Chapter 103: Questions and Answers (I)

An erlen-shaped transparent glass bottle was carried to the dining table by the servants, containing water, apple juice, distilled spirits, milk, and even a few dark blue ice cubes, and underneath the glass bottle was a small golden bowl containing coal and tobacco, and a thin hose was inserted into the mouth of the glass bottle.

The servant lit the coal of the golden bowl, and the blue-gray smoke rose thickly, filtered through the mixture of glass bottles, and turned into milky white smoke, which continued to rise under the residual heat of the coal.

Jing Qingjiao bit the hose in her mouth, turned the small steel ball in the adjustment hole in the hose, and finally found a comfortable rhythm, sitting in a wheelchair and swallowing the clouds.

These complex combinations of utensils are the 'health pastimes' that have been popular among the wealthy in Xuanzhu County for many years - Dining Xia. However, compared to the name of "fairy" such as the smoke of the dining glow, ordinary people who hate the rich pretending to be forced prefer to call it a hookah.

The tobacco industry is the mainstay of the top industry in the Silver Blood Club, and no chamber of commerce can eat alone, now the three major tobacco stores in Xuanzhu County have various chambers of commerce to inject capital and cooperation, not only exported overseas, even in the whole territory of Huiyao, 'Dongyang tobacco' is also a well-known big brand.

However, rich people of course also know that smoking and drinking are not good for their health, but they still have to enjoy it, otherwise why make so much money? Do you practice tactics?

So they invented a rich man's 'smoking method': first let the smoke of tobacco burning through a 'water base' mixed with apple juice, milk, and distilled spirits, and then slowly smoke through a hose, which is both elegant and healthy, and the taste is also milky and winey, both in style and taste, far more advanced than the smoking methods of mud legs.

Once the hookah was launched, it directly swept the entire Xuanzhu County, and Jing Qingfu is a hookah lover who suffers from severe 'smoke fetish', even if he is lying in bed, he has to smoke hookah every day. The hookah utensils he has collected over the years alone can fill a room, and it is even called the 'Treasure Palace'.

Jing Qingfu actually has no disease in his body, and with his status, if he is sick, he has already asked the medical officer to use light therapy for comprehensive anti-virus. The reason why he was dying of old age at the age of fifty or so was not only because of the low average life expectancy of the Huiyao people (the vigorous vitality caused by the activation of mental power was actually the loss of life expectancy), but also because of his smoke fetish.

Smoking is harmful to health.

After he comfortably smoked a few puffs of cigarette, Jing Qingfu picked up the chopsticks and put a green vegetable in the rice bowl, coughed and said, "Pick up the chopsticks." ”

Huifu Hall remembered the sound of staggering, but still no one spoke, everyone had no intention of eating at all, and all their attention was focused on the main table.

Originally, everyone was ready to cry twice and shed a few tears, waiting to eat Jing Qingyi's funeral dinner, and then happily welcome the new head of the family, but today Jing Qingyi was able to come out in a wheelchair - is his health improving? Or is it a return to the light.

Many people looked at Jing Zhengfeng, who had been drinking with his head down, and had a faint guess in his heart. The head of the family called the fourth son Jing Zhengfeng back at the family banquet, indicating that he planned to gather all the troubles together and solve them at once.

It is true that time is running out.

And tonight, there will be a major earthquake in Jingjia.

There are few people at the main table who have the heart to eat, even Qinglan, an outsider, can detect the weird heaviness of the atmosphere, only Le Yu and Jing Zhengtang eat and drink as if they are nothing, but Le Yu eats alone, and Jing Zhengtang will also pick up vegetables for his fiancée Feiwei.

Le Yu couldn't help but look at Fei Wei twice, in fact, in all fairness, this girl who fascinated the three young masters of the Jing family and the three souls and seven spirits is not a country and a city - but it is certainly not ugly, the Jing family is also very picky in buying servants, and the ugly girl doesn't even have the opportunity to enter Jing Garden as a servant - but I don't know if it is because of the support of Jing Zhengtang or her own mentality, Fei Wei gives people the feeling that she is a demure temperament that is not shocked, which makes people trust and dare not insult.

Suddenly, Jing Zhengfeng put down the wine glass heavily and said, "Say it, don't ...... old man."

At this time, he glanced at Le Yu, who was sitting next to him, and noticed Le Yu's elegant and easy-going expression, and immediately confused vaguely: "...... What the hell is the matter with you coming to me? My time is precious, unlike you who can spend all day having fun. ”

Jing Qingjiao spit out a white mist and snorted coldly: "What, can't you even handle the mess of the Qinghong Gang?" Waste is waste. ”

Jing Zhengfeng was not angry, "After all, the Qinghong Gang is a group of outlaws who dare to kill and fight, unlike these rice worms raised by your Jing family, it is a lot more troublesome to manage." ”

The rice worms raised by the Jing family? Workers, servants, or their people?

Many clansmen were furious when they heard this, but few dared to stand up and shake their faces at Jing Zhengfeng. Hearing this, Le Yu found out the details of Jing Zhengfeng from his memory, and couldn't help but glance at him.

Jing Zhengfeng is a wild species left by the frog frog, which has been mixed in the slums of the outer city since childhood. But according to Jing Zhengwei's analysis, Jing Qingyi should have been secretly observing this fourth son, but he never took him home, and it was not until three years ago that Jing Zhengfeng's true identity was announced to everyone.

At that time, Jing Zhengfeng was already the largest gang in the outer city of Xuanzhu County, the three gang leaders of the Qinghong Gang.

In Xuanzhu County, gangsters have always been an unavoidable problem, and they are also the only gray area where various forces can compete with each other. An organization like the Silver Blood Society, which includes officials, businessmen, military and politics, naturally has many factions inside, and even the top ten chambers of commerce have people eyeing each other, and the bottom forty chambers of commerce have changed a batch of new faces almost every ten years, and the official military is also surging with fierce competition.

All vested interests want to maintain their position, and the easiest way to implement it, and the most immediate effect, is, of course, violence.

But the Assassin Order didn't take orders from within the Silver Blood Society, and the merchants weren't stupid enough to let the Yang Army get involved in their competition—it was just a table-flipping dimensionality reduction.

But violent gangs can't be formed in a day, and the rules of the Silver Blood Society do not allow violent infighting, and it is good that no evidence is left, but if the evidence is caught, the Silver Blood Society will divide and eat themselves.

Naturally, gangsters became the choice of all chambers of commerce. It is convenient for military training, easy to control, and it is lost if it is used...... Since the day the Silver Blood Society was established, the gang has always been the dark side of Xuan Candle County, and those brave and ruthless young people have entered the mercenary gang, which is also convenient for the Silver Blood Society to control, killing multiple birds with one stone.

Jing Zhengfeng can become the leader of the three gangs at a young age, in addition to his outstanding personal ability, Jing Qingfeng's secret help is absolutely indispensable. It was also because of Jing Zhengfeng's identity that the clansmen did not dare to provoke him indiscriminately - nothing frightened meat eaters more than violence.

The most important thing is that they feel that Jing Qingyi is actually very optimistic about Jing Zhengfeng. In the entire family, only Jing Zhengfeng dared to spray against Jing Qing Worm, which was enough to explain everything.

If Jing Qingyi vigorously supports Jing Zhengfeng to take the position, it is not impossible......

"Outlaws are difficult to manage, because they have nothing, and those who have concerns are equivalent to weaknesses, and if they have weaknesses, they can be exploited." Jing Qingyi said lightly: "But you have to remember one thing - outlaws only have two results, either they become the latter, or they ...... Die. You can now run amok as an outlaw, but when you have concerns, you also have to suffer the backlash of this identity. ”

To put it simply, it is 'come out and go, sooner or later you have to pay it back', 'people are floating in the rivers and lakes, how can you not be knifed'...... Leyu wanted to say a few gangster quotes to sum it up, but the lobster in his hand was very fragrant, and he missed the opportunity to pretend to be forced while eating.

Jing Zhengfeng snorted and did not refute.

Jing Qingyu took another sip of Baixia and said, "Look at all of you...... Only Zhengfeng and Zhengtang know that they should eat when they eat. Even if something happens, and you fast like this, it's just a waste of time. ”

Jing Zhengwu shook his head: "Father, we are worried about your physical condition, so we have no intention of eating. ”

What do you mean, I'm not worried about eating a mouth full of fat?

Although this is indeed the case, how did this younger brother manage to make every word of the yin and yang weird and the gun with a stick...... Le Yu secretly complained in his heart, and Jing Zhengtang hurriedly explained: "Father, I, I'm also worried about you!" ”

"Alright."

Jing Qingxuan took a few mouthfuls of Baixia before slowly saying, "The Silver Blood Society has an opinion on the Jing family. ”

When the people who listened with their ears heard these words, their faces suddenly changed greatly!

The Silver Blood Society is not only a union of chambers of commerce, but also includes Quanyuan, the Archon of Dongyang, the county guard Yunqinghe, the governor of the Yang Army, Gai Shiwen, the Wanghai Gonghu Yanxiu and other forces, the Silver Blood Society has opinions on the Jing family, this matter can be big or small, if one is not handled well, it may be a disaster of annihilation!

"You don't have to be too nervous, in fact, this matter has been going on for a long time, and I was going to take a few years to deal with it, but ...... Ahem. ”

Jing Qingyu coughed twice, took another breath of Baixia, and continued: "Our Jing family controls one-third of the plantations around Xuanzhu County, has five factories, three mines, and tens of thousands of workers and slaves who depend on the Jing family for food. ”

"The Silver Blood Society is not so much dissatisfied with the Jing family, but actually dissatisfied with all the chambers of commerce that have a large number of worker slaves. Now that the displaced people in the Skyline District have come to Dongyang District, the Chamber of Commerce can choose to hire cheaper and harder Skyrim people, but at the same time, because the war in various districts is about to break out, the traffic is cut off, and a large number of goods cannot be shipped out for sale, cough cough ......"

“…… There are many factors, and the most direct result is that our chamber of commerce shrinks and develops, lowers workers' wages and even fires workers...... And the workers can't survive anymore, so naturally they will start making trouble, coupled with the instigation and instigation of the Backlight organization......"

Jing Qingjiao exhaled a long breath of turbidity: "Just our Jing family, there have been many workers' riots in the past few years, and the purpose of the Silver Blood Society is to maintain the stable development of Xuanzhu County...... They hope that our Jing family can control the workers and slaves, and no matter what, don't give the backlight organization a chance. ”

"So......" he looked around, his gaze sweeping over the four Jing brothers, "If it were you, what were you going to do about it?" ”

How to deal with it? Give money, give a lot of money, do you want the horse to run and not give the horse grass? There is more money and less things to do close to home, so you have to meet one, right?

Although the ass is already sitting in the position of the capitalist, he still stands on the side of the poor proletariat in his heart.

"Father."

Jing Zhengwu said loudly: "If you want to deal with these rabble, the method couldn't be simpler. ”
