't shout in this crowded place!"

The servant met Wang Xu's cold face, frightened a spirit, and whispered: "Damn it, it's urgent, forget about it all at once, and ask the master to punish it." ”

Wang Xuan snorted and said, "Just say something, this Brother Wang Xian is my brother in life and death, and you don't have to hide anything from him." ”

The black-clothed servant answered yes and whispered: "Just now, the second master's urgent message came to the guest house, saying that it was the emperor's decree to summon you to enter Beijing as soon as possible, and the second master said to the messenger who came to announce the edict that you went out to visit a friend, and the messenger later passed the decree, so that you can face the saint as soon as possible after receiving the news." ”

A hint of pride flashed on Wang Xuan's face, he stood up and crossed his hand at Wang Huaqiang: "Brother Xian, it seems that the emperor has seen the foolish brother's Pingchen Shice, the foolish brother will leave now, once the emperor allows me to cross the river first, I will contact you as soon as possible." ”

Wang Huaqiang smiled slightly, got up and crossed his hands to return the salute: "Okay, here I Wang Huaqiang also make a statement, as long as things go well, the emperor will be gracious, and my brother can get his wish, no matter whether our Wang family joins hands with Brother Wang to cross the river this time, the 100,000 yuan of military funds that I told you will definitely be presented as military funds." ”

Wang Xuan let out a sigh and said with a smile: "Brother Xian is really refreshing, then please wait for the good news of Brother Fool." After saying that, the two saluted and said goodbye, and the yellow-clothed scribe happily led the attendant downstairs.

Wang Huaqiang smiled helplessly, seizing the opportunity to become an official was what his father Wang He meant, and his memory in his previous life, although he also had the consciousness that he must do business up and down, he still didn't understand why his father wanted his three brothers to risk their lives to go to the battlefield to fight for fame.

Thinking about it, Wang Huaqiang walked back to his home, in this Xinfeng City, the Wang family is also a big family, the vermilion lacquer gate, the blue brick two-person high courtyard wall, in the east corner of the city formed an independent mansion with two courtyards.

When I walked into the door, I saw more than a dozen servants in green clothes and small hats walking around busily, a strong man in his early twenties, dressed in yellow silk clothes, eight feet long, with a high nose and deep eyes, and a powerful man was shouting and directing these people to clean the house and put up lights.

"Wang Fu, the ash on the door frame hasn't been wiped clean, haven't you woken up today?"

"Wang Shou, you are asked to sprinkle water in the courtyard, how many times have you said it, why haven't you seen water!"

"Wang Cai, how many times have I told you, General Wang is a general who has killed people on the battlefield, what he wants is to be spacious, you put a few chairs in the hall so close, do you want to make his old man uncomfortable? Hurry up and re-arrange!"

With this person's shouting, the mansion with two courtyards was busy inside and outside.

Wang Huaqiang saw this strong man at a glance and said with a smile: "Big brother, it's hard work." ”
