The strongest Marquis in history

There is endless anger in my heart.

He will do everything in his power to make Wang Qi and Zhuge Feng regret, and let them know that he offended the Zhuge family. Although the Zhuge family is in decline, even though the Zhuge family is not as good as it used to be, in Nanyang County, the Zhuge family is still second to none. family.

Chapter 256 Invitation

After Wang Qi and Zhugefeng left Zhuge's house, they boarded the carriage and headed back to the county government office.

Zhuge Feng was sitting in the carriage with a serious expression on his face, and there was even a hint of sadness in his eyes.

After all, they are father and son.

When such a thing happened, it was in everyone's heart, and everyone felt uncomfortable.

Wang Qi said: "Brother, don't worry about the matter of Zhuge's family. I will make Zhuge Wuji regret it and ask him to apologize to you. Originally, I hoped that you and Zhuge Wuji would be fine if the two sides talked about things calmly. Now it seems , it’s impossible if you don’t make a move.”

Zhuge Feng said: "Second brother, regarding Zhuge's family, I..."

At this time, Zhuge Feng was actually contradictory.

On the one hand, he is hostile to Zhuge Wuji.

On the other hand, Zhuge's family is actually his root.It is impossible for him to give up Zhuge's family, let alone destroy Zhuge's family himself. This is a contradiction.

Seeing this scene, Wang Qi smiled and said: "Brother, leave the matter of dealing with Zhuge Wuji to me. My purpose is not to destroy the Zhuge family, but to let the Zhuge family, with you as the main one, let Zhuge Wuji know Everything he did was for nothing."

"I want to make him regret it."

"In short, you wait and see what happens, and you don't need to get involved in the next thing."

"I'm going to deal with the Zhuge family right now. First, let Zhuge Wuji apologize to you; second, because it involves the government, I will take the Zhuge family's land into the government's possession."

"Of course, the government will give compensation."

Wang Qi said: "Since then, all the land has been owned by the government. This is to divide the land for the common people to cultivate. After all, the entire land in Nanyang is controlled by the government, so there is no room for maneuver."

"I'll let you know about this in advance, so that you don't know."

"As for the next step, because the Zhuge family has no land, they also need to live, so on the one hand, they rely on you, and on the other hand, they are doing business. I will set aside some management rights, such as salt and iron management, etc., which will be run exclusively by the Zhuge family. .”

"Brother, what do you think?"

Wang Qi said: "If you think the second item is inappropriate, delete this item."

Zhugefeng shook his head and said: "Second brother, you can do it anyway. Between you and me, there is no need to do this. The land owned by the Zhuge family should be taken into the government's possession, so just do it. I support you unconditionally. I know you have big Be ambitious, go ahead and do it."

Wang Qi said: "Thank you, brother."

Zhuge Feng said: "There is no need to be polite between you and me. Since I am assisting you, I will do my best to support you."

Wang Qi nodded and said no more.

The carriage went straight back to the county government office, Zhuge Feng was busy with his affairs, Wang Qi immediately called Zhu Shanchang into the study to discuss matters.

Zhu Shan said: "The lord summoned me, what's the matter?"

Wang Qidao: "The reason why I called you here is to deal with Zhuge's family."

Speaking of this, Wang Qi directly explained how Zhuge Feng was humiliated by Zhuge Wuji, and also said that Zhuge Wuji was arrogant and self-righteous.

After a brief explanation of the matter, Wang Qi continued: "I'm going to deal with the Zhuge family right now. I want to make the Zhuge family regret it. I want Zhuge Wuji to come to apologize in person. In addition, all the land controlled by the Zhuge family is also It must be handed over."

Zhu Shanchang thought for a while, and said: "My lord, asking the Zhuge family to hand over the land they control is tantamount to cutting off the flesh of the Zhuge family. Such a situation may arouse Zhuge Feng's opposition."

"Zhuge Feng is the elder brother of the lord, and even the confidant of the lord."

"Nowadays, it might be inappropriate to ask the Zhuge family to give the land! In case any suspicion arises, at least it is not appropriate at the moment. My lord wants to take all the land into the government's possession, so there is no problem."

Zhu Shanchang said: "It's just that now, when we are still building a foundation, we can't do things that make our relatives hurt our enemies. For this benefit, it is absolutely not worthwhile to split ourselves."

Wang Qi smiled and said, "Brother, I've already got through with him, so you don't have to worry."

Zhu Shanchang said: "That's good."

Wang Qi asked: "What can you do to deal with Zhuge's family?"

Zhu Shanchang immediately replied: "The method is actually very simple, mobilize the army to surround Zhuge's family, and say that Zhuge's family has colluded with bandits, and wants the whole family to be arrested and imprisoned. At that time, some rumors will be released, saying that Zhuge Wuji caused it. People from Zhuge's family, Naturally, I will confess."

Wang Qi shook his head when he heard it, and said, "Your method is not appropriate, it is very troublesome, and there are many loopholes."

Zhu Shan said: "Humble and incompetent."

Wang Qi waved his hand and said, "Forget it, go ahead, I'll figure it out myself."

"Yes!"

Zhu Shanchang said no more, turned and left.

In terms of governing the local area, Zhu Shanchang has no problem.But Zhu Shanchang is still not very good at dealing with Zhuge's family, especially Zhuge Wuji.

Wang Qi pondered in his heart, and not long after, he ordered Su Lie to come in and ask Su Lie to inquire about the details of Zhuge's family.

After Su Lie agreed, he went to work.

Apply in the afternoon.

Su Lie came back and got the general information about the Zhuge family. The patriarch Zhuge Wuji, Zhuge Wuxing who is currently in power, and the rest of the Zhuge family elders sorted out the entire Zhuge family's context.

After Wang Qi finished reading, he had a plan in mind and called Su Lie in again.

Su Lie said: "Young Master, what orders do you have?"

Wang Qi said: "You go to Zhuge's house and ask Zhuge Wuxing to come over and say that I have an invitation to discuss something important."

"Yes!"

Su Lie turned around and went to deliver the order.

About two quarters of an hour, there was a knock on the door outside the study, and Su Lie's voice came in: "My lord, Zhuge Wuxing asks to see you."

"Please!"

Wang Qi gave an order.

The door creaked, and Zhuge Wuxing stepped in, saluting: "Grassman Zhuge Wuxing, I pay my respects to County Magistrate Wang."

Zhuge Wuxing was not much older than Wang Qi.When it comes to seniority, he is still Wang Qi's elder.In fact, before Zhuge Wuxing came, he had already heard from the people in the house about Wang Qi and Zhuge Feng visiting Zhuge's house together, and knew that there was a conflict.

For this matter, Zhuge Wuxing was helpless.

Zhuge Feng was willing to go home, and he was willing to take Wang Qi home for a visit. This was an excellent thing, and it was an excellent opportunity to ease the relationship between the two parties.Especially when Wang Qi took the initiative to visit, it was equivalent to establishing a line with the Wang family in Youzhou.

Unfortunately, Zhuge Wuji made a mess.Even Zhuge Wuji uttered nonsense, calling the royal family of Youzhou the barbarians of Youzhou, which made it clear that he was deliberately finding fault and provoking.

As a result, the relationship between the two parties is very stiff.

Under such a premise, Zhuge Wuxing was actually a little worried when he got Wang Qi's invitation, fearing that Wang Qi would make trouble.

After all, Wang Qi is the county magistrate of Nanyang, so he can be called the local emperor of Nanyang.Of course, the most important point is that the Zhuge family has no prominent presence in the court. Although the reputation is still there, the Zhuge family is now in decline.

If the Zhuge family really had a conflict with Wang Qi, the one who would suffer in the end must be the Zhuge family.

Chapter 257

Wang Qi nodded slightly, and said: "Uncle Zhuge, please sit down. My brother and I are bound to Jinlan. He is my brother, and you are my brother's uncle, and you are also my uncle. You don't have to be restrained."

Zhuge Wuxing felt relieved when he heard the words.

Originally, he was worried that Wang Qi would deal with Zhuge's family, but seeing Wang Qi's attitude towards him, there was obviously room for change.

Otherwise, not so.

Zhuge Wuxing said: "Speaking of which, Feng'er was able to become brothers with County Magistrate Wang because he was convinced. I also know something about County Magistrate Wang's deeds. County Magistrate Wang is so young, so young and promising, It is admirable, it can be said that a tiger father has no dog son."

Wang Qidao: "Uncle Zhuge praised it absurdly." '

Zhuge Wuxing changed the subject and said, "Magistrate Wang invited me, what's the matter?"

Wang Qi said: "I invite Uncle Zhuge to come, there are three things."

Zhuge Wuxing said: "Magistrate Wang, please tell me."

Wang Qi's expression became serious, he lost his smile, and became more murderous, and said in a deep voice: "First, I received a report from the people, saying that Zhuge's family had contacts with the bandit Zhai Feizhou, and that you were helping the evildoers and helping the evil spirits. Take Zhai Feizhou and seize Nanyang County."

Zhuge Wuxing immediately said: "Magistrate Wang, this is absolutely slander, there is absolutely no such thing. Zhuge's family is a scholarly family for generations, it is impossible to associate with bandits."

Wang Qidao: "Slander is not slander, you have to investigate clearly to find out. Second, some people reported that the head of the Zhuge family, Zhuge Wuji, was powerful and overbearing, and had brutally beaten to death the people of Nanyang County. Even, for the benefit of the Zhuge family , and even instigated people to smash and loot, specifically targeting people."

Zhuge Wuxing's heart skipped a beat.

This is impossible!

He is Zhuge Wuji's brother, and he knows Zhuge Wuji's behavior style very well.Zhuge Wuji was always self-proclaimed, and he valued his reputation very much, so it was impossible for him to kill the common people.

This is false accusation.

Zhuge Wuxing looked up at Wang Qi, and began to think in his heart.

If Wang Qi really wanted to deal with Zhuge's family, he could take people directly, or block Zhuge's family, there was no need to invite him alone.

However, he was invited to discuss the matter.

In particular, Wang Qi invited him, not Zhuge Wuji, the patriarch of the Zhuge family.

When Zhuge Wuxing thought of Zhuge Wuji's temperament, he suddenly felt that he understood.

It's Zhuge Wuji!

Wang Qi and Zhuge Feng went to visit Zhuge's house together, but were scolded by Zhuge Wuji.Now that Wang Qi did this, he obviously wanted to vent his anger on Zhuge Feng. He said he was dealing with Zhuge's family, but in fact he was dealing with Zhuge Wuji.

This is the key.

After Zhuge Wuxing figured it out, he didn't feel so flustered anymore, and asked, "Magistrate Wang, what's the third thing?"

Wang Qi said: "Thirdly, the Zhuge family is the largest family in Nanyang. However, the Zhuge family controls countless lands, causing the people to have no land to cultivate and it is difficult for them to survive. Countless people have been displaced because of this."

Zhuge Wuxing frowned, and explained: "Magistrate Wang, the Zhuge family is a good family. My Zhuge family has never caused the people to be displaced, and even helped the people to tide over the difficulties."

Wang Qidao: "These things, you have the final say, the people have the final say, the government has the final say. So right now, the Zhuge family has committed so many crimes. There are even some small problems, all about the Zhuge family. "

After a pause, Wang Qi said: "In my opinion, these and other problems in the Zhuge family are very inappropriate. The reason is all because of Zhuge Wuji, the head of the Zhuge family. Every day he is in power, the Zhuge family will not be at peace. "

Zhuge Wuxing understood better now.

After all, it was targeting Zhuge Wuji, which was provoked by Zhuge Wuji, so that Zhuge's family was targeted.

Zhuge Wuxing said: "Magistrate Wang, I understand the matter."

Wang Qi said: "What do you understand?"

Zhuge Wuxing said: "My Zhuge family will dismiss Zhuge Wuji as the Patriarch. Then, we will establish another Patriarch. The candidate for the new Patriarch is Zhuge Feng."

"Hahaha……"

After Wang Qi heard it, he laughed.

With an expression of approval on his face, he nodded and said, "Uncle Zhuge, you are a sensible person. I believe that Zhuge's family will get better and better under the leadership of Zhuge Feng."

Zhuge Wuxing said: "I also believe that Feng'er can lead the Zhuge family to the top."

Wang Qi's expression softened, and he said, "Uncle Zhuge, to say something unpleasant, the current Zhuge family doesn't even have a county guard, not even a county magistrate."

"Although the Zhuge family is still famous and has some strength in Nanyang County, Zhai Feizhou just forced the Zhuge family to leave Nanyang County and go into hiding, which is embarrassing."

"Is Zhuge's family like this one still a big family in the past?"

"too weak!"

Wang Qi sighed and said, "The current Zhuge family is too weak."

"Speaking of Zhuge Wuji, this person has a strong character, his eyes are high and his hands are low, and he looks down on everyone. He thinks my Wang family is a barbarian from Youzhou, and he looks down on my father and Wang Qi."

"But in this world, big fists are the last word. You are trying to catch your name and pretend to be noble, can you resist the attacks of bandits? Can your Zhuge family think that you can make Zhuge Feng break through to the master?"

"I can't do it!"

Wang Qi's words were sharp, and he said directly: "To put it bluntly, as long as the Zhuge family has a master, would a bandit like Zhai Feizhou dare to disrespect the Zhuge family?"

"If he dares to disrespect the Zhuge family, the master of the Zhuge family can assassinate him, and even assassinate his generals."

"This is the deterrent power of the master."
