That night, when Li Yi was interrogating Wei Jiang, in the flower hall of a certain compound in the east of Jinling City, there were also four people talking about something.

"Big brother, have you seen Lord Wang?" These people are the people in charge of the four major families, and it is Lu Zheng, the head of the Lu family, who is speaking, a middle-aged man with a thin body, a long face, small eyes, and a tall man.

The one who is called the eldest brother is none other than Sun Xian, the head of the Sun family.

Sun Xian is of medium height, slightly chubby, and has a slight beard on his slightly fat face.

Hearing Lu Zheng's question, Sun Xian showed a hint of joy. "See, Lord Wang just arrived today!"

"What did Lord Wang say?" The person who spoke was named Zhang Xing, the head of the Zhang family, this Zhang Xing had a strong body, bulging muscles all over his body, he looked very strong, and he should also be a practitioner, tall man, burly body, fierce face, giving people a great sense of oppression.

Sun Xian stroked his beard and said with a slight smile: "Lord Wang said, no matter who comes, this Jinling City belongs to our four major families. ”

"Oh? That's what Lord Wang said? "This person's name is Wu Ning, he is the most intelligent person in the four major families, and it can be seen from his face that this person is thin and not tall, he looks polite, has a delicate appearance, and has an elegant temperament, and he can see at a glance that this is a scholar.

These four people are the people in charge of the four families, and they are also the people in charge of Jinling City, among the four people, Sun Xian is the head, which is equivalent to the county order of Jinling County; Lu Zheng is the second eldest, he is a person who can speak well, the intricate relationship in Jinling City is controlled by him, and this person has extraordinary means, in this Jinling City, as long as he mentions Second Brother Lu, he has to be respectful, not only because Lu Zheng is the head of the Lu family, but also because Lu Ningzheng can be a man, at least, in this Jinling place, the people are convinced by Second Brother Lu, so Lu Zheng is equivalent to a county in Jinling County, and his status is second only to Sun Xian.

And the third is Wu Ning, needless to say, this Wu Ning is the think tank of the four major families, a bit of a dog-headed military advisor, very similar to Wu Yong in the Water Margin, maybe it may also be in the same line, Wu Ning is equivalent to the master of Jinling County.

The fourth is Zhang Xing, this is a martial arts officer, although the strategy is insufficient, but he is a good thug, and all the catches in Jinling City are also his subordinates, which is equivalent to the county lieutenant of Jinling County.

In the past, the four major families did go their own way, dividing Jinling City into four parts, dividing and conquering. And when Sun Xian's generation took over, they automatically formed an invisible yamen, each advocating on the one hand, changing division and rule to cooperation, but others didn't know it.

And the Lord Wang in their mouth is Wang Xiong, who has just taken office and succeeded Zhao Zishan as the assassin of Runzhou, the reason why they went to meet Wang Xiong is also because they don't know Li Yi's origins, and they also faintly heard that when the court Shangshu Zuo Pu shot Fang Xuanling came to Runzhou, this had to make them vigilant. Zhao Zishan's death, Fang Xuanling's arrival, Li Yi's new appointment as county magistrate, and Wang Xiong's arrival in Runzhou, these successive events had to make them vigilant.

And because they knew that Wang Xiong was a member of the Taiyuan Wang family, and he also had a lot of dealings with the four major families, they went to ask for advice and knew it in their hearts.

Sun Xian trusted the strategy of his third brother Wu Ning very much, so he didn't hide anything. "Yes, that's what Lord Wang said."

Wu Ning frowned, and said with some solemnity: "Big brother, Lord Wang said that he didn't say what is the origin of this newly arrived Li Yi?" ”

As soon as Sun Xian saw Wu Ning's expression, he felt that things might not be so simple, and he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. "I asked like that, but Lord Wang said that I don't have to worry, I don't have to care about what is behind Li Yi, everything is left to him, as long as we suppress Li Yi."

Zhang Xing slapped the table. "Hey! Second brother, why do you care so much? Since Lord Wang has said so, then we can sit with confidence, isn't it just a hairy boy? I'll leave this matter to me, and promise to make him regret coming to Jinling City. ”

Lu Zheng stretched out his hand to stop Zhang Xing, who was about to get up, and said in a deep voice: "Fourth brother, don't be impulsive, listen to what the three places say first!" ”

When Zhang Xing heard this, he sat back stupidly.

Wu Ning crossed his hands, put them to his mouth, pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "This matter is definitely not so simple, you think about what Lord Wang said, he said let us rest assured, the forces behind Li Yi will be handed over to him, then that is to say, this Li Yi is definitely not an ordinary person, there is definitely a force behind him, and this force can compete with the five surnames and seven wangs, otherwise, this Lord Li Yi Wang can clean it up by himself, why bother looking for us, and I think that it is definitely not an accident that Lord Shangshu's right servant came to Runzhou!" ”

Lu Zheng's face was solemn. "What does the third brother mean, Lord Fang is here to support this Li Yi?"

"Yes and no! Master Fang's purpose of coming to Jiangnan is definitely not so simple, but since he has come to Runzhou, he must have the intention of supporting Li Yi. It can be seen from this that this Li Yi belongs to the royal family, and the three brothers all know the struggle between the family and the imperial court, so I think that this Li Yi and Lord Wang are likely to be chess pieces thrown by both sides. As the saying goes, when the gods fight, the little ghosts suffer. We must be cautious so as not to be affected by the pond fish. ”

Lu Zheng's expression was grim, he often mingled with the three sects and nine streams, he couldn't be too clear about these things, because he often played the role of a god, but he didn't expect to be a ghost this time.

"Third brother, do you think this Li Yi can beat Lord Wang?"

"Hehe, second brother, don't underestimate this Li Yi, don't forget, when he took office today, he brought more than 100 generals!" If Li Yi heard this, he would definitely be surprised, but he didn't expect that there were really a lot of people who paid attention to him, and it seemed that he really wanted to cover up the hundred generals scattered.

Sun Xian was slightly surprised, he went to Runzhou today, so he didn't know about it at all. "Oh? Is there such a thing? ”

"Yes, and this is only his superficial power, as for whether he has other hole cards, it is unknown. But he went to Wei Jiang's house today, and he must have known about our existence, but he didn't make any moves, and he must have been a person with a deep city. The most important thing is that you think that the person who can be entrusted with the important task by His Majesty today and let Fang Xuanling escort him will be a mediocre talent? ”

"Hiss~" The three of them gasped, they were all a little frightened, they didn't expect things to be so complicated, even Zhang Xing, who was arrogant just now, was a little wilted at the moment.

If Li Yi heard these words, he would definitely be shocked, this Wu Ning is really not a simple character, even he has been figuring out for a long time to figure it out, he came to Jinling this time, not only to develop Jinling, but also to represent Li Er, and fight with the family, this is not just a simple county order, otherwise Li Er would not be able to let him have a high degree of autonomy in Jinling County, and even Wang Xiong only has the right to supervise Jinling County. However, these intricate things were deduced by Wu Ning after just a few words, which is really powerful.

Sun Xian looked at Wu Ning and said in a deep voice, "Third brother, what do you think we should do about this?" ”

Wu Ning's eyes flashed, and he smiled slightly: "It's better to be still than to be still, now it's the two of them fighting, let's just watch the excitement, no one can be offended, we can't listen to all of Lord Wang's words, and we can't offend Li Yi; If he doesn't come to us, then we'll be the same as before, if he comes to us, then let's fight with him, try his skills, and let them see our skills, we can't let her underestimate us, but, no matter what, we can't go too far, we must always leave a way back for ourselves. In fact, this matter may be a good thing for us, since they chose the battlefield in Jinling, it means that the imperial court has given up the suppression of Jinling, and with the geographical location of Jinling, the rise is only in a few years, so whether we can seize this opportunity to let our four major families return to the top, or even go further, depends on how we play this game of chess! ”

The three of them were a little enthusiastic when Wu Ning said this, perhaps, this time is really an opportunity.
