The strongest Marquis in history

When Xun Zhen, Chen Mou and others left, they saluted Wang Qi and said goodbye to Zhu Chen.Everyone's tone of conversation with Zhu Chen has changed, and many people directly invite Zhu Chen to drink tea.

In short, it's different.

Zhu Chen watched the crowd leave, he stood up, bowed and said, "My lord, thank you so much."

Wang Qi hurriedly helped Zhu Chen up, and said, "Mr. Zhu, you've broken me. Shanchang has worked for me in the local area, and he has worked hard for me. I am passing through Yangzhai County now, and I know about the Zhu family's affairs. How can I not help him?" Solve your worries."

After a pause, Wang Qi said again: "You are always here in Yangdi County. If you always want to, you can go to Linzi, Qingzhou to take a look. You can even move your family to Linzi. In short, you can do it yourself."

Zhu Chen said: "I understand."

Wang Qi got up and said, "Okay, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first. Take my leave."

Zhu Chen personally sent Wang Qi out of the house, and then went straight back to the ancestral hall in the backyard.He came in front of the ranking of the ancestors of the Zhu family, lit incense tremblingly, then knelt down in front of the mourning hall, talking in a rambling manner.

Talking about the unicorn in the Zhu family, and the words that the Zhu family has finally risen after being silent for many years.

When the old man spoke, he expressed his condolences and shared the good news with his ancestors, so that the Zhu family's ancestors and ancestors' spirits in heaven could protect Zhu Shanchang and keep Zhu Shanchang safe and sound, so that nothing would go wrong.

After Zhu Shanchang said something, he got up and went to his backyard.

At his age, he has long been flattered.Although there was a brief moment of joy, he quickly regained his composure. What he should do, what he still does, will not be affected at all.

Chapter 450

In the north of the city, the hall of the Xun family.

Xun Zhen sat on the main seat, his face slightly gloomy.

Chen Mou and the other patriarchs of the Yingchuan clan sat down one by one, with solemn expressions on their faces.When they thought of the scene at Zhu's house, they felt agitated and felt a little uncomfortable.

The atmosphere in the hall is also somewhat dignified.

A person, very uncomfortable.

call! !

After a long time, Xun Zhen let out a long breath and said, "Everyone, no matter what, we still have to face the reality now. The Zhu family has risen, and Wang Qi has obviously become popular again. Now, we need to discuss countermeasures."

Chen Mou echoed: "Yes, we should think about countermeasures. At the beginning, we thought that Wang Qi was backed by the East Palace, and he was also the identity of the royal family of Youzhou, so even though he was the county magistrate at that time, we also gave money and food support. .”

"It's just that at that time, that is, making a good relationship, I didn't have any ideas."

"I don't think Wang Qi can be so powerful."

Chen Mou sighed, and said, "We have come to this point in a short period of time. Under the current situation, we must consider countermeasures. We can't hate Wang Qi anymore, and even the relationship with the Zhu family must be improved. "

Guo Huai, the newly appointed head of the Guo family in Yingchuan, said: "Before, our big families joined forces to plot against Zhu Chen's son Zhu Zhi. Although there was no leak of information about this matter, there was no clue left. The problem is Zhu Chen is scheming, and the casino has something to do with us, so he must be vigilant and have some ideas. This matter needs to be resolved!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone lamented.

I regret it very much.

At the beginning, when they agreed on a strategy to help Wang Qi, most of them agreed to only give money and food. Only Zhu Chen contacted Wang Qi in private and asked Zhu Shanchang to work for Wang Qi.

The big families didn't like this matter, so they gradually alienated Zhu Chen.

He even plotted against Zhu Zhi.

"quiet!"

Xun Zhen slapped the desk and shouted loudly.

Among all people, he has the highest prestige.As soon as he spoke, everyone's arguing stopped.A pair of eyes looked at Xun Zhen again, waiting for Xun Zhen to express his opinion.

Xun Zhen said in a deep voice: "What should have happened has already happened, and it is useless to talk about it. What we have to discuss is not what happened in the past. Regret is useless. What we have to consider is how we should deal with it next."

"Each of us expresses his own opinion, each talking about how to fix this matter, and then we can no longer fall behind, we must ask for benefits. Zhu's family can't get all the benefits."

Everyone nodded, a look of approval.

After Chen Mou thought for a while, he said, "We must let Zhu Chen do things for us, we must let Zhu Chen stand with us. First, about the casino matter, we should pick ourselves out, then apologize, and let Zhu Chen deal with it. Two, from today onwards, the Yingchuan family will respect the Zhu family, let the Zhu family stand at the forefront, and let Zhu Chen lead us."

brush!

Xun Zhen's complexion changed slightly.

This matter is to seize his power, because now the Xun family is the main one.

Xun Zhen looked over, but he didn't express his opinion for the time being.

After Chen Mou's words fell, Guo Huai followed closely, "In view of the current situation, I agree with Patriarch Chen's consideration. Patriarch Xun, we are not disrespecting you now."

"In the hearts of all of us, you are the big brother, the elder brother."

"All of us recognize you in our hearts. It's just that the situation is pressing, so now, we need your cooperation for the time being. When our big families develop, naturally we don't have to worry about Zhu Chen."

Chen Mou looked like comforting Xun Zhen.

"Yes, yes, that's what it means. In our hearts, Patriarch Xun is our leader."

There are people who agree.

The rest of the individuals expressed their opinions one after another.The general idea is the same as Guo Huai's, saying that he still trusts Xun Zhen in his heart, still regards Xun Zhen as the big brother, and still regards Xun Zhen as the leader.

When Xun Zhen heard what these people said, his expression was a little cold.

A little more indifference.

The reason is very simple, approaching now, the Zhu family has become a big trend, and it is impossible to stop it.Therefore, everyone expressed their opinion at this moment, thinking that Xun Zhen should abdicate to let the virtuous, and Zhu Chen should be the master.

Xun Zhen knew that the general situation was like this, and he couldn't change it, so he said: "I have no objection to asking Zhu Chen to take charge of the overall situation. After all, everything we do is for the Yingchuan clan."

Chen Moudao: "Patriarch Xun's lofty integrity is admirable."

Guo Huai also opened his mouth to praise.

A group of people, but also a bunch of flattery without any nutrition.

Xun Zhen said again: "Now Zhu Chen is asked to preside over the overall situation, but we have one more thing right now. That is, we want people from all major families to follow Wang Qi, divide up some of the benefits, and seek benefits. Then at the moment , I have to ask Zhu Chen to come forward, I mean, go to see Zhu Chen early tomorrow morning, and ask Zhu Chen to come forward."

Chen Mou shook his head and said: "It can't be delayed until tomorrow, it has to be arranged immediately. Otherwise, it will take a long time, and Wang Qi will leave for Chang'an tomorrow morning. Things will be difficult to handle then."

"At today's banquet, because we teamed up to deal with Zhu Chen, Wang Qi's words clearly meant beating. Although Wang Qi is thanking us on the surface, he is also targeting us."

Chen Mou said in a deep voice: "So at the moment, we must hurry up."

Xun Zhen said: "In that case, let's set off earlier. Let's go see Zhu Chen now."

Chen Mou said: "It's not appropriate to go now. In case we go now, Wang Qi is chatting with Zhu Chen. How can we mention what happened in front of Wang Qi. So wait for a while, and then go to visit later."

Xun Zhen said: "Yes!"

Chen Mou and others put forward their own ideas again, talking about things related to Zhu Chen.

About half an hour later, a group of people left hand in hand, and went to the west of the city to visit Zhu Chen again.

When they arrived at Zhu's house, Zhu Chen met Xun Zhen and others in the living room.He was very surprised, and said: "You all come to visit together, and you are here late at night. I don't know what's going on?"

Xun Zhen took the initiative and said, "Brother Zhu, we are here this time for two main things."

"The first thing I want to do is to apologize to you. About your family's Zhu Zhi, he gambled in the casino and lost a lot of money. The shopkeeper behind the casino came to us and asked about our attitude."

"But we left ourselves out, saying that it has nothing to do with us, and that your Zhu family has lost too much money."

"This matter is something we did wrong. We shouldn't ignore it. Anyway, the Yingchuan family is connected with each other. We shouldn't ignore it, but let our nephew go. "

Xun Zhen said: "So now we are taking the initiative to ask for your sins, hoping to find your forgiveness. After all, we all live in the same place, and we don't see each other when we look up. Please look at the old feelings and let the past go."

His words directly changed.

Turn the casino croupier into asking, not their active involvement.

This is taking yourself out.

Zhu Chen has lived a long time, how can he not understand the truth.Of course, Zhu Zhi likes to gamble, and this thing also exists.It's just being calculated by others, which led to such a deep sinking and such a miserable situation.

Zhu Chen smiled and said: "It's all a thing of the past, and I learned a lot from it. My son is now reformed, repentant, and no longer addicted to gambling. To a certain extent, I want to thank you all."

He said it easily, but Xun Zhen and others were nervous.

Say so.

Actually?

Xun Zhen sighed, and said: "Brother Zhu, we deeply regret what happened to the Zhu family. Regarding the money and property that the Zhu family compensated in the past, our major families will bring these back together, as well as the old house of the Zhu family. , and take it back together, and hand it over to Brother Zhu. Even the people in the casino will be dealt with together."

Zhu Chen said, "No need, it's pretty good now."

Xun Zhen frowned even more.

Under the current circumstances, it would be quite disadvantageous for them if Zhu Chen did not let go.

Xun Zhen said: "Brother Zhu, we have good intentions."

Zhu Chen stroked the gray beard under his chin, and said with a smile: "It's a trivial matter, it's nothing to worry about. If the money is gone, it will come back naturally. What's more, my grandson is in charge of Qingzhou, and he follows Mr. Wang, so he has a bright future. Industry, not worth mentioning."

"Yes, yes, Brother Zhu is right."

There was a smile on Xun Zhen's face.

Although he was displeased, at the moment, he still couldn't hide his aggrieved heart.

Zhu Chen is putting on too much.

What does it mean for a grandson to rule Qingzhou?

What does it mean to follow Wang Qi?And a little floating wealth and industry.

Xun Zhen could only pull himself together, and he continued: "Brother Zhu, the second thing involved is that the child who is good at growing up now has become a climate, and he is getting better and better. We are all happy for him."

"Now that he has risen, look, can you let Shanchang lead the young people of our families, let the young people of our families also go to work under Shanchang's command, and experience it."

"In addition, our people can also follow Mr. Wang. Because brother Zhu is closer to Wang Qi in this respect, we want to ask brother Zhu to connect and help us."

Xun Zhen looked helpless, and said: "Brother Zhu, now that troubled times are approaching, it is not easy for the major families to survive. Please help me."

Chen Mou said: "Brother Zhu, please help us because we are all from Yingchuan. The big families are in decline and it is not easy to survive. Especially in business, it is difficult to survive due to the impact of the war. for the continuation."

Guo Huai also said: "Brother Zhu, all the big families in Yingchuan are united in the same spirit. Please, because of the past, you can give us a helping hand and help us."

The rest of the people spoke one after another.

All of them had pleading looks on their faces.

After Zhu Chen saw it, his heart felt extremely happy. He stroked the beard under his jaw and put on airs.

He looked at the anxious faces, and then thought about the old days when he was squeezed out by the big families, and even his son was tricked, so he had to sell the family property and the ancestral house, and came to live in the west city again.

Now all this bad breath has finally been vented, and my heart is finally at ease.

In his heart, Zhu Chen originally wanted to refuse immediately.It is impossible for him to harm Wang Qi or cause trouble for his grandson for these people.When he was about to refuse, at this moment, an idea suddenly came to his mind, maybe he could help Wang Qi, and he could count these big families.

This is a great opportunity!

After Zhu Chen thought it over, he said, "As for this matter, everyone, I can't make decisions on my own. I'm going to see Mr. Wang, but it depends on Mr. Wang's decision whether it will be successful or not."

call! !

Xun Zhen let out a sigh of relief.

There was a touch of joy on his face.

It's done!

At last it was a good thing that they lowered their faces and looked like they were begging.

Xun Zhen said: "Brother Zhu, thank you very much. We have already discussed it. From then on, you are the leader of our entire Yingchuan family and the one who calls the shots."

Chen Mou agreed: "With Brother Zhu here, our Yingchuan family will definitely get better and better in the future."

Guo Huai said: "Yes, it will get better and better."

One by one kept talking, all flattering words, all to curry favor with Zhu Chen.You must know that the current Zhu Chen is the hope in everyone's eyes, and he has a golden thigh, so he must hug the Zhu family.

Zhu Chen said: "Everyone, you wait here. I will go to visit Mr. Wang immediately. I guess I will come back very late, so I need you to wait."

Xun Zhen smiled all over his face and said, "It's okay, we're fine anyway."

The rest of the people spoke one after another.

Everyone's expressions are the same, with expectations in their eyes.

Zhu Chen took his leave and left, went to change his clothes, and went to the inn where Wang Qi stayed.Fortunately, when Wang Qi left, he said where he lived.Otherwise, Zhu Chen would have no way of finding Wang Qi tonight.
