The Ding family's power in Lu County is very strong, and Ding Yuan is backed by it, as if he is the leader of the family alliance in Lu County and even in the south of Youzhou, so the Ding family dare not obey the call, so everyone who received the invitation rushed to the party overnight.

Ding Jiaming Hall, Ding Qiang, the head of the Ding family, is having a large banquet to entertain the invited families and businessmen and gentry from the neighborhood and the county.

Ding Li went to the hall, first saw his own master, and then waved his hand to let the singer and dancer retreat, and the music stopped for a while, Mingtang became solemn and quiet, and all the guests stopped their chopsticks and looked at Ding Li who was standing in the middle of Mingtang.

Ding Li first greeted everyone who responded to the appointment, and after explaining the etiquette and politeness, he coughed and said the purpose of inviting you: "I think you all know that Lu Peng's deliberate actions have seized Lu County, and in this way, Lu County has become Lu Peng's private forbidden area, and Lu Peng, who boasts of being a hermit, is actually from a common people, just a cloth cloth, relying on barbaric beatings and killings to seize a high position, doesn't this make us lose face? . ”

For this, everyone here agrees, and they are also indignant in their hearts.

"And who is Lu Peng? At the beginning of his tenure, because of his greed for the Zhao family's property in Youzhou, he fabricated charges to destroy the Zhao family, and even showed off his might to the wealthy families in Youzhou afterwards. ”

Ding Li's words are very demagogic, but they really talk about what everyone is worried about, as soon as Lu Peng was born, it made people deeply feel his hostility to the wealthy family, from the Youzhou law field, it can be seen that the care of the lowly people, the wealthy and the small people, born on two impossible to urinate into a pot of conflicting interests, Lu Peng really controlled Lu County, it is definitely not the blessing of the wealthy family, dealing with Lu Peng, of course, is what everyone wants to do from the heart.

"This time, we must take advantage of Lu Peng's unstable foothold and unite to deal with Lu Peng, otherwise, our wealthy families in Luxian and even Youzhou will die and have no place to be buried."

There is a great risk for his family to deal with Lu Peng, who is full of soldiers, and it is a big risk to pull the wealthy families in the county to attack together, this is Ding Li's purpose and means.

As soon as Ding Li's words came out, those who originally scolded or gritted their teeth at Lu Peng were all silenced for a while.

It's okay for everyone to scold, and it's okay for non-violence and non-cooperation, but if you really want to fight with Lu Peng openly, everyone is still unwilling, as the so-called thing is not coming, who knows the future? This time, your family offended Lu Peng first, and you want to rob the wife that others have worked so hard to grab, what are we doing? It's still up to everyone, and it's best to hang high.

So a wealthy family owner who was already drunk said loudly: "Lu Peng is indeed hateful, but he is targeting your Ding family, what do you have to do with us." ”

Although the others don't have the courage to face the Ding family's questioning, they also think the same thing in their hearts, that is, this time Lu Peng directly took down your precious son first, and then took down your salt farm, everything is aimed at you, what does this have to do with us? You are chirping crookedly here, you don't want us to work for you and drive Lu Peng away, it is not your Ding family who benefits, what benefits can we all get? Who does the bad thing? Do you think we're all stupid?

It seemed to see everyone's thoughts, Ding Li said: "Lu Peng's attitude towards the family is obvious to everyone, and his greed is also obvious to all, now that he has dealt with our Ding family, the next step must be all of you here, as the so-called cold lips and teeth, if we don't huddle together to keep warm, then we will be broken by Lu Peng, and then everyone will die without a place to bury." ”

At this time, a clan close to the Ding family stood up and said gently: "What Ding Xian's nephew said has some truth, but everything is risky, especially now that Lu Peng is still an official army, we will deal with him, it will never be possible to use gentle means, and using the arms of various families will be tantamount to rebellion, what good is it for us to take such a big risk?" Then he looked at the patriarch who was high above.

The patriarch Ding Qiang stood up and announced loudly: "I have handed over this matter to my nephew Ding Li, and everyone will ask him for his advice on the arrangement." ”

So, everyone's eyes turned to Ding Li.

After being confirmed by the patriarch, Ding Li said confidently: "Of course, we can't be blatant when the families are armed to deal with Lu Peng, but we can hide from the world, and now that the remnants of the Yellow Turban are raging, we can completely confuse the eyes." As for the benefits after everyone sent troops to drive away Lu Peng, of course there is. ”

Looking around, Ding Li said: "Lu County has been calculated by Lu Peng several times, and the original officials have been emptied, as long as we take Lu Peng and recapture the Lu County Mansion, then the vacant Yamen officials will be divided equally." ”

As soon as this proposal came out, everyone exchanged ears for a while, this temptation is very great, as long as their family participates in the distribution of officials in the government, it is equivalent to getting a large part of the rights in this county, which is indeed beneficial to the development of their own family, but this does not seem to be enough, so everyone is silent, waiting for the next condition.

Ding Li had no choice but to look at the patriarch again and take out his last bargaining chip.

Ding Qiang was indeed forced by Lu Peng this time, and in order to eliminate Lu Peng, he was also ruthless, so he nodded to Ding Li again.

With the permission of the head of the family, Ding Li announced loudly: "If everyone cooperates to join the Lu Dumping Action, my family will release 30% of the output of the salt field and share it with everyone here." ”

This is a big deal, everyone here is jealous of the interests of the salt farm controlled by the Ding family, although this time it is only released thirty percent, but it is definitely a huge temptation, so they are all tempted.

An old patriarch of the Zhou family, who was dignified, stood up again and said to Ding Li: "The share of salt in the third percent is indeed a lot, but how to distribute the three percent, but the virtuous nephew must make it clear, as the so-called villain first and then gentleman." ”

Ding Li said confidently: "The position in the county government and the salt profit of 30% this time, I am going to divide it according to 100 shares, and then calculate each share according to the number of 100 people. ”

This method is very good, and it is also very fair, the most important thing is that one hundred shares can gather 10,000 armed families, if you add 5,000 armed forces of the Ding family, the total number of men and horses can reach 15,000 people, with so many people and horses, to deal with the newcomer Lu Peng's 4,000 Lu family army, everyone thinks that this transaction is a sure deal.

Since it is a profitable deal, of course, you have to join with all your might, and immediately report the number of people and horses that your family can dispatch, so a storm against Lu Peng slowly kicked off.
