Chapter 107 A secret contest!

Zhao Ce had a hot temper, but Wei Ning ignored him and calmly asked Uncle Li to go back and sign the land transfer contract with Marquis Yingyin.

This incident itself is not a big deal, but it is a very special thing in Lantian's powerful circles.

There are no secrets in the upper class circles, not to mention that Weining is still a newly promoted powerful person.

Weining's status is not low, and he is only one step away from becoming a marquis.

The only marquis in Lantian County is Yingyin Hou Guanqiang. The other dignitaries either received titles from Enyin or performed meritorious service on the battlefield.

But no matter what, their status must not be as high as Wei Ning's.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will blow it.

Although Weining is usually very low-key, it is inevitable that he will arouse jealousy. The fact that you have achieved such a distinguished status at such a young age makes them jealous.

When the Yingyin Marquis of Lantian and the chief concubine had a conversation over a village commoner, every move of both parties was watched.

They all wanted to see who would bow down in this conversation.

It seems like a trivial matter, but it is related to the status struggle between the old and new powerful people.

Everyone has a reason to win.

Guan Qiang wants Wei Ning to bow his head, so as to declare that in this Lantian, he is still the leader of the top power circle.

This is about status and dignity.

Weining also wanted to fight back. As a great concubine, he had never established authority. He understood the truth that he didn't understand before.

It does not mean that if you gain a distinguished status, you will definitely be able to live well in this society.

No one will take you seriously until you show your absolute strength.

This is not an open fight, but a secret competition for power.

The common people had no idea that a competition for strength was brewing in Lantian, and very few people knew about it.

In fact, it is like this in every dynasty. In the end, the poor people see only one result. They don't know how cruel the struggle is, and they only get a result.

When Lao Li returned to the village and signed the contract to sell the land at a low price to the Guan family, the Lantian elite circle was in an uproar.

No one expected such a result.

They had been looking forward to it for a long time. They thought that the chief concubine of Lantian would fight back. They were also waiting to see how Wei Ning would fight back and how he would fight Yingyin Hou.

But they never expected that just so quietly...Weining gave in!

Some people think Wei Ning is too cowardly.

Some people think that Weining's choice is correct. He has such forbearance and mind at such a young age, and his future will be limitless!
Both sides have different views on Weining, but there is no doubt that from a consequential perspective, Weining bowed to Guan Qiang.

Guan Qiang's prestige in Lantian was pushed to its absolute peak because of this incident.

Lantian County, Hou Mansion.

The steward came to Guan Qiang with the contract and said with a smile: "Master Marquis, if the other party signs it, those ten acres of fertile land are ours."

Guan Qiang said, not showing much interest in this. Before he made a move, the other party gave in. It was boring.

But as it should be.

A great concubine with no power or connections, really thinks that with a title, he can gain a firm foothold in this circle?

Having a title is only the first step. It is just a stepping stone for you to enter the circle of powerful people. It does not mean that you will have a firm foothold in the powerful circle of the Han Dynasty.

"Put the contract away."

Guan Qiang waved his hand, signaling the steward to leave.

The steward hurriedly said: "Master Marquis, several nobles have sent us greeting cards and want to invite you to dinner."

Guan Qiang made a sound and said, "You can screen them and take a look."

If his status is not enough, he may not go to the banquet. …

Chang'an, Weiyang Palace.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was having lunch when a forbidden soldier came over and cautiously said to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "Your Majesty, there is something wrong with Chief Wei."

After he left Qianshui Village with Dong Zhongshu that day, he placed many eyes and ears in Lantian to keep an eye on Weining's every move, just to be afraid that his eldest son would be bullied outside.

Of course, he was not afraid of being bullied by force. According to Weining's current martial arts skills, anyone who dared to use force to attack him would be the only one who was crazy.

But there will be other means if the guarantee is not complete.

He is still young, still young, and does not yet know the complexity of the human heart.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty frowned and glanced at the Imperial Guards, and said, "Say."

The Forbidden Army informed Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty of what happened in Lantian in the past two days.

After hearing this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty frowned even deeper. He put down his rice bowl and tapped the document with his right hand rhythmically, his face uncertain.

"Hou Yingyin..."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty murmured to himself, with a murderous look in his eyes.

It's true that he is the emperor, but he also has constraints. He can't touch a marquis without sufficient reasons.

When he killed Zhao Chunli in Dingxiang, he used despicable and dirty methods because he was afraid of backlash.

The world is not peaceful yet, and the seven vassal kings are still ready to take action. Any excuse may cause thunder within the Han Dynasty.

The sound of knocking resounded rhythmically through the hall, making people panic.

He was a little confused and couldn't understand Weining's actions.

It stands to reason that Wei Ning is not a person who is afraid of trouble. He even dares to contradict me, the emperor. How can he be afraid of a marquis?
So why did he take the initiative to admit defeat?
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty couldn't figure out what Wei Ning was doing, but he intuitively felt that Wei Ning must have other things to do, and the matter was not over yet.

"A trip out of the palace."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered the imperial army, and then led his eunuchs directly out of Weiyang Palace.

He did not go to Lantian, but walked around not far outside the palace until he arrived at an unfinished house.

"Go and call Zongzheng Da Nong, Lu Chongguo!" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said indifferently.

Not long after, Zongzheng Danong ordered Lu Chongguo to arrive in front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and salute respectfully.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty pointed at him and said sternly: "I asked you to start building the palace of the great concubine. It's been three months, right?"

"Still not finished?"

"Behead all the craftsmen involved in the construction!"

Lu Chongguo was sweating coldly.

"I also beheaded the officials responsible for supervising this matter!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said coldly and turned to leave.

Zongzheng Da Nong ordered Lu Chongguo to be left with a shocked look on his face.

Just because of the delay in the construction of Wei Dashu's house, the emperor wanted to kill so many people?

What is the origin of this great concubine Wei?The emperor actually valued it so much? !
Yes, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is helping Weining, and this matter will soon spread among the upper circles.

He has such deep scheming and the city government wants to support Weining. There is no need to say it clearly. As long as he kills a few people, others will know how much he values ​​the Han Dynasty, and thus secretly raise Weining's status!

There is only so much that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty can do to help Weining for the time being, but Marquis Yingyin has no intention of letting him go, and there is still little chance.

He was also very curious about what other tricks Wei Ning had in store. Wei Ning would not stop just like that. This was not his character!Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is sure!
