57 factions
"I heard that in the evening, something happened to the Wang family." When Wanyue covered him with a blanket, she said, "Thirteen Shao, this matter is ...... I always feel that there is a big trouble, and I heard that a few days ago there was a maid of the Wang family in our courtyard who was punished......"
Xiao Nan put his hands on the rest of his head, and his mind flashed back to what had happened just a few hours ago.
In that street and alley, I don't know if it was because of the fight, the patriarch's house caught fire, and the noise and screams were endless, and under the firelight, it looked like a demon cave.
Major General Dong deliberately opened the door of the car, in order to let Xiao Nan, who was sitting in the back seat, look more carefully.
Those Wang family members who tried to escape from the alley were stopped by soldiers, and the so-called "stop" was actually a violent beating, and all men were caught and taken aside for execution.
An old man in his fifties, covered in blood and covered in blood on the lower half of his body, was forcibly dragged over by the soldiers, and he was dying, apparently having just finished his execution.
Major General Dong said: "Let me introduce you, this person is the patriarch of the Wang family." Oh, this is the thirteenth young man. The second half of the sentence was addressed to the old man.
The old man was dying, but when he was brought to the car, he suddenly cried out in excitement and said miserably: "Please!" Let go of the Wang family!! ”
Who would have thought that he would burst out with amazing strength in a dying state, perhaps it was Major General Dong's deliberate look at his subordinates to let go of the hand that restrained the old man, and the patriarch of the Wang family actually rushed into Xiao Nan's car, and grabbed Xiao Nan's clothes tightly with both hands.
"Where is the Wang family sorry for you!!!!!!!!!! You want us to cut off our children and grandchildren!!!!!!!!! I'm going to bite you to death!!!!! ”
The old man roared hysterically, saliva flew wildly, and his face was almost against Xiao Nan's face, and his eyes were about to split.
Xiao Nan could even smell the smell of blood and stench in his mouth.
However, in this case, the two are at a stalemate!!
"Didn't you bring it on yourself?" Xiao Nan gritted his teeth and said.
At this time, Major General Dong personally grabbed the back collar of the old man with his mouth wide open and pulled him out of the car like a chicken.
"It's dirty, it's the car I'm most happy with." With that, he cast a color at his men, and the soldier next to him took out his gun and stuffed it into the old man's mouth.
What a terrifying time. Xiao Nan recalled it again, and still clearly remembered every detail of this scene.
"Young Master? Master? Wanyue's voice recalled his thoughts, and he said, "Ah, it's okay, those are all small things." You don't have to ask. ”
“…… Be. Wanyue lowered the curtains for him.
"Wanyue, what I promised you, I will definitely do it." Xiao Nan said in the curtain at this time.
"I believe in the young master." Wanyue turned off the light, and the room was dark.
The next day, Xiao Nan got up early, Wanyue and Meilan went to school on time, and took away the small gifts that Xiao Nan prepared for them to take to school.
While he was having breakfast, Xiao Fang finally ran into the yard in a hurry, but he didn't forget to bow when he entered the house: "Thirteen young people, I'm here." ”
"Come in." Xiao Nan was waiting for him.
I saw Xiao Fang take out a newspaper from his backpack, and couldn't hide his excitement and said, "Master! You've made a name for yourself this time! I really didn't expect you to transfer the major general's men and horses! The Wang family is finished this time! ”
Xiao Nan took the newspaper and asked, "Are you literate?" ”
"When I was a child, I studied a little bit outside the private school." Xiao Fang pointed to the newspaper and said, "Look! You're the front page headliner! ”
I saw that the front page of this "Xiaocheng Daily" devoted a whole page to reporting the "fire in the Wang family", saying that the bandit leader was secretly hidden in the Wang family last night, and Major General Dong came to suppress the bandits at the invitation of the 13th Shao, during which the bandit leader set fire to the crime and was killed, and the head of the Wang family unfortunately died in the fire.
Although the article is basically equivalent to nonsense, at least Xiao Nan's name really appeared in the newspaper.
"The gangsters didn't dare to show their heads this time." Xiao Fang continued, "I guess I'm afraid, after all, if they are not shrewd, it will be impossible for them to live under the noses of Xiao Cheng Xiao and Yao." ”
"This incident also represents the cooperation between Xiao Yao's two families." Xiao Nan said.
"The limelight of the other young masters has been suppressed by you. Their business news is all on the back page. "Xiao Fang should have read the newspaper in advance.
"I guess it won't be long before they're going to stumble on me." Xiao Nan said, "Take precautions." You have also been in Xiao Mansion for more than a year, do you think who can act as the person who threads the needle for us? Which young master of the Xiao family should we unite? ”
"Which young master is united, the little one doesn't dare to say, but among the subordinates, Lao Wei is a good matchmaker, he has a good relationship with you, and as a blue-clothed slave, he has the convenience of walking around the house, the key is that this person is very sensible and has a good reputation, I haven't heard of him crossing the river and demolishing the bridge." Xiao Fang said.
"That's him. As for which young master to unite - I heard that although the eldest young master is the eldest son, he has not been able to get ahead for so many years, although he enjoys the status of the prince, he is actually a puppet, and he is jointly pressed by the eldest grandmother and the eldest master. Living in the inner courtyard is aggrieved.
However, he has the elders of the clan surrounding him, after all, he is an orthodox descendant. The eldest grandmother was the main house that the eldest man was marrying, and she was like a queen in this family.
The fourth young master is extremely shrewd, he has his own small circle, and he controls many of the Xiao family's important businesses. His mother's family is also a wealthy businessman, and his mother's family has produced many powerful officials, which can be said to be the pride of the sky.
And the seventeenth young master is the eldest lord's favorite son at present, and he has received the most rewards from the eldest lord, which can be described as a worry-free prince. His mother is very favored, and his biggest advantage is to be favored by the eldest master.
Of course, in addition to these few people, the other young masters also have their own advantages, such as the tenth young master of the handsome Yao family, and so on. Xiao Nan picked up the teacup and said, "Which do you think, which one should I choose?" ”
"It doesn't matter which one of them, as long as you can pave the way for your master." Small square road.
Xiao Nan laughed, this kid is really good at guessing people's hearts.
So he said: "You're right, it doesn't matter which young master is here, but in this Xiao City, the sky and the earth are big, not as big as the big master." The seventeenth young master has thousands of honors and favors in one, how can he not make people flock to it? ”
"The seventeenth young master is still a child, and he is only ten years old this year." Xiao Fang interjected, "It's indeed much easier to coax this kind of child than to fight with those other young masters and young masters." ”
"I don't see it that way, don't underestimate children." Xiao Nan, who has studied educational psychology, of course knows that children have long been able to gain insight into the world and social relations, and it is absolutely unacceptable to despise children.
"But if we choose the seventeenth young master, we will inevitably offend the fourth young master group, and the seventeenth young lady's mother and fourth aunt are too close to each other." Xiao Nan said, "Now there is a rumor in the mansion that sooner or later the eldest master will abolish the eldest son of the eldest young master and hand over the inheritance of the family to other young masters.
The Xiao family has long been divided into two major factions because of the dispute between these two.
The Fourth Young Master wields considerable power, and if we really intend to act, we will inevitably be retaliated against by the Fourth Young Master. ”
"That's a dilemma, master, what are you going to do this time? You can't be as resolute as you are to solve the Wang family, right? In this Xiao Mansion, it is no better than the outside. ”
"So prepare in advance - there is always a way. The so-called methods, power struggles, are actually just the constant rotation and collision of resources, social relations and information. Just find the right breakthrough. Xiao Nan said, "So you have to find someone." This person is very informative. Her name is Xiaoci. ”
"Sounds like a maid. And it's a celebrity who has risen very quickly recently. Xiao Fang said.
"You're also well-informed. She went out of my yard and gave me some thin noodles. You bring her a message. Xiao Nan motioned for Xiao Fang to come over, said something in his ear, and finally said: "By the way, tell the concierge that from today onwards, the courtyard gate will be closed, and all the servants will give me the newly built side door, and my courtyard will not accept all guests for the time being." ”
"Do you want to put on a posture of protecting yourself with wisdom first, and no faction can be offended?" Xiao Fang is really smart.
"That's right, let's just move in secret. Don't rush to take a stand first. After Xiao Nan finished speaking, he felt that his brain was about to tie up.
In fact, it doesn't matter what, anyway, the Xiao family will be destroyed in a few years.
Fighting with other young masters is secondary.
The main thing is to seize the time and pave the back road for your escape first.
And the next thing he has to do is to facilitate the contact between Major General Dong and Miao Feng.
As his interpersonal relationships in the Republic of China increased, he felt that he had more things to do. Now he misses the simple life he had when he was a professor.
If you don't die to the Xiao family, you still don't know the blessing in the blessing!
Even if you find a partner to live with according to your aunt's wishes, it is a hundred times stronger than the current situation!
Since Miao Feng has become the target of the Xiao family, I don't know if he still lives in the original place, even if he wants to contact him, he can't be as upright as before.
Instead, it is necessary to use a capable person as an intermediary, this capable person is Liu Qian, who is still alive and well under the noses of the Xiao family and the Yao family.
If you want to show your sincerity to Liu Qian, you have to bring him something he likes.
So he asked Xiao Fang to find Xiao Ci at the same time, and also asked him to find a Western-style pastry chef who could be counted in the Xiao Mansion. Because only the desserts of Xiao Mansion are delicious that cannot be bought outside, they can impress Liu Qian.
Doing what he likes is what he thought of from the bribery cases of corrupt officials in the future world.
Everyone has their own desires, and in the face of temptation, everyone is very vulnerable.
Just as he couldn't resist the temptation called "intellectual curiosity" in the first place.
