In the Wu family's mansion, Wu Bingjian sat on the main seat, and the rest of the Wu family's descendants sat on both sides.

Wu Bingjian, who was in his seventies, had gray hair and was weak at this time. Only those eyes, still sharp, like a goshawk hovering in the air.

He first looked at his eldest son, Wu Shaorong, who is also the nominal head of the Wu family: "Shaorong, this Chen Zongbing, who has been in the limelight recently, suddenly visited, what kind of intentions do you say he has?" ”

Wu Shaorong smiled coldly: "What other intentions can there be?" Isn't it just greedy for our family's money? These dog officials, in addition to fighting in the nest and oppressing the good, are only ...... to Xiyi's strong ships and cannons" Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped. Originally, he wanted to say that the officials and generals of the imperial court were very cowardly in the face of foreign invasion, but he suddenly thought that the general soldier Chen who was coming today had won two battles in a row! It was also the only two victories in the wars between the imperial court and England in the past two years.

Wu Bingjian saw that he didn't say any more, so he sighed, gently stroked his crutches and said, "If this Chen Liansheng is really that kind of corrupt official, it's okay to do." What kind of corrupt and mediocre officials have not been encountered since our Wu family took over the work of this court and opened the thirteen lines? On the contrary, I am afraid of meeting that ambitious official. Governor Lin, is an example...... It's a pity that in this world, who knows so clearly whether it is black or white? How long can an ambitious official survive in the mud of my Daqing Dynasty? ”

Wu Shaorong and the other children of the Wu family didn't understand the deep meaning of the ancestor's words, and they didn't dare to answer.

Wu Bingjian let out a long sigh again: "I'm just afraid that this Chief Chen Bing is not small." Let's see, the guests are almost there. ”

Sure enough, it didn't take long for me to hear the servant report that Chen Liansheng and the others had already entered the main hall through the side door. I'm coming this way. Because it was a private visit, there was no such reminder as a loud roll call.

Wu Bingjian and a group of Wu family disciples just stood up, when they heard a hearty laughter: "This official heard that the Wu family is the richest merchant in the Qing Dynasty, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." Ha ha. ”

With this voice, the Wu family saw a burly military attache and a white-clothed soldier walking in almost side by side. He also knew the white-clothed scholar, who was the first place in the provincial examination of the imperial examination last year, and was quite famous among scholars in Guangdong, and was said to have the best talent.

Behind them were several guards with electric eyes and swords at their waists, one by one. The momentum alone was a little chilling, and the servants around them were obviously a little afraid of them—they were all the kind of battlefield soldiers who had at least ten lives in their hands!

"Haha, Mr. Chen is here today, and the humble house is really shining." Wu Bingjian greeted him, very enthusiastic. After meeting Chen Liansheng and Xie Lingqing, he sat down with the guests.

In this living room, it is indeed extremely luxurious.

I saw that the hall was made of golden silk nanmu embraced by adults as beams, the floor was covered with the best cashmere carpet from Persia, and the tables and chairs around were decorated with gems such as night pearls, agate, and coral. It's really luxurious to the extreme.

After the servants served tea, they exchanged pleasantries with each other for a while. Wu Bingjian smiled and asked tentatively: "I don't know if General Chen came to the cold house today to see and teach?" If it is something that Wu can do, he must fully support the imperial court. ”

Chen Liansheng didn't speak, but Xie Lingqing next to him said with a smile: "President Wu, General Chen and Xie came today, but it was not for the court. The affairs of the imperial court will not be interested in President Wu. ”

Hearing this, Wu Bingjian only felt his eyelids jump violently, and a chill in his heart rose unconsciously. I only felt that there was some information in Xie Lingqing's words that made him uneasy. I saw that Chen Liansheng was also staring at him with a smile, as if he was staring at a prey.

He secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, I am afraid that it was really a bad person. Last time, Lin Zexu, the governor of Liangguang, had already given the Wu family a headache, and if the local snake with strong military strength this time was also quite unreasonable, then the Wu family's position as the leader of the thirteen elements might be really dangerous.

However, this Wu Bingjian deserved to be the richest man in the world at that time, he was well-informed and very calm, and even waved his hand towards the land of the Wu family, signaling all the other children of the Wu family except for Wu Shaorong, the son of the family, to retreat. In the luxurious hall, only his father and son, Chen Liansheng and others remained.

Only then did he arch his hand towards the two of them: "Mr. Chen and Mr. Xie have something to say, they are old and stupid, and their heads are a little too bad." Hehe. ”

Chen Liansheng and Xie Lingqing glanced at each other, and then Xie Lingqing spoke: "Since President Wu is so straightforward, he won't be twisted in the future." I want to ask, have you ever heard of it...... Dragon God Sect! ”

Dragon God Sect!

As soon as these words came out, the faces of Wu Bingjian and Wu Shaorong changed slightly.

Of course, they had heard of the Dragon God Sect, and even among the thousands of workers under their Wu family, there were quite a few Dragon God Sect believers!

In the eyes of the father and son, this Dragon God Sect is a folk religion that only emerged last year. At the beginning, I found that some of the workers began to preach the saying that "believe in the dragon god and get eternal life", and claimed that the dragon god who rescued the suffering was real, and some people even saw the glory of the gods with their own eyes.

The people of the Wu family didn't take this seriously. After all, in southern China, religious beliefs are extremely complex, and each county and village may have its own incense gods. There are also some new scammers who have come out to swindle and defraud money.

But it didn't take long to realize that something was wrong!

The speed of this Dragon God Sect was so fast that in less than two months, hundreds of people had joined it. And secretly enshrined the so-called "dragon god portrait" in the residence. Wu Shaorong saw it by chance, what kind of dragon is it, it is clearly a hideous poisonous snake covered in pitch black!

So the high-level members of the Wu family reacted, this is likely to be a cult or a cult! An existence similar to the White Lotus Sect that once was. If one is not good, it may cause chaos!

But the number of workers under his command who believe in the Dragon God Sect is growing too fast, so they can't all be dismissed, right? What's more, if this matter gets out, who can say clearly? If something really happens, the Wu family will be the first to suffer. In addition, it was later discovered that not only the Wu family, but also the poor families in the entire city of Guangzhou, and even some well-off families with considerable assets began to believe in that "dragon god".

So they simply turned a blind eye and didn't care about it.

At the same time, what puzzled them was that in the past, the magistrates would nip in the bud the strict prohibition of this situation in the imperial court. But this time, the Dragon God Sect didn't seem to have been hit too violently - although there was a blow, it was not as severe as before.

In this, they felt a sense of unease and weirdness.
