(A few words before the article: When the catastrophe comes, the situation in Wenchuan may be better than I imagined yesterday...... But it was finally confirmed that the epicenter was near Yingxiu. Of course, I didn't have anything to do in Hubei, but I was very worried about that side, and my mood was very unstable.

Here, I wish the book friends in Kawauchi a safe and healthy family, and if you are willing to do so, please donate your blood and help those who are injured, thank you. )
......
......
The laughter didn't last long before it stopped, because Fan Xian suddenly realized that he was too smug and rampant, which was not a good sign.
And Ming Qingda, who had fainted, also woke up, the big robe in the silk cotton was windless, his fists were clenched, his eyes were slightly red, and he stared at Fan Xian's face fiercely.
The laughter stopped, and the people woke up, as if the previous scene had not happened, but in fact, everyone knew that thirty percent of the Ming family's shares had fallen into Fan Xian's hands.
If only 30%. That's still not enough.
Ming Qingda looked at Xia Qifei who was standing behind Fan Xian, thinking of the shares in this person's hand, and then thinking of the fourth master of Ming who was gradually separated from the family, his heart became colder and colder, but there was still a hope of luck.
"Drop-off. The old man took one last look at the paperwork in Fan Xian's hand, and said a little tiredly.
Fan Xian didn't move, squinting at the beautiful buildings in the Ming Garden, full of admiration, as if this garden had become his.
Ming Qingda's complexion changed again.
Xia Qifei flashed out from behind Fan Xian and glanced at his eldest brother. Said softly: "Send off." ”
It's the same two send-offs, but they come from the lips of two people. This represents the ownership of the Ming family and the identity of the owner of the Ming family. Xia Qifei has officially stood up and began to challenge Ming Qingda.
The guests in the living room knew that this was a big deal today, and they didn't know what would happen next, what kind of thing the old man of the Ming family would do under the anger, in order to protect Mingzhe, everyone quickly got out and left, and they couldn't even care about the number of courtesies. Including Suzhou government witness officials in the mainland. He also hurriedly saluted Fan Xian and fled from the garden.
......
......
The hall suddenly fell silent, and the people left behind included the people on Fan Xian's side. There are also two-room men in the Ming family, although the number is not many, but they know that there will be a showdown soon. No one dared to make a sound.
Ming Qingda glanced at Fan Xian coldly, took out a deed from his arms, and slowly tore it off: "Why don't you make a scoundrel swallow this half of Lanshi's shares?"
Fan Xian glanced at him, shook his head, and said, "I am an official of the imperial court, and I don't do business, what do you want your son's shares to do?"
He walked behind his group, sat down in a chair, and said no more, just quietly admiring the scene.
He rushed to Suzhou today, on the one hand, to watch this big show, on the other hand, to support Xia Qifei, the Ming family has been in Jiangnan for a long time, and there are thousands of private soldiers under his hands, if he really wants to make a big deal, Xia Qifei's Jiangnan Water Village may not be able to resist head-on.
Xia Qifei stood in front of Ming Qingdadi, smiled slightly, and said: "The owner of China Merchants Qianzhuang has written a book in advance, and I will speak for the thirty percent of the shares in his hand." A few years ago, the Suzhou government sentenced the eldest brother to compensate Xiao Qi as appropriate, and the eldest brother was generous and gave a hundred percent of the shares, Xiao Qi was grateful, and the eldest brother will die in the Ming Garden in the future, and Xiao Qi will serve with all his heart. ”
Ming Qingda barely stood in the hall with his son's support, he glanced at the Ming man behind him, a miserable smile appeared on his face, and said: "It seems that there are many people who have secretly thrown themselves to you, otherwise you wouldn't be so confident in speaking...... Speaking of which, during this year, my Ming family's energy has been spent on dealing with Xiao Fan, but they have neglected you. ”
As soon as these words came out, the men of the Ming clan had complicated expressions, and they had secretly thrown themselves into the Xia Qi enclave with shame, and those who didn't know the inside story looked shocked, only the fourth master of the Ming clan looked at the sky with two eyes, and he was indescribably indifferent.
Ming Qingda took a deep breath, his face looked extremely old, he knew that since the other party dared to come to grab the position of the master of the Ming family, he must have been completely sure, but he still had the idea of struggling at the end.
He looked back and stared at Fourth Master Ming coldly, and said word by word: "You also gave him the shares?"
"Those who know the times are Junjie. Fourth Master Ming said slowly.
Ming Qingda laughed miserably, pointed at his nose and scolded: "Fool! The Ming family died because of this, all because of you! I see how you will go to see the ancestors of the Ming family after you die, and how you will face your mother after you stay for a while!"
Fourth Master Ming trembled slightly, and then sneered, and his smile looked very vicious: "Big brother, I don't have the face to see me?" I was arrested in the Suzhou Mansion Prison last year, you didn't let people come to catch me, and you actually sent someone to assassinate me...... Such a brother, do you have the face to meet?"
Ming Qingda stared into his eyes and said, "The situation at that time had to be so ......"
"I understand. Fourth Master Ming smiled nervously: "You want the Jiangnan gentry to sympathize with our Ming family, so you want me to die in prison...... But have you thought about it? I'm also the son of the Ming family! Why do you want me to die? Why don't you die?"
Why don't you die?
Ming Qingda trembled, turned around and shouted at Xia Qifei: "Show your hole cards! Even if the two aunts of the third and fourth children voted for you, you are still not enough!"
Xia Qifei glanced at him and said slowly: "China Merchants Money Bank has more than thirty percent in its hands. ”
"More than thirty percent?"
"yes. Xia Qifei said calmly: "Do you know how much money Ming Lao Liu owes outside over the years...... He is the youngest son of Lao Taijun, and you have always been jealous of him, so you are very cruel to him. It was forbidden for him to meddle in the property, but he was playful and liked to use silver...... Then he had to reach out and borrow from outside, and he had no property, of course, he could only use the shares left to him by the old lady as collateral. ”
"Sixth?" Ming Qingda's eyes widened, he couldn't have imagined that the key to the change of ownership of the Ming family was actually from his own brother, he looked back in amazement, looking at the crowd in fear. Ming Liuye, who had been retreating to the back of the team, said in a daze: "Sixth...... Are you crazy?"
Ming Liuye looked dead at this time. Half-bent to hide behind the crowd, dodging the devouring gaze of the eldest brother. Under the prestige of the head of the Ming Qingda family. The men of these tribes were all frightened back by his murderous gaze.
"It's not that he's crazy, it's that all the people in the Ming family are crazy. Xia Qifei said indifferently: "Look at this garden, the people in it all have their own thoughts, and their stomachs are bad...... Including me, all people with the surname Ming are born with selfishness and weakness in their bones, and when disaster comes. Does anyone remember that last name? The cause of the defeat of the Ming family is still you. You guard against everyone in your clan, but you blindly give in to the pressure outside...... Act so. How can you not be defeated?"
There was silence in the room.
Ming Qingda suddenly laughed, but the despair and anger that the laughter couldn't describe, he pointed at Xia Qifei and said, "You think you have taken fifty percent of the shares." Don't forget, there is still a share in the palace and a share in the army in the Ming family's industry, which you can control...... It's still not enough!"
At this time, Fan Xian, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke and said softly: "That's a dry stock." ”
The two words dry stock point out the situation.
Fan Xian looked at Ming Qingda, who was already about to fall into a state of madness, and said, "If you don't go to the account book, can you take it out and fight a lawsuit openly?"
Ming Qingda stared at Fan Xian's hateful beautiful face and said, "Little Fan, are you ...... Do you really dare to eat the shares of the eldest princess and the old man Qin?"
Fan Xian stood up, tilted his head slightly, thought for a while, and then said with a gentle smile: "If I don't dare to eat, what am I going to do today?"
......
......
In a quiet small courtyard in Mingyuan, Ming Qingda sat alone at his desk, his floor was no longer shiny, like a copper lamp that had been boiled and greased, indescribably haggard. This afternoon, Xia Qifei had already driven him down from the position of the master of the Ming family with the shares he occupied, and at the same time, under the double notarization or supervision of Jiangnan Road and the Supervision Yuan, all the account books have been sealed, and all the personnel in the park have been replaced.
Ming Qingda, the former master of the Ming family who had been enduring for a year, couldn't even pass on his orders at all at this time. Although he only had half a day, he knew that once he fell into this situation, it was only a matter of time before he was forgotten by the people of the Ming family and the people of Jiangnan.
"Why...... Fan Xian dared to do so. The old man was puzzled, and the deep wrinkles on his forehead were sandwiched with the color of dead ashes, and he muttered to himself, "The eldest princess will help me." ”
"Did you say?" he asked, a little dazed.
Mrs. Aunt's face also showed a hint of fear, she was originally the eldest princess's personal palace maid, and was sent to the Jiangnan Ming family, one is to monitor, the other is to be responsible for contact, last year Ming Qingda died of his biological mother, it was through this Ming old lady's eldest girl ring, who received the nod in the palace.
"I don't know...... There has been no response from the palace, it can't be an accident, right?"
Ming Qingda laughed miserably: "No wonder...... No wonder Fan Xian is so confident, it turns out that he already knows that the palace can't help us...... If even the eldest princess has a problem, he is just a piece of fat in his mouth, he can eat it whenever he wants, and he has come up with so many means, he can be regarded as worthy of me. ”
"I can't afford you. ”
Fan Xian led Xia Qifei to push the door in, rubbed his hands that were a little cold, sat opposite Ming Qingda, and said: "From the beginning, you and I both knew that it was too easy for the imperial court to destroy your Ming family...... The problem is that the court doesn't want to ruin you.
Ming Qingda glanced at him.
"Your Majesty wants a whole intact Ming family, not a Ming family that is on the verge of bankruptcy, dying, and finally ruined, so it is indeed difficult to eat you. Fan Xian said: "And this matter is best to be resolved peacefully, so as not to cause too many lives and mess up the livelihood of the people in Jiangnan...... You know that the Ming family is a giant beast, and it is not easy to tame it. ”
He continued: "This official gave you a chance, but you didn't take it. ”
Ming Qingda gasped a little heavily, and said, "What will you do next? You must know that I still have at least half of the shares in my hand." ”
"From now on, you are not qualified to speak in the Ming family. Fan Xian said: "From today onwards, the Ming family will talk about things by Xia Qifei." ”
Xia Qifei spoke on the side, as if he was explaining to Ming Qingda, and it was like a final blow to this old man that hurt to the depths of his soul: "I have ordered that all the account books of Mingyuan be sent to the Governor's Mansion on Jiangnan Road, and fully cooperate with the imperial court to review the repeated looting of ships in the library in previous years. ”
