"Ladies and gentlemen, the old man has already reported what Yuan Chang Xiao'er did to Lord Thorn Shi, and I believe that there will be a response within a day or two. Yuan Chang erected, many acts of injustice, and Lord Shi will definitely not be spared. ”

Chen Tang sat on the main seat, scolded Fang Xuan, and pointed out the country, so not majestic.

However, now that the major families of Bohai County have united against Yuan Chang, the patriarchs or clan elders of these major families have not shown any disappearance in Chen Tang's behavior.

Chen Tang is not the head of the Chen family, but the one with a relatively large generation in the Chen family, and at the same time, he is also a relatively famous one. It is not without people who are the same generation as Chen Tang or older than Chen Tang, however, they are either lying on the bed and waiting for rest, or they are not famous, and they cannot be compared with Chen Tang. At Chen Tang's age, he can be called an old man, an antique in a family, and the so-called family has an old man, if there is a treasure. It is precisely because he has lived for a long time and seen a lot that he can give some guidance to his children and grandchildren. However, for the Chen family, Chen Tang's preservation zài is not very prominent, except for relying on the old and selling the old, relying on his little fame as a prestige.

However, most of the big families call themselves Confucian disciples, and it is still necessary to respect the old and love the young. Therefore, on the surface, it is still necessary to show respect for Chen Tang.

Chen Tang looked at everyone's expressions, and his heart was extremely comfortable.

When Yuan Chang kicked him off from the position of the main book, Chen Tang was extremely resentful. However, he would never sue Yuan Shao for such a trivial matter, just like a child being bullied and suing his parents. That would only disgrace his own face and appear to be incompetent. However, this time it was different. Yuan Chang raised the commercial tax of Bohai County, which made Bohai County no longer stable, and the major families jointly sued Yuan Chang and signed a pledge, Yuan Chang would definitely not continue to stay in this position. is not Yuan Chang who is too guarded, Yuan Chang is not allowed to be rubbed and rounded!

"Uncle is out of the horse, Yuan Chang Xiaoer has nothing to hide, and his uncle has made great contributions to this matter. ”

It was the head of the Zhang family, Zhang Mao, who stood up to speak. Zhang Mao's wife is Chen Tang's niece, and Chen Tang is still good to his niece, so the relationship between Zhang Mao and Chen Tang is also very good. The Zhang family is the head of Zhang Tao in the history of Cao Cao, and now that the children of his family have been bullied by Yuan Chang, how can he not say it?

"Brother Shude, the He family didn't say anything this time, is there something wrong?"

Although this time it was a union of many families in Bohai County, on the surface, it seemed that there was no problem at all to deal with Yuan Chang. However, there are still some people who have some doubts.

Just like the person who spoke at this time, he was a little uneasy about this action.

He is the head of the Qin family, Qin Hai, who is also sixty years old this year, and is of the same generation as Chen Tang. The son of the Qin family is naturally Qin Tai, the Fa Cao Shi of Bohai County. Qin Tai is Qin Hai's son, so Qin Hai is relatively clear about legislation. As a taishou, he has the right to change the legal system in his own jurisdiction, as long as it does not violate the general policy guidelines of the imperial court. Just like Yuan Chang's increase in commercial taxes this time, under normal circumstances, Yuan Chang has this power.

If he used such a reason to accuse Yuan Chang in front of Yuan Shao, Qin Hai felt that it was of little significance. However, Chen Tang has endured Yuan Chang for so long, and finally has a chance, how can he let it go? Yuan Chang's behavior has already caused turmoil in Bohai County, and there has been a phenomenon of instability, how could Yuan Shao, as the lord of Jizhou, ignore it?

Of course, there is another very important thing, Qin Hai learned from his son about the situation at that time when the government was deliberating. In addition to some declining family members who stood up to speak, He Wen of the He family also had some unexpected words and deeds. This made Qin Hai have to think deeply, whether there was anything unusual in it.

The He family is deeply rooted in Bohai County, and the time of existence is the longest. The reason why the Chen family was able to catch up later was because the Chen family had several powerful children, however, the strength of the He family was beyond doubt. However, this time the He family refused to act with them, which seemed to be a bit abnormal.

"Hmph, the people of the He family are living more and more, and now they are more and more timid and afraid. ”

Chen Tang snorted disdainfully, as if he didn't take the He family in his eyes at all.

"This time against Yuan Chang Xiao'er, so many of us have joined forces, and we will definitely win. It is ridiculous that the head of the He family still has to think about it. Now that the winner is about to be divided, when the time comes, the interests of Yuan Chang Xiaoer and Bohai County will be resolved, and we will not let the He family interfere. ”

"What Shu Degong said is reasonable, the head of the He family really doesn't have the vigor of his youth. ”

A handsome man in his forties smiled and praised that this person was the patriarch of the Wang family, because the head of the Wang family could not attend the meeting, so he let this clan elder replace him.

Chen Tang stroked his beard proudly, very satisfied with the old sycophants of the Wang family.

"Uncle, the person who went to Yecheng has returned, do you want to see him now?"

At this moment, a voice sounded outside the house, and suddenly, everyone's ears were pricked up. The news from Yecheng has finally returned, and it seems that it is time to decide the winner.

"Uncle, uncle... Gong, nephew..."

A figure stumbled in, gasping for air, without uttering a complete sentence. Apparently, the man was in a hurry to get back.

The distance from Nanpi City to Yecheng is nearly 500 miles, and it takes two days to get to Yecheng by horse. When you arrive in Yecheng, it doesn't mean that you can see Yuan Shao, but you have to pass it on, if you are lucky, you may be able to see it; if you are unlucky, it is estimated that it is normal to wait for ten days and half a month. However, now this guy has spent about four days going back and forth, and he is obviously in a hurry. If things were going well, there was no need for him to be in such a hurry, and it didn't seem like a good thing to go in such a hurry now.

Seeing this, everyone present felt a "groan" in their hearts, and they had a bad feeling.

I saw that the children of the Chen family took a sip of water and calmed down, and then said to Chen Tang with some eagerness: "Uncle, my nephew and grandson have not been able to see Lord Thorn Shi." However, the uncle's letter has already been handed to Lord Thorn. Lord Thorn Shi let people convey a sentence, say, say yes..."

Seeing this junior talking in a slurred manner, Chen Tang was immediately dissatisfied, glared at him, and scolded: "Whatever Lord Thorn Shi says, you just say it directly, the sky is falling and there is a tall man on top, what are you worried about." ”

"Yes, uncle. Lord Assassin Shi said that although Bohai County is under the jurisdiction of Jizhou, he has been handed over to Yuan Chang to manage it with full authority, as long as Bohai County does not rebel and does not endanger Jizhou, then Lord Assassin Shi will not interfere in anything in Bohai County. Therefore, the merchants of Bohai County either accepted the new tax rate or left Bohai County to do business elsewhere. ”

Hearing the words of Yuan Shao, which was conveyed by the children of the Chen family, everyone was suddenly shocked, and the uneasy feelings became more and more intense.

Yuan Shao said that Bohai County was already under the full management of Yuan Chang, which was equivalent to not being controlled by Yuan Shao. This made them feel that this world was too crazy, and Yuan Shao had no right to manage the jurisdiction of Jizhou? What is going on?

The tax rate of 100 taxes and 20 is actually not very high for merchants, but the real owners of these merchants are these families. People from great families tend to think that they are superior and that they are privileged. The symbolic tax rate of paying one has already made them unhappy, and now it is a tax rate of 100 taxes and 20 taxes, how can they accept it. If they had accepted it, they wouldn't have done it. However, now that Yuan Chang has done this, what can they do?

Although the family has private soldiers, they are also capable of dealing with ordinary magistrates. However, now that Yuan Chang has tens of thousands of soldiers in Bohai County, if Yu Ban's 5,000 cavalry, Zhang Yan's 30,000 original Black Mountain Army, and Lu Bu's blades, this force is even more terrifying, and the family clan of Bohai County is not Yuan Chang's opponent at all.

As for the other option, it is even more impossible to leave Bohai County to do business elsewhere.

The roots of these families are in Bohai County, and because of the existence of this foundation, they can develop their own industries. In another place, if you want to do business without a foundation, it is tantamount to a fool's dream. Therefore, the choice today is a big problem for those present.

"Alright, you go down and rest first!"

Chen Tang waved his hand to signal the juniors of the Chen family to leave, and the old face was also full of ravines, without Yuan Shao's intervention, it seemed that it was a little difficult to deal with Yuan Chang.

"Uncle, you don't have to worry too much. Now that the Taishou Mansion is surrounded by thousands of people, he is not afraid that Yuan Chang Xiaoer will not compromise. ”

Hearing Zhang Mao's words, Chen Tang thought about it and seemed to be quite reasonable.

"Uncle, uncle, no, it's not good, a large number of people outside have surrounded our Chen family. ”
