Zhou Qiang inevitably became the target of public criticism.

Both black and white are looking for trouble with Zhou Qiang.

Why?

It's not just because Zhou Qiang is 'Zhou Bancheng'.

is not only because Zhou Qiang is young and extraordinary, but also married Wang Yuyan and took away the Wang family's property.

The main reason is: Zhou Qiang's background is too low.

A few years ago, Zhou Qiang was just a mud leg, a farmer who was digging in the field, and he had almost nothing.

Once the Qing soldiers besieged the city, Zhou Qiang's family wealth increased several times.

After that, Zhou Qiang got up, out of control, and soared into the sky, if God helped.

In just a few years, Zhou Qiang has become 'Zhou Bancheng'.

If Zhou Qiang is a child of a family and has an extraordinary family background, that's it.

But Zhou Qiang is just a mud leg, why is he so powerful?

Isn't that foolishness?

How can there be such awesome people in Zishui County?

Everyone is unwilling to accept that an existence like Zhou Qiang is not like a human being, like a demon.

In short: Zishui County does not allow evil to exist.

Now that the demon has appeared, what should I do?

Together!

So, people in black and white all made a move on Zhou Qiang.

White means: setting up banquets, putting high hats on Zhou Qiang, fooling Zhou Qiang to jump into the pit, and so on.

One night.

Zhou Qiang was invited to the dinner.

There are some socials that can't be pushed away.

Zhou Qiang went.

"Boss Zhou is young and promising, and he is very high!"

"Boss Zhou's business is thriving, and the future is limitless!"

"Boss Zhou's wife and concubine are envious of others!"

"Looking at Zishui County, Boss Zhou is this!" Someone gave a thumbs up.

Flattering Zhou Qiang's words, sentence after sentence, will not stop.

The stars hold the moon, the dragon among people.

Zhou Qiang is the fighting chicken in a group of rookies.

Looking forward to it, it is majestic.

"You're welcome, you're welcome! Prizes, prizes! Zhou Qiang tried to deal with it as modestly as possible.

However, it seems that the expression on his face is not in control.

Let people take a closer look, pride, complacency, and no one in their eyes all appeared on Zhou Qiang's face.

The people at the wine table, while complimenting, discussed in their stomachs, "Sure enough, there is no hair on the mouth, and the work is not firm, just a few words of praise, I don't know what the surname is." Mud legs are mud legs, and there is no background. ”

A table, duplicitous people, non-stop false entertainment.

This practice seems to be quite popular, saying that it is 'high emotional intelligence' and the art of interpersonal communication. (This is just a one-sided statement.) ）

Three rounds of drinking.

A boss surnamed Niu, not tall, a little fat, middle-aged, with a sideways face, pulled Zhou Qiang and whispered: "I have a good deal here, I wonder if Boss Zhou is interested?" ”

Zhou Qiang pretended to be a little drunk, and patted Boss Niu on the shoulder, "Old Niu, what kind of business?" Say! ”

"Foreign goods." Boss Niu seemed to know that Zhou Qiang was selling foreign goods, so he said that the business of foreign goods, "I have a way, there are batches of smuggled foreign goods, and the price is cheap."

"What? So cheap? What a deal! Zhou Qiang seems to have been lured.

"Come, Boss Zhou, let's have another drink, I wish us a successful cooperation!" Boss Niu was happy, and said in his heart: "This fool has entered the hub." ”

Of course, Zhou Qiang is not a fool, he knows that Boss Niu has bad intentions.

After the banquet.

Zhou Qiang sent the sixth child to investigate the situation.

It didn't take much effort to figure out the real situation.

The sixth man is very neat, "The owner, there are more than ten boxes, which are filled with opium, and only one box is filled with foreign goods." ”

Obviously, Boss Niu set up a trap and wanted to kill Zhou Qiang.

So much opium, once it is stolen and seized, it will definitely be shot.

"Huh." Zhou Qiang sneered, "Since Boss Niu is looking for death, then I will take care of Boss Niu's good daughter." Sixth, you are like this, remember, you are planting blame, and people can't see that we reported it. ”

Boss Niu has a beautiful daughter, a college student in the provincial capital, beautiful as a flower, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has a poetry and book temperament. Zhou Qiang has met a few times, and he feels that he has an eye and can marry him as a concubine.

"Understood, I'll let Boss Lu's people report it and let them eat dogs." The sixth is very slippery.

It didn't take long.

Boss Niu's warehouse was seized.

Boss Niu couldn't escape the involvement, and the Niu family's mansion was surrounded by soldiers.

"What are you doing? I am a legitimate businessman and never do anything illegal. I know the provincial capital." Boss Niu is still very bullish, and he dares to let the guards block the soldiers, and he also says that he is a backer.

But it didn't work.

Opium is strictly forbidden.

Although it is sometimes overflowing, if you get caught, it is not a joke.

The leading captain didn't talk nonsense, he just let people go up, crackling, it was a cut.

Now, Boss Niu is honest.

"Sir, please take a step to speak." Boss Niu sighed in a low voice, wanting to give money.

However, Boss Niu thought too much.

That's opium, it's already making a big fuss, and there are a lot of onlookers.

At this time, if you want to stuff money, it's too late.

At this time, among the onlookers, one person came out.

The dress and appearance are very ordinary, but his eyes are blazing, and he has an indescribable temperament, which makes people dare not despise him.

The person who came was obviously Zhou Qiang.

The person who arrested Boss Niu was Zhou Qiang who knew Captain Zhang.

Zhou Qiang walked over and asked in a low voice, "Captain Zhang, what's wrong?" ”

"Seizure of large quantities of opium, capital offense." Captain Zhang is inconvenient to say more.

"I know that Boss Niu, I'll go over and say a few words to him, right?"

Captain Zhang hesitated, nodded and agreed.

"Boss Niu, what's the matter?

What's wrong with you?

Why is your nose blue and your face swollen?

What did you do?

Are we still doing business? Zhou Qiang smiled, a little gloating, and did not hide it.

"I was accidentally killed. But it's okay, don't worry, we'll continue to do business in a few days. "Boss Niu has sent someone to contact the backer, and I believe it will be released soon.

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Zhou Qiang smiled slightly.

Boss Niu was arrested.

Of course, it was not only Boss Niu who was arrested, but also helpers, guards, subordinates, etc., many people were arrested.

Boss Niu's house was also sealed, and the shop, farmland, etc., were all seized.

But the Niu family is not a single household.

Boss Niu has a lot of clansmen.

There is also a daughter Niu Yingying in the provincial capital.

There are also many people looking for connections outside and trying to get Boss Niu out.

Under normal circumstances, Boss Niu can come out. Just find a few scapegoats.

But this time it was Zhou Qiang who did the trouble.

How could you let Boss Niu let it out?

Evidence of the Niu family's crimes was constantly sent to the provincial capital.

The people of the Niu family were arrested one by one.

By the time the Niu family felt that something was wrong, it was already too late.

Most of the people in charge of the Niu family were arrested.

The property of the Niu family was also stolen.

The Niu family is finished.

Prison.

Zhou Qiang took Niu Yingying and came to see Boss Niu together.

Boss Niu has been beaten into a blood gourd.

"Dad, why are you like this?" Niu Yingying cried bitterly.

Boss Niu looked at Niu Yingying and didn't speak, looked at Zhou Qiang and asked, "Boss Zhou, did you bring Yingying here?" ”

Boss Niu is weak. He was beaten and bruised all over his body. If you don't heal, you won't live for a few days.

Zhou Qiang looked sympathetic, "Old Niu, didn't you say it's okay?" How did this happen? ”

"Alas," Boss Niu sighed, "It's hard to say." ”

"Dad, we tried our best, but we couldn't save you, woo, everyone in the family has been arrested.

If it weren't for Boss Zhou's help, I wouldn't have come in to see you, woo.

It was the Lu family who was hurting us behind our backs.

The eldest uncle, the second uncle, the eldest brother, and the younger brother were all arrested.

What can I do? ”

Niu Yingying cried and told everything.

"The Lu family harmed me? Why? Boss Niu looked confused. He didn't offend the Lu family, and he didn't have any grudges.

"I don't know." Niu Yingying is still crying.

Zhou Qiang kindly handed over a handkerchief.

"Thank you, Boss Zhou." Niu Yingying took it gratefully.

When Boss Niu saw this scene, a chill suddenly enveloped his body.

At this time, Boss Niu was also sober.

Didn't a similar scene just happen in the Wang family?

I just wanted to harm Zhou Qiang, but it didn't work, but the Niu family was finished.

There is only one daughter left, and she still has a good impression of Zhou Qiang.

Didn't the Wang family have only one Wang Yuyan left in the end?

The Niu family is left with Niu Yingying.

"It's Zhou Qiang, it's Zhou Qiang who harmed me!" Boss Niu shouted in his heart.

Zhou Qiang smiled at Boss Niu: "Old Niu, forgive me for being incompetent, I can't save you." ”

"It's okay, I deserve it." Boss Niu's voice trembled a little.

"Dad, these days, Boss Zhou has taken care of me." Niu Yingying said a few good words about Zhou Qiang.

Something happened to the Niu family, and Niu Yingying also actively tried to save Boss Niu, but there was no way.

At this moment, the kind-hearted Zhou Qiang appeared and helped Niu Yingying a lot.

Niu Yingying is very grateful to Zhou Qiang who sent charcoal in the snow.

The muscles on Boss Niu's face twitched a few times, and he looked at Zhou Qiang with difficulty, "Boss Zhou, I guess I can't get out, and the only thing I can't worry about is Yingying." Can you help me take care of her? ”

"Old Niu, don't worry, I'll take care of Yingying." Zhou Qiang solemnly agreed.

"Boss Zhou, I want to say a few words to Yingying alone."

"Okay, I'll go out first." Zhou Qiang walked away neatly, not worrying about anything else. Zhou Qiang also saw that Boss Niu was sober.

"Dad, what are you going to say?" Niu Yingying asked.

"I, I." Boss Niu opened his mouth, but still didn't tell Niu Yingying the truth, "Yingying, my family has a house in the provincial capital.

There is a peach tree in the yard.

The peach tree is due east, three meters, buried.

Don't tell anyone.

If you don't have a good time in the future, go to this house. "Boss Niu told a lot of things, but he didn't say anything bad about Zhou Qiang.

At this time, the guard came over and urged: "It's almost time, it's time to go." ”

Boss Niu finally said: "Don't believe anyone in the future." ”

"Dad, I'll come to see you again!" Niu Yingying reluctantly left.

There was no one around.

Boss Niu's face was distorted, and he wanted to scold Zhou Qiang loudly, but he didn't dare.

Outside, Zhou Qiang sent Niu Yingying to school.

Zhou Qiang is a patient hunter who is not in a hurry to pick the fruit.

It didn't take a few days.

Boss Niu and others were shot.

The Niu family's property was sold.

Zhou Qiang bought a large part.

The rest was divided among the others.

Niu Yingying couldn't accept Boss Niu's death, she was very depressed, and she was experiencing the darkest moment in her life.

At this time, Zhou Qiang was like a ray of sunshine, illuminating Niu Yingying.

Under Zhou Qiang's enthusiastic care, the two inevitably had some collisions.

Not long after, Niu Yingying married Zhou Qiang.

There are many conspiracies and plots from Bai Dao, all of which have been resolved by Zhou Qiang one by one.

The methods of the underworld: poisoning, assassination, finding bandits to sneak attack, etc.

Within a few months, Zhou Qiang was assassinated five or six times.

Each assassination, in the eyes of outsiders, is very dangerous.

But Zhou Qiang easily resolved it.

Not only that, Zhou Qiang also fought back, whoever assassinated him, he would send someone to assassinate him.

For a time, many powerful people died in Zishui County.

The bandits attacked Zhou Qiang several times halfway.

But it didn't work.

These bandits were either beaten to death by Zhou Qiang.

Or be beaten to death by the soldiers.

The people who sent bandits to attack Zhou Qiang were all sent by Zhou Qiang, pretending to be bandits.

A few times down.

A lot of 'powerful' people died.

Zishui County has reshuffled the cards.

Zhou Qiang grew again.

The means from black and white, if it were ordinary people, would have been pitted and killed a long time ago.

But Zhou Qiang is not an ordinary person.

No matter who it is, no matter what conspiracy is used, it can't help Zhou Qiang.

On the contrary, let Zhou Qiang get stronger and stronger.

It didn't take a few years.

The underworld in Zishui County was unified by Zhou Qiang.

The night in Zishui County belongs to Zhou Qiang.

There are no smoke houses in Zishui County.

Gray industries such as car and horse dealers and tooth shops were vigorously rectified by Zhou Qiang.

Kill a large number of people, and it can be considered a regular place.

The public order in Zishui County has greatly improved.

Baidao in Zishui County, Zhou Qiang became the county magistrate.

During the day in Zishui County, it also belongs to Zhou Qiang.

Originally, Zhou Qiang didn't want to be an official.

However, the means against Zhou Qiang, in the later stage, became the eldest brother of the county order, targeting Zhou Qiang.

"Boss Zhou, I took a fancy to your batch of goods, let's say, how much is it?" The eldest brother of the county magistrate He blatantly robbed.

"Talking about money hurts feelings, I'll send you." Zhou Qiang sent the goods over during the day, and let people transport them back at night.

But that's not the way to go.

The eldest brother of the county magistrate He kept bullying Zhou Qiang.

Not only that, but other people's 'uncles' also blackmailed Zhou Qiang.

In this case, Zhou Qiang can only choose to be an official, otherwise don't think about having a peaceful birthday.

So, Zhou Qiang got County Magistrate He down and took many people away.

Unconsciously, Zhou Qiang became the talker of Zishui County.

Zhou Qiang never thought that he would do so many things.

This is all forced step by step.

However, since he is a talker, Zhou Qiang does not do nothing, and the corpse is vegetarian.

Zhou Qiang wants to be a young and promising person.

And so.

A basket of regulations was introduced.

First of all, the common people will reduce taxes and abolish the poll tax.

Encourage farming, encourage ditching, and encourage everyone to work more and get more.

The ordinary people, who were overwhelmed by the poll tax, were finally able to take a breath.

Without the poll tax, the township covenants of each village became an ornament.

As a result, the township covenant was gone.

Tian Fuxian lost his job.

Lu Zilin lost his job.

However, they did not give up, but ran to Zhou Qiang's house to give gifts, wanting to ask for a 'red stick'.

But was ruthlessly rejected by Zhou Qiang.

Bai Jiaxuan was instead arranged to do a lot of things.

Secondly, the commercial aspect.

No more: don't allow this, don't allow that, you're wrong, I'm going to punish you, punish you! Make a relationship of opposites.

Rather: you can do this, you can do that, you can make it better, I can help you! It is no longer an antagonistic relationship, but a relationship of mutual help. (This is nonsense, a whimsical thing, and there is no need to take it seriously.) ）

The business atmosphere of Zishui County is very good.

Prosperity.

Zishui County prospered all of a sudden.

The business atmosphere is good.

There are more merchants.

Merchants from other places are also willing to come and do business.

When it is prosperous, it will be easier for ordinary people to make money.

Ordinary people make money easily, and it can also promote prosperity, forming a virtuous circle.

Zishui County prospered.

Zhou Qiang, a talker, is rich.

Zhou Qiang waved his hand.

Build schools.

Elementary schools, middle schools, and even universities, Zhou Qiang built.

In poor areas, primary schools are free of tuition and lunch is provided free of charge.

Build hospitals.

Regardless of Chinese and Western medicine, as long as you have real skills and can cure diseases, let me be a doctor.

In terms of fees, the rich charge more, and those who don't have money charge less, the difference is that the service is different.

Provide meticulous services to the wealthy, such as high-end wards, high-end nutritional medicines, and so on.

For those who have no money, only basic services are provided, and the principle is to cure the disease.

A lot of hospitals have been built, making it easier for ordinary people to see a doctor.

Mr. Leng's business has been affected, and it is not easy to do it.

The Faculty of Medicine was also established to train a large number of qualified medical staff.

In other aspects, roads, bridges, dams, canals, and everything we can do to solve the problem of relying on the sky for food.

Zhou Qiang has done a lot of things.

Mr. Zhu of Bailu Academy had to praise him for being "young and promising", wrote it himself, and asked Bai Jiaxuan to give it to Zhou Qiang.
