71. Prince Yong's Mansion(1/2)
"Master Wang Xiang?" Chu Yunqing called.
Wang Yuanzhi said "Ah" and then came back to his senses, "You...the leader of the gang called me, why did you call me?"
Chu Yunqing said: "I want to ask about the business in Nanshi."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yuanzhi immediately became vigilant.
This is what he is most sensitive and afraid of now. Chen Wu is dead, and Nanshi's business has become a piece of meat. Not only the people in the Yuanxing Gang, but also people from other gangs want to get a piece of the pie.
At this time, he had no doubt that the person in front of him thought so too.
Therefore, Wang Yuanzhi said: "There is a lot of business in Nanshi, what is the gang leader referring to?"
Chu Yunqing said: "Xiaoyaosan."
Wang Yuanzhi frowned and looked at Chu Yunqing seriously, "Gang leader Chu has just taken office. Although he is young, he has a big appetite."
Chu Yunqing smiled and said: "The business in Nanshi is mainly casinos and horse markets, but when it comes to huge profits, it has to be Xiaoyaosan."
"But I'm afraid, you won't be able to eat it." Wang Yuanzhi said: "The business of Xiaoyaosan has always been controlled by Chen Wu, and he is the only one who has this thread in his hand."
After experiencing the panic of Chen Wugang's death, he no longer had any respect for this person, even though he was once his confidant.
"Looking at Taiyuan Prefecture, all the buyers of Xiaoyaosan only recognize him, and the mysterious seller only recognizes him." Wang Yuanzhi said: "Now that he is dead, the source of goods will probably be replaced by someone else."
Chu Yunqing said: "Can Master Wang Xiang help me make an introduction?"
Wang Yuanzhi shook his head, "The business of Xiaoyaosan has always been handled by Chen Wu himself."
"But you are his confidant." Chu Yunqing said.
"I'm sorry that Wang is unable to help." Wang Yuanzhi still shook his head.
Chu Yunqing was silent for a moment and said: "Other businesses in Nanshi must be handled by someone."
Wang Yuanzhi smiled and said, "This is natural, and the brothers below all think so too."
There was obvious tit-for-tat and confidence in his words.
Chu Yunqing heard that the other party felt that even if there were no decisions and appointments from him or the main hall, the other party would ultimately have the final say in Nanshi's business.
"Are Wang Xiangzhu's words always so true?" he said meaningfully.
Wang Yuanzhi said: "With all due respect, Gang Leader Chu used to follow Hall Leader Yan, and all he experienced were petty fights. The business in the casino and the horse market is no better than others. The money is huge, and people will die at every turn."
Chu Yunqing said nothing.
Wang Yuanzhi added: "Let alone Xiaoyaosan, not everyone can touch this thing. Without permission, anyone who reaches out will have his claws chopped off."
Chu Yunqing asked: "After Chen Wu, who is qualified to reach out?"
Wang Yuanzhi smiled slightly and said nothing.
Chu Yunqing shook his head, looking a little regretful.
Wang Yuanzhi asked doubtfully: "What else does Gang Leader Chu want to say?"
"I originally set my heart on the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch." Chu Yunqing sighed.
Listening to his words, Wang Yuanzhi's heart skipped a beat, remembering his previous suspicions, especially his incredible speculations after Chen Wuheng died in prison.
Thinking about it now, it made him even more frightened to think about it.
However, this might be because he was scaring himself, Wang Yuanzhi thought, after all, Chu Yunqing was from a rough background and would not have such a scheme.
At that moment, he clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Gang Leader Chu, for falling in love with me by mistake. If nothing happens, Wang will leave first."
Chu Yunqing nodded, "It's a pity that Master Wang Xiang still doesn't know anything about me."
Wang Yuanzhi didn't answer and left in a hurry.
Chu Yunqing watched him walk down the stairs, turned around, and poured the cold tea in the cup out of the window.
He is not a person who likes to kill. The people he has killed so far are all because the other party was unkind to him, so he committed the murder. This is his principle, retaliation for retaliation.
But sometimes, when the truth doesn't make sense, killing is the simplest way.
However, he still felt that if he could fight for it, it would be better not to let Yuan Xing Gang lose one incense master. After all, at this juncture, he might be suspected.
…
Wang Yuanzhi is Chen Wu's confidant. The so-called confidant refers to a highly trusted subordinate.
Xiaoyaosan is not an ordinary business, especially the source of supply is Prince Yong’s Mansion. When it comes to this, of course the fewer people who know about it, the better.
However, after all, Chen Wu is just a person. He has force and some brains, but he is high-profile. Although this is why Prince Yong's Palace likes him for being easy to control, he still needs a smart person to help him. That's what Wang Yuanzhi is.
one person.
In other words, he was the person sent by Prince Yong's Mansion to monitor Chen Wu.
Now, Chen Wu is dead, Xiaoyaosan's business cannot be stopped, and Prince Yong's Palace cannot come forward, so it is necessary to find a new agent.
Wang Yuanzhi knew this very well, so he wanted to fight for it. He used to be from Prince Yong's Palace, but now, he is the incense master of the Yuanxing Gang. In the past few years following Chen Wu, he has become familiar with all business processes and transactions.
Knowing this well, he felt that he could completely replace the other person.
Now is an opportunity, an opportunity to get rid of the master-servant relationship in Prince Yong's Palace and become a cooperative or subordinate relationship like Chen Wu.
Everyone wants to go to higher places. No one wants to be an insignificant pawn all his life. When an opportunity arises that can change your destiny or take a step forward, you must seize it firmly.
This is what Wang Yuanzhi thought and did.
He came to Prince Yong's Mansion at this time, met with his former owner Prince Yong Zhou Yong in the lobby, and then, trembling, carefully and tactfully explained the current situation and expressed his thoughts.
Then, he anxiously waited for the decision of the person in the hall.
The man at the head of the hall looked elegant and looked to be in his forties. He was a prince, but he was wearing an ordinary silk shirt and looked simple. He looked more like a teacher.
In the hall, sitting on the left hand side was a clear middle-aged man, about the same age as Zhou Yong, with a gentle smile on his face, but his right arm was empty, and his sleeves were hanging down on his side. He was actually a one-armed man.
people.
His name was Gongsun Che, he was Zhou Yong's confidant and chief adviser. When he looked at Wang Yuanzhi who was kneeling in the hall, there was only disdain and ridicule in his eyes.
Opposite them, two young men, a man and a woman, were sitting. The man was a bit frail, but extremely handsome. He was the young master Zhou Fang, but he looked slightly sad at this moment.
The woman is younger, she looks about fifteen or sixteen years old, thin, delicate and fair. She is Princess Zhou Min.
At this time, Zhou Yong took a sip of tea. On the side, Gongsun Zhe looked at Wang Yuanzhi and spoke at the right time.
"You mean, Lu Jing, Chen Wu and others were killed by Chu Yunqing?"
"This is just a villain's guess." Wang Yuanzhi did not dare to speak too fully.
"You are from Prince Yong's Palace. You should know that we only look at the results." Gongsun Zhe said.
Wang Yuanzhi was dissatisfied in his heart, but now that he was kneeling here, it reminded him of the past. The struggle and stubbornness in his heart could not be mentioned at all.
"Chen Wu is dead. Xiaoyaosan's business really needs someone to take care of it." Gongsun Zhe looked at the head of the hall.
Zhou Yong put down the tea cup and nodded expressionlessly.
Wang Yuanzhi was overjoyed, but when he looked up and saw the expression on the head of the hall, his whole body suddenly became cold.
He was very familiar with this look in the past. Whenever the other party wanted to die alone, he would always show this look.
Therefore, he kowtowed quickly, but he did not kowtow down, and an inexplicable force grabbed his neck.
Gongsun Zhe raised his left hand slightly, held it with his five fingers, and said coldly: "Things like ants dare to have thoughts that they shouldn't have!"
Wang Yuanzhi's face turned red, and he grabbed his neck with both hands, struggling desperately. His bloodshot eyes were full of begging for mercy.
But Gongsun Zhe's palms were still slowly clenching, and finally they came together.
Wang Yuanzhi stared with unwilling eyes and lost his breath.
Outside the door, servants came in quickly to clean up.
Gongsun Zhe looked at the head of the hall, "Your Majesty, there is indeed someone else behind Chu Yunqing."
Zhou Yong nodded, "Go on."
Gongsun Zhe said: "Although it is still unclear what relationship he has with the government, judging from the current investigation, there is no clue about his parents, relatives and friends in the yamen. It is obvious that someone has tampered with it, and he can do it There are not many people like this, and no one can get around them."
Zhou Yong said: "Thank you Yuyao."
Gongsun Zhe nodded, "That's right."
Speaking of this, Zhou Yong couldn't help but glance at Zhou Fang, who was restless. Just as the latter was about to speak, he was given a fierce look.
Gongsun Zhe continued: "However, Chu Yunqing's experience after joining the Yuanxing Gang is very clear. This person is brave and fierce, and has been in the market. Because he saved Yan Hongran, after the latter became the leader of the hall, he was trusted and became a confidant. .
After becoming the owner of incense, he restrained himself somewhat. Of course, his opponents were only some rogues or gangsters in the market, not people in the world.
Originally, such a person should be so busy, or die in a gang fight, or be marginalized due to Yan Hongran's loss of power, but the incident in the tavern not long ago seemed to be the beginning of a change.
Chen Wenjing, An Qinghe's junior sister; Li Ying, a secret agent from the Six Doors. According to the government records, the former runs a tavern and waits for opportunities to learn about the Yuan Xing Gang's secrets; the latter is an undercover agent of the Yuan Xing Gang in order to gain power.
Both of these two people were killed because Yan Hongran's identity was revealed by the person who had been installed by Yan Hongran in the government office. The file said that the person who did it was Chu Yunqing. Moreover, it is said that Chen Wenjing and Chu Yunqing had an ambiguous relationship.
Afterwards, Chu Yunqing became taciturn, and it was deduced that An Qinghe approached Chu Yunqing at this time to jointly take revenge on Yan Hongran.
The specific plan was to seize Liang Yuanzuo, the head of the Xiaoyao Sanla government office, and then use Bai Jiu, a gambler who had a grudge against Chen Wu, as bait to cause trouble in the gambling house and attract Chen Wu to show up. Later, Liang Yuanzuo died and An Qinghe Chen Wu was imprisoned for instigating murder.
