Chapter 33: Intrigue and Deceit in Volume A
When Feng Ziying frankly revealed her intentions, Wang Shaoquan fell into a state of confusion and confusion.
This is a solution that a twelve-year-old boy came up with?
Even though there were people giving him advice, a twelve-year-old boy actually dared to take such a big risk and swim out from Dongshui Gate, and he also successfully persuaded Wang Chaozuo to help cover for him.
This is simply a bit magical.
There is also this Wang Chaozuo. He has long expected that this person is probably unstable. He is dragging his family with him, and there are hundreds of people from Weijia Hutong. However, he started to turn around so quickly, which still makes him feel a little uncomfortable. , Fortunately, we were already prepared, so we were not afraid.
Moreover, when things have developed to this point, they have already exceeded the previous controllable range. If it continues, it may not be a good thing. Let's see how capable this person is.
Feng Ziying didn't hide anything. After thinking about it for a while, he revealed the situation and intentions he had learned with some reservations. He thought that the other party might recognize his idea and there would be some room for cooperation.
“Mr. Feng, Commander Li has indeed arrived at Dongchang Mansion, but do you think you can convince Commander Li to use his personal barracks to take a risk?”
After a long time, Wang Shaoquan took a deep breath and rubbed his hands vigorously for a while.
“I’m not too sure, but I think if the Grain Gang is willing to help, the possibility may be much greater.”
Feng Ziying’s tone was very indifferent, but his words revealed strong confidence, which made Wang Shaoquan very depressed.
"Mr. Feng, I'm afraid there are some situations that you don't understand well, so we may not be able to help you much." Wang Shaoquan's expression remained calm, but the meaning behind his words puzzled Feng Ziying: "Oh, the Shanshan Grain Gang is so big up and down the canal. His reputation is closely related to Caoliang, why do you say this?"
Wang Shaoquan pondered for a moment and then slowly said: "Master Feng doesn't know something. Our grain gang and Caoliang do have some connections, but it is precisely for this reason that Commander Li has been doing a lot to our Shanshan grain gang in order to avoid melon fields and plums... "
Wang Shaoquan made a somewhat cryptic gesture, and Feng Ziying immediately understood. I am afraid that there is some discord between the Shanshan-Shaanxi Grain Gang and Commander Li. As for the specific reason, I am afraid it is not as simple as what Wang Shaoquan said. .
The Liang Gang is still very powerful outside the city. This location is a large house in Sanlipu, across the river from Zhonggong Temple.
Seeing this situation, Feng Ziying didn't talk nonsense, "In this case, Xiao Ke is presumptuous, but even if there is a chance, he should try his best. Xiao Ke decided to go to Dongchang Mansion to see Commander Li and implore him to send troops to exterminate Bailian immediately. Teacher, I wonder if Mr. Wang can provide a small boat for the two of us to take us to Liaocheng?"
"Young Master Feng, you are so polite. Even if you don't mention it, Wang will do the same. From here to Liaocheng, if you take the mountain shuttle without stopping, you can reach it in one day. Please feel free to rest assured." Wang Shaoquan immediately patted his chest, "It's just Wang. I also want to remind you that Commander-in-Chief Li is a civil servant, and he has been in office not long ago. He has always looked down upon merchants like us. I think Master Feng still needs to think carefully about how to persuade him. Perhaps Master Feng’s status as a Gongsheng student can help. beneficial."
After sending Feng Ziying and two others out and arranging the boats, Wang Shaoquan returned to the hall.
“Second uncle, why do you think so highly of this son?” The young man who had been following Wang Shaoshen couldn’t help but ask, “Does second uncle really think that he can convince Mr. Li Cao?”
Wang Shaoquan paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back.
"This civil unrest is somewhat beyond our expectations. We did not expect that the Luo Jiao people were so powerful, and there were also outsiders involved, which we did not expect. We need to deal with it seriously now. Now we are waiting for It’s like riding a tiger but it’s hard to get off. If it’s difficult to suppress it, the loss of food is a trivial matter. If it really destroys all these stores and hurts our vitality, what should we do?”
The young man beside him was also silent.
"And I feel that this young man is far from being as simple as he shows and just wants to save the people. Although the Feng family is a prominent family in Linqing, the Shenwu generals rarely care about it. Their roots are in the capital. Datong, but this time this man is willing to take a strange risk, and in my previous conversation with him, he is not ignorant of the causes of this civil uprising, and may even be vaguely aware of some other reasons. This is why I feel a little bit worried."
Wang Shaoquan's words surprised the young man, but he became tough again.
"So what? It's just a guess. Now everyone knows that it was the tax supervisor's harsh demands that triggered the civil commotion. The Luo Jiao took advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos. We, the Grain Gang, were also the biggest victims. All the goods in the shops in the city were looted. Let's talk about it. The chief culprit is Eunuch Chang, and some people from Luo Jiao, Li Fu, Zhu Hu, and kiln workers must have followed him and committed evil."
"Sanlang, you don't understand what I mean. Although the Feng family is young, he is not someone who can be bullied. Of course we will not admit it."
Wang Shaoquan’s eyes flickered, as if he was weighing the details carefully.
"I'm just curious, how will the direct son of the Feng family persuade Mr. Li Cao? That person is not easy to deal with. If the Feng family relies on his martial arts, I'm afraid he will be rejected, and he may have to ask for help. It’s not possible to be kicked out after being teased, even if we try our best to see Mr. Li Cao, this Feng family son is still too immature."
Wang Shaoquan's words made the young man even more confused, "Then why didn't the second uncle remind him?"
"Why do you need to remind him? Whether it succeeds or fails, what does it have to do with us?" Wang Shaoquan's eyes flickered more and more deeply under the light, "Now that we have come to this step, it is impossible to be annihilated so easily no matter what, we will wait. After paying such a price, there must be a result, let's see how Mr. Li Cao responds."
“Second uncle, are you talking about Eunuch Chang and Mr. Li Cao…”
"Humph, they are not fuel-efficient lamps. Let's just sit back and watch the fight between tigers. No matter which side succeeds, it will only be beneficial to us. It is best..." Wang Shaoquan smiled softly, as if he was confident, but he always felt that he had ignored it. Something like that.
This feeling made him very uncomfortable. After thinking for a while, he still felt that he needed to be more cautious.
"Well, I'm afraid we still have to make some preparations. You can send someone to Dongchang Mansion to get ahead of them. As soon as they arrive, arrange for someone to watch over there to see what this Feng family master can do. What a trick."
Requesting all kinds of support!
