"Zhicai, what should I do now?" Of course, Wang Jin immediately began to ask questions, there was nothing more important for him than his own safety, and Wang Sheng's threat had risen to the level that Wang Jin had to care.

Wei Xizhong smiled indifferently and said, "Why should Boxing worry? As long as you do something beautiful, people's hearts will inevitably be biased towards Boxing. ”

"Oh? What does Zhicai mean? Wang Jin asked rhetorically, as if he had realized something.

Xi Zhong said with a playful smile on his face: "But what the second brother of Boxing can't do, if Boxing can do it, imagine what it will do?" Wang Jin's eyes lit up when he heard this, of course he understood the benefits of this approach that Xi Zhong said, and this was obvious, as long as he could be better than Wang Sheng, there was no doubt that some of the wavering people in the Wang family would turn to support him, and more importantly, he could also get his father's appreciation, so there was no doubt that his chances of getting the inheritance would be greatly increased.

However, Wang Jin can also realize the difficulty of this approach, his second brother can use far more resources at hand than he has, if Wang Sheng can't do it, then it will obviously not change if he changes to himself, thinking of this, Wang Jin immediately realized that Xi Zhong must have unfinished words, so Wang Jin turned to look at Xi Zhong and said: "Mr. teach me!" ”

Don't underestimate the change of this title, if Wang Jin only treated Xiezhong as a retainer before, then changing the title of "Mr" is enough to show that Wang Jin's status has improved Xiezhong's status a lot. Xi Zhong knows how to accept it when he sees it, and it is already a very good result that he can achieve such an effect, so Xi Zhong also smiled and saluted: "Specific things have to be analyzed specifically." Why don't you wait for Boxing to think about it in the long run? Now Zhicai can't say anything useful for a while. ”

This once again won Wang Jin's trust, if Xi Zhong said a long speech, Wang Jin would have some doubts. It's really Xi Zhong's strategy of retreating to advance just to the hurdle in Wang Jin's heart, and Wang Jin is also more confident in Xi Zhong. So early the next morning, Wang Jin went to see his father. First of all, he had to know that his great second brother couldn't do anything.

Of course, Wang Jin is still very pleased that Wang Jin rarely goes home to care about family affairs, his eldest son has always been a gentleman, whether this time it is sincere or not, this is something that makes him feel very relieved. After hearing what Wang Jin said, Wang Fat was even more happy: "Father, the child thought about it for a long time last night, and felt that he shouldn't spend his time so wasted. So what can my father do for me? ”

After all, Wang Fat attaches more importance to his eldest son, although his eldest son has no interest, but after all, it is from his deceased wife, and the blood love cannot be faked: "It's good that you have this heart, and now there are already people in charge of the affairs of the clan." Boxing, if you really have the heart, you might as well start from scratch. Of course, Wang Jin's words were earnest, but Wang Jin was not interested in starting from scratch, so he replied in a low voice with his temper: "Father, the child really wants to contribute to the clan, I only heard a few days ago that the second brother messed up the business once, why didn't my father tell me?" ”

Wang Yan's face changed when he heard this, and he said sharply: "Who told you this?" Wang Jin saw that Wang Fat seemed to have a seizure, and immediately remembered what Xi Zhong said when he and Xi Zhong were separated: "I expect that Bo Xing will inevitably be questioned when he talks about this matter, so he might as well ............ at that time."

So Wang Jin pretended to be sad and replied: "It's spread all over the outside." Who else is there to say? Could it be that my father alone wants to hide it from me? Wang Fat was naturally speechless, even if he was really acting with this kind of thought, but how could he not be embarrassed when he was told to his face by his son: "Boxing, this is not the intention of being a husband, but I am afraid that you will be mistaken by a traitor." ”

When Wang Jin heard this, his face did not change and he said sadly: "Could it be that this Wang clan is Wang Sheng's Wang clan and not my Wang Jin's Wang clan?" Father. The second brother has done a bad business, which is naturally not a big deal, Boxing is not provoking, but the second brother is so willful. The Wang family's family business is afraid that it will eventually lose in his hands. Father, what the child did in the past was also because Boxing was not interested in the family business. It's just that now it seems that it is not wise to hand it over to the second brother to take care of, father! Wang Jin looked at Wang Fat again, and knew that what he had said was not enough, so he spoke again: "A few days ago, when Boxing was entertaining the son of the He family in the wine shop, he told me about it, and I didn't believe it at first, only that he was joking. Yesterday I went to the business house again and found out that this is true. Father, the second brother has his way of doing things, I don't want to say much, but a businessman should put interests first, how can he cut off a trade route with his momentary anger? ”

Of course, these words are not something that Wang Jin can say by himself, these are all instructed by Xi Zhong, and Wang Sheng's mess is no secret in Xiangyi, but Wang Jin is kept in the dark.

Hearing this, Wang Yan let out a long sigh and said, "How can I not know the Tao? Shu Ji has been pampered since he was a child, and he has never suffered or been angry, so he naturally does not know the benefits and disadvantages of businessmen, but after a long time, he will understand after all. Boxing, you don't care about these things. After saying that, he was about to get up and leave, Wang Jin immediately spoke: "Is my father determined to make his second brother the head of the family?" ”

Wang Fat looked back at Wang Jin, and by the morning light, Wang Jin vaguely saw a trace of sadness on Wang Fat's face: "Boxing, what can I do?" You have been unsuccessful for many years, and your uncle doesn't trust you, but your second brother is quite capable, and he has no choice for his father in order for the Wang family to stand all the time. ”

When Wang Jin heard this, he understood that the time had come for Xi Zhong to say, so he immediately spoke: "Is it a bit arbitrary for my father to assert this? If I hand over the second brother's mess to me, if I can't do it, it will naturally be Boxing's incompetence, and the Yu family, which has already messed up, has no loss, but if Boxing does it, then, what does my father say? When Wang Jin said this, he was really holding a cold sweat in his palms, and Xi Zhong taught him that Wang Jin didn't dare to mention half a word in ordinary times, but at this juncture, Wang Jin was also out of his mind.

When Wang Yan heard this, he didn't speak for a long time, and then started to leave: "Then I'll leave it to you, when you do things, all the people and goods in the clan will be deployed by you, and you will be able to compare with your second brother when you do it." If you fail, you will guard your little restaurant. ”

When Wang Jin relayed these words to Xi Zhong, Xi Zhong could only secretly sigh in his heart that the Hao family was ruthless. Even if they are all sons, they have to choose from the family side, but Wang Jin is unexpectedly calm about this. Obviously, he is only concerned about whether the matter he took over can be done: "Zhicai, I have already taken over the matter, but what about solving the Russian law?" ”

Xi Zhong took the tea in the cup and smiled: "Don't worry, Boxing, you still need to figure out what that trade route is going on." It's not too late for you and me to deal with this after we know this. ”

Although Wang Jin knew that he was a little anxious, he couldn't help but be anxious at this time: "I have already taken the file of the clan that records this matter, Zhicai, you can take a look." With that, he took out a book from his sleeve. Turning the first page is about Wang Sheng and the trade route.

More than ten years ago, the Wang family had a business with the Su family of Zhongshan, but it mysteriously disappeared before the caravan arrived in Xiangyi, and this time the merchant siphoned off nearly half of the Wang family's liquidity. And Wang Sheng's inference from this was that the Su clan was making trouble, and the caravan disappeared less than a hundred miles away from Xiangyi. According to the records, a large number of furs were shipped this time, as well as... Swords and armor.

It is not difficult to see the capital of the Wang family, and these smuggling can be much faster than the money from serious operations. However, it is debatable that Su's motives are obvious, and it is obvious that there is no need for Su to privately embezzle goods, because the trade between Su and Wang has been a relationship for decades, and they will never be cut off for such a small benefit, but Wang Sheng is extremely disgusted with Su's representative in Xiangyi and insists that this matter is done by Su, so the trade between the two families will naturally be cut off, and Wang will detain all members of Su's in Xiangyi.

For a behemoth like Wang, the loss of a cargo is naturally not something to worry about. After all, if it is not stable today, it is commonplace to lose goods or be robbed, but it is a fatal thing to cut off the way to trade north, and the key is that the goods are lost inexplicably. Because there was no rumor before and after, to be honest, Xi Zhong's first reaction was also done by the Su family, but this is obviously unreasonable.

"Boxing. When did Su and Wang agree on this deal? Xi Zhong looked up and asked.

Wang Jin frowned and thought for a while: "It's about last month, and there will be two exchanges every six months." So each time the number is not small. Hearing this, Xi Zhong was even more sure that this matter was definitely not done by the Su family, this was a customary transaction and not a temporary decision, so it meant that this was obviously not done by the Su family himself. So why did Wang Sheng insist that it was Su Shi's doing?

"Boxing, Shuji, that is, Wang Sheng, has there been any unusual behavior recently?" I like to always suddenly think of a possibility.

Wang Jin didn't think about it this time, and immediately replied: "Recently, he has been very close to the official person, although it is said to be to dredge up the relationship, but I don't think so." How? Zhicai, do you think it was Shuji's doing? How would he do this? Although I don't agree with him, he can't be stupid enough to steal his own goods, right? ”

Xi Zhong smiled and didn't answer, just lowered his head and continued to look at the records in the book, but soon he finished reading it. But all the doubts are not decreasing but increasing, the most incomprehensible thing is in front of us, this batch of goods Su and Wang must be dotted, why is it that half of the road is robbed now?

What makes Xi Zhong even more puzzled is why Wang Sheng is so sure that it was Su Shi's doing, there must be some article in this, before Xi Zhong was willing to help Guo Jia was just out of friend morality, but at this time, Xi Zhong suddenly felt that this matter might be very interesting. At this time, Xi Zhong didn't have a general idea, and Wang Jin didn't dare to force it, so he asked Xi Zhong to go back to rest first, and then he went to find out if there was any missing information, but Xi Zhong thought that it would definitely not be useful anymore, it had been more than ten days since the incident, and what should have been erased has long been erased, and now the only thing to rely on is inference.

And Guo Jia was also very concerned about this matter, even before Wang Jin asked Xi Zhong, he noticed this matter, and the shadow also brought Xi Zhong an unexpected gain: almost everyone in the caravan left Xiangyi for various reasons in just ten days.

This made Xi Zhong even more interested, obviously these people must know the inside story, but it is obviously impossible to find it now. Xi Zhong believes that these people are afraid that they are no longer alive, and that batch of goods is likely to be in Xiangyi, but which party did it do? Who made a deal with Wang Sheng, so that he was sure that it was the Su family?

The situation in Xiangyi is too complicated, and there are not one or two wealthy families who have disputes with the Wang family. This is called liking and always having a feeling of nowhere to start, because it seems that everyone has a reason to start. But it's all plausible. The only clue to this matter is Wang Sheng, but Xi Zhong doesn't think that this guy will obediently spit out the truth. But even Guo Jia has to admit that he doesn't have any clue at the moment. Everything points to bandits, but why are all the members of the caravan missing? If it was really a thief, why did the caravan not suffer any casualties after the goods were stolen? It seems that nothing makes sense.

Even if it says that the caravan was stunned in the smoke, but there were at most a few people, how could it be possible that the entire caravan was stunned? This matter is strange and difficult to guess, but Xi Zhong still has gains, over there is Wang Sheng who is absolutely inseparable from this matter, the only problem is that this thing cannot be done by Wang Sheng himself, so who is the accomplice? In other words, who can make Wang Sheng not hesitate to sell his family's interests?

On the second day, Wang Jin, as Xi Zhong expected, did not bring any useful news. The only interesting thing is that Wang Jin brought another book, which is the account book.

"Why did Boxing show me this?" Xi Zhong is also very curious about this.

Wang Jin's panic in his expression was naturally evident, and he explained in a hurry: "I saw something wrong when I looked through the account books last night, which has been spending for unknown reasons in the clan for several months, and I didn't find out who took it when I checked it, and I also asked my father specifically, but he didn't know where he went. Xi Zhongqi said: "What is the connection between this and the matter in front of you?" Wang Jin frowned and said: "The problem is that these are all related to Wang Sheng, and the people who have been in charge of the accounts for the past few months are all his people, so I think ......"

"Wait. Wang Sheng? You said that in the last few months, it has been your second brother who has been in charge of affairs? ”

"Not bad."

Xi Zhong suddenly realized that these things were inseparable from Wang Sheng after all, and these in the account books undoubtedly showed that he seemed to be currying favor with someone, or bribing someone. This is by no means a coincidence, but a long time ago. It's just who is the person behind this plan? Xi Zhong was very curious about who the person who planned this plan was and what the purpose was. Obviously, this action is unlikely to hit the Wang family, and the only thing that is puzzling is that Wang Sheng himself cut off one of his own trade routes. How exactly is this explained? Xi Zhong couldn't figure it out.

What also puzzled Xi Zhong was that Wang Fat actually sat back and watched Wang being cut off from business by his son and did nothing, which is also worth exploring carefully. And Xi Zhong's hunch told him that it was going to be interesting.

At the same time that Xi Zhong understood these situations, the Phantom also began to move, although the intelligence network was not fully rolled out, but these well-known anecdotes have always been the talk of ordinary people after dinner, and the Phantom can easily get a lot of information from it, of course, as for whether it is true and effective, it is not in the Phantom's plan for the time being, but Bo will deal with these.

To Guo Jia and Xi Zhong's disbelief, there seems to be no news about the entire Xiangyi for the caravan that mysteriously disappeared, and the more interesting thing is that no matter how much they investigate, they can't know where the goods that were taken away have gone, it is not a small batch of goods, according to Wang Jin, the armor and weapons in that batch of goods are enough to equip a thousand people, although Xi Zhong thinks it is a little exaggerated, but presumably eight hundred people are indispensable, and such a large number of things cannot be mysteriously missing. Xi Zhong concluded that these things must still be in Xiangyi, but he didn't know where they were placed and who was in their hands. Through several days of investigation of Xiangyi and news through Wang Jin, it does not seem like the practice of the wealthy gentry in Xiangyi. The same thing that Xi Zhong cared about, that is, where the people in the caravan had disappeared, or who had died.

Xi Zhong must admit that he has encountered a lot of trouble, and he instinctively feels that the truth behind this incident may be shaking the entire Xiangyi, of course, Xi Zhong has no intention of planning for Xiangyi, what he wants is the turmoil in Xiangyi, and the purpose of this incident may coincide with their purpose of coming to Xiangyi.

"Fengxiao, let's make a bet."

"Bet on what?"

"I bet that after this matter is revealed, Xiangyi will inevitably change!" Xi Zhong is full of confidence. Guo Jia just smiled and replied: "Then you have to find out the truth first, Zhicai, my intuition tells me that this matter is not that simple!" ”

"Of course it won't be easy, otherwise how could I have fun?" There was a deep banter in Xi Zhong's tone.

Of course, Wang Jin didn't expect that his drinking friends and gambling friends were actually all the way, and he couldn't guess what kind of storm was hidden on the way to the position of head of the family that he wanted to regain. It's just that some of them are no longer under Wang Jin's control, and after getting the rights from Wang Jin, Xi Zhong conveniently planted the shadow of the shadow, and in the name of the Wang family, Guo Jia and Xi Zhong at this time have almost mastered the movements of the entire Xiangyi.

The truth will soon be found out, and Xi Zhong has already smelled the truth. (To be continued......)
