Shen Chen showed no mercy at all, and everyone was frightened by his behavior.
This time he really exposed Liu Biping's mask completely, which was almost equivalent to officially declaring war on Liu Biping.
But where did he get the courage
Nobody understands.
Even the people of the Wang family couldn't help shaking their heads when they went back to report to the old master: "The Imperial Envoy is still too young. This was originally a good hand, but now it seems... "
The old man of the Wang family was a Taoist who kept talking about making elixirs all day long. He was displeased when he heard this: "Is the Imperial Envoy young?"
He snorted coldly, and when he saw that the younger generations had straightened their backs and stopped talking, he said in a deep voice: "If you were really young and ignorant, you wouldn't have come to this point, and the real purpose would be exposed, and Liu Biping's true strength would be forced out. You only saw Liu Biping's killer moves step by step, and thought that the imperial envoy couldn't handle it, but did you realize that over the years, there have been many imperial envoys coming to Fujian, and who made Liu Biping use such a big fuss?"
Actually, there isn't one.
Seriously speaking, Liu Biping never took other imperial envoys seriously.
Some of those imperial envoys had offended him and had a hard time with him, but most of them met with trouble before they had a chance to have a hard time with Liu Biping.
There was only one person, Shen Chen, who had become a thorn in Liu Biping's side from the very beginning.
To have this ability already explains something.
All the young men in the Wang family lowered their heads and listened to him attentively.
Mr. Wang took a few steps forward and stood in front of the old man. He poured him a cup of lotus leaf tea and laughed, "You are right. How can your sons have such a keen eye? Please give us some pointers."
Old Master Wang snorted, took a sip of tea, raised his eyebrows and looked at them, smacked his lips and said, "Don't you think about it? You all know about it, but how come the Imperial Envoy doesn't know? Since he knows, he still goes against the Governor. Is he a fool? Don't forget that the Prince of Linjiang is over there now, and he has won a great victory."
Prince Linjiang solved the biggest worry of Emperor Longqing in one fell swoop, which was no small achievement - Emperor Longqing couldn't eat or sleep because of Prince Jin's rebellion, and he was holding a grudge in his heart, thinking that he had misjudged Prince Jin. Now Prince Linjiang was clearly submissive, thinking about Emperor Longqing everywhere, and doing everything according to Emperor Longqing's wishes. He had become Emperor Longqing's most pleasing brother.
As a result, Shen Chen's status also rose sharply. Although he had a falling out with Princess Linjiang and King Linjiang, everyone still regarded him as a member of the Linjiang Palace. Moreover, King Linjiang had always been kind to this adopted son.
Emperor Longqing wanted to win over Shen Chen and keep him by his side to restrain Prince Linjiang, which would only be better for Shen Chen.
So Shen Chen gradually changed from being defensive at the beginning to being fearless.
There is no need to be afraid. What else is there to be afraid of? Now is the time for him to walk sideways. No one can do anything to him.
Wouldn't it be stupid of him not to take advantage of such a good opportunity to deal with Liu Biping
Mr. Wang glanced at his old man, clicked his tongue, and then thought, "So the imperial envoy deliberately didn't give the governor face today and pointed his sword directly at the governor?"
Old Master Wang tapped his pipe and smiled for a while without saying anything.
Mr. Wang and a group of young men from the Wang family's direct lineage were looking at him, waiting for him to speak.
After a long pause, Old Master Wang said, "This imperial envoy is not someone you can easily mess with. The governor has been hunting geese all day, and I'm afraid he will be plucked in the eye by a goose."
What this means is that Old Master Wang actually thinks that Shen Chen will win the fight between him and Liu Biping
Mr. Wang knew that his old man was a shrewd man. He was a very smart man and almost never made a wrong bet. Also because of his extra caution, the Wang family and the Liu family had always kept their distance from each other, and the Wang family could still sit firmly in the second seat among the four major families even when the Liu family was more powerful.
Old Master Wang no longer kept the secret, glanced at his son, hummed, and said lightly: "The imperial envoy is not an ordinary person, just wait and see, since he dares to do this, he must have something to rely on."
It was as if he had said nothing. Master Wang coughed and looked at his father. He asked without hesitation, "So what do you mean, what should we do now?"
The imperial envoy had a direct quarrel with Liu Biping. Under such circumstances, the four major families had to express their stance.
Needless to say, Mr. Xu will definitely stand on Shen Chen's side - he and Shen Chen have already formed an alliance. Even Mr. Chen hates the Liu family because of Xu Jiaojiao's matter, so he is very likely to stand on Shen Chen's side.
So now it is crucial for us to stand on the side.
This was a matter of life and death and the future of the family. He looked at his old man and advised, "Don't keep us in suspense. Give us an idea. What should we do?"
Old Master Wang tapped his pipe on the table and said without hesitation, "For so many years, the surname Liu has been in Rongcheng. It's time to change this situation. Nothing can stay the same. If it's up to me, we have to fight for it."
Mr. Wang understood.
The other descendants of the Wang family also understood what the old man meant. After a pause, someone spoke slowly: "But, if Shen Chen can't defeat the Governor..."
"How can we not win?" Old Master Wang sneered, "Now is the best time. Shen Chen has someone in the court and is in great favor with the emperor. What does the governor have now? A bunch of messes and troubles. What's more, three of the four major families are on Shen Chen's side. If Shen Chen still can't win, then how can he win?"
He looked at Master Wang earnestly and said loudly, "We should have a long-term vision. This is the best opportunity. Once successful, our relationship with the court... will be much closer. We are working for Shen Chen just like the Chen and Xu families. Is it possible that our achievements will be less? Choosing a side now will have its own advantages."
This made sense. After a moment of silent discussion, everyone felt that what the old man said was very true.
Mr. Wang hesitated and said, "This time, we will naturally stand on the side of the Imperial Envoy. I just don't know what we can do to help the Imperial Envoy..."
Old Master Wang smiled at him and said, "There are so many things we can do. Let's talk about this matter first. We are locals in Rongcheng. Can't we help in any way?"
In order for others to accept you as an ally, you must also demonstrate your own value and let them see how much you can do for them. This is the true attitude of cooperation.
