Although on the surface, Fushun is still the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and it is Li Yongfang who is in charge of this place by the guerrillas of the Thousand Households. But the news that Zhou Qingfeng, the 'world's number one monk', secretly controlled Fushun, spread on a large scale in the market, after all, Zhou Qingfeng's methods of seizing power were still a little harsh and crude, and some positions were directly occupied by people to squeeze out other vested interest groups.

Everyone is now avoiding the edge for the time being, and they don't want to end up like Lord Zhao Yihe. Disgruntled people are also secretly observing, waiting for others to be the first bird, and also waiting to see if Zhou Qingfeng wants to use the means in the west of the city to the whole city. For example, a lot of sanitation - as long as people who have been to the west of the city are quite looking forward to this, after all, no one likes the dirty and messy environment.

But Zhou Qingfeng, who has a monopoly on power, doesn't do these trivial things anymore. He just took out the yellow register of household registration in the name of Li Yongfang and asked for the city's population to be re-registered. At the same time, he also conducted a formalized assessment and inspection in his own system, mercilessly eliminated a group of unqualified personnel, and absorbed a group of young, promising and more qualified people.

There are many people who pay attention to the changes in the city. The most attentive person is afraid that it will belong to Wang Kai, who was once full of friends and is now desolate and hasty. Since the battle of the 'coal mining village', he didn't even dare to go back to Fushun City, and walked around the city to Shenyang. After staying in Shenyang for a day, he heard the official news that Li Yongfang and Zhou Qingfeng were reconciled as before.

"It's as good as ever." Wang Kai's industry covers the entire Liaodong, but the nest is still in Fushun. But now Fushun is lost, which is equivalent to taking half his life. Especially his housekeeper secretly took refuge in Zhou Qingfeng, and even leaked all his old bottoms.

After more than 30 years of hard work, it was all lost.

Wang Yuanwai is really unwilling!

In the past few days, Wang Kai has been in Shenyang like a dead heart, depressed all day long, and almost wants to hang himself from the beam. It wasn't until his servant in Shenyang came the latest news that Zhou Qingfeng was engaged in 'governance and rectification' in Fushun, and he released the wind to recruit talents.

"Master, the little one sent to inquire about the news came back and said that there were many storytellers in Fushun who were spreading it all over the market. It is rumored that Zhou Qingfeng expelled more than 100 of his subordinates, and there were even close old subordinates who followed him back from Er and Kulun. ”

Oh......?

Wang Kai's house in Shenyang is also quite spacious, and he has been resting in the backyard for the past two days. News from Fushun can always be the first to come in. In the backyard, Wang Kai is not alone, Tan Feng, who was defeated a few days ago, is also there. He joined Wang Kai when he fled the battlefield, and the two relied on each other to come to Shenyang.

In addition to Tan Feng, the 'treacherous assassin' who once wanted to assassinate Zhou Qingfeng was also there. This assassin fled halfway, but joined halfway, which can be regarded as a gang with Wang Kai. Although Wang Kai was unlucky, he did not resist the two at the moment of crisis, but accepted them. 'Thorn' reveals that the prototype is a thin middle-aged man, the kind that stands out in the crowd.

Hearing that Zhou Qingfeng even expelled the old subordinates who came with him from Er and Kulun, Tan Feng was a little surprised. He had been in the forces in the west of the city, and knew that Zhou Qingfeng relied on more than twenty slaves to follow when he started. These people are loyal to Zhou Qingfeng and are relied on as the backbone of their lineage.

"What did you say about the reason for the expulsion?" In the pavilion in the backyard, Tan Feng asked the servant who came to report the news.

The servant said: "Zhou Qingfeng doesn't seem to be shy about this matter, but instead hypes it up. The expelled people are guilty of all kinds of mistakes, most of them are incompetent, lazy, unwilling to improve, and so on. He even openly said that he was a ruthless person, and he would not offset today's mistakes because of yesterday's achievements. If you want to get a high salary, you have to keep working hard, so that he will not be stingy with money.

Now everyone in Fushun City is talking about this matter, and they all say that Zhou Qingfeng is mean and unkind, and he doesn't miss the old feelings. But under such a noisy shout, no one cares about Lord Li's seizure of power anymore. ”

can work under Zhou Qingfeng, and he never gets less money a month, and there are definitely many people who are red-eyed. He and Kulun followed Zhou Qingfeng back, and they could have more than 20 taels of salary and allowance every month, which was very enviable. It's really surprising that such a good job is not available.

'Thorny' was the highest cultivation among the three, and he stood alone and said, "Zhou Qingfeng's move is probably to confuse people's ears and disturb the audio-visual. He is really bold, he must have used some cruel means to control Li Yongfang in order to be the master of Fushun. It's a pity what's the use of blocking the mouth of the market? He couldn't stop the mouths of the governor of Liaodong and the chief military officer of Liaodong. ”

Wang Kai was sitting in the pavilion making tea, shaking his head slightly at the judgment of 'thorny', but he did not argue. He asked his servant, "What else is there?" ”

The servant said: "In addition to driving people away, Zhou Qingfeng is still recruiting. ”

"He's hiring again?" Wang Kai smiled bitterly a few times and said to Tan Feng: "You, the old master, like to spend money to recruit people the most, I don't know how many times this is." ”

Tan Feng was also drinking tea, but he couldn't laugh when he heard the words, "Don't you see that Zhou Qingfeng likes to spend money, he has a greater ability to make money." He is very good at recruiting people, and he is even more powerful at training people. He has only been in the west of the city for half a year, and his power has expanded a hundred times but he can hold on, and he is really capable of producing people under his hands. ”

"That's right." Wang Kai nodded and said, "Isn't the tall cow trained by Zhou Qingfeng?" It is said that the kid was starving on the street before, and he was about to die if he didn't come up in one breath. Now he has become a dignified commander, and his subordinates control many elite soldiers, and they can even drive away Lord Li's family with the weak defeating the strong. ”

At the mention of the tall cow, Tan Feng was full of anger, and he pinched the teacup in his hand with hatred. Wang Kai glanced at him and persuaded in a low voice: "Brother Tan should introspect, you are obviously stronger than Gao Da Niu, why were you defeated by him?" The battle for dominance on the battlefield is not at a moment, why don't you take my name card to visit General Zhang's mansion? Wang still has a little face in Mr. Zhang, maybe he can help Brother Tan get an official position. ”

Tan Feng hated and annoyed, but was moved by Wang Kai's words, and after a long sigh, he asked for a famous post and went out. 'Thorn' watched Tan Feng leave, but sneered and said, "This fool doesn't seem to be convinced, is it possible that he wants to stay and fight with Zhou Qingfeng?" Does he know what kind of power a ninth-level great monk has? We couldn't even hold a glance when we went up. ”

Wang Kai felt that the 'treacherous' brain was a little bad, Tan Feng was clearly too famous, where was he going to fight with Zhou Qingfeng? He couldn't say it directly, so he asked, "What are your plans, 'treacher' brother?" ”

"I was originally pulled by Gu Yuanwei, but now it seems that the water in Fushun is too deep, and I don't dare to provoke Zhou Qingfeng again." The 'thorn' shook his head, and suddenly turned into a ball of wind and blew away, and the person shouted in the air: "I have nowhere to go, so it's better to help Tan Feng." ”

Wang Kai is now sure that 'treacherousness' really has a problem with his brain, and there is no rule at all to act. He also sighed, and then asked the servant, "Is there any news yet?" ”

"Yes." The servant said: "The housekeeper Zeng in the house is now the head of the Commerce and Trade Section under Zhou Qingfeng. The property left by the old man in the mansion seems to have been grabbed by him. ”

Wang Kaibang slammed the tea table, the teapot fell, and the hot tea spilled all over the ground. The servant jumped in shock, only to see his master's round face flushed, and scolded bitterly: "This old bastard, I have trusted him for so many years, and he actually stabbed me in the back." ”

The servant hesitated for a moment or two, but then said another thing, "Master, it is said that the Jurchen Nurhachi in the north is really fighting hard and wants to attack Fushun. ”

Wang Kai scolded angrily: "Then you still need to say, master, I am not a fool." Nurhachi, a wolf-hearted dog, made a fortune from our Daming, but now he wants to bite us Daming in turn. Master, most of my family property is in Fushun, and I can't escape under the chaos. This time, it was because of him that he made a big mess of my lord. ”

The servant continued: "Steward Zeng sent someone to say that he had no intention of embezzling the master's property, and asked the master to return to Fushun to preside, and said that Zhou Qingfeng also had no intention of harming the master's life, but wanted to cooperate. ”

"Is he really stupid? I went and didn't fall into the net? Wang Kai's first reaction was to be furious, and he slapped the tea table again. Now that he has no Li Yongfang as a backer, he already has cowardice towards Zhou Qingfeng in his heart, where can he dare to go to Zhou Qingfeng again? "Is there anything else going on in Fushun?"

"There's nothing going on in Fushun City, but ......outside Fushun City, I heard that Zhou Qingfeng is going to build a clothing and shoe factory recently, and he is purchasing fabrics everywhere. He built the workshop outside the city and recruited more than 200 young women to work in it. It is said that there are dozens of people, and the construction is quite fast.

It is estimated that Lord Li's assets are in the hands of Zhou Qingfeng, I heard that he recently opened a warehouse to release grain, and exchanged grain for women and young people, even young children. Many people feel that there is a big advantage and want to take advantage of it.

Oh yes. And one more miracle. It is said that Zhou Qingfeng is recruiting criminals, who want to be young, and the price of silver is very high. Many people in Liaodong have heard about this, and I am afraid that there are not a few people who are tempted. In short, he is spending a lot of money now, and there are many people who are willing to do business with him. ”

The more Wang Kai listened, the more aggrieved he became, and many of the money that Zhou Qingfeng used to squander was his. But now he can only watch, and he can't do anything. It's as if the beautiful lady who I worked so hard to marry fell into the hands of the enemy and enjoyed it day and night, and the sound and movement of the enjoyment were still heard in my ears, which felt too bad.

The servant saw that Wang Kai's face was ugly, and he wanted to retreat slowly.

But Wang Kai suddenly stared at the servant and asked, "Do you think Zhou Qingfeng is powerful?" ”

Needless to say?

The servant nodded quickly.

"Is he as good as me?" Wang Kai asked again.

It was not easy to answer, and the servant had a bitter face. This expression is the answer.

Wang Kai asked again: "Is there really a rumor that Zhou Qingfeng asked me to go back?" ”

The servant hesitated for a while, took out two letters from his bosom and said, "Someone came to the door yesterday to deliver a letter, saying that it was sent from Fushun. I see that the old man is angry, and I dare not show the old man. ”

"Believe ......? You're a dog, what does it matter if I'm angry or not, sir? You dare to intercept my letter to my lord? Wang Kai stepped forward a few steps and snatched the letter and opened it. The first letter was written by Steward Zeng, to the effect that Wang Kai's family property was still there, the used part was recorded, and all the money was not taken. The position of head of the Commerce and Trade Section was actually reserved for Wang Kai.

Sneer......ing, Wang Kai disdainfully threw away the housekeeper's letter. I went to read the letter written by Zhou Qingfeng again.

Uncle Zhou's letter is much simpler - Lao Tzu won, and he can generously forget the bad things in the past. Now that the form is reversed, the destiny is in me, and you don't have to be hypocritical anymore. If you return to Fushun within three days, all the property will be returned to you, and the position of the head of the Commerce and Trade Section will be reserved for you, and your butler will be your deputy to supervise you. If you do not return within three days, your property will be confiscated.

You can do it!

Wang Kai was shocked when he read the letter, he grabbed the servant's neck and asked, "Again, when did this letter come?" ”

"Arrived yesterday."

The letter that arrived yesterday was sent from Fushun the day before yesterday, and the third day is today.

Wang Kai jumped up and scolded sharply: "You dog, it's a big deal to delay my master." ”
