The docks changed overnight, and Henry's death did not cause any commotion. His henchmen were all cleared by the Secret Guard, and Gore's men took their place as soon as possible.

The turmoil on Xiangjiang Island occurred only overnight, and Gore had completely replaced Henry and took control of all his estates before dawn.

Adou and the dark guard did not leave just now, but continued to stay by Gore's side, in addition to monitoring Gore, they also guarded all the big smoke here by the way, and no longer sold to Daming.

The news of the Xiangjiang Island incident soon spread quietly to Fucheng, and all forces were surprised. Especially the forces that were ready to fight the imperial court to the end, represented by Ouyang Xiu, several forces gathered together again to discuss how to deal with it.

Ouyang Xiu was very angry, slapped the table and said viciously, "Can anyone tell me what happened on Xiangjiang Island." Why, overnight, no more big smoke was delivered? Could it really be that something happened to General Henry, just like the rumors outside? ”

The heads of the houses were silent, and they didn't know what was going on. I only know that I received a report from my subordinates early in the morning, saying that the morning cigarettes were no longer delivered. If only one or two did not receive the goods, then it can be said that there was an accident, which is within the normal category.

But now when everyone meets, they find that everyone has not received the goods at the moment. In other words, something must have happened to Xiangjiang Island at this moment, something must have happened on Henry's side?

No one responded to Ouyang Xiu, only Qi Hai stood up and said, "Brother Ouyang, now that there is a lot of rumors outside, why don't we immediately send someone to find out?" ”

Ouyang Xiu hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded helplessly in agreement. After all, only by getting to the bottom of the matter can they make the best budget.

However, the government of Fucheng did not give them the time to figure out the truth of the matter. As soon as Ouyang Xiu's words were finished, there was a sudden commotion outside. Immediately afterwards, a large number of officers and soldiers rushed into the hall and surrounded the heads of the families who were in a state of astonishment.

The commotion outside quickly subsided, and Yan Zhenghai and Hong Chengchou strode into the hall under the escort of Lin Kexi, the leader of the Fucheng Secret Guard Camp.

Hong Chengchou was a stranger to the heads of the families present, but Yan Zhenghai knew all the heads of the houses present. The head of the family present usually dealt with Yan Zhenghai, but when he saw that it was Yan Zhenghai who came, Ouyang Xiu pulled down an old face.

"Governor Yan, what do you mean?" Ouyang Xiu asked in a deep voice.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please move to the government office to talk." Yan Zhenghai didn't pay attention to Ouyang Xiu at all, and said in a deep voice to the people present.

didn't give any face, Ouyang Xiu suddenly couldn't get off the stage, at this time, he gave Qi Hai a look and asked him to stand up and take the lead in accusing Yan Zhenghai. But Qi Hai is obviously not stupid, the situation in front of him is that the official family has the advantage, if he stands up and holds himself accountable at this time, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat.

Qi Hai chose to ignore Ouyang Xiu's gestures, he no longer made eye contact with Ouyang Xiu, and pretended not to know that Ouyang Xiu was making eye contact with him.

This made Ouyang Xiu even more angry, and he already hated Qi Hai in his heart, and he made up his mind that he must settle accounts with Qi Hai afterwards.

Ouyang Xiu didn't dare to come forward again, and others naturally wouldn't directly conflict with the official family. The last few people were escorted by a large number of officers and soldiers into a closed carriage and sent directly to the government office.

The desolate courtyard soon regained its calm, and after the officers and soldiers had retreated, Li Yi and Xiao Bin appeared together.

"No one is left behind, all of them will be taken away, big brother, it's time for us to do it." Li Yiyin laughed.

"Brother Li, the Ouyang family and the Zhao family have to deal with it yourself. You know, we're three big families, so it's not the right thing for me to do. As for the others, it will be taken care of by the elder brother, and Brother Li doesn't have to worry about it at all. Xiao Bin replied with a smile.

"Big brother, please rest assured, three thousand men and horses have already been ambushed near the Ouyang family and the Zhao family. If nothing else, the matter can be finished before dark, and then you and I will have the final say in this city. The eldest brother has to bear a little more, after all, the younger brother's family has always been at sea, and when it comes to land, there must be a lot of things that he doesn't understand. Li Yi smiled happily.

Xiao Bin stretched out his hand and patted Li Yi's shoulder: "You and I complement each other, don't worry about that, it's important when the things in front of you are done." ”

Li Yi didn't say anything more, nodded, bowed and retreated.

The old servant standing solemnly behind Xiao Bin suddenly said, "Patriarch, now that we are fully capable of controlling the power of the entire Fucheng with the strength of our family, why should we give up half of it to that Li Yi?" ”

Xiao Bin turned his head to look at the old servant with a serious face, and said with a smile: "In the future, we will not only help Li Yi grow stronger, but also support him to become the number one force in Fucheng." It is not a wise choice for one family to be dominant, what we want is profit, and everything else is false. ”

The old servant's face was still confused, but he didn't ask any further. As long as the patriarch understood what he meant, as for what to choose, it was not for him to worry about.

Xiao Bin finally glanced at the courtyard that was still very lively just now, and then ordered the old servant beside him in a deep voice: "It's not too early, Li Yi should start acting." We should also go back and prepare to cut off the power of the other families. ”

The old servant silently bowed his hand, and then turned away silently. Xiao Bin strode out of the courtyard, and outside the gate, in the quiet street, a carriage was already waiting. Chaubin got into the carriage alone, and the groom immediately whipped the horse away.

The mansion was very lively, and in the bright hall, several heads of the family walked around with impatient faces. It had been almost three hours since they were taken to the palace, but Yan Zhenghai and Hong Chengchou had never appeared. The long wait was uneasy for everyone present.

Ouyang Xiu began to get irritable even more, he rushed to the door again, raised his feet and wanted to go out, but was blocked by two sabers. A black-faced guard said coldly, "No one is allowed to leave here without the prefect's order." ”

This is not the first time that he has been stopped, Ouyang Xiu's face is full of anger but there is nowhere to vent. wanted to rush out, but understood that it was impossible, and the cold face of the guard in front of him was very likely to swing the knife at his body when he was impulsive.

In desperation, Ouyang Xiu had no choice but to return to the house and sulk himself.

And in the courtyard next to this hall, Yan Zhenghai and Hong Chengchou were leisurely drinking wine! Looking at the leisurely performance of the two of them, it is very likely that they have forgotten about the anxious family owners.
