Quzhou Thorn Shi looked at Tang Ning and said unconvinced: "There is no problem...... Doesn't it work either? ”

Quzhou Assassin is also a good comrade in the organization, but up to now, he has only mixed up an outgoing assassin history, and he can't stay in Beijing to enjoy happiness, because he can't figure out the emperor's mind.

Emperor Chen is a pragmatic emperor, his mind is very simple, it doesn't matter whether there is a problem with taxes in Jiangnan, it matters whether you can get money.

Thinking that he would be able to win Emperor Chen's favor by governing Quzhou well, his idea was still too naïve, if Quzhou could collect 10 million taels of silver and transport it to Beijing, maybe he would be transferred to Beijing next year.

This matter is not easy to talk about on the surface after all, Tang Ning waved his hand and said: "If there is no problem, forget it, it is also a great achievement to be able to exterminate the thief." ”

Quzhou Thorn Shi nodded and said, "I'll invite them to the banquet when I go back." ”

After Sun Tingshi left, Tang Ning studied the three major families in Quzhou, nay, the four families.

The three major families of Zhu, Huang and Dong have taken root in Quzhou for at least 100 years, and the family members are prosperous, and they are well-deserved local snakes in Quzhou.

The three major families have been in Quzhou for a long time, and over the years, they have not done anything to hurt nature and oppress the people, and they are quite prestigious among the people, and they have always cooperated well with the government.

The Xiao family moved to Quzhou almost more than ten years ago, starting with a business, and the speed of expansion was extremely fast, and in less than ten years, the business was more than the sum of the three major families of Zhu, Huang and Dong.

What is strange is that in the process of the Xiao family's business expansion, the three major families also made a lot of efforts, and even took the initiative to give up their own markets to help the Xiao family, which enabled the Xiao family to become the richest man in Quzhou in such a short period of time.

Businessmen pursue profits, and Tang Ning does not believe that the three major families are so selfless, harming themselves and others, and sacrificing themselves to fulfill the families of others will generally not last for a hundred years......

In addition, the name of the Xiao family also has some meaning.

Xiao is the surname of Liang Guoguo, and the King of Qian, to whom Bai Jin is loyal, is naturally also surnamed Xiao, they have been in Jiangnan for so long, and they have not done anything to say anything, just waiting for Liang Guo to return to the country by himself, Tang Ning will definitely not believe it.

Liang Guo, Gu Shu, Xiao Family, and the three major families who were suddenly obedient ......, he strung these things together, and there was a clue that was already very clear.

In order to confirm his suspicions, it was necessary to meet the people of these three families.

……

Wishing home.

The Zhu family is one of the three major families in Quzhou, and the head of the family is naturally high on weekdays, and even Quzhou Thorn Shi has to give him a few thin noodles.

However, at this moment, the head of the Zhu family, who was high above, did not have the majesty of the head of the family, and curled up on the ground in pain, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead, looking extremely painful.

He grabbed himself by the neck and hissed, "Kill me, kill me quickly!" ”

A man stood beside him, turned around, and hurriedly said, "Medicine, get the medicine!" ”

The head of the Zhu family staggered to his feet and said sharply: "Kill me!" ”

"Big brother!" The man grabbed his shoulder and said loudly, "You are dead, what should the Zhu family do?" ”

The head of the Zhu family looked hideous, suddenly broke free of his palm, rushed to the side, and pulled out a long knife from the waist of a Zhu family guard, the guard's face changed, and he was about to stop it, but he kicked it away, and the head of the Zhu family took the long knife out of the sheath and put it across his neck.

The man looked at him and said in horror, "Stop him!" ”

Several guards had already reacted, rushed up, snatched the long knife from his hand, and pressed him to the ground.

"The medicine is here!"

A member of the Zhu family ran in from outside, holding a porcelain vase in his hand, the man snatched the porcelain vase, opened it, poured out a brown pill from it, pinched the mouth of the head of the Zhu family, and forced him to eat it.

After a while, the head of the Zhu family finally settled down, and the two guards immediately helped him up and sat down on a chair.

The head of the Zhu family leaned back on the chair, as if he had exhausted all his strength, and the man hurriedly picked up the teacup and fed him a few sips of tea.

The head of the Zhu family's chest rose and fell for a moment, and asked in a hoarse voice, "How many pills are there?" ”

"There's another one." The man said: "Big brother, don't worry, they will send it soon, big brother, you can't give up, even if you commit suicide, they will find another person in the Zhu family......"

"Then fight with them to the death!" The head of the Zhu family stood up with a chair, and his voice suddenly became sharp: "If the Zhu family goes on like this, even if it is not destroyed in their hands, the court will not let us go, this Quzhou is the Quzhou of the Zhu family, even if I die, they don't want to live!" ”

He coughed twice and said, "What they want to do is to rebel, and the Zhu family can't be held hostage by them anymore......"

The man showed hesitation on his face and said: "However, if the Zhu family wants to fight with them, they will definitely suffer heavy losses, even if they defeat the Xiao family in Quzhou, when those people in Runzhou come over, we will still be unable to escape death......

The head of the Zhu family looked at him and said, "Quzhou is not only the Zhu family......

As soon as he finished speaking, another member of the Zhu family walked in from outside the door, handed over an invitation, and said carefully: "Family master, this is sent by the Assassin's Mansion." ”

The man next to the head of the Zhu family took the invitation, and after opening it, he said in surprise: "Okay, what kind of banquet does Sun Tingshi set up?" ”

The head of the Zhu family looked at him and asked, "When, where is the location, and who else has been invited?" ”

"The time is tonight, in Tianxianglou, in addition to us, the Huang family and the Dong family were also invited." The man looked at him and asked, "I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd surnamed Sun, big brother, should we go?" ”

"Sun Thorn Shi ......" The head of the Zhu family thought for a while and said, "Go." ”

……

Tianxianglou is the restaurant with the highest specifications in Quzhou, tonight Lord Thorn Shi set up a banquet in the building, the banquet was held by the heads of the three families, Tianxianglou cleared the scene early, waiting for the arrival of the most powerful guests in Quzhou.

When the head of the Zhu family arrived, there were already two people in the No. 1 room of Tianzi.

One of them looked up at him and said, "Brother Zhu is late tonight." ”

The head of the Zhu family looked at him and asked, "Sun Tingshi hasn't come yet?" ”

The man shook his head and said, "There is still a quarter of an hour before the appointed time, and Sun Tingshi will probably arrive in a while." ”

The head of the Zhu family found a place to sit down, and did not speak again, and the atmosphere in the room gradually became quiet.

I don't know how long it took for the head of the Zhu family to raise his head again, break the calm, look at the two of them, and ask, "Do you want to watch the Huang family and the Dong family being exterminated by the imperial court?" ”

A person looked at him and said, "The Huang family was exterminated by the imperial court in the future, over the years, don't you understand, if you don't follow them, the three major families would have been wiped out long ago?" ”

"That's what the court didn't know about their intentions." The head of the Zhu family said: "Once the imperial court knows that someone wants to rebel in Jiangnan, will it still be indifferent?" ”

The head of the Huang family looked at him and said, "Those movements, as expected, were deliberately made by you and disturbed their affairs, aren't you afraid that they will make you unable to survive or die?" ”

A trace of coldness appeared on the face of the head of the Zhu family, and said: "Then make a bet to see who dies first......"

He looked at the other two and asked, "Do you dare to bet?" ”

"Bet on what?" Sun Tingshi walked in from the outside, looked at the three of them, and said with a smile: "It seems that the three of you are very interested tonight, what do the three family heads want to gamble on, can you take the official together?" ”

Tang Ning looked at a few people with a smile and asked, "Can you also add this official?" ”

The three of them looked at him at the same time, and then at Sun Tingshi, and asked, "......Who is this?"

Sun Tingshi looked at Tang Ning and introduced them one by one from left to right: "Lord Tang, this is the head of the Zhu family, this is the head of the Huang family, and this is the head of the Dong family......"

After speaking, he looked at a few people and introduced: "Introduce to the three of you, this is Lord Tang from Beijing......

Tang Ning looked at the three of them and said, "Tang Ning, Tang of Tang poetry, Ning of chicken and dog restlessness." ”
