The news that Li Muchen made in Baicaotang a few days ago has already spread among the upper class circles in the capital. Now everyone in the capital knows that the Li family from back then is back.
When the Li family comes back, the first person to be affected is the Wang family. One was number one back then, and the other is number one now. As the saying goes, a mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and a city cannot tolerate two kings.
When Wang Baishun heard the name "Li Muchen", his heart tightened and his brows furrowed.
"So, Li Muchen asked you to come?"
"No, I did it on my own initiative."
"Making your own decision?" Wang Baishun squinted at Hou Qigui, trying to read something from Hou Qigui's face, "Please tell me clearly, how did you meet Li Muchen, and what is your purpose today? You'd better tell the truth, don't
Treat me as a fool, Fourth Master, otherwise, these pair of sapphire lions and exquisite balls will not be able to save you."
Hou Qigui smiled slightly, not panicking at all:
"Back to Fourth Master, Mr. Li made a bet with the Bai family at Baicaotang last time. I happened to be at the scene and was fortunate to be a witness. Today, Mrs. Li came to Panjiayuan and came to my shop and said that Fourth Master, you are interested in
Her ring. But it was her wedding ring, so it was impossible to take it from her.
Let me think about it, Mr. Li has returned on behalf of the Li family, while Fourth Master, you represent the Wang family. One is the fierce dragon crossing the river, the return of the king, and the other is the leader of the capital and the current overlord. If the two of them rise up because of this little thing
The conflict hurt the harmony and was detrimental to both the Wang and Li families.
In the future, the Wang and Li families will always argue that instead of being at war with each other, it is better to be harmonious, make money, and seek common development. Let us, the little fish and shrimps who take care of us, avoid the disaster of being a fish in the pond, and have a better chance of eating a good meal.
This is my selfishness, which made Fourth Master laugh."
When Wang Baishun heard this, he suddenly burst out laughing.
"Hahaha, what a selfish thing! You Hou Qigui..." He pointed at Hou Qigui with his finger, "You are not simple! Why didn't I notice it before?"
Wang Baishun looked at Hou Qigui with admiration.
If it was really his own idea as Hou Qigui said, then it was really a good thing.
Wang Baishun didn't know Lin Manqing's identity. Although he could see that this woman must have an unusual background, no matter how extraordinary, he would not put her in the eyes of Fourth Master Wang.
But he never thought about Li Muchen's wife.
He had already heard about Li Muchen's deeds in the south for half a year.
In just half a year, he transformed from a penniless waiter in a small restaurant to a millionaire with a net worth of hundreds of billions, and was supported by top wealthy families including the Qian family of Qiantang, the Gao family, the Xu family of Jiangdong, and the Chen family of Shenzhou. This man
It has already aroused the vigilance of the four major families in the capital.
The key is that he is also a newly promoted martial arts master in Nanjiang. It is said that he defeated the Japanese Ninja Master in one fell swoop in the martial arts competition, which made the entire Chinese martial arts community look bad.
It is precisely because of this that the four Jingmen families gathered together for a meeting to discuss how to deal with the Li family's re-emergence, but in the end they did not come up with a solution.
To some extent, Wang Baishun has to thank Hou Qigui.
If it weren't for Hou Qigui, he would definitely not let Lin Manqing go today, which would be like offending Li Muchen to death. In this way, the Wang and Li families have become mortal enemies, and reconciliation is impossible.
Although the Wang family is not afraid of one Li Muchen, the Wang family is afraid that the other three families will benefit.
Today's four major families all have their own agendas, and they all want others to start a war with those named Li, but no one is willing to rush to the front. This is also the reason why the last meeting was hastily ended.
If the Wang family and Li Muchen go to war over a ring, then Wang Baishun will probably be scolded to death by the elders of the clan when he goes back.
The most important thing is that Li Muchen is a martial arts master! The Wang family has a master in charge, but he, Wang Baishun, does not have a master bodyguard.
Mrs. Li was angry and went back to cry. Li Muchen became so angry that he came over to kill him, tore off his head and used it as a chamber pot. Who could he ask to reason?
That's why Wang Baishun felt that Hou Qigui had really done a good thing.
But in this case, Wang Baishun can no longer give the pair of lions sent by Hou Qigui as a birthday gift to Master Qin, because these things have become a witness and token of the relationship between the Wang and Li families.
He must take it back to his elder brother Wang Baichuan and tell him what happened today. His elder brother will decide whether to accept it or not.
Accepting it means accepting the return of the Li family, at least temporarily, and cooperating with Li Muchen.
If you don't accept it, it means that the Wang family is ready and will not allow Li Muchen to use the banner of the Li family to erode the interests of the big families in the capital. Then the Wang and Li families will have to fight.
"Boss Hou, you did the right thing today." Wang Baishun moved the rosewood box containing the jade lion in front of him, "I will accept this thing first. No matter what the result is, Fourth Master, I will never let you suffer.
of."
Hou Qigui said with a smile: "Fourth Master is indeed the prime minister's measure, so I would like to thank Fourth Master."
"Hahaha," Wang Baishun smiled, "You are courageous and good at talking. You are a piece of material. Oh, you are covered in dust. I should have discovered you earlier. I am afraid it is too late now. It seems that you have already
I followed Mr. Li. But I still have to ask, are you interested in following me, Fourth Master? Don’t worry, whatever conditions Mr. Li promises you, I will only give you a little more."
"Fourth Master is joking, I am nothing in the rough. When I was young, I still had the strength to serve you front and back. Now that I am older, I just want to live a stable life. I don't have this blessing.
It won't be a big deal. If anything happens to Fourth Master in the future, just give him your orders. I, Hou Qigui, will be in Panjiayuan for a day. Your words, Fourth Master, are my imperial edict."
Hou Qigui spoke neither condescendingly nor condescendingly. He rejected Wang Baishun and flattered him so much that he made Wang Baishun feel so comfortable that he couldn't get angry.
"Okay, okay, who told me to be a step too late?" Wang Baishun raised his hand to Hou Qigui, "I might have to call you Lord Hou in the future!"
"Don't dare!" Hou Qigui quickly returned the courtesy, "Fourth Master has promoted me!"
While they were talking, Rong Guangjie was left alone and felt very unhappy.
Fourth Master Wang is from the Wang family, and even his godfather Qin Ye has to give him some face. But who is Hou Qigui? There are five people sitting there. Fourth Master praised him a few words, and he really
Have you become an onion and become equal to them?
Rong Guangjie also heard about Li Muchen, but he was from the Ce family. Unlike the wealthy family, he did not care as much as the Wang family, so he didn't know much about Li Muchen's deeds in the south. He only heard that he was in Baicao Hall this time.
I won the bet with the Bai family.
He didn't think Li Muchen was that powerful. Didn't he earn a net worth of hundreds of billions just by becoming the son-in-law of a wealthy family in the south?
But just because you want to come to the capital to stir up trouble, you are still far from it!
Rong Guangjie was young and had no idea about the Li family back then. He heard that it was once the first aristocratic family. But he dismissed it. Why did the first aristocratic family disappear? Was it a flood or an earthquake?
For a big family to just disappear, in the eyes of young people, this is simply illogical and nonsense.
"Fourth Master, please be careful. If you show your courtesy for nothing, you will be raped or stolen. Have you ever seen a weasel paying New Year greetings to a chicken?" Rong Guangjie said without hesitation.
Wang Baishun knew that Rong Guangjie was unhappy because he couldn't get the pair of lions, so he laughed and was about to change the topic and let this go.
Suddenly I heard Hou Qigui say: "Master Rong, you are a noble man, and you have a golden tongue, but you don't curse like this. It's okay if you call me a skunk, but you can't call the fourth master a chicken!"
As soon as he said these words, Wang Baishun's face darkened instantly.
