Chapter 139

"Brother Wang, if your lord's notice is posted, the Wang family will probably not let it go." After leaving Lin Xiqi's study, Chen Changjie said worriedly, "My lord's life is in jeopardy."

"Old Chen, you and I should stop worrying about this, adults know what they are doing," Wang Dong said.

"Brother Wang, I know you have a lot of experience and knowledge. Did you see something and remind me?" Although Chen Changjie didn't know Wang Dong's past very well, he could also know that Wang Dong must have some identity in the past.

"I can't tell." Wang Dong said, "I just think that this adult is not very old, but he is not simple."

"Do you think the Wang family has nothing to do with your lord?" Chen Changjie asked.

"Let's wait and see." Wang Dong chuckled lightly, then patted Chen Changjie on the shoulder and said, "Old Chen, if we don't want to live like this again, this lord may be our hope. Let's not talk about it." Now, I have to hurry to recruit people, the county government must look like a county government."

Seeing Wang Dong rushing away, Chen Changjie was stunned.

He has known Wang Dong for more than ten years, and he has never seen Wang Dong so energetic.

"It seems that this lord is really extraordinary." Chen Changjie thought to himself, "Then I will wait and see."

He thought about how this lord came to take office alone, which is not something ordinary people can do.

After Chen Changjie posted the notice that Lin Xiqi said, the people in the city couldn't help talking about it.

In their view, such notices are of no use at all.

Isn't the Wang family going their own way?
A county magistrate doesn't even have a few yamen servants under his command. How can he fight against a force like the Wang family?

The Wang family randomly pulled out some servants, and the number was ten times and a hundred times that of the government servants.

Wang family.

"Master, this is a notice from the new magistrate." Steward Wang rushed into the study with a piece of paper.

"What are you panicking about?" Wang He said flatly, "What did the notice say?"

Wang He, the head of the Wang family, is about sixty years old, with a ruddy complexion and full of energy.

"Master, the content is all on this piece of paper." Steward Wang handed over the paper respectfully.

Wang He glanced at it, then threw the paper on the ground, and said with a sneer: "The new official takes office three fires!"

"That's right, master, the new magistrate is just a teenage boy, and he doesn't know what his background is." Wang Butler said.

"I've already sent someone to inquire about it. He spent a million taels from the county guard to get this position." Wang He said, "At first, I discussed with Liushamen that I wanted to help our people get on the horse, but then I gave up. .”

"Master, we can still afford one million taels of silver, why give up?" Wang Butler asked.

"Of course one million taels is affordable, and it's nothing. But it's not worth spending a million taels for such a county magistrate." Wang He smiled and said, "A county magistrate usually only lasts five years. It can be spent on them for five to sixty thousand taels for five years. It doesn't matter if they are our people or not."

"Yes, yes, what the master said is true." Butler Wang said hastily.

This was the case with these magistrates before, no matter who they are, it has no effect on their Wang family.

"Master, I'm just afraid that this kid is a stupid young man." Wang Butler said, "Do we have to think of a countermeasure? I'm afraid this kid has some background."

"It's okay." Wang He waved his hand and said, "These are trivial matters, so what if they have some background? This is our land. There is still a major matter right now, and it won't be too late to deal with this kid after this matter is settled."

"Yes, please tell the master." Wang Butler said.

"Ji's family, the capital's 'traffic company', just received a letter." Wang He said.

"What did the Ji family say?" Steward Wang asked hastily.

"I hope we can help them with one thing." Wang He said, "You immediately contact Wang Long, Wang Hu, and Wang Bao, and tell them to pay attention to the 'Tianhe Company' in the near future. Once they find it, they will rob it immediately and don't let it go one person."

"Tianhe firm?" Steward Wang asked in a daze, "Is that one of the four major firms in the capital?"

"Yes and no, 'Tianhe Company' used to be one of the four major companies, but now it has declined." Wang He shook his head and said.

"Master, is that 'Tongxing Company' planning to annex 'Tianhe Company'?" Wang Butler asked.

"Basically, our Wang family managed to get online with the Ji family. This matter must be done well. The future development in the capital will depend on the support of the Ji family." Wang He said.

"Master, are you planning to set up a family business in the capital?" Wang Butler asked.

"I can't help it, the three caves of the cunning rabbit. We have a good relationship with the Liushamen, but the Liushamen is now in full swing, and the Chiyan faction can't last long. Dunhuang County will soon be their world." Wang He said.

"Isn't that a great thing for us?" Steward Wang asked a little puzzled.

Their royal family has a very good relationship with Liushamen, and if Liushamen gains power, they will benefit more.

"Prosperity and decline." Wang He said, "Our Wang family may reach its peak because of Liushamen, but Liushamen has completely controlled Dunhuang County. Will they allow our Wang family? We have to guard against it."

"My lord is far-sighted," Wang Butler said.

"Let the three of them handle this matter quickly." Wang He said, "Also, Gao Huzi and Wu Duyan will also inform us that as long as they cooperate with us this time, each family will give 5 taels of benefits afterwards. .”

"Yes, I'll do it now," Wang Butler said.

Gao Huzi and Wu Duyan are the other two forces among the five robbers.

Although they do not belong to the Wang family, they also have many cooperations with the Wang family.

"My lord, are you alone?" Chen Changjie asked Lin Xiqi.

"Why is he alone?" Lin Xiqi laughed, pointed to Xiaohu who was lying on the side and sleeping soundly, and said, "Isn't there him?"

Chen Changjie said with a speechless smile: "My lord, the students don't mean that. The students mean that the adults must be served by someone. Now the county government office is full of yamen servants with rough hands and feet, and they really can't serve the adults."

"Then go find some servants." Lin Xiqi said.

"Students go to do it, because they are afraid that the ones they find will not suit the adults." Chen Changjie said, "My lord, there are places in the city where servants are bought and sold. Why don't you choose a few by yourself?"

"Human trading?" Lin Xiqi frowned.

"My lord, there is no other way." Chen Changjie sighed, "Some people really can't survive, and they sell their sons and daughters for the sake of their survival. This is the way of the world."

Lin Xiqi nodded and said, "Okay, I happen to be free today, let's go and have a look together."

After finishing speaking, Lin Xiqi patted Xiaohu and said, "Don't sleep, go for a walk."

Xiaohu jumped on Lin Xiqi's shoulder with sleepy eyes, then closed his eyes again, and dozed off on his shoulder.

After a while, Chen Changjie took Lin Xiqi to a market.

Lin Xiqi watched people coming in and out here from time to time, many of them seemed to be stewards of wealthy families, most of these people came here to pick out some servants.
