Chapter 156: Steward Wang
Chapter 156: Steward Wang
That’s one hundred thousand taels of silver!
Who could have thought that so much money would be wasted, which made him want to kill.
But what happened today was obviously more exciting, because my daughter actually vomited blood. The doctor said it was all because of anger.
It is unbelievable that my daughter, who is so resourceful and magnanimous, could be so angry as to become like this.
This Liu Rumei is really powerful. She actually forced her own daughter to this extent. If she is not eliminated, she will become a serious threat sooner or later.
Therefore, if the prince wanted to deal with Liu Rumei and Prince Xian, he wouldn't mind helping.
But the Xie family never does business at a loss.
The prince wanted them to be the first to take action, but they had to pay a price.
Duke Anguo did not say anything more in line with the prince, but continued: "I have also heard about the big show at the city gate today. I didn't expect that Prince Xian was quite scheming. He didn't even show up, but he gained fame."
What does it mean to step on the opponent's sore spot? The prince's face was as black as ink at this moment, and he couldn't even control the blue veins on his forehead that bulged.
Duke Anguo saw clearly that the prince hated Prince Xian even more.
But Prince Xian is not here now, so the only one who can deal with him is... Liu Rumei.
It's good this way. This woman has ruined their family's affairs time and time again. Now it's time to teach her a lesson, or even better, get rid of her.
This not only cut off one of Prince Xian's arms, but also gave their family a sense of relief.
"Liu Rumei and Prince Xian colluded to frame me, so I naturally cannot tolerate them. If the Duke of Anguo is willing to join forces with me, then the position of Crown Princess will be in the hands of the Duke of Anguo."
The prince originally wanted to bargain, but the Duke of Anguo was an old fox, so it was better to be straightforward.
He didn't want to wait even a moment longer. From now on, he would clip off all of King Xian's wings step by step.
He is the crown prince, and Prince Xian is just a damn sickly guy, what right does he have!
Duke Anguo was a little excited. The position of the Crown Princess would mean the future Queen!
The Xie family wanted to become the prince's right-hand man and gain great credit, but they did not want to be exposed too early.
If the Xie family stood by the prince too early, on one hand they would become a thorn in the eyes of others and be easily targeted, and on the other hand they would be afraid of displeasing the emperor.
Their family has military power. If someone with military power gets involved with the prince too early, he might lose the military power.
Because of this, they have been planning to let the prince take the initiative to propose marriage. Then they can refuse the emperor at that time and he will not think too much about it and think that it was their Xie family who took the initiative to collude.
But in the current situation, it seems that they have no choice.
Among these princes, the least suitable one is Prince Xian. He is too thoughtful and murderous, so it is impossible for him to succeed to the throne.
Not only that, Prince Xian also had a lot of grievances against their family. No one knew where the hatred came from, and they had always been tit-for-tat.
Because of this, Prince Xian cannot be trusted, and the other princes have no advantage at all compared to the Crown Prince.
So after much thought, if the emperor really wants to abdicate, then the prince has a greater chance of winning, so the Xie family has no other choice.
"I understand what Your Highness means. Our Xie family is willing to serve Your Highness at our utmost!"
Duke Anguo took the initiative to stand up and saluted the prince, which was a very polite gesture.
Before, he had been putting on airs and refused to give in easily, but now that the situation has come to this, there is nothing he can do but to do this.
The prince was very pleased that the Duke of Anguo had lowered his stance. No matter what, he did not gain nothing today.
He had been reluctant to give up the position of Crown Princess and wanted to gain stronger support. Now it seems that the Xie family is a good choice.
"In that case, I hope that both the Duke and I can get what we want. I'm waiting for good news from the Duke."
Duke Anguo nodded and politely sent the prince out.
Naturally, he would help the prince achieve what he wanted to do, and this was also what he wanted to do in the first place.
However, Duke Anguo would not tell his son about this matter.
His plan was hidden in the dark, but his daughter could still understand it.
But the eldest son is an upright man and will definitely not agree to it, so don't tell him about this.
However, he still understands his son. Once the family's interests and survival are involved, he will not stand by and watch him die.
Thinking about it this way, he realized that the eldest son was the most outstanding among the children in the family, so he could rest assured and didn't need to make any plans at all.
"Send someone to inquire about the situation and see how the manor is arranged."
"Yes, Lord Guo!"
……
Liu Rumei has done a great job in resettling the victims. The village is now expanding and there is no problem in accommodating 100,000 people.
But Liu Rumei asked everyone to build more thatched huts, because 100,000 people was just the beginning, not the end.
According to the news she received, the second batch of victims would arrive in a few days.
She wanted to prepare the place so that at least the people would have a place to live.
At the same time, the chief eunuch had already arrived outside the village. Looking at everything in front of him, he felt so sad.
He is now over fifty years old. He accompanied the emperor to the end of his life, enjoying wealth and glory.
But before that, before he sold himself into the palace, he was also the son of an ordinary commoner.
A severe drought, like this one, killed his entire family.
If he hadn't been lucky, he would have starved to death by now.
Back then, if there was someone like King Xian who could help them, their relatives would not have died. Would everything have been different then?
He was used to the wealth and power in this world, but now he just wanted his family to be around him.
Too bad, he couldn't do it.
So when the eunuch Wang saw the children playing in the fields, the men farming and building houses, and the women washing clothes and cooking, he felt that they were very lucky.
He didn't expect that 100,000 people could be arranged so well.
No wonder, no wonder Master Wuyou gave hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to the girl from the Liu family. It turns out that this girl is so powerful that she can arrange everything so well.
Manager Wang came in disguise and was not conspicuous in the crowd. After all, many people came here, and many of them came to do good deeds.
It's quite interesting too, that after everyone knew that the disaster victims did not go into the city and settled down here, they started doing good deeds instead.
The so-called doing good deeds means giving money and food, asking only for a good reputation, not for any effort.
So there are a lot of outsiders recently, and it is not ruled out that spies from various families are here to gather information.
So they could only stay outside the village and were not allowed to enter. Naturally, no one knew that at the foot of the mountain, there were three workshops working day and night.
When Manager Wang saw this situation, he had a plan in mind. If he wanted to get this matter done, he had to meet the real boss.
