182 Chapter 3.89

Volume Three

3.89 Don’t expect anything from Wang Ziteng in this life.

After having a quick meal in Zhuangzi, Zhou Yang took the people back to Jinling City. After all, the young man was held down by the old man Zhuangtou and did not really follow him back to the city; Xue Pan was still unconscious. He was thrown into Wang Shuying's car like a dead dog and handed over to her to take care of; Wang Ren was beaten until his head was swollen into a pig's head, and he was placed in front of the saddle and jolted back, vomiting all the way and screaming all the way.

"Ziyang, do you really want to" Wang Shuying, who had not dared to get out of the car until she was far away from Zhuangzi, finally had the courage to raise the curtains of the car again, "break the legs of the Wang family's nephew? If so, when you return to the capital, I'm afraid It’s my second brother who’s having a hard time.”

"Although I don't care about Wang Ziteng, I don't want to cause trouble for nothing." Zhou Yang sighed softly, feeling helpless, "If that man really comes, I might really have to break Wang Ren's leg; Since he gave up on his own, there is no need for me to interfere; not to mention that Brother Wenlong is involved in it - but it is necessary to give the Wang family a warning."

"What are you going to do?" Wang Shuying asked softly.

"You will take Brother Wenlong back first. I will take people to the Wang family's old residence. No matter what, we must let them remember what happened today." Zhou Yang breathed a sigh of relief, "After all, I can't stay in Jinling. If If Wang Ren is left alone, someone might see the benefits and continue to trick Brother Wen Long into defeat.

Also, you'd better ask your second uncle to check the accounts. If it's just for fun, it stands to reason that Brother Wenlong shouldn't have spent so much money. If there is no accident, the Wang family uncle may have taken the opportunity to intervene and rob the Xue family's money. Put it in your own pocket; if it's just money, find out if he has other means, such as business things. "

"Okay!" Wang Shuying breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll take Wenlong back right now. Don't forget to go home early!"

Watching the guests of the Xue family escorting the carriage away, Zhou Yang turned the horse's head and took the Li brothers straight to the Wang family's old house under the guidance of a Xue family boy. What's interesting is that as they got closer and closer to the Wang family, they also Getting further and further away from the central area of ​​Jinling, you can't see the Wang Family Gate until you get close to the edge of the inner city - as the former founding capital, the layout of Jinling City is basically the same as that of the capital city.

"Young Master!" Seeing Wang Ren, who was covered in vomit, sand and hay leaves, being tightly tied and thrown to the door, the expressions of the two servants of the Wang family changed suddenly, and one of them shouted angrily, "You Who dares to come here and act wild? Do you know who our master is? He is..."

Zhou Yang was not interested in beeping with a servant. He nodded to Li Xiong and strode in. The two servants wanted to stop him, but they held one between them and dragged him forward a few steps. When they were finally put down, no one would think that they were still alive just by looking at their necks that had been bent at [-] degrees.

Seeing that the servants behind him were clueless, they rolled and crawled into the house, shouting and screaming all the way, which basically woke up everyone in the Wang family. Only then did Zhou Yang lift Wang Ren, who was like a dead dog, with one hand, and the two-handed sword in the other hand, and strode forward. He rushed to the main hall of the courtyard, but left the Li brothers guarding the horses at the door and covering the way back.

"So brave, do you know who we are? Our master is..." After waiting for a long time, a beautiful woman dressed in jewelry but with a distorted face strode into the hall. This woman was obviously a bit sophisticated. After taking a look at Wang Ren on the ground, he made sure that nothing happened before shouting arrogantly to Zhou Yang.

"The Jiedu Envoy of the Beijing Camp is responsible for the communication between the three major battalions and their superiors; except for the one thousand households directly under him, he can basically not command a single soldier of the three major battalions, nor can he control a penny of the military pay of the three major battalions. ; As a military general, he was rejected by various martial arts families, and almost no one paid attention to him outside his own yamen.

By the way, if you want to talk to me about Jia Mansion, the backer of the Wang family, my second brother Lian and I have a close relationship. We are very familiar with the two masters of Rong Guo Mansion. We also have a friendship with Brother Zhen of Ning Guo Mansion when we hunt and drink together. If you have any other opinions, , you can directly write to Wang Ziteng to confirm, my name is Zhou Yang, let Wang Ziteng tell you the rest. "Mrs. Wang Ziteng, who was angry at Zhou Yang with just a few words, was greatly disheartened.

"Since you know our master, how dare you do this to Ren'er!" Fortunately, Mrs. Wang Ziteng still had some brains. Seeing that she could not suppress the other party, she quickly changed the "reception method", "Listen to the people below, you are the representative The Xue family came here? The Wang family and the Xue family are family friends, and the wife of the head of the Xue family is our master’s biological sister. Is there any misunderstanding? "

"The way you treat your relatives is to seduce other men, spend money freely in casinos, or even go to the village to molest your tenant's daughter-in-law, so that you cause death and almost get beaten to death? Then I But I have to say, it’s great to be a relative of the Wang family.” Zhou Yang sat down at the top of the guest seat unceremoniously, leaning his long sword beside him and said.

"Just for a little money and a few untouchables, you beat Ren'er like this?" Unexpectedly, the wife of the Wang family didn't care at all, and even had the nerve to slap her down, "Okay, I really want to Go to Xue's house and ask if they really have strong wings, thinking that they dare to do it with the backing of the Duke of Qi."

"Bang - click!" Zhou Yang stood up suddenly, strode to Mrs. Wang's side, stomped on the small table next to her seat with a livid face, and the pure solid wood furniture was shattered on the spot, turning into rotten wood on the ground. , "Mrs. Wang is so generous, so this is how human life is in your eyes? Great!"
It seems that my visit today was in vain. It doesn't matter. If we have something to do next, we can just use our fists to speak. I just hope that your lonely General Wang can catch it!There is one more thing I forgot to mention. Starting from this year, the Wang family can no longer expect to get a penny or a piece of overseas goods from the Xue family and Xue Zihao, and there will no longer be any etiquette. I hope you are prepared - farewell! "After saying that, Zhou Yang ignored the pale-faced Mrs. Wang and glanced at Wang Ren, who was shrinking his head like a dead dog. After going out, the sword light flashed, leaving no one of the Wang family servants he met, let alone screaming hysterically. Mrs. Wang's wife strode out and got on her horse, all the way back to the Xue family's old house.

"Ziyang, what's going on?" Seeing Zhou Yang come in, Wang Shuying, who had been waiting impatiently in the living room, immediately rushed over, "Second sister-in-law has agreed."

"From now on, just treat it as if you no longer have this relative!" Zhou Yang interrupted him impatiently, "And where is Wenlong?"

"I just woke up and I asked someone to take him back to the yard." Wang Shuying said quickly, "After this lesson, I think he can do it too."

"I don't have much confidence." Zhou Yang shook his head helplessly, "Keep him locked up. Don't let him leave the yard again before I appoint him. I will borrow two Xiaoqi people from my second uncle. Come and watch, I guess your own slaves don't have the guts to stop him, so you can only find someone from outside - forget it, if you get more people, the old house needs manpower to protect it.

Don't turn a deaf ear to my words. Even Wang Ziteng can't do anything to me, but this doesn't mean that the Wang family can't touch you; I'm not worried about you and Sister Bao. This kind of thing cannot extend to the inner house because it is meaningless, but Wenlong As long as my brother dares to go out, the Wang family can use any means to make the Xue family's house extinct. "

Wang Shuying's face suddenly turned pale, and she sat helplessly on the chair behind her.

"Brother Zhou, has it really come to this?" Xue Baochai, who hurried from the backyard after hearing the news, also looked anxious, "Even my little sister knows that when my father was here, he gave the Wang family a lot of money every year; this is nothing but It’s only been a year and it’s already reached this point? We’re still relatives after all, so why..."

"Madam, sister Bao, don't worry. After I came out of the Wang family, I thought about a lot of things along the way. At least it will be okay to make sure that the Wang family dare not move before I am appointed." Zhou Yang sighed helplessly, and I can only carefully console myself, "After I am appointed as an official, as long as the Wang family cannot break free from the current situation, they will never be able to do anything to me."

"I wonder how Brother Zhou is going to deal with it?" Unlike Wang Shuying, who is still slumped on the seat, Xue Baochai is calmer and smarter despite her young age. "What do you need from my little sister?"

"Use Xue's business network to release news throughout Jiangnan and spread what happened in the Xue family's village today." Zhou Yang's answer made the Xue family's mother and daughter's expressions change suddenly, and they could only quickly add, "The content is a little bit After revising it, it was said that Wang Ren asked Brother Wen Long to take him there, but he insulted the tenants' wives and daughters while drunk, and was surrounded by the villagers, unable to move even an inch.

Well, to add one more thing, Brother Wenlong saw that it was not the case, so he secretly sent someone to report the news at home, and then he rescued Wang Ren, who was almost killed in the chase. For this reason, he had to promise a lot of benefits to the tenants to appease him. Wenlong might as well say that for He was injured while rescuing others, so he could only stay at home to recuperate, which solved the problem of not letting him go out in the future. "

"Is this possible?" Wang Shuying had recovered a lot and asked in a very unconfident tone.

"Don't worry, this kind of gossip about a wealthy family is mixed with sexy information. The common people love to hear it. As long as it is spread, there is no possibility of taking it back. The Wang family has limited power in Jiangnan, and there is no news network of the Xue family." Zhou Yang He smiled and comforted, "And there is no right or wrong in this kind of thing. Whoever releases the news first can take the absolute initiative.

In this way, the Wang family can be labeled as a bad relative and not on the stage. Unless there are extremely special circumstances, Wang Ren will never be able to clean up in his life; it’s not like you haven’t seen him before. After a few blows, his head was even broken, and with his little ability, he was basically useless from now on. "

"That's it." Xue's mother and daughter were stunned for a moment, and finally Xue Baochai asked worriedly, "Isn't he going to die in the future? After all, the second uncle is a high-ranking official in the capital. If we get angry, my mother and I should not How about you, Brother Zhou?"

"Didn't you fight to the death before?" Zhou Yang smiled coldly, but he still didn't tell the cause of Xue Tu's death in front of Xue Baochai, "As for me, you don't have to worry, what do you want to do to me, his Wang Ziteng will do it for the rest of his life?" Don’t count on it!”
