Chapter 67: The Choice

Tonight's Wuchang City is destined to be unpeaceful, although the Governor's Palace has ordered a curfew for the whole city, but because the city defense camp has been pumped again and again, the remaining hundreds of old, weak, sick and disabled people cannot meet the needs of the entire city at all.

There are constantly some dark shadows shuttling through the streets, some of them are from the Governor's Palace, some are from the Governor's Palace, and there are people from all major clans, and under the cover of night, all evil transactions will be covered.

At this time, the Huguang Chamber of Commerce in Wuchang City has been temporarily sealed by the Governor's Office, but the real power of the Huguang Chamber of Commerce has been transferred underground.

The old man of the Cheng family was sitting in front of the desk with a serious face, and several of his subordinates were representatives of several families, their faces were cold, although they had been sitting, but their buttocks were not really sitting down, as if they were expecting something.

"Now the fight outside the city is in full swing, according to the news that the old man has mastered, the Ning family has erected a counter-flag, and today it occupies Snake Mountain, and the people and horses of Fubiao and Biao are beaten to the ground." Cheng Yuanzhi said the situation he had little by little, but he didn't say anything.

Zheng Xian, Wang Zihai, Xu Chongyuan and others who were sitting secretly scolded the old fox in their hearts, but the current situation made everyone quite troublesome.

It's very simple, judging from the current situation, the relationship between the Ning family and several of them is too close, if it weren't for the Ning family's thunder in front this time, they would be unlucky in the back.

If it is said that it can be separated from the Ning family, then these families naturally have no hesitation, but the problem is that they are completely inseparable now, especially the Zheng family and the Cheng family, they are almost tied to the same boat as the Ning family, if the Ning family is defeated, these two families will also have to be destroyed together.

What is Rebellion? That's a great sin for the Nine Clans! Among these nine clans, naturally the Zheng family and the Cheng family are also included.

Cheng Yuanzhi is old and refined, and he can see the thoughts of these people at a glance, smile coldly, pick up the teacup and stop talking.

"Now the people of the Ning family are waiting outside, Old Man Cheng, can you give me a word?" Zheng Xian finally couldn't bear it.

Cheng Yuanzhi smiled, "You can talk about what you think, everyone has a share of this Huguang Chamber of Commerce, and the old man is just relying on his qualifications to be the president, but after all, people are old and dazzled, and it is easy to get confused!" ”

Wang Zihai was anxious, originally their family was in Changsha, Hunan, so naturally there were many less scruples in his heart.

"Now that the carriage and horses are clear, according to Wang's thoughts, this Ning family is really crazy, this court soldiers and horses can block it for a while, and it can block it for a lifetime? Naturally, our hearts are towards the court. ”

The Xu family represented by Xu Chongyuan was also born in Hunan, but the thoughts in his heart were the same, and he took over and said: "This Huguang Chamber of Commerce naturally can't continue, my Xu family is determined to quit, as for what you think, that's your own business." After saying that, he took off the hem of his clothes and walked out.

Cheng Yuanzhi looked unhurried, glanced at Zheng Xian, and did not stop him, still with a smile on his face.

Wang Zihai saw that Cheng Yuanzhi and Zheng Xian were silent, snorted coldly, and randomly got up to leave and walked out.

Zheng Xian saw that the two of them were leaving, so he was a little anxious, got up and wanted to stop him, but when the words came to his mouth, he didn't say it, he sat down and sighed.

Cheng Yuanzhi smiled and said, "Mr. Zhizhai, how are you thinking about it?" "Zhizhai is Zheng Xian's word.

Zheng Xian shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I, Cheng Zhengning, and the three families are already grasshoppers on a rope, how else can I choose?" That's it, it's not like I'm dying in one place. ”

Cheng Yuanzhi nodded lightly, then clapped his palms, and a middle-aged man came in from outside the door, with a dark face and an ordinary appearance, the only thing that was surprising was that there were only four fingers on his right hand.

"Master, the people of the Wang family and the people of the Xu family have all been dealt with." The man's face was respectful, but the words he said were full of coldness.

Zheng Xian shuddered, and glanced at Cheng Yuanzhi, who was smiling like Maitreya, but he was a little afraid, this old man was really an old fritter made by officialdom, and his hand was really black.

Cheng Yuanzhi waved his hand, and the man retreated, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhizhai, there is no room for half-heartedness now, I have made relevant preparations, and after dawn, welcome the Ning family army into the city!" ”

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

At the same time, above the Snake Mountain.

Ning Yu had already arranged a night guard to let the others fully rest, recover their strength, and prepare to attack at dawn.

After all this was arranged, I found that my father was standing on the top of the mountain, and his whole figure was hidden in the dark night, motionless, and only the evening breeze blew his clothes to make a little movement.

"Tell my father, everything is arranged." Ning Yu came over and bowed.

Ning Zhongyuan sighed and said with a wry smile: "Now that my Ning family really has no way back, Yu'er, do you regret it?" ”

Ning Yu understood what Ning Zhongyuan meant, if he kept to himself from the beginning, the Ning family might end up in a raid, but he Ning Yu might still be able to save his life, but now if he fails, he will have no life.

Ning Yu said in a deep voice: "Father, this is all doomed, we all know in our hearts that the Qing court will not let go of my Ning family, nor will it let go of the Cheng family and the Zheng family, we have no way out." ”

"yes, there's no way back." Ning Zhongyuan sighed, and then said with a smile: "When I asked you to marry the Cui family, it was not just to let the Ning family avoid trouble, but in fact, I also hoped that the Ning family and the Cui family could truly become a family. ”

Ning Yu was a little strange, this matter was wrong from the beginning, whether he went to apprenticeship or get married, his father seemed to want to tie himself to the Cui family all the time, with a bit of mystery.

Ning Zhongyuan smiled, "The reason is very simple, I was a brother with your teacher back then, and we were both studying in the academy at that time, and we were each other's confidants." ”

"It's just that we have always had a big disagreement, forget it, don't talk about it, it's useless to talk about it now, I hope you will have the opportunity to get your teacher's teaching in the future."

Ning Yu vaguely guessed something, and was about to ask, but found that there was a howl in Wuchang City under the mountain, and then there was a firelight, which was not concentrated in one place, but appeared everywhere in the city.

"The shadow has succeeded, and the Qing army under the mountain is estimated to move!" Ning Yu's eyes were full of fire,

At this time, the Qing troops under the mountain also discovered the abnormal movements in Wuchang City, which caused a riot, especially the Qing soldiers in the city defense camp, which almost caused a riot, and the entire camp was in chaos. But this is also normal, because the Qing army in the city defense camp originally had their families in the city, and when something happened in the city, they were naturally concerned about their every move.
