Humane Yongchang

Chapter 121 The ever-changing
As if negotiated.

All the aristocratic families in Chen County pressed the silence button overnight!
on the street.

The tyrannical slaves who used to flaunt the market have disappeared!
The sons who led Huang Jicang in the past have gone into hiding!
Even the various vicious incidents that made the pavilion workers in various cities and towns exhausted, but they were still repeatedly banned, turned out to be greatly improved for a while!
But this kind of "improvement" made the people of Chen County even more depressed!
It was like a quiet moment before a storm.

It's calmer now!

The wind and showers behind are more violent!

But in the eyes of discerning people, the situation in Chen County seems to have reached a very strange balance point by accident.

The county government has integrated the family of Chenjun officials and officials headed by the Li family!
But they are very afraid of the Chenjun Wu family headed by Wangjiazhuang!
The big clan of the Chenjun Wu family headed by Wangjiazhuang was suppressed by the county government.

Naturally, their nerves were also tense, and no one dared to reveal their flaws again, giving the county government a chance...

The Chenjun officials and officials, headed by the county government and the Li family, have formed a unified opinion on the surface.

But secretly, they are also guarding against each other.

Not to mention.

Xiong's and Li's, the two first families in Chen County secretly and on the bright side, the game has never stopped under the table!
after all.

The Xiong Clan made it clear that he had been betting on Taiping Road with no reservations, and he was waiting for the Yellow Turban Army to enter Chen County, ride the wind, and restore the glory of the ancestors!
And although the Li family did not sing against the Xiong family, in the case of Lu Zheng's use of grain to divide the county government and the aristocratic families, the Li family has already revealed a more inclined position towards the state government.

Such a matter of life and death.

Even if Mr. Xiong promised Mr. Li that he would never settle accounts in the fall, Mrs. Li really dared to believe Mr. Xiong?

Even if Mrs. Li repented to Mrs. Xiong and promised that she would never have second thoughts in the future, Mrs. Xiong would really dare to believe Mrs. Li?

What's more, the current situation is unclear.

The family is used to betting on both sides and the way to protect themselves has been decided. It is impossible for Mrs. Li to make any guarantees to Mrs. Xiong on the matter of standing in line!
Of course, the way of life has been passed down by the great family for five or six hundred years.

Naturally, I will not fail to understand that this stall is now a time of mutual benefit and separation of two evils!
This is also the reason why both of the two families have grudges in their hearts, yet they can maintain harmony on the surface and strive to make each other.

But on the surface, there is peace on the surface, and what should be guarded against and restrained in the dark has not been pulled down by anyone!
When both sides invested a lot of strength to contain each other, naturally there was no more strength to completely clean up other swaying families.

For example, Wangjiazhuang.

Another example is the merchant Chen family.

Wang Xiong, the owner of Wangjiazhuang Village, is not stupid, he knows that his current situation is very delicate!
Xiong's and Li's have no spare energy to attack his Wangjiazhuang, he knows.

But he knew even more that Xiong and Li could not allow Wangjiazhuang to stay in Chen County.

Who called him Wangjiazhuang, he couldn't pee in the same pot with Xiong's and Li's?

I don't do it now, but it's just because the other warriors in the county haven't cleaned up yet, so I'm afraid they will get together!

When the Wu family in Chen County has been cleaned up, it is time for Xiong and Li to join forces to attack Wangjiazhuang... No matter who wins or loses Taipingdao or Dazhou, the war has already started. For big families and nobles like Xiong and Li, they are nothing but a big cake that can grow taller immediately after eating it. Who doesn't want to enjoy this cake alone?Even if you can't enjoy it alone, you can't let the trash fish take a big spoon, right?

Previously, Wang Jie brought his servants to the merchant Chen's house in a just and strutting manner. In fact, it was to turn the attention of the prefectural government on his Wangjiazhuang to the merchant Chen's house.

The five alliances headed by the merchant Chen family are second only to the Xiong, Li and Wangjiazhuang aristocratic aristocratic families in Chen County, and they are the second-tier aristocratic families in Chen County!
What's more, the merchant Chen family is the only big family among the many warrior families in Chen County other than Wangjiazhuang who forcibly rejected the county government's assignment of corvée!
This is the thorn in the eyes of the county government!
The reason why the county government hasn't cleaned up the merchant Chen's house, but it's just not free yet!
At that time, as long as the Chen family met Wang Ji.

whatever they talk about!
Even if Chen Sheng and Wang Jin just chatted a few words together, the prostitutes in the brothel in Chen County are more beautiful!

The county government will never tolerate the Chen family, a businessman!

Even if two front teeth are knocked out, they will clean up the businessman Chen's house as soon as possible!

After all, once Wangjiazhuang and the merchant Chen family reach an alliance again, Chen County's existing two powerhouses will be unified and secretly intriguing, and they will immediately become a tripartite!
The situation will become countless times more complicated!
That is definitely not what Xiong and Li want to see!
Fortunately.

Wang Xiong is smart.

But Chen Sheng is not stupid!

In the face of Wang Jiazhuang forcibly stuffing the yellow mud into his crotch, it is a disgusting conspiracy that is not shit.

On the spot, Chen Sheng chose to use the toughest and most ruthless method to forcibly break the game... and directly kill all the servants that Wang Qi brought!
This is tantamount to throwing Wang Jiazhuang's face to the ground and stomping on his feet in front of all the aristocratic families in Chen County, and finally spit out a mouthful of phlegm!
In this way, he told all the aristocratic families in Chen County... My business Chen family and his Wangjiazhuang are not the same!

If you change the time!

Wangjiazhuang immediately had to live with the merchant Chen family!

But this time.

Wangjiazhuang really dare not!
At this time, it is not endless to fight with the merchant Chen family.

That's the end of it all!

So this breath, Wang Jiazhuang has to swallow, but if he can't, he has to swallow!

And Chen Shengfang was captured and returned to avoid intensifying the contradiction and to control the contradiction within a controllable range.

at this point.

Chen Sheng knew that.

Wang Jin also knew it well.

That's why there was that conversation outside the gate of the businessman Chen's house at that time.

But his behavior, in the eyes of Xiong's and Li's, was a different look.

As the so-called dirty eyes look at the human base.

Under the current situation, Wangjiazhuang and the Chen family, who are both warriors, are natural allies!
Da Zhou may not have the idiom that lips die and teeth are cold, but the truth of this is understood by most aristocratic families.

Chen Sheng's attitude, of course, has clearly pointed out the attitude of the businessman Chen's unwillingness to wear the same pair of trousers as Wangjiazhuang.

But their position has also been decided, and it is absolutely impossible for the two of them to really turn their faces!

It is not impossible to shout and kill in the open face, and secretly collude to become an adulterer.

But in this case.

If they clean up the businessman Chen's house again, it is possible that they have cleared obstacles for themselves in advance.

It is also possible that he was consuming his own strength in vain to make wedding dresses for his opponent and Wangjiazhuang.

When normal people face this situation, naturally... let the bullets fly for a while!

This gap is the time Chen Sheng bought for himself!
As a result, this strange balance was formed within Chen County.

Everyone wants to strike first.

But no one dared to mess around.

I can't tell who to attack first!

So, everyone is so stubborn!

Let's see who can stand it first!

At the same time, they are also very clear in their hearts.

The current balance is very, very fragile.

A little bit of trouble can lead to a chaotic war!
……

Chen Sheng was relatively calm.

Time is on his side!
Every day, the Red Army that went out would return to build one more, and the strength at hand would naturally be stronger!
With each passing day, the information he has in hand becomes more comprehensive, and his grasp of the situation in Chen County becomes even more precise!
With each passing day, the arrangement he made was more rigorous, and there was one more path for him to choose!
It is different from the top-down information channels of Xiong, Li and Wangjiazhuang.

All the information channels of the merchant Chen family are in the middle and lower levels of the Chen County Pyramid Society.

The disadvantage is that there will be a certain lag in the information he can collect, especially the information about the senior officials of Chen Jun.

For example, Chen Sheng didn't hear any news about the county government forcibly apportioning the corvée.

Everyone from the county government came to the door. He didn't even know what was going on. He just felt that something was wrong.

In the end, he had to take the risk of inviting Chen Xi to come over to learn this information from his mouth.

The advantage is that once he investigates a certain matter, the information he can collect will be far more rigorous than Xiong and Li can imagine!

For example, the county government transferred all three thousand county soldiers into Chen County without telling the Li family, and stored them in the four urban areas.

Not only did Chen Sheng know, but he also knew where the three thousand soldiers were hoarding, who was in charge of them, and how their daily meals were delivered without the knowledge of the Li family.

For another example, Wang Jiazhuang played with the dark under the lights and hid all the men in the long house in Chen County, but he didn't expect that the Xiong family secretly placed family guards around the houses where they hid the men in the long house. control.

Not only did Chen Sheng know, but he also knew which of the family generals sent by the Xiong Clan had a good relationship with the Li Clan, and even knew that the Li Clan was conspiring to assassinate Wang Xiong's eldest son, Wang Xiao, to blame the Xiong Clan!

Although he does not leave home every day, under his air-conditioning education, the octopus in the Tiger Hall is playing the role it should play!
Everyone is secretly grinding their minions and waiting patiently.

Looking forward to the day that will be rock-shattering!
But the news they were waiting for never arrived.

Good news, bad news, neither!

It's like the Yellow Turban Army in Chenliu County and the fifty thousand soldiers of the Changyi Prefecture have committed procrastination at the same time!
……

The ninth of September.

Dozens of horses entered Chen County from the direction of Tuo County, secretly entered the Li Clan's land outside the northern city of Chen County, and did not leave overnight.

The next morning.

The county government brazenly mobilized three thousand county soldiers to surround the Li clan land.

As a last resort, the Li family handed over the young patriarch Li You and Xiong Wan as hostages.

The county government withdrew the soldiers from Qianwu County and returned to Chen County, but still left the soldiers from Qianwu County to block the land of the Li Clan!

The fragile balance has finally been broken...

……

At noon on the tenth day of the first month, when the three thousand soldiers of the county still surrounded the land of the Li clan.

Under the protection of Chen Dao, Chen Sheng appeared in an inconspicuous second courtyard in Chang'an Square.

Wang Jie, who was sitting in the courtyard and drinking in a rough disguise, saw Chen Sheng coming, his face changed greatly, and he got up and said, "Sheng, Sheng brother, why are you here?"

He hid here in secret for three days, and never stepped out of the gate for half a step. There were only two close old servants left beside him, so he didn't know how the news leaked.

What frightened him even more was that he didn't know what Chen Sheng meant by being here at the moment... He was hiding here in secret, and if he died here, no one would know!
Facing his questioning, Chen Sheng smiled and whistled.

Immediately, something flew in from outside the courtyard wall, and hit the courtyard with a "dong" sound. After landing, it bounced up and rolled a few steps, rolling out a long bloodstain...

But it was a bloody head.

Wang Jin took a closer look, his face turned bloody in an instant, and he said in a trembling voice: "Sheng, Sheng, Sheng brother, don't lose your mind, if there is something between our brothers, talk about it, talk about it!"

While he was talking, the two old servants who were serving him in the courtyard had already drawn out two long swords from the firewood stack, blocking Wang Qi's body as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

When Chen Dao saw this, the thumb of the hand holding the knife was about to draw the knife as soon as he picked the blade, but Chen Sheng gently pressed it back.

He smiled and shook his head slightly: "Brother Qi, we are friends after all, how could you be a guest next door to my house, but you don't even call me a greeting?"

Listening to his kind words, Wang Jin's pale face became slightly better, and he forced a smile: "It's for the sake of my brother, so I must invite brother Sheng to have a good banquet another day, if it's not... Sheng Brother, who is this person?"

He pointed to the bloody dead head on the ground and asked.

Obviously, if he doesn't understand this matter, he can't have a good conversation with Chen Sheng!
"He..."

Chen Sheng said softly, "I don't know either, but the day Brother Ji came here, he followed him and lived across from this room... Oh, yes, he seems to have the surname Xiong!"

Wang Yan heard the words, glanced at the dead head, and his face changed greatly again.

However, Chen Sheng was too lazy to watch his performance change his face, so he went straight to the short table where he was sitting and drinking, sat leisurely on the ground with two bright long swords pointed at him, and took an unclean wine bottle from the short table. , picked up the jug and poured wine: "Presumably Xiong Wan mobilized three thousand county soldiers to surround the Li clan's land, did you already know the news?"

Wang Jin frowned in an untraceable manner, and immediately said with a look of doubt: "Why did brother Sheng say such a thing? Why did the county governor mobilize the county soldiers to surround the Li clan's land?"

Chen Sheng tilted his head and glanced at him, smiled and shook his head, picked up the wine bottle in front of him and drank it: "Why did you deceive me? If I didn't know that when I was ugly this morning, the Li family sent someone to Wangjiazhuang, and you Wangjiazhuang Chenshi I once sent someone to see Brother Cao, why is this so?"

"Oh, right!"

After a pause, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at the dead head in the box, and said softly with a smile: "Although this person is surnamed Xiong, he is the death of Li's family. He had previously planned to poison his brother and put the blame on Xiong's family. Come on...here, this thing was found from him!"

He took out a small egg-sized pottery bottle from his arms and gently placed it on the short table.

Wang Yan looked at the dead head, looked at the small pottery bottle on the short table, and finally looked at Chen Sheng, his body suddenly shaking like a sieve of chaff.

He walked to the opposite of Chen Sheng step by step, raised the hem of his robe with trembling hands, and sat on his knees, "Brother Sheng wants to know what, even if you come, you know everything and say everything."

Chen Sheng looked at him for a few breaths, and then suddenly smiled: "Now, I really can't understand, why Lingtang would send Brother Cao to my business Chen's house... Compared with your brother, it's Wang Jiazhuang's next appointment. The best candidate for the owner!"

Wang Yanpi smiled and cracked his lips with a "Haha" smile.

Seeing this, Chen Sheng said sternly: "What I want to know is very simple. What kind of news was passed on by the state government to the Li family, and what are the conditions for the Li family, please help the Tang family!"

Wang Yan stared at Chen Sheng intently, his eyes widened and his face became more and more horrified.

As if looking at some monster!
　The situation is a bit unbearable, plus I am a bit lazy, I want to ask for leave but I don’t want to let go of my strength to keep on changing, so I can only grit my teeth and write this chapter hard, so the quality of this chapter is Maybe not so high, please forgive me, Fengyun will definitely adjust the state as soon as possible... Kneel!
