At the banquet, Tang Bohu sighed and said that Yuchan is also pregnant, and the family is going to add Ding and mouth again, which is of course a happy event, but the expenses have also increased, and I can't help but feel a little pressure.

"Qiu Xiang, you won't have it too, will you?" asked Qiu Xiang.

Qiu Xiang's face was red and silent, and everyone understood when they saw this situation.

Besides, he said with a smile: "Brother Bohu, you are really prolific, if you have this efficiency in calligraphy and painting, you will not be able to do it a long time ago." ”

"Nonsense, people give birth to children in their stomachs, do we have so many words and paintings in our stomachs?" Tang Bohu said distressedly.

He desperately chased Qiuxiang last year, and Yuchan was inserted in the middle, and then he was busy preparing for the wedding, and these days he has to turn his head to deal with the affairs of this family.

After the banquet, Sisi, Pomegranate, and Xiao Nier each gave Huzi ten taels of silver as a meeting gift, and the happy Huzi called "Niang", and the faces of several beauties were red and white.

Besides, Pomegranate and Xiao Nier returned to the old house of the Kuang family, and everyone sat down to drink tea.

Pomegranate asked Xiao Nier what she and Zuo Ling were busy with, why they didn't meet each other these days, Xiao Nier said something about Zuo Ling's business before perfunctory.

"Bohu's half-dead being dragged down by two families can be said to be a lesson for some people who also want to follow suit. "Pomegranate is a bit yin and yang.

Besides, he pretended to be confused and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, Bohu is asking for trouble." ”

"You didn't think about letting Zuo Ling be the second of Qiu Xiang and come out like this?" Seeing that he was pretending to be confused, Pomegranate directly broke it.

"I think it's useful, people don't do it. "Besides, I just kicked the ball out.

"You still want to say that, you have a thief's heart and no thief's guts, right? Pomegranate's tone was pantothenic again.

"I didn't say I wanted to, I just said it was useless for me to think about it. Besides, he quibbled.

"Well, if you can afford to raise two families, I'm not very opposed. "Pomegranate said quietly.

"Yes, don't test me, I really don't mean that, and Zuo Ling is not Qiu Xiang, people are rich, they don't need me to raise them at all, and they live very well." "Besides, it's a little flaring.

"I'm saying good things, and I'm thinking about you, and I don't listen to it. Pomegranate got impatient.

"What are you two doing, you two are tempting every day, are you tired? Xiao Nier smiled wryly on the side.

"I'm not tempting him, I'm telling the truth. Didn't Zuo Ling ask for anything?" said Pomegranate frankly.

"What did she say to me? I didn't even see her, what did she say to me. "Besides, my face is a little hot, this is talking nonsense with my eyes open, there is no way, I can only say this, otherwise it will be super troublesome.

"Then wait for her to tell you herself. "Pomegranate has nothing to say.

Besides, he gritted his teeth with hatred, Pomegranate and Zuo Ling's sum was good, and he rubbed him in a different way, but he couldn't afford to provoke anyone.

After Pomegranate left, she asked Xiao Nier if Zuo Ling had anything to say to her.

She said a lot, but none of them involved pomegranates, and she never talked about pomegranates. Xiao Nier was also at a loss.

"Forget it, it's up to the two of them to play their tricks. ”

"Sister Zuo doesn't seem to be playing any tricks, she just wants to live a free life by her own temperament, no matter what Pomegranate thinks or says, she won't care about you. Xiao Nier laughed.

"If she really thinks like that, I'll recite Amitabha. "Besides, put your hands together.

On the third day after Zheng Long's funeral, the plot became public, and the forces of the seven major families openly drove into Fuzhou and divided the Zheng family in Fuzhou. The Zheng family does not have Zheng Long as the backbone, and it cannot form a cohesive force at all, and many of the following branches have taken refuge in the seven major families respectively.

The Seven Great Families did not kill them all, but left some property for the Zheng family to survive, and it was also to prevent them from jumping over the wall in a hurry and burning jade with the Seven Great Families.

Although the seven families are not afraid of tossing, it is of course best if they can peacefully receive the huge inheritance of the Zheng family, and it is still not worth it to fight to the death with the Zheng family for the last few interests. Of course, after all, the Zheng family has been operating in Fuzhou for many years, and it is not so easy to go in one pot.

The king's organization abides by the agreement and does not go ashore to participate in the division of the drama, but they reach an agreement with the seven families to truce the war within five years, but the seven families have to pay the annual payment, if both parties can abide by the agreement, this will be a permanent agreement between the two parties in the future.

This can be said to be a great joy, although the seven families pay a lot of money every year, but the sea smuggling route is unblocked, and the profits will naturally double, and at the same time, the fat of the Zheng family is enough for the seven families to live comfortably for a few years.

The Seven Great Families were not afraid of the imperial court, but were afraid of the royal organization. If the imperial court encircled and suppressed them too harshly, they would go to the sea to cut off the foreign trade of the imperial court, and the imperial court was not happy to see this, after all, a large part of the national treasury revenue came from overseas trade. Tea, silk, porcelain, these commodities that are not very expensive in the local area can be exchanged for a shipload of silver, which is exactly what the imperial court urgently needs, and if it only relies on local silver, the imperial court will not be able to operate the huge imperial machine.

The same is true of the fear of the Seven Great Families' Monarchical Organization, their trick to the imperial court is to go to the sea to cut off the maritime trade routes, and the Monarch Organization is even more ruthless, and their approach is to uproot all the maritime dens of the Seven Great Families.

Therefore, after deliberation, the seven major families decided that as long as they reached a comprehensive armistice agreement with the monarch's organization, even if they paid a certain price, it would be worth it, so that they would have more confidence in the imperial court, and as for the annual money paid, only a part of the Zheng family's property divided was enough to compensate.

After the partition of Fuzhou was completed, the Seven Great Families and the Monarch Organization formally signed an agreement, and the two sides had a complete truce at sea.

Not long after, the siege and interception of the Zheng family by the King of Qin's party on land also stopped.

Besides, he didn't know this, and no one informed him, let alone reported it, which was contrary to his spirit of "chasing the poor", and it was even more like a famous overlord.

He doesn't know, even if he knows, he can't interfere, the only people he can command now are Zhou Dingcheng and Xiaojun, and Xiaojun is still a friendly sponsor.

On the seventh day after Zheng Long's funeral, Zheng Haoguang, the patriarch of the Zheng family, committed suicide by hanging himself at home due to despair and depression.

Ying Tianfu still has a strong sense of rhythm for the Zheng family's successive deaths, and he feels very incomprehensible, and he always feels that although the disaster is not a one-way street, it is too coincidental.

No matter what the Zheng family thought, they still came to the Zheng Mansion to investigate the scene, looking for all possible signs of man-made, but in the end they could only end up with no gain, and wrote on the file: suicide.

Motivation: Due to family difficulties, unable to see the future, depressed and hopeless.

The motive for suicide is fully established.

The Zheng family is angry, isn't this bullying people? His own family is already unlucky enough, Ying Tianfu is still adding fuel to the fire, no matter how bad his own house is, there are hundreds of people who take care of the family's nursing home, not to mention outsiders coming in, even a fly flying in can be seen clearly.

Although the 200 people who rushed from Fuzhou had declined in combat effectiveness, they were still more than enough to take care of the family.

"Hmph, the little Ying Tianfu also dares to fight with the master, and the master doesn't play you to death. Xiao Jun looked at the Ying Tianfu dukes who came in and out, with contempt and disdain, and turned his back with his hands on his back, full of ambition.

Zheng Haonan and others are really mourning Kaoyan now, as for Kao is really mourning, his father has just died for seven days, and he has been dead for many years.

The line of Fuzhou was finally opened, and all the news was bad news, although the clansmen still kept a piece of land, but in the future, they could only be in a corner of peace, and they were unable to rise again.

There is no part of smuggling at sea, this is to cut off their financial resources, and it is even more unfeasible to be pirates, not to mention the king's organization, even the seven great families can wipe out their power on the sea.

After Zheng Haoguang's death, Zheng Haonan should replace the patriarch in order, and now everyone regards him as the leader, and he naturally becomes Xiaojun's next target.

"The land route has been smoothed, and there is no need to implement the plan to go north, so let's return to Fuzhou by the same route. Zheng Haonan also has no intention of making long-term plans.

They originally planned to return to Fuzhou by sea in the north, but also hoped to revive some strongholds in the north, but now with three coffins, it is obviously not suitable for long-distance travel, and the threat on land is not great, of course, it is better to return the same way.

"But now we don't know if we will be robbed and killed after we go back, in my opinion, it is better to go north to insure and stay for a while to observe the movement. Zheng Haomiao still stuck to his original plan.

"Can anyone contact the Qinwang faction to test their meaning, and if they want to collect protection money, we will admit it. Zheng Haonan gritted his teeth and said.

"No one can get in touch, only through it. Zheng Haomiao sighed.

"No, let's offend him to death, he can't wait for us to die to relieve his anger, how can he help?" Zheng Haonan shook his head again and again.

"If that's the case, the Qinwang faction won't be soft on us at all, according to the analysis of my father and eldest brother, besides, we are the leaders of the Qinwang faction. Zheng Haomiao said.

"It's just a rumor, not necessarily credible. "Zheng Hao, Nanning is credible.

At first, it was Zheng Haonan who thought that it was related to the Qinwang faction and the king organization, and this family disaster was also because he started the Wanli Rush, which caused Zheng Long and others to stay away from the family center, otherwise, as long as Zheng Long was in Fuzhou, the seven families would never dare to do anything to the Zheng family.

Now, Zheng Haonan wishfully thinks that it may have little to do with the Qinwang faction, and he is not short-circuited in his brain, but he is doing everything possible to find a reason to return the way he came, so he can only hope for his ostrich thinking.

"Besides, don't count on it there, he wrote a banner to Wei Guogong, which read: It is advisable to chase after the poor and brave, and not to become a scholar overlord, which shows his determination to kill us completely. Zheng Haomin sighed.

This verse is so domineering that it is hard to imagine that it was written by an eighteen-year-old man. Zheng Haonan couldn't help but say after appreciating.

"How do you know about the banner in Wei Guogong's hand? You don't have a dark line in the palace, right?" asked Zheng Haomiao.
