Chapter 45: Hypocrisy and Wrongdoing
In the Jiang family's mansion in Windy City, Jiang Yi led the way for Jiang Shangyu with a cold face. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info From last night to this morning, Jiang Shangyu's vague resistance made Jiang Yi very unhappy.
In the past few decades, this middle-aged man has lived in the glory of the Jiang family, climbing all the way from the miscellaneous servant to the position of deacon, relying not only on ability, but also on bravery.
The Jiang family in Windy City is very large, with rich buildings and clear functions inside, and it has almost become a city within a city. The two entered the door and walked for about half an hour before entering the main house. Not long after entering the main house, Jiang Yi stopped in a corridor on the right side of the main house.
Jiang Shangyu, who was silent all the way, only then did he raise his head and look at the lintel, a plaque was hanging on the door, and a few big characters were written in Cui Shuxuan. "Whose study is it again? Jiang Shangyu secretly slandered in his heart.
"The elder of the Seven Clans, the Jiang family of Rudi has brought it. Jiang Yi stood at the door and said.
"Come in. The voice was a little rough, and the elder of the Seven Clans answered inside.
Walking into the richly decorated study, there was a man in his thirties, younger than Jiang Yi, this clan elder was wearing a dark blue plain shirt, a yellow belt tied around his waist, a pair of deep eyes, and a tall figure. Seeing Jiang Shangyu, his body suddenly shook, and his face moved imperceptibly.
"Please sit down with tea. Seeing Jiang Shangyu, the elder of the Seven Clans said with a gentle smile. "My name is Jiang Hongwen, I am Feng Danluo's uncle, I heard that you had some misunderstandings with Danluo in Tianrui City, I thought that since they are all passed down by the same bloodline, they shouldn't be so born, so I want to invite you to come and explain in person. ”
Jiang Hongwen pointed to the teacup on the table in front of him while talking to Jiang Shangyu.
"The old man of the clan is serious, and the kid and Brother Feng don't know each other. Jiang Shangyu observed Jiang Hongwen, the elder of the Seven Clans, and said, "It's just that we just left Tianrui City when we heard the news that Brother Feng was stabbed in the mansion, which is really regrettable. ”
Jiang Hongwen didn't pick up this topic, he didn't care much about Feng Danluo, he still has many nephews in Jiang's family, and Feng Danluo's relationship is a little farther away after all.
"The day before yesterday, I received a letter from Tianrui City, and I learned that you were a handsome man from the Jiang family in Rudi, so I wanted to see you under joy, and you don't feel pressured. After a pause, Jiang Hongwen said again: "We also know the affairs of the Jiang family in Rudi, but the Jiang family has branched out a lot of branches thousands of years ago, and each branch has occasional encounters, some of which we can help, and some of which we can't do." ”
Jiang Shangyu heard the hint, solemnly stood up and saluted: "The clan elder has tormented the juniors, although my Jiang family in Rudi is broken, but the inheritance is still there, this time more than a dozen Jiang family children came to the national capital with me to take root." ”
The elder of the Seven Clans looked at Jiang Shangyu noncommittal, and paused for a while before saying, "Don't be so angry, sit down quickly." Since the virtuous nephew knows our difficulties, I have come to invite you to meet, and there is one more matter. ”
"Please say the clan elder. Jiang Shangyu looked at the other party and tried his best to pretend to be a little expectant in his eyes.
"Okay, then I'll make it clear, since the Jiang family in Rudi has been broken, but my main family is still there, you can merge into my main lineage, the Jiang family has always been a family, you can think about it carefully. "The elder of the Seven Clans has learned from his sister's letter that Jiang Shangyu still has a huge amount of money in his hand, which is a huge amount of money that the Jiang family in Windy City is also very jealous of, and he also wants to slowly get this money over through the way of confluence and use it as his own private treasury.
"I have to go back and ask your clan brothers, I am not satisfied with the clan elders, I have already devoted myself to the Holy Academy of Linjiang City, and I also want to establish a branch in the capital this time, and I don't want to take care of things in the family. Jiang Shang is still empty and wrong.
"It's okay, you go back and ask, it's all the same Jiang family, and you don't have to separate them. Jiang Hongwen said again, and talked to Jiang Shangyu again.
After talking for a while, Jiang Shangyu also knew the relevant information about the Jiang family in Windy City. If there are more than 400 people in the core clan, but the other branches of the main vein and so on, I am afraid that there are thousands of people in total, as for the Jiang family, who has been in the middle of the national capital for nearly a thousand years, it has accumulated a lot of secret power, and the wealth of the peripheral business houses and so on, it is really not to be underestimated.
"Patriarch, the kid's family teacher also entered the national capital today, if there is nothing to do, the kid will go back first. Jiang Shangyu reluctantly sat for a while and said goodbye to Jiang Hongwen, the old man of the Seven Clans.
"Okay, then you go back, and remember to discuss it with your brothers. If there is something to report my name, not to mention anything else, no one in the capital of the country dares to despise our Jiang family. Jiang Hongwen said loudly, waving his hand and ordering a servant beside him to take Jiang Shangyu down without mentioning it.
Looking at Jiang Shangyu's back, Jiang Hongwen snorted and was about to pick up a cup of tea beside him. Deacon Jiang Yi hurriedly took a step faster, grabbed the tea first, handed it to Jiang Hongwen, bowed his head and said: "Clan Elder, this kid seems to be soft and hard, the warrior we caught last night didn't know the truth about Jiang Shangyu's team when he used spells, but such a team almost wiped out the power of the Jiang family in Tianrui City, what should we do next?"
Jiang Hongwen slowly drank a cup of tea: "Don't do it, Feng Danluo only thinks about doing it, we can use our brains." In the national capital, who dares to use force easily? The Son of Heaven is listening to the whole city, and those who use force can't escape, let's see how they move later, anyway, the main vein has to have ideas about the branch with only a dozen or so kittens left, how to knead it doesn't depend on our minds?"
"Why is the Jiang family so short of money in Windy City?" In the compound in the southeast district of Windy City, Hirata asked Jiang Shangyu a strange question.
Jiang Shangyu reported the conversation of the Jiang family's main line without missing a word, which caused Hirata to think.
"Maybe it's to rebel against the big thing, so you're short of money?" Jiang Shangyu said tentatively.
"No, it's not that simple. The Jiang family's position as the minister of government has lasted for thousands of years, and now although the power is monstrous, in front of the Feng family, it is still not worth mentioning. Hirata pondered.
"Teacher, I suddenly remembered that my father, the head of the Jiang family, had told the clan elders that the Jiang family distributed various branches back then, but there was actually a big layout. It's just that I was young at the time, and my father didn't reveal anything to me. Jiang Shangyu suddenly thought of this past and said it.
"In this way, the confluence of the two gingers needs to be discussed, but after I meet the Son of Heaven, I will discuss it with you, and I will not mention the matter for now. You also have to merge with Chen Tianzi Jiang's plot before merging, so as not to be implicated by the main vein after the merger. Hirata pressed his mind and said to Jiang Shangyu: "Let me tell you the bottom of it, in fact, I promoted the confluence of the two gingers at the beginning, in addition to wanting to borrow the help of the Jiang family in the world, I also had a plan for the void blessed land of the two gingers." ”
Hirata looked directly at Jiang Shangyu: "Your Rudi Jiang family once built a void passage to enter my Qi family's blessed land before, and I also want to follow this move, enter the two Jiang blessed lands in one fell swoop, and collect the wealth of the blessed land." ”
Jiang Shangyu lowered his head and listened carefully to Hirata's plan, when he entered the Holy Academy, he was very disappointed in his family and did not have much affection. What's more, after being inspired by the holy book, he became the most honest disciple of Hirata, so he naturally looked forward to Hirata.
"Then teacher, let's merge our Rudi Jiang clan into the main line, I am willing to be the teacher's pawn, promote to the third order as soon as possible, and obtain the void coordinates for the teacher. Jiang Shangyu said anxiously.
"Besides, it's easy to merge, but the last tens of thousands of gold of your Rudi Jiang family is the capital for the construction of the branch of the Most Holy Academy in the national capital, and whether you can keep this money and merge again needs to be discussed. Hirata said, his brow furrowed.
