Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 553

The divided stalemate in Bird Clothes Lane directly affected the atmosphere in the entire capital.

After experiencing the initial stunned silence, Bird Clothes Lane, where rich and powerful gathered, has gradually returned to the bustling scene of the past.The only difference compared to the past is that most of the people walking on this street have inexplicable expressions, as if there is an undercurrent surging in their hearts, and it seems that it may pour out at any time.

And in previous years, many people came to Bird Clothes Lane, because there were so many dignitaries in the vicinity, even if they only interviewed one family, they would often send their family members to other houses to express their opinions.But now, you can go directly to whichever you want, and don't care about the rest.And the families with the most guests at the moment are the Langya Wang family who have hung up white flags and white silks for the funeral, and the other is Princess Danyang's mansion where the armored soldiers in front of the mansion are becoming more and more powerful.

The guests who went to these two mansions accounted for the vast majority of visitors to Bird Clothes Lane, so that it gave people the illusion that there were only these two dignitaries in Bird Clothes Lane right now.Moreover, the guests of the two are also distinct, even if Daozuo sees them, they are limited to eye contact and rarely communicate with each other.

The Shen family is now in a situation of tight outside and loose inside, the surroundings of the mansion are chill and quiet, but the atmosphere inside the mansion has become relaxed.

On the first day when he heard the news, Shen Zhezi was waiting for change in the mansion, but after the Wang family put on a funeral posture on the second day, he was relieved and no longer demanded that everyone in the mansion be on tight alert.The Wang family didn't even threaten to investigate the real cause of Wang Xingzhi's death and began to attend the funeral. At least it shows that Director Wang has no intention of using force for the time being, but manipulates public opinion and puts himself in the position of the victim.

This point is somewhat disadvantageous to Shen Zhezi. He is afraid to launch any public opinion offensive right now, just as Director Wang dared not directly tear himself apart with the Shen family in order to maintain stability.The Wang family did lose one person, which is its advantage.

Two days later, Shen Zhezi began to receive guests. Once the door was opened, invitations flew in like snowflakes.Now the Shen family is no longer a politically hopeless and ineffective family of Wu Zong. If his family's power rises or falls, it will directly or indirectly affect the interests of many people.And the scope affected by his family is the so-called political circle.

The reason why the Langya Wang family is difficult to deal with is because the political circle gathered around his family is the largest and the most high-end.Hurting the Langya Wang family is hurting the overall interests of this circle.The counterattacks of those in the circle are sometimes even more vicious than those of the Langya Wang family.

The first ones to come to the door are naturally the Wuzhong families with the deepest interests.Each of these families has a large amount of wealth betting on the construction of Jiankang City. It can be said that the rise and fall of the Shen family's status directly affects the safety and return of their assets.Whether they make a lot of money or lose everything depends on whether the Shen family can gain a firm foothold in the capital.

When these people came to the door, the first thing they urgently needed to understand was why things suddenly became so tense?And what kind of impact will such a tense situation have on their investment in Jiankang City.

There is no doubt that the Shen family is the backbone of these families in the capital.As a leader, not only to enjoy the worship of others, but also to make them feel at ease, is also Shen Zhezi's unshirkable responsibility.

Therefore, when these people gathered together, Shen Zhezi came forward and explained the reason: "Earlier, a student of my family was originally from Langya Township, and his family suffered from old difficulties. Now that time has passed, this student can be regarded as capable in doing things, so I help him Restoring the family business. However, most of the old property was occupied by the villagers, so it is inevitable that there will be quarrels."

"There may be some people involved with the Wang family. Wang Zhihou didn't know how to feel sorry for himself. He took the white dragon fish and did not fight privately in the village. As for the specific cause of his death, I am actually not clear here. But I can tell you one thing. Guaranteed, now the outside rumors say that I framed and killed Wang Zhihou, that is slander. How is the situation in the southeast, you all know that Wang Zhihou's life is not enough to shake the general situation, and I have no reason to lightly offend his family."

When everyone heard this, although they were still worried, they were relieved.No one blamed Shen Zhezi for meddling in other people's business, after all, it is the way of a big family to support the disciples.If you don't even have this responsibility, why should others depend on you?What's more, speaking of them, they are also Shen's vassals, and they may need such help one day.Such resentment is unreasonable.

"It turns out that the facts are like this. From this point of view, the many slanderous words outside are all for those who have evil intentions to discredit the son-in-law, and their hearts can be punished!"

Everyone said indignantly that what they came here to ask for was not the truth, but Shen Zhezi's statement about it.As for whether this statement is true, that is Shen Zhezi's business, they just need to believe it.

But among them, some people were worried: "The king's family is powerful, it's not good to accumulate such old grudges, and the long-term confrontation in the capital is not conducive to urban construction. I don't know if the son-in-law has a good plan to ease this matter?"

Shen Zhezi glanced at the person who said such words in the banquet. It is human nature to solve problems when encountering problems, but right now, the meaning is a little different. It is nothing more than hoping that Shen Zhezi will not be so tough and bow his head a little to show weakness. To maintain the hard-won situation.

Regarding this kind of thinking, there is actually nothing to say. After all, the Shen family and the Wang family are directly at odds, and they will also be affected.Director Wang's recent arrangements are not lacking in urgency, and the purpose is naturally to shake the confidence of these villagers and use them to put pressure on himself.

Where there are people, they are divided into left, middle and right. Even if they are mixed in the same circle, it is inevitable that there will be conservative and radical.

As soon as the words fell, before Shen Zhezi could open his mouth, someone in the banquet retorted: "We, the folks in Wuzhong, have always been separated from Yizi. The north is in turmoil, and Jizi came south in a hurry, and they repeatedly invaded the country. What kind of reasonable person? Now that his sons don't know self-love, and they seek death by themselves, what do they have to do with the son-in-law? The current situation is not easy to come by, if he retreats due to an unreasonable disaster, who can guarantee that the son-in-law will not continue to be poor?"

After Shen Zhezi heard this, he also laughed and said: "What is the inside story, the people involved in the matter have not yet fully understood, and rumors are already flying in the sky in the capital, which shows how many people take advantage of the chaos for profit. Although this matter is only involved in my family , but can’t it be a wake-up call to the villagers?”

"After the military disaster, the capital was greatly damaged. My family has accumulated a little honor and attracted people from the countryside to the north. I am willing to use Wu Zhong's funds to help the country, so that the people in my village can be as beautiful as they were at that time. But in this way, it is inevitable that there will be resentment. Who is Wang Zhihou? He is just a mediocre man in the Wang family. If he dies violently, what harm will he do to the country? This is just an introduction. Those who have grudges against my villagers will use this to attack my family and drive us Wu people back to their hometown. , to privately manipulate the national weapon of the country in the hands of the stockholders!"

Speaking of this, Shen Zhezi's face has become serious, he slapped his palm on the table heavily, and said in a concentrated voice: "Today, I might as well tell you a word, my humble opinion, but only with full blood, guarding the country and solid soil, it is duty-bound! But if you have an inch to advance, you dare not think about retreating! Those who are sympathetic to others have only one life. It is the luck of my family that the villagers believe in me. I will not share the vengeance of the heavens! It will be the same today, it will be the same tomorrow, and it will be the same in the next life!"

"Today, the armor of soldiers stands at the door of the house, waiting for the next day. It is to tell the people of the time that those who are ambitious should not be insulted or defiled lightly! You should not be ashamed, and those who harm me can only show you with a sword. There is no soft word to ask for peace!"

When everyone heard Shen Zhezi's generous words, they either looked passionate, or glared at the outside: "The northern dust disturbs the world, and it's really not easy to rule the country. We all want to go north from the son-in-law. At this time of crisis, only Stand shoulder to shoulder and not fall into Wuzhong's ambition!"

Shen Zhezi was quite satisfied with the attitude of the villagers. Of course, he knew that his few slogans would not have such a great appeal, but he revealed the fact that the people of the time really held grudges against the Wu people who came north. It's been a long time, and apart from the Shen family, there is no other family that has both the ability and the attitude to protect their interests!If the Shen family could not stand firm in Jiankang, it would never be a better tomorrow to welcome them.

Of course, in addition to fighting chicken blood, Shen Zhezi also needs to explain the current situation to them: "The current situation is considered safe for the people of my village. One is that King Qiao sits in the south of the capital and has all boats and ships. If something goes wrong, There is no need to worry about the retreat. The Duke of Yu came to the stone in person, and the Liyang Yu made the emperor reach the capital day and night, and there is hope for advancement! There is no hindrance in advance and retreat, and everyone returns home to watch with peace of mind and wait for changes."

At this point in the conversation, everyone was completely relieved, and they were very satisfied with Shen Zhezi's arrangement.They are not worried that the Shen family will abandon them at a critical moment. After all, the alliance between each other is not just a matter of subordination. The existence of the business alliance has already made their family businesses closely united. Self-isolation from the native land is even more self-destruction of the foundation, and the harm is not only in front of the eyes.

Full trust is built on the basis of close association.From this point of view, Shen Zhezi knew very well that although his plate was small, its stability was much stronger than that of the Qingxu family around Wang.It is impossible for Director Wang to shake the hearts of his side through a strong attitude, unless there are some substantive radical means.

But that ability, Wang no longer has.Purely from the area of ​​Gyeonggi, the Shen family is by no means weak compared to the two strengths!
After receiving Shen Zhezi's confession, the villagers have already settled down. They either dispersed to prepare for the emergency, or they simply stayed and faced it together.

Jiang Xia Gongwei Chong came to the door next, and there were many old friends of his.Being able to go to the door at this moment, even if you don't say anything, means standing in line.

Shen Zhezi understood that Jiang Xiagong was reciprocating. He recommended the Wei family in front of the empress dowager without telling Wei Chong, in order to avoid the suspicion of coercing favor and inviting favor.But if Wei Chong can't even find out about this point, then he should stop expecting to be the emperor's father-in-law and go home to wash and sleep.

Wei Chong's visit seemed to be a signal, and then people came to express their concerns one after another.The several important forces in the current situation are divided by their hometowns, that is, the Qingxu Qiaomen headed by the Wang family, the Yuzhou family supported by the late emperor, and the Wu people who have sprung up suddenly.

But it does not mean that the current situation is only composed of these people, there are more scattered families, just because of the lack of a unified and banner family, they are moved between the parties, which should not be underestimated.
