Chapter 5 "The Palace's Countermeasures"
Ice and Snow City North, Palace, Hall.
At this time, the hall could hear the pins dropping, and the silence was terrifying. A group of Wang family's retinue stood tremblingly on both sides, two of them holding Wang Jian's two arms; There are a pair of middle-aged men and women sitting in two seats in the hall, the man is dressed in brocade clothes, and his face is at least five points similar to Wang Jian, the only obvious difference is that there are two more mustaches, and although the woman has entered middle age, her body is plump and charming, and she looks at the man without saying a word, they are Wang Jian's parents.
Finally, a loud male voice broke the long silence, "Say!" What the hell is going on?! ”
The attendant closest to the middle-aged man reluctantly told the man everything that had happened before......
The more the man listened, the more ugly his face became, and when the entourage finished speaking, the man could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and slapped his left palm on the mahogany square table beside him.
Bang –
The table collapsed under the strength of the man's palm, and the sound of the teacup on the table shattering to the ground clearly reached the ears of everyone present, and all the entourage couldn't help but tremble.
"How can this be true? It's really annoying to me! With that, the man's right hand waved in the void, and he saw a palm condensed by Yuan Qi appear out of thin air next to Wang Jian's left face, and it was suddenly drawn on his left cheek.
Syllable---
Wang Jian woke up immediately after the pain, and shouted like a rattle, "Brother Bing, I was wrong, don't fight..."
It doesn't matter if you don't shout, when the man heard this, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and with a move of his left hand, another palm appeared on Wang Jian's right cheek, and quickly exhaled on his face, unlike the one just now, this time the force was obviously much heavier, so that Wang Jian's hands shook off the entourage next to him and turned three times before falling to the ground.
"Wow--- my ass"
The man scolded, "Your mother is a waste, not only did you lose the Red Moon Dagger, but you also danced on the street." How did I give birth to such an unfilial son as you, the face of the Wang family has been lost to you! ”
When Wang Jian heard the familiar scolding, he finally recognized where he was, and stood up and defended: "Father, you can't blame me all, I have already beaten Pan Jue's waste down, who would have thought that I would kill the Han family." ”
At this time, the woman sitting next to the man spoke, "Husband, dissipate your breath, your body is important, you go and help Gongzi down to rest." ”
"Yes! Madam! ”
The entourage let out a sigh of relief, and hurriedly picked up Wang Jian from the ground and fled out of the hall.
At the moment of stepping out of the hall, only they knew how dangerous it was just now, and although their backs were soaked with sweat, they were lucky enough to pass by Hades....
After the next person was gone, the man said angrily, "Madam, this revenge will be avenged, otherwise how will I swallow this evil breath." In my opinion, let's send men and horses to kill the generals now. ”
The woman said slowly, "Husband, don't be impulsive. This revenge must be avenged, but it is not appropriate to kill it directly, after all, the Han family is powerful, and the old city lord has a very good relationship with the Pan and Han families, and it must be us who rashly make trouble; Why don't you accompany me to Xiao Mansion to find my father, and let's discuss a countermeasure together, what do you think? ”
"Okay, it's still Madame's thoughtfulness. Let's go and see my father-in-law now. ”
......
In the Ice and Snow City, Pan, Han, Wang, Xiao, and Han constitute the framework of its five major forces, and of course, there are many families of different sizes under the five major families. Among them, the Han Mansion, that is, the City Lord's Mansion, has the largest number of supporters, and the distribution of forces is the largest, and the Pan Mansion is the smallest; Secondly, the power of the three families of Han Wang and Xiao is about the same. Now although the Pan Mansion has been lonely, secretly because of the support of the old city lord, the various forces now maintain a delicate balance, and the father in Wang Jian's mother's mouth is Xiao He, the head of the Xiao Mansion, one of the five major mansions.
The night was dark, and the flow of people on the street at this time gradually decreased, so when two passers-by in a hurry ran around, they were quickly distinguished, they were the royal couple......
"Knock knock.."
After a while, the vermilion gate slowly opened, and a subordinate came out and said, "Huh? My aunt and eldest lady are back."
"Well, we have something important to look for my father, hurry up and report it"
"Oh, okay, please go to the council hall and take a rest first"
"Okay, there you go. Husband, let's go to the council hall first," and the couple walked towards the house....
"Uncle, eldest lady, the old lady has arrived!"
With the servant's reminder, the couple turned their heads to look at the door, only to see a hunchbacked bald old man in a blue cloth shirt walking in slowly with a cane, he was Xiao He, the head of the Xiao Mansion.
"Father-in-law"
"Daddy"
The couple greeted in unison.
"Well, what's the urgency for the two of you to look for me this New Year?"
Walked up to the old man and helped him sit on a chair covered with silver fur, "Dad, let's let the iron shirt talk to you."
Wang Tieshan bowed down and said, "Father-in-law, is this the case......"
After Wang Tieshan finished telling what happened, Xiao He frowned slightly, and said, "Hey, I don't have to worry about this New Year, it seems that this balance is going to be broken." Yu'er was right not to approve before, after all, it is not easy for our two families to develop to the current scale, and it is too hurtful to hurt people and money if they are difficult at the moment, not to mention whether they can be defeated, even if they win, they will definitely be a miserable victory. Then we have to use other methods, if we want to deal with the Pan and Han families, the first thing we have to do is to get rid of the old city lord, as for the current new city lord, it is not so much that he is neutral, but that he is a wall grass, so there is nothing to worry about. ”
"Hmm... In this way, we are divided into three ways: the Han family is mainly from selling all kinds of pills, and I am sure that the Han family will definitely prepare a gift of pills to give to the old city lord during the New Year, and what we have to do is to find a way to get a list of gifts, and then use two or three of the medicines, and leave this to Yu'er; Iron shirt, what you have to do is to cooperate with Yu'er to find an internal response in the Han family, I heard that Han Wuyu has two sons, the eldest son Han Bing and the second son Han Shui. Han Wu wanted to identify Han Bing as the heir of the head of the family, so the two brothers were not in harmony, so Han Shui was a good candidate. ”
"Secondly, you also have to send some dead soldiers to pretend to be people from the Han family to assassinate the old city lord, if you can succeed, it will be very beneficial to us if you can't succeed; It's best the day before the Han family's gift, I guess that with the suspicious personality of the old city lord, he may not think that the assassination was carried out by the Han family, so we need to match the time of the assassination and the delivery of the medicine, and when he finds out that the poison is sent, then he can't help it. The assassination and the delivery of medicine are really hard to believe or not, so the spearhead will be aimed at the Han family, and it is best that the relationship between the two families will collapse, so he will not interfere if we deal with the Han family. ”
"And I myself will personally go to the City Lord's Mansion to talk to the City Lord, I believe that as long as I give him enough benefits, he will be a good collaborator."
After Xiao He finished speaking, Wang Tieshan and Xiao Yu looked at each other and smiled, "Father-in-law/Dad is wise!" ”
"Okay, the plan has been decided, you guys go back and prepare" Xiao He waved his hand and knocked down the floor with his cane.
Wang Tieshan laughed and said, "Haha, Han family, your death is coming!" Let's go, ma'am, let's go and make arrangements. ”
At night, the ice and snow city is brightly lit, and the white snow is reflected in the light of the lights, making the whole sky dim and peaceful. Under such a wonderful night scene, for the rich, the drunken night has just begun....
The Ice & Snow Restaurant is located in the most prosperous area of the Ice and Snow City, and you can see the four big characters carved from luminite stone from afar, and the whole building is magnificent; With first-class facilities and thoughtful service, it occupies the reputation of the first restaurant in the city, and it is precisely because of its existence that it has established the unshakable position of Hanfu in the city!
The lobby of the restaurant is resplendent and warm and comfortable, with a golden carpet on the ground in a radius of 100 feet, and a huge jade carved spring in the center that never stops working, flanked by an upward and downward crystal staircase.
Since it was dinner time, the building was full of people, and slender maids were busy shuttling through the crowd.
At this time, in a VIP room on the top floor of the restaurant, it was quiet and extraordinary, and I saw Wang Tieshan, the head of the royal family, diligently pouring wine for a young man.
The young man said, "Master Wang, the people of the entire Ice and Snow City know that you and I are incompatible, and we are enemies rather than friends. Today, you have a big banquet, but you invite me, a person who doesn't have much right to speak, I don't know what the purpose is? ”
Wang Tieshan smiled and said, "Hey, where are you talking, how can the second son of the Han family be a person who has no right to speak, besides, what I am setting up today is not a Hongmen banquet, but a heart-to-heart banquet, it is true that the relationship between you and me is not good, but it is a matter of me and Han Wuxi, what does it have to do with you." ”
Han Shui said, "Hehe, what the head of the Wang family said is really incomprehensible, why is your relationship with my father not related to my son?" If the head of the Wang family is playing literary games with me today, then I will not accompany him, farewell! With that, he got up and walked to the door.
Seeing this, Wang Tieshan hurriedly chased after him, "Young Master Han, please stay!" ”
Han Shui turned his head and said, "What?" ”
Wang Tieshan put his arm on Han Shui's shoulder and said, "Come on, come on, Han Gongzi, sit down, I'll talk to you slowly." With all due respect, Mr. Han said bluntly, Mr. Han, you said that you are a talent, gentle and elegant. In my opinion, you are many times stronger than your crazy and stupid big brother, but your father, an old fool, gave him the position of the head of the family, and even I, an outsider, can't look at it, and I am really glad and chilled about this. ”
"Oh? What a joy and a chilling method? ”
Wang Tieshan said: "Fortunately, with your Han Gongzi's great talent, you failed to become the head of the Han Mansion; The chilling thing is also that with your Han Gongzi's great talent, you failed to become the head of the Han family. ”
"The head of the Wang family, since ancient times, my father has his own reasons for this matter, but it is not something that I and you, an outsider, can question!" Han Shui said coldly.
Wang Tieshan said calmly, "Okay! In this case, Han Gongzi, let's not talk darkly. I know that you will inevitably be dissatisfied with this matter, don't be in a hurry to quibble, I can help you get the position of the head of the Han family, and I need you to help me realize my plan! ”
"Farewell!" With that, Han Shui got up angrily.
"Hmph, are you leaving, someone is coming" After saying that, Wang Tieshan clapped his hands, and suddenly a large wave of Wang family's guards rushed into the room and forced Han Shui back into the room.
Han Shui said in horror, "Master Wang, what do you mean?!" ”
Wang Tieshan said slowly, "Han Gongzi, don't toast and don't eat and drink, otherwise I won't be able to control my subordinates, if any of you who don't have long eyes accidentally hurt Han Gongzi, it's not good."
"You threaten me?!" Han asked.
"Hehe, sort of, so Han Gongzi, you better sit down and let's have a good talk" Wang Tieshan shook his wine glass and said leisurely.
Seeing this, Han Shui suddenly laughed and sat next to Wang Tieshan and said, "Okay! The head of the Wang family is so hospitable, if Han doesn't know how to lift up, he can't say it. ”
"Yes, yes, yes! is the so-called person who knows the times as Junjie, Han Gongzi is a smart person, like this gang of bastards under me, who knows how to dance knives and guns, you don't get out of here, if you hurt Han Gongzi, you all have to die! ”
As soon as the words ended, a group of guards quickly exited the room.
Immediately, Wang Tieshan said happily, "Master Han, come to drink and drink, this is a good wine, you must drink a few more glasses..."
"Well, yes, it's really good wine, hahaha...."
One room, one seat, two people, the conspiracy began to take root in the conversation between the two pushing the cup and changing the lamp......
