Chapter 1282 Preparing for a Bloodbath
Originally, none of the Jiang family members were moved. Not only that, they were also arranged for positions, and those who were capable could still hold positions, including important positions.
No prejudice, treat everyone equally.
The past is wiped out and has nothing to do with them.
However, whether or not one is willing to take the position is a personal matter. Whether or not one will be marginalized in the end has nothing to do with Lei Zhen. That is the Jiang family's business now.
Old Master Jiang is no pushover either. He knows how to suppress the enemy and to what extent. After all, he has firmly sided with Lei Zhen.
No one has any say in the Jiang family nowadays, except Lei Zhen.
"Thank you, uncle!"
"Thank you, uncle!"
“…”
After confirming that Lei Zhen would not bring up old grudges, the three elders felt relieved.
For them, it is not just that they don't have to die, but also that everyone in their family doesn't have to die. Although they will never be as prosperous as before, at least they still have a place to live.
"Great Elder, is there any news about Feixuan?" Lei Zhen asked.
"No, there has been no news of Feixuan since she left." The Great Elder shook his head.
She left and never came back. She was originally with Zhu Yuanhan, but after Old Man Jiang committed suicide, she also chose to leave. No one knows where she went.
It really makes people sad, but there is nothing we can do.
Many things are not what you want them to be. When they reach a certain point, you will have no control over them, including Old Man Jiang.
He also hoped that his daughter would marry Lei Zhen and then firmly establish his son-in-law in the position of husband. By then, even if the Zhu family rose again, the Jiang family would not be greatly affected.
But his superiors did not allow him to do so, which led to a series of events that followed.
And now Lei Zhen also understood that when the Lu family in Northeast China started to rebel, Old Man Jiang had already started to make plans for the family's retreat, until the Wind Chasing Killer Organization was completely wiped out, and finally he continued the family's existence with his own death.
"If you have any news, please tell me. Feixuan is having a hard time." Lei Zhen said.
"Sir, you are so kind! I'm sure the old patriarch would smile in heaven." The Great Elder sighed, "In fact, when the old patriarch was still alive, he thought very highly of you. He told us more than once that this wasn't hatred, but rather the situation."
Life-and-death confrontations are often not caused by hatred.
Did the soldiers charge into battle, bayonets clashing, out of hatred? Of course not, because the two sides didn't even know each other, and of course there was no hatred; they were just fighting for their own benefit.
That's why there is cruel warmth in war. A piece of bread is shared, a bottle of water is shared, a cigarette is shared, and then after they are full, they are shot.
"What a situation, what a man Jiang is..."
"Sir, we would like to resign from the position of elder. Please allow us to do so."
"Resign? What happened in the past is over. It was just forced by the situation. You don't have to feel any psychological pressure."
"Sir, we are all old and it's time for us to retire. Why don't you allow us to resign? The three of us don't have much to do anyway, so we can go out and look for Feixuan."
"this……"
Lei Zhen frowned. He retained three clan leaders to let all the families, big and small, know that he would not kill them all. Not only would he not kill them all, but everything would remain the same as before.
If they all left, he would be hypocritical, which would make the families even more nervous and would not be conducive to the subsequent large-scale bloodbath.
Simply put, the purpose of not touching the original Jiang family is to paralyze the various families and wait for the right time to complete the big changes in one go.
"Sir, my eldest brother is a good person and does a good job. Although he is not qualified to succeed the position of elder, the Jiang family is in need of people right now. Perhaps you can consider it?" said the eldest elder.
Hearing this, Lei Zhen's brows immediately relaxed.
"Do you still need to consider it? Of course!"
"I remember the second elder's son was also very outstanding."
"Thank you for your kindness, sir. Although my son lacks ability, he is a prudent person."
“…”
That's good. Allowing their son to inherit the position of elder is much better than them continuing to be elders. It also shows Lei Zhen's broad-mindedness to the outside world.
The goal was achieved, very happy.
Next, Lei Zhen specially hosted a banquet for the three elders and the original members of the Jiang family, and entrusted them with important tasks without any restrictions. The children of the fourth elder were especially taken care of.
This was what he had promised Old Man Jiang, and he also truly admired the Fourth Elder's act of sacrifice from the bottom of his heart.
…
The news that the master had gone to the Jiang family spread quickly, and each family was cautious and dared not breathe, but the imagined purge did not happen. Instead, the Jiang family was still the same as before.
Although the three elders stepped down, their sons took over.
There is no doubt that this news made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that the knife hanging over their heads had been removed and there was a high probability that their lives would no longer be in danger.
So then the clan leaders flocked to the imperial capital, carrying large and small bags of gifts, vying to express their loyalty to Lei Zhen.
The slum was bustling like never before, with people coming and going as one group arrived, just like a market.
"Sir, from now on, our Du family will follow your lead."
"Sir, you are so kind. The Lu family has no way to repay you. We can only serve you for generations to come."
“…”
Lei Zhen welcomes everyone and treats every clan leader with kindness, encouraging them to develop well.
At the same time, the Ministry of Trade was launched again, on a larger scale than last time. All families could join and go out into the world to make big money.
This is a benevolent policy. Not only will there be no settling of scores later, but it will also take everyone along for the ride.
"Hubby, are you just going to let them go like this? So many families chose to betray us back then. Given your vengeful nature, this shouldn't be your intention, right?"
Jin Ju called. She was dealing with matters in the trade department, but she felt that this was definitely not Lei Zhen's style, so she asked in person.
"Making money is as addictive as taking drugs. They can make as much as they can. They can't escape my system anyway." Lei Zhen laughed and said, "Imagine, when everyone is addicted to smoking, and suddenly no one supplies the drugs, what do you think will happen?"
"What will happen?"
"Haha, little chrysanthemum, just take your time and watch the show. If you have time, come to the capital. It's been so long since we last met, I really miss you, haha."
"I can't go for the time being. If you want me, you can come to the Public Opinion Bureau. I got a very large desk..."
Lei Zhen didn't tell Jin Ju how to play it specifically.
Because this matter is still under planning, it must be implemented only when all the families have made enough money to be jealous, otherwise the effect will be greatly reduced.
"Master, I can't figure out what you are doing." Sun Yinhu was also confused.
"Of course we're preparing for a bloodbath. Do you really think I'm a good man?" Lei Zhen exhaled smoke and said, "Every family has its own armed forces, and they must be destroyed openly."
It must be destroyed, and it must be done openly and honestly.
If a forceful bloodbath is adopted at this time, everyone will be in danger and it may even provoke strong resistance, which will certainly not be worth the cost.
Either don't do it, or if you do it, do it right away, and after you're done, no one should find fault with it.
