0556 Cold War

In Wuyi Alley, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Standing at the entrance of the street and looking inside, the first thing you see is the majestic and magnificent archway Hengmen of the Langya Wang's family, which should have been a place where cars and horses gathered, but now many of the ministers and ministers are gone, replaced by the layered display of the armor.

It is not inferior or even surpassing the Danyang Princess's Mansion further down the street, although the princess's mansion is not as grand as the Wang family, but there are only a lot more armor soldiers on display, and even the arrow tower has been built in the high wall, and there is no shortage of armor soldiers up and down.

The doors of these two mansions are closed, and the posture of not approaching people makes people shudder when they see it from a distance, and they dare not stay for a long time in the left near area, even if they have to pass through it as a last resort, they all rush by, lest they be affected by the tense atmosphere.

The vast majority of people in Tokyo were initially unaware of this, and the news was only circulated in a small circle, and the news was spread outwards one after another. By the next day, the news had spread almost throughout Jiankang City. It's just that everyone is in a different circle, and the amount of news they have learned is also different.

Although the news has spread, it is rare that no one is talking about it outside. Probably because the amount of information contained in this matter is too large for people to take lightly. Everyone who heard about this was looking around to learn as much as they could. But there are often different opinions.

At present, the most widely circulated version is that the Shen family is not angry that Wang Bin will check and balance his family when he goes south, so the Shen family sends people to trap Wang Bin's son in the capital. The second is that the Langya Wang clan is self-dictated in the countryside, and even the descendants of the descendants personally went into battle to bully the villagers, but they were violently counterattacked by the villagers, and then died in the township.

Although Shen Zhezi was at home, he did not give up collecting information from the outside world, and when these two completely different versions were placed on his desk, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

After Shen Zhezi got the news, he only notified his relatives to buy him time to respond, but he didn't let people spread the news. He believes that Director Wang must be the same, and he will never easily disclose more inside information when he does not test more feedback.

However, the two statements that are currently on Shen Zhezi's desk are getting bigger and bigger in the spread, and all kinds of theories that add oil and vinegar have been spread with noses and eyes. For example, how Shen Zhezi selects the dead, and even orders when people to dispatch; Or how the Wang family blackmailed the villagers, and even *** women.

Although it is just a variety of rumors, it can be seen that the situation is about to get out of control!

The death of one of Wang Xing's people is not just the death of a child of the Wang family, the two families involved, the Langya Wang family goes without saying, and the Wuxing Shen family now has a profound influence in the current situation. Because of the strong political attributes and factions of the two families, no matter how simple things are, they will inevitably be over-interpreted, either intentionally or unintentionally.

For Shen Zhezi, Wang Xingzhi's death was really an accident, and his way of dealing with it was very different from the past, and he did not use it to create any greater variables. His reaction seemed to be intense, but in fact, he was always conservative, only enhancing his ability to protect himself, and did not release any offensive signals.

This does not seem to be in line with Shen Zhezi's old style of fearing that the world will not be chaotic, but in fact, the reason is very simple, his family has gone ashore, and the stability of the situation is more conducive to his family's interests. Not to mention anything else, if there is a big chaos, the manpower and material resources invested by a large number of Wuzhong villagers in Jiankang may be paid for the flow.

Wang Xingzhi's death did more harm than good to him, which was an accident he did not expect. Especially in this unexpected situation, he can't get any benefits at all, so he hopes to be able to calm things down.

Even if it can be excavated in this matter, the Lei family, with the support of the Wang family, is rampant and domineering in the township, and then pours out the anger aroused by the slave craze on the Langya Wang family. But there is one thing to be wary of, no matter how violent this emotional wave is, Shen Zhezi can't control it. Even if the Wang family was uprooted, Shen Zhezi was not ready to encroach on all the lost land of the Wang family.

And this kind of emotion is irrational, it will not consider the consequences at all, and it will expand the attack area without a bottom line. Even if Shen Zhezi was able to guide it for his own use, the best result would be nothing more than to sweep away the Wang family, brazenly launch the Northern Expedition without regard to the national strength, and go to Jiangbei again and again in vain to fill in people's lives. As soon as he slows down his pace, he will be abandoned without pity by those fanatics, and he will be swallowed up by the tide he has set up.

This kind of foresight is not that Shen Zhezi is scaring himself. In the history of mankind, whether civilized or barbaric, this happens once the population has fallen into complete fanaticism. Of course, this situation is not all bad, sweeping away all the old order and rebuilding the wasteland.

But the problem is that the northern land is now in the late stage of Shile's rule, and the basic order has been established, and Jiangdong has no chance of winning. And even if the Qihu is swept away, the Di and Qiang entrenched in the pass, and the Xianbei in the south of Liaodi, are enough to become the last straw that overwhelms the camel! At the end of the strong crossbow, the arrow cannot pierce the reckless. In this world, the most important thing is the enemy, the crazier you are, the faster you will be defeated!

This is a situation that Shen Zhezi does not want, and he concentrates the forces of the left near Gyeonggi, in addition to warning Wang Dao, he is also guarding against this situation. He didn't want the fire he had lit to burn out of place, and it would only burn himself.

Therefore, although he has put on a tense posture at the moment, Shen Zhezi has been ordering his subordinates not to act rashly, not wanting the situation to get out of control.

——————

There is also a high pavilion in the Wang's mansion, although it is not comparable to the Shen Yuan Star Picking Tower on the bank of the Qinhuai River, but it is enough to overlook the entire Wuyi Lane.

Wang Dao was hovering on the high pavilion right now, looking at the heavily guarded princess's mansion not far away, and his eyebrows were full of sadness.

Knowing that King Langya was living in the Shen family as a guest, Wang Dao immediately sent people into Jianping Garden to discuss in front of the Queen Mother, King Zong, especially King Langya, should not live in the minister's house for a long time. However, the queen mother's reaction surprised him very much, and she refused to see anyone, but it made people spread the word that King Langya was just visiting relatives, and warned people not to interpret too much.

The queen mother's reaction was too strange, and her attitude of defending the Shen family was obvious, which caught Wang Dao off guard. But he didn't have time to think more before he had to face the troubles that followed.

In the early morning, good people came to the door one after another, including Zhuge Hui and Cai Mo, who met yesterday, these people reprimanded the Shen family for being shameless, touching the dignity of the Wang family again and again, and not putting their Qingxu family in their eyes at all, it was unbearable! These people almost unanimously expressed their support for Director Wang, hoping that Director Wang could take this opportunity to give the Shen family, the raccoon dog in Wuzhong, a head-on blow!

Although Director Wang was dealing with the greetings of these people, he smiled bitterly in his heart. In this case, he had already learned that the Shen family was involved in Wang Xing's death, and he had already understood it. Because of this, he felt that this was a rare opportunity to unite the villagers and directly cut off the rising momentum of the Shen clan's Wuzhong portal with the momentum of mourning.

As for how Wang Xingzhi died, the inside story is not important, and because of his death, he brought the situation back to the normal track, and it can be regarded as a well-deserved death.

However, due to the lag of the news and the miscalculation of the attitude of the Empress Dowager in the garden, Director Wang's situation suddenly became embarrassing. In the early morning, he even had people prepare carriages and horses, and as soon as he received the edict from the empress dowager expressing her dissatisfaction with the Shen family, he immediately sent people to Jingzhou and Xuzhou to report to them, informing them that the Shen family had held the king of Langya hostage.

But now, because there is no statement from the Queen Mother, this big move is completely useless. If he can't force the Shen family to hand over the King of Langya, and he doesn't completely blockade Jiankang City, he can't stop Shen Zhezi at all, and the other party can take the King of Langya back to his hometown at any time, or even simply confront him for a long time in the capital!

The emotions of the villagers have been mobilized, but Director Wang suddenly threw himself into a rat trap here and lacked follow-up, which made him feel anxious. At noon, as the emperor, he wanted to go to Jianping Garden to carefully explore the attitude of the queen mother, but the guests came one after another, and he really had no time to leave.

A little later, the emperor sent someone to send a condolence note, but Wen Qiao personally came to the door to deliver it, telling him to deal with family affairs with peace of mind and not to rush back to Taiwan.

Taking advantage of the fact that some of the villagers left, Wang Dao immediately withdrew and avoided the guests on the grounds of grief and heartache, not wanting to deal with the poverty of the villagers. He didn't know that the villagers were so enthusiastic because of the death of his family's children, but they just wanted to use his family to purge the Shen family and even the Wu people's position and influence in the capital, and share their own food.

But the best time is no longer there, because Wang Dao did not occupy Dunan here, and then let Zhao Yin block Qingxi and occupy the Zhoushan vacated by King Chen, but this move can only be a slight deterrent and scare some timid Wu people.

Looking at the princess's mansion with the closed courtyard opposite, the corners of Wang Dao's mouth flashed with a wry smile. In the past, the people who could force him to this point were all important ministers like Diao Xie, who were vigorously supported by the emperor, or Yu Liang, an imperial uncle with a high reputation, but he didn't expect that this time he was forced to be indecisive by a junior, and he was in a dilemma.

In fact, in Director Wang's heart, at this time, there was also resentment towards Shen Zhezi, his family died of a descendant of the family, so it is reasonable to come to the door to greet him, right? But this kid is usually polite, and when he encounters something, he immediately turns his face, and he doesn't even communicate with each other, which is really unreasonable!

Of course, Director Wang also knows very well that once Shen Zhezi arrives, he will have to face a question of how much to pay. This kid is so shameless, he is so tough, it's just a posture of no slightest. In this way, even if Director Wang does not complain about his family, he must not retreat if he only considers the feelings of the villagers!

He now just hopes that King Langya can leave the Shen family's right and wrong place quickly, and then recruit Shen Zhezi to discuss a way to deal with the aftermath.

Of course, in addition to Duzhong, Director Wang also sent letters to Wang Shu and Wang Bin respectively, and Wang Shu told him in more detail. Earlier, Wang Bin joined the Huiji, and Shen Chong directly fought outside Chen Jiangzhou as a deterrent, but now Wang Shu can go the other way, but I want to see if Shen Chong dares to really stand on his own in the southeast!

As for Wang Bin, he was ashamed to say it, and he didn't tell more details, just a simple notice. Even whether Wang Bin should return to the capital or not, he didn't say much. But in fact, he hoped that Wang Bin could stay in Huiji and cooperate with Wang Shu, so as to tear apart Shen Chong's control of Huiji. And if Wang Bin returns to the capital, he may collude with the villagers, intensify the contradictions, and make irrational moves.

After standing upstairs for a while, Wang Dao went downstairs and instructed his family to start preparing for the funeral, which should be prepared according to the regulations of his eldest son Wang Yue. In addition to expressing his apologies to Wang Bin, he also hopes to make the scene bigger and show his condolences.

It's just unexpected, Wuzhong Gateway, who originally lived in Wuzhong Township, has now grown to the point that his family has to mourn themselves in order to seize a little political opportunity.
