Wang Shoucheng looked at his son who was covering his face, and he didn't know what to say with his unconvinced expression, so he pointed at Wang Chenglin and scolded sadly: "You ...... You rebel, what are you going to tell me about you? Blame me for spoiling you so much that I let you cause such a disaster. β
I have to say that Wang Chenglin is a person who only does things by feeling and without going through his brain. At this time, he hadn't woken up yet, he endured the hot pain on his face and said unconvinced: "Father, the child just burned a few Yue family and a few shops, at most a few people were killed and injured, what's the big deal, is it possible that he Yueyang can still lead troops to Yingzhou City?" Unless he wants to rebel! β
"You...... You idiot! Wang Shoucheng was almost stunned by this stupid son, and wanted to slap him again, but Wang Chenglin was obedient this time, and when he saw Lao Tzu raise his hand, he immediately took a few steps back and hid to the side, and finally Wang Shoucheng put down his hand and scolded: "You only know how to eat, drink and have fun, what do you know?" After the Yue family's salt shop was burned, anyone in Yingzhou City who had brains knew that we couldn't escape!
The so-called state-owned national law has family rules, and any industry has its own rules, and we are no exception. If you are like you, once you have a conflict with someone, send someone to burn down his shop and kill his guys, so that everyone will stop doing business and fight with people all day long! Okay now, everyone has just come out, and last night's incident was done by our family, who else will do business with us in Yingzhou City in the future? The reputation that our Wang family has accumulated for hundreds of years has been ruined by you like this, do you understand? β
"And this?"
Hearing his own Lao Tzu say this, Wang Chenglin thought about it, and it seemed that this was really the case. Although this person is short-tempered and impulsive, it does not mean that he has no brains. After thinking about it, he felt as if he had really done something stupid, and he couldn't help but look at Wang Shoucheng anxiously and said, "Father, what ......is it?" So what do we do now? β
"What to do? How do I know what to do? Wang Shoucheng glared at his son angrily, took a deep breath, and then said: "Since the matter has been born, the most important thing now is not to let others seize the handle." We can't admit it, the people who participated in this matter last night immediately transferred them to Datong Mansion or Taiyuan Mansion for their fathers, and now is not the worst time, as long as we grit our teeth and don't admit it, even if the Yue family suspects us, we can't do anything with us. As long as you survive this time, it will be easy to wait until two months after your eldest brother takes office in Taiyuan Mansion, presumably he still has to give a face to inspect the imperial history. β
Speaking of this, Wang Shoucheng couldn't help but glared at the son in front of him again, and Wang Chenglin, who was just about to step forward, retracted his head again.
Just when Wang Shoucheng was about to say something, a rush of footsteps sounded outside the study, and then the door opened, and a middle-aged man in his forties stumbled in with his left arm covered, and before Wang Shoucheng could speak, he threw himself in front of Wang Shoucheng and cried and choked up: "Big brother, it's not good, the batch of green salt we transported from Datong Mansion was hijacked outside the city, and all the dozens of guys and guards who were in custody were all killed, and the younger brother escaped back to Yingzhou City to pick up a life under the desperate protection of the family!" β
"What...... When was this born? β
Wang Shoucheng only stood up suddenly, and then only felt dizzy in his head, his body shook and he was about to fall, Wang Chenglin in front saw this and quickly pounced on his own Lao Tzu and helped him slowly sit on the chair.
Wang Shoucheng slowly sat down in his chair, took a deep breath, and asked, "Shouye, you immediately tell me the whole story!" β
This person is Wang Shoucheng's younger brother Wang Shouye, and he choked up and told the truth as it was......
It turned out that this time the Wang family imported a batch of green salt from Qinghai, and this batch of green salt was very large, more than 20,000 loads, more than 200 carriages, more than 100 men, and nearly 200 guards. Because of the importance of the matter, Wang Shoucheng sent his younger brother Wang Shouye to personally escort this batch of green salt to respond to the state city.
Unexpectedly, when they walked to a pass more than 20 miles away from Yingzhou City, they were suddenly attacked by a group of people wearing various costumes, these people were ambushed on both sides of the road and shot at them with bows and crossbows, and more than 100 guys and nearly 200 guards fell one after another, and when Wang Shoucheng and the guards reflected, most of their people had fallen, and the remaining dozens of guards did not dare to fight with each other, and hurriedly escorted Wang Shouye to Yingzhou City in a hurry, and those people were also in hot pursuit, He chased him until he was less than a mile away from the Yingzhou city wall, and then he left in a huff, and at this time, only one of the dozens of guards who protected Wang Shouye remained.
Listening to Wang Shouye's report, Wang Shoucheng seemed to be ten years old suddenly, and his whole spirit also dimmed, only to hear him sigh in a low voice before he said: "He really took revenge on us, but I didn't expect it to be so soon!" The Wang family is in danger! β
"Big brother, who is he? What happened? Looking at Wang Shoucheng's gloomy expression, Wang Shouye couldn't help but be anxious, during this time he went to Qinghai to escort salt, and he was not in Yingzhou, so he didn't know anything about the past few days.
Wang Shoucheng angrily pointed at Wang Chenglin in front of him and said, "Hmph...... What's going on? You better ask your good nephew, he caused this incident! β
Wang Shouye was stunned at first, then looked at Wang Shouchenglin and asked with a stern expression: "Kuanliang, what is going on!" β
Facing the gaze of his uncle Yan SΓΉ, Wang Chenglin didn't dare to lie, and told the story of sending someone to burn the Yue's salt shop.
"Broad and bright...... You...... How could you do such an unwise thing! After Wang Shouye listened, the whole person was almost stunned, and helplessly pointed at Wang Shoucheng and scolded: "Kuanliang, do you know that as long as this matter spreads, the reputation of our Wang family will be ruined!" And this time I was attacked must have been done by the Yue family, pity my Wang family's tens of thousands of loads of green salt and hundreds of guards! β
It wasn't until now that Wang Chenglin realized what a stupid thing he had done, originally thought that after he used strong measures, the Yue family would give in, and obediently admit defeat and withdraw from Yingzhou City, but now he knew that Yue Yang didn't know how to play hard, but that people were still abiding by the basic rules of the game, but once he took the lead in breaking this rule, the other party would immediately show his original hideous face and sharp claws.
Thinking of this, Wang Chenglin couldn't support it anymore, and collapsed to the ground all of a sudden. Wang Shouye ignored this guilt-ridden nephew, but turned his gaze to Wang Shoucheng and asked, "Big brother, what should we do now?" Although I haven't dealt with that little doll of the Yue family, judging from this encounter, this kid is definitely a ruthless guy. His revenge on us will not stop there, and we will face more of his revenge in the future. β
Wang Shoucheng has no way at this moment, although he has always been known for his tricks in the past, but at this time he has now realized that the intrigues and tricks of the past are completely useless, and the only thing the two sides can do is to compete with real swords and guns, and this kind of thing is exactly what the Wang family lacks.
Seeing the embarrassed look on Wang Shoucheng's face, Wang Shouye said loudly: "Big brother, our Wang family still has more than 200 guards and more than 100 Ding, or the younger brother will immediately gather them to fight with the Yue family, even if we die, we will never let them have a good time!" β
"No!" Wang Shoucheng hurriedly stopped his younger brother's impulse, and shook his head: "No, things have not yet reached the most dangerous moment, and your eldest nephew Chengdong will go to Taiyuan Mansion on business in the name of Ren Inspector Yushi in the near future, as long as Chengdong arrives, he can use his official identity to suppress it, and he is not afraid that the Yue family will not bow his head at that time, now we still have to endure it for the time being, and from tomorrow onwards, the caravan of the Wang family will not be allowed to leave Yingzhou City!" β
In this way, Wang Shoucheng hesitated again and again and decided on this strategy of temporary forbearance, but the exhibition of the matter was not over, and he never thought that Yue Yang would be so violent once he became ruthless.
Although the Wang family adopted a policy of forbearance, hundreds of people in the Wang family had to eat, drink, and lazar, and they had to go out to buy food and daily necessities. On the night of October 12, more than a dozen shops of the Wang family in Yingzhou City were thought to have been set on fire, and dozens of men were killed or wounded.
What is even more strict is that after October 15, 6 news came from Taiyuan Mansion and Datong Mansion, saying that the Wang family's extra shops in Taiyuan and Datong were set on fire by unknown people at the same time at night, and the foundation that the Wang family had worked hard to lay for hundreds of years was basically destroyed overnight, and the news shocked the entire Shanxi as soon as it came out!
