Chapter 103 Questions and Answers (1)
A cone-shaped transparent glass bottle was moved to the dining table by the servants. In the glass bottle was filled with clear water, apple juice, distilled liquor, milk, and even a few dark blue ice cubes. Under the glass bottle was a small golden bowl with coal and tobacco in it. A slender hose was inserted into the mouth of the glass bottle.
The servant lit the golden bowl of coal, and the blue-gray smoke rose thickly. After filtering through the mixture of the glass bottle, it turned into milky white smoke, which continued to rise under the residual heat of the coal.
Jing Qingfeng bit the hose in his mouth, turned the small steel balls in the adjustment hole in the hose, and finally found a comfortable rhythm, sitting in a wheelchair and sucking the clouds and fog.
These complex combinations of utensils are the "healthy entertainment project" that has been popular among the wealthy people in Xuanzhu County for many years. However, compared to the "fairy spirit" such as Fuxia Spit Fog, ordinary people who hate the rich are more willing to call it "sucking hookah".
The tobacco industry is a top industry that is the mainstay of the Yinxue Society, and no chamber of commerce can eat it alone. Now the three major tobacco businesses in Xuanzhu County have various chambers of commerce injected funds and cooperated. Not only are they sold overseas, but even in Huiyao’s entire territory, “Dongyang Smoke” is also a well-known brand.
But rich people also know that smoking and drinking are not good for their health, but enjoyment still needs to be enjoyed. Otherwise, why do you make so much money? Do you exercise your tactics?
So they invented a "smoking method" for rich people: first let the tobacco burning smoke filter through the "water-based" mixed with apple juice, milk, and distilled liquor, and then slowly suck it through a hose. It is both elegant and healthy, and the taste is also full of milky wine. In terms of style and taste, it is much more advanced than the smoking method of mud legs.
Once the water hookah was launched, it became popular throughout Xuanzhu County. Jing Qingfeng is a water hookah enthusiast with a serious "smoky and cloudy fetish". Even if he lies in the bed, he still has to smoke water hookah every day. The water hookah utensils he has collected over the years can fill a room, even called "Jibao Temple".
Jing Qingfeng actually has no diseases in his body. With his status, he has long been allowed to use light therapy to fully anti-virus. The reason why he is old and dying is about to die of 50 is not only because Huiyao Ren's average lifespan is low (the vigorous vitality caused by mental activation is actually to lose his lifespan in advance), but another major reason is his smoky habit.
Smoking is harmful to health.
After he took a few sips of cigarette comfortably, Jing Qingfeng picked up the chopsticks and picked up a vegetable and put it in the rice bowl. He coughed and said, "Cake up the chopsticks."
Huifu Hall remembered the sound of drinking and chatting, but no one spoke. Everyone had no intention of eating and focused all their attention on the main table.
Originally, everyone was ready to cry and shed a few tears, waiting to eat Jing Qingfeng's funeral meal, and then happily welcome the new head of the family. As a result, Jing Qingfeng was able to come out in a wheelchair today - is his health better? Or is it a sign of rebirth?
Many people looked at Jing Zhengfeng who had been drinking with their heads down, and had a vague guess in their hearts. The head of the family called for his fourth son Jing Zhengfeng to come back at the banquet in the family, indicating that he planned to gather all the troubles together and solve them at one time.
Jing Qingfeng, there is really not much time left.
And tonight, a major earthquake will occur in the Jing family.
There were not many people on the main table who had the heart to eat. Even Qinglan, an outsider, could detect the strange and heavy atmosphere. Only Leyu and Jing Zhengtang were eating and drinking as if nothing had happened. However, Leyu was more alone, and Jing Zhengtang would pick up food for his fiancée Feiwei.
Leyu couldn't help but look at Fei Wei. In fact, to be fair, this girl who was fascinated by the third master of the Jing family was not considered to be charming - but it was definitely not ugly. The Jing family was very picky about buying servants. The ugly girl didn't even have the chance to go to Jingyuan to be a servant. But I don't know if it was because of the support of Jing Zhengtang or her own mentality. Fei Wei gave people the feeling that she was a quiet temperament of not being surprised by favors and disgraces, which made people trust and dare not insult.
Suddenly, Jing Zhengfeng put down his wine glass and said, "Tell me, I won't..."
At this time, he glanced at Leyu sitting next to him, noticed Leyu's elegant and easy-going expression, and immediately vaguely passed by: "...What's the matter with you coming here? My time is very precious, unlike you who can have fun all day long."
Jing Qingfeng spit out a smear of white mist and snorted coldly: "Why, can't you even deal with this mess in Qinghong? Waste is waste."
Jing Zhengfeng was not angry, "After all, the Qinghong Gang is full of a group of desperate people who dare to kill and fight. It is different from the rice insects raised by your Jing family, and it will be a lot of trouble to manage it."
The rice insects raised by the Jing family, workers, servants, or their tribe members?
Many tribe members were angry when they heard this, but few dared to stand up and shook their faces with Jing Zhengfeng. After hearing this, Leyu found out the details of Jing Zhengfeng from his memory and couldn't help but look at him.
Jing Zhengfeng is a wild species left by Jing Qingfeng. He has been living in slums in the outer city since childhood. However, according to Jing Zhengwei's analysis, Jing Qingfeng should have been observing the four sons secretly, but he never took him home. It was not until three years ago that he announced Jing Zhengfeng's true identity to everyone.
At that time, Jing Zhengfeng was already the largest gang in the outer city of Xuanzhu County and the third leader of the Qinghong Gang.
In Xuanzhu County, gangs have always been an unavoidable problem and are the only gray area where various forces can compete with each other. Organizations like the Silver Blood Society that covers official, business, military and political affairs naturally have many factions within them. Even the top ten chambers of commerce are eyeing them. The bottom forty chambers of commerce have changed a group of new faces almost every ten years. The official military is also undercurrent and competition is fierce.
All vested interests want to maintain their status, and the easiest way to implement and the most immediate effect is naturally violence.
But the Assassin Organization did not accept internal orders from the Silver Blood Society, and the merchants were not stupid enough to let Yang Jun compete with them - that was a dimensionality reduction blow that directly turned the table.
But violent gangs cannot be formed in one day, and Silver Blood will have rules that do not allow violent internal fighting. It would be fine if there is no evidence left, but if the evidence is caught, the Silver Blood Society will share it with them.
Naturally, gangs have become the choice of all chambers of commerce. They are convenient for training and control, and they are thrown away after use... Since the day the Silver Blood Society was established, gangs have been the dark side of Xuanzhu County, and those brave and cruel young people join the profit-oriented gang, which is also convenient for the Silver Blood Society to control, killing multiple kills.
Jing Zhengfeng was the leader of the third gang at a young age. In addition to his outstanding personal abilities, Jing Qingfeng's secret help is absolutely indispensable. Because of Jing Zhengfeng's identity, the clansmen did not dare to provoke him randomly - nothing more fearful to the meat eaters than violence.
The most important thing is that they felt that Jing Qingfeng was actually very optimistic about Jing Zhengfeng. In the entire family, only Jing Zhengfeng dared to swear against Jing Qingfeng, which is enough to say everything.
It would be impossible for Jing Qingfeng to support Jing Zhengfeng to the top...
"It is hard to deal with the outlaws, because they have nothing, and those who care about it are equal to having weaknesses, and those who have weaknesses are equal to being able to use it." Jing Qingfeng said lightly: "But you have to remember one thing - the outlaws have only two results, either become the latter, or... die. You can now be rampant with the identity of the outlaws, but when you have concerns, you have to bear the backlash brought by this identity."
Simply put, it is 'I will return sooner or later', 'I will be in the world, so how can I not be killed'... Leyu really wants to say a few famous gangster quotes to summarize, but the lobster on his hands is very fragrant, and he missed the opportunity to show off as he ate it.
Jing Zhengfeng snorted without refuting.
Jing Qingfeng took another sip of Bai Xia and said, "Look at all you can't hold back... Only Zhengfeng and Zhengtang know that they should eat. Even if something is going to happen, and you wait like this, it's just a waste of time."
Jing Zhengwu shook his head: "Father, we are worried about your physical condition, so we have no intention of eating."
What you mean is that I am not worried about eating fat and eating?
Although this is true, how did this brother do everything sarcastically and with a gun and a stick... Leyu secretly complained in his heart, and Jing Zhengtang quickly explained: "Father, I, I am also worried about you!"
"Okay."
Jing Qingfeng sucked a few sips of Bai Xia before slowly saying: "Yinxue will have an objection to the Jing family."
When everyone who listened with their ears opened their ears and their faces changed drastically when they heard these words!
The Silver Blood Society is not only a joint chamber of commerce, but also a variety of forces including Dongyang consul Quanyuan, county magistrate Yun Qinghe, and Yang Jun Governor Gai Shiwen, Wanghai Gong Hu Yanxiu and other forces. The Silver Blood Society has opinions on the Jing family. This matter can be big or small. If one is not handled well, it may be a disaster of extermination!
"You don't have to be too nervous. In fact, this matter has been around for a long time. I originally planned to take a few years to deal with it, but... ahem."
Jing Qingfeng coughed twice, took another sip of Baixia, and continued: "Our Jing family has mastered one-third of the plantations around Xuanzhu County. It has five factories and three mines. There are tens of thousands of workers and servants who rely on the Jing family to eat."
"The Yinxue Society is not only dissatisfied with the Jing family, but is actually dissatisfied with all the chambers of commerce that have a large number of workers and slaves. Now that refugees in the Sky District have come to Dongyang District, the Chamber of commerce can choose to hire cheaper and hard-working Sky people. At the same time, because wars in various districts are about to begin and traffic is cut off, a large amount of goods cannot be transported out for sale, cough cough..."
"...There are many factors, and the most direct result is that our chamber of commerce has contracted and developed, reduced workers' wages and even fired workers... and the workers cannot survive, so they will naturally start to cause trouble, and coupled with the incitement and instigation of the backlight organization..."
Jing Qingfeng let out a long breath: "For our Jing family alone, there have been many workers' riots in recent years, and the purpose of the Silver Blood Society is to maintain the stable development of Xuanzhu County... They hope that our Jing family can control the workers' slaves, and no matter what, they will not give backlight organizations an opportunity to take advantage of them."
"Then..." He looked around for a week and glanced over the four brothers of the Jing family, "If it were you, what would you plan to deal with this matter?"
How to deal with it? Give money, give lots of money, do you want a horse to run away without giving it to a horse to eat grass? There is too much money, but there is little trouble, and you have to satisfy one person, right?
Although his butt was already sitting in the position of the capitalist, he still stood by his heart and thought of the poor proletarian music.
"Father."
Jing Zhengwu said loudly: "It's impossible to deal with these mobs."
