Chapter 483: Black Market
Luo Qingyuan got up slowly, looked at Wang Tianfang with disdain for three days, shook his head, and said softly.
"It seems that the old man was still too good to you back then, and after so many years, the dog still can't change his mind of eating and wanting to beat the old man."
"Well, after being immersed in it for so many years, the world must have forgotten the old man, and this time when I went out of the mountain, I should let them know who Luo Qingyuan is."
As Luo Qingyuan's voice fell, one of the shadow guards waved his palm violently.
This move made the three of them scared half to death, and they hurriedly shouted, "Luo Qingyuan, you can't kill us, if we die, you can't get out of it!" ”
Just when the three of them retreated, wanting to hide in the crowd, what came at them was not a so-called secret weapon, just a letter.
The three of them were stunned, with a little embarrassment on their faces, and Luo Qingyuan sneered.
"Hmph, kill you? With your kind of goods, I dirty the old man's hands, and keeping you is still useful to the old man. ”
"Let's take a look, the old man went out of the mountain this time, but not to teach you a lesson, you don't have that qualification, to tell you the truth, the position of this Xizhou pastor, the old man wanted."
Luo Qingyuan's words made the faces of the three of them change instantly, and their eyes were full of shock.
"What... What, are you going to sit in the West State Shepherd? It's impossible! ”
Old Patriarch Chen was the first to speak with shock, and then hurriedly denied it.
It's not that they look down on Luo Qingyuan, the appointment of the state pastor position is only qualified to be held by His Majesty's personal title today.
Luo Qingyuan has been in seclusion for almost twenty years, and he has nothing at hand except for the Shadow Guard.
The Shadow Guard can protect his safety, but Luo Qingyuan, who has no connections, what qualifications can he deter the big and small families in Xizhou?
The Shadow Guard alone is not enough.
With the doubts in the eyes of the three of them, Luo Qingyuan shook his head and said, "Whether the old man can be a pastor in Xizhou, it's not your turn to worry about it, this news, the old man is not asking for your opinion, but informing you to wait." ”
"If you don't believe it, make a bet with the old man, and when you read the letter in your hand, I think you will change your mind."
With their eyes flashing and hesitant looks, the three of them opened the envelope and looked at the opened letter together.
After a while, the faces of the three of them were full of mixed emotions, shock, disbelief, and fear.
Wang Tian raised his head violently and said in a lost voice, "Luo Qingyuan, what is written on this is true?" ”
Hearing Wang Tianfang's questioning, the smile on Luo Qingyuan's face was even worse, his fingers pinched his ears, and he said with a slow look, "True or not, Wang Tianfang, you are also the head of the clan, let your subordinates check and know, the old man didn't stop you." ”
Wang Tianfang's face was cloudy, and he beckoned, asking his subordinates to leave here as quickly as possible to find out something.
In this wait, the three old patriarchs did not say a word, and then sat down.
The juniors behind him had a strong curiosity on their faces, they didn't know that their old patriarch would have such a big reaction after reading a letter.
Even Wang Tianfang, who has always been as calm as water, was a little out of shape, and the three old patriarchs seemed to be trying their best to remain calm, but on the palm of the armrest, they obviously felt the tension of the three of them.
Not to mention that these juniors are quite curious, even Su Qi'an is the same.
can make the three of them lose their temper with a letter and a sentence, and this kind of pinching Su Qi'an is quite interesting.
This kind of waiting was not long, only about a stick of incense, and several of the subordinates who left the county government all returned one after another.
Came to the three of them, leaned to their ears, whispered something, and when the words fell, his subordinates turned and left.
And the faces of the three old patriarchs, although their faces did not change much, their silence said it all.
"I don't know if this time, the old man is qualified to sit in the position of Xizhou pastor?"
Luo Qingyuan's faint voice echoed in the ears of the three people, and soon, the three of them, who were a little silent, finally let go of their mouths on behalf of Wang Tian.
He sighed, stared at Luo Qingyuan's eyes, with a little softness, then got up and said with great respect.
"This time I miscalculated, it is a blessing for Xizhou that Lord Luo can return to the officialdom and politics, and I hope that Lord Luo can see that I can let us go in terms of the contribution of the three families many years ago."
"From now on, we will assure Lord Luo that only Lord Luo is the first to look forward, and there is no second heart, I just ask that Lord Luo can let us go, please."
Wang Tianfang's words made the juniors behind him have a deep disbelief on their faces, and even caused an uproar.
Is this still the old patriarch they know? There was such a polite and soft day.
The impact of this scene on them was huge, so big that they couldn't digest it in a short period of time.
The uproar of the juniors, Wang Tianfang didn't pay attention to it at all, and kept staring at Luo Qingyuan.
This request is from the heart, and everyone can see it, as if the three families have some handle and are being held by Luo Qingyuan.
The consequences of this kind of handle are fatal, to the point where Wang Tianfang has to easily submit to it.
Luo Qingyuan sat on the chair, his face was full of casualness, and said softly, "If you want to ask for mercy, you have to ask the person if he agrees to this matter, the old man agreed, and he can only say that you have half of the chance, and the other half, you need to fight for it yourself." ”
Wang Tianfang reacted quickly, and took the two patriarchs, Chen and Liu, to Su Qi'an above, and expressed his willingness to obey Su Qi'an.
As long as Su Qi'an can let them go, the three of them will definitely do their best to maintain Su Qi'an's status in Xizhou.
This scene really surprised Su Qi'an, although he didn't know what Luo Qingyuan relied on to subdue these three.
But he could see that Luo Qingyuan had no murderous intentions towards them, just a kind of beating.
The hidden family still has a lot of weight in Xizhou, as Wang Tianfang said, if Su Qi'an really kills indiscriminately, he will be the next unlucky.
It's better to keep it than to kill it, although these guys are cheap, it is still good to keep them.
Their own heritage is placed here, and some things in Xizhou sometimes have their help.
With Luo Qingyuan here, it is enough to pinch them to death, just with the three families as negative examples, to knock the mountain and shock the tiger.
Even the hermit family has stopped cooking, which is enough to deter other families and dare not act rashly.
Su Qi'an pondered for a while, and followed Luo Qingyuan's words, "Since Luo Lao let you go, Ben Hou is not a person who kills indiscriminately, your life is saved, but the death penalty is forgiven, and the living crime is inescapable, during this time, I have caused some trouble in the Sichuan capital county town, and some of the descendants of the family should also be in charge, how to manage it, what to do, I don't think Ben Hou said it, the three of them should be clear." ”
Wang Tianfang and the three of them nodded again and again, looking sincere, "That's natural, it should be compensated, and it should be punished, the old man will definitely give Lord Luo and Dongshan Hou a satisfactory explanation, and please rest assured." ”
Su Qi'an nodded, and his eyes motioned to Luo Qingyuan to see if there were any other instructions.
Luo Qingyuan waved his hand and said, "Okay, the matter is almost settled, you can go, don't dangle in front of the old man, the old man is upset." ”
"I'll wait until I understand, and I'll quit."
Wang Tian arched his hand, and then quickly turned around and left with the descendants of the family.
This scene made the younger generations of the family stunned, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time, until a slap on them, accompanied by a burst of scolding, they came back to their senses.
"A bunch of useless waste, all of them are embarrassing here, don't get out of here! It's also the old man who has neglected to teach in the past few years, and when he goes back, one counts as one, and he can't run, at least fifty battles to serve, so that you can learn a long lesson! ”
"Don't, old patriarch."
A group of juniors begged for mercy, but in exchange for a more severe scolding.
Hearing the lesson that was gradually moving away, looking at the empty room, Su Qi'an couldn't help laughing.
This kind of contrasting change surprised Su Qi'an.
He got up and walked quickly to Luo Qingyuan's side, just wanted to ask, and took the handle of Wang Tianfang's three major families, at this time, Lin Yuanzhi and Zhou Qi walked in.
Lin Yuanzhi was okay, with a slight smile on his face, as if what happened in the side room was what he expected, Zhou Qi looked confused.
Outside the door, what he saw was that the three major families looked disgraced, which could make the three major families deflated, which was the first time he had seen it in his life.
"Mr. Luo, what happened just now, these guys ran away in such a mess?"
Luo Qingyuan stood up, stretched his waist, glanced at Lin Yuanzhi, pouted and said, "Harm, it's nothing, those garbage things, the old man can clean them up, it's as easy as a hand." ”
"It's been a long time since I've gone down the mountain, Xizhou has changed a lot, the old man is going to take a turn, as for what happened, let Lao Lin explain it to you."
After speaking, Luo Qingyuan yawned, and as he left, the mysterious Shadow Guards also left.
Zhou Qi looked stunned when he saw this scene, and as Luo Qing moved away, Lin Yuanzhi did not sell the guanzi, and told Su Qi'an and Zhou Qi about the cause and effect.
Luo Qingyuan was able to control the three major hermit families, relying on him to master the economic lifeline of the hermit family.
Although he has been in seclusion for more than 20 years, and his subordinates have long been dismissed, Luo Qingyuan has retained one.
That team of people infiltrated the local area and silently developed in Xizhou, and this development was more than 20 years.
They have a name, the black market.
It can be said that all the underground black markets in Xizhou, the person in charge behind the scenes is this Luo Qingyuan, who has been in seclusion for many years and does not ask about the world.
The existence of the black market, in addition to selling some prohibited things on the market, can also control the market premium.
Closing at a low price, selling at a high price, or closing at a high price and selling at a low price, these are all means for the black market to stabilize the economy of Xizhou.
As long as there is economic development, it is inseparable from the black market, and any family, big or small, in private, has some intersection with the black market.
It can be said that the existence of the black market is usually inconspicuous, but once it wants to disrupt the economy, the black market will play a considerable role in fueling the flames.
The black market has been developing for so many years, even if Tang Feng is in office, he can't say that he will sweep away the black market.
After all, he also has to rely on the black market to make profits, and sweeping away the black market is to shoot himself in the foot.
The meaning of the black market is quite the opposite of light, where there is white, there is black, if you want to extinguish the darkness and leave only the light, even Su Qi'an can't do it.
Black and white, yin and yang are harmonized, this is the law of development of all things, which cannot be violated, but can only be complied with.
