I'm the villain in the book

"Zhang San, show it to Mr. Chen for a good look!"

"Ah! No, no need! I, I see clearly!"

A scream sounded out.

"It's the head of a dog!"

"The box, the box is indeed a dog's head!!"

Chapter 215 Wishing all adults, smooth sailing!

In ancient times, Zhao Gao "referred to a deer as a horse", and today there is Wei Changtian, "referring to a human head as a dog's head".

Although Chen Zhong and the others didn't know the allusion of turning black and white, they were undoubtedly terrified by the sudden appearance of a human head.

Amidst the echoes of "the box is indeed a dog's head", all the officials in power in Shuzhou, whether they like it or not, finally expressed their allegiance to Wei Changtian and vowed to fight the "evil" Liu family to the end.

So far, in just half a month, Wei Changtian, who has no official position, has become the local emperor of Shuzhou, directly or indirectly gathering all the rights of the five cities and eight counties in the territory of Shuzhou.

Of course, this right still has some restrictions.

For example, if Wei Changtian really wanted to rebel, Liang Zhen probably wouldn't agree unless others told him.

But he didn't have such a big appetite.

The reason why Wei Changtian made up his mind to control Shuzhou was firstly for his own safety, and secondly to leave a way out for the entire Wei family.

In case the Liu family really gains power in the future, if it is impossible, they can withdraw to this southwest corner and start again.

"Notify Chu Xianping to go to the same boat meeting."

After giving Zhang San an order, Wei Changtian got into the carriage shortly.

Now that Shuzhou has been decided, it is time to continue to make a more far-reaching layout.

......

Changle Casino.

After several months of renovation, this not-so-big gambling shop has become the headquarters of the "Team in the Same Boat Club" organized by Erwuzi.

More than 30 underground darkrooms with different functions are connected by intricate tunnels, and the combined area is even several times larger than the gambling houses on the ground.

The first batch of [-] "professional undercover agents" has been training here for nearly two months, and now it's finally time to test their results.

"My lord, this is the roster of their real identities."

Standing in front of thirty people with different clothes, looks, and demeanors, Chu Xianping handed over a booklet, exactly thirty pages.

"Um......"

Wei Changtian took the booklet and flipped through a few pages, then asked casually, "Who else has read this booklet?"

"All of them were compiled and transcribed by myself."

Chu Xianping replied: "Other than that, no one knows."

"Okay... Zhang San, read it again."

Wei Changtian nodded, and handed the roster to Zhang San, while he turned his gaze to the other side.

Thirty people, 28 men and two women.

This is really not bad for my "gender discrimination". The main reason is that these people will immediately go to various yamen in the capital to take office, and there are very few women as officials, which is why the current male-to-female ratio is caused.

At this time, the 30 people were staring at him in unison, their eyes full of loyalty almost like worship.

I don't know if it's because of taking the Puppet Pill, or because Chu Xianping has done a good job of brainwashing.

"Young master, I remember."

Soon, Zhang San handed the roster back to Wei Changtian, and Wei Changtian didn't even open it again, and directly handed it back to Chu Xianping.

"..."

The latter glanced at Zhang San, and there seemed to be some surprise in his eyes.

But he didn't ask anything, and after putting the roster in his sleeve, he said in a deep voice to the people opposite:

"This is Mr. Wei, and also your master."

"Tomorrow you will go to the capital to take office, Mr. Wei came here specially to see you off today."

"Pour wine!"

With an order, the 30 people raised the wine jar in unison and poured a full bowl of wine into the porcelain bowl in front of them.

Zhang San also held up the altar winkingly and poured a bowl for Wei Changtian and Chu Xianping.

"Ah."

After taking the wine bowl, Wei Changtian shook his sleeves, knowing that it was time for him to say a few words.

But what can I say?

Hey...the part of "Infernal Affairs" is still coming!

After pondering for a moment, he took a step forward, and a calm voice slowly sounded in everyone's ears.

"Half a year ago, during the battle between Liu and Wei, the servant girl who had been with me for many years was slapped and injured by the gangsters sent by the Liu family, and her life was at stake."

"My father went to the palace to ask for medicine, but the emperor refused to give it."

"One month ago, at the Spring Dragon Poetry Fair, the Liu family and Wangyuezong intended to assassinate me at the Poetry Fair."

"And that day, in addition to the members of the Liu family, I also killed an inner guard who had been incorporated into the Imperial Guard."

"Freemasonry, Xuanjing Division, Tianluo Sect, countless brothers lost their lives for my life... Some people say that I am 'one will be successful', but I don't think so .”

"I believe that to be born as a human being is to decide whether to live or die!"

"So I killed Liu Yuanshan and Liu Zongliang, and I will destroy his entire Liu family in the future!"

"And so are you!"

"To die or to live, to trample ten thousand people under your feet, or to be a bone of bones under the feet of others... It's up to you to choose your own path!"

"I wish all adults! Smooth sailing in the capital! Every step of the way!"

"Dry!"

As the last word "dry" burst into the sky, Wei Changtian suddenly raised his head and drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp.

Among the thirty almost fanatical gazes, Chu Xianping was the first to come back to his senses, and immediately raised the wine bowl high, repeating loudly:

"I wish all adults! Smooth sailing in the capital! Every step of the way!"

"Dry!"

"Dry!!!"

Thirty roars followed closely behind, followed by the sound of porcelain exploding.

"I swear to be loyal and do my best for the young master! I will spare no effort!"

"I swear to be loyal and do my best for the young master! I will spare no effort!"

"I swear to be loyal and do my best for the young master! I will spare no effort!"

"..."

......

After dozens of breaths.

Wei Changtian and Chu Xianping, who smelled of alcohol, walked out of the secret room, and they seemed to be able to hear the excited roars behind them.

Turning his head and glanced at Wei Changtian, Chu Xianping seemed a little surprised, but quickly restrained his thoughts, and said calmly:

"My lord, all the items needed for the trip have been distributed to the people in the same boat. Tomorrow morning, they will secretly leave the city in batches. They will first go to the state capitals, and then go to the capital from various places."

"Well, you can arrange these things."

Wei Changtian nodded, followed Chu Xianping into another secret room and sat down.

Although this chaos in the world is very dangerous to me, it also hides many opportunities.

Take these high-level secret works of the same boat club as an example.

No matter how much Chu Xianping forged their identities and impersonated them, at most he could only arrange some small officials. He didn't know that they would have to wait until the year of the monkey before they could reach high positions.

But things are different today.

The Xu family has been classified as treason, and the officials of the Xu faction who followed the downfall have vacated a large number of positions.

The Liu family and Ning Yongnian only cared about the ownership of those important positions, and didn't care much about other mid-level and lower-level officials.

This gave me a lot of room to operate, and I could give these undercover agents a very good starting condition as soon as they came up.

What's more, Wei Changtian didn't really expect how high these people could climb in a short period of time.

Their real function is to occupy a place for themselves in the court through another way, or to establish an alliance.

An underground alliance bound together by the most unbreakable ties, entirely at its beck and call.

Chapter 216 Situation Analysis

After sending away the [-] undercover agents from the same boat club, Wei Changtian was busy with the "post-disaster reconstruction" work in Shuzhou for another ten days.

After all, a large number of officials "accidentally died" before, and a large number of wealthy businessmen "run away with money" will inevitably affect the normal social order. It really made him experience what is called "with great power comes great responsibility".

"My lord, in the past few days, all the ministries in Shuzhou City have basically dared not show their heads..."

In the study, Chen Bo leaned against the chair with half of his buttocks, and asked very respectfully: "Do you want to continue?"

"No need, the fine work can never be finished. Now this level is enough, and you only need to pay more attention in the future."

Wei Changtian nodded, then turned to Liang Zhen and asked, "Uncle Liang, how is the situation in Jizhou?"

"The battle is imminent."

Liang Zhen just said four words concisely, and everyone in the room sighed after hearing the words.

Is it finally here?

Half a month ago, the imperial guards came out from the capital and went straight to Jizhou, but in the end they stationed in the neighboring Bingzhou, as if they wanted to force the Xu family to surrender by overwhelming the city.

But the Xu family obviously didn't have this plan. Not only did they firmly control Jizhou, but they didn't even know when they took away the prince who was far away in Liangzhou—Prince Jian.

It was clear that he was going to use the prince's name to confront Ning Yongnian head-on.

Of course Ning Yongnian couldn't bear this, and immediately ordered the five prefectures around Jizhou to assemble their troops, ready to join the imperial guards in a decisive battle with the Xu family, and even to supervise the battle in person...

So, is it finally time to start fighting now?

"Long days..."

Liang Zhen pondered for a moment, then asked: "Now that the imperial court has gathered troops from the five prefectures together with the imperial guards to attack Jizhou, no matter how well prepared the Xu family is, it will be difficult for them to hold on for too long."

"We still don't break up with the Xu family, isn't it too...dangerous?"

Liang Zhen's question expressed what many people were thinking.

Now in the entire 36 prefectures of Daning, except for Ji and Shu prefectures, no matter what they do secretly, at least on the surface, the rest of the prefectures have made a lot of moves to suppress the Xu family.

Only Shuzhou was unmoved. Although they kept saying "support the imperial court", the properties of the Xu family on the street were still open for business, and even the Xu family who had fled from nearby state capitals did not refuse to come.

Right now, Ning Yongnian really has no time to deal with such an act of obedience and inconsistency, but he will definitely settle the score after the fall after he settles the Xu family.

Strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with this idea.

But... let's just say we didn't look far enough.

"Uncle Liang, do you think the Xu family is so vulnerable?"

Wei Changtian knew that if he didn't explain a little bit, the suspicion might continue to spread, so after thinking for a while, he said slowly:

"If you want the God of Wealth to enter the house, first ask the Xu family if it's allowed."

"Although the jokes in the market are exaggerated, they will not be too far apart."

"The Xu family may not be as powerful as Liu and Wu as Wei, but the amount of money they can dispatch is definitely a huge number."

"But what's the use of having money?"
