Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Underground Emperor
The law of the jungle is suitable for all creatures in this world, even high-level social creatures such as humans, they are like fish in water in the law of the jungle, and the interpretation of the law of the jungle can be described as incisive!
Xu Changting obviously can't achieve anything in officialdom in a short period of time, and in the shopping mall, he can't become an influential businessman for a while.
If there is no power and no wealth, then what can be done is power, even if these take time to accumulate slowly, but compared to the accumulation of power and wealth, power is indeed the easiest of the three for him to accumulate.
Human beings are unique social creatures, and just like the construction of the whole society, the powerful will have people, and no one can leave anyone.
If the magnate has no people, the magnate will no longer be the magnates, and the people will not have the domination of the magnates, but there will be a new group of magnates who will stand out, and the people will be the magnates of the iron people, but no matter what, there will be no magnates without the people, no money, and no rights.
And with the powerful, there will be all kinds of invisible interests, oppression, injustice, etc., between the powerful and the people, money, and power.
"Are you using the people as weapons like money and power?" Xie Jingyao frowned slightly.
Xu Changting smiled, got up and patted the dust on his buttocks, and then walked among the woods with Xie Jingyao: "You don't think that I didn't follow my eldest sister and second sister back because I was afraid of Gao Liang's revenge, right?" "Isn't it? Xie Jingyao shook his head and asked.
"Yes, but no. Staying here, I really want to see if anyone is following my eldest sister and second sister. And then there's ...... I want to see what Gao Ke will do. Xu Changting paused, and then said: "Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots and being afraid of retaliation are two different things. ”
"Self-deception." Xie Jingyao said disdainfully, and then asked, "Then what are you going to do, do you really have an idea about this matter?" ”
"Everyone has more or less, one way or another, like you ......." Xu Changting said.
"Don't take me as an example, change someone, such as Wang Yanzhang." Xie Jingyao objected.
"Forget it, then let's not take a single person as an example." Xu Changting compromised, frowned slightly, and said: "Instead of sitting and waiting for Gao Liang's revenge, it is better to take the initiative to attack safe......ly." ”
"Then don't you still have to cut the grass and eradicate ......." Xie Jingyao was puzzled.
"Definitely." Xu Changting shook his head: "I thought a lot about sitting in this pavilion just now, since I can't compete with them head-on now, then I might as well find another way." ”
"For example?" Xie Jingyao asked.
"For example, secretly checking the Gao family, the eldest grandson family, and even the Lu family have some unsightly things and tricks, as long as I hold these in my hands, am I still afraid of their retaliation?" Xu Changting smiled confidently.
Xie Jingyao frowned, a little puzzled, stopped and thought about it, and then walked two quick steps to follow Xu Changting's footsteps: "But even if these gate valve families, royal relatives and nobles have any unsightly secrets, they will not wait for you to investigate on the bright side." If it was really that easy, the political enemies and sworn enemies above the court would have used these to attack each other a long time ago, and it would be your turn? ”
Xu Changting stopped, turned to look at Xie Jingyao, and said with a confident smile: "Let me ask you, whether it is in Danfeng City, or any city in this world, or your Southern Tang Capital City Jian'an, where is the most well-informed?" ”
Xie Jingyao looked at Xu Changting's serious expression, and couldn't help but put away his casual and serious thoughts, and then looked at Xu Changting's eyes and said: "If it is well-informed, whether it is true or not, it is naturally the peddlers' pawns, as well as restaurants, tea shops, and even various Qinglou casinos, etc., of course, there are also those rangers who run the rivers and lakes, etc., they are also very well-informed." ”
"Danfeng City is mixed, and being well-informed is naturally what you said. But not everyone can deal with them casually. Buying and selling officials, annexing land, selling salt and iron privately, opening green houses, casinos, etc., almost all of these industries have the shadow of the gate valve family and the royal family. Not to mention anything else, it is not clear whether he has any contact with Lu Rui a few days ago, but the collusion between Lu Xidao and Li San, I dare to guarantee, exists in many gate valve families and royal nobles. To put it bluntly, even if he wants to take revenge on me, in what way can he retaliate against me? It's nothing more than finding a character from three religions and nine streams to give me some color to see. Revenge on my father from the court? How cautious and cautious my father has been in officialdom over the years, I think you and I know very well, and basically will not leave any leverage for anyone. After Xu Changting finished speaking, he looked at Xie Jingyao calmly.
Xie Jingyao frowned slightly, and still didn't react for a while, what was the purpose of Xu Changting's words.
"What the hell do you want to do?" Although Xie Jingyao hadn't guessed Xu Changting's purpose yet, his intuition told him that this guy seemed to be planning an earth-shattering event!
"Since the lackeys under the interest chain of the gate valve family and the royal family are all three religions and nine streams, and even the Qinglou casino, then ...... Why can't there be my Xu Changting's shadow behind the other one of these three-religion and nine-rate and Qinglou casinos? In this way, wouldn't it mean that I control these gate valve families, royal relatives and nobles? Xu Changting said euphemistically.
"You...... Do you want to rebel? Xie Jingyao didn't know which tendon was wrong, and suddenly such a sentence came out.
"I ...... I made you big, I have a few heads, I rebelled...... Wait a minute. Xu Changting fell into thought, and then looked at Xie Jingyao's somewhat suspicious expression, and burst into a big smile: "Hehe, rebellion is naturally impossible, but ...... It's not bad to have an underground emperor in Danfeng City! ”
"The Underground Emperor?" Xie Jingyaojue's right eyelid is jumping!
"Do you know why spiders weave webs?" Xu Changting asked Xie Jingyao mysteriously.
"Cobweb...... Do you want to integrate the three sects and nine streams in Danfeng City? Xie Jingyao's heart was pounding, this was indeed a bold idea!
The emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty used troops in the Southern Tang Dynasty to unify the north and the south, but it seems that no one has ever thought of unifying the civil forces in the world for my use.
Naturally, there is still a big difference between what Xie Jingyao thought and Xu Changting's idea, and even what Xu Changting told Xie Jingyao is also very different from what he imagined.
Xu Changting didn't think about becoming an underground emperor, but he also knew that if he wanted to catch those gate valve families and royal nobles who he couldn't compete with, he could only take the road of grasping their handles.
It's like why some star actors and some star companies in the previous life were afraid of some reporters who broke the news specially.
And Xu Changting's ultimate goal is to create an intelligence network like a spider's web, so that as long as the gate valve family and the wealthy nobles have the handle in his hands, then will he still be a little afraid of Gao Liang and others as he is today?
"Do you think it's possible?" Xie Jingyao frowned and asked.
"How do you know if you don't try?" Xu Changting said confidently.
"It takes a lot of money, but you're ...... right now I can hear the tinkling sound as you walk. Xie Jingyao looked Xu Changting up and down, this guy only has three taels of silver in his pocket now.
"There's nothing easier for me than making money." Xu Changting smiled confidently, and the figure in front of him flashed, only to see a woman in a light blue shirt and skirt, with a few people planning to walk through the woods and in the direction of the carriage over there.
The afterglow swept by, and Song Yiren, who was walking in front, subconsciously turned his head to look over, just in time to see Xu Changting with a smile on his face, and he didn't know what to say to the person next to him, but he was smiling so happily.
And Xu Changting didn't expect that the one who turned his head to look at his side turned out to be Song Yiren, another Oiran from Danfeng City, who was his hero who saved the beauty a few days ago.
In just half a day, Xu Changting was able to meet the two Oirans of Danfeng City one after another, and he was also fortunate to have three lives.
Both of them were stunned for a moment, but Song Yiren looked at Liu Ya'er beside her a little nervously, and said that Xu Changting was waiting for her here.
Xu Changting was still smiling, waved at Song Yiren who was not far away, and then stepped forward: "I didn't expect such a coincidence, I was lucky enough to meet Miss Song here." ”
Song Yiren was a little flustered, and Liu Ya'er next to him hung her head very low, as if she was afraid of being recognized.
"Yiren has seen Song Gongzi." Song Yiren couldn't help frowning, she had a feeling that she was not good at meeting Xu Changting here.
But in the end, he dragged Liu Ya'er, who was hanging his head very low, and motioned for him to meet Xu Changting.
"Liu Ya'er has seen Xu Gongzi, thank you Xu Gongzi for his grace in relieving the siege that day, and ...... and the grace of the title deed for my father's mother. Liu Ya'er's voice was very small, she seemed a little timid, her head was still hanging very low, and she didn't dare to look at Xu Changting.
Xu Changting didn't know what Song Yiren and Liu Ya'er were thinking, he looked at Liu Ya'er left and right with a smile, and then said with a hint of ridicule: "He Chengtian also said that you are a clever and clever little girl, and said that He Ye'er has lost to you in several fights with you, why is he still stammering." ”
"Childe knows Mr. He?" Liu Ya'er raised her head violently, and her eyes were extraordinarily bright.
"Of course I know, I met when I gave the title deed to your family that day, otherwise I wouldn't know, only your brother and sister are willing to deal with He Chengtian's family in the entire Banlong Village." Xu Changting said with a smile.
Liu Ya'er is a little girl after all, seeing that Xu Changting's smile was very gentle at this moment, she immediately let down her guard and said easily: "Mr. He is actually very powerful, not only can he repair farm tools, but also taught me and my brother to read and write, but they are all taught secretly, and I dare not let people know." ”
"Then did He Chengtian say that you are smarter than He Ye'er?" Xu Changting asked with a smile.
"He Ye'er is just preoccupied, but in fact, she is smarter than me and my brother. She couldn't quarrel with me because she was afraid that after she won me, I would never play with her again. I also found out later, so she was smarter than me. Liu Yaer seemed to open the conversation.
And Song Yiren on the side did not stop him, so he watched Liu Ya'er talk to Xu Changting with the coachman and the guard.
The reason why Song Yiren identified Liu Yaer was precisely because Liu Yaer knew words, and she was indeed very sharp-toothed, smart and clever.
It's only been a few days since she came to Qingyun Tower, and she already knows the priorities, and several times she secretly told her some things she heard in Qingyun Tower after serving herself and falling asleep.
And these things are often related to her Song Yiren.
As for those things that don't matter to him, at least now, Song Yiren hasn't heard Liu Ya'er chew the root of his tongue.
It is precisely because of Liu Yaer's cleverness and cleverness that after Song Yiren learned Xu Changting's identity, he suddenly had some gains and losses, and some were reluctant to follow her for only a few days.
"Xu Gongzi...... Didn't Gongzi Xu come to take Liu Ya'er back to Banlong Village? Song Yiren looked at Xu Changting's non-hostile, free and gentle posture, and couldn't help blurting out.
"Take her back to Banlong Village? Why? Xu Changting asked inexplicably.
Hearing Xu Changting's answer, a relieved smile instantly appeared on Song Yiren's beautiful face, and that smile was in the woods...... It's like a delicate peach blossom that instantly spreads all over the forest, making people's hearts sway.
