Chapter 44 The Emperor Is Completely Defeated
…
Emperor Longchang and Jiang Zhencang naturally wore disguises to make themselves look as much like ordinary old men as possible.
Especially Emperor Longchang, because he has a lot of experience in making troubles for many years, and naturally also has a lot of experience in makeup, his appearance now is quite different from usual.
Wang Ansong was stationed in Xinping Town all year round and had very few opportunities to meet Emperor Longchang, so he didn't recognize him for a while.
"Wang Ansong, that boy!"
These words made Emperor Longchang almost jump up.
What is a "troublemaker"? I am transforming into a "messenger of justice", checking for the Wang family's shortcomings and filling them in!
Besides, he had successfully run away a few times before, so how could he be caught by Wang Ansong? There was only one time when I was blocked and I was too embarrassed to tear up the space and reveal my identity...
Emperor Longchang was extremely angry, but for the sake of the "overall situation", he decided to endure it.
After successfully grabbing Wang Shouzhe's pigtails this time, and revealing his identity again, Wang Ansong will definitely be so frightened that his face will turn pale, and he will kowtow and beg for mercy like garlic.
And that kid Wang Shouzhe would be so frightened that he would break out in a cold sweat and admit his mistakes and shortcomings.
Emperor Longchang had already tasted this feeling of satisfaction from revealing his identity at the last moment. But on Wang's territory, his long-cherished wish has never been fulfilled.
It is precisely because of this that this seems to have become the obsession of Emperor Longchang.
It was obvious that he had successfully completed the routine in other counties over the years, and basically caught the strong men in those places accurately, but he felt that there was no sense of accomplishment, and it was more boring.
Indeed.
If you can't catch Wang Shouzhe's pigtails, even if you can catch the pigtails of many people, what sense of accomplishment will there be?
When he thought of this, Emperor Longchang immediately glared at Wang Ansong, who was blowing his beard and said: "Young man, I heard about the injustice, so I came out to take care of it. You Wang family can't be allowed to dominate the local area and bully men. Female?"
"Old man." Wang Ansong looked him up and down, frowning, "Xinping Town has a town hall. If anyone is suspected of violating laws and disciplines, they can go to the town hall to report and redress their grievances, instead of disrupting public order like you."
"Report? It's your Wang family that runs the town guard house. You, the Wang family, cover the sky with one hand. Is it useful to report your Wang Shouzhe?" Emperor Longchang said with a snort, "If we don't protect everything, you will even drag out the reporter and bury him."
"Old man, please don't mess around!" When Wang Ansong heard this, his expression suddenly turned ugly and his face was stained with anger, "My fourth old man has always been an upright man, and he abides by the law most of all. How can I allow you to be like this? Slander with red lips and white teeth?"
Within the Wang family, juniors like Wang Ansong have always respected Patriarch Shouzhe like a god.
The past that Wang Shouzhe led the Wang family to take off has become a legend to other aristocratic families. The younger generations of the Wang family grew up listening to his legend, and their respect and love for him are engraved in their bones. How can they Can he tolerate even a hint of slander from others?
Wang Ansong was naturally very angry and couldn't help but snorted coldly and said: "With such nonsense, this old thief must be a spy sent by the hostile forces! Come on, take him back and interrogate him properly."
"Yes, Commander Ansong."
A group of subordinates accepted the order with a roar, and immediately prepared to swarm forward and capture the hateful old thief.
"Wait!" Jiang Zhencang saw that something was wrong and said hurriedly, "Commander Ansong, please wait a moment. Why don't you listen to what the Zhao family has to say before making a decision. Maybe there is really something wrong with him."
Jiang Zhencang also felt that something was wrong with the situation.
"Commander." Zhuge Liangcai also whispered from the side, "There are too many people watching now. If we just take people back like this, even if we, the Wang family, are right, we won't be able to explain it clearly by then. My subordinates believe us. The Wang family is innocent internally, so why not ask clearly in public."
"That's alright." Wang Ansong nodded and said confidently, "In that case, let's make it clear to everyone. If you have any grievances, just tell them in public. If it is really our Wang family's fault, we will never default on the debt. "
Seeing Wang Ansong being so magnanimous, the onlookers burst into applause.
After all, it is the Wang family of Changning who is aboveboard in doing things and has an excellent reputation. If it were another family, they might not be so confident. After all, most aristocratic families rely on their privileges, and there will always be some injustice.
The development of things was so ups and downs that everyone in the Zhao family in the box was stunned.
They just went out to have a meal and casually murmured a few words about the current predicament at home. How could they have imagined that they would be involved in such a strange thing?
"Ahem~ I'm Zhao Mingzhi, the head of the Zhao family in Xia Tian Mansion. This is our Zhijing ancestor of the Zhao family." Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on his family, a middle-aged man with a calm face among the Zhao family stood out from the crowd. He came out, bowed to everyone, and said politely, "Although we don't understand what exactly happened... But now that it's over, there's nothing to hide."
After all, Zhao Mingzhi is the head of the family. He has interacted with people more and reacts faster than other people in the family.
He sighed and began to explain: "Our Tianfu Zhao family is a branch of the Daqian Zhao family. Due to various reasons in the past, our family fell into decline. Over the years, in order to restore the decline of the family, we looked for business opportunities everywhere. Later, we relied on Xi Qing The ancestor introduced Xiang, and we established some relationships with the Wang family, and using the family reputation as a guarantee, we undertook the sales business of the Wang family's iron pots in Tianfu County."
"This kind of business of 10 to 20 million gold is not a big deal for the Wang family, but it is a timely help for our Zhao family. If we can take this opportunity to show our ability, we may be able to contract more from the Wang family in the future. s project."
"But none of us expected that the dozens of iron pots we bought on credit would be detained by the Tianfu County Sheriff's Office under a clever pretext before they arrived at the family warehouse. Therefore, we wanted to come to the Wang Family to ask for a favor. We hope that Wang can allow us to postpone the repayment of this credit loan, and we will find a way to redeem the goods as soon as possible."
As Zhao Mingzhi spoke eloquently, everyone suddenly understood the reason for the matter.
"This iron pot business should be a project of the General Directorate of Weapon Refining, right?" Wang Ansong frowned and said, "I remember that the person in charge of this business now is my Aunt Yinglei."
"Commander Ansong is right. Boss Yinglei is indeed responsible. In fact, we are also very grateful to Boss Yinglei. If she hadn't been willing to give us credit, given our family's current situation, we would never have the capital to acquire that batch of goods. "Zhao Zhiming is already two or three hundred years old, and his cultivation is in the middle stage of the Heavenly Realm. He is still the head of a fifth-grade family, but his attitude towards Wang Ansong is quite respectful.
It's no wonder that Wang Ansong is only eighty years old and has reached the second level of Heavenly Realm. With such qualifications, he must be a genius. Such a precious talent, placed in the Zhao family of Tianfu, would be considered the Zifu species, and it would be the core of the family.
But in the Wang family, Wang Ansong is just an ordinary elite among the younger generation, and cannot be called the real core.
This shows how terrifying the Wang family’s background is.
On the surface, everyone is from a fifth-grade family, but the Wang family has only revealed the tip of the iceberg, leaving them beyond their reach.
"Since I, Mrs. Wang, are willing to give you credit, it is also a way of taking care of you. Why do you still want to slander me, Mrs. Wang? You even want to slander me, the Fourth Old Master." Wang Ansong said angrily,
Zhao Mingzhi's face tightened, and before he could speak, Emperor Longchang said first: "That's not because you, the Wang family, set up a trap for others. You gave them credit first, and then used your connections to get the Tianfu County Sheriff's Office to detain the Tianfu Zhao family's goods. The purpose is naturally to force the Zhao family of Tianfu to donate other girls. Tsk tsk, that boy Shouzhe must want to take a concubine. I am most familiar with this kind of routine. "
"?" Everyone looked at Emperor Longchang dumbfounded. These words seemed quite reasonable and reasonable. They were said so smoothly. Could it be that this old man knew this well?
While Emperor Longchang was feeling proud, Zhao Mingzhi said hurriedly: "This old man, don't make any wild guesses. When did we say that Wang used his connections to detain our goods?"
"Who else is not the Wang family?" Emperor Longchang said confidently, "Although Anguo Duke's position was wrong in this dispute between the emperor and his son, as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. In addition to the Wang family, there are also Who can influence the dignified Tianfu County Sheriff's Office to deal with the Tianfu Zhao family?"
This makes sense, even Jiang Zhencang and Wang Ansong frowned. Nowadays, among the Daqian families, there are almost no families that are qualified to deny Wang's face.
It is simply unbelievable that a legal project jointly carried out by the Changning Wang family and the Tianfu Zhao family would result in the goods being detained.
Could it be that the fourth old man is really restless and wants to contribute more to the family after taking a concubine?
No, this is the time for something to happen...
My fourth wife is not a vegetarian. Once trouble breaks out, it is best that the family does not fall into civil strife.
"Don't think too wildly, this is really not the matter of the Shouzhe family." Zhao Mingzhi said helplessly, "Although the Wang family is powerful, in our field, there are still two aristocratic families that can compete with the Wang family. "
"Impossible!" Emperor Longchang said firmly, "I can't find one."
"Not to mention the distance, the Daqian royal family is also an aristocratic family, so naturally they will not be afraid of the Wang family." Zhao Mingzhi said with a sneer.
"Royal family?" Emperor Longchang's heart skipped a beat, "Zhao Mingzhi, do you mean that the royal family is obstructing this?" If it wasn't impossible, the royal family had too many people, and there would always be a strong master.
"It's not the royal family." Zhao Mingzhi shook his head and said, "Now that the Changning Wang family is married to the royal family, the relationship is relatively close. I'm just giving you an example."
Emperor Longchang raised his eyebrows. Just when he was about to scold him for giving an example, he suddenly thought of something and said in disbelief: "Could it be... that it's the Jiang family of Tianfu?"
This seems to be the only explanation.
"Impossible!" Jiang Zhencang said with a cold look on his face, "The Jiang family of Tianfu can barely keep the title of fourth grade. After all, the momentum is weak, how can you dare to compete with the Wang family? Even the Zhao family who is keeping a low profile now won't dare to offend, right? "
"I'm afraid this old man has some misunderstanding." Zhao Mingzhi said coldly, "The Jiang family is not weak. After all, the statue of the current Saint Jiang is enshrined in his ancestral hall."
"I also asked Boss Yinglei, and I found out that the Jiang family of Tianfu had sent a shop owner to discuss the iron pot business. However, the other party's quotation was too low, and Boss Yinglei rejected the project."
"Boss Yinglei doesn't know at all that although the Tianfu Jiang family has no way to deal with the Wang family, he has the ability to block any collaborators with the Wang family in the three-acre land of Tianfu."
Jiang Zhencang's old face showed an incredulous look: "Impossible, impossible, I remember Jiang is still relatively low-key." He knew clearly that he had been disappointed with Jiang for a long time, and refused to see Jiang for a thousand or two thousand years any member.
"Originally it was relatively low-key." Zhao Mingzhi said, "But as the battle between the emperor and his son came to an end, there will be a battle for the saint and son in the future. Holy Master Jiang has made it clear that his reign will not last long, and it will only last a few hundred years. live."
"Now that the Jiang family has become active again, they naturally want to make as much money as they can before Holy Lord Jiang falls. Today, in Tianfu County, the Jiang family has caused a mess and there are many complaints, but the Jiang family has nothing to worry about. Who dares to challenge Holy Lord Jiang?"
"All the aristocratic families in Tianfu County are speculating that it was Saint Lord Jiang who had an enlightenment in his later years. He is preparing to lay a solid foundation for the Jiang family and enter the third-rank aristocratic family."
Jiang Zhencang staggered, his old face turning black and white.
He never expected that eating melon with Longchang would end up on his own head.
What does it mean to become enlightened in old age? Ready to make a fortune?
His reputation as Jiang Zhencang was ruined by a group of families who disappointed him extremely.
"Boy Zhao, are you sure it was Jiang who did this?" Emperor Longchang's old face was also embarrassed. He originally wanted to grab Wang Shouzhe's pigtails, but ended up grabbing his old friend Jiang Zhencang's head.
"How can we be unsure?" Zhao Mingzhi said angrily, "Even if our Tianfu Zhao family declines again, we still have some news channels of our own. This time I came to meet the head of the Shouzhe family, just hoping that we can be granted some grace for our accounts, and we also I really want to find a way to get this batch of goods. With our Zhao family’s ability and channels, without Jiang’s obstruction, we can easily sell these pots.”
He has a lot of grievances, and it is obvious that he has been bullied a lot by the Jiang family in recent decades.
"Old Jiang, what should I do?" Emperor Longchang's arrogance suddenly faltered, and he weakly said, "How about I ask that boy Shouzhe to help cover the lid?"
After all, they were old friends who had worked together for thousands of years, and Emperor Longchang still took good care of Jiang Zhencang.
"What are you covering?" Jiang Zhencang said angrily, "If Shouzhe is bullying others, you can hold on to him. Why are you giving up when it's the turn of an unrelated Jiang family? How to deal with it, how to deal with it, make them arrogant Suppress your arrogance."
"Okay, okay, in fact, I'm just competing with Shouzhe. I'm not really bullying Shouzhe." Emperor Longchang said a little aggrievedly, "You don't know, ever since the battle between the emperor and his son, that boy Shouzhe has been a big loser to me. How many tricks have you been tricked into? How many times have you slandered me? How many grievances have you made me suffer? I have to find some ground, right?"
"Forget it, let's withdraw first and discuss this later." Emperor Longchang saw that the atmosphere was not right and was about to leave in despair.
At this time, Wang Ansong said: "Fourth Old Master, you are finally here."
Immediately, Longchang shrank in fear. Wasn't Wang Shouzhe coming very quickly? Even if there are special means that can be notified quickly, there is no reason to come so quickly?
wrong!
I forgot one thing.
Wang Shouzhe's fellow brought back a multi-space anchor one-way teleportation array from the Blood Lord's ruins... How could Xinping Town, such an important economic place, not have a space anchor?
Misstep, misstep.
"Your Majesty, are you always here?" Wang Shouzhe looked at the sneaky Emperor Longchang, who looked like he had made a mistake and was about to run away, and greeted him with a smile, "Are you always doing private visits incognito again?"
It is said that Emperor Longchang did wear makeup, but his makeup skills were average, that is, he could hide it from people who were not familiar with him.
The great emperor stayed in Wang Shouzhe's yard whenever he had something to do. As long as there was nothing wrong, he would hang out in front of Wang Shouzhe's eyes every day.
In layman's terms, Longchang turned into ashes after death, and Wang Shouzhe could recognize him.
"His Majesty?"
There was a sudden silence on the scene. This bad old man who was full of wretchedness was actually the current His Majesty? This does not match the majestic aura of Longchang's reign, which makes people feel as if their idol has collapsed.
"See Your Majesty." Everyone in the Zhao family hurriedly bowed their hands and saluted.
By the way, the little girl Jun'er was very excited and said: "Your Majesty, Grandpa, please make the decision for our Zhao family."
"Well...I haven't been in charge of things for a long time. Let Shouzhe handle this matter. Shouzhe will handle it." Emperor Longchang glared at Wang Shouzhe fiercely, and wanted to find a hole to crawl into in embarrassment.
What is this thing called?
He obviously wanted to have fun, but he ended up being fucked by that boy Wang Shouzhe again.
Was it because Emperor Longchang had outstanding achievements in his life that even Heaven could not stand looking at this peerless emperor, so he specially sent Wang Shouzhe to slap him in the face?
"It really doesn't work. You can talk to Holy Master Jiang. Are you right, Old Jiang?" Emperor Longchang skillfully sold Jiang Zhencang, and then ran away while tearing apart the space in a flash.
He really had no shame in staying in this miserable place.
Holy Lord Jiang?
Everyone was struck by thunder again.
One bad old man was Emperor Longchang, but the other old man turned out to be the current Holy Lord Jiang Zhencang!
What is this thing called?
The only two Lingxu Realm bosses in Daqian actually paid a private visit here incognito.
The restaurant owner's legs felt weak for a while, but then he became excited. This was a great opportunity. He could change the name of the restaurant to [the restaurant where Emperor Longchang and Lord Jiang came in disguise]. Wouldn't it be famous then?
"Shouzhe, I'll leave this matter to you. Don't give me face for Mrs. Jiang, just do whatever you want." Jiang Zhencang's old face was hot. After saying a few words, he also tore apart the space and escaped.
Wang Shouzhe shook his head with a smile, and then saluted the Zhao family and said, "You have come all the way. Shouzhe has been busy in the Holy Land recently and has not been able to greet you. I apologize."
"Master Shouzhe, you're welcome, you're welcome." The Zhao family all returned the courtesy in a hurry.
"At this point, let's sit down and talk slowly. Don't worry, no matter what the outcome is, the debt you owe can be paid back slowly in installments. As for pledging your children as collateral, don't mention it again..."
"Yes, yes, everything is subject to the orders of Patriarch Shouzhe." The Zhao family was immediately overjoyed. They never expected that the outcome of the matter would be such a turn of events, and a bad thing would turn into a good thing.
Otherwise, with their current status, the Wang family would be able to send as many great elders as possible to entertain them.
Now, he has directly hooked up with the head of the Wang family.
The girl named Jun'er blinked and looked at Wang Shouzhe curiously, feeling excited in her heart. She, Zhao Yujun, would be as majestic as ancestor Shouzhe in the future.
…
Not long after the restaurant incident.
Zhuge Liangcai received a [Marrow Cleansing Pill] from the Wang family general, as well as a bunch of training materials.
These were personally rewarded by Wang Shouzhe, the head of the Wang family, in recognition of his active maintenance of the Wang family's reputation in key events. This incident was also regarded as a typical case and was widely publicized within the Wang family.
And at the same time.
Emperor Longchang, who was huddled in Liuxianju and didn't even dare to play cards, received a red armband from Wang Shouzhe with a few words written on it, Supervisor Wang.
"What does this mean?" Emperor Longchang looked confused.
"Your Majesty." Wang Ansong, who was responsible for giving out the red armbands, looked at Emperor Longchang with a confused expression, "My fourth old man said that if you want to supervise the Wang family, we will supervise openly and don't do it secretly anymore." It won’t sound good if you go out.”
"This red armband is your privilege. You can supervise anything and anyone within the Wang family."
Emperor Longchang's eyes lit up: "Is this similar to the Shang Fang sword I gave you?"
"That's right, in this way you can manage things openly." Wang Ansong answered honestly.
"Bah!" Emperor Longchang said with a look of disgust and annoyance, "What is my identity? What is the identity of Wang Shouzhe? Isn't this the king's land in the world? I am in my own country, and I still need Wang Shouzhe to give me the sword. ?I tell you, he is called arrogance~"
"That's fine. If Your Majesty doesn't want it, I'll leave it to the Fourth Old Master." Wang Ansong was about to put away the red armband and leave.
But unexpectedly, Emperor Longchang snatched the red armband away with one move: "I just scolded Wang Shouzhe a few words, who said I don't want it anymore?"
Then, he put on the red armband, held his head high and looked pleased with himself: "Speaking of which, Wang Shouzhe is quite sensible and gave me privileges. Boy Ansong, you have to do your duty honestly in the future. Don't Leave it to me..."
"Your Majesty." Wang Ansong interrupted with a strange look in his eyes, "You really haven't been caught by me?"
"What are you arresting? It's because I was extremely bored in my free time, so I went to the detention center of your patrol camp to pay a private visit incognito." Emperor Longchang said with a look of arrogance, "I went to understand the sentiments of the people."
Wang Ansong broke into a cold sweat. His memory was correct. He had indeed captured Emperor Longchang.
"Okay, you can go back and don't hinder my eyes here." Emperor Longchang waved his hand impatiently, "Since I can supervise the Wang family at any time, I am going to supervise and supervise in Shouzhe courtyard. I will meet your fourth wife by the way. Grandma is playing cards. Speaking of which, I haven’t played cards for a few days.”
Still playing cards?
Wang Ansong was speechless. He had heard that His Majesty had lost and was heavily in debt.
…
