(A few words before the article: The catastrophe is coming, and the situation in Wenchuan may be better than I imagined yesterday... But it was finally confirmed that the epicenter was near Yingxiu. Of course I have nothing to do in Hubei, but I am very worried about there , very emotionally unstable.
Many people know my feelings for the town of Yingxiu. At the turn of the century, I lived there for half a year, and I still can’t remember the town and its amiable people. Today at noon, I finally waited for the news that the troops broke into Yingxiu. At that moment, My feelings are very complicated, and the eye sockets of the elders get wet all at once.
There is a buddy named Gao Yuanjing, who should be still in the factory building of Futang at this time. The suffering people in the disaster area suffer less... Sichuan is safe, the whole country is safe, and everyone is safe.
Some book friends proposed to donate. Please choose the way to show your love. The donation channels of the Red Cross are easy to find, so I won’t go into details. I wish all the book lovers in Sichuan a safe and healthy family. Recently, friends who are willing, please donate blood and help those who are injured. Thank you. )

…
The laughter didn't last long and then stopped, because Fan Xian suddenly realized that he was too complacent and rampant, which was not a good sign.
And Ming Qingda, who had fainted, also woke up. The big robe in the silk jacket was windless and moved, his fists were clenched tightly, his eyes were slightly red, and he stared fiercely at Fan Xian's face.
The laughter stopped, and people woke up, as if the previous scene hadn't happened, but in fact, everyone knew that 30% of the Ming family's shares had fallen into Fan Xian's hands.
If it is only 30%, it is still far from enough.
Ming Qingda looked at Xia Qifei who was standing behind Fan Xian, thought of the 10% stake in this person's hands, and thought of the Fourth Master Ming who was gradually estranged from the family, his heart became colder and colder, but there was still a hope of luck.
"Seeing off the guests." The old man said a little tiredly as he glanced at the paperwork in Fan Xian's hand for the last time.
Fan Xian didn't move, squinting his eyes at the beautiful buildings in the Ming Garden with an expression of admiration, as if the garden had become his.
Ming Qingda's complexion changed again.
Xia Qifei flashed out from behind Fan Xian, glanced at his eldest brother, and said softly, "See off."
It was the same two calls to see off the guests, but it came from the lips of two people. This represented the ownership of the Ming family and the identity of the master of the Ming family. Xia Qifei had already officially stepped forward and started to challenge Ming Qingda.
All the guests watching the ceremony in the living room knew that today's incident was a big deal, and they didn't know what would happen next. What kind of things the old man of the Ming family would do when he was furious. He didn't even care about etiquette, and the witness officials, including the Suzhou government, hurriedly saluted Fan Xian and escaped from the garden.
…
…
The hall suddenly fell silent. The people left behind included Fan Xian's party and the two men from the Ming family. Although there were not many of them, they knew that a showdown was imminent, and no one dared to make a sound.
Ming Qingda took a cold look at Fan Xian, took out a contract letter from his pocket, and slowly tore it off: "Why didn't you make a scoundrel and swallow this half of Lan Shi's shares?"
Fan Xian glanced at him, shook his head, and said, "I'm an imperial court official, and I don't do business. What do you want your son's shares for?"
He walked to the back of his group, sat on a chair, didn't say much, just watched the scene quietly.
He rushed to Suzhou today, on the one hand, to watch this big show, and on the other hand, to support Xia Qifei. The Ming family has been in Jiangnan for a long time, and there are thousands of private soldiers under it. The village may not be able to resist it head-on.
Xia Qifei stood in front of Ming Qingda, smiled slightly, and said: "The owner of China Merchants Bank has prepared a book in advance, and I will speak for 30% of the shares in his hand. Years ago, the Suzhou government ordered the elder brother to compensate Xiao Qi at his discretion. Xiaoqi is very grateful to me for a share, and in the future when my elder brother dies in Mingyuan, Xiaoqi will definitely serve him wholeheartedly."
With the support of his son, Ming Qingda barely stood in the hall. He glanced at the Ming clan man behind him, with a wry smile on his face, and said, "It seems that many people have joined you in the dark, otherwise You don't have the confidence to speak like that... It's true, this year, my Ming family has spent all their energy on dealing with Master Xiao Fan, but I've ignored you."
As soon as these words came out, the men of the Ming clan had complex expressions, those who had already secretly turned to Xia Qifei looked ashamed, while those who didn't know the inside story looked shocked, only Fourth Master Ming looked at the sky with indescribable indifference.
Ming Qingda took a deep breath, his face looked extremely old, he knew that since the other party dared to grab the position of the master of the Ming family, he must be completely sure, but he still had the last thought of struggling.
He turned his head and stared at Fourth Master Ming coldly, and said word by word: "You gave him the shares too?"
"He who understands current affairs is a hero." Fourth Master Ming said slowly.
Ming Qingda laughed miserably three times, pointed at his nose and cursed: "Idiot! The Ming family died because of you! Let me see how you will meet the ancestors of the Ming family after you die, and how you will face them after a while." To your mother!"
Fourth Master Ming trembled slightly, and then sneered, with a vicious smile on his face: "Brother, I have no face to see you? Last year I was arrested and sent to the prison in Suzhou Mansion. You don't want anyone to come and get me, but you actually sent someone to Assassinate me... Such a brother, don't you have the face to see him?"
Ming Qingda stared into his eyes and said, "The situation at that time had to be like this..."
"I understand." Fourth Master Ming said with a nervous smile, "You want the gentlemen in the south of the Yangtze River to sympathize with our Ming family, so you want me to die in prison... But have you ever thought about it! I am also the son of the Ming family! Why should I die? !Why do not you go to hell?"
Why do not you go to hell
Ming Qingda trembled all over, turned his head and yelled at Xia Qifei in a sharp voice: "Show all your trump cards! Even if the two aunts, the third and the fourth, vote for you, you are still not enough!"
Xia Qifei glanced at him, and said slowly, "China Merchants Bank owns more than 30%."
"More than 30%?"
"Yes." Xia Qifei said calmly: "You know how much money Ming Lao Liu has owed outside these years... He is the youngest son that the old matriarch loves the most. He is very picky, and he is strictly prohibited from interfering with the family property, but he is playful, and he is a person who likes to use money... so he had to borrow from outsiders, and he has no property, so of course he can only use the shares left to him by the old lady as collateral. .”
"Sixth?" Ming Qingda's eyes widened. He never imagined that the key to the Ming family's change of ownership came from his own younger brother. Sixth Master Ming, who retreated, said in a daze, "Lao Liu... Are you crazy?"
At this time, the Sixth Master Ming had a mournful expression on his face, half crouched and hid behind the crowd, avoiding the big brother's devouring eyes. Under Ming Qingda's patriarch's prestige, these men in the clan were scared back half a step by his murderous eyes.
"It's not that he's crazy, it's that everyone in the Ming family is crazy." Xia Qifei said indifferently: "Look at this garden, everyone in it has their own thoughts, full of bad water... Including me, everyone with the surname Ming You are born with selfishness and indifference from the bottom of your heart. When disaster strikes, who will remember this surname? After all, you are still the reason for the failure of the Ming family. You are guarding everyone in the clan, but to the outside Blindly backing down from the pressure... How can you be undefeated if you act like this?"
There was silence in the hall.
Ming Qingda suddenly laughed, but the despair and anger could not be expressed in the laughter. He pointed at Xia Qifei and said, "Do you think you can talk about things in the Ming family if you have taken 50% of the shares? Don't forget, Ming There is still a share in the palace and a share in the army in the family property, what you can control...is still not enough!"
At this time, Fan Xian, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, and said softly, "That's dry stock."
The word dry stock clarifies the situation.
Fan Xian looked at Ming Qingda who was about to fall into a state of madness, and said, "Shares that are not on the books, can they be used in a lawsuit in an open and honest manner?"
Ming Qingda stared at Fan Xian's hideously beautiful face, and said, "Master Fan, do you... really dare to eat the shares of the eldest princess and Mr. Qin?"
Fan Xian stood up, tilted his head slightly, thought for a while and said with a gentle smile, "If I dare not eat, what am I going to do today?"
…
…
In a small quiet courtyard in Mingyuan, Ming Qingda sat alone at his desk, his face had no luster, like a copper lamp that had been boiled dry, he was indescribably haggard. This afternoon, Xia Qifei had already driven him from the position of the master of the Ming family by relying on the shares he held in his hands. All the staff in the house were completely changed.
Ming Qingda, the former head of the Ming family who had been forbearing for a year, could not even pass on his orders at this time. Although it was only half a day, he knew that once he fell into this situation, it would only be a matter of time before he would be forgotten by the people of the Ming family and the people of Jiangnan.
"Why... Fan Xian dared to do this." The old man was puzzled, the deep wrinkles on his forehead were ashen-like, and he murmured to himself, "The eldest princess will help me."
"Did you say so?" He asked a little blankly.
The concubine's face also showed a trace of fear. She was originally the eldest princess's personal maid, and was sent to the Ming family in Jiangnan. One was to monitor, and the other was to be in charge of contacting. It was through this old maid of the Ming Dynasty that she got the nod from the palace.
"I don't know...there has been no response from the palace. Could something be wrong?"
Ming Qingda laughed miserably: "No wonder... no wonder Fan Xian is so confident, so he already knew that the palace would not be able to help us... If something happened to the eldest princess, he would be just a piece of fat in his mouth, and he would be ashamed. You can eat it at any time, and he has come up with so many tricks, so he thinks highly of me."
"It's not that I look down on you."
Fan Xian led Xia Qifei into the door, rubbed his cold hands, sat opposite Ming Qingda, and said, "From the very beginning, you and I knew that the imperial court wanted to destroy your Ming family. It's too easy... The problem is that the court doesn't want to ruin you."
Ming Qingda glanced at him.
"Your Majesty wants an entire Ming family that is intact, not a Ming family that is on the verge of bankruptcy, dying, and finally ruined. Therefore, it is really difficult to eat you." Fan Xian said: "And it's best that this matter can be done peacefully." Solve it, without causing too many deaths and disrupting the livelihood of the people in the south of the Yangtze River... You know that the Ming family is a giant beast, and it is not easy to tame it."
He continued: "I gave you a chance, but you didn't seize it."
Ming Qingda took a few heavy breaths and said, "What will you do next? You must know that I still have at least half of the shares in my hands."
"From now on, you are no longer qualified to speak in the Ming family." Fan Xian said, "From today onwards, Xia Qifei will speak in the Ming family."
Xia Qifei spoke from the side, as if he was explaining to Ming Qingda, and also as if he was giving the old man the final blow to the depths of his soul: "I have ordered that all the accounts in Mingyuan be sent to the Governor's Mansion on Jiangnan Road, Fully cooperate with the imperial court to review the fact that the ships in the warehouse in the past years have been repeatedly robbed by pirates."
