Chapter 20: The Two Kings

The golden fat man returned to the house and drank tea bitterly.

And his wife wiped the ointment for Jin Hengxin on the side.

Now Jin Hengxin's face is swollen like a pig's head, and his eyes are narrowed into a slit.

The woman felt sorry for her son, and while rubbing the ointment, she couldn't help but nag.

"Look at you, you are so ruthless, you are such a lone seedling. ”

The golden fat man put down the teacup with a bang, raised his hand to fight, and said angrily.

"It's good that he's my son, if not, I'm..."

Jin Hengxin was so frightened that he dodged for a while, and complained, "Dad, isn't it all over? I will definitely not do it again next time." ”

"And next time!? Do you know that just because you got into trouble, I almost lost half of the Yongshang Chamber of Commerce!"

"Ahh

When the woman heard this, she exclaimed.

Half of the Yongshang Chamber of Commerce, how much silver is that?

"Hmph, do you think other people are stupid? Blatantly accepting bribes, that's what the city lord can do?"

The fat golden man rolled his eyes and continued.

He designed and built dams, renovated canals, and restored fertile land in Mucheng. ”

"You say, how much silver is needed for such a big project? It's a bottomless pit, and I can't fill it with any amount of silver. ”

"We contributed money and efforts, and we did all the hard work, but he was waiting for fame and fortune. ”

"What a bargain. ”

"And after this transaction, how high will his political achievements be?

"This Du City Lord is young, but his mind is extremely heavy, and he seized an opportunity to lay out so far. ”

"Maybe it's a little worse in terms of means, not ruthless enough. ”

"But it's also thanks to his lack of ruthlessness, otherwise this time the Eternal Chamber of Commerce would be in a catastrophe. ”

The golden fat man sighed and said softly, "Young people nowadays are not simple. ”

It was during this time when the fat man was drinking stuffy tea.

The notice has been issued in the city lord's mansion that Du Cheng mainly builds dams and canals to control floods.

And the Yong Chamber of Commerce will help you.

At the end of the announcement, Wang Hai and the two families were actually involved.

said that Wang Hai and the two families should also make contributions.

Since Doctor Du has cheated the Yongshang Chamber of Commerce, he will naturally not let go of the two families of Wang Hai in Mucheng.

When the fat golden man heard the news, his heart finally balanced a little.

It's a loss to everyone.

At this time, Wang Hai's two families were about to fall out.

The two major families, who didn't cause trouble in the world, suddenly received news from the city lord that they wanted to contribute money and efforts to Mucheng?

What's going on?

Could it be that some little guy in his own family has annoyed this new city lord?

So the two families urgently convened a family meeting.

Wang Zheng, the old man of the Wang family.

The head of the Hai family is shocked.

Take your own people and gather in the best restaurant in Mucheng - Drunken Immortal Building.

In the box on the second floor, people from the two families gathered here.

"Hello, Mr. Wang. ”

"Haha, sea boy, I haven't seen you for a few years, how are you lately?"

The two smiled and shook hands and greeted each other.

Wang Zheng is old, dressed in white and spotless, with a golden scepter in his hand, very majestic.

Hai Jingyu is in his forties, dressed in blue, embroidered with a whale and sharp-beaked monkey gills, and laughs very sinisterly.

"Today I thought it was my brother-in-law coming, but I didn't expect Mr. Wang to come. Hai Jingyu said.

Behind Wang Zheng, one person spoke, "Brother Hai, this matter is very important, and it is better for the master to preside over the overall situation." ”

"Hongtian is right, come, let's sit down and talk. ”

Wang Zheng and Hai Jingyu sat next to each other, with a tea set in the middle, and downstairs in front of them was the flower platform of the Drunken Immortal Building, on which there were operas singing.

"Sea boy, how is the situation on the Yong Chamber of Commerce?"

"The fat golden man is a bad seed, and he was frightened by the soldiers brought by the stinky boy. ”

"So, we can't count on the Yongshang Chamber of Commerce. ”

"Still counting on it. Hai Jingyu shook his head and said, "The fat golden man can't wait to pull us into the water." ”

"It seems that he was caught by the new city lord, although the name of the Yongshang Chamber of Commerce is louder than our two, but the secret deeds are by no means less than ours. ”

Wang Zheng took a sip of tea and said lightly.

"Maybe, but what do we do now?"

Hai Jingyu glanced at Wang Zheng and stopped talking, indicating that Wang Zheng was the main one.

Wang Zheng looked at the stage below, and did not say anything for a long time.

The sea frightened Yu and looked at Wang Hongtian.

And Wang Hongtian pressed his hand to show him not to disturb Old Man Wang.

About five minutes later, Wang Zheng spoke.

"This matter is not in a hurry, the so-called three fires of the new official taking office, it is us who burns, Wang Hai and the two families have been entrenched in Mucheng for a long time, and they are the biggest provocation to the power of the new city lord. ”

"So sooner or later, we and the new city lord will meet, there is no need to panic. ”

"But the main strategy is to get close, to buy through, to make friends, and the secondary is to hinder, to assassinate, to fight. ”

"In this matter now, the city lord Du didn't go to us, so we didn't make a sound, and when we didn't see it, we braked quietly. ”

"And now there is a person who is more anxious than us and the Yong Chamber of Commerce, the snake and the tiger are fighting, we can just watch from the wall. ”

Wang Zheng said a lot in one breath, causing everyone around him to nod again and again.

After finishing speaking, Hai Jingyu thought for a while, and said, "Old Man Wang is really powerful, and he can analyze so many stakes. ”

Wang Zheng shook his head and said, "I'm just living old, hahaha." ”

The crowd chimed in.

"Lord Wang, Brother Hai, I thought of a plan, I don't know how?" Wang Hongtian said at this time.

"Oh, brother-in-law, what do you have in mind?"

"As far as I know, City Lord Du is young, only in his early twenties, and it would be great if he could be recruited to be our own son-in-law. ”

Hai Jingyu's eyes lit up, slapped the table, and said, "Good way! ”

Wang Zheng also nodded, and said to Wang Hongtian, "It's really good, Hongtian, you will have to worry more about the affairs of the Wang family in the future." ”

Wang Hongtian was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately said, "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”

"Well, since you came up with this clever plan, then I'll leave the matter to you. ”

"Yes, my lord. ”

Then Wang Zheng rubbed his eyelids and said tiredly, "People are old, and they don't have the energy to sit for a while, so the old man will leave first." ”

"Old man Wang, your body is important. Hai Jingyu said.

"Lord Wang, I'll send you. Wang Hongtian stood up and said.

"No, you can talk to the sea boy a little more. Wang Zheng waved his hand and walked out of the box room with a cane.

After Wang Zheng left, Wang Hongtian and Hai Jingyu chatted.

"I said brother-in-law, who in your family are you going to let catch that golden beetle?"

"My daughter is beautiful. ”

", you're ruthless enough, but it's a pity that I have a son, no daughter. ”

"Men can be brothers. ”

“........ Well, it makes sense. ”

"It is estimated that it is difficult, after all, the identity of the city lord is here. ”

"This.... Take your time. ”

At the same time, inside the City Lord's Mansion.

Doctor Du is taking the pulse of his mother.

His father sat aside and asked,

"What's wrong with you?"

Doctor Du put down his hand and turned around and said, "Mother is fine, but I was a little frightened, and I had a headache and chest tightness caused by unstable mood, and I will be fine after a night's rest." ”

"Oh, that's fine. Father nodded, relieved.

At this time, Littlefinger and a few maids brought a plate of snacks and fruits from outside.

"Master, the snacks and fruits ordered by the young master have been brought to you. Littlefinger said.

The father looked confused, and after thinking carefully for a long time, he smiled dumbly.

"It turns out that the old man is calling me, and I'm really not used to it. ”

"Dad, your son is now a big official, and dozens of people under him have to call you master, and you will get used to it in the future. ”

Doctor Du picked up a piece of pastry and handed it to his father's palm.

My father tasted it, but I didn't know if it was delicious or not, anyway, I hadn't eaten it, and it felt sweeter than my own steamed buns.

"Daddy, come and taste this fruit. ”

"Okay, leave some for your mother. ”

Doctor Du smiled bitterly and said, "These pastries are made by the next person, and there are a lot of fruits, so I will make one for my mother tomorrow." ”

"Yes, yes, I made these pastries, they have different flavors, you can taste them, sir. Littlefinger said.

When my father heard this, he nodded, picked up the different pastries and tasted them all.

"It's delicious, the little girl has good handiwork. My father commented.

Littlefinger laughed happily and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

"Little Finger, make one for my mother tomorrow as usual. Doctor Du said.

"Yes, sir. ”

"By the way, how is Xiaowan?" the father thought of his sister.

"Hmm... It's been an hour, Zhou Hu's side should be almost fine, Dad, let's go and have a look. ”

Doctor Du stood up and said to Little Finger, "You guys stay here and take care of the old lady." ”

After turning a few alleys, I came to a courtyard.

On the way, my father kept saying that the house was too big and that he was going to get lost.

And Doctor Du had no choice but to laugh.

In the annex, two soldiers guard the wooden door.

"My lord, the leader hasn't come out yet, so sit in the courtyard for a while. ”

"Well, I'll wait for him. ”

After about twenty minutes, Zhou Hu pushed open the wooden door and walked out of it, holding the sleeping Du Wan in his arms.

The father was very anxious, and when he saw Zhou Hu coming out, he immediately stepped forward and asked.

"General Zhou, how is my daughter?"

Zhou Hu sent Du Wan to his father's arms and said.

"Miss, she was born with a defective meridian, which affects the brain, and it is difficult to cure the meridian problems of the human body in the mortal world. ”

The father asked suspiciously, as if he didn't understand.

"Does General Zhou have a way?"

Zhou Hu shook his head and said, "I have no choice, maybe I have to find the emperor." ”

Zhou Hu looked at Doctor Du.

Doctor Du said with a solemn face, "So serious?"

"Actually, the emperor can't help it, it's just that the treasury of the Qin State is rich in resources, and there must be a panacea to treat Miss's condition. ”

"I see, it seems that the only way to do a good job in Mucheng is to plead with the emperor when I go to the capital again. Doctor Du secretly planned in his heart.

When my father heard this, he shook his head in disappointment and said to Doctor Du.

"There's really no way, forget it, Xiaowan has a brother like you, presumably she won't have to suffer in the future. ”

"Dad, you don't have to worry about it, I will definitely find a way to heal my sister. ”

"Alas, Xiaowan is a poor child, she has lived for nine years, and she has been stupid for nine years, and she can't even speak until now, it's enough for your brother to worry about her for so many years. ”

The father touched his sister's head dotingly.
