I was reborn as the villain

Shu Kuang also agreed: "I agree with Patriarch He. Although Nanping City is far from Shucang City, the imperial court firmly controls Nanping City, and the environment of Nanping City is relatively simple and harmonious. It must be much easier for Mo to make a living in Nanping City than in Qingjiao City."

He Ningchuan nodded and continued to take up the conversation: "Qingjiao City is very close to Shucang City, but it is controlled by aristocratic families. On the surface, it submits to the imperial court, but in fact the imperial court's control over Qingjiao City is not enough. In this complex In the environment, it is very difficult for Chen Zhimo to open up the situation, besides, I heard that Chen Zhimo's reputation in Qingjiao City is not very good, and..."

Speaking of this, He Ningchuan lowered his voice, looked around, and then said in a low voice: "The Yin Qi Youchang of the Qingjiao City Mansion is from the Yuan family, and is also a disciple of the chief minister of the Ministry of Foreign Communications, Yue Wang. I heard that Master Yue Because of Tian Bufei's relationship with Mr. Tian, ​​Chen Zhimo didn't get along with him. If Chen Zhimo wanted to open up the situation and seek development in Qingjiao City, he would definitely be obstructed by Qi Youchang. Chen Zhimo couldn't afford to abandon Shucang City. The situation is going to be redeveloped in such a complicated Qingjiao City, you must know that apart from Qi Youchang, other aristocratic families in Qingjiao City are not happy to see other forces mixed into Qingjiao City."

Yang Youde frowned, and whispered thoughtfully: "It seems that there are many difficulties, but in fact there is a chance of life. Nanping City is a smooth road. He will not go, but he wants to go to Qingjiao City, which is full of powerful forces at this juncture. I still want to go. I don't think it's that simple."

Ming Yishan said with a smile on the side: "Brother Yang, when the Hengkong Group was in full swing, our five major families were not afraid. Now that the Hengkong Group is on the verge of collapse, and Chen Zhimo is notorious, why are you still cautious?" Well, if you want me to say, that kid was scolded so badly recently that he found an excuse to hide in Qingjiao City. The whole family has gone, and maybe he is planning to sell his assets and run away from Qingjiao City .”

Yang Youde thought about it for a while and felt that it was not impossible. If Chen Zhimo really planned to take the money and run away, that would be a good thing, and it would save him from worrying about any accidents.

Yang Youde thought about it carefully, and then said: "Be careful sailing for thousands of years, this kid has too many fantastic ideas, I'm afraid of giving him a chance to turn around, do you think it's possible that he went to Qingjiao City just for His Majesty's sake?" It’s true that Qingjiao City is a dragon’s lake and a tiger’s lair, and it’s true that the forces from all sides are intricately intertwined, but it’s just like this that His Majesty sent Chen Zhimo to visit, just to throw an accident into the originally balanced Qingjiao City. So that His Majesty's hand can reach in."

He Ningchuan remained silent. He wasn't sure if there was such a possibility. According to what he knew about the little emperor, the emperor was young but ambitious, and it couldn't be said that there was no such possibility at all. Can a ruined businessman really open up a new situation in the complicated Qingjiao City, so that Qingjiao City can be firmly controlled by the little emperor?

He Ningchuan thought for a while, and finally shook his head and expressed his own analysis: "Brother Yang, you should be worrying too much. Our emperor has lofty ambitions, a calm mind, and is cautious and prudent in doing things. Using a businessman Is it too bold to want to control Shucang City? If it is not done well, it will irritate the nobles in Qingjiao City, and Qingjiao City will be out of the control of His Majesty. I think Chen Zhimo's return to Qingjiao City should have nothing to do with His Majesty."

Yang Youde nodded in response: "Maybe I'm too careful, the more critical the moment is, the less I dare to relax."

Gu Mingtai said with concern: "Brother Yang still has to take care of his health, we all have a share in Wulian Shengpin, and we can't let Brother Yang work hard alone."

Shu Kuang also responded: "Yeah, brother Yang, don't worry too much, then Chen Zhimo can't make a fuss, what awaits him will only be ruin, and His Majesty the Emperor will not go to protect his reputation." A messy businessman, his end will be miserable." After speaking, Shu Kuang showed a sinister expression.

Here, He Ningchuan and Shu Kuang hate Chen Zhimo the most, because the appearance of Chen Zhimo has caused the big tree they rely on to no longer shelter them from the wind and rain. A new business law and fair competition are all that matters. Let Chen Zhimo rob them of a lot of business, they can't wait to kill Chen Zhimo.

Only then did Yang Youde stretch his brows, and said with a smile: "I suddenly remembered something. At the award ceremony, Master Chu hinted at Chen Zhimo's visit to the saint. Presumably, His Majesty the Emperor was worried about Chen Zhimo and wanted to He gave an explanation, who would have thought that this kid was too courageous, and even refused to go to face the saint under the guise of going back to his hometown, so he hid in Qingjiao City. From this point of view, His Majesty really doesn't know about him Love, and should not conspire with him."

Gu Mingtai went on to say: "As long as the Hengkong Group falls, we will have someone sue him for despising the Holy One, and then he will be able to walk away without food."

Yang Youde took a sip of tea: "It's a sure thing to beat the dog in the water. At that time, list some crimes for him. Without us taking action, His Majesty will kill the whole family of the Chen family, but it's too early to say these things now, thin A dead camel is bigger than a horse. Even if the Hengkong Group is riddled with holes, it won't be able to collapse in a short time. It's just that at this juncture, Chen Zhimo still has the intention to take his family back to his hometown, so I don't understand I'm always worried that this kid will make something wrong again."

Ming Yishan persuaded: "Brother Yang, why are you talking about this topic again? If Brother Yang is really worried, then the big guys will do their best to send more people to monitor Chen Zhimo's movements. Find some connections to stumbling him, no matter what he wants to do in Qingjiao City, we won't let him get what he wants, right?"

After hearing this, Yang Youde nodded resolutely: "Brother, just do as you say, I'm still worried about this kid Chen Zhimo, so I have to watch it tighter."

Others also stated that they would take this matter seriously, and they would arrange for people to monitor Chen Zhimo's family, and they would secretly set up obstacles for Chen Zhimo, but they still haven't figured out Chen Zhimo's ultimate goal what is it.

At this point, these people finally ended the topic about Chen Zhimo, Yang Youde only talked about Shunyou Huanming, and the most direct opponent right now is Shunyou Huanming.

"Everyone, on Shunyou Huanming's side, we have to be more careful, and we can't let Shunyou Huanming slow down."

He Ningchuan replied: "Don't worry, I heard that Shunyou Huanming's counterattack was planned by a person named Shi Yuanchang. This person is very capable. He is the manager hired by that old boy Liu Chengjin with a lot of money. It is said that Liu Chengjin thinks highly of him, and he can be said to be obedient to him, presumably he regards this person as Shunyou Huanming's last straw."

Gu Mingtai said unhappily: "Old man Liu can afford the money, but can our five big families not afford it? Let me tell you, let's dig up that Shi Yuanchang for our use. Then I think Shunyou Huanming can do it again." How long will it last?"

Ming Yishan also said: "That is, in terms of financial resources, is there any merchant that can compare with our Wulian Shengpin? Since this person has outstanding ability, let us use it. After defeating Shunyou Huanming, he can still use this People against Hengkong Group."

Yang Youde rubbed his nostrils, thought for a while and agreed: "You can send someone to contact you. If you are really capable, it's not a bad idea to win them over."

...The heads of the five major families talked for a long time, analyzed the situation in all aspects, and formulated corresponding strategies before they dispersed.

Afterwards, the five major families all launched actions against Chen Zhimo and Shi Yuanchang, but in different ways. For Chen Zhimo, they monitored and suppressed, while for Shi Yuanchang, they tried and recruited.

In the palace, the little emperor also summoned a lot of people, all talking about state affairs, and did not talk about the Hengkong Group and Chen Zhimo, as if the little emperor didn't care about these things at all.

The little emperor didn't care about the battle between Wulian Shengpin and Shunyou Huanming. In short, they fought a price war, and the people benefited. No matter who won in the end, it was the result of fair competition. The little emperor didn't intend to interfere.

Afterwards, the little emperor summoned relevant people from the Ministry of Rituals, saying that he was going to hold a sacrificial ceremony, and finally kept some ministers who were responsible for the specific arrangements.

Sacrifice activities follow a form, these forms are very complicated, have a special process, and it is very cumbersome to sort out. The little emperor spent a lot of time discussing the connection with these specific responsible ministers, and finally sorted out a The process came, and it was getting late at this time, so the little emperor let all the ministers leave.

Fu Qian was one of these ministers. When he had just left the palace and got into his own carriage, he was stopped by someone and then taken into the palace.

Fu Qian saw the little emperor again. The little emperor was reviewing the memorial. He raised his head to look at him, and then began to review on his own. After a while, he said straight to the point: "Master Fu is such a great writer!"

Fu Qian saluted in fear: "I am afraid, I don't know what your Majesty means?"

The little emperor smiled, put down the writing brush in his hand, stretched out his hand to soothe his muscles and bones, then put away his smile, and said calmly without anger: "Master Fu put the fate of the entire family in the hands of a businessman. I really don’t know whether it’s better to say that Mr. Fu is courageous, or that Mr. Fu is too gambler. At best, it’s mutual support, at worst, it’s collusion between government and businessmen.”

Beads of sweat rolled down Fu Qian's forehead, and he quickly knelt down and bowed: "Your Majesty, there is no interest exchange between the minister and Master Mo, only a one-sided relationship, and there is absolutely no intention of colluding with the country."

The little emperor snorted softly and questioned: "One-sided fate? One-sided fate can make Mr. Fu gamble the whole family. It seems that Mr. Fu is very optimistic about Chen Zhimo. Then Mr. Fu tell me about Chen Zhimo's chances of winning." Is it big?"

What the little emperor asked was naturally this battle in the business world. On the surface, only Shunyou Huanming and Wulian Shengpin were fighting fiercely. In fact, it was a battle between three families. No matter which one wins, it will be able to further control the situation in Cangcheng. economic lifeline.
