"Wait." Wu Kongjia snorted lightly.

The subordinates of the Wang family immediately looked at Wang Anbang.

Wang Anbang hurriedly signaled the people in the house to retreat.

More than a dozen members of the Wang family who surrounded Wei Bao and the others immediately retreated behind Wang Anbang.

Wei Bao looked at Wu Kongjia, and Wu Kongjia also looked at Wei Bao.

Neither of them had sharp eyes, nor was they calm.

At this moment, they all felt the strength of the other party.

In fact, in terms of Wei Bao's current power, although he is still only a rich man on the surface, in the officialdom, it is only Sun Chengzong who helped him get a seven-grade Liaonan transfer envoy in the Jiliao Governor's Mansion, and he is not an official in the capital at all.

But Wei Bao's own strength is already at least the level of a third-grade master, the level of a prince, if Wei Bao gets into trouble, not to mention that he can enter the pass, he can hit near the Beijing Division, and it can affect whether the Ming Dynasty will fall.

It is certain that it can affect the situation in Liaodong, and it is certain that it can affect the commercial market in the north, in terms of officialdom power, unless it is a member of the second grade or above, and it must be a member of a very powerful power group such as the Eunuch Party or the Donglin Party, otherwise, it is very difficult to get Wei Bao.

Therefore, for the current Wei Bao, it is difficult to see how powerful a person like Wu Kongjia is, because although Wu Kongjia has attached Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian's eunuch party is also a very large power structure, although it has not been formed for a long time, regardless of the number or history, it cannot be compared with the Donglin Party, but it also accounts for more than one percent of the Ming officialdom, and the party is all over the world.

Wu Kongjia is ranked in seniority, and at most he is the forty grandsons of Wei Zhongxian.

I don't know why, Wei Bao can't see the number of this person from Wu Kongjia's appearance, Wu Kongjia's outfit can even be said to be very rustic, but very clean, if you don't know what he does, you will think that it is the bookkeeper of which firm, and his expression is not arrogant, in general, he is a very inconspicuous middle-aged man in his thirties and forties.

Wu Kongjia looked at Wei Bao, and saw that Wei Bao was dressed in high-quality materials, although he did not wear any extravagant jewelry, the purple bamboo fan in his hand also belonged to the standing things of the son-in-law with a good family background, and it was not unusual.

Because of this, Wu Kongjia thinks even more highly of Wei Bao, because he knows that Wei Bao is very rich, and a rich person can bear not to show off, and he is from a poor family, which is rare.

What's even more rare is that Wei Bao's temperament is outstanding, and he is so young, but he doesn't feel that the person standing opposite him is a teenager who is only fifteen years old, and he has a maturity beyond his age.

"Wei Gongzi, we are also destined, I am the first name in the second class, you are the second name in the second class, we have seen each other's names, but today is the first time we have met." Wu Kongjia said.

Wei Bao listened to the other party's polite words and smiled slightly: "Exactly, you and I are fateful, and we are ranked next to each other in the top two, and today we meet here because of the affairs of the Xiong family and the Wang family, which is even more fate." ”

Wang Anbang saw that Wu Kongjia spoke politely to Wei Bao, and immediately panicked, Wu Kongjia was the backer he found, and he had already given Wu Kongjia three thousand taels of silver, three thousand taels of silver! It's not a small amount, what do you mean if you don't help me get rid of Wei Bao, and you're still close to him?

However, Wang Anbang did not dare to question Wu Kongjia in front of Wei Bao, the Wang family used to be very powerful, but now that Wang Huazhen is in prison, they can be said to be helpless, the Wang family has long seen that the Donglin Party is unreliable, looking for his father's old friends in the past, none of them are willing to stand up for their family. In the end, I could only ask the people on the eunuch side for help.

By chance, Wang Anbang knew that Wu Kongjia had done something for Wei Zhongxian and helped Wei Zhongxian get a lot of silver, and Wu Kongjia was a new person who had recently joined Wei Zhongxian's disciple, so he had no shelf, so he found Wu Kongjia to help.

Wu Kongjia helped the Wang family, in fact, he asked Wei Zhongxian for what he meant, Wei Zhongxian wanted silver anyway, and he had no opinion on whoever could get the silver.

As for whether to help Wang Huazhen after getting the silver, then another story!

Wu Kongjia had Wu Yangchun and his sons arrested in Jingshi and imprisoned them in the Imperial Prison (a prison under the direct control of the emperor).

The official of Jinyi Weitang, Tian Er, was tortured to death by Wu Yangchun and others (a total of eight people were imprisoned, and only three survived).

If a person dies and the money has not been paid enough, the family property will be confiscated.

After such a toss, the Wu family has long been bankrupt, and the people in the family have died completely.

His wife Wang committed suicide, the two daughters died by hanging, and the old mother died of anger. The lord of Huangshan, who has infinite scenery, ended up with a broken family in a blink of an eye.

Although this case was triggered by a house slave holding grievances for the master, the essence of the case has nothing to do with it.

As a local rich man, Wu Yangchun used his wealth to settle his family and expand his wealth. He could nip the problem in the bud.

In the development trend of the case, small people like Wu Kongjia played a big role.

Wu Yangchun, who was rich in the local area, did not affect the capital thousands of miles away.

From ancient times to the order, power and wealth are like the relationship between wolves and embarrassment.

In the eyes of the official group represented by Wei Zhongxian, Wu Yangchun's wealth can be completely owned by me.

Wu Yangchun thought that he could balance his power with his wealth, but as a result, he lost all his wealth and the lives of his family.

This is Wei Zhongxian's means of doing things.

Therefore, in Wei Bao's view, whether it is Wei Zhongxian's eunuch party or the Donglin party, they all seem to be strong, but in fact, they are only tied together because of the relationship of interests.

Although Wei Bao's Heaven and Earth Society is still very weak, it is a president, a kind of thought, acting completely by his will, advancing, hard as a stone.

"I'm not beating around the bush anymore! As long as the Xiong family leaves Jingshi, I will not embarrass them again! Wu Kongjia said: "It's not difficult to do, right?" ”

Wei Bao asked, "Brother Wu, do you have a feud with the Xiong family?" Or does the Xiong family owe you money? Why do you want to force people to leave Jingshi? Even the imperial court only designated Xiong Tingbi as a prisoner, and did not expel his family from Beijing, right? Besides, their family has left Beijing, what should Xiong Tingbi do in prison? You always need your family to take care of you, right? Does it make people all over the world say that the Xiong family doesn't care about their father, and the Xiong family is a ruthless and unrighteous person? ”

Wu Kongjia frowned when he saw Wei Bao reasoning, a little impatient, and felt that Wei Bao was a little pedantic, where is there so much truth to talk about things in the world? Since Lao Tzu is in charge of this matter, he must have benefited from it, Lao Tzu has gained benefits, and the Xiong family will definitely have to lose, otherwise where will my benefits come from?

"It seems that you, Master Wei, are you going to fight against me?" Wu Kongjia coldly threatened.

Wu Kongjia asked people to drive the Xiong family away, originally to test whether Wei Bao would be nosy anymore, so as to test Wei Bao's reality and reality.

If Wei Bao doesn't dare to take care of it, it means that Wei Bao has no power.

If Wei Bao still dares to continue to manage, it means that this Wei Bao cannot be underestimated, and if it is not good, it will be together with the Donglin Party.

But now, even if he finds out that Wei Bao may be quite powerful, knowing that I am Wei Gonggong's person, a nine-thousand-year-old person, and he dares to do it, but he doesn't plan to back down, and with his nine-thousand-year-old power, even if the other party gets together with a few Donglin Party ministers, what can he do?

Wang Anbang was overjoyed when he heard this, and he heard that Wu Kongjia had a tone of breaking with Wei Bao.

Wang Anbang was afraid that Wu Kongjia was afraid of Wei Bao's power, so he hoped that Wu Kongjia and Wei Bao would fall out, and it was best to quarrel now, or even fight.

"It's none of Wei Gongzi's business! Even if you kill our whole family, we won't leave! At this time, there was a coquettish sound in the yard, the courtyard door opened, and Xiong Xin'er walked out.

Xiong Xin'er didn't come out until this time, because she heard Wei Gongzi's voice in the house, and she couldn't bear to meet Wei Gongzi in Pingshui, and she fell too deep into her family's affairs! Wei Gongzi has helped her family a lot, and she is already very grateful.

If it weren't for Wei Bao, her family would still be living in a dilapidated house, in an alley where the poorest people in the capital live.

Now that I have changed to a good house, I live in a spacious and bright yard, and the surrounding environment is also very good, where can I bear to let my benefactor be implicated again?

Everyone looked at Xiong Xin'er.

Wei Bao and Wu Sanfu have already met Xiong Xin'er, and they are both mentally prepared, knowing that Xiong Xin'er is a little beauty, and her appearance is not inferior to Wang Qiuya.

But one of the two is Wu Xuexia's 'object', a quasi-minister, and the other is Wu Xuexia's brother.

With a super beauty like Wu Xuexia as the base, no matter how beautiful a woman is, for them, they have a strong immunity.

Others are different, seeing that although Xiong Xin'er is dressed plainly, she is beautiful and natural, especially with a good temperament, and she is an official lady at first glance, and she is stunned.

All the people present were men, and most of them suddenly jumped a few times in their hearts, and they all felt that there was a warm current surging all over their bodies, and a kind of admiration for women from men seemed to be able to jump and move flexibly in their bodies.

Even Wu Kongjia, who is nearly forty years old, has such a feeling, not that he has never seen such a beauty, but he naturally has a good impression and greed.

Wu Xuexia whispered to Wu Sanfu: "This is the daughter of the Xiong family?" No wonder the president is so enthusiastic about helping the Xiong family. ”

Wu Sanfu smiled slightly, but did not answer, he didn't see that Wei Bao was tempted by this Xiong Xin'er, because since he helped the Xiong family rearrange the residence that day, Wei Bao had not come to Xiong Xin'er again.

On the contrary, he himself was a little obsessed with this Xiong Xin'er, so he was ready to wait for the palace exam, and he got the official position justifiably, so he found a time to take a look at this Xiong Xin'er.

Although Wu Sanfu got the top three list, he was born in the same jinshi, and he had no hope of fighting for the champion, the top eye, and the tanhualang, but he also wanted to participate in the palace examination.

The palace examination is only one day, and the papers are handed in at dusk, and they are accepted by the officials, such as the rolls, the palm scrolls, and the seals. To the day of grading, 8 people are handed over to read the papers, each person has a table, take turns to read, each add "○", "△", "\\", "1", "×" five kinds of marks, get "○" the most is a good volume, and then in all the volumes, select the most ten copies of the emperor to submit to the emperor, the first, second and third places of the first and second and third are the champions, the eyes of the list, and the flowers, and the first three people are called "Jinshi and the first", also known as "the three tripods".

A number of people in the second class, accounting for one-third of the admitted, are called "Jinshi origin", and the first name of the second class is passed on.

There are a number of top three, accounting for two-thirds of the admitted. Finally, the list is filled in by the list filling officer.

The first three people were immediately conferred, and the champion was awarded the Hanlin Academy for revision, and the Bangyan and Tanhua were awarded for the Hanlin Academy.

Second, if the top three jinshi want to be appointed to the official, they must also go through the court examination in the Baohe Palace, and the results of the examination before and after the comprehensive selection of the best will be admitted to the Hanlin Academy as a Jishi. That is, it is commonly known as "Dianhanlin", and the rest are distributed to various departments to serve as directors or go to other places to serve.

After filling in the results of the palace examination, the emperor held a ceremony in the Taihe Hall to announce the results of the palace examination.

Jinshi is divided into three grades. A first-class three, called the champion, the eye of the list and the flower, give the jinshi and the first; A number of second-class scholars, born as Jinshi; A number of the top three are given the same Jinshi background. The first place in the second and third grades is called Chuanyu. After the ceremony, the new jinshi participated in the court examination in the Baohe Palace.

The examination papers of the dynasty are divided into three classes, the first class is called Chaoyuan.

The first three people in the Jinshi were awarded immediately after the palace examination, and the champion was awarded the Hanlin Academy for revision, and the Bangyan and Tanhua were awarded for the compilation of the Hanlin Academy; Other Jinshi, according to the ranking of the palace examination and the court examination, were respectively awarded the positions of Shu Jishi, director, Zhongshu, pedestrian, evaluator, doctor, pusher, governor, and county.

"If it's your turn, you won't go?" Wang Anbang said angrily: "If you don't leave, you will die!" ”

Because the Wang family was very horizontal and drove away all the onlookers, there would be no onlookers in this alley, so he dared to speak so unscrupulously.

Wu Kongjia frowned, disgusted that Wang Anbang was too crazy, but he didn't want to say anything, just snorted coldly.

Wang Anbang was not stupid, when he heard this hum, he was startled, and hurriedly smiled at Wu Kongjia, and then retreated behind Wu Kongjia, not daring to be long-winded.

Wang Anbang snorted softly again, and turned to Xiong Xin'er with a smiling expression, although he acted as the backstage of the Wang family and engaged the Xiong family brothers and sisters several times, he had never seen Xiong Zhaoqi and Xiong Xin'er, and today was the first time to see the daughter of the Xiong family.

"Girl, you're still young, don't be too stubborn!" Wu Kongjia said: "Since your father has been convicted of the imperial court, even if there is no harm to his family for the time being, it is very dangerous to stay in the capital, so it is better to leave as soon as possible!" Even if you go away, it doesn't necessarily mean that you don't care about your father, you can ask a friend in Beijing to deliver the news on your behalf. ”

"This doesn't bother you! We're going to stay in Beijing and take care of Daddy by ourselves! Xiong Xin'er is not only similar in appearance to Wang Qiuya, but also has a similar temper, both of which are soft on the outside and strong on the inside. Moreover, Xiong Xin'er is also a martial artist, and she is still the child of a high-ranking official, and Miss Housekeeper must generally be more stubborn than ordinary women, and her temperament is even more of Wang Qiuya's strengthened.

After Xiong Xin'er finished speaking, she said to Wei Bao: "Master Wei, you meet my family in Pingshui, you can get the funding of Master Wei, and have such a good house to live in, our family is already grateful, these dirty people, Master Wei should not contact them, so as not to dirty the son." ”

"Who the hell are you talking about?" Wang Anbang immediately couldn't help but scold Xiong Xin'er loudly.

Wu Kongjia was also a little surprised, seeing Xiong Xin'er's soft and weak appearance, he didn't expect that his temper would be so strong, and he dared to resist like this, you must know that they brought so many people, and the momentum was very strong. Moreover, since you are so bold and dare to contradict, why didn't you come out before?

Mainly because Wei Bao came, Xiong Xin'er could bear how the Wang family blocked the door and insulted them before, but when she thought of implicating her benefactor and the person who was good to her family, Xiong Xin'er couldn't bear it.

"Say you!" Xiong Xin'er glared at Wang Anbang: "I know you are the Wang family!" My father has been harmed so badly by you, and you still want to harm us, we are all wolf-hearted beasts! And he sent people to disturb my brother's stall for all the dirty things he had done to you, and he sent people to beat my brother to a serious injury, saying that you are dirty people, and that you are all light, and that you are beasts, and that pigs and dogs are not as good as beasts. ”

This is not only Wang Anbang, but the people of the Wang family are also angry and screaming, if the other party is not a weak woman, they will rise up and beat Xiong Xin'er into a meat patty.

Wu Xuexia admired Xiong Xin'er very much, and secretly wondered if it was herself, a lonely little woman, would she dare to scold so many big men?

"You!" Wang Anbang angrily rolled up his sleeves and said to Wu Kongjia: "Son." ”

Wu Kongjia didn't have an idea for a while, but he knew that the main thing to deal with now was not the daughter of the Xiong family, but Wei Bao, as long as Wei Bao was gone, the Xiong family had no backer, so they would dispose of it casually.

Since Wu Kongjia is in charge of the affairs of the Wang family, he will definitely do it for the Wang family, and after he finishes it, he can knock more money on the Wang family, and he can also make a reputation.

Don't look at doing bad things, doing bad things also needs word of mouth, otherwise no one will ask you to do bad things next time.

No matter what it is, it is business, it is business, and it is necessary to talk about credit and reputation.

"Since the brothers and sisters of the Xiong family have insulted the nine thousand years old, let's escort them to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion together! If anyone dares to stop them, they will be escorted away! Wu Kongjia ordered.

Although he still can't figure out what Wei Bao is about, he dares to openly oppose the nine thousand years old, but Wu Kongjia can't control it so much.

If he is confronted by the daughter of the Xiong family like this, he will not say a word, and if it spreads, will he still mix in the capital in the future?

Wang Anbang was overjoyed when he heard this, and he had been waiting for Wu Kongjia to give such an order, and immediately waved his hand: "What are you doing in a daze?" Didn't you hear what Wu Gongzi said? Take the Xiong family brothers and sisters away and send them to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion! ”

The prefect of Shuntian Mansion is Wei Zhongxian's person, so Wu Kongjia wants to take on the appearance of official business and send the Xiong family brothers and sisters to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion.

"My brother and I have never said anything bad about anyone, let alone a 9,000-year-old man! Don't lie your tongue and frame good people! Xiong Xin'er said angrily: "You are not stupid court officials, why do you arrest people?" ”

"Why are you arresting people?" Wang Anbang sneered, "To insult the nine thousand years old is to violate the royal law of the Ming Dynasty!" Anyone can catch it! If you and your brother hadn't insulted the nine thousand years old, what would you be afraid of? If you have something to say, leave it to the Shuntianfu prison to explain it to the prefect! ”

With Wang Anbang's words, more than a dozen servants of the Wang family were about to step forward to take down Xiong Xin'er.
