Chapter 133: The Sacking of Jinxia
At night, Wen Xingyuan climbed to the third floor of Wanfu Building and walked into a wing room under the guidance of his servants.
There are several dishes on the round table in the room, and there are not many of them, but they are all of the best fresh. For example, arm-length deep-sea red shrimp, nearly transparent tulle water ginseng, and melt-in-your-mouth fatty thorny fish fillets, all of which are worth a lot of money.
It's really the style of the Wang family, Wen Xingyuan snorted coldly in his heart, even if the focus of the meeting was not on eating at all, the other party would not let go of a trace of what could be shown.
It's just that when he saw the person sitting at the table, he couldn't help but pause, "Why are you?"
The person who came turned out to be Wang Yi'an's eldest son - Wang Qingzhi.
He had seen this person many times, but it was all under the leadership of Wang Yi'an. Although it has long been heard that most of the royal family's property has been transferred to Wang Qingzhi, this kind of mundane matter does not allow the Privy Council to take a look at it. In the final analysis, he is just an ordinary person who can't be angry.
"My father was unable to attend, so I came in his place. β
"Ridiculous!" Wen Xingyuan shook his head, turned around and walked towards the door. Without the mansion, he is now the nominal ruler of the Privy Council, and the Wang family actually has a boy under the age of thirty to have a secret conversation with him?
"Please stay," Wang Qingyi said without moving, "It was you who conveyed the proposal to the Wang family to meet, and it was me who accepted the proposal and went to the appointment, and I had nothing to do with my father from the beginning, I hope you will know this." β
...... Nothing to do with Wang Yi'an?
Wen Xingyuan turned his head, "What do you mean?"
"My father has no intention of fighting Her Royal Highness the Princess. Wang Qingzhi replied calmly, "In other words, the princess supports the order department, and he will naturally not help you interfere again." If it had been my father and not me sitting here, I am afraid that it would not be long before the princess knew what the meeting was all about. β
"Wang Yi'an ...... now"
"Everything is fine now, but it's no longer time to worry about family matters. β
"Can you call the shots?"
"Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have come. β
Wen Xingyuan hesitated for a moment, and then slowly returned to the table, "Then the old man won't go around in circles, the ugliness is said in front, if you can't fulfill what you said, the Privy Council won't stop there." β
"Naturally, the Wang family would never dare to perfunctory the Privy Council. Wang Qingzhi bowed his head slightly.
Wen Xingyuan snorted lightly, pulled out a chair and sat down, "A long time ago, you began to cultivate your own underground forces, right? As far as the old man knows, the predecessor of this East China Sea Gang was a group of pirates, raising thieves in private, and the courage of the Wang family is indeed not small. β
Wang Qingzhi was silent.
"It is not surprising that the government has turned a blind eye for the sake of taxes, but the Privy Council has no such concerns. Wen Xingyuan continued, "The old man is looking for your Wang family this time, just to borrow this Haikou. If you agree, then everything is easy to say, if you don't agree, you should know the charge of fornicating with the pirates. β
He nodded, "How are you going to use it?"
"Let them sack Jinxia City. β
Wang Qingzhi showed a look of surprise, "Are you sure?"
"I need the illusion that Jinxia City has been attacked. Wen Xingyuan replied.
Zhang's words gave him a lot of inspiration, and in an emergency, he could indeed bypass the constitution and directly take up the position of the governor, and then play the Gyeonggi Privy Council. No matter how the above reply is, this time is enough time for him to kick Xia Fan out of the Privy Council.
And Jinxia City was attacked by the pirates, which is undoubtedly a "major danger".
Although Shenzhou has not had a plague for decades, it ...... As long as it does not cause too much loss, it is estimated that the imperial court will not pay attention to it.
So he thought of the Wang family.
A domestic dog is naturally more docile than a wild dog.
What's more, this dog breeder still has a handle in the hands of the Privy Council.
"This ...... I'm afraid not. Wang Qingzhi pondered for a moment, "It's not that I don't want to, the Donghai Gang is just a gang in the rivers and lakes after all, and the number of people is less than a thousand, so you let them loot Jinxia...... It's really not enough. β
Jinxia City used to be an important town of Yongguo, and there were strong high walls on the southwest, north, south, and south sides, even if the east side by the sea was weakly defended, it was compared to the other sides. At least there are a lot of beacon towers, ballistas, and arrow towers. As soon as the gates were closed, the guards stood on the walls, and it was not for a group of gangsters to touch.
The most important thing is that one of the garrisons in Shenzhou is in the outskirts of Jinxia, and once the beacon smoke is lit, they can rush to the aid of this place in a day at most.
This information is also obviously known to Wen Xingyuan, "Stupid." There are only 1,000 people in the Donghai Gang, which does not mean that there are only 1,000 Haikou people, they are doing burning, killing and looting, and they are not sailing and sailing, are you still afraid that they will not pretend to be? The government may be a threat to others, so it should not be an obstacle to the Wang family, right? As for the garrison, the old man will find a way to delay. β
"How long can I delay?"
Wen Xingyuan stretched out a finger.
"It's too short, at least two days. Wang Qingzhi shook his head.
Wen Xingyuan was immediately displeased, "Are you doing things in the Privy Council, don't forget what the old man said before!"
"Thank you for your understanding. Wang Qingzhi replied sincerely, "They are not the dead soldiers of the Wang family, they are essentially just a group of cruel and ferocious robbers, only enough time to enter the city in one day, you must at least leave a gap for them to evacuate, and I can be sure to persuade them." β
"Wouldn't it be good to let them all die in Jinxia City?"
Wang Qingzhi insisted, "Then the Wang family will not be able to sleep peacefully for the rest of their lives." β
Wen Xingyuan stared at him for a long time, and finally nodded, "Two days at most." β
"Thank you for your understanding. β
"You have to prepare for this matter yourself, and everything has nothing to do with the Privy Council. Wait until you're ready, let the old man know a few days in advance. Wen Xingyuan stood up, "The old man doesn't like to force others to act, if the Wang family does a good job, the Privy Council will definitely repay." You are not a monk, but what if there is a person among your children and grandchildren?"
"I see what you mean. Wang Qingzhi then got up and arched his hand, "Don't you finish eating and then leave?"
Wen Xingyuan waved his sleeves and walked straight out of the wing.
When the door closed, another masked man stepped out silently from behind the screen. He wore a black robe trimmed with gold trim, metal finger gloves on his hands, and long hair that reached down to his waist. Listening to his tone, it was as if it was not yourself who wanted others, but you. β
Wang Qingyi changed his previous expression and smiled disdainfully, "Fang Shi is like this, they look down on ordinary people like me from the bottom of their hearts. β
"This is normal, after all, the Qi Senser is closer to the origin of this world. The man said disapprerovingly, "It's just that as a practitioner, his level really disappointed me a little, and the previous five-grade Fangshi was not dull to this point." It seems that a long and stable life will indeed make us weak. β
He paused, "Of course, ordinary people can play an irreplaceable role at some pointβfor example, without the support of you and your father, we would not have been able to obtain the large quantities of salt so smoothly. β
