Chapter 146 [Pure Merchant]
Under Wang Hao's narration, He Ping also gradually learned about the current situation of the Wang family, most of the branches have been hit, the lucky ones are just the business bankrupt and expelled, and they have no choice but to come to their own house to seek refuge, and if they are unlucky, they will be directly attacked, and they will be killed and arrested by the Pang family before they have escaped back to Wu'an City, and even Wang Hao, the young master of the family, the Pang family dares to send people to chase and kill, not to mention those branches.
The branches of a big family are generally in the vicinity of the family, and there is not so much power in the field, at most it is the business name and caravan, and the Wang family's business and caravan in the field have also been hit, the business has been squeezed, tragically bankrupt, and then it was acquired, lost its foothold, and the caravan is even more miserable, many caravans were looted by "robbers" on the way, and there was no trace of people and money.
The Pang family's own family was originally in Lianshui City, but when they showed their fangs, cut off the branches of the Wang family one by one, and began to target the Wang family, in order to get the maximum effect, most of the family forces were moved to Wu'an City, and the big names of the Pang family's own family also came to Wu'an City to sit in Wu'an City, as for the Pang family compound in Lianshui City, only a few people are still watching the house, after all, this is their ancestral home, and when the Wang family is eliminated, it is necessary to change Wu'an Ling to Lianshui Ling, and move the capital to Lianshui City.
"Listening to your tone, how do I feel that the strength of the Pang family is a little stronger than your Wang family?" He Ping is a little strange, the Wang family, as the first family of Wu'an Ling, should be very strong, even if the Pang family is prepared, but in such a short period of time, it will clean up so many branches of the Wang family, completely destroy the Wang family's businesses and caravans in other places, and suppress the Wang family's own family in Wu'an City and not go out, and even the descendants of the descendants will be hunted down, which does not seem to be something that a Pang family can do.
But obviously, He Ping's question is the wrong person, Wang Hao, the little young master, really doesn't know much about these, although he knows a little background of the Pang family, but that's it, before He Ping prompted, he didn't even think that the Pang family had already prepared to deal with the Wang family, and now naturally he couldn't find anything abnormal from the comparison of the strength of the two sides, hearing He Ping's question, Wang Hao shook his head and looked confused.
"Then let me put it another way." He Ping said helplessly: "I suspect that in addition to the Pang family, or even in addition to the Cook family, there are shadows of other forces in this conspiracy against the Wang family, otherwise, with only one Pang family, coupled with the extremely limited support of the Cook family, it is impossible to achieve such an effect in terms of manpower and financial resources. ”
"Let me think about it......" Wang Hao frowned and thought hard, after all, this is a problem he has never paid attention to, even if he knows a little news, he must not deliberately remember, at this time he heard He Ping ask, he began to look for the fragment that has begun to blur from his memory, but this process did not take long, and soon Wang Hao suddenly said loudly: "I remember!" ”
"Remember?"
"The people of the Pinghua collar! That's right, it's the people who pacify the Qi family! About a month before the Pang family's move, the number of people in Pinghua suddenly began to increase, several caravans of Pinghua came to Wu'an Ling to do business, and a lot of new businesses were opened, and there were also many people from Pinghua Ling among the pedestrians who came and went, and Wu'an Ling was like this all over the country, and they also did a lot of business with the Wang family, although some people in our family felt strange, but on the one hand, they only came to do business, on the other hand, the Pinghua Qi family was originally a businessman, and there was nothing abnormal about doing a lot of business. ”
Pinghua collar! Qi family! He Ping was stunned for a moment, he actually heard the name of the Qi family here, the Pinghua Collar and the Wu'an Collar do not border, in fact, even if it is the Qingyang Collar, the boundary between the Pinghua Collar is only a small section, most of the borders in the north of the Pinghua Collar are bordered by the Songjiang Collar, and the Wu'an Collar is separated by the Songjiang and Qingyang two collars, the Qi family is a businessman, and the Wang family is a scholarly family, there is no intersection between the two families, so from the beginning, He Ping did not count the Pinghua Qi family.
It seems that Zhao Zheng was prescient, and was not confused by the polite gesture of the Qi family, everyone knew that the Qi family was a businessman and became a nobleman, but everyone didn't take this seriously, they all felt that even if they were businessmen, they were also a businessman who talked about rules, and they had been nobles for so many years, and the habits of businessmen should have been replaced by the habits of nobles long ago, but only Zhao Zheng discovered the businessman factor in the blood of the Qi family, they can be said to be the purest businessmen, everything, all for profit!
Pinghua Qi Family! This is an important piece of information, He Ping realized at this time that he probably underestimated the scale of this conspiracy, a Pang family is not to be afraid, even if they are well prepared, it is difficult to fundamentally shake the foundation of the Wang family, although the Cook family is strong, but it is difficult for the people of Auckland to move freely in Tianhua now, and the influence they can exert is pitiful, but if you add a Qi family, the scale will be completely different.
Although the Qi family and the Pang family are both from merchants, it is obvious that the initial level of the two families is different, and now it is also, although the Pang family is also a nobleman, they can only accept the suppression of the Wang family in Wu'an Ling, while the Qi family has its own territory, and the strength of the Qi family is stronger than the Pang family, and there is another point, the Qi family and the Cook family appeared in Wu'an at the same time, and at the same time exerted influence on the Pang family to help the Pang family deal with the Wang family, to say that the Qi family and the Cook family did not collude, it must be a lie that children will not believe.
It is no longer a disputable fact that the Qi family and the Cook family are connected, but since when did it be? How big is it? What is the purpose of the Qi family? What benefits do they have to gain from the destruction of the royal family? If eliminating the Wang family is only the first step, then what about after that? After the Wang family, who can be qualified to be their next target? The answer is actually quite obvious, Qingyang Ling, Zhao family!
He Ping felt that the missing part of the circle had finally been filled, the Pang family had a problem of interests in dealing with the Wang family, which was not enough for the Pang family to succeed, because their power in Wu'an was already big enough, even if they killed the Wang family and became the lord, the burden would be greater than the power for them, and if the matter was exposed and took refuge in Auckland, they would only have disadvantages and no benefits.
So if the Pang family is successful, who is the biggest benefit-taker? The Cook family? On the surface, this is indeed the case, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that the Cook family will at most recover the land that originally belonged to the Lance family, and for the Qingyang Collar that the Zhao family has been operating for a long time, it is difficult to eat it with them and the Pang family alone, but if you add the Qi family, the situation will be different, and when the Qi family will not only be able to capture the Qingyang Collar, but the Songjiang Collar sandwiched in the middle is also in their pocket!
