Chapter 151: Wei
Fu Zhongquan glanced at Tian Hongmao beside him, for the children of the largest family in Wuxi, Fu Zhongquan could not talk about respect and prudence, not that he despised the largest family in Wuxi, but it was really that this era was changing too fast, and he had not yet adapted to the glory of one family, and another family had risen.

Like these old big families in a place, most of them rely on the long history of the family, just like the high-ranking lords of the Central Plains. Although there are not many talented and amazing children, there are many generations of people who have done nothing for generations, and most of them rely on the shadow of the family.
After the Southern and Northern Dynasties at the end of the Jin Dynasty, after the Sui Dynasty reached its peak, the power and influence of the Gaomen lords were openly suppressed by the imperial court. It was the most powerful previous dynasty, and the elders at the beginning of the founding of the country were inevitably proud of marrying the high-ranking lords.
After hundreds of years of culture, the people know the power and power of the high-ranking lords. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the imperial examination was opened, although it led to the disaster of the literati in later generations, and it also completely made the advantage of the high-ranking valve slowly fade. Although the dynasties have vigorously suppressed it, the concept of the high-ranking lord has completely penetrated into the hearts of the people.
It is only in recent decades, especially in the last years of the First Dynasty, that the local Gaomen was first cleaned by the Yellow Nest, and then almost extinct by the later Zhu Wen. These people's deep hatred for the Gaomen Grand Valve made the Gaomen Grand Valve of the Central Plains exist in name only.
In the most chaotic decades now, in the mouths and hearts of the world, although there is still the shadow of the former high-ranking lords, the glory has become history.
For example, if there are forces everywhere in the middle of the world, I am afraid that it is difficult to find the descendants of the original big family, that is, someone has an excuse to make excuses, and it is also the side line of the descendants of the side branches of the big family, I don't know how many generations have passed. Not to mention that it is difficult for these people to be recognized by everyone, even if they say it to others, they are also trembling without the slightest confidence.
It is the most famous Tian family in Wuxi, although they have always called themselves: Tian's concubine surname, the county table Yanmen! But this doesn't seem to make much sense, it only shows that their family has a long history. However, at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, it was recorded that Wang Mang wanted to give the Wuxi chieftain Tian Qiang a bronze seal. Strong has ten sons, and he is brave.
Historical records record that they were not interested in Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han Dynasty, and they actually said: We Hanchen, don't be reckless for the time being. What a powerful family this is, and how much courage it takes to say such powerful words!
Until the time of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there are more Tian families of the Wuxi family that can be seen in the annals of history, such as Yidu Mantian Sheng, Xiaozhong Mantian Xiangqiu, Youxi Mantian Sipiao, Qianyang Mantian Douqu, Fuling Mantian Sihe, etc.
So much so that the barbarian tribes in Wuxi and the land, since the Southern Dynasty, can be said to be dominated by the Tian family, forming an unwritten rule, known as the Wuxi giant clan Tianmen.
However, since the end of the previous dynasty, the warlords of the separatist forces in various places have not respected these big families so much, and they have a great momentum of squeezing, and the Tian family has gradually not been as cohesive as it was at the beginning because of too many family branches.
Since Ma Yin took charge of Chudi, in order to stabilize his position and make his Ma family permanent, he has vigorously suppressed the barbarians in Wuxi and Sandi. Of course, Ma Yin adopted both soft and hard methods, such as he once added his daughter to the upstart Peng family. When cracking down on the forces of Wuxi, the various places in Xitong Youzhong bore the brunt, and the Tian family was the main target.
Regardless of the final outcome, some of the patriarchs led by the Tian family have suffered serious blows, so many members of the Tian family have moved to Shuzhong. Today, the Tian family in Wuxi, although it still has an iconic title, is actually already divided, and it is difficult to condense a plate of loose sand. In Fu Zhongquan's eyes, the Tian family lacks a soul figure in modern times, and lacks a strong figure who can unite the family's forces.
The Fu family is also one of the many families here in Wuxi, but compared to the Tian family, which has a long history, it can only be regarded as an upstart in recent decades at best.
rose because of Fu Yantong in the family, but everyone now knows that they have to bear huge pressure because of Fu Yantong. Compared with the huge and long-established Tian family, the Fu family is really nothing in Wuxi, at most the same as the Peng family, which has also risen in recent years.
Fu Zhongquan was proud, because the prestige of the Fu family was less than a hundred years, but it had once surpassed the limelight of the Tian family in recent decades. and the Peng family and the Ran family of Wuxi, collectively known as the new three heroes of Wuxi today. became a family that could influence the overall situation of Wuxi, and even when the Ma Chu family failed and the Peng family was also frustrated, the Fu family not only obtained most of the wealth of the Ma family, but also became the largest Wuxi barbarian in Chu.
However, Fu Zhongquan still has self-knowledge in his heart, that is, because the family background is not enough, and the accumulated talents are far from enough, and now the Fu family has encountered a major crisis in Wuxi.
At this moment, he is sitting here, and it seems that he is still one of the main guests, not because his identity is powerful enough, but because people have something to stir up, and if he doesn't come, he will give others a chance to misunderstand.
Wuxi has always seemed to be calm, but Fu Zhongquan knew that with the situation in Shuzhong and Chudi, and the progress of the new lord of the Zhou State in the Central Plains, the calm of Wuxi was obviously only temporary. When the situation changes, the first to bear the brunt of it will definitely be these big families.
looked at the Yang family brothers sitting opposite, all of them seemed to be fierce dragons and tigers, but Fu Zhongquan knew that this was not the best and most elite child of the Yang family. Although Yang Changping's house is not the most powerful, it is already very powerful in Wuxi.
Sitting next to them, there were a few more unfamiliar faces, even two or three strangers on their side. Fu Zhongquan was not familiar with them, but he knew very well in his heart that this was the Yang family's attitude to themselves, and it was also a demonstration to the people who came here now.
Fu Zhongquan was still a little surprised by the Yang family's sudden arrangement, but Fu Zhongquan did not express his dissatisfaction, understanding that this was because people were used to strain. Just now Yang Changping sent someone to invite him, but Fu Zhongquan did not show any ambiguity. Fu Zhongquan knew what the people of the Yang family were thinking, but he was also very calm, although he didn't have much ability, but Fu Zhongquan still had this kind of calm kung fu.
What's more, although the Fu family does not have too many talents, they can't compare with the Yang brothers regardless of force and strategy. But Uncle Fu Yantong Huwei is still there, the Fu family has not intervened in some surrounding things, and no one has dared to publicly call the bottom limit of the Fu family.
Looking at Yang Changping's annoyed appearance, Fu Zhongquan did not gloat at all, no matter what happened to the Yang family, Fu Zhongquan only had the feeling of sympathy in his heart at the moment. He also has children, and if his children suddenly disappear, Fu Zhongquan estimates that he will also be furious.
Knowing this hot Yang Changping, who is usually famous for loving his children, as a strong parent and a strong man, where would he tolerate this kind of thing. Fu Zhongquan is still a little strange now, why Yang Changping hasn't gone berserk today, could it be that things have taken a turn for the better, or the Yang family has already made up their minds.
The daughter was suddenly kidnapped away, and everyone would feel extremely uncomfortable, not to mention that it was on their own territory, not to mention that the Yang family's face had no way to put it down, even as a big family related to Qianyang, it was also a shameful thing.
The Fu family doesn't want to wade into this troubled water, not to mention that there have always been people secretly slandering the Fu family, as Fu Zhongquan, he definitely doesn't want to leave a tongue on people. It's not that I'm afraid that the people of the Yang family will turn their faces, but the Yang family called themselves, although the meaning is not clear, but the meaning is already very clear.
Since the Yang family established power in Wuxi, it has now continued for five or six generations, and nine out of ten of the children in each generation are contemporary heroes and heroes. Not to mention the dozens of men in each generation, they are the women of the clan, and most of them are women.
It can be said that the Yang family is one of the fastest-rising families in Wuxi in recent decades, and the strength of the Yang family is naturally inseparable from the strength of each generation. But someone actually kidnapped the daughter of the Yang family, obviously wanting the families here to be suspicious of each other, and even to do it directly.
Although Fu Zhongquan is not very smart, he is definitely not stupid, and being able to get the approval of his uncle Fu Yantong can be regarded as a proud thing for himself.
Although the Yang family is considered to be a powerful family by the Wuxi barbarians, it is said that they are only the descendants of the barbarians, and it is difficult to verify which clan they belong to. So even if they are extremely strong, they are not yet included in the three major families of Wuxi upstarts. But for the legend of the rise of the Yang family, who can ignore and not care about the barbarians of Wuxi?
But now someone is plucking the lion's head!
Uncle Fu Yantong has always warned these brothers not to cause trouble in Wuxi, but they must not be afraid, after all, the prestige of the Fu family in Wuxi cannot be damaged. But you can't let the Fu family suffer a catastrophe because of stupidity.
The Fu family has won the world of Wuxi because of Fu Yantong, but it has also affected the family because of Fu Yantong, Fu Yantong has always understood this truth, so Fu Yantong has always disciplined the children of the family. Because although the Fu family has many children, none of them can take the lead, which is Fu Yantong's biggest heart disease, and it is also the real reason why he has continuously promoted the children of the Wuxi barbarian tribe over the years, especially the children of the Yao tribe.
Fu Yantong hopes that the talents he promotes will be able to help the children of his family in the future, and he hopes that these people will become the help of the Fu family. However, obviously the times are different, not to mention that the Fu family can't make everyone return to their hearts, even these people also have many white-eyed wolves.
Fu Zhongquan was praised by his uncle, although he has always been proud, but he is talented in civil and military affairs, and he knows that he cannot compare with the excellent brothers of the Yang family. But because of his uncle Fu Yantong, the barbarians from all over Wuxi still have to give face to the Fu family, and he has always been smooth.
But his ability is limited, and it is estimated that in the eyes of the Yang family, he really doesn't take himself seriously!
But because of the prestige of the Fu family, he also holds an important position in Qianyang, no matter whether this incident has anything to do with the Fu family or not, the meaning of calling himself is different. If his uncle hadn't been there, he knew that he might be a joke in the eyes of others.
There is no ghost in his heart, Fu Zhongquan is not afraid of someone knocking on the door in the middle of the night. It is because of knowing this that Fu Zhongquan knows even more clearly that the Yang family is always unsuccessful towards the Fu family! However, he came happily this time, and the Yang family has not gone berserk until now.
Looking at the reactions of the children of the Yang family in the hall, Fu Zhongquan felt a little emotional in his heart. If all the children of the Fu family were as talented as half of his Yang family, no one dared to underestimate the prestige of the Fu family now.
"Takami! I don't dare to be ugly in front of Lord Yang, but a certain family has been born and raised in Wuxi for decades, and every grass and tree in Qianyang can be said to be well understood. Lord Yang, if there is anything you can do to help, just ask! Fu Zhongquan tried his best to look calmer, without smiling or pulling his face.
If it was usual, Fu Zhongquan would say such polite words, Yang Changping would definitely not be upset, or even ridicule him. But today's disappearance of his daughter involves a lot of involvement, even if he is as irritable as Yang Changping, under the persuasion of his brothers, he has tried his best to calm down.
Yang Changping is not too old, and he is no longer a hairy boy, he knows that things are slow and urgent, and his temper will only be bad. The Yang brothers are not wise people, and pointed out that the disappearance of their daughter is not a simple problem. So looking at Fu Zhongquan's words, he nodded rarely.
"Although a certain family still doesn't know the details, but the information from Lord Yang, after a certain family just heard it, they were startled at first. I know one thing, that is, if Miss Eight and Tian Gongzi have an accident, who will be the most beneficial in this place in Wuxi! Fu Zhongquan gently stroked the beard under his chin, and quietly looked at Yang Changping, whose eyes were red, knowing that he had already held back to the end, and if he stimulated him again, this tiger might really break out.
Yang Changping saw that Fu Zhongquan was polite, but in front of him, his tone was quite intimate, and the anger in his heart dissipated a little. For this child of the Fu family, who is slightly older than himself, Yang Changping has always been a little uncomfortable, looking at him at this moment, Yang Changping couldn't help but feel in his heart that this Fu Zhongquan is not as stupid as others say!
"Third brother, you will explain the reason for the matter to you in detail!" Yang Changping stared at his third brother Yang Changen.
Yang Changen bowed his hand to everyone first, and then told the story of his niece's disappearance.
It turned out that Yang Changping's daughter ranked eighth in the family itself, and she is usually called the eighth sister. She is fifteen years old this year, not only slim and elegant, but also a young female general who is skilled in arching and horses.
Because Yang Changping and Tian Sihao's father Tian Hongcun are friends, the eighth sister has been with Tian Sihao's childhood sweetheart since she was a child. What's more, being able to get two big families married, in a sense, is a good thing.
Because of an occasional opportunity, the eighth sister became friends with Wan'er, who grew up in Yifenyuan, and they were very good friends, so they often went to Yifanyuan to find Wan'er. This Wan'er is also a versatile woman, although she was born in an art museum, the Yang family has never interfered with the eighth sister.
Yesterday, it was reported that Wan'er learned a new song, so she invited the eighth sister to come over, and it happened that Tian Sihao was also in Yang's mansion, so they went to Yifan Garden to listen to the music together. In the evening, the maid of the eighth sister came back to report that the eighth sister and Tian Sihao were both left in Yifenyuan.
The Yang family didn't care, because Yifenyuan was originally the Tian family's industry. However, when it was approaching the time, someone in Yifenyuan hurriedly came to report, saying that Wan'er's maid Luo Luo bought arrowroot powder soup for several people, and after returning to Yifanyuan, the two eight sisters who were originally with Wan'er disappeared.
The people in Yifenyuan still saw Wan'er fainting on the ground, and after checking the arrowroot powder soup, they knew that she had been drugged. Everyone remembered that there were two people with the eighth sister, and they didn't dare to report their disappearance at first, so they sent people to Yang's house and Tian's house to find someone, only to know that the two of them were gone.
The most important thing is that Wan'er's maid Luo Luo also disappeared together. Now Wan'er is still in Yifenyuan and has not woken up, and the Yang family and the Tian family have sent people to guard it.
Everyone listened to Yang Changen's statement, and first looked at each other for a while, everyone knew that it was definitely not a trivial matter, but the people involved were basically there. Fu Zhongquan is still an outsider, but seeing that everyone is looking at him, Fu Zhongquan made a slight calculation in his heart, and then looked at Yang Changping, who was looking at him.
Yang Changping pointed to the strangers in the hall, and his eyes fell on the man on the left side of Fu Zhongquan. This man has big ears and seems to be mediocre, but Fu Zhongquan feels that this man is not an ordinary person, he should be a first-class swordsman in the rivers and lakes.
"Mr. Tang, you are the eighth sister swordsman, although the time is not long, but a certain family wants to sincerely listen to Mr. Tang's thoughts!" Yang Changping actually had a respectful tone, and it was even more rare to bow to this Mr. Tang.
"The general is gracious! With the eighth sister's current skills, the other party is not a prepared sneak attack, it is estimated that it is difficult for ordinary people not to make a move, presumably the general should know this in his heart! Mr. Tang muttered: "And this kind of sneak attack should be after the drug, although there is no good martial artist in Yifenyuan, but two living people were taken away, even at night, there are many people in Yifenyuan, and the other party is not an ordinary person!" ”
Although Fu Zhongquan had never heard of Mr. Tang, looking at Yang Changping's appearance and Mr. Tang's calmness, he knew that he would not be too wrong in guessing. Now that the forces of Wuxi are complicated, I didn't expect that the Yang family would also have people from the rivers and lakes involved, Fu Zhongquan couldn't help but rejoice in his previous calculations.
"Mr. Tang thinks that the other party sent a master to Yifenyuan and kidnapped Xiang'er and Sihao!" Yang Changping couldn't help frowning, although the family martial arts were strong, Yang Changping also knew that there was still a big distance between himself and the ranger swordsman who flew on the eaves and walls of the rivers and lakes.
"If you are not a master, the general thinks that with your martial arts, if you want to take away the eighth sister and Tian Gongzi, you will not be silent! A suggestion, it's better to go to Yifenyuan and see if there are any clues left! Mr. Tang looked at Tian Hongmao, who was one of the owners of Yifenyuan.
"Let's go, that's fine!" Yang Changping stood up suddenly, and his fiery eyes seemed to sink down. "Rather than waiting here to speculate, someone would like to see who is so bold!" Looking at the people in the hall, it seemed that the flame of the tallow candle was flickering.
Like a landslide cracking the ground, a red blood seeped out from there, as if it could not stop the torrent of blood. It was bleeding frantically from the cracks in the cracks, from the infiltrated walls.
At first, it was only from the vicinity of the wall, but in the blink of an eye, Yin Hong's blood spread from under the wall to the stone path, and it could be seen that at the end of the road, a river of blood was flowing rapidly. At first, it was just bleeding, but as more and more blood gushed out of the wall, it looked as if it was spurting out of the wall.
The blood gradually surged, and it seemed to carry a whistling sound, from a stream-like river of blood, gradually turned into an endless river, pouring down overwhelmingly.
Wan'er watched the river of blood pouring in, but she stood there but had no ability to resist, she could only watch herself covered by the river of blood and drowned by the waves of blood.
The crimson blood submerged himself in an instant, and he was washed by the bloody blood river, and he was drowned in the flood by the crazy blood wave, and he didn't have the slightest chance to maneuver in the middle of the blood river, and the blood river rushed himself into the distance.
I didn't have time to resist, or to survive, and seeing myself being swept away by the blood waves, I couldn't help but let out a muffled cry. This helpless cry, but it seems that no one can hear it at all, where is the people in the vast sea of blood?
Even if he wanted to scream, it didn't have half a effect, not only was he drowning in blood, his eyes were full of crimson blood, and his mouth was full of fishy smell. I even felt that I was going to die.
Finally fell into the ground of the blood river, surrounded by blood, I felt that I was floating in the blood, and I could see my floating body strangely.
Are you dead?
There was a confusion in his mind, a blur in front of him, and when he opened his eyes, it was pitch black in front of him. It's still night, I'm not dead, I'm having a nightmare.
"Ahh With an exclamation, Wan'er gradually adapted to the surrounding environment, and only then did she realize that she was lying on the bed. The bed is familiar to me, or is it in my own flower building. But what frightened Wan'er was that there were people standing in front of her bed, and all of them were men.
Wan'er was nervous, but her eyes gradually became accustomed to the image in front of her, only to find that there were a few familiar faces.
