Chapter 686: Five Great Families
In one day, the Fan family suddenly disappeared so quietly. Originally, the six hidden families of Ziyang City have also become the five great.
The whole process, so fast, so secretive.
So much so that many people don't know that the high-walled compound of the Fan family has already been turned upside down. The entire Fan family was also completely removed from Ziyang City.
However, ordinary people don't know, but it doesn't mean that the remaining five families don't know.
At this time, in the casino of the Ouyang family, the five giants also gathered together for the first time in the past ten years.
According to the size of their family, their existence has long since retreated into the background. Enjoy the family offerings without any worries.
But this time was different, the sudden disappearance of their old rival or old friend Fan Jia gave them too many surprises and too many surprises!
The Ouyang family used to be allies with the Fan family. Now that the Fan family is suddenly gone, they have also become precarious, and there is a sense of powerlessness that they cannot support alone.
Therefore, the Ouyang family, Ouyang Mingtu immediately stood up. directly held such an opportunity, saying that it was for the sake of Dabi, but in fact, he wanted to take the opportunity to ease relations with the other four.
Ouyang Mingtu tried his best to divert the attention of these people from the Ouyang family and cast it on the Fan family. In this way, when they carve up the Fan family, the Ouyang family will be able to use their means to get along with some self-preservation.
Originally, their six families had their own allies, forming a situation of relying on each other and standing on three legs.
Now that the Fan family has been destroyed, the Ouyang family has also become the weakest link in the balance, so how can he not be in a hurry.
"Old picture, can you send out the invitation?" There were five people sitting around a large table. These five people are naturally the patriarchs of the five major families.
The one who spoke was a young man who looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, named Ma Wuliu.
I saw that Ma Wuliu's eyebrows revealed the breath of silver evil, and a pair of peach blossom eyes, it is not difficult to see that he has a deep "attainment" in color characters
It's just that when he speaks, he is old-fashioned, giving people a very weird feeling.
In fact, it is not wrong to have this feeling. Because of these people, each of them is a figure of the same period as Old Man Fan. They are all three or four hundred years old monsters, and it is reasonable that they reveal a rotten atmosphere when they speak.
"Send it out!" Ouyang Mingtu responded: "But if you don't come or not, it's not something I can be sure of!"
"What do you need to be sure!" said Rogge, the head of the Luo family, with a sneer, brushing a wisp of goatee on his chin.
If he doesn't come, it proves that he has nothing to do with the protector, and even if he does, I'm afraid the relationship will be shallow and pitiful. ”
"Then what if you come?" Ouyang Mingtu took a sip of tea: "The five of us, we want to scrape something off the body of the Protector, but we can't let the Protector have a reason to be angry, I'm afraid it's not so easy!"
"Hmph!" Liu Rufeng of the Liu family is also a very handsome young man, I saw him slam the fan in his hand and make a snapping sound: "The five of us, together in age, are almost two thousand years old, so I am afraid that a twenty-year-old hairy boy will not succeed!"
"But people are officials, we are the people, and the people don't fight with officials, this is the rule since ancient times!" Ouyang Mingtu tried his best to provoke: "Is it possible, for the sake of this benefit, we still have to tear our faces with the protector of the country?"
However, Ouyang Mingtu's idea was immediately directly debunked by Wu Yong, the head of the Wu family, who only listened to useless playing with a chip in front of him, and sneered: "Okay, old man Ouyang, you don't have to talk so much nonsense." The relationship between us is not what it used to be, and now no one is fighting your Ouyang family's idea, so you don't have to sow discord, it's more reliable to think about how to deal with this protector!"
"That's right!" Liu Rufeng also smiled: "We used to erode each other, but now we have become cold." Even if our four major families join forces to carve up your Ouyang family, in the end, it won't be destroyed overnight by the existence of the Protector Hou?"
Ouyang Mingtu smiled wryly: "Since everyone understands people, then I won't talk nonsense anymore." In short, it is still the same sentence, unity is king. ”
However, when he said this, Ouyang Mingtu disagreed in his heart. He knew the old foxes in front of him all too well.
They didn't do anything to the Ouyang family, just because the overall situation is not clear now.
For a while, they still couldn't figure out whether Emperor Dashun wanted to eliminate their six major families in a planned and step-by-step manner. Or because of some insider information, the Fan family hit the muzzle.
That's why they kept restraint, because once Emperor Dashun wanted to kill them all. They can't unite their families, fifty or sixty martial sects, and they are still a force to be reckoned with.
Relying on this strength, it doesn't matter if they can turn the tables on the Jedi, but there is no problem in escaping.
But once discovered, the Fan family was destroyed. It was only because the Fan family did something that they committed the royal taboo that led to this result.
Then I'm afraid, next, it's time for the five major families to divide up their Ouyang family. Therefore, Ouyang Mingtu didn't have any relaxed feeling in his heart at all.
It's just fortunate that at least these old foxes haven't been carried away by interests and have given him this breathing time.
"That's right!" Liu Rufeng still smiled: "It must be united." But one thing I'm curious about, how did this Fan family come into conflict with the Protector?"
"I don't know!" Wu Yong shook his head: "I'm also curious about this matter." It's a pity that all the Fan family members were caught. There's no way to find out!"
"I have some news!" Ouyang Mingtu said: "I sent someone to inspect and visit, but I found some interesting things. The daily activity trajectories of Qin Sheng and Fan Zhengtao coincided in an auction hall in the business area!"
"Which auction house?" Liu Rufeng suddenly asked curiously: "Could it be the auction house in which the Fan family has a stake, I remember what the name is, it happens to be an auction house, isn't it?"
"That's right!" Ouyang Mingtu nodded: "The big boss who happens to be in the auction house is called Zheng Hao, this person has no background, but he is standing tall left and right, but he has some ability." However, in the middle, the Fan family used tricks, and three layers of shares passed. Although Fan Zhengtao is a gentleman, he also knows the truth that fertilizer and water do not flow into outsiders' fields, so when he needs something, he usually buys and sells it at that auction house!"
"Lao Tu, since you already have the news, then say it directly, why are you always hiding it!" Ma Wuliu suddenly let out a lazy voice and said: "When did you learn to hang people's appetites, didn't you peek at me and make women's mouths, and you know that I am the best at hanging people's appetites?"
"Die!" Ouyang Mingtu suddenly snorted coldly and said, "Do you think everyone is the same as you?" But I really didn't mean to whet your appetite, but this intersection was very short. It's as if the two of them each took a picture of something, and then they went their separate ways. ”
"Where did Qin Sheng go?" Useless frowned and thought for a while: "Then where did Fan Zhengtao go?"
"Then who knows!" Ouyang Mingtu spread his hands and said, "We didn't pay attention to their plans at all before, how could we find out their whereabouts temporarily." But now, I've sent spies to watch over them, and I'll report back as soon as I get the news!"
Rogge slapped the table and made a loud noise: "That Zheng Hao is not a small character, this time he was able to pull the protector, it is simply too unexpected." And the Fan family's industry, it's really eye-catching!"
Rogge's words have a bit of a naked taste of plunder. But it undoubtedly speaks everyone's mind.
As he spoke, there was a knock on the door of the hall, but a servant from Ouyang Mingtu walked in.
This slave walked steadily, even in the face of the aura of these five giants, he still did not have the slightest panic. I saw him walk up to Ouyang Mingtu and whisper a few words in his ear.
Seeing that Ouyang Mingtu's face changed slightly, he immediately showed a smile: "Okay, everyone." We don't have to continue to speculate, then Zheng Hao is already good!"
"How many?" Rogge asked immediately.
"Three!" Ouyang Mingtu explained, "In addition to Zheng Hao, there is also a woman who has come with Qin Sheng, who is the protector of the country!"
"There's a good show to watch now!" Liu Rufeng smiled slightly: "The reason for our invitation is to take out some things from the Fan family in Zheng Hao's hands." But now that the Protector is also here, can we not be lazy, how about we take a gamble with the Protector today?"
"That's great, of course!" the few people responded, and then they all laughed.
In their eyes, Qin Sheng was undoubtedly a rookie who was allowed to be teased and slaughtered by them. This time Qin Sheng sent it to the door, they definitely wanted Qin Sheng to suffer a big loss.
However, Qin Sheng and the others didn't know that the news of their arrival here had already been known by the other five major families. At this time, the five major families are laying out the situation, just waiting for them to enter the urn.
Qin Sheng and the others were blessed by Dabi, and people went outside the city to see the excitement, which made there be a lot fewer pedestrians on the road. That's why the carriage runs so smoothly and smoothly, without any bumps or stops.
In this world, although there is also a luxury car. But no matter how luxurious a car is, it's nothing more than a horse-drawn carriage. The difference is the size of the carriage and some of the decorations on it.
Qin Sheng was undoubtedly very uninterested in these and couldn't arouse the slightest interest. Although the Qin Mansion has its own coachman and carriage, Qin Sheng almost never takes a carriage with him when he goes out, but is on call, and there are many people who solicit customers on the side of the road.
However, that kind of carriage is very ordinary, and naturally it is not as luxurious as the carriage that Qin Sheng is riding now.
