Chapter 773: Aftermath
"Xianggong, don't blame yourself too much, perhaps, for Miss He, this is not a relief. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" Qingluan hugged He Wen and He Fei, who were almost frightened, and looked at Chang Wei with concern.
Chang Wei didn't expect He Susu's death to have a great impact on him, as if his soul had been baptized, maybe her sincere feelings made her feel that she was a close person, even though she finally succumbed to Bai Zitong and Yuan Wenbi's obscenity.
If it was not He Susu who fell into his arms, but Xue Qian and Tang Shuxue......
Quickly shook his head, not daring to think about it anymore, He Susu's pale face appeared in Chang Wei's mind again, until the end of his life, that face did not show traces of pain, but was calm and calm, and even a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, maybe it was really like Qingluan said, such an ending can be regarded as a relief.
"But she could have been immortal...... Chang Wei rubbed his purple wrist that was clutched by He Susu, and the color of the purple clearly told him that she was nostalgic for life.
"She killed Yunxian, how can she face Xianggong again? Will she let her endure the torment of her soul for the rest of her life?" Qingluan said softly: "Xianggong's current appearance, probably Miss He is not at ease when she leaves, you are the backbone of our sisters......
Looking at the sea-like affection shot out by those wonderful eyes, Chang Wei was shocked, yes, the deceased is gone, and it is his wife and concubines who should care about and love more, for them, even if it is at any cost, he will not hesitate.
Changing into a set of plain white clothes, Chang Wei came to the study, and the housekeeper came to urge him several times, saying that Jiang Yunzhu asked to see him.
"The eldest brother has just come, and I persuaded him to go back, he is a soldier, and his temper can't help but be a little bigger, don't be surprised by the virtuous nephew. Jiang Yunzhu fed the fish while speaking slowly.
Chang Wei pondered the words and said: "The little nephew is also a little anxious, and he is heartbroken that the concubine was killed, and he is afraid that the murderer will escape, so he has to make this decision, and he will inevitably offend the Marquis of Qinghe. Now the murderer has been ambushed......
"It's okay with that kid from Taiqi, right?" Jiang Yunzhu interrupted Chang Wei's words, smiled slyly, saw him nodding, and said with a smile: "They are all relatives, you don't have to worry, just find a chance to make it clear to my eldest brother in private, he is an understanding person, he will not blame you, he will only be grateful to you." 」
Rao is Chang Wei is very smart, and when he heard Jiang Yunzhu's words about the cloud-covered fog, he didn't understand his intentions for a while.
However, he soon revealed the mystery himself: "The emperor treats the Jiang family as much as a mountain, and it is a rare honor for one family and three marquis, and I don't know how many people are red-eyed. And the children of the Jiang family rely on their special status, and they are inevitably arrogant. Speaking of which, no one says anything about you if you earn a few more taels of silver and occupy a few acres of land, but someone wants to interfere in political affairs, which is a taboo for relatives, and someone must come out from time to time to teach them a lesson to make them sober up, otherwise, the tail will go up to the sky, and finally the emperor will be bored, which is not the blessing of the Jiang family. 」
"What does Master Hou mean, is this the little nephew who pretends to be black-faced?" Chang Wei suddenly realized, looked at Jiang Yunzhu who showed a fox-like smile, and felt in his heart - is he the same person as the ridiculous Hou Ye who chased after him and asked about the imperial maiden's art?
"Of course, it's your own family, the relationship between you and my Jiang family, whether it's close or not, but it's not far away, it's just right. Like me, it's impossible to go to my eldest brother's house with a stick and arrest someone!"
Jiang Yunzhu's words are still unfinished, but Chang Wei understands that according to his thoughts, he can act harshly against the Jiang family, as long as he leaves room for maneuver, but he doesn't know if this is his own meaning or the consensus of the Jiang family, but no matter what, the Jiang family has begun to open the door to himself.
Jiang Yunsong said that the Empress Dowager Jiang invited the holy decree, and said that the Jinyi guard was not allowed to detain Jiang Kui, and Jiang Kui also needed to be with him, and both saved face.
However, due to the death of Lao Zhao and Da Liu, 'Li Long' naturally had to be reprimanded by Ma Yuan, which made this kid too addicted to teaching his master, and of course he was inevitably kicked by Chang Wei behind his back.
It's just that Beizhen didn't delve into it on the surface, and he didn't even bother to pay attention to the identities of Yuan Wenbi and He Susu, only saying that he would hand over the case to Li Long and that he must close the case as soon as possible.
Jinyi's anger was vented on Ren Xiaoqi's head, and when Chang Wei got the news, he had been **** to death. Although Jiang Kui regretted it, he could only accept the reality, after all, his future was important. Of course, he had to scold 'Li Long', and Fang left in a huff.
When many brocade clothes saw the holy decree, they vaguely realized that 'Li Long' might have a lot of origin, and when they saw that he had no parts, they asked to be his subordinates, but he politely refused them one by one with the word danger.
The deaths of Lao Zhao and Da Liu were originally within Chang Wei's calculations, and the two vacant positions were, of course, to be entrusted to confidants.
It's a pity that none of the people from the Seven Seas Alliance can be used, otherwise Fang Huan'er, Cheng Ning'er, and Bai Xiu are all excellent candidates. Looking at the rivers and lakes, he couldn't think of a suitable person for a while, so he had to put the matter aside for the time being.
remembered that the teacher Yuan Keli had made an appointment to give the key to the deed today for him to buy a house, so he had to cheer up and go to Yuan's house.
Yuan Keli asked his son Yuan Ting to accompany Chang Wei to see the house.
The house is located in the secluded Maningzi Hutong, which is only a bag of cigarettes away from the Criminal Department, and it is very convenient to go to Yuan's Mansion from here, just passing by the pocket alley.
The three small quadrangle courtyards with two ears are not obvious even in the Maningzi Hutong, where the majority of ordinary people are flat, and the courtyard and furnishings are quite simple and elegant, and they are in harmony. Yuan Keli had already prepared a futon for Chang Wei, and he could move in and live in.
So Chang Wei quietly moved out of the Guogong Mansion, fortunately, there were not many things, but most of the books in the Yuan Mansion were taken away by him, anyway, Yuan Keli didn't have time to read at the moment, and Gui Jing was bent on studying, and it was impossible to touch those idle books.
Let Cheng Ning'er buy a few clever girls, except for the lack of a hostess, it is also a bit of a home here, but the girls look at the beautifully dressed Chang Wei and the several eight-person sedan chairs that followed, and then look at the courtyard without a trace of luxury, they are always a little at a loss.
Not long after sending Yuan Bi, Xu Fu and others away, I heard someone knock on the door. When I opened the door, an old man at the door had a clear face, white hair fluttering, and between looking forward to it, his spirit was flying, and it was actually a cheap senior brother Xiao Farewell.
"Why are you old guy?" Chang Wei was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly let him into the house, and only after the maid was sent down did the two see each other again.
"Who scarce you!" Xiao Beili scolded with a smile.
After that, he looked around, glanced at Chang Wei's beard again, and said with some surprise: "Little junior brother, you have reversed your temperament!"
"I have to!"
"Everything is fine in Jiangnan, everything is going well in Songjiang, after the suppression of the Japanese, the government attacked one after another, and a number of businesses and families were affected by the central government, plus your ocean-going fleet came back, and a large number of unconvinced people were shocked. 」
The food and drinks were put on the table again, and the two talked while eating. Only then did Chang Wei know that it had been two days since Xiao Farewell left Beijing.
"You kid is elusive, not staring at Jiehuangong, I can't find it here!" He also said that on the way to Beijing, he had seen Gao Junhou and Chu Yanming of the Jin Ge Society from afar, but Xiao Beili was day and night, so he rushed to the head, and estimated that Gao Qi and the two should arrive in two or three days.
"The purpose of their coming to Beijing is naturally the same as mine, Deng Qi was promoted and you suddenly returned to Beijing, the rivers and lakes are called lively, and there is nothing to say!"
It has been almost a month since he left Suzhou, Chang Wei and Deng Qi disappeared at the same time, and those who are interested can probably guess seven or eight points.
However, they probably wouldn't have thought that there was something wrong with this position.
"Don't care how the process is, the key is that you got this position!" Listening to Chang Wei's account of what happened after coming to Beijing, Xiao Bieli smiled happily: "Feng Shui takes turns, and my Divine Sect is finally looking forward to the day when I raise my eyebrows!"
"I'm me, the Demon Sect is the Demon Sect, don't get confused!"
Xiao Beili didn't argue with him, and said with a smile: "At first glance, you live in this place, I thought you were beaten into the cold palace by the emperor!" As he spoke, he frowned: "This place is too secluded, you have to be careful." I think that Deng Qitao was obscure, few people knew his identity, unlike you, who made the city full of storms, be careful that everyone pointed the finger at you in the end!"
"It's not that I just came to power, so you want me to look good, right? Otherwise, what are you doing in the capital with the high prince of Chu Yanming? 」
"You're smart!"
Xiao Bieli did not deny it, and roughly explained the details of the recent situation on the ground in Jiangnan. The Jin Ge Society and the Sky Gang are not moving, and they only fight to the death in the mall.
Ji Yuezhai naturally bore the brunt of the attack, among the six major stalls, the two joined Xue Qian's formation of Bao Ruifu, and Ji Gu Zhai also won one person, and Changkong, who privately supported Lu Feibai, grabbed Zhou Zhe, the number one jewelry master in Jiangnan, and the strength of the Quartet was almost the same.
Bao Ruifu had the upper hand in price because he had rushed to buy and reserve a batch of raw materials in advance, and after Zhou Zhe invested in the new owner, he did his best to produce high-quality products, which reversed the unfavorable situation of Changfengzhai in one fell swoop, and most of the wealthy businessmen in Yangzhou and Yingtian were attracted by it.
Of course, Ji Yuezhai refused to sit still, and on the one hand, he used his relationship to block the plan of Lu and Jigu Zhai to open a branch in Ningbo, but on the other hand, he opened two branches in Huzhou and Wenzhou.
What's more, before Xiao Bieli left Jiangnan, there were already rumors that Ji Yuezhai was secretly in contact with the Huang family and was ready to sell its Suzhou branch to Bao Ruifu.
"If Gao Chu and the others can be sure that you have taken over from Deng Qi to officially take the helm, the Jiyuezhai Suzhou is probably a gift to you. 」
"The Huang family is not so greedy. Up to now, the family, Huang, Shen Longyou and other families have become the No. 1 shopping mall force in Jiangnan, with various most profitable industries such as ocean fleet and machine bureau, and they have long looked down on this small profit.
"It's Senior Brother Changkongtuo, what gift did you send?"
"Two orchids. Xiao Beili laughed twice: "It's all stunning, it's really different from the Central Plains woman, and I don't know where he got it." The two concubines are staying at the inn right now, do you want to bring it to you?" That being said, the last sentence sounded very choking.
"Forget it!" Chang Wei grinned and said, "Your old man has also seen it, and now I am going to change my mind." But he sighed in his heart that it was a pity, although Changkong knew his temper well, it was a pity that the timing was not right. At present, this is the county lord and the princess, and she has also received a Qingluan, and a little brother is almost not enough.
"It's a bit shabby here, but Li Long's house is worth five thousand, so it must be suitable for the Golden House!"
Xiao Bieli laughed: "It's okay, it's fair that both parties don't accept gifts. However," he put away his smile and said, "Right now, both the Jin Ge Society and the Sky Gang have gathered a large number of Jianghu figures, and it is impossible for both families to let a group of majestic martial artists work hard in the mall all day long, and it is only because of your ambiguous attitude that the two families are forced to suppress everyone and dare not do it." can be suppressed for a long time, and it must always break out, otherwise, without fighting each other, the two families will fall apart, and this kind of ending is impossible for Jin Gehui and the Changkong Gang to accept. Once the two families are no longer patient, the situation will be difficult to control, why don't you come up with an idea now, even if it is a small fight, so that those who have developed limbs and simple minds have something to do!"
Xiao Bieli finished his words in one breath, obviously he had been thinking about it for a long time. In fact, Chang Wei is also aware of the huge crisis hidden under the extraordinary calm of the rivers and lakes.
The strength of the Jin Ge Society and the Changkong Gang is too strong, and it is inevitable to weaken their power, but how the two families should fight this battle, and to what extent, Chang Wei has to calculate it one by one.
If the fight is big, the two families will become enemies of life and death, and they will not only shake the foundation of the entire martial arts and lose face to themselves, but also the Huzhou Gang hiding in the shadows is likely to take advantage of the situation to kill;
Moreover, Chang Wei's predecessor Deng Qi secretly supervised the rivers and lakes, and his singing and dancing were promoted for more than ten years, which inevitably had an impact on the newly appointed Chang Wei. As soon as he took office, the rivers and lakes were bloody, and it was easy for people to find an excuse to attack, although they were not afraid, but they would always damage their prestige.
Moreover, if this Jianghu war only involves people in the martial arts, Chang Wei does not have so many concerns, after all, the imperial court is happy to see these Jianghu men disappear from the world, but it can already be determined that it is Min Chengbi behind the Jin Ge Society, and then look at the methods of the Changkong Gang in Yangzhou Yingtian, there must be the government secretly helping.
If this war is not done well, it is very likely to shake the government and the opposition, and it is really not appropriate to make too many enemies at the moment when the new policy is being implemented.
Of course, if you can take advantage of the situation, the current situation may be more helpful for you to control the rivers and lakes, and the key is how to balance the strength of all parties.
"Don't always think that you have to calculate the number of other people's roads clearly, you can't figure it out if you want to, no one is Zhuge Liang! Even if Zhuge Liang is there, there is still a time when the street pavilion is lost!" Xiao Bieli obviously saw Chang Wei's thoughts, and said sharply: "Let me say, there is no perfect plan in this world, as long as you make one less mistake than others, the final victory is yours." Senior brother, don't look ahead and be reluctant to do anything, even if we don't do a good job, but how bad can it be? It's a big deal, let's go to the sea together, go to Siam, go to Dongying, go to America, the world is so big, where can't we find a place for our masters to eat? No matter how bad it is, let's go to be pirates, isn't your general's daughter-in-law originally mixed with the White Lotus Sect?"
Chang Wei's words made Chang Wei pause, and he couldn't help laughing: "Old Xiao, you came at such a good time!"
Xiao Farewell left the capital that night, and the plan he drew up required the cooperation of the Farewell Villa, so the sooner he went back, the better.
When Chang Wei secretly returned to the Changning Marquis Mansion, Qingluan and Ning Xin both looked at him in surprise - the sadness caused by the deaths of He Susu and Yunxian had been buried deep in Chang Wei's heart, and there was a high fighting spirit exuding from his body at the moment.
"Third brother, people like the way you are now, as if everything in heaven and earth has been trampled under your feet. Ning Xin threw herself into Chang Wei's arms and said with a smile.
"Just say this in the boudoir, if your emperor's brother hears it, your father-in-law's head will have to move. Chang Wei smiled and said, "However, I would be happy to hold you under my body and love you freely!" provoked the second daughter to endure the handsomeness.
Early the next morning, he asked the Manifestation Palace to do a grand water and land ceremony, and sent Yunxian as a concubine, followed by Lao Zhao Daliu.
A prince, two princes, several relatives, and more than a dozen brocade households attended Yunxian's funeral, and even God fulfilled his wish, and it rained lightly. Unzen did not enjoy wealth during his lifetime, but finally enjoyed mourning after his death.
Almost at the same time, Yuan Wenbi and He Susu turned into ashes in Puji Temple, Shuntianfu, Jinyiwei and the famous martial arts in the capital Bajimen head You Li, Daru Dart Bureau chief Xie Pu inspected the scene at the time, the three parties agreed that Yuan He and the two were the murderers of Yunxian, after killing the two Jinyi Wei Zhao and Liu who were pursuing them, they killed each other due to internal strife, and this conclusion has been reported to the Criminal Department for the record.
Of course, whether it is the deity Chang Wei or the doppelganger Li Long, they all concealed the identity of Yuan Wenbi as the son of Yuan Chonghuan, and completely treated him as an ordinary disciple of the Huashan faction, which is also normal, neither Lu Feibai in Jiangnan nor Jiang Kui in Jingshi said Yuan Wenbi's true identity, Lu Feibai is for confidentiality, Jiang Kui should not know.
Of course, even if Yuan Wenbi is dead, no one dares to retaliate in the bright light, the dignified Yuan Gongzi and the Jianghu figure Bai Zitong are based on it, and the face of Yuan Inspector will be disgraced if it is spread out, and if you want to retaliate, you can only come to the dark, but Chang Wei is even more afraid in this regard, and those people in the Huashan faction are not Chang Wei's opponents.
"Death is like a lamp going out!"
The crowd was almost dispersed, and Jiang Chi, who had been chattering beside Chang Wei about all the things that happened yesterday, was emotionally charged at this moment, while turning back to Xuanyu and explaining that he wanted to ask his master to do a Dharma trip, begging for blessings, and said to Chang Wei: "My fucking wife has been married for almost three years, but she didn't even give birth to a boy and a half girl.
Xuanyu responded, Chang Wei was stunned, and asked, "Didn't Xiao Zhenren go back to Longhu Mountain?"
Xuanyu grinned: "The family teacher's mana is superb, shrinking the ground into inches, and of course the dragon and tiger mountains in the capital city are going back and forth in an instant. 」
"There is such a magical power?!" Jiang Chi suddenly became interested, but Chang Wei secretly laughed, where in this world is there such a magical skill?! Since Xiao Lianyun did not return to Longhu Mountain at all, what he said to Yun and Yue that night was a lie.
"Could it be that he already knows the identities of Yun and Yue?" Chang Wei was secretly happy in his heart, and began to think about how he could approach this Taoist master without a trace.
