Chapter 122 Achievement! Covering the Sky with One Hand (Nearly 6,000)

…

Following Wang's motorcade, one by one entered Wengcheng.

The crowds and noises became louder and louder, especially those of traveling merchants and casual cultivators who came from afar. While they were shocked by the scene in front of them, they also spread the reputation of the Wang family.

The aristocratic family must have a deterrent effect, so that people can be in awe and not dare to use their brains at will. Firstly, it reduces unnecessary troubles. Secondly, the bigger the reputation, the easier it is to obtain benefits.

But at the same time, the family is maintaining its intimidating power. It also makes people unclear about the depth and the real details.

To put it simply, you need to establish your authority and make people think that you, Wang, are very powerful. At the same time, you need to remain mysterious so that people don't know how powerful you really are.

The mysteries and mysteries involved must be carefully considered and grasped.

It was precisely for this reason that under Wang Shouzhe's arrangement, the head of the mountain-eating python was placed on the roof of the first carriage. And that golden tiger head with a white forehead was "inadvertently" half-hidden and half-revealed from the car.

The Shuiyuan Spirit Turtle carried a large amount of prey and walked into the Wengcheng unhurriedly, raising the shock of the onlookers to an extreme.

After being shocked, he was in awe of Wang. Even the third level ferocious beasts can be subdued, and the rise of the Wang family is inevitable.

This is called parading through the streets to praise one's merits, laying the foundation for the Wang family to dominate Ping'an Town in the near future.

What is shown, what is not shown, and how it is shown. It was all the result of discussion and consideration by everyone in the Wang family, and it was not done blindly.

While everyone around him couldn't help but praise Wang, they also all turned the conversation to Wang Shouzhe, saying that he was a young clan leader, young and promising, with an unlimited future.

"elder brother!"

Wang Luomiao broke away from her mother's hand and flew over, her face rosy with excitement, her eyes full of pride and admiration for her brother.

The traveling merchants, casual cultivators, business representatives, and customs officers who blocked the road took the initiative to make way for a passage.

That was the Wang family's legitimate daughter--Wang Luomiao, the half-sister of the patriarch Wang Shouzhe, and her status was very high.

She jumped up with her short legs that hadn't grown yet.

Suddenly, Wang Shouzhe stretched out his arms, picked her up on the horse, and rode with her out of the Inner Urn City. He asked with a smile: "You little thing, I haven't seen you for more than a month, how come you are so cute again?"

"Brother, your mouth has become sweeter." Wang Luomiao said happily, "It's not in vain that my sister-in-law Ruolan and I wrote a letter to praise you."

"Uh...you actually wrote a letter to Miss Ruolan?" Wang Shouzhe said in a confused voice, "Can you use your ghostly calligraphy to make it work? Doesn't this suddenly reveal that I, the Wang family, lack cultural heritage? "

"Wang Shouzhe, you, you, you, you are bullying others too much, I will fight with you." Wang Luomiao was so angry that she bared her teeth and claws, "Thank you for helping me to make your sister-in-law happy, you have a lumpy head. Hum hum hum. , I originally wanted to show you my sister-in-law’s reply, but now, please, I won’t show it to you either.”

"I didn't want to read the private conversations between you girls."

"You, you, you, next time Sister Ruolan and I write, we will say that you are the big bad guy."

"Whatever, if I can't get a wife, I'll take you, my legitimate daughter, in exchange for my marriage."

Gongsun Hui, who was chasing after him, heard this scene and was a little dumbfounded but also a little relieved.

Shouzhe and Luo Miao had to do this every time they met, and Shouzhe was quite happy with it.

And Luo Miao was so angry every time that she almost died, then turned around and threw herself into her brother's arms.

The relationship between Shouzhe and Luo Miao is really good.

Later, Wang Shouzhe dismounted and thanked Gongsun Hui, Liu Ruolei and Liu Yuanrui. Then they followed the motorcade and headed towards the Wang family's main residence.

Many people followed to watch the excitement, and more and more people gathered together.

Zhouxuanguan Wengcheng, which was previously bustling with activity, was completely deserted in the blink of an eye. Only the Liu and Zhao clans were left, as well as some soldiers who were unable to leave because they were responsible for guarding the city.

Lei Yangqiu, the guard of Ping'an Town, saw this scene and couldn't help but sigh when he saw the snow falling heavier and heavier.

"This Ping'an Town has completely changed."

The faces of the young people of the Liu and Zhao families suddenly collapsed. Many of them were fragile and unable to bear the pressure, so they collapsed on the ground and started crying.

…

Wang's motorcade walked slowly.

The journey that originally took less than an hour and a half ended up taking two and a half hours.

Behind the team, there were no less than three to four thousand people following them. Looking down from a high position, it was really a large and huge group of people.

The Wang family's main house had already heard the news, and the clan members, servants, and maids who had stayed behind were already waiting outside the door. Because they were afraid of not having enough manpower, they specially summoned many people from the side departments to carry it.

"Shouzhe." Wang Shouxin came over, his face flushed with excitement.

The Wang family has been in decline for fifty years, and he, Wang Shouxin, has lived forty-three years. He has never seen the Wang family in such glory.

Immediately, he carefully advised: "Some powerful families, after returning from hunting in autumn and winter, will take out a small part of the prey, just ordinary ones, if a bumper harvest attracts onlookers. Then they will cook the meat on site and distribute it to those Poor people who cannot eat meat all year round.”

"At the same time, some powerful aristocratic families will also take out half of the ferocious beasts and sell them to local low-class families at a lower price to unite people and enhance their prestige. This tradition is called the 'Celebration Banquet'."

Of course, when Wang Shouxin was forty-three years old, the Wang family did not have the power or status to hold a "celebration banquet".

Every time when hunting in autumn and winter, Wang would go quietly and return dejectedly.

However, when Patriarch Zhou Xuan was still alive, he would hold a celebration banquet when the harvest was good.

As soon as this statement came out.

The eyes of several older tribesmen showed strong expectations. The Wang family has been in decline for fifty years, and now they have finally turned around. They also want to improve their family's sense of honor and increase their prestige in the territory they govern.

"Okay." Wang Shouzhe thought for a while and said, "I remember that there were still five or six ordinary bulls and wild pigs left, so I took out one of each, and the rest were pickled and refrigerated. In addition, some stocks in the family warehouse were raised All the meat will be taken out to hold a celebration banquet, and the warehouse will be freed up at the same time."

"By the way, let's build a few more porridge sheds and serve porridge once. There are too many people but not enough meat. I'm afraid there won't be enough food."

"As for selling ferocious beast meat at low prices, let's take the first-level green-hoofed bull. That one weighs three thousand kilograms, which is enough. Be careful to warn those unscrupulous families if they dare to sell spiritual meat at low prices. If you give it to a foot trader, don't blame me, Wang, for being ruthless."

The family's food warehouse is not small, but this harvest was so amazing that the ice cellar warehouse may not be enough.

And just for people like the Wang family, it is estimated that they can eat for two years if they open up.

"Okay." Wang Shouxin was very excited and led the crowd to do as promised.

When the people and some of the local Xuanwu family, who were not well-known, found out that the Wang family was preparing to hold a celebratory banquet, and the amount of ingredients they brought out was astonishing, they immediately became excited.

In the past few decades, the Liu and Zhao families have held celebration banquets in turn. But the scale is very small, and I am afraid that even the Wang family's celebration banquet this time will not be enough to make a profit, showing that they are the "top aristocratic family" in Ping'an Town.

To hold a celebration banquet, the clan leader Wang Shouzhe naturally does not need to come forward. Just leave it to the elders, the female relatives at home, and the younger brothers and sisters to take care of it.

At this time, Wang Shouzhe returned to the main house with Liu Ruolei and Liu Yuanrui, and immediately went to visit Ancestor Zhisheng.

Along with him, of course, were Ancestor Longyan and Ancestor Xiaohan.

This is the proper etiquette. After receiving the letter, Patriarch Zhisheng did not hesitate to come to help guard the Wang family's main residence.

This favor is no small thing.

The two sides exchanged pleasantries and politeness, and finally the ancestor of Zhi Sheng retired and said goodbye.

Naturally, Wang Shouzhe would not let Ancestor Zhisheng do his work in vain. Then a cart of spiritual meat and spiritual rice will be delivered directly to Shanyin Liu's house.

Wait until all matters are taken care of.

Wang Shouzhe finally settled down completely and relaxed, as if all his burdens were relieved at once.

Afterwards, he took a nice bath, told Wang Gui not to see anyone, didn't think about anything, and just lay in bed all day and night.

During this period of time, I was really tired from dealing with the Liu and Zhao families. The most important thing was that I was mentally tired and could not tolerate any mistakes.

But now, I am really relaxed.

…

Wang's celebration banquet was held very lively, and it seemed to have become the most lively celebration in the entire Ping'an Town.

The one that almost everyone talked about and mentioned in the topic was Ping An Wang.

The other two aristocratic families in Ping'an Town, the Ping'an Liu family and the Ping'an Zhao family, seemed to have been forgotten in the corner and no one mentioned them again.

It seems that there is only one Xuanwu family in the huge Ping'an Town - the Ping'an Wang family.

at this time.

A carriage with a large official's official residence parked at the door of the Wang family's main residence in a very low-key manner.

The first person to get off the carriage was an imposing middle-aged man wearing the uniform of the guardian envoy. This man was of course the guardian envoy Lei Yangqiu.

Then, two more old men in their seventies or eighties walked out of the carriage tremblingly.

The square in front of the Wang family was still bustling with people. There were people queuing up to eat porridge and meat, and there were also the local Xuanwu family, who were not well-off, using their hard money that they had saved for a long time to buy low-priced spiritual meat.

No normal person would miss such an opportunity.

However, Wang always knows how to handle things. There are quotas for the number of people in each family and the number of purchases.

People in the jurisdiction who enjoy the Qing Yu Banquet and eat porridge and meat must also have local household registration certificates and registration, so that you will not be allowed to eat it again and again.

If anyone dares to act recklessly, Wang's methods will naturally be unscrupulous.

But even though it was so strict, there were still many people queuing up after three days and nights.

"Tsk, tsk, the Wang family is indeed flourishing." The guard Lei Yangqiu praised with a smile, and then said to Wang Luoqiu who was dividing the meat, "Little sister Luoqiu, do you still remember me?"

Wang Luoqiu raised his head and glanced at him, and continued to register people. He divided the meat and porridge with his hands and feet, and said casually: "Remember, the one who was scolded and cried by my fourth brother seems to be named Lei or something..."

Lei Yangqiu looked embarrassed, and suddenly felt very tired. When had I ever been scolded and cried?

But I didn't want to argue with the little girl, so I immediately laughed and said, "This is a past thing that I can't bear to mention again. By the way, is your fourth brother here? I want to see him. Miss Luoqiu can help pass the news."

"Didn't you see that I was busy?" Wang Luoqiu replied impatiently, beckoned to a boy and said, "Junyan, go to Wang Guitong and tell the fourth brother that someone named Lei is looking for him. By the way, that's that one. Guardian envoy."

"Yes, Miss Six." Ouyang Junyan shrank his neck and hurriedly ran to do things.

He felt deeply in his heart that working with the Sixth Miss would mean that he would have a good reputation, and even the dignified guardian would have to wait for him.

soon!

…

In the main hall of Wang's front hall.

Wang Shouzhe and Lei Yangqiu sat face to face drinking tea and chatting from time to time.

Lei Yangqiu kept laughing heartily and echoed Wang Shouzhe's views, as if he were a subordinate facing the leader.

As for the two old men, who were in their seventies and eighties, they had their heads lowered, their hands hanging down together, standing tremblingly, as if waiting for the decision of fate.

These two old men are naturally the elders of the Liu and Zhao clans.

After three rounds of tea.

Lei Yangqiucai asked carefully: "Brother Shouzhe, Brother Yu, as the guardian of peace, there are some things that you just don't want to take care of. After all, there are so many eyes above staring at me. I just want to ask, brother Shouzhe How do you plan to deal with the remnants of the Liu and Zhao clans?"

"Dispose of it?" Wang Shouzhe said while drinking tea leisurely, "Envoy Lei Zhen was joking. I, the Wang family, are a traditional family that abides by the law. We have no right to dispose or dispose of other aristocratic families."

Lei Yangqiu knew that Wang Shouzhe was not easy to mess with, so he was somewhat mentally prepared, and immediately said: "Brother, let's make it clear that people don't tell secrets. Even fools probably know about the affairs of your Wang family and Liu Zhao family in the outside world. , but it’s a fait accompli and no one will pursue it.”

"However, there are some obvious things that need to be dealt with properly, so as not to blame the people on the top, which I can't bear."

"Guardian Lei, please don't talk nonsense about the nonsense in the outer and inner realms?" Wang Shouzhe drank tea, glanced at the two old men indifferently, and said loudly, "I'll say it again, our Wang family is a law-abiding family, and we have always Don’t do anything illegal or indisciplined.”

The two old men immediately trembled, and their whole bodies started to tremble.

Lei Yangqiu secretly murmured in his heart, it was indeed true. With your ability, Wang Shouzhe, you can probably kill everyone while abiding by the law. Of course, there is no need to risk doing anything illegal.

Lei Yangqiu smiled bitterly at Wang Shouzhe's lack of understanding: "Why not, I will come up with a solution. Brother Shouzhe, please listen to it first."

Wang Shouzhe was noncommittal.

"The situation is like this. Similar to what happened between your three clans, our Daqian Kingdom, even Longzuo County or Changning Guard are not without precedent. The usual traditional approach is that if one party is fighting in aristocratic families If Zhong finally gives up and escapes to another place, the other family will not be able to pursue them anymore." Lei Yangqiu said after considering it.

"Now the Liu and Zhao families are left with some old and weak women and children, as well as underage men. I don't think it's better than this. According to some precedents, all the property under their name will be recovered by the Wang family at a 50% discount. Then the Liu and Zhao families All the remnants of the clan used the money to flee to other counties and buy some fields to make a living. They also vowed never to return to Longzuo County."

After speaking, Lei Yangqiu carefully observed Wang Shouzhe's expression.

Unexpectedly, Wang Shouzhe remained silent at all and continued to drink tea, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

Lei Yangqiu was quite helpless, but as a guardian, it was his duty to get involved in this mess.

He immediately continued to persuade: "Look, Chief Royal, there are just some old and weak women and children on the left and right. Even if they can get a foothold in other counties, they are just a small and low-class family. I want to return to the ninth level in this life." It’s absolutely impossible for aristocratic families.”

"More than a hundred years later, I'm afraid no one in this family will remember the Wang family anymore!"

"And if you, the head of the royal family, want to kill all the old, weak, women and children, your clan's reputation will be bad if it spreads."

"Haha~" Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "Zhenzheng Lei always treats me as a bad person in his words, which is not advisable. Although I am very reluctant to let go of my old neighbor, if the Liu and Zhao families want to move, they can You can leave at any time, no one will stop you."

This Wang Shouzhe was really hard to talk about, and Lei Yangqiu was very tired.

If he hadn't kept the peace and had received a lot of benefits from the Liu and Zhao families, I really wouldn't want to come out and wade into this muddy water at this time.

In the current situation, without your consent, Wang Shouzhe, would they dare to sell the family property and run away?

There are many people in this big family, old and young, so are they not afraid that if they run around, they will encounter "mountain bandits and water bandits who rob the road", and in the end there will be no bones left?

"30% off. I'll make a decision for them. After all, they were the ones who made the mistake in the first place. I'll sell the assets to you Wang family at 30% off." Lei Yangqiu said, "If the head of the royal family gives you a warm word, it's okay. If not, I'll leave immediately." I won’t get involved in your bad things anymore. From now on, even if someone from the top is blamed, I won’t bother to get involved.”

After Wang Shouzhe hesitated for a moment, he felt that the suppression was almost done, and then he said calmly: "Since there is an envoy from Lei Zhen to speak out, I should give you a face."

Lei Yangqiu breathed a sigh of relief, thank you so much for your face. Without waiting for him to speak, Wang Shouzhe added, "But, I also have two conditions."

"Brother Shouzhe, please tell me and I'll try my best to mediate." Lei Yangqiu looked solemn.

"First, I, Wang, have the final say as to which county they move to. I will pay attention to the situation there at any time." Wang Shouzhe said.

Lei Yangqiu agreed without hesitation, "This is no problem, but the royal family chief will try to give them a way to survive and don't let them go to a county where they can't survive."

"Then let's take Liu's Lingbei County and Zhao's Monan County. They are only a few thousand miles away." Wang Shouzhe randomly assigned a place and said, "Secondly, men between the ages of twelve and sixty are young and strong temporarily. You have to stay. Five years of hard labor in my Wang family can be regarded as atonement for their ancestors."

Lei Yangqiu's face turned bitter, and he secretly thought that Wang Shouzhe was really ruthless.

Without those young men, it would be extra difficult for the Liu and Zhao families to establish themselves in such a distant and unfamiliar county, right? It is estimated that he will be targeted and bullied by the local family.

And after five years of hard labor, how can those young men still have any energy left in their hearts? How can we be competitive again?

It’s over!

The Liu and Zhao families are basically finished. In the future, they will at most be an ordinary Xuanwu family. Let alone a hundred years, even in seventy or eighty years, no one will remember the Wang family or Ping'an Town anymore.

The two clan elders, both in their seventies and eighties, also looked extremely embarrassed.

Wang Shouzhe's strategy eliminated the possibility of their making a comeback. He is planning to make the Liu and Zhao clans never reincarnate.

But if they don't agree, it is estimated that no one from the Liu and Zhao families will be able to leave Ping'an Town alive.

"That's all. The Liu and Zhao clans have a chance to survive, and we should thank the royal family leader." Lei Yangqiu concluded, closing the coffin, "Everything should be done according to the royal family leader's ideas."

He, Lei Yangqiu, was worthy of the dead Liu Zhide and Zhao Bojun. You can't offend the promising Wang Shouzhe for the sake of their two dead ancestors, right?

"Yes, Master Lei." Although the two clan elders were filled with desolation, it was not their turn to decide their own destiny at this time. At the same time, they also saluted Wang Shouzhe and said, "Thank you to the royal family leader for leaving a way to survive."

"In this case, I won't leave guard Lei Zhen to eat." Wang Shouzhe served tea and saw off the guests.

Lei Yangqiu then led the two remaining clan elders and held their hands with a smile: "Clan leader Nao Nao, farewell, farewell."

After they arrived at the entrance of the main hall, another word came from Wang Shouzhe: "Envoy Lei Zhen, before leaving, don't forget to take away their ninth-grade family seals. Some families are crowned by monkeys, and they will be given the opportunity." You can’t get on the stage.”

Lei Yangqiu was startled and hurriedly raised his hands: "That's right, that's right. Everything must be obeyed by the clan leader."

When Lei Yangqiu got on the carriage and watched the Ping An Wang family's door lintel go further and further away, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"After today, it is determined that the Wang family will cover the sky with one hand in Ping'an Town."

What Lei Yangqiu didn't know was that after they left.

Wang Shouzhe casually took out the system notebook and made serious changes in the reputation column.

[Family Prestige]: [Xiangwang (100) covers the sky with one hand]

…
