Chapter 24 The Eve of the Storm
Chapter 24: Eve of the Storm
In fact, Tang Feng's plan still has flaws, that is, with the power of the Wang family, he wants the other party to be completely kept in the dark and follow his own strategies. Even if there is no one from them in the county government, who can guarantee that the matter will not be leaked? Once the Wang family knows Tang Feng's method, there will inevitably be a way to deal with it.
But this time, even God was helping Tang Feng, because the Wang family had not focused on Tang Feng recently, and they were busy redistributing power. The first thing Wang Degong had to do after gaining control of the entire Wang family was to put his own people in various important places, so that he could truly become a person involved in the Wang family. Even if Wang Wenzheng came to his senses in the future, he could no longer change all this. Therefore, the Wang family and the shops outside were only concerned about protecting their own interests. As for other things, we can talk about them.
Until this time, Wang Degong did not really regard Tang Feng as a rival, and in his opinion, the people of the Liu family would not dare to offend the Wang family. Even if they did not dare to withdraw from the marriage because of Tang Feng's identity, they would only drag them without offending them. And he could think of ways to deal with them after completing all the family's affairs. In this way, he relaxed his vigilance and knew nothing about Tang Feng's actions.
Of course, Tang Feng did not dare to underestimate the Wang family. Since he had planned to use this incident to attack the Wang family, he had to make full preparations, such as sending people to protect the Liu family's grain shop. Hu Lie was the person Tang Feng trusted the most in addition to understanding the doubts, so he handed over this task to the captain, allowing him to arrange some yamen runners to protect the Liu family during this period. Although Hu Lie did not know Tang Feng's true thoughts, he still took the order. In addition to respecting Tang Feng's identity, he was also a person who was very disdainful of what the Wang family did.
After arranging all this, Tang Feng still did daily things in the county government, either approving official documents, responding to the orders of the superiors, or experiencing the people's sentiments. The people gradually became respectful to the young county magistrate and felt that he was different from all the previous county magistrates. In addition to respect, there was a hint of pity in their eyes when they saw Tang Feng, because they had known about his robbing Miss Liu family with the Wang family. In their eyes, this young county magistrate was probably difficult to compare with the powerful Wang family.
After enduring for a few days, he finally spoke: "Young Master, now there are people everywhere in the county saying that Miss Liu will marry the third son of the Wang family. Why are you not nervous? You have finally fallen in love with such a person. Don't retreat because of the power of the Wang family in She County."
Tang Feng smiled: "When did I say I want to retreat? I once remembered someone said that you can make concessions in anything in this world, but this woman can't make concessions. I agree with him very much, and of course I won't retreat."
"Why didn't the young master go to the Liu family to talk about it? You must know that the Wang family is in She County, but everyone is afraid of it. Otherwise, my master, let me go to the Wang family and kill Wang Dedao, so that Miss Liu will not be able to marry into their Wang family." As he explained the problem, he raised the old story again.
Tang Feng looked at him angrily, really couldn't figure out why he, a young man, had such a strong murderous aura, but he knew that he was just saying this for himself and it was hard to blame him, so he just shook his head and said, "Things are not as simple as you think. There are many things in this world that cannot be solved by force alone. We also need to think of countermeasures."
However, he disagreed with this. In his mind, as long as the other party is a human, there is no difficulty that he cannot solve because he firmly believes in his martial arts. But since Tang Feng said that, he had to continue to endure it.
In addition to understanding the doubts, there is another person who is also full of anxiety. This person is Liu Hui, who is on the attic of the Liu family and is about to become Tang Feng's wife, and the key to this matter.
After Tang Feng sent her back that day, she had this handsome scholar with a bit of heroism in her heart. It was just because of her daughter's reserve that she dared not say anything to Tang Feng. Then there was her father's anger and the ridicule of others in the county. At that time, she wanted to die.
But when she thought she was about to express her innocence by death, a news that made her excited came from the maids, that was the young master who saved her, who came to propose marriage, and he was also the county magistrate of She County, which made Liu Hui really happy for a while. Although she only met the young master named Tang, and it was so embarrassing to meet twice, she already had his shadow in her heart. Moreover, her body had been carried by this strange young master, and she had also put on a robe with his breath. I am afraid that the only way out would be for the child to marry him.
Just when Liu Hui was waiting for the day of marriage and became Tang Feng's wife, the maids brought another news that shocked her. Someone came to propose marriage again, and it was a marriage for the third young master of the Wang family. She used to know that her father had gone to the Wang family several times to propose marriage for her, and she also knew that the third young master of the Wang family was very handsome and good-mate, but now she didn't want to marry the third young master of the Wang family. It was not because she heard that his appearance had been destroyed, but because she knew that the only man who rescued herself from the water on a moonlit night and put on clothes for herself.
But Liu Hui also knew that no matter what her intention was, the decision was still in the hands of her father. If he thought that the Wang family was better, then her children would have a way to marry into the Wang family. So after knowing this, she was more nervous than when she didn't know what to do last time, and even couldn't eat or sleep for a few days.
Seeing her daughter's increasingly thin face, Liu secretly told her daughter about Liu Jin's decision. Of course, the mother knew her daughter's thoughts. She had asked her about her feelings before, so she told her about this to calm her heart.
After Liu Hui knew her father's decision, she finally felt relieved, but then she began to worry about whether her future husband would be the opponent of the Wang family. Although Liu Hui rarely goes out of the family, it does not mean that she does not know the situation of the Wang family in She County. After all, his father is also a person with a relationship with the Wang family. When Tang Feng would fight with the Wang family for herself, she was both happy and worried. Unfortunately, she can only listen to some news now, but has no effect on the development of the matter. This is the first time Liu Hui feels that she is useless.
Just as Liu Hui was reading a book in her boudoir, her maid Qing'er said to her, "Miss, come by the window and take a look." She looked over in confusion and found that several big men in cloth were scattered outside her shop. Perhaps these people seemed very ordinary from the bottom, but when they looked upstairs, they would find that these people were spread downstairs in their own house. This surprised Liu Hui. She couldn't recognize that the person below was a yamen runner and constable sent from the yamen to protect the safety of their family.
Qing'er was also worried and said, "Miss, do you think these people were sent by the Wang family? What should we do?" Liu Hui thought about it and said, "Then you go and tell the master quickly and ask him to find a way to notify Tang... Lord."
Qing'er thought that this was the only way, so she went downstairs to find Liu Jin. Liu Jin was also shocked when she heard this, but when he walked outside to see, he recognized the identities of these people. He had met a few of these people when he went to the county government a few days ago, but he had not forgotten it. After he felt at ease, he began to admire Tang Feng for thinking about it again. He was indeed a little negligent. If these people were sent by the Wang family, I was afraid that his family would be in trouble this time.
After knowing the identities of these people, Liu Hui also calmed down. At the same time, all her previous worries were relieved a little, because she saw from this action that Tang Feng was not a person without helpers.
Tang Feng, who was in the yamen at this time, certainly did not know that the arrangement he made would greatly increase Liu Hui's confidence in him. Now he was still thinking about how he should act and protect himself after defeating the Wang family this time. Because Tang Feng knew that although this marriage would have a certain impact on the Wang family's momentum, it would be difficult to shake their roots. The Wang family, with deep roots, is indeed not something he can deal with. Moreover, Tang Feng has not yet remembered who they are in the court.
, he could not ask the superiors. Tang Feng calculated that the eunuch party had not really controlled the court at this time, so the world is still in the hands of the Donglin Party. And if the Wang family had their own people in the court, then who would he be? The Donglin Party has always been positive in historical records. When would there be such a person who indulged his family to do evil? Of course, Tang Feng also knew that historical records were not accurate, but it was still difficult for him to associate the decent Donglin Party with the Wang family who bullied others.
After thinking for a long time but having no idea, Tang Feng decided to put it aside. He wanted to deal with the Wang family for the people of She County, and had nothing to do with the forces represented behind them.
Tang Feng was actively thinking about solutions, while the Wang family was changing the distribution of power in the family. The days passed day by day, and it looked very calm. Until that day, the news spread throughout She County...
