Brother listens to orders

Chapter 51 The Truth

Cheng Qianshu went to Kang's house, Wei Xiaowu was locked in the firewood room, and when he saw him, he made a "tsk tsk" sound like a dog.

Cheng Qianshu gestured for silence, carefully pried open the window and came in, and said, "How is it?"

Wei Xiaowu said: "It's a fraud. Kang Ningjie admitted that he has connections with Zhong Ying and Hua Wulang. I have the evidence of the U people in my hand. I also half-truthed about the Kou family. He thought The Kou family is finished, just tell me."

Cheng Qianshu listened solemnly.

Wei Xiaowu said: "Kang Ningjie and Hua Wulang are not completely in the same group. Kang Ningjie still has the intention of praying mantises to catch cicadas and orioles. He has a deal with Zhong Ying in private. If he replaces Hua Jiacheng With the new leader of the martial arts alliance and the rise of the Kang family, he will secretly assist Zhong Ying with all his strength."

To put it simply, Zhong Ying, a great eunuch in the imperial court, was very trusted by the emperor, and his ambitions gradually grew. Instead of being content with being an eunuch in charge, he wanted many things, and the most important thing was power.

Rights can be exchanged for money. Zhong Ying needs a lot of money. At first, he started some small businesses secretly, and gradually hooked up with some concubines in the palace, using the resources of those women's families to gradually expand the business.

But no matter what, his identity always makes it easy for others to ignore him. When dividing the spoils, he is often the one who contributes the most but is exploited the most; The Hua family who went to the capital to do business hooked up.

At first, he paved the way for the Hua family, which involved many court officials, and a group of people did business together, and the matter was kept very secret; Lang saw this person's ambition, so he took the initiative to throw an olive branch, let Zhong Ying taste the sweetness, the Hua family's business gradually tilted, Zhong Ying took the lead, and the others were slowly squeezed out of this small circle. Afterwards, only those who have been approved by Zhong Ying can enter this profitable circle. Zhong Ying's status will naturally rise, and he will no longer be an insignificant person.

But also because the circle began to have choices, and the people who were squeezed out were dissatisfied, so some news leaked.

At that time, the Hua family's business was already very big, and even the royal family involved many people, and almost no one could shake it at all.

It was also at this time that Cheng Qin's old friend discovered the clue and sent a letter to hint, but Cheng Qin didn't think so much, let alone have the slightest doubt.

The Hua family's business is getting bigger and bigger, and even Jin Ye and Jin Fei can't interfere with matters related to the capital. Hua Wulang himself followed up and sent his confidants to follow Zhong Ying and contact him at any time.

But although the business is good, Zhong Ying and Hua Wulang are still dissatisfied, and with the election of the new martial arts leader coming, Hua Wulang hopes that the eldest son will inherit, but he also knows that once the eldest son takes that position, some things will not be right for him. I can control it.

So Hua Wulang came up with a perfect plan.

"The Kou family?" Hua Wulang sat in a chair, looked at her beloved son, and smiled indifferently, "The Kou family is just a little thing that doesn't matter, and there are many people who can replace them. I don't care who helps him, because I am the one who controls his life and death."

Hua Wulang tapped on the table: "Influence, money, can Zhong Ying surpass me?"

Hua Jinshuang's face was pale, and she could hardly stand up: "Father, we have everything, brothers and sisters are very competitive, isn't it enough?"

Hua Wulang frowned: "Sure enough, I have spoiled you. Other things are left to your elder brother and second elder brother. You are really not in charge of the family and don't know how expensive it is."

Hua Jinshuang clenched her fists: "The ancestors of the Hua family have a saying, you can't have anything to do with the imperial court!"

"That was in the past," Hua Wulang said, "The rivers and lakes are the affairs of the rivers and lakes. That's the way of the past. The imperial court will not allow such a group of unrestrained people to do whatever they want with their own 'chivalry'. Clean up the martial arts It's a matter of time, I'm arranging for you in advance."

"We can do business," Hua Jinshuang said, "doing business is also very good."

"After being suppressed by the court to do business, will they give you a way out?" Hua Wulang shook his head, "Once the Hua family loses its influence and the power to command the heroes, who will take us seriously? Business is Is it so easy to do? Go ask your elder brother and second brother, can our current business be started casually? How many people are not looking at the Hua family and looking at my face?"

Hua Wulang said: "If the Hua family loses, it will be a very old male lion who can only wait to be killed by a younger male lion."

On the other end, Wei Xiaowu spoke dryly, and said, "That's why Hua Wulang took the initiative to propose the order to hand over the sword. In order to make meritorious service, he took the initiative to cooperate with the court and prepare to secretly solve several major martial arts families. fear."

Cheng Qianshu's forehead was tensed with blue veins, and he gritted his teeth: "My father...is he being targeted because he opposes the knife handing over order?"

"Of course it's more than that." Wei Xiaowu shook his head, "with your father around, Zhong Ying's business cannot continue, and you have seen what he is doing. They must find a chance to replace your father."

Cheng Qianshu understood that Zhong Ying's business was also the business of the Hua family, and Hua Wulang proposed to pay the knife again. Cheng Qin thought for the sake of the Hua family, and at the same time, the Cheng family was also from the rivers and lakes in the early years, so naturally they could not agree, so Zhong Ying had an objection to Cheng. The reason why Qin started.

"Kang Ningjie heard this news by accident," Wei Xiaowu said. "He has always wanted to participate in the martial arts conference, so he secretly followed Kang Ningxin. Mr. Kang did not allow him to participate. He already saved the plan to kill Kang Ningxin." Thoughts. He sent someone to watch secretly, but he bumped into the messenger sent by your father."

One after another, everything seems to have been arranged and is proceeding in an orderly manner.

The Cheng family's messenger went to Mr. Kang, hoping to leave Cheng Qianshu a way out, and at the same time remind him to be careful of the Hua family, but Kang Ningjie caught all of this. Kang Ningjie found out the inside story and took the initiative to find the Hua family. Threatening Hua Wulang to tell the matter.

Kang Ningjie didn't want to have anything to do with the people of the court, he wanted the position of the leader of the martial arts, and their needs were different from the beginning.

Hua Wulang appeases Kang Ningjie for the time being, and promises him that the court will secretly appoint him as the leader of the martial arts alliance after the order to hand over the sword is successfully promulgated, leading those who have not been wiped out. He is also a member of the court, who can control this group of disobedient "heroes".

Once a disobedient guy appears, the imperial court will send someone to help him deal with it. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?

Cheng Qianshu smiled coldly: "He won't agree."

Wei Xiaowu nodded: "He's not going to be a lackey of the imperial court, and it's impossible for him to become a gatekeeper when Hua Wulang changes his skin and embarks on an official career. But he can bear it very much. But he managed to contact Zhong Ying through Hua Wulang."

"Zhong Ying also has his own thoughts," Wei Xiaowu laughed as he thought about it, "Do you think these people are tired? They each have their own goals, and each is pretending. The hypocrisy is disgusting."

Cheng Qianshu waved his hand, signaling that he needn't say more, and said indifferently: "Hua Wulang thinks he is holding on to Zhong Ying's lifeline, and neither money nor power can be obtained by Zhong Ying, so he has to rely on the Hua family. But Zhong Ying is not willing to Rely on anyone, otherwise he would not have found a way to get on the boat of the Hua family back then, his purpose was very clear from the beginning."

"Yes." Wei Xiaowu nodded, "So Hua Wulang is also a stumbling block, and Zhong Ying will not keep him. When Hua Wulang takes over these martial arts experts, the Hua family may not get the desired result."

"Letting Hua Wulang enter the capital will not do Zhong Ying any good." Cheng Qian said, "By that time, Hua Wulang will have his handle on him, which will only be more disadvantageous. I guess Zhong Ying is the one who is really willing to cooperate. , it's Kang Ningjie."

One only wants martial arts status, and the other only wants money and power.

Neither of the two wanted to have anything to do with anyone, and they hit it off almost immediately.

florist.

After Hua Wulang's words, Hua Jinshuang closed his eyes: "So you and Zhong Ying are on the same team, Father, have you never thought that Zhong Ying would let you hold him? Help him If you wipe out these seniors, then you will have no way out!"

Hua Wulang smiled: "Am I that stupid? No matter how Zhong Ying plans to deal with me in the future, I have a way to make him afraid to do it."

It was already raining heavily outside the window, the sky was pitch black, and the rolling thunder roared in the clouds, shaking people's apex numbly.

Hua Jinshuang only felt a little ringing in his ears, and his head was dizzy. He didn't know whether it was anger or sadness, so he put one hand on the table and said, "It's too late to regret it now."

"It's too late." Hua Wulang shook his head, "When I get the news of your Uncle Cheng's death, everything is doomed."

Hua Jinshuang gasped, Hua Wulang thought of something, and frowned: "You always say you like men, and I don't care about you, no matter how mischievous you are, I will let you go, but just one thing, you can't be with Cheng Qianshu .When he knows the cause of his father's death, you will be very dangerous."

Hua Jinshuang smiled miserably: "How do you know he doesn't know?"

Hua Wulang was taken aback.

Hua Jin's eyes were red, and she looked at him: "Father, I have loved such a person all my life, do you have the heart to take him away from me?"

Hua Wulang frowned, and didn't speak for a long time, he loved the third child the most, whose personality and face were most like his wife's, but if a person wants to live, he can't always let his temper go, everything in the world can't go his way, even if he is himself, Whether it is a child, you have to get used to it and accept it.

Hua Wulang waved lightly: "Come here."

Hua Jinshuang was taken aback.

A few men in black came in from the window, they were the hidden guards carefully cultivated by Hua Wulang, and they looked at him with cold faces.

Hua Wulang sighed, and said: "Take the young master down, don't let him out until the martial arts conference is over."

"Bang—" There was a loud noise.

Hua Wulang stood up abruptly.

A few figures appeared in front of the courtyard, and one of them, an old man with white hair but a voice like Hong Zhong, said, "Good job, Hua Wulang! You want to plot against us! It's not that easy!"

Hua Wulang's complexion changed, and he looked at Hua Jinshuang.

Hua Jinshuang smiled wryly: "You don't think that I will hide this news for you, do you?"

At the same time, at the other end of the Kang family, Kang Ningjie was about to go out when he was forced back by a long sword shining with cold light. Tear marks.

Cheng Qianshu stood up and frowned and looked into the distance.

Kang Ningjie looked at the old man walking out of the rain in amazement. The dumb uncle was holding an umbrella. The heavy rain was like the rain curtain before the big drama was about to kick off. In the hazy smoke, Mr. Kang was dressed in blue, with a straight back and meticulously rolled up white hair. With a resolute side face and a condescending manner between his brows, he said: "Stop, don't even think about going anywhere today."
