Chapter 118 The ever-changing(1/2)
It's like it was agreed upon.
All the aristocratic families in Chen County pressed the silence button overnight!
On the street.
The wealthy slaves who used to parade through the market have disappeared!
The young masters who used to lead others into hiding have gone into hiding!
Even the various vicious incidents that had previously made the pavilion workers in various cities exhausted but still continued to be prevented, suddenly improved greatly!
But this "improvement" makes everyone in Chen County feel even more depressed!
It's like the moment of calm before the storm.
It’s calmer now!
The storm behind becomes even more violent!
But in the eyes of a discerning person, the situation in Chen County seems to have reached a very strange balance point by mistake.
The county government integrated a family of Chenjun officials headed by the Li family!
But he is very afraid of the powerful Wu family of Chen County, headed by Wangjiazhuang!
The wealthy Chenjun Wu family, headed by Wangjiazhuang, was severely suppressed by the county government.
Naturally, everyone was nervous, and no one dared to expose any flaws and give the county government a chance...
Although the Chenjun officials and eunuchs headed by the county government and the Li family formed a unified opinion on the surface.
But secretly, they are also wary of each other.
Don’t say anything else.
The Xiong family and the Li family, the two No. 1 families in Chen County secretly and openly, have never stopped playing games behind the scenes!
after all.
Xiong made it clear that he had no reservations about betting on the Taiping Road, and was waiting for the Yellow Turban Army to take over Chen County, and take advantage of the Taiping Road to ride on the wind and restore the glory of their ancestors!
Although the Li family did not oppose the Xiong family, how could the Xiong family dare to trust the Li family without any reservation because Lu Zheng had used grain and fodder to divide the county government and the wealthy families in Chen County?
These are life-and-death matters.
Even if Mr. Xiong promised Mr. Li that he would never settle the score, would Mr. Li dare to believe Mr. Xiong?
Even if Ms. Li confesses to Ms. Xiong and promises that she will never have second thoughts, will Ms. Xiong dare to believe Ms. Li?
What's more, the current situation is unclear.
Mr. Li's attitude itself is wavering. It is impossible and he dare not make any guarantee to Mr. Xiong about taking sides!
Of course, a large family has inherited the way of life for five to six hundred years.
Naturally, you can’t help but understand that this stall is a situation where both parties will benefit from joining together and will suffer from two harms if they separate!
This is why both families clearly have a grudge against each other, but on the surface they can still maintain harmony and work together to achieve the same goal.
But on the surface, he is friendly on the surface, but secretly, no one has been able to guard against or restrain anyone!
With both sides investing a lot of power to contain the other, naturally they don't have much power left to completely clean up other wavering aristocratic families.
For example, Wangjiazhuang.
Another example is the Chen family, a businessman.
Wang Xiong, the owner of Wangjiazhuang, is not stupid. He knows that his current situation is very delicate!
Mr. Xiong and Mr. Li had no spare power to attack Wangjiazhuang, he knew that.
But he also knew that it was impossible for the Xiong family and the Li family to allow him to stay in Chen County in Wangjiazhuang.
Who calls him Wangjiazhuang? He can't pee in the same pot as Xiong and Li?
I'm not taking action now, but it's just because the other Wu family members in the county haven't cleaned up yet, and I'm afraid they might get together!
When will the Wu family in Chen County be cleaned up, it will be time for the Xiong family and the Li family to join forces to attack Wangjiazhuang... No matter who wins in Taiping Road or Dazhou, the war has started, for
For big aristocratic families like the Xiong family and the Li family, they are nothing more than a piece of cake that will make you grow taller immediately if you eat it. Who doesn’t want to have this cake to themselves? Even if they can’t have it to themselves,
Don't let the trash fish take away a big spoon, right?
Previously, Wang Qin was upright and went to the Chen family of Hongshang with his servants. In fact, the purpose was to divert the attention of the county government from his Wangjiazhuang to the Chen family of Hongshang.
The alliance of five families, headed by the Chen family, is second only to the Xiong family, Li family and Wangjiazhuang family in terms of military force in Chen County, ranking first among the second-tier families in Chen County!
More importantly, the Chen family of merchants was the only family among the many martial arts families in Chen County that forcibly refused the county government's showdown service!
He is a thorn in the side of the county government!
The reason why the county government has not dealt with the Chen family, a businessman, is because it has not yet freed up its hands!
At that time, as long as the Chen family met Wang Qin.
No matter what they talked about!
Even if Chen Sheng and Wang Qin just chatted for a few words together, the prostitutes in that brothel in Chen County were more beautiful!
The county government will never tolerate the Chen family, a businessman anymore!
Even if they knock out two front teeth, they will clean up the Chen family of Hongshang as soon as possible!
After all, once Wangjiazhuang forms an alliance with the merchant Chen family, Chen County's existing two powerful forces will unite openly and secretly, and the situation will immediately become a tripartite alliance!
The situation will suddenly 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 either!
In the face of Wangjiazhuang's disgusting plot to forcefully stuff yellow mud into his crotch, it was either feces or feces.
Chen Sheng chose to use the toughest and most powerful method on the spot to forcefully break the situation... directly killing all the servants Wang Qin brought with him!
This is tantamount to throwing Wangjiazhuang's face to the ground and stomping on it in front of all the wealthy families in Chen County, and spitting out thick phlegm at the end!
In this way, he told all the aristocratic families in Chen County... I, the merchant Chen family, and his Wangjiazhuang are not from the same family!
If it were another time!
Wangjiazhuang must fight to the death with the merchant Chen family immediately!
But this time.
Wangjiazhuang really doesn’t dare!
At this time, if you come to fight with the Chen family of Hongshang, it will not be a fight to the death.
That’s the same fate!
Therefore, if Wangjiazhuang can swallow this breath, he must swallow it; if he cannot swallow it, he must swallow it!
Chen Sheng let Wang Qin go back in order to avoid intensifying the conflict and to control the conflict within a controllable range.
at this point.
Chen Sheng knew it well.
Wang Qin also knew it well.
That's how the conversation took place outside the gate of Hongshang Chen's house.
But in the eyes of Mr. Xiong and Mr. Li, his behavior was completely different.
As the saying goes, look at people with dirty eyes.
Under the current situation, the Wang family and the Chen family, both members of the Wu family, are natural allies!
Dazhou may not have the idiom "lips die and teeth are cold", but the truth behind it is understood by most aristocratic families.
Chen Sheng's behavior has certainly made it clear that the Chen family, a businessman, does not want to wear the same pants as Wangjiazhuang.
But their stance has also been decided. It is absolutely impossible for the two families to really fall out!
It's not impossible that they might fight and kill in public, but they could hook up and commit adultery secretly.
In this situation.
If you clean up the Chen family of merchants, you may have cleared the obstacles for yourself in advance, or you may have wasted your strength to make wedding clothes for your opponents and Wangjiazhuang.
When normal people face this situation, they would naturally... let the bullets fly for a while longer!
This gap is the time Chen Sheng buys for himself!
Ever since, this strange balance has formed in Chen County.
Everyone wants to strike first.
But no one dared to make a move.
To be continued...
