Chapter 579: Unexpected News
Steward Zhang finally realized something, his face changed wildly, and he was shocked: "You, your Gu poison has been cured!" ”
The head of the Zhu family waved his hand and said, "Take it!" ”
Before the flute in Steward Zhang's hand was put down, it was taken down by the Zhu family guards who rushed up.
He looked at the head of the Zhu family, suppressed the fear in his heart, and said sharply: "The surname Zhu, if you dare to betray us, the Xiao Mansion will let you destroy the Zhu family!" ”
"Take care of yourself first...... The head of the Zhu family looked at him, a trace of coldness appeared on his face, and said: "In order to thank Steward Zhang for taking care of Zhu over the years, Zhu has also prepared a big gift for you......"
After a while, Steward Zhang looked at a big pit in front of him, which was full of centipedes, spiders, poisonous snakes and other poisonous insects, and said in horror: "Surnamed Zhu, what do you want to do!" ”
The head of the Zhu family waved his hand, and the Zhu family guards pushed him directly into the pit, and then covered the pit with a wooden plank.
"Let me out, let me out!"
"Go away, don't bite me, don't bite me!"
"Don't bite there, don't bite there!"
……
Listening to the screams coming from the pit, the face of the head of the Zhu family showed an extremely happy expression.
Without the three major families to be afraid of, it only took one day to clean up a Xiao family.
In just one day, the Xiao family's business in Quzhou was blocked by many parties, and it was divided up by the three major families.
As for the people in the Xiao Mansion, they were all arrested and imprisoned because of the various criminal evidence reported by the three major families.
In this stronghold of the Xiao Mansion, there are actually a few people who know Gu arts, but they only know some fur, and they can't be compared with Gu experts like Gongsun Ying, and she didn't need Lao Zheng to make a move, she cleaned up the Xiao family alone.
When Tang Ning sent Chen Zhou to count the Xiao family's property, Gongsun Ying had already grabbed a young man's neck and asked in a loud voice, "Where is King Qian?" ”
The young man's face was blank and he said, "What is King Qian, I don't know ......"
Gongsun Ying tossed the subordinates captured from the Xiao family for a long time, and she didn't ask about the King of Qian, and she couldn't ask anything by her means, it seems that they really don't know.
Chen Zhou went and came back quickly, Tang Ning looked at him and said in surprise: "It's been counted so quickly?" ”
Chen Zhou said: "My lord, the Xiao family's property is not much, and the total amount of silver found is only more than 30,000 taels ......."
Tang Ning got up from the chair, the Xiao family, as the richest man in Quzhou, was not surprised that he found three million taels, thirty thousand taels, not even a fraction of his psychological expectations.
He looked at Chen Zhou and said, "Continue to search and see if there are any secret rooms and dark rooms in Xiao Mansion......"
Chen Zhou led people to continue the search, Tang Ning looked at one person and asked, "You Xiao Mansion, who is in charge on weekdays?" ”
The man's face was frightened, and he said in a trembling voice: "Yes, it's Steward Zhang......"
"Where's Steward Zhang's family?"
"I'm going to Zhufu."
……
In the Zhu Mansion, the heads of the Zhu, Huang, and Dong families looked at Tang Ning, and at the same time arched their hands and said, "I've seen Lord Tang." ”
Only more than 30,000 taels of silver were found from the Xiao family, and they were busy this time, which was not in line with his consistent style of making a move.
Tang Ning looked at the three of them and asked, "I heard that the Xiao family's business has been divided between the three of you?" ”
The head of the Huang family looked at him and immediately said: "The Xiao family intends to rebel, the crime is extremely heinous, the Xiao family's property will naturally belong to the treasury, my lord, rest assured, we will convert all their property into silver and send it to the post station ......."
Tang Ning nodded and said, "That's very good." ”
The head of the Huang family has obviously grown in the past two days, and it is useless for him to wish the family's industry and business, for Emperor Chen, the industry and business he talks about are not stimulated by the silver in vain.
The head of the Zhu family looked at him and arched his hand: "I don't know what is the important matter for Lord Tang to come here?" ”
Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "I heard that the Xiao family has a housekeeper with you?" ”
The head of the Zhu family was stunned when he heard this, then looked behind him and said, "Bring him up." ”
When the housekeeper of the Xiao Mansion was brought up by the two housekeepers, even Tang Ning was startled.
He was purple, covered with bloody holes, and had a three-inch-long centipede hanging from his hair, slumped on the ground, motionless.
Tang Ning looked at the head of the Zhu family and asked, "Dead?" ”
"Don't worry, my lord, those poisonous insects have removed their fangs, and they can't die." The head of the Zhu family looked at a subordinate behind him and said, "Wake him up!" ”
The man poured a scoop of cold water on Steward Zhang's face, and after being stirred by the cold water, Steward Zhang finally woke up leisurely.
He shuddered and immediately hissed, "Don't come here, don't bite me......"
The people of the Zhu family splashed a scoop of cold water again, and Steward Zhang was stunned in place, obviously not coming back to his senses.
The head of the Zhu family looked at him and said, "Lord Tang asks you a few words, and you have to answer truthfully." ”
Steward Zhang looked over blankly.
Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "Where is the Xiao family's silver hidden?" ”
Steward Zhang was stunned and said, "No, there is no hiding." ”
As the richest family in Quzhou, how could the Xiao family only have 30,000 taels of silver, Tang Ning looked at the head of the Zhu family and said, "Why don't you help me ask?" ”
Steward Zhang looked at the head of the Zhu family, his body couldn't help but tremble, his voice was crying, and he said in a trembling voice: "There is really no, all the silver earned by the Xiao Mansion has been transported to Runzhou, and there is really no ...... here."
Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "King Qian is in Runzhou?" ”
Steward Zhang looked up at him, a trace of surprise appeared on his face, and the next moment he spoke: "I, I don't know what the King of Qian......"
Tang Ning looked at the head of the Zhu family again and said, "Or ......"
Steward Zhang's body trembled, and he immediately said: "Yes, the king of Qian and the prince are in Runzhou, and the worshippers are also in Runzhou......"
Tang Ning asked again, "Do you know Bai Jin?" ”
"Bai was only active in Jingshi before, and he only came to Jiangnan a few days ago......"
"Where's Su Mei?"
"Miss Su is Bai Xian's apprentice, her appearance is unparalleled, many people like her, even Shizi is no exception......"
……
I don't know how much inhuman torture this Steward Zhang has experienced just now, Tang Ning asked, he replied twice, poured beans into a bamboo tube, and said everything.
What he said was not much different from what Tang Ning guessed, but it just confirmed his conjecture and made a certain clue clearer.
He looked at Steward Zhang and finally asked, "What is King Qian's plan?" ”
Steward Zhang said: "No, King Qian has no plan. ”
Tang Ning looked to the side and said, "I wish the head of the family ......"
Steward Zhang broke down and cried: "King Qian really has no plan, King Qian is dead, how can a dead person have a plan!" ”
Tang Ning was stunned, a little incredulous, and asked, "King Qian is dead?" ”
Steward Zhang looked at him and said, "A few months ago, His Royal Highness King Qian died of illness in Runzhou, what I said was the truth, you believe me, you believe me......"
……
Tang Ning didn't doubt the truth of Steward Zhang's words, because Bai Jin was in too much of a hurry, as if someone had died in her family, and the fact was that there were really dead people in her family.
King Qian is the master of Bai Jin, and it is the most important part of her implementation of the restoration plan.
Now that King Qian is dead, even if she recovers the country, what can she do, she can't be the emperor herself, right?
Life is impermanent, the world is unpredictable, King Qian still does not have the life to be the emperor, think about it from another angle, Bai Jin's task failed, and Su Mei's kindness to her is over, from now on, one avenue goes on both sides, isn't it happy?
However, this is cheaper Gongsun Ying, Bai Jin and Gongsun Ying are their own masters, the purpose is to restore the country, now that Bai Jin's master is dead, Gongsun Ying and the King of Wu she is loyal to, aren't they lying down to win the biggest opponent?
As soon as Tang Ning returned to the post station, Gongsun Ying walked out of the room and said, "The Xiao family also has a housekeeper in the Zhu Mansion, and if you find him, you will definitely be able to get more information." ”
Tang Ning said: "I have already been to the Zhu family. ”
Gongsun Ying looked at him and asked, "You asked about the whereabouts of those silvers?" ”
Tang Ning said: "All the silver from the Xiao Mansion has been transported to King Qian, and it is normal that there is no one here." ”
Gongsun Ying thought for a while and said, "I'll ask again, maybe there's any missing news." ”
"Don't you just want to know where King Qian's is?" Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "No need to ask, King Qian is dead." ”
Gongsun Ying was stunned and said in disbelief: "Qian, King Qian is dead?" ”
"I died a few months ago." Tang Ning looked at her and said, "Bai Jin came to Jiangnan in a hurry just for this matter. ”
After Gongsun Ying came back to his senses, his complexion changed a few times, and the muscles on his face began to twitch.
Tang Ning glanced at her and said, "Just laugh if you want to laugh, the crow's feet are about to come out......"
"Hahahahaha......"
Lao Zheng was sharpening his knife in the courtyard, and was suddenly frightened by the woman's wild laughter outside, and split the whetstone under his hand in half......
