Panwu Continent, Baoyue Kingdom, Pingyuan Prefecture, Qingping Prefecture

The Huai River flows eastward, like a jade belt that surrounds Qingping Mansion in it. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Under the tall city wall, a tributary with a width of about five zhang flows under the city wall, and above the tributary, it flows for thousands of miles, end to end, and it is very lively.

Wang Tong stood at the bow of a passenger ship, wearing a green shirt, a long sword tied to his waist, his body was wrapped, and he was wearing a big hat on his head, looking at the tall and majestic city wall, his eyes were complicated.

About an hour later, the passenger boat finally lined up at the pier, Wang Tong jumped off the boat, and walked into Qingping Mansion in the crowd.

Along the way, pedestrians are weaving, and the traffic is busy, forming a wonderful picture of the market style.

Although he has been in this world for seventeen years, this ancient market style, he has seen it for the first time, compared to Tiebi Mountain City, it is countless times more lively here, whether it is population or commerce, it is not a level.

Walking on the bluestone paved road, listening to the shouts of various vendors around you, and looking at the rows of ancient buildings, it is like a dream for a while.

It was almost noon, Wang Tong felt a little hungry in his belly, and when he first arrived here, he didn't know the way, so he entered a restaurant on the side of the road, found a blank place and sat down, and after ordering a few dishes, he took advantage of the gap between the dishes served by Xiao Er and asked, "This little brother, how to go to Lepingfang?"

Xiao Er was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled, "The guest officer is from out of town, right?"

"What, so obvious?"

"Hehe, if the guest officer is a local, it is impossible not to know where Lepingfang is, right? Xiao Er pointed to the main road of the store.

"Yes, I am out of town. Wang Tong smiled and asked again, "Since Lepingfang is not far away, then do you know how the Wang family goes?"

"The Wang family?" Xiao Er heard this, and asked with a little hesitation, "I don't know which Wang family the guest officer is asking? ”

"It's the Wang family who does business. ”

When Xiao Er heard this, his face immediately showed a strange look, "The Wang family who is doing business, do you mean Wang Zhengsheng's old man's family?"

"I don't know, I only know, there is a person named Wang Dan in the Wang family, I don't know if you recognize it?"

"Wang Dan?" Xiao Er's face became even more strange, and he whispered to Wang Daodao, "Please wait a moment." After speaking, he walked quickly and entered the restaurant.

Wang Tong felt a little strange, but he didn't say anything, and after a while, the shopkeeper of the restaurant walked out, and under the leadership of Xiao Er, he came to Wang Tong's face, "This guest officer, may I ask, are you inquiring about the Wang family?"

"Yes, what, do you know them?" asked Wang Tong.

"Don't hide it from the guest officer, this small shop is the property of the Wang family. The shopkeeper smiled, "In Xia Wanghe, Tian is the shopkeeper of this store, I don't know what the relationship between the little brother and Wang Danwang is a big official?"

"This is the Wang family's industry, Wang Daguan?!" Wang Tong blinked, a little surprised, and then stood up with a smile, "I see, no wonder this little brother's reaction is so strange, in Xia Wang Chongtian, he came to the Wang family to join his family." ”

"Wang Chongtian, do you vote?" Wang He was stunned for a moment, and a little doubt appeared in his eyes, "I don't know which family you voted for?"

"Of course it's Wang Dan, he's my second uncle. ”

"What?!" Wang He's eyelids jumped, as if he had thought of something, he looked Wang Tong up and down, and after a while, he whispered to Wang Tong, "Please come with me, little brother." ”

Wang Tong didn't care, and immediately followed Wang He into the backyard of the restaurant.

Wang He took Wang Tong into a guest room, carefully closed the door, and said to Wang Tong, "This little brother, although the Wang family is only a businessman, but it is also a bit famous in Lepingfang, and there are also warriors in the clan, but not just anyone can come to kiss, the little brother said that Wang Daguan is your second uncle, is there any evidence?"

"Evidence?" Wang Tong smiled indifferently and said, "There is naturally there, but this evidence naturally has to be handed over to the second uncle himself, and I can't believe it if anyone else." ”

"You ......" Wang He's face suddenly became gloomy, but seeing Wang Tong's confident and fearless appearance, he was suffocated by the threatening words in his stomach.

As the shopkeeper of the restaurant, his eyesight is naturally not lacking, he not only saw that Wang Tong was fearless, and did not look like a liar, but also saw that Wang Tong was a martial artist, although the specific realm could not be seen, but it could be seen that this guy was by no means a weak person, he lived sixty years old, and he had seen a lot of martial artists, although most of them were martial artists who cultivated under the Nine Heavens, but after all, this is Qingping Mansion, the capital of Baoyue Kingdom, and there are many real masters, he has even seen a few times out of the martial arts, that momentum, that style, all impressed him, and the young man in front of him, although he is far inferior to the martial artist in terms of momentum, but that bearing was by no means weaker than the samurai he had ever seen, that is to say, this young man was a samurai, and in the face of this samurai, he did not feel that he was qualified to ask too many things.

It's just that he is really a little hesitant in his heart, after all, he is a member of the Wang family, the Wang family is a business family, but this is a world dominated by martial arts, if you want to make the business bigger, it is absolutely inseparable from force, so the Wang family has been doing its best to cultivate its own warriors, and most of the family's income for a year is spent on this, however, there is not enough inheritance and heritage, over the years, it is just barely cultivated a few warriors, and the business has not been able to do it, because the strength is not good, if this young man is really the bloodline of the Wang family outside, it must be a surprise for the Wang family, but if there is another purpose, for the Wang family, it is a huge disaster, so he can't be careless.

"In that case, please inform the Wang officials. ”

"Please!"

Wang Shan came quickly, much faster than Wang Tong imagined, but in a quarter of an hour, he followed the old shopkeeper Wang He in front of Wang Tong.

Seeing Wang Tong, Wang Dan's gaze was very complicated, in fact, as soon as he heard the words of the old shopkeeper, he almost guessed Wang Tong's fake identity, the son of the eldest brother who ran away from home more than 20 years ago.

It's just that he was a little disappointed that he couldn't see the shadow of his eldest brother from the young man in front of him.

However, since he came to find himself, and he is a samurai, he doesn't think he will be fake.

Although the Wang family is a merchant family and has some assets in the family, all this is nothing in the eyes of the warrior, especially a young person like the one in front of him who has already pushed his cultivation above the Nine Heavens and become a warrior of the samurai, and it is not too difficult to become a high-ranking martial artist in the future, the martial artist, in a place like Baoyue Kingdom, is already the head of the family that dominates one side, and he is a sought after character in every place, and there is no need to pretend to be a relative of his own family.

Therefore, when he saw Wang Tong, Wang Shan was very polite, and after Wang Tong took out the letter and the jade pendant, he had completely dispelled all suspicions.

After seeing the ceremony, it was a cold noise, which was not nutritious for Wang Tong, but for Wang Dan, it was an important drama to connect feelings, after all, the young man in front of him was a samurai nine times out of ten, for the Wang family, the value of such a young samurai was limitless, and the most important thing was that the appearance of Wang Tong would break the peace of the Wang family.

"It turns out that the virtuous nephew met a famous teacher at a young age, no wonder he had such an achievement at a young age. ”

When Wang Shan asked Wang Tong about Wang Chongtian's father, Wang Tongtong had already thought of a reason to prevaricate in the past, saying that he had met a famous teacher when he was a child, and had been studying art outside, and he did not return home until his father was seriously ill, but at that time, the old man had not much time, and when he was dying, he wrote a letter to let him return to the Wang family to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors.

For such a reason, Wang Shan also has no doubts, he met a famous teacher at a young age, which shows that his nephew's qualifications are good, he is favored by others, and he is included in the door, which is something that can be met but not sought by most people in the Panwu Continent, so that Wang Tong has encountered it, and Wang Tong is indeed successful in learning and becoming a warrior, what else is there to doubt?

Especially when it was confirmed that Wang Tong was now an eight-rank warrior, Wang Shan laughed out loud excitedly.

"Virtuous nephew, since you have studied art since childhood, you may not understand the things at home, just take this opportunity to talk to you in detail, and then take you home, see the ancestors, recognize the ancestors and return to the ancestors, as long as you get the approval of the ancestors, forgive those people will not be able to make any waves. ”

"Listening to the second uncle's meaning, there seems to be some unpeace at home!" Wang Tong is such a monkey spirit, and immediately heard the meaning of Wang Dan's words.

"Alas, it's a bit embarrassing to say this, but since you are your own family, you have to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, you must know, and listen to me tell you. Wang Shan smiled bitterly and pulled Wang Tong to sit at the table, and instructed Wang He to make a table of exquisite wine and food, and carefully explained the situation of the Leping Wang family.

There are several royal families in Lepingfang, Wang Dan's Wang family is the weakest among several families, this family Wang lives in Lepingfang, Wuduoyan Lane, so it is also called Wuduoyan Wang's family, and several other Wang families have powerful warriors in the town, and there are also official positions in the court, but Wang Dan's Wang family is different, this is a family that focuses on business, although there are some assets, and at the same time a force to train martial artists, but because of limited resources, and there is not enough martial arts inheritance, so, the most powerful one in the clan is the ancestor of the clan, a three-grade warrior。

Although this old ancestor's cultivation is good, he is a third-grade warrior, but he is too old, and it plays more of a role as a deterrent.

A three-rank warrior can support an ordinary family, but family and family are not the same concept at all, the population of a family is much larger than that of a family, and the five-eyed Wang family is still a business family, and there are a lot of assets in the family, which will naturally cause others to covet it.

Therefore, all along, it has been relying on the support of the old ancestor, but now, the old ancestor also feels a little powerless.

The ancestors are powerless, and the minds of the people below are naturally more, and now in the Wuduoyan Wang family, the most popular word is two words, dividing the family.

Yes, the family is divided, only when the family is divided, the assets in the clan are distributed to the big guys, and everyone goes their own way, so that it is possible not to be coveted by outsiders and to keep the family.

"So, the second uncle doesn't advocate the separation of the family?!"

Wang Tong looked at Wang Dan, and from his words, it was obvious that he felt disgusted with the word "separation".

"Divide the family? Hmph, one by one said very easily, my Wang family has been bred in Lepingfang for more than 200 years, only then can there be today's family, with these assets, in order to really take root in Lepingfang, this is how many generations of hard work to get, can't you grit your teeth, pour out resources, and then train a samurai out? To keep the Wang family, if they can find an official and a half-job in the city again, and accumulate it for a few years, it is not impossible to be like the others, they are good, one by one, they all want to divide the family, divide the industry, as if this family is divided, the industry is divided, everyone can make a fortune, they don't want to think, is this property so easy to take? There is no family behind the back, no family behind the head, will this business continue? I see, in less than a month, all the industries of the Wang family in Qingping Mansion are going to go out of business, hmph, if you want to be the master of the house, you must also have this ability. ”

"This is also true, this world is about strength, a family as big as the Wang family will be coveted, once it is dispersed, I am afraid that everyone will be eaten and there will be no bones left, such a simple truth, can't they figure it out?"

"They couldn't figure out where they were, they were instigated behind them, and one by one they were blinded by lard. ”

"Instigation?!" Wang Tong raised his eyebrows, and heard a little strange from it.

"Sima Zhao Shichen of Qingping Mansion, it's this guy who wants to swallow our Wang family's property in one bite, so he secretly instigates those bastards to break up. ”

After some explanation, Wang Tong finally understood.

Over the years, relying on the support of the ancestor of the Wang family, the three-grade samurai, and relying on the means of doing business in the clan, the cloth business of Qingping Mansion has been shrouded in a short period of time, and the reason why this can be done is because the Wang family has reached a paper agreement with the Huang family of Luling Guoxi Prefecture, and the Huang family of Luling Guoxi Prefecture is the largest cloth merchant in this region, and it is also an eight-grade martial arts family, which is quite powerful in Luling Guoxi Prefecture.

The strength of the two families is completely unequal, the reason why such an agreement can be reached is entirely because the ancestor of the Wang family once saved the life of the current head of the Huang family when he was young, and the friendship came in this way, and later, in order to consolidate the relationship between the two families, the Wang family sent a concubine to be the concubine of a son of the head of the family, so the relationship between the two families became closer, and with the support of the Huang family, the Wang family relied on low-price dumping means to completely monopolize the fabric and fabric business of Qingping Mansion.

In this regard, Wang Tong can only be described in four words, I don't know whether he is dead or alive!

A family that does not have enough military support dares to monopolize the trade of a place, isn't it unaware of what life and death are?

This is not one of those worlds where money can be channeled, and even if money can be channeled, then you have enough strength to protect your money, right?

Obviously, the Wang family does not have enough strength to protect their money, and will even be killed because of this money.

Thinking about those guys, they also saw the hidden dangers in this, there is only one third-grade samurai in the family to support, except for a three-grade samurai, there is no longer a warrior of the samurai rank, even the old ancestor in the clan is extremely optimistic, and has cultivated more than ten years of **** heaven, Wang Dashao, now he is also stuck in the realm of the Nine Heavens, and he can't go further, which is a sign of the end of the world for a family, an ominous omen.

In fact, the reason why the branches of the Wang family will split up is also because of the **** day, in the past 20 years, in order to cultivate the **** day to become the second samurai, all the resources in the family have been tilted towards him, and when it is found that the cultivation of the **** day is stagnant, it is difficult to go further, it is too late to turn back, a large number of resources have been poured into him before, but it is not that he can stop if he wants to stop it, so many resources are smashed into it, is it still to cultivate others? Although the Wang family has earned some wealth, they can't afford to withstand such a toss!

In such a situation, each branch can't see the future, and is unwilling to spend more resources on **** Tian, and hooks up with the new master, so splitting has become a very simple option.

"The Wang family has been in Lepingfang for so many years, and they haven't even cultivated a samurai?!"

Referring to this matter, Wang Tong also felt a little drunk, such a big family, so many resources to smash down, for decades, even a warrior has not been cultivated, this is simply a bit incredible.

"Alas, this matter has come out recently. At the mention of this matter, Wang Dan's face had become angry, "**** Tian is extremely optimistic about the ancestors, his qualifications have been excellent since he was a child, and with so many resources, becoming a warrior is a sure thing, and there is even the hope of becoming a martial artist, so the family will do its best to cultivate." ”

"Then why haven't you become a samurai yet, more than 20 years, this **** day is almost in his twenties, right?!" Wang Tong said with a smile.

In the Panwu Continent, because of the monopoly of martial arts knowledge, ordinary people are easy to get in in the cultivation, to become a warrior, if you rely on time to slowly boil, it is not uncommon to survive until the age of thirty, or even forty years old to break through to the tenth heaven, but it is an ordinary person, an ordinary person, like **** Tian, with so many resources, and the qualifications are good, ten years is almost the same, twenty years is too long, and there is no hope of a breakthrough until now, Wang Tong feels strange.

"Hmph, that **** day was secretly injured when he was thirteen years old, and he hid this matter. "When he mentioned this matter, Wang Dan was angry, it was precisely because he was secretly injured at the age of thirteen, so Wang Ronghua's cultivation has been improving extremely slowly since then, and he finally mentioned the Nine Heavens, but he was dragged down by the secret injury and was unable to break through, which led to the current situation.

"He was secretly injured, but he did not report it, so that the family invested a lot of resources in him, and now it is difficult to ride a tiger. Wang Tong suddenly understood.

"Not bad. Wang Dan's eyes shot angry flames, "They all caused the matter, it's good now, but it's the most exciting to break up, hum, damn it!" Speaking of this, he raised his head violently, looked at Wang Daodao, and said earnestly, "However, it's different now, you are so young, you are already an eight-rank warrior, as long as you get the approval of your ancestors, you can recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, and become the second warrior of my Wang family, at that time, the next generation of the Wang family will inevitably be dominated by you, I see what those people say." ”

"I, this is not appropriate, right?!" Wang Tong said with some hesitation, "My father has left the family for almost 20 years, and I have long lost contact with the family. ”

"You are also a member of the Wang family, and your father doesn't want to see the Wang family fall apart like this, right?" Wang Shan said, "The eldest brother has been away from home for so many years, and he has never forgotten the family in his heart, and he still thinks about returning to his roots until he dies, but if the Wang family is scattered, how can the eldest brother return to his roots?

"I'm going to pick a fart!" Wang Tong felt his brain skip a beat.

God is pitiful, I came here just to mix an identity, to play soy sauce, but I never thought of picking any family burden, I have nothing to do with this Wang family, why fight for your life and death?

Presiding over a family, picking up the burden of a family, is not a good thing, more than benefits, more responsibility, especially the five-eyed Wang family is such a crumbling family, if you don't do well, you will get yourself involved in trouble, according to his opinion, this family, divided will be divided, after the division everyone is relaxed, like Wang Dan is so single-minded to continue such a family that has no strength, and no eyesight is the brain disease.

However, he still has to rely on Wang Dan's identity now, so naturally he can't hate him in this regard, so he has to smile bitterly, "Second uncle, look, I just arrived in Qingping Mansion, and my eyes are still black, you just tell me this, I really can't digest it for a while, otherwise, when I see the old ancestor and get the recognition of the old ancestor, let's talk about this matter again, how about it?"

"It's okay, this matter needs the approval of the ancestors after all, you came from afar, and you are tired, so let's do it today, early tomorrow morning, I will take you to see the ancestors, recognize the ancestors and return to the ancestors. Wang Shan also knew that he was a little excited to see Wang Tong suddenly, and his mood gradually calmed down, chatted with Wang Tong again, and left the restaurant.

After he left, Wang He's attitude towards Wang Tong was much more enthusiastic, and he eagerly helped Wang Tong pick an upper room, cleaned it cleanly, and arranged for Wang Tong to live.

It's a little strange that not a single samurai has been trained.

"Alas, this matter has come out recently. At the mention of this matter, Wang Dan's face had become angry, "**** Tian is extremely optimistic about the ancestors, his qualifications have been excellent since he was a child, and with so many resources, becoming a warrior is a sure thing, and there is even the hope of becoming a martial artist, so the family will do its best to cultivate." ”

"Then why haven't you become a samurai yet, more than 20 years, this **** day is almost in his twenties, right?!" Wang Tong said with a smile.

In the Panwu Continent, because of the monopoly of martial arts knowledge, ordinary people are easy to get in in the cultivation, to become a warrior, if you rely on time to slowly boil, it is not uncommon to survive until the age of thirty, or even forty years old to break through to the tenth heaven, but it is an ordinary person, an ordinary person, like **** Tian, with so many resources, and the qualifications are good, ten years is almost the same, twenty years is too long, and there is no hope of a breakthrough until now, Wang Tong feels strange.
