After a few days of blowing, today is the day of the funeral of Fan Yongdou, the boss of the eight major merchant families, not only the major merchant families, but also many officials of Taiyuan Mansion came to attend the funeral of this Shanxi tycoon. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info in order to prevent any accidents from colliding with the body of the old lady of the Fan family, I don't know which official of Taiyuan Mansion spoke, and now not only the Fan family compound, but also the road to prepare for the funeral is full of soldiers.

It's just that behind such fanfare is indeed an unavoidable embarrassment, after all, when a person dies, someone will always ask how he died, but Fan Yongdou's death is not a glorious thing, every day sheng song, died on the belly of a woman, saying that the good thing is romantic, and the bad thing is to find death for the old and disrespecting himself, in order to avoid everyone's embarrassment, this topic is rarely mentioned, but those civilians in Taiyuan Mansion are still talking about it in private.

It's just that few people find that there seem to be too many soldiers in the entire Taiyuan Mansion, and gradually the streets and gates of the entire Taiyuan Mansion are guarded by soldiers, but these are different from the soldiers who maintained the order before, the soldiers were all wearing military uniforms and holding spears, which are just the soldiers who patrol the city that people usually usually have.

At this time, a luxurious team came from outside the city, and drove all the way to the Fan family compound after passing through the city gate, starting with a four-wheeled carriage guarded by a large number of brocade guards wearing flying fish suits, on both sides of the carriage were a large number of attendants dressed as eunuchs, and the rear of the vehicle was followed by a thousand-person scale armor elite foot soldiers, seeing this battle, everyone knew that something big was going to happen, and the team passed by, and the civilians on both sides closed the windows and locked the doors, and one by one they hid behind the door and secretly observed this strange team.

There are also a lot of good deeds who are not afraid of death, secretly following behind the team, as long as they are not blind, seeing these armor and weapons, no one believes that this group of people is coming into the city to play, looking at this murderous appearance, it is obviously not good, it is to find someone to be unlucky, it seems that someone is going to be unlucky.

For such an important city as Taiyuan Mansion, the eight major merchant families of the Jin Merchants have been stationed in an important stronghold for a long time, and now because of the funeral of Fan Yongdou, the boss of the Jin Merchants, gathered in Taiyuan Mansion, for a time, the various strongholds of Taiyuan Mansion are overcrowded, and the eight major merchant families have been operating in Shanxi for many years, although the intelligence ability does not dare to compare with Jinyiwei, but that should not be underestimated.

"The master is not good" When the heads of the family were discussing how to divide the benefits left behind after the death of the boss of the Fan family, a housekeeper of the Chang family ran in a hurry.

"What kind of system is panicking, what do you have to say" The flustered appearance of his housekeeper made the head of the Chang family feel that he was very embarrassed in front of this group of old foxes, and if it was not good, it would affect the division of interests for a while, if it weren't for the fact that the old housekeeper had served him for most of his life, he would have let people drag him out and beat him to death.

"Master, this ....." Seeing so many people here, I don't know what the master thinks. The housekeeper didn't dare to say the news he had gotten.

"It's not an outsider here, what do you have to say" I don't have those embarrassing things about the Fan family at home, what can't I say.

"Yes, my lord, just now the people in the house, passing by the city gate, saw a group of brocade guards and a large group of officers and soldiers going straight to the Fan Mansion, so they immediately took the road back to report, but on the way back, the next man also found that many officers and soldiers began to set up cards at various intersections, if he didn't copy the road and run fast, it is estimated that he was also left behind by the group of soldiers and could not come back" After receiving the order of his master, the housekeeper of the Chang family no longer hesitated, he is now a grasshopper tied to a rope with the Chang family, it is a glory, if he dies, No one can run away, so let's say it early and let the old men have an idea.

After several heads of families learned of the abnormality of Taiyuan Mansion, they glanced at each other, and understood that they and others were exposed, otherwise they would not have received the news from such a big action of officers and soldiers, although a few people were not afraid, since they colluded with the Houjin gang, the major merchant families began to raise dead soldiers in captivity, so that one day after the incident, they could protect themselves and others before the imperial court reflected and killed Shanxi and went to the Jurchens on the grassland.

Taiyuan Mansion is the most important stronghold of the major families, and the main figures of each family are mostly gathered in Taiyuan Mansion, otherwise the place where the birds do not on the border, you can't see the people at a glance, and no matter how much money you have, there is no place to spend it. For the safety of the important people, the stronghold of the family in Taiyuan Mansion did not have a single three or five hundred armored soldiers, dozens of war horses, and several families working together were enough to gather two or three thousand armored dead soldiers, as well as hundreds of cavalry.

As for the thousands of dissatisfied soldiers in Taiyuan Mansion, they can't even match the weapons, how can they stop the dead soldiers of several families. Even the whole of Shanxi did not have the army that could leave their own people, and when the imperial court reflected that the army was pressing, he and others had already left the Ming Dynasty along the road left when they were doing business, and what could the little emperor of Chongzhen do when the time came.

"Now it seems that we are talking about the little benefits left behind by Old Man Fan after his death, not only that, I am afraid that everyone will have to give up everything they have in Daming, or call up people to escort us and wait for a comprehensive retreat according to the predetermined plan" It was the old man of the Chang family who spoke. Those who can do this position and collude with the Jurchens for many years without being discovered, none of them are fools, they nodded in agreement, and asked people to send signals to gather people.

"The late one changes, this matter is sooner rather than later, now immediately summon the dead soldiers of the Fan family to escort me and leave this place of right and wrong first" The head of the Qiao family also spoke, for their own safety, this group of old guys saw more important than anything else, and immediately echoed and asked to leave immediately.

After a burst of chickens and dogs jumped in the Fan Mansion, a large number of dead soldiers with armor and knives began to gather in the compound, and a large number of servants brought war horses. The heads of the families and some important figures of the Fan family got on their horses one after another, and under the escort of a group of dead soldiers on horseback, they began to retreat towards the gate with the five hundred dead soldiers of the Fan family.

At this time, the dead soldiers of the Fan family had already clashed with the officers and soldiers guarding the vicinity. Under the disadvantage of numbers, the original Taiyuan Mansion soldiers near Fan Mansion were not opponents at all, and they were repelled by a group of dead soldiers in a desperate way of fighting in less than a quarter of an hour.

Just when the lords of the family were about to leave the Fan family's compound on a tall horse, there was a dense sound of footsteps on the street in the distance, and a large number of brocade guards and armored guards guarded a carriage, rushed to the front of the Fan Mansion and confronted the dead soldiers of the Fan family, and a eunuch's unique spy voice came out, "Our family is here for you, how can a few of you go, have you asked our family's opinion?" ”
