Chapter 293 Waiting for the Right Moment
While Lu Desheng was reading the letter, Lu Songli told the clerk beside him, "Go and ask Mr. Xue to come over."
The county government office that had been converted into a county governor's mansion was still small, and the offices were not far from each other. It didn't take long for Xue Xu to arrive.
"Hello, Mr. Lu." Xue Xu said hello to Lu Desheng first, then turned to Lu Songli, "Mrs. Qin Liu, are you looking for me?"
"Read this letter."
"good."
Ji Wuyin's subordinates only checked the situation of the Xie family members who died after arriving in the Southland. This is what the letter said.
Xue Xu quickly finished reading the letter, "Mrs. Qin Liu, as you guessed, Xie Zhan must have transferred some of the young talents from the clan to turn light into darkness."
When Lu Desheng heard this, his eyes widened.
The last time Ji Wuyin arrived in Houcheng, Lu Desheng was not there, so he didn't know about it. When he read the letter just now, he just clicked his tongue twice and lamented that so many people of the Xie family had died after arriving in the south. The famous fruit of the misty land in the south. True to form. I didn’t think much about anything else.
Listening to them talking at this time, he couldn't help but say, "This Xie Zhan is really treacherous!"
"Dad, Mr. Xue, I suspect that the Xie family has a hidden force." Lu Songli told them her guess.
Xie Zhan should have arrangements for the group of people he sent out, and there should be soil suitable for their development. Otherwise, it would be too wasteful for them to work hard from the bottom up. After all, those sent out were all the elites of the Xie family.
Xue Xu touched his mustache and said, "The Xie family has a great family and a great business. Your guess is entirely possible."
Lu Desheng's eyes widened, "This Xie family is really a cockroach that cannot be killed!"
Lu Songli thinks this is normal. As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The Xie family has been operating for generations, unlike the Qin family. People continue to die in the north from generation to generation, and the population cannot reproduce. . The talent resources accumulated by the Xie family are beyond imagination, and it is not surprising that they have hidden strength.
Lu Desheng said, "But then again, this Xie Zhan is really smart."
Lu Songli: "The Xie clan has many people. Xie Zhan can send people out, and then turn from light to darkness, serving the Xie clan in the dark and supporting the family."
They can't use this method. The population base of the Qin and Lu families is too small.
Moreover, these people will definitely change their appearance after going out. The most basic thing is to change their name, which means giving up their original identity.
The Qin family has always thought about making meritorious deeds and returning to Chang'an. No one thought about giving up their identity, and no one thought about rebelling.
Even with the idea of not putting all eggs in the same basket, and the idea of leaving some incense for the Qin family, it is not easy to select a few Qin family members to escape.
The officers who escorted them at that time, as well as the Yang Wei Escort, were willing to provide certain conveniences on the way to exile, but it was impossible to join them and take the risk of beheading.
Once this matter is found out, it will really be a big deal.
"Ah Li, do you think it's possible that Xie Zhan sent out more people than this? Also, is it possible that he started while he was in exile? In this case, it would not be easy to attract attention." Lu Desheng felt that Xie Zhan was so treacherous. , it is not impossible, after all, many people from the Xie and Zhao families died in exile.
Lu Songli understood that on the road to exile, it was indeed best to keep people hidden.
However, Lu Songli felt that there was little meaning in discussing this, "Dad, in fact, we just know that a group of people were sent out by Xie Zhan. It is meaningless to explore the number."
Lu Desheng thought about it, after all, it was impossible for them to pick out the people one by one.
Lu Songli reminded, "Dad, Mr. Xue, among the three worlds of military, government and business, the group of people sent by Xie Zhan are most likely to join the two worlds." After all, it is really important for an official to be clean. The requirements of the military and businessmen are not that high.
Lu Desheng and Xue Xu looked at each other and agreed with her analysis, "We should pay more attention to these two aspects in the future."
Or else, your enemy is the one who knows you best?
If Xie Zhan had not used the power of the Chen family to send out these first batch of people after the marriage, Lu Songli would not have noticed the hidden power of the Xie family, at least not so quickly.
But Xie Zhan also has his own considerations, so this question has no solution.
"Dad, Mr. Xue, there is going to be chaos in the Southland. We must be prepared." Lu Songli said in a surprising way.
"This - how can you see it?" At present, the Southland is just suffering from a flood. The imperial court will definitely provide relief. Isn't it going to be chaos? Lu Desheng still has some confidence in the court.
Xue Xu was thinking.
Lu Songli: "Due to the floods, the situation in the south is delicate. Xie Zhan will not miss this opportunity."
If she were Xie Zhan, she would definitely not miss this opportunity and would definitely take advantage of it to stir up trouble. He now has this ability with the help of the Chen family, and the Chen family also has the same intention, so they hit it off immediately.
"Is Xie Zhan so capable?" Isn't he still relying on others now?
"Dad, you can't underestimate him."
Lu Songli learned from the news sent from the south that Chen Jiaye had handed over part of the Chen family's core business to Xie Zhan for management.
In other words, Xie Zhan has gained the complete trust of the Chen family.
After hearing Lu Songli's analysis, Lu Desheng and Xue Xu felt that Xie Zhan was really awesome, able to gain Chen Jiaye's complete trust in such a short period of time.
“Mr.
Xue Xu pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go with the former."
Lv Songli also thought it was the former. If it was the latter, they couldn't have heard nothing. What kind of merit was it? Lu Songli felt that it must involve huge interests. Otherwise, even the Chen family would not have kept silent.
Forget it, I can't figure it out, so I'll leave it alone.
"Ali, you said that the Southland will be in chaos. To what extent will it be in chaos? What preparations should we make?" Lu Desheng asked.
She had speculated before that the pattern of the six major families in the Southland has existed for too long. If the Xie and Zhao families want to occupy a place in the Southland, they must break the existing pattern before they have a chance.
For Xie Zhan, the more chaotic the situation in the Southland is, the more beneficial it is to him.
Therefore, he didn't say that he would provoke conflicts between the six major families at the same time, but at least provoke conflicts between three families to make it easier to operate.
But because of the flood in the Southland, the court's eyes are also there, and it may end at any time. This is a variable.
Therefore, Lu Songli felt that after Xie Zhan had suffered a loss from greed once, he should reflect and restrain himself. He will control this chaos within his ability.
Of course, Lu Songli hopes that he will fall into the same pit again, but it is too lucky to expect others to do a bad job and take advantage of it.
So let's be realistic. Lu Songli doesn't know which families Xie Zhan will provoke conflicts, but the turmoil of the Chen family is certain.
After Lu Songli explained this, the whole idea is very clear.
Lu Desheng said first, "First of all, the Chen family is doomed."
Lu Songli looked at Xue Xu and said with a smile, "Yes, Chen Jiaye, the head of the Chen family, benefited from Mr. Xue's assistance and reaped the benefits of having high-end talents. Now he wants to repeat the old tricks and bind Xie Zhan with interests and emotions to let him make suggestions for the development of the Chen family. Xie Zhan is not the kind of person who is willing to be inferior to others."
Xue Xu also smiled and followed closely, "Then the Zhu family should not be able to escape."
Pick the weak persimmon. Among the current Gu, Lu, Zhu, Liu and Zhang families, the Gu and Lu families have always been the first two, and the Liu and Zhang families have always been in alliance and marriage. In contrast, the Zhu family is the soft persimmon.
Lu Songli: "The last family should be the Lu family."
The Liu and Zhang families are of the same blood, which also means that they react slowly and many decisions cannot be issued immediately. Moreover, the two families give each other blood transfusions, and it is difficult to make them mess up.
Although the Gu and Lu families have always been the top two of the six most powerful families in the South, in general, the Lu family is slightly inferior to the Gu family.
Lu Songli smiled and said, "Dad, Mr. Xue, let's make corresponding preparations next. While Xie Zhan is muddying the water, we will go down and fish in the muddy water!" What they have to do is to grab resources and grab the market.
"Okay!"
Suck blood from the South and give blood transfusion to Liaodong County.
