Best luck

Chapter 2073

() "Father, it is very pitiful for the people on Ninth Street to suffer such a catastrophe. They managed to escape with their lives. We should rescue them, and how can we arrest them to take the blame. <-"" Warmth objected loudly Well, she has been holding this matter in her heart for several days, tomorrow is the deadline, and she can't delay it any longer, so she can only speak to Wen Tianzheng.

"I also sympathize with them, but there is nothing we can do about it. We can't afford to blame those aristocratic families. Since it was caused by the poor ghosts on Ninth Street, they have to bear it." dissatisfied with the requirements.

"They have nothing now, and to blame them is to let them die." Warm and helpless excuse.

"A group of poor ghosts died as soon as they died. Are there not many people who died these days? Besides, if they are not to be blamed, do you want me to track down the real culprit?" Wen Tianzheng became impatient.

Wen Qing has nothing to say. Everyone knows who the real culprit is. This is the biggest internal injury of the Wen family. They know that Wen Yi did it, but they can't hand it over. They even have to help Wen Yi cover it up. Once this matter is leaked No matter whether they handed over Wen Yi to please those clans, or protected Wen Yi to turn against the clans, it would be a devastating blow to the Wen family.

Handing over Wen Yi, the external pressure subsides, but it will make Wen Xiaotian furious. The capital under Wen Xiaotian's rule will definitely rebel, and his strength is not much weaker than Wen Tianzheng. As a result, it will be greatly reduced, and even second-rate families will not be able to keep it.

If you don't hand over Wen Yi, you can only find a scapegoat if you want to appease the public anger. The survivors on Ninth Street are undoubtedly the best candidates. They originally collected the deposit from the aristocratic family. Now that the bicycle cannot be produced, they have to be responsible.

Wen Tianzheng didn't care about these people's life or death, he only valued the benefits of their crimes, using them to quell public anger and keep Wen Yi's benefits is obvious, that is, to ensure the unity of the Wen family, and to get millions of taels of gold, and Afterwards, the vacant lot on Ninth Street can still sell for a lot of money, which is the best way to deal with it.

"But why do the old elves arrest them together? They have nothing to do with this matter." Wen Qing had to lower her requirements. She only had sympathy for the people on Ninth Street, but for the old elves, it was because of Liang Yong. Certain feelings, seeing the old elves being implicated by this, she felt very sorry, and even more worried that if this happened, she would completely turn against Liang Yong, and I was sorry for Liang Yong.

"They are the main parties involved, can we not arrest them? If Liang Yong hadn't run away, he would also be able to escape the guilt." Wen Tianzheng's face darkened and he scolded, which he showed more forcefully.

He also knew about this incident, and there was no possibility of reconciliation with Liang Yong. Before Wen Yi did this, he was actually greedy for the amazing wealth brought by bicycles. He had the same idea as Wen Yi, but seeing Han Fei and Fan Jinbao attached great importance to Liang Yong, and he hesitated, knowing that Liang Yong would definitely be recruited by Han Fei and the others into the Five Great Courts for further studies. Definitely a great thing.

But Han Fei and Fan Jinbao couldn't find Liang Yong for a few days afterwards, and the two mentors were so angry that they went outside the city to look for it. It is difficult for him to win over Liang Yong, Liang Yong's heart is not here at all.

Since it is not for the Wen family's use, it is better to strive for the best interests first, so when Wen Yi launched the looting of Ninth Street, Wen Tianzheng did not know it at all, and when Wen Yi came to visit afterwards, he also gladly accepted several million taels of gold He tried his best to cover up Wen Yi's crimes, and spared no effort to attack Liang.

The sadness of warmth lies in the fact that she knew that her father and Wen Yi had done something wrong, but as a member of the Wen family, she was powerless to object. She wanted to keep the old elves and the last contact with Liang Yong, but Wen Tianzheng With a ruthless rejection, for the sake of her family, she could only cut off her vague affection for Liang Yong, unable to change everything.

Zijin City became lively again. This morning, tens of thousands of people gathered in the arena, but it was not as joyful as the previous competition. None of the family members, commoners or even wealthy businessmen in Fengdu City came. What happened on Ninth Street was covered up tightly, and the local people could still learn the truth from the gossip.

Tens of thousands of people were massacred overnight. They knew that the Wen family did it, but they dared not speak out. Naturally, they dared not come to today's conference. God knows if it will be another disaster. Massacre is too uneconomical.

The announcement of the matter has not yet been released, but the aristocratic families present already know the content. Someone from the Wen family has sent an announcement letter before, and the results of the investigation on this matter are all included. The main purpose of coming to the scene today is not to listen to the Wen family's explanation, but to It is to recover the losses, or to put it more directly, to share the spoils.

Naturally, Wen Tianzheng would not send back the gold he got, and besides, he had burned several million taels of gold, and they would not be able to pay it back, but he had chips in his hand, and everyone who escaped from Ninth Street was arrested When they came back, there were nearly 4000 people in total. They were not only used to take the blame, they were also chips, and they would be treated as slaves to compensate the clans.

Although manpower is not worth much in the fairy world, 4000 strong labor can still be worth several 10 taels of gold.

Wen Tianzheng's calculation was very good. I found out the result of the incident. It was because of the negligence of the people on Ninth Street that caused a fire, which not only burned down Ninth Street, but also destroyed the bicycle factory. Of course, this loss cannot be matched by the Wen family. To be responsible, it can only be borne by people like Ninth Street. Aren’t you a joint-stock company? You shareholders will naturally have to compensate for all losses when the company goes bankrupt.

It's just that Wen Tianzheng didn't expect that although these aristocratic families had no intention of finding out the truth, they would not give in to their losses. The mere compensation of 10 taels of gold was just a drop in the bucket for their losses. Naturally, they would not be reconciled. So they set their sights on the vacant land left by Ninth Street. It used to be a shanty town and was not well developed, but it was a bustling area in the city center. After the overall reconstruction, it is definitely a commercial center with every inch of land.

The remaining people on Ninth Street became their slaves, and the land became ownerless, and they were confiscated as compensation. Although it could not fully make up for the huge loss of 1500 million taels of gold, considering The commercial value in the future will still be able to recover this property in the near future.

Facing the request of the aristocratic family, Wen Tianzheng was a little unwilling, but he could not resist if he wanted to. These people are not easy to mess with. It can be seen that taking land is their bottom line. If they disagree, they will turn their faces and things will be even more difficult. .

After thinking about it for a few minutes, Wen Tianzheng had no choice but to accept their request. Although the land was valuable, it hadn't been developed yet, and it was still a piece of waste soil. It would take a lot of money to build it back, and the effect would be long. If you invest in the past, you can also build well. You don’t need to invest in the early stage, and you can still collect taxes in the future. Although the income is less, it will not be so bad.
