Chapter 191: Jingzhou Turmoil
After Liu Qi figured it out, he just wanted to express his opinion, when the subordinates of Liu Qi's mansion came to inform him that someone from the Pang family in Jingzhou wanted to meet Wang Sen. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Wang Sen suddenly became curious, not long after he came to Liu Qi's residence, but the Pang family actually found the head, it seems that the other party really has a heart, Wang Sen glanced at Liu Qi, and immediately ordered his subordinates to invite the Pang family to enter the door.
Before long, an old man in his sixties with white hair walked in.
After Liu Qi saw this person, he was shocked, he didn't expect it to be his old man coming, so he immediately got up and said: "Pang Degong, I didn't expect it to be your old man's arrival, it really makes my mansion shine, please sit down, come to tea, Liu Qi's whole person began to get busy." ”
Only then did Wang Sen react, knowing the identity of the person who came, he didn't dare to be careless, and like Liu Qi, he immediately got up and signaled.
Pang Degong smiled slightly when he saw Liu Qi and Wang Sen's appearance, waved his hand and said, "Master Qi, don't be busy anymore, the purpose of the old man's visit to the mansion today is mainly to meet Lord Wang and discuss important matters." ”
"Okay, Senior Pang, you choose to talk, it just so happens that I have something to do, so I won't bother the two of you." After speaking, Liu Qi took the initiative to retreat and gave Wang Sen and Pang Degong time to be alone.
After seeing Liu Qi leave, Wang Sen opened his mouth and asked, "I don't know Pang Degong, what is the so-called thing about seeing me this time?" Wang Sen didn't go around in circles, and asked the other party straightforwardly.
Pang Degong smiled slightly, sat down on Wang Sen's right hand, and took a sip of tea before he spoke: "Lord Wang, I'm here to solve your doubts." ”
"Oh, puzzles? Pang Degong, I Wang Sen really don't understand what you're talking about? The main reason for coming to Jingzhou this time is to put incense on the pillar in front of Lord Liu's spirit card, as for other things, I Wang Sen really don't want to ask, I don't know what Pang Degong said about solving the puzzle? ”
Seeing Wang Sen say seriously, Pang Degong suddenly laughed, "Lord Wang, why are you doing this?" The old man took the initiative to come to you, and he has already seen through your intentions, why don't we talk to each other frankly? ”
After listening to this, Wang Sen raised the corners of his mouth, and at the same time took a sip of tea, and said a little intriguingly: "Pang Degong, where did you start with this, I, Wang Sen, really don't understand!" ”
Seeing Wang Sen say this, Pang Degong was not angry, so he told the speculation in his heart.
"Even if Lord Wang doesn't want to say it, the old man guesses what Lord Wang thinks in his heart."
"Lord Wang came to Jingzhou this time, obviously to give incense to the deceased Lord Liu, and to show respect, but in fact he came to Jingzhou, do you think I am right, Lord Wang?"
Wang Sen didn't speak, but with a calm look, he continued to drink the tea in his hand, and he could guess that he was here for the affairs of Jingzhou, which was nothing, as long as it was a person in Jingzhou, he would think about it in this way, there was nothing great about it.
Wang Sen didn't hide it anymore, thought about it and replied: "Yes, I, Wang Sen, have some thoughts about Jingzhou, but the affairs of Jingzhou are internal affairs of the Liu family, so how can I, Wang Sen, an outsider, interfere?" ”
"Hahahaha!" Seeing that Wang Sen didn't tell the truth, Pang Degong laughed, "Lord Wang, this is a bit reluctant, not to mention that the Liu family is a loyal relative of the Han family, just based on the private friendship between Lord Wang and Prince Qi, I don't think Lord Wang will sit and ignore the affairs of Jingzhou." ”
Wang Sen's heart trembled suddenly, could it be that Pang Degong knew about his previous master-apprentice relationship with Liu Qi? Wang Sen also asked tentatively: "Pang Degong, I really don't understand what you're talking about?" ”
"Lord Wang, if I remember correctly, the last time you came to Jingzhou, it seems that you taught Qi Gongzi a set of massage techniques, although this is not a big deal, but how can you say that Qi Gongzi is also your apprentice, and Qi Gongzi's current situation in Jingzhou is not very good, how can you, the master, not help?"
At this time, Wang Sen couldn't sit still, it seemed that this Pang Degong really knew a lot, and now things became interesting, Wang Sen pretended to be suddenly enlightened.
"Oh, it turns out that you are talking about this matter, it is true that Liu Qi has something to do with me, but so what, some things are not what I want?"
Seeing that Wang Sen still had the heart to conceal it, Pang Degong finally said truthfully, "My lord, why bother? I know what you think in your heart, now Jingzhou has become like this, adults have guessed in their hearts, this is because someone colluded with Jiangnan to do so, and my Jingzhou Pang family took the initiative to come to the door to solve the doubts for adults, which means that this matter has nothing to do with us, and at the same time, we are sincere, and I hope that adults will face it squarely. ”
That's right, Wang Sen concealed his thoughts before, but he couldn't be sure whether the Pang family had a connection with Jiangnan, so he kept pretending to be stupid, but now that Pang Degong has made his words clear, Wang Sen no longer concealed it, and said his thoughts.
"Pang Degong, I'm really sorry, just now I Wang Sen was a little excessive, but I also did this for the sake of secrecy, I hope Pang Degong understands."
Pang Degong smiled at this time, "My lord doesn't have to be like this, I understand all this, and I came to make things clear." ”
"Okay, then I'll listen to you!"
"My lord, I believe you also know that Jingzhou has always been dominated by seven families, they are Pang, Huang, Cai, Kuai, Ma, Xi, and Yang."
"For a long time, the Pang and Huang families have dominated the academics, while the Cai, Xi, and Yang families are officials, and the Kuai and Ma families have focused on business.
"But since the last time the adults came to Jingzhou, the rapid development of Jingzhou's economy, the seven families have also benefited a lot, the most prominent is the Kuai family, not only so the assets have doubled, but also Kuai Yue has been loved by adults, which makes the other six very red, so the other six have also changed their business strategies to some extent, focusing on business."
"But the good days didn't last long, and the adults left Jingzhou, and at the same time left a lot of industries, which made the Jingzhou family lively, and everyone wanted to get a piece of the pie, just like that, the Cai family headed by Cai Mao took the first shot and grabbed the business, and the other six families saw it and followed suit, which made Jingzhou begin to be chaotic."
"At the beginning, everyone was able to rely on their own ability, grab a piece is a piece, and take care of it well, Jingzhou as a whole is not bad."
"But the more time passes, everyone develops the speed of making money in your workshop, the products are good, and there is a feeling that supply exceeds demand, so some people also have crooked thoughts."
"Everyone began to poach people secretly, and increased production from the new workshop, so that the original balance was broken, prices fell all the way, and the quality of products was also uneven, and the income of the major families also dropped a lot."
"At that time, after Lord Liu learned about this, he also contacted our seven major families and discussed this matter once, Lord Liu meant not to compete viciously and develop normally, so that everyone would make money."
"But at that time, everyone was dizzy, who would care about Lord Liu's words, on the surface, everyone seemed to agree, but secretly, everyone did even more crazy, grabbing people and land, doing everything, and the market in Jingzhou was destroyed."
"At this time, Sun Ce in Jiangnan saw an opportunity, secretly contacted the suppressed family, and promised to not only let them start a workshop in Jiangnan, but also with very little tax, just like that, some families began to take risks and secretly opened a workshop in Jiangnan."
"At the beginning, everyone didn't pay much attention to it, after all, the Jiangnan Workshop was not very big, and it didn't affect Jingzhou's economy."
"But the more time passes, the more talents flow to Jiangnan, Jingzhou has noticed this situation, and Lord Liu is even more angry when he learns about it, and at the same time releases cruel words, he must be investigated to the end."
"After many investigations, Lord Liu learned that this matter was related to his second son Liu Cong, and he was fainted on the spot, and he couldn't afford to be sick from then on, and the affairs of Jingzhou were also presided over by Cai Mao."
"But since General Cai presided over the matter, not only did he not ask about this matter, but also secretly helped Liu Cong to expand the industry in Jiangnan, and made huge profits from it, which made other families in Jingzhou very angry, and at the same time, Jingzhou's business under the suppression of General Cai, it has also become a dominant trend of the Cai family, which makes other families also moved, and everyone moved all the workshops to Jiangnan and secretly made money, so that there is today's situation."
Wang Sen was really stupid after hearing this, he didn't expect things to be like this, is this Cai Mao really stupid or fake stupid, and actually allowed Liu Cong to open the workshop to the south of the Yangtze River, isn't this killing chickens and taking eggs?
At this time, Wang Sen really couldn't sit still, got up directly, and said angrily: "Pang Degong, what you said is true, but what evidence do you have?" ”
"My lord, do you need any proof for this? Judging from the current situation, without General Cai's permission, who dares to do this in Jingzhou is a big crime to exterminate the clan, and I also heard that Sun Ce also promised to return his sister to Liu Cong, I believe that Qi Gongzi has also heard of it, if you don't believe it, you can ask! ”
At this time, Wang Sen was really angry, and all of his hard work was taken away by Jiangnan Sun Ce, which was too scolding, Wang Sen didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and immediately shouted loudly: "Liu Qi, you come over to me, I have something to ask you!" ”
It didn't take long for Liu Qi to finally appear in front of Wang Sen, and seeing Wang Sen's angry appearance, Liu Qi was also stunned, and he didn't understand what happened to make Wang Sen so angry.
"Master, what's wrong with you, why do you have such a big temper?"
Wang Sen ignored Liu Qi's concern, but asked rhetorically: "Liu Qi, let me ask you, have you heard that Jiangnan Sun Ce wants to give his sister to Liu Cong?" ”
Hearing this, Liu Qi was also stunned, he didn't expect that Wang Sen would also know about this matter, he didn't dare to hide it and nodded immediately, "Master, I have indeed heard of this matter, but this matter must not be true, after all, now our Jingzhou and Jiangnan are in a confrontational relationship, Sun Ce wants to marry his sister to Brother Cong, isn't this a joke?" ”
Wang Sen was suddenly furious, "Fart, now the confrontation between Jingzhou and Jiangnan is not caused by Jingzhou, if Jingzhou's industry is not lost, what will Jiangnan use to provoke Jingzhou?" ”
"And now it seems that Jiangnan is provoking Jingzhou, but in fact, it is cutting off Jingzhou's industrial chain, so that the talents in Jiangnan's workshop will stay in Jiangnan, thus hitting Jingzhou's economy, Sun Ce is really calculating, it seems that there are also masters behind him."
Seeing Wang Sen's angry appearance, Liu Qi was also stupid, he didn't expect things to be like this.
"Master, I really didn't know there would be so many things going on, I thought it was just rumors!"
"Okay, don't tell me that this is useless, what else have you heard, tell me everything about it, there must be no mistake." Wang Sen waved his hand and continued to ask.
"Master, I also heard that Jingzhou is facing the current situation, and it has something to do with Brother Cong!"
"What, it's really Liu Cong, before I told you that someone in Jingzhou eats inside and out, and you still pretend not to know, what do you mean, it's so difficult that you still have to pretend to be stupid in front of me?"
Seeing Wang Sen's furious appearance, Liu Qi's heart trembled for no reason, and his whole body trembled.
"Master, don't be angry, these things are just rumors, I have no evidence, how can I talk to the master, and I also know Brother Cong's ability, he can't make this wave at all."
After listening to Liu Qi's words, Wang Sen sighed impatiently, as Liu Qi said, although Liu Cong can't turn over this wave, it doesn't mean that Cai Mao can't do it, now it seems that there must be Cai Mao's shadow behind this matter.
At this time, Wang Sen really hated Cai Mao in his heart, this Cai Mao was really a repeated villain, reporting to Brother Cao, but he did another thing in Jiangnan, he said it all by himself, it seems that it is necessary to talk to Brother Cao in this matter.
Seeing that Wang Sen finally calmed down a little, Liu Qi took it and said, "Master, don't be angry, I will investigate this matter." ”
After listening to it, Wang Sen asked: "What kind of investigation, I really don't bother to pay attention to the broken things of your Liu family, it's just that I feel sorry for my industries, I knew that this was the case, I might as well not open a workshop, and let Sun Ce pick up the cheap for nothing." ”
"Master, I can't swallow this breath, so what should we do now, so that we can save the situation?" Liu Qi asked cautiously.
Wang Sen glanced at Liu Qi, knowing that there was nothing to do with him, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go down first, I still have something to talk to Pang Degong, there is nothing for you here!" ”
After hearing this, Liu Qi immediately received a salute and retreated.
After Wang Sen saw Liu Qi leaving, he took a deep breath, calmed his mood, and said to Pang Degong: "I'm sorry, sir, I didn't control my temper just now, which made you laugh." ”
"Hahaha, Lord Wang is polite, this matter is indeed outrageous, no wonder Lord Wang is angry, even when the old man just learned about this, he was so angry that he had a headache, I didn't expect Lord Liu to give birth to such a thing inside and out."
"But then again, now that the matter has come out, we still have to think about how to solve it, otherwise Jingzhou will really be difficult to protect!"
Wang Sen nodded, understood what Pang Degong meant, and saw that the other party was sincere, Wang Sen was also relieved, and then asked: "Pang Degong, as far as you know, which other families are involved in this matter, don't you want to speak out and listen?" ”
Pang Degong had already guessed that Wang Sen would ask such a question, and then took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Wang Sen.
"Lord Wang, I have written all the family involved in this incident in this letter, and my lord will know it at a glance." (To be continued.) )
