Chapter 419 The Richest Man in Yanggu
Wu Song looked at the confident Mr. Wang in front of him and sneered: "Mr. Wang, Wu Song is a few years older, a little taller, and has longer arms and legs. If we compare fists and feet, I am afraid that you will suffer. Wu Song sees that there are long spears and swords, so please use the long spear and Wu Song will use the sword."
It is understandable that he is proud of his courage. After all, in the past 20 years of Wu Song's life, he has never met an opponent in a fight. The sword is short and the long spear is long. As the saying goes, an inch longer is an inch stronger, and an inch shorter is an inch more dangerous. This is Wu Song deliberately giving in.
Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "Brother Wu Song, there is no need to give in. Swords and spears have no eyes. It is not good to hurt anyone. Let's compare fists and feet. It is more comfortable to punch each other."
Since it was his own request, what else could Wu Song say? He immediately saluted his hands: "Mr. Wang, I'm sorry." After that, he took a step back, his arms drooped naturally, and stood there and looked at Wang Yan steadily.
Really treating him as a fool, Wang said without hesitation, tapping the ground with his toes, bursting forward, and approaching. He raised a fist and punched directly at his face.
Noticing the explosive power of the official, Wu Song's eyes paused, knowing that the official was indeed a martial artist and dared not underestimate him. He immediately raised one leg to block the punch, and then punched with a powerful force.
The official was not panicked at all, sideways to rub the attacking leg, and at the same time, his left arm blocked to avoid the full attack, and felt Wu Song's strength personally, and twisted his waist and crossed his horse, and hit Wu Song's wide-open middle door with an iron mountain lean.
If it was an ordinary martial artist, this would basically end the fight. Because Wu Song's attacking leg had not fallen yet, the raised fist was separated, and it was a gap when the power was exhausted. Only one leg supported the body, which had already broken the balance, and it was impossible to exert force in time, and there was no way to defend.
"Good punches and kicks."
But Wu Song only heard a loud shout, and his body leaned back directly, and the leg supporting his body pushed the ground hard, twisting his waist, I'm afraid that his body of 240 to 250 kilograms was stuck in the air, and at the same time he turned over, using this force, the leg that had not been retracted just now was filled with divine power again, and rushed straight to the head of the official.
This response move is definitely a perfect display of physical fitness and reaction ability. Although both sides did not use their full strength, the confrontation in these two moves at the beginning was already very fierce. Especially Wang Yan, who has been used to bullying ordinary people for many years, and he can't take a single move. An ordinary big mouth can kill people, how can it be so refreshing now.
The official was a little happy in his heart. Facing the fierce big feet, he was not in a hurry. He once again used the inertia of the iron mountain to hit the target, and rushed forward again, twisting his body, raising his right hand, turning his wrist into a palm, chasing up, and hitting with a palm.
Wu Song was no longer able to defend himself, so he could only defend himself hastily, with his arms protecting his chest. He had just protected himself when the attack came. As soon as he made contact, Wu Song's face changed drastically. Under this force, his body, which was originally leaning back, directly changed to sideways movement, and flew a little distance in the air. He supported himself with both hands and landed on the ground with a beautiful somersault. He stepped back three steps and finally stabilized his body.
"Master, you are good at martial arts. Wu Song has not met an opponent for a long time. Today, I am eager to see your martial arts. I hope you will forgive me for any offense."
"Just do your best."
"Okay!" Wu Song laughed, and without saying anything, he burst out and rushed forward.
Wang Yan did not dodge or avoid, but rushed forward. The next scene was a scene of thunder and lightning. The two of them entangled in a fight, turning and moving, and fighting back and forth for a full moment before the fight ended.
As the fourteenth leader of Liangshan and the deputy commander of the infantry, Wu Song's fighting power is sufficient. At present, he can be ranked among the masters of martial arts in the East. Maybe it's not the peak now, but it's not much worse.
Wang Yan thought that Wu Song's peak should be the period of Liangshan's great gathering. He exchanged martial arts with other leaders of Liangshan, which brought about the growth of martial arts knowledge, the response to emergencies, and the spiritual perception of flaws. In addition, drinking some wine to help cheer up, after all, Wu Song can do drunken boxing.
But now, his physical condition is not bad, and some of his own fighting techniques are also very sufficient. Overall, he is also first-class in terms of foot combat, boxing and kicking. He is a rare good player.
In the final analysis, he is still gifted, tall and strong.
Of course, no matter how talented a player is, it is in vain in the face of the accumulation of a huge amount of time. So as a result of this fight, Wu Song was not surprised to be beaten with a swollen nose and face, and he was in pain everywhere.
In terms of physical strength alone, Wang Yan's system is not much stronger than Wu Song, and the advantage is relatively weak. But on the other hand, his body has been compressed and adjusted by his father, and his physical functions are far from comparable to Wu Song. Simply put, it is better power, stronger endurance, hard and durable. Moreover, he is knowledgeable in hundreds of schools, concentrates on the great achievements of Chinese martial arts, and has rich practical experience. His moves are varied, which can be complex or simple, and can be used to attack openly or to take risks secretly. He is definitely not comparable to Wu Song.
Although the two fought for fifteen minutes, the degree of confrontation was getting lower and lower due to the consumption of physical energy, of course, for the two of them. And Wang Yan, with his rich experience in martial arts, fought all the way, except for Wang Yan's intentional defense, the rest of the blows did not fall on him. So for these fifteen minutes, Wang Yan unilaterally beat Wu Song. Then Wu Song was still screaming and shouting that it was so good...
Wang Yan basically used all his strength, and Wu Song could last for fifteen minutes, which was pretty good. Of course, the two of them had no intention of killing. If they really fought for their lives, even Wu Song's peak strength would not be able to fight with three moves. After all, compared to one-on-one combat, he, Wang, has much more experience in killing people. If he really wanted to do it with his own hands, the 108 people tied up on Liangshan Mountain could not kill as many as he alone. Of course, he acts righteously and does not commit any crime...
It was also during this one-on-one duel that Wang Yan gained a clear understanding of the combat effectiveness of military commanders in ancient times. Forget about Xiang Yu, Lu Bu and others, most of the other generals are basically at the same level as the Liangshan gang, even if they are higher, they are not much higher. Including the Jade Unicorn Lu Junyi, who is known as the best master in the world in Water Margin, the ceiling of personal martial arts, an all-around player in horse and foot combat. Although they have never fought, it is not easy for Lu Junyi to defeat or kill Wu Song. His combat power, even if he doesn't add more points, is almost at the ceiling.
In this way, he felt at ease, and silently pulled out the panel, and added a little physical strength... and five points of free attributes, so he just made it up...
Looking at Wu Song lying on the ground, breathing heavily, with his face visibly swollen, Wang Daguan laughed and said, "Brother Wu Song, how are you?"
"The high officials are superb in martial arts. Wu Song is convinced. From now on, he will only be dispatched by the high officials. I just hope he has enough food and wine."
"Easy to say, easy to say." Wang Yan turned to one side, looking at the miserable condition of his own brother, Wu Dalang grinned in distress: "What do you want from the eldest brother of the Wu family? Just say it."
"I don't dare to be the eldest brother. The big officials just call me Wu Da, and my brother Erlang. Whatever I do depends on the arrangements of the big officials. I just want my two brothers to be safe."
"Brother Wu Song, please stay with me as a long-term guard first. This is not to insult Brother Wu Song's bravery, but because I have heard about Brother Wu Song's ability to cause trouble before. Please stay with me for a while to calm down, and I will be appointed later." .You...Uncle Fu.”
Wang Fusheng, who was following from the side, responded and said, "Young Master."
"Arrange for the eldest brother of the Wu family to join the soap-making tenants and find a marriage for the two brothers. The eldest brother of the Wu family is not in a hurry to refuse. You have a flaw, and it will be even more difficult for you to find a good wife. But also It’s better to look for it first, and take a look. Nothing is certain, and it would be a good thing if you find it. If you really can’t find it, Uncle Fu, then you can find a widow who lives a good life and doesn’t have children. "
Seeing that Wu Dalang didn't speak, Wang Fusheng responded: "Yes, young master."
Wu Dalang bowed his hands and said, "Thank you, high official."
Wu Song, who was lying on the ground, groaned: "Official, please find my brother first. Wu Song is not in a hurry."
"It's all easy to talk about." Wang Yan took the gown from Yue Haichuan and put it on: "Uncle Fu, take the Wu brothers to settle down for a while. Forget it for today. After a long day of driving and horse riding, have a good rest. I'll treat you two brothers to a drink tomorrow."
After that, Wang Daguan left swaying with his hands behind his back.
Seeing Wang Yan walking away, Wu Dalang hurriedly ran to his brother with his short legs and asked, "Brother, are you okay?"
"Don't worry, brother, they are all external injuries. They only need to be nursed for two or three days and they will be fine."
"Hmph, I usually see you using your strength to get into trouble. You must have been taught a lesson by a senior official today."
Wu Song was too lazy to pay attention to his brother's thoughts. He let Yue Haichuan lead a few people to stand up, and limped away with the housekeeper...
Wang Daguan is not Song Jiang, not Chao Gai, and certainly not Chai Jin. He does not manage his own personality too much, and he has never helped any heroes who disrupt social security, frequently take people's lives, and seek money from others. Naturally, he has not The ability to make people bow to you. But he had money, an iron fist, and a common disease, so Wu Song was finally conquered.
Wang Yan was quite capable of attacking, but Wu Song was rough-skinned and thick-bodied, so he was full of energy the next day. Although his nose was still bruised and his face was swollen, it was nothing serious. He could eat and drink, so he was fine.
After two more days of rest, Wu Song, the long-term bodyguard, was finally on duty. I practice martial arts with Wang Daguan every morning, and get some tips on martial arts skills after being beaten. He then tried his best to challenge Yue Haichuan and other nursing staff with his backhand, and beat them to vent his anger. Then he happily had breakfast with the officials and walked around.
He saw such a busy construction site in Wangjiazhuang, including some novel tools, profitable soaps, and even a steel-making place, and even customized a machete for him. He also knew how kind-hearted Wang Daguan was and how kind he was to the people who worked for him.
At night, I naturally eat meat and drink happily, and then I have a big dream, and another day begins. He likes life like this very much. He improves his martial arts every day, eats wine and meat freely, and has someone to accompany him when fighting. It's great...
Unlike Wu Song who defected to Chai Jin, he drank too much and always fought with some gangsters who were seeking refuge there, and was ostracized. Even Chai Jin had objections to him. Wanting to be normal, Chai Jin greeted him warmly and treated him warmly when he went there, and provided him with food and accommodation, but Wu Song offended the other people who were taking refuge there and called him a bad guest, so he couldn't be treated like a stranger. It's not easy to drive people away. After all, Chai Jin's reputation has been accumulated with great difficulty. If Wu Song is driven away and word spreads in the gangster circle, he will still be hanging around, hoping that Wu Song will get out of the house quickly.
At Wang Daguanren's place, the first thing he did every morning was to get beaten up, and his anger was suppressed. Then he had to follow Daguanren around and had no time to rest. He followed him all day long, and there were many new things, which attracted a lot of attention. In addition, he was forced to study. If he was not in Qinghe County or originally ran to Chai Jin's place, he would drink all day long and find trouble when he drank too much. He was very peaceful.
Wu Dalang was arranged to make soap and perfumed soap. Although he was short, it did not affect his work, and his hands and feet were quite agile. Wang Yan directly made him the team leader, managing a manual production line, to exercise and see his talent. With Wu Song's relationship, Wu Dalang could not be treated badly.
And Wu Dalang's nemesis, Ximen Daguanren, was not in a good situation. He met his fate in advance. As expected, he died.
Just as the housekeeper Wang Fusheng reported earlier, because Ximen Qing's family and some other maids and servants were collectively ill, the county magistrate sent people to seal Ximen Qing's mansion. Because Ximen Qing is the largest Chinese medicine dealer in Yanggu County, occupying 60% of the market in Yanggu County, he certainly has many doctors under him. So when faced with the situation of the boss getting an epidemic, whether he is willing or not, there are always doctors who go in to treat him and pass on the situation at the same time.
Obviously, there is no miracle doctor in a small Yanggu County. The doctor examined the various symptoms in detail and found no other reasons. He only found out that it was an epidemic that was not highly contagious but very deadly and had never appeared before. Some people have mild conditions, some have severe conditions, and some have not. In the end, it was judged that in addition to Ximen Qing's family being seriously ill, Ximen Qing would die sooner or later.
The county magistrate was relieved, and the group of ordinary people who were uneasy outside were also relieved. Yanggu County has returned to its former bustle, but the street where Ximen Qing's mansion is located is particularly deserted.
It was only twenty days from the time when Ximen Daguanren threatened his brother Wang with words to the time when he died with his eyes open. It is understandable. After all, with such a big family business, several wives, and decades of philandering, he died just like that. No one could let it go. Until his death, he did not figure out how he got sick and what disease he had.
After Ximen Qing died, two more women died one after another, as well as Ximen Qing's only two sons. The disease was under control, and the symptoms of other patients began to improve.
After the lockdown was lifted, because Ximen Qing was dead, the remaining two wives obviously could not keep the family business, and no one took them seriously. Naturally, the group of people disbanded directly.
No one would remember the chef who cooked for the Ximen family. The disappearance of the chef and his family of three was even more unnoticed.
Most people's lives are like this. When they come, they cry loudly, and when they leave, they are always silent.
Even Ximen Qing, the richest man in Yanggu County, did not cause much waves when he died. He was just a laughing stock after dinner...
Zuidonglou is the so-called Wangji Wine Shop.
In the private room on the second floor, Mr. Wang smiled and looked at Zhang Lihe, the magistrate of Yanggu who had just taken office last year and had the same expression on his face. He said, "Sir, are you satisfied with the gift that I sent to your house yesterday?"
This magistrate was the one who had conspired with Ximen Qing. Needless to say, he was very greedy. The term of office of the magistrate is generally three years, and he still has two years. Although to be honest, the two rich families in Yanggu County, one Ximen family and the other Wang family, before the new China, the local governor relied on the help of the local gentry to suppress the local area. Whether this magistrate, the county magistrate, and the chief clerk can hold their positions depends on the faces of Wang Yan and Ximen Qing.
After all, the magistrate was airborne, and the rest of the clerks, yamen runners and soldiers were all locals, and they were deeply connected with various local forces. So Wang Yan could completely ignore the magistrate, and it was not difficult to sideline the magistrate even if he was ignorant and weak.
It's just that he didn't ask for trouble. The county magistrate was sensible and didn't exploit him as a landlord. He just coveted a little money and exploited the people of Yanggu. They were all good friends. They were in collusion and colluded with each other.
The most important thing is that now Ximen Qing is gone and there is no successor. He is the largest landlord in Yanggu. There is no need to make trouble with a county magistrate who loves money.
Zhang Lihe laughed heartily and nodded repeatedly: "My nephew is young, but he has managed the family business in an orderly manner. Now that the Ximen family has collapsed again, there is no capable clan member to take over. In the future, Yanggu County will probably be surnamed Wang."
"Your Excellency's words are really embarrassing for me. Yanggu County is surnamed Zhao, and it belongs to my Song Dynasty. It has nothing to do with me." Wang Yan smiled and raised his glass to toast. After drinking, he added wine to him and continued: "The prosperity and stability of Yanggu County are all due to your Excellency. In the future, you must get closer to me."
He sent gifts and bribes yesterday, and sent an invitation to invite me to drink today. Zhang Lihe can come, which means he is satisfied with the price, and he also agreed to cooperate with Wang Yan to swallow up the Ximen family's property. It's not that Zhang Lihe doesn't miss it, but he has to leave after three years, and it's useless to ask for Ximen's property. Moreover, without Wang Yan's consent, even if he swallowed up Ximen Qing's family business, he couldn't manage it, let alone take it away. It's a simple account that everyone can calculate.
"My nephew is right. We should get close to him. We should get close to him." Zhang Lihe paused and said, "Now that my nephew has taken over Ximen Qing's family business, he still has the soap and perfume in his hands. I wonder what my nephew will do next?"
Wang Yan smiled, but his eyes conveyed danger: "I don't know why you taught me?"
Nothing to worry about. Zhang Lihe smiled calmly at the glaring threat: "There are some rumors in the court recently that Master Cai will be back as prime minister soon. Why don't you make friends with him earlier? If it goes well, it may not be impossible for you to get an official position..."
"Your Excellency is joking. To be honest, the former county magistrate also said this when he was drinking with me. Last year, I also heard that the master was going to be back as prime minister. I am just a small country rich man. How dare I take the risk to get close to him? If the master is really back as prime minister, it will not be too late to talk about it then. You, my lord, should worry about your future."
"What do you mean by this?"
"You have been the county magistrate for seven years. Don't you want to go further?" Seeing his smile, Wang Yan continued: "I think you are from a poor family and have suffered for more than 20 years. After finishing school, I became an official. I was promoted to the position of county magistrate by my own efforts. It would be difficult for me to be promoted again. First, you are getting older, and second, you have no one to rely on. I know that you have been collecting money from various government offices. If you rely on money alone, your wealth may not be enough. "
"How can it be possible?"
"Sir, if you don't have enough money, it's not enough, but you may find it elsewhere. The test is based on the four virtues of morality, integrity, fairness, and diligence. You have always judged cases impartially, treated the county people well, worked hard in government affairs, and had high moral character. These four virtues are the best. In addition, you have done a good job in people's livelihood, but I have some ideas. If all is completed, you will have no worries about promotion..."
