Chapter 400: Three Great Families
Brothers, don't keep your hands and fight to the death! ”
"Bastard, I'll kill you......"
There are frequent brawls in the city today, and even at this time it has spread to the northern city, and this kind of thing rarely occurs in these rich areas.
This scene happened to be foreseen by Ning Youyan, who went out.
Ning Youyan said that now the head of the Ning family, one of the three major families in Guangde, is known to everyone in this city.
At the beginning, there were five major families in Guangde, but because of their involvement in the White Lotus Sect and the suspected murder of court officials, the Chen family, which ranked first, and the Yang family, who ranked second, all disappeared.
The back waves of the Yangtze River pushed the front waves, and the two major families were served in one pot, just enough to feed the remaining three.
So now the Ning family is better than in the past, and even Ning Youyan is a little fluttering, and the forces in the city don't sell him a little face.
But today, Ning Youyan's face doesn't work.
"Get out of the way of the people in front, this is the Ning family's carriage, you get out of the way!" The driver shouted loudly.
Ning Youyan was sitting in the carriage at this time, and around the carriage were his twelve sturdy domestic servants, who were the guards he had hired for himself.
But the coachman roared loudly, and the people on the other side should beat him as much as they wanted, and no one birded him at all.
At this time, the coachman turned around and asked, "Master, which bastards in front of you didn't get out of the way!" ”
Ning Youyan in the carriage had a calm face, he was in a hurry now, so he said, "Since they won't give way, let's take a detour!" ”
The driver was a little surprised in his heart, but he didn't ask too much, and directly turned the front of the car and walked to another alley.
Ning Youyan's destination today is neither to go outside the city to check the grange, nor to go to a restaurant to talk about big business, he is going to Duan's house to drink tea.
Of course, drinking tea is not the goal, and what brought the three of them together today is precisely because of the endless brawls in the city in recent days.
These gangs made the common people afraid to go out, reduced their purchasing power, and made the three of them lose a lot of money.
Of course, they can afford to lose money these days, but who can afford it if it goes on like this for a long time?
So the three of them have to come together to see if they can discuss a countermeasure.
On the way to Duan's house, Ning Youyan took three detours before arriving, and on one occasion his carriage was almost swept by those thugs.
When Ning Youyan entered the back garden of the Duan family, Duan Guoan and Hou Pingshan were already waiting for him.
Walking into the pavilion, after Ning Youyan came to the seat reserved for him and sat down, Hou Pingshan lifted the teapot and filled it for him.
Now is the time for deliberations, so there are only three of them in the pavilion, and it is natural that they have to do this kind of thing by themselves.
"Brother Ning, you're too late today!" Duan Guoan asked in a deep voice.
Ning Youyan smiled slightly bitterly, and then said: "It's still not a bastard, I avoided them three times along the way, do you think these people are crazy?" ”
Hou Pingshan put down the teapot and said: "It's not just crazy, these people are simply looking for death, are they going to rebel?" ”
To fight so vigorously in the city and disturb the order of the entire city is to invite trouble to yourself.
But at this time, Guoan said: "The people of these three gangs will not be crazy, there must be a reason for the incident!" ”
"What do you mean?" Hou Pingshan asked at this time.
Duan Guoan's face was solemn, and he said: "I went to complain to Governor Qian yesterday about this matter, but Lord Qian also looked helpless! ”
"Lord Qian told me that the government officials have been sent out, and he has done his best!"
As soon as he heard this, Hou Pingshan was not happy, and then he said: "What does it mean to do your best, Guangde is his subordinate, shouldn't he protect the safety of the land?" ”
The current prefect, Qian Shoude, has always been more easy-going, which was a feature that the three of them liked very much before, which means that they have more room to play.
But in dealing with the gang incident now, Qian Shoude's easy-going approach is about to die, and he can't come up with strong enough means to calm down the turmoil?
Duan Guoan said at this time: "But have you ever thought that the three gangs are fighting so hard, who gave them the guts?" ”
Hou Ning and the others both fell into deep thought, the leaders of the three gangs naturally would not be crazy, which showed that everything was for a reason.
And all three of them have some speculation about this reason.
The three gangs in Guangde, that is, the dog raised by Jinyiwei, the dog bit the owner but never spoke, which is obviously abnormal.
Still Ning Youyan said: "Could it be, that's what Jinyiwei meant!" ”
This is indeed a reasonable explanation, but the question is what is the benefit of doing this, Ning Youyan really can't understand it.
Hou Pingshan also said at this time: "The three gangs have been fighting for so many days, and the Jinyi Guards have not restrained them, and nine times out of ten they instructed them!" ”
In fact, Duan Guoan also thinks the same way.
"Jinyiwei let the gang do evil, who knows what they think?" Hou Pingshan's tone was not good, this was anger at Jin Yiwei.
At this time, Ning Youyan said: "Perhaps, we should ask the newly appointed Chen Baihu what he thinks!" ”
Ning Youyan's words are summed up in place, at least Duan Guoan thinks so.
It is not surprising that the newly appointed Jinyi Wei Baihu has made some movements, not to mention that Chen Xiaoting is still so young.
"Chen Xiaoting, that's a ruthless man!" Duan Guoan sighed.
Why are there only three of the five major families left, there is Chen Xiaoting in this, and the original Yang family was directly collapsed by him.
So when they thought of this name, the three of them felt a little clumped in their hearts, and at the same time, there was a hint of heaviness.
At this time, Ning Youyan still spoke: "Two, isn't this Chen Baihu to target a few of us?" ”
Ning Youyan deflected the topic away, there is a saying that what is afraid of something, if this is the case, it will be bad.
According to Qian Shoude's temperament, it is impossible for him to resist the Jinyi Guard for the three major families, which means that the three of them actually do not have much protection.
"It's just weird, we don't have anyone to talk to on Lu Yang's side, otherwise we would be trembling like today!" Hou Pingshan slapped the table and said.
As the eldest of the three, Duan Guoan knew that pessimistic thoughts could not be allowed to spread, at least they had to do something.
So Duan Guoan said: "What does Chen Baihu mean, it's not just that we can guess, and what we guess may not be true!" ”
"Perhaps, we can ask him face to face!"
Ning Youyan immediately said, "Brother Duan, what do you mean, let's go to visit his mansion?" ”
Duan Guoan shook his head and said: "My family has bought a new team of dancing girls, and we haven't had time to appreciate it yet, we can ask Lord Chen to come over and entertain him!" ”
Hou Pingshan smiled at this time, and then said: "Perhaps, Brother Duan, you can also give this team of dancing girls to Chen Baihu, it would be better if you could make a friend!" ”
Duan Guoan was not so optimistic, and only listened to him: "The premise is that Chen Xiaoting is willing to come to the mansion, and he must have no prejudice against us!" ”
