There is An Apocalyptic Man in the Village

In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient, and the straight-line distance from Shiqiao Town to Jiangyi Prefecture was not far, but according to the traffic here, it would be a long journey.

After half a month of rushing, Wu Qingyuan and two servants arrived at their destination. This is because one of the servants was originally from the capital of Jiangyi Prefecture and he was familiar with the road. If he is not familiar with the road, it may take more time. It takes a long time.

After arriving in the capital of the state capital, Wu Qingyuan did not rush to visit the Qi family. He had only heard about the Qi family of the imperial merchant. If you rush to the door without any preparation, you can only be eaten by others until there is not even scum left.

"In the past few days, let's inquire separately, and write down everything about the Qi family, no matter how big or small."

After finding an inn to live in, Wu Qingyuan ordered the two servants to split up to find out about the Qi family.

This time only the three of them came. There are many people from other places in the capital of the state. The three of them are inconspicuous, and no one has any doubts about them. Difficult, everyone has been busy for a few days, and finally summed up all the inquiries. Wu Qingyuan has a clearer general understanding of the Qi family.

We don't talk about the deep-seated matters of the Qi family, but after inquiring into the news these days, he found a very important breakthrough in cooperation, that is, there is a problem with the relationship between the grandchildren of the Qi family.

As an imperial merchant, the Qi family's family business can be said to be strong and wealthy. Naturally, the descendants of such a large family business want to inherit it, but in ancient times, they paid attention to spreading branches and leaves. There are five houses, but there is only one head of the house.

In order to inherit the position of Patriarch, the direct descendants of the Qi family have been fighting since childhood. They are clearly brothers, but secretly they are enemies who want to kill each other. The seemingly peaceful family mansion has long been full of blood and blood.

However, no matter how hard these descendants fight, with the old man of the Qi family leading the battle, everyone did not dare to go too far. The Qi family has been considered peaceful these years.

But no matter how powerful the old man is, his lifespan is limited after all. Now that he is old, seeing that the old man is about to go to see Lord Yan, the wolf tails of a group of descendants are exposed, and they have torn their faces several times. A month ago, Master Qi finally couldn't bear to be angered by these wolf cubs and had a stroke and fell ill on the bed. It seemed that he would not live long.

Once Master Qi fell, the descendants of the Qi family no longer had any scruples, completely uncovered their masks and started fighting, leaving Master Qi still on the hospital bed without even looking at them, fighting to the death for the family property.

Now not only the servants of the Qi family are afraid of standing in the wrong team all day long, but even the merchants in the Jiangyi prefecture who rely on the Qi family are also having headaches.

The children and grandchildren of the Qi family fought so fiercely, all of them were fierce tigers, and it was really unclear who would win and who would lose for a while, but before Master Qi died, they had to make a choice. It was okay to choose the right one, and they continued to rely The Qi family survives and enjoys good fortune, but if they choose the wrong one, wouldn't the new head of the Qi family in the future have to give them a hard memory? !

Don't think that the Qi family is just a merchant, but the family grievances are no less than royal family battles.

"Master, we are lucky. This time the Qi family scuffle is an opportunity. It is far better to cooperate with the new master than with the experienced master Qi."

Although it is a headache to choose to stand in the team, the opportunity is when the replacement is made. The new patriarch needs a "founding hero", and the risk and reward are directly proportional.

"Master, the boss of the Qi family is mediocre, the second child is capable but has a vicious personality, the third child is easy to get along with but not capable enough, the fourth child has a good personality and ability, but he is stingy and can't make it to the big stage, the fifth child is good in all aspects, and now he is at a disadvantage. Because he is too young and inexperienced, if you want to cooperate, the fifth child is the best choice...."

Although only two servants were brought out this time, these two were the most intelligent servants among the eighteen servants, especially one of them had been in Jiangyi Prefecture, and the Qi family knew it better. Analyzed the housing situation clearly and gave suggestions.

Wu Qingyuan didn't answer immediately after listening, and thought silently, screening all the news of the Qi family in high speed in his mind.

After a while, he shook his head and muttered, "We can't choose any of the five rooms of the Qi family...."

"..."

The two didn't speak, the servant looked at each other and then looked at him, some didn't quite understand what he meant.

"We are cooperating, not contributing. Remember, although the Wu family is small, they will never work for anyone."

Wu Qingyuan pondered.

Although his family is urgently in need of backing, what he wants is cooperation, mutually beneficial cooperation, rather than directly relying on someone to work for someone. The result of doing so can only be that future generations of his Wu family will become someone else. slave.

And even if you really want to work hard, the Qi family is nothing more than an imperial merchant, not qualified at all.

"...Now it is indeed an opportunity for the fifth house of the direct line of the Qi family to fight fiercely, but we cannot choose these five house members. These people have been trained as future patriarchs since they were young. Judging from the current situation, these few houses are not good, and their methods are vicious, and this kind of cooperation is like seeking skins from tigers."

"But now they are the only ones who can inherit the position of the Patriarch of the Qi family. I'm afraid the others have little hope..."

The two servants were worried, the master's words were justified, but who else could inherit the Qi family except the Wufang people?The rest of the descendants of the Qi family are all incompetent, and some of the more outstanding and capable descendants of the concubines have been suppressed long ago and have no power to fight back.

"So what? No matter how fierce the fight is, if the old man of the Qi family refuses to agree, who would dare to disobey?"

Wu Qingyuan smiled indifferently.

"Master, what do you mean...?"

"Mr. Qi had a stroke and he is not really dead. As long as Mr. Qi sits up from the bed, whoever takes over as the head of the Qi family will have to follow Mr. Qi's will. Besides, these sons are not the only capable direct descendants of the Qi family. , get ready, tomorrow we will continue to split up and investigate the matter of Miss Qi's family."

Wu Qingyuan touched the wooden box in his hand, his gaze was like a torch.

............

That night, after discussing with the two servants, Wu Qingyuan had a peaceful sleep and got up early the next morning to go out with the servants to investigate the third miss of the Qi family.

As the old saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles. Wu Qingyuan doesn't like to fight uncertain battles.

After analyzing the situation of the entire Qi family, he finally decided to put his cooperation target on this daughter of the Qi family.

Although the heirs of all big family powers have been sons since ancient times, especially in this backward feudal era, everyone has ignored that women are not inferior to men, and women are even stronger than most men in some aspects. In post-modern times, many more enlightened family heirs have not only focused on their sons, but daughters who are capable can also inherit the family business.

And the third young lady of the Qi family is such a capable woman.

The Qi family is very prosperous, and there are many sons in the direct line and collateral line. Among the group of descendants, there is only one daughter, Miss Qi San, who is also the direct daughter of Master Qi, so the old man loves her very much. Under the influence of her ears and eyes, Miss Qi San learned about Master Qi's business skills, and after Jiji, she was able to independently help Master Qi handle the business of the Qi family.

With the growth of age, Miss Qi San's ability has become more and more prominent these years. Now most of the Qi family's property is managed by her. If she is not a daughter, Mr. Qi really wants to pass his seat to her , the fifth room of the Qi family will also regard her as a thorn in the side.

But thanks to her being a woman, the direct line five brothers did not persecute her like other capable brothers in the side branches, but instead wooed her very much. Such a capable sister is definitely a help, and the daughter will marry off sooner or later. No matter how capable Miss Qi San is, she will not be able to share the Qi family's property.

But Wu Qingyuan just took a fancy to this Miss Qi San, and he was not at ease cooperating with those five families who were fighting with each other, because his Wu family started from nothing and had no foundation, and the chips were too small, so the cooperation would only be annexed immediately.

But if it was Miss Qi San, the situation would be different. At least this Miss Qi San was much better than her brothers. Even if Miss Qi San wanted to annex him, it would not be so fast. Time and confidence will strengthen the Wu family before the Qi family annexes itself.

Regardless of the fact that the battle between the fifth house of the Qi family had reached a fever pitch, Wu Qingyuan and the two servants went separately to investigate the third miss of the Qi family. After some investigation, the matter finally came to light.

"Master, we found out from the people of the Qi family that the third miss of the Qi family will be engaged to the young master of the Sun family, the royal merchant of Liaojiang Prefecture, at the end of the month, but it is rumored that the young master of the Sun family is very carefree. Having taken seven concubines and servants, Miss Qi San seems to have a lot of complaints about this marriage..."

More than complaining, no woman would like her husband's backyard to be full of other people before she married her, especially a capable woman like Miss Qi San.

It's just limited by the times, no matter how capable a woman is here, she can't escape this kind of bondage, and the Qi family is still a profit-oriented merchant, and all children's marriages cannot be decided by themselves, and whoever marries is all based on the interests of the family. First.

In the past, when Mr. Qi was there, he doted on Miss San and was reluctant to marry. He wanted to recruit a new son-in-law to keep his daughter. Now Mr. Qi was so angry that he was lying on the bed waiting to die before he had time to leave a will. Some cruel and unfilial sons Naturally, he turned his face and did not hesitate to sacrifice the happiness and life of his sisters for his own benefit.

"Master, do you want to choose Miss Qi San? But she is a woman..."

By this time, the two servants probably understood what their master wanted to do.

"What about women? Get ready, let's visit Miss Qi tomorrow."

After going through all the things and chips in his mind, a smile appeared on Wu Qingyuan's handsome face.

The first rule of the end-timers is never to underestimate women and children.
