Earth Immortal Righteous Path

Chapter 139
The county seat, the Wang Family Courtyard.

In the back garden, a young man in a blue Confucian shirt leaned against the door, watching a few little maids bustling around in the garden with a smile on his face.

It rained last night, the soil is still moist, and most of the vegetation in the circle is also covered with water droplets.

The young man is seventeen or eighteen years old, with a square face, with edges and corners, upright and elegant, just the dream of the little maids.

"very nice……"

"I, Wang Shouye, really lived again!"

Feeling the warm sunshine again, and seeing familiar people and things, the young people are sincerely happy.

Last night, there was a lot of wind and rain, lightning and thunder, Wang Shouye woke up from his sleep, and it was already ten years ago.

"At this time, I was involved in the salt industry. I took a fancy to the Zhou family's share, and sent people to test it regardless of the severity. The result was retaliation."

"Calculate the time. At this time, the people I sent are already on their way back."

The young man bowed his head in deep thought, while the little maid who watched him giggled foolishly.

"The Zhou family announced that they had washed their hands and quit the salt industry within three years. It turned out that they had been selling salt roads one after another. It's ridiculous that I didn't know the truth and offended people again and again."

"The Zhou family has been operating for generations, and the roots are intertwined. They don't show much on weekdays. They just look like ordinary squires. In fact, there are eight or nine thousand desperadoes under their hands. The depth of hiding is really terrifying!"

"In my previous life, I just bumped into it head-on. I thought that if I climbed up to the captain, I would not be afraid of the Zhou family. Who knew that in the end, I ended up with no end. All the old and young were sold to mine... The mine is a place where people cannibalize, and as a result, they all died of exhaustion and illness within three years, and they didn't even see each other for the last time."

"I struggled and fled for three years. I was stigmatized. I didn't dare to enter the city. I was living in the wilderness. I was a savage, and I was a bandit..."

"It's a coincidence, and I have to live again. I can't repeat the same mistakes again. I have to think of a perfect way to get through this difficult time and save this family."

"There are many reasons for the decline of the Wang family. Offending the Zhou family is only the biggest reason on the surface. I have been investigating for three years, and I have only vaguely grasped one thread."

"It's just that it's all in the future, and the biggest disaster is about to come!"

The maid came to the young man with a handful of cut branches.

"Young Master, you have already taken all the flowers you asked for, but you want to put them in a vase?"

The young man finally raised his head, glanced at the maid who was close to him, and grabbed a peach blossom.

"Chuntao, bring me a bottle of flower dew. By the way, choose the mint osmanthus flavor."

He ordered casually.

The servant girl responded obediently and went to the cellar to find the stored flower dew.

Flower dew is a drink made from selected flower petals, steamed, squeezed, mixed with honey, mint, tea leaves, spices, and dew. He likes to drink something refreshing when he has nothing to do.

This kind of flower dew also has many flavors. There are flowers in four seasons, and the dew, rain, and snow are also different. After the preparation is made, it is either buried under the tree, or put into the cellar to be frozen. According to the different seasons, the final color is also different. Not really, I always mix up a lot of novel flavors in different ways. This kind of floral dew sells well in the neighboring provinces, and it is a property of the Wang family.

Wang Shouye walked slowly in the garden, stopping from time to time to sort out his thoughts carefully.

There is not much time left for him. After today, the Zhou family's suppression will come one after another. Whether to leave or stay, or to surrender and make amends, there must be a charter.

"There is still hope. The Zhou family didn't do everything right from the start."

"In Kaohua County, the Zhou family has established itself. Even the county captain is supported by the Zhou family. It's just that they don't show it at ordinary times, but everyone who should know knows it. My Wang family's foundation is too shallow, and it is difficult to move to this county. However, it has only been 30 years, a generation of work, and many things are only superficial, so they misjudged the situation."

"Out of this county, the Zhou family still has the possibility to intervene, but there is more room for me to maneuver around. It is best to just abandon this place and return to Jinling, my ancestral home. My branch and the Jinling royal family are also connected. When we arrived in Jinling It will be safe."

"This will temporarily avoid the Zhou family's attack and gain room for maneuver."

Although the Zhou family is powerful, it is only limited to one generation near Kaohua County. Wang Shouye really abandoned this family house and fled to Jinling, and the Zhou family could hardly reach out.

What's more, the Wang family and the Zhou family were not sworn enemies from the very beginning. Until now, they were just fighting in the business field, and there was a set of unspoken rules in it, so they had to leave room for each other.

There used to be great salt lords surnamed Hu and He who hated each other deeply and fought over business. Three generations down the line, almost wished to kill each other.

But even if Yanxiao Hu surnamed wins and completely defeats Yanxiao He surnamed, he dare not make a move in the end, and even comes forward to defend, send Cheng Yi to the pier to see him off in person, and save the last face for the other party.

For matters in the business field, one can only retaliate with the means of the business field.As long as the bottom line is not crossed, there is room for each other.

Wang Shouye's previous shots were disgusting, but they could also be counted as methods in the business field.

Even if the Zhou family retaliates, they will first find a place in the business field, so as not to harm the family.

In fact, if Wang Shouye himself was not willing to give in in the previous life, the Zhou family would have stopped, and they would not have been staring at him all the time, after all, the two sides are not on the same level.The Wang family is really too weak, while the Zhou family is a complete coward.

Therefore, Wang Shouye is more concerned about the context behind the destruction of the Wang family in the previous life. Compared with the Zhou family, which has traces on the surface, the black hands behind the scenes are more terrifying.

"I traced it vaguely, and the gang of thieves seems to be related to Jinling. Could it be that they are targeting the direct line of the Jinling royal family?"

As Wang Shouye thought about it, Chuntao's maid came over with a bottle of flower dew.

The bottle is small, with patterns on the blue background, it is made of pure wood, and the mouth of the bottle is a cork.

Pulling off the lid, white air came out from inside, but it was just warmed by the little maid.

"Well done, it should be warm today."

A bottle of floral dew pours a cup full of tea aroma, mint, floral, mixed with sweet honey, and there is a kind of aftertaste aroma - it is the aroma of cardamom produced in the sea, tasteless at first taste, the more The more fragrant the aftertaste, when mixed with other fragrances, it can retain all kinds of flavors and make people have endless aftertaste.

Wang Shouye returned the bottle to Chuntao confidently, and asked casually.

"Where did Aunt Xue go today?"

Aunt Xue came from a small family, and her family was a scholar, and she was a concubine in the second room, so she married into the Wang family as a concubine.

When Wang Shouye lost his father half a year ago, Aunt Xue became restless and refused to obey the rules and mourning. She was still dressed up and wandering around all day long, but Wang Shouye didn't pay much attention to her.

At this time, I just asked casually.
