Tonight's operation, though with a bit of a less pleasant hictuary, was generally a success.

The Jiangnan Rebellion Party, only two escaped, the bandit leader King Qian's prince was punished under the sword of Shang Fang, and the rest of the leaders of the chaotic party died in the chaotic arrows.

Some of the defenders at the South City Gate were poisoned, and Tang Ning asked Gongsun Ying to go back to prepare the antidote first, and he took people to Xiao's house himself.

There were still some important things to attend to him.

At this time, the Xiao Mansion was already in chaos.

Under the leadership of the four major families, the squire and wealthy families in Runzhou only knew that Jiangnan had to unite in order to negotiate terms with the imperial court, but they did not expect that the Xiao family and the four major families did not plan to negotiate with the imperial court at all, they wanted to rebel

Rebellion, the biggest crime in the world is nothing more than this, one person rebelled, the nine clans were punished, and the Xiao Mansion rebelled, and everyone in the Xiao Mansion tonight was speechless.

Under the fright, there are those who wail and weep, there are those who kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, and there are even more people whose faces are like ashes, and there are even more people who are mourning.

When Tang Ning walked to the door of the Xiao Mansion, he heard a burst of crying and shouting from inside.

Liu Tong stood at the door and waited, and when he saw him coming, he immediately stepped forward and said: "My lord, the subordinates and guests of the Xiao Mansion, we have all controlled them, and we have also caught more than a dozen grassland people in the Xiao Mansion, and the strange thing is that not a single person from the Western Regions has been seen."

The rebellion of the prince of Qianwang this time was because there were grasslands and the Western Regions behind him, and these two groups of people were naturally counted as his comrades.

It was not enough to just catch the grassland people, Tang Ning looked at him and ordered: "The four city gates of Runzhou will be closed temporarily, and tomorrow morning, the whole city will search for the rebels in the Western Regions."

"Yes!" Liu Tong responded respectfully, and immediately went down to make arrangements.

Tang Ning walked into the Xiao Mansion and walked into a certain hall, and what he saw was a dense figure tied up, about dozens or hundreds of people.

Including the heads of the four major families, all the rich people in Runzhou's squire and wealthy families are here, and Tang Ning saw not a room of heads, but silver in vain.

"My lord, you have been wronged!"

"We're innocent, and we don't know!"

"Adult, the villain doesn't know that the Xiao family is going to rebel, and the villain is willing to donate all the family wealth, begging the adult to spare the small family"

The squires of Runzhou wept bitterly and begged for mercy loudly, but now, paralysis is the most important thing, and all the dignity of face has been thrown out of the clouds by them.

Tang Ning stretched out his hand and pressed down, and everyone immediately fell silent.

He looked at these people and said: "This official knows that you are also deceived by thieves, but the country has national laws, the family has family rules, and it is a big crime for the nine clans to rebel and rebel, regardless of the master and slave."

"My lord, spare your life!"

"My lord, there is an eight-year-old Xuan under the villain, and an eighty-year-old mother on it, please let the adults give them a way to live!"

"My lord, help us"

Hearing the words "Zhu Jiu Clan", everyone was in a mess, and immediately made a mess again, tears broke down, and Tang Ning couldn't bear to see it.

"Everyone, be quiet." Tang Ning looked at them, stretched out his hand again, and said: "The law is strict, but you must also be reasonable, according to this official, you are also deceived by the Xiao family, and your sins will not lead to death, let alone the nine clans."

Before Tang Ning finished speaking, there was an uproar in the crowd.

"Your Excellency is wise!"

"Lord Qingtian!"

"Please make the decision for us!"

Tang Ning listened to everyone's voice of gratitude, so he could only stretch out his hand again to maintain order, and only after they quieted down did he speak: "This time I will return to Beijing, this official will try his best to plead to the court and His Majesty, and exempt you from the capital crime, but rebellion is a great crime that cannot be pardoned, the capital crime can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, you must also let the court and Your Majesty see your sincerity."

"Sincerity?" In the crowd, someone thought about it, and his face had an epiphany, and he immediately said: "I heard that the war in the northwest is urgent, and the grass people are willing to donate half of their family wealth to help the imperial court and expel the barbarians in the northwest."

Donating half of their family wealth is tantamount to cutting meat for them, but no matter how painful it is, it is better than cutting off the head.

The people present were all businessmen, and no one could not figure out the business.

After the man spoke, almost instantly, a dozen people continued to speak.

"My lord, the grass people are also willing to donate half of their family wealth!"

"The grass people are too, the national crisis is at the head, as the people of Chen State, how can they stand idly by?"

"We are willing to expel the barbarians, please allow me!"

The frightened and frightened people from the beginning instantly became filled with righteous indignation, and Tang Ning was also moved by their patriotic hearts, and said: "Your sincerity, this official will definitely help you convey it on your behalf, and you are willing to go to the right side to register for the imperial court, and those who are unwilling to wait on the left."

"I register, I register!"

"Don't squeeze, you're stepping on my feet!"

"Come one by one, everyone has a chance!"

As soon as Tang Ning's words fell, the crowd rushed to the right, and no one went to the left.

Are you willing to do your best for the court to go to the right side to register, and if you don't want to, wait on the left------ what are you waiting for, waiting for death?

No one wants to wait for death, the hall changed the sad atmosphere just now, these Jiangnan gentry donated silver, their faces were full of red light, as if they had made a lot of money in business, and they rushed to line up one by one, for fear of falling behind others

Downing walked through the front hall to a room in the back.

There were only four people in this room, and the four heads of the family were detached, not with the small merchants, and had their own separate rooms.

Su Zhe glanced up, he had seen Tang Ning's portrait, recognized him at a glance, stood up suddenly, stared at him with dead eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "The surname is Tang, you are so vicious!" I really regret why I didn't get rid of you sooner! ”

It was only at this moment that he finally understood why those people had never been there after going to the Su family twice.

He has long known that the Xiao family wants to rebel, and he has long been ready to deal with it, he did this because he wanted to force the Su family to rebel, and he wanted to use the crime of rebellion to punish the entire Su family!

The crime of rebellion will affect the nine clans, not only hundreds of people in the Su family, once the crime of rebellion of the Su family is implemented, even the Tang family, which is far away in Beijing, will be partially implicated.

The head of the Su family looked at Tang Ning as if he had been drained of his soul, and said dejectedly: "You won, I hope that in the future, you can dream of hundreds of dead souls of the Su family every night, and dream that they are asking for your life."

The heads of the four major families are not ordinary people in the end, and they are not as hysterical as those outside, they seem to have given up completely, and they don't want to say a word.

Of course, the desperation of the head of the Bai family is acted, and his acting skills have reached the point of being superb, if it weren't for Tang Ning's prior knowledge, he wouldn't even be able to tell the difference.

He didn't plan to expose the Bai family, in the future, Jiangnan still needs them to mingle with other big clans, and no one likes to mingle with the dogs of the imperial court.

Tang Ning's attitude towards them was not as polite as outside, and he said straight to the point: "There are two paths in front of you, conspire against the rebellion against the Nine Clans, or donate half of your family's wealth to ensure safety, choose for yourself." ”

The four masters raised their heads at the same time and looked at him in disbelief.

The head of the Song family stood up, like a drowning man grasping the last straw, and asked, "Can the Song family be exempted from the crime of rebellion?" ”

Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "You don't believe me?" ”

"Believe, of course!" The head of the Song family nodded again and again, if the Song family is condemned as a rebellion, not only will the nine clans be exterminated, but all the family property will also be confiscated, and now he can be saved from the crime of rebellion by donating half of it, he has to believe it if he doesn't believe it, because this is his last hope

He looked at Tang Ning and said, "The Song family is willing to donate half of the family property."

"The Bai family is also willing!"

"The Shen family is also willing!"

After the head of the Song family spoke, the Bai Shen family also immediately spoke, Su Zhe pursed his lips, glanced at Tang Ning with a complicated face, and muttered: "The Su family, the Su family is also willing." ”

Tang Ning looked at him and said indifferently: "The Su family is one of the masterminds, donate ninety percent." ”

After donating ninety percent of the family's wealth, the Su family will immediately become a second-rate family in Jiangnan, and in a short period of time, it will never be able to restore its former glory, but this is nothing compared to saving the lives of the whole clan.

Su Zhe closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said with difficulty: "Su family, obey orders"

After solving the affairs of these families, Tang Ning breathed a sigh of relief, the wealthy families in Jiangnan have taken advantage of the imperial court over the years, and this time I am afraid that they will spit out all the food they ate before.

"Chen" He was about to instruct Chen Zhou to send someone to collect the money tomorrow, looked left and right, and said in surprise: "Where did this apricot go?"

Xiao Mansion, Su Mei's Epsom.

When it was too late, the lord roared, "Let them die", then let go of his right hand, took the sword in his left hand, and stabbed out with a sword, and a silver light crossed in the dark night, and Shang Fang's sword passed through the chest of the prince of Qian, and this was the case. ”

Chen Zhou looked at Su Mei and said: "After the adult knew that the girl had an accident, he seemed to have lost his mind, his eyes were extremely terrifying, he didn't listen to anyone's dissuasion, and he didn't care whether the court would be held accountable, his subordinates felt that even if it was the gods and Buddhas in the sky who stood in front of him at that time, I was afraid that he couldn't stop the adults."

Su Mei listened to his story, her face was nervous, her fists were clenched in her sleeves, and there was a little crystal light rippling in her bright eyes.
