Chapter 492: Meng Deyou Comes to Vote
Kong Yisheng saw that there was no one around, so he said what he meant. He wanted his son to go through the training so that he could inherit the inheritance of their Confucian family in the future.
Wang Chong thought about it for a while and felt that Kong Yisheng should not have any conspiracy. I'm ready to say yes. At this time, Wang Zheng suddenly saw Kong Yuan standing in the distance from them. I'm looking at this side expectantly.
Kong Yuan's eyes turned from time to time. Wang Chong opened the Heavenly Eye, and he found Kong Yuan looking at where Jing Xin was. Wang Chong immediately understood. It must have been Kong Yuan who wanted to get close to meditation, so he was in a hurry to force Kong Yisheng to cooperate with the Tianyuan Society.
Wang Chong pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Mr. Kong." I would love to work with you. Now, though, things have changed. As you can see, General Ma Shan of Huayang Province wants to join the development of the canal. I didn't dare to offend Lord Mashan, so I had to agree to his request. Lord Ma Shan and the White Governor's Mansion have already discussed it. It was decided that the canals within the boundaries of Xiangyang Province would be under the responsibility of the government offices of the two places. You see....... ”
Wang Chong's meaning is already very clear. There is nothing left in this canal for the Kong family. As soon as Kong Yisheng heard that Ma Shan was going to participate in the management of the canal, bitterness immediately appeared on his face.
Who Ma Shan is, of course Kong Yisheng knows. That's a big name. You know, there aren't many prefects who can hold two hats. This shows Ma Shan's status in the imperial court.
Kong Yisheng still didn't give up. He asked, "Your Excellency." We've had an agreement a long time ago. The operation of the canal, in any case, you will give me some. ”
Kong Yisheng made his last effort, and Wang Chong smiled secretly in his heart. This old guy still had a casual attitude towards cooperation before. When someone comes to grab it, then I know that I am in a hurry.
Wang Chong pretended to have a helpless expression. He sighed and said to Kong Yisheng: "Whoever made us almost become a family." In this way, I'll go back and discuss with the military advisor, and then fight for the Kong family. I hope that the military adviser can have a good way. ”
Kong Yisheng immediately thanked Wang Chong with a thousand thanks. Wang Chong didn't want to see his virtue, so he hurriedly said goodbye and left.
The cargo on board has been unloaded. Jingxin took Changxi and the people of the Heavenly Fate Association have long since left. Bai Huanzhi and Ma Shan also returned to the government.
Wang Chong was alone, out of the dock, and walked towards the century-old store. As soon as he walked out of his reluctance, he heard someone call him. Wang Chong looked back. At the corner of an alley, Meng Deyou was waving to him.
Wang Chong had a good impression of this young man. Since I met it, I walked over.
Meng Deyou pulled Wang Chong into the alley. first gave Wang Chongshen a salute, and then said: "The kid is abrupt, disturbing the general."
Wang Chong smiled: "It's okay. I'm idle. Meng Gongzi has something to do with me? Just say. ”
Meng Deyou saw that Wang Chong was not angry because of his rash visit. At this moment, his heart relaxed.
Meng Deyou said to Wang Chong straight to the point: "I am looking for the general, because I have something to ask for." Wang Chong motioned for him to continue.
Meng Deyou said again: "General." Did Kong Yisheng look for you just now? I suspect he must have come for the canal. I would like to ask the Shogun to accept me into the Heavenly Destiny Society. Let me take charge of negotiating with him. ”
Wang Chong asked curiously, "Why is this Gongzi Meng?" Can you tell me about it? ”
A hint of hatred appeared on Meng Deyou's face. He stabilized his mind and said to Wang Chong.
The grievances of the Confucian and Mencian families are not clear to outsiders. Although Wang Chong knows some inside information, he is not in-depth.
The two families of Confucius and Mencius have been friends for generations. The strength of the two has always been almost the same. It wasn't until Kong Yisheng's generation that the Kong family and the Meng family began to distance themselves.
The Meng family's family was not weak. It's just because Meng Ling is really happy and charitable, so most of the family property is scattered. and because of Kong Yisheng back then. There was a lawsuit for his life, and Meng Lingzhen went around in order to help him. In the end, the family was emptied.
Meng Lingzhen regarded money as dung and didn't care about these things outside his body at all. The Meng family has great respect for Meng Lingzhen. No one in the Meng family objected to his decision.
However, Meng Ling Zhenyun Mountain was killed, and Meng Deyou, as the son of the Meng family, took on the heavy responsibility of the Meng family. He was not like his father, who only thought about other people's interests and did not care about his own suffering.
After Meng Lingzhen's accident, the Kong family ignored it. Meng Deyou was very angry. So, he came to the door several times to test the reaction of the Kong family on the grounds that Meng Lingzhen was running the funeral.
After research, Meng Deyou determined that Kong Yisheng did not regard his father as a brother. Kong Yisheng never thought of helping the Meng family.
Meng Deyou was angry about Kong Yisheng's behavior. On the surface, he is still very respectful to Kong Yisheng, but behind the scenes, he is trying to take revenge on him.
When Meng Deyou met Wang Chong, he knew that his opportunity had come. Meng Deyou has been secretly monitoring Kong Yisheng, and when he saw Kong Yisheng coming to Wang Chong, he waited for the opportunity to contact Wang Chong.
Meng Deyou put his heart together, and Wang Chong felt that Meng Deyou was very truthful. Wang Chong comforted him a few words and asked him to go to the century-old store tomorrow morning to find him.
Back at the century-old restaurant, everyone else was eating. Because of Changxi's arrival, everyone was very happy. Especially the big twin brothers who sang while walking, they have the best relationship with Changxi.
Wang Chong saw that Luohe was also sitting. Wang Chong understands Luohe, he is a person who does not like to join in the fun. Luo He can come, which means that he is really willing to join the Tianyuan Society, and he wants to have a good relationship with the people of the Tianyuan Society as soon as possible.
As soon as Wang Chong came back, Chang Xihe pulled him to sit while walking and singing, and Wang Chong sat between Jingxin and Luohe.
Wang Chong told Jingxin and Luohe about Kong Yisheng's coming to him and Meng Deyou's intention to join the Tianyuan Society.
Luo He is already the head of the Tianyuan Society in Xiangyang Mansion. So these things should be known to him.
Quietly listened to Wang Chong's story. She laughed, "That's a good thing. If Kong Yisheng wanted to participate in the affairs of the canal, he had to give up some land. As long as the conditions are met, we will have a foothold in Xiangyang Mansion again. ”
Luo He also said: "The military advisor is very right. The Kong family has a lot of land in Xiangyang. As a result, he had a number of tenants as his advocates. The reason why the power of the Kong family is so huge is also because of these people. If we own a part of the land, we can weaken the power of the Confucian family. ”
After discussion between the three of them, it was decided to agree to Kong Yisheng's request. Moreover, Luo He, as the head of Xiangyang Mansion, chose to agree with Meng Deyou as the negotiator of the Tianyuan Society. Jing Xin said again, please Luohe take full responsibility for this matter. Luohe said that he must be dedicated.
After the banquet, Wang Chong sent someone to find Meng Deyou. He, Jingxin and Luohe summoned Meng Deyou in the century-old store.
Wang Chong introduced Luohe to Meng Deyou. said that he would obey the leadership of Luohe in the future.
Meng Deyou had heard of Luohe. He had great respect for Luohe. Luohe explained some of the conditions for the negotiation to Meng Deyou. Meng Deyou understood. He also proposed that the Confucian family should divide a part of the fishery. This is also one of the sources of income for the Kong family.
