From the beginning to the end, Wang Yue did not say a word. After Wang Zongzhou left the Crown Prince's residence, Wang Yue said, "Father, the East Palace said that they would support us, but in reality, they didn't give us much support. They only said that they were willing to help us with our plan. Are these conditions enough? Such conditions in exchange for our support of the Eastern Palace, is it worth it? "
Wang Zongzhou said, "But in reality, whether we support the East Palace or not doesn't depend on the list. Many of the names on the list aren't important. "
"When the time comes, even if we don't support the East Palace, they can't do anything to us. So now, they're just using each other. Do you think Wei Zheng of the East Palace doesn't know? "
"He's also clear about it."
"But the East Palace and Du Qi have a grudge against each other. They can't wait for me to deal with Du Qi, so they agreed after some hesitation. As for Mr. Liu's suggestion of the East Palace dealing with the Du Family's officials, the East Palace isn't too happy about it. "
"So, we'll talk about it after we've achieved some results."
Wang Zongzhou said, "In order to suppress Du Qi, the East Palace can't stay out of it."
Wang Yue said, "Father is wise!"
Wang Zongzhou said, "Let's go. We'll go back and perfect the plan. First, we'll use Liu Zhengxi's plan to carry it out. When our plan meets with obstacles, or Du Qi mobilizes other forces, we'll ask the East Palace for help. "
Wang Yue nodded and walked back with Wang Zongzhou.
When they reached home, the plan was already in motion to deal with Du Qi's businesses.
On the other side, Du Qi's plans were already in motion.
In the morning, Du Qi braved the wind and snow to go to the Chang 'an County yamen.
The Chang 'an County yamen was under a lot of pressure.
Winter was not as cold as summer.
Even if summer was hot, at least they could enjoy the shade and not die from the heat. The problem was that the cold winter was a great test for those who had no one to rely on. It was easy to freeze to death.
Fortunately, Zhang Jingping was there, so Chang 'an was peaceful.
When Du Qi arrived at the yamen, he saw the busy Chang 'an County Magistrate Du Chuke in the study.
The moment he saw Du Qi come, Du Chuke put down the brush in his hand and said with a smile, "Erlang, you punk, coming today, is there something? Your performance in the main hall last night was truly a classic. Whether it's the poem or the song, they are all wonderful. "
Du Qi said, "Uncle, you flatter me."
After pausing for a moment, Du Qi continued, "I came here today in hopes of obtaining Uncle's assistance."
Du Chuke said, "Speak. As long as it is something I can help you with, I will not shirk my responsibility."
. Du Chuke ke, Du Chuke 'Chuke, Du Chuke...
... Wang Chuke Chuke's Wang...
What was recorded were all the shops of the Wang Family in Chang 'an City. It recorded many violations of law and discipline in these shops, such as bribing the government, tax evasion, and cheating the people. There were many problems in these shops, and the county government could arrest them for all of them.
However, most of the time, the government would turn a blind eye to it and would rarely bother with these matters.
After all, there were no fish in clear water.
It was impossible to investigate everything.
Moreover, if he really did that, the people in the county yamen wouldn't need to work anymore. They would have endless work to do every day. But the detailed information that Du Qi gave was different.
Du Chuke quickly skimmed through it and asked, "The matters regarding these shops are neither big nor small. Erlang, what's the matter? I'll say this first, I won't help you suppress your competitors. "
Du Qi said, "Don't worry, uncle. I won't hurt my opponents like that. The situation of these people is different. They are the shops of the Wang family of Taiyuan. Now these people are targeting my Du family's business. So, I want to cut off the Wang family's business. It's impossible for the Wang family to stop me in Chang 'an. "
Du Chuke was clear about the conflict between Du Qi and the Wang family.
He was actually a little worried.
But with Du Chuke's ability, he couldn't help Du Qi for the time being. So, he didn't care about these things and let Du Qi make his own arrangements.
When it came to the Wang family, Du Chuke knew that this wasn't a simple business competition. It was a fight between Du Qi and the Wang family. It had escalated to a life and death struggle between the two big families.
Since it had come to this, Du Chuke would naturally not stand by idly.
What's more, the evidence that Du Qi submitted was flawless. In short, what he did was tenable, and no one dared to say anything.
Du Chuke said, "I'll make arrangements for this immediately. I'll settle everything by today."
Du Qi said, "Thank you, uncle."
Du Chuke said, "We're family, don't be so courteous. Erlang, according to your method, you'll only be getting rid of the Wang family's shops in Chang 'an. Although there will be some losses for the Wang family, these losses are like scratching an itch and won't cause any real harm. So, I don't think it'll be useful at this point. "
Du Qi said, "Uncle, don't worry. I know what I'm doing. This is just one move against the Wang family. I have other methods that will put the Wang family in a difficult position and even completely humiliate them. "
Du Chuke said, "That's good. Do you need me to do anything else?"
Du Qi said, "No need."
Du Qi stood up immediately and said, "Uncle, I still have things to do here. I won't delay any longer. Goodbye!"
Du Chuke said, "Go!"
Du Qi left the county office and went straight south to Zhang Jingping's Tsing Long Hall.
The distance from the county office to the Tsing Long Hall was not far. The current Tsing Long Hall had changed from its previous decorations to a simple and elegant one. Zhang Jingping had also changed from a wanderer to a philanthropist.
Countless people would give him a thumbs up when they mentioned him.
They would praise him for his benevolence and righteousness.
Zhang Jingping was also happy to live such a life.
He was happy to be able to earn money, do good deeds, and live such a good life. When Zhang Jingping heard that Du Qi had come, he did not delay and personally went out to welcome him. He led Du Qi to the study in the backyard and sat down.
Zhang Jingping said, "Young Master, do you have any orders?"
Du Qi said, "I have a group of people here that I need you to mobilize and deal with."
After that, Du Qi took out a letter and handed it to Zhang Jingping.
This letter recorded a portion of the Wang Clan's spies in Chang 'an. These spies were more difficult to deal with. Jin Wuque's subordinates could not handle them, so he handed them to Zhang Jingping.
After Zhang Jingping read it, he promised, "Young Master, please rest assured. I guarantee that I will complete it steadily."
Du Qi said, "We can't let this news get out. After it is done, I will give you the money that is due according to the rules. "
When Zhang Jingping heard this, he became anxious. He said, "Young Master, aren't you slapping me in the face by saying this? If my subordinates know that I took your money, who would be willing to work for me? Young Master, don't worry. I will get it done. You don't have to say anything else. "
Du Qi smiled and said, "Alright, I'll leave it to you."
Zhang Jingping looked emotional. He said, "Young Master, you are too courteous. To be able to work for you is my admiration and the admiration of all my brothers. If it weren't for Young Master, all of our brothers wouldn't be able to earn money and be respected by others like we are now. You might not know this, but many merchants and even our neighbors are very respectful to us. "
Du Qi said, "You originally went to extort protection money. But now, although you have taken the money, in reality, you have turned into people who protect them. So, everyone is grateful to you. "
Zhang Jingping said, "It is all thanks to Young Master's plan."
Du Qi smiled and asked Zhang Jingping many things. He also answered some of Zhang Jingping's questions. Then, he got up and left. He arranged things and waited for the news. However, Du Qi still had one more thing to do. He had to go to Xinhua Wenxuan Bookstore to see the money. There were still some things that needed money to arrange.
