"First, not long after the Tian family expelled him, he was angry, and it was very likely that he would take revenge on the spur of the moment; Second, he can get such confidential information from the Tian family, and he can have some strength to blow up the fleet, and he has to receive information from the fleet in a timely manner, there are really few who meet these three requirements, but he can do it. You must know that his status in the Tian family back then was not low; Three, I thought about it for a long time before I figured it out: At that time, the three of us went to transport grain, naturally we didn't want to be pinched by you on the grain, and if something happened to the fleet, you would be the most suspicious. If someone sinks the fleet, then the three of us will definitely be angry and want to settle accounts with you, and when the time comes, if we fight, three against one, will definitely be able to achieve his goal of revenge on your royal family. ”

Wang Shihua was shocked! What comes to mind is not the possibility that Li Honghui said, but the words that Aunt He kept reminding: The four major families can continue for hundreds of years, and they have their own advantages. And Li Honghui's words should not be analyzed by himself, but he has the guidance of the family masters behind him, and this is the embodiment of the family heritage!

After thinking about it, Wang Shihua asked the question he was most concerned about: "Then do you have any suggestions?" ”

"Shihua, don't worry!" Li Honghui looked at the maids who were already waiting for the food not far away, and said with a smile: "You can't let us chat hungry, right?" ”

took the initiative to bring down a fruit plate in front of him, beckoned to the maids, and said, "Hurry up and bring all the wine and food!" ”

Tian Jiafu on the side also joked while carrying the fruit plate in front of him to the small stool: "For most of the past half a year, I have watched the Wang family's meals be chickens and ducks every day, but my Tian family is gnawing on the bark, which is really greedy!" ”

Wang Shihua glared at him angrily, and said, "Jiafu, one yard is one yard, now we are talking about the attack on the fleet...... If you want to talk about food, I'll talk to you separately later. ”

Tian Jiafu saw that the other two pretended not to hear, and only cared about helping to set the dishes, and did not answer, so he knew that what he had just said was not the right time - when they were united with the outside world, it was better not to talk about internal fighting, so as not to destroy unity.

nodded slightly to Wang Shihua and smiled faintly, admitting that what he just said was wrong.

After waiting for the wine and food to be served, Wang Shihua waved his hand to let the maids go down, and after personally picking up the wine jug and pouring a glass for everyone, he picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "No matter what, the three of you can be invited to come is to give me Wang Shihua face." Come! A toast to all of you. ”

After drinking three glasses of wine with the name, the fourth glass was full, and everyone stopped tacitly and continued to talk about the topic just now.

"Hong Hui, you just analyzed so much, what do you want to talk about?"

"I don't know what you think, anyway, when I came, the people in the family asked me to make a statement to you: No matter what Tian Haozi is, but he has gone too far, and he doesn't take our four major families into account at all, so the family has decided that they must settle accounts with Tian Haozi, and ask me how the Li family offended him and let him sink my Li family's fleet so hard?"

"Thank you!"

"This is a common thing for everyone, and there is no need to thank each other!" Li Honghui said with a straight face: "No matter how infighting the four major families are, they must be consistent externally, otherwise, the four major families will already be broken by each other." ”

With that, the two got up and touched a cup, which was considered an agreement.

"That's right, we all understand the truth of cold lips and teeth." As he spoke, Xiang Dingtian stood up and raised his glass to Wang Shihua, and said, "That's what I mean to my family." ”

After touching a glass with Wang Shihua and Li Honghui, none of the three of them drank or sat down, but held a wine glass and looked at Tian Jiafu, after all, Tian Hezi was originally a member of the Tian family, and if the four major families want to clean him up, the Tian family must be the object of key 'care', otherwise, the Tian family is secretly bad, and it is very likely that the matter against Tian Hezi will become anticlimactic - as long as the Tian family reports to Tian Hezi and lets him leave early, the world is so big, where do you go to find him?

"What do you think of me? I've told you everything, he's not from my Tian family anymore, and it's my Tian family's business to live or die? Saying that, Tian Jiafu also stood up with a wine glass, and said with a smile while clinking glasses with the three of them: "To tell you the truth, when I came, although the family didn't tell me so, but depending on the meaning of the three of you, he was angry with the public, even if I wanted to help him, there was no reason to bring the whole Tian family into it for him." I'm putting my words here, and if I want to really deal with him, I'm willing to take the lead myself. ”

He is willing to take the lead, although he knows that it is impossible, and the family will never let the future head of the family be the pioneer, but his words show his firm attitude.

"Interesting. Done! ”

Wang Shihua said boldly, but in his heart he was even more curious about why the three of them were so active, especially Tian Jiafu, who knew that leaving Tian Hezi to oppose the Wang family would greatly help hinder the Wang family, but he still expressed his position. In other words, the benefits of Tian Hezi's life must be greatly less than the benefits obtained after killing him, otherwise, how could the Tian family be like this? was gently forced to stand in line. But the question is, what exactly is the big interest?

"It's done!"

After the four of them drank it all at the same time, they lit up the mouth of the wine glass to everyone.

After the three of them sat down, Wang Shihua said with a smile while pouring wine for them: "Although we all want to clean up the fields, we have to pay off the real price you pay me, otherwise, I will always play the drum in my heart." ”

"Shihua, I know what you want to ask. However, this is not a big problem, and you will understand it when you look back and calm down and think about it for a while. ”

"Jiafu, you don't pretend to be profound for me, and if you have something to say, be happy. Otherwise, when the time comes, cooperate with each other, in case something happens, don't blame me for not asking. After speaking, he muttered angrily: "I'm busy all day and night without touching the ground, how can I have time to think about problems." ”

The three of them smiled and looked at me, I looked at you, and in the end, Li Honghui replied with a smile: "Shihua, have you forgotten that the mastermind behind our successive defeats in Wuhan has always wanted to take revenge and has no direction." ”

Wang Shihua was taken aback and asked, "Do you mean that Tian Haozi colluded with that black hand?" ”

Li Honghui smiled a little mysteriously, and said: "I don't dare to say 100 percent, but as long as there is such a possibility, we must investigate to the end, otherwise, our four major families will not be made of mud - you can pinch it as much as you want?" ”

Wang Shihua was relieved: Think about it, at the beginning, the first batch of millions of catties of grain jointly purchased by the three companies was troubled one after another on the way back, and finally came back with anger, and it was about to enter Xiangxi, but it was bombarded to the bottom of the river by several shells. Although I didn't understand it at the time, the attack on the Wang family's fleet this time was exactly the same as that time, and the three major families immediately reacted and hurriedly came to Wang Shihua to discuss how to deal with it...... The reason why the Tian family wanted to turn against Tian Haozi was actually because they sent a messenger to inquire about it, but as a result, Tian Haozi flatly denied it, which completely angered the Tian family: Your people have been arrested, and you are still fighting with Lao Tzu haha. Isn't it the same as a rebellion if you are so uneasy about your clansmen - for traitors, the four major families have only one way to deal with them: kill them all!

Of course, the unspoken agreement is: Tian Hezi must be caught alive, so as to track down the mastermind behind the scenes. And this is the fundamental reason why everyone is so active in participating, otherwise, how could a bandit of several hundred people be looked at by the four major families and be so active in exterminating him.

"I wonder how many troops you plan to send? Who will lead the team this time? ”

"My family is willing to send 500 elite soldiers, I don't care who leads the team."

As soon as Li Honghui finished speaking, Xiang Dingtian also nodded and said: "I am the same as Hong Hui, after all, one of the two of you is Tian Hezi's sworn enemy, and the other is Tian Hezi's original family, and they both listen to you both." We just want to know who is the black hand that plays with our four families to applaud? ”

"Shihua, in order to avoid suspicion, let me lead the team, right?" The meaning of this is that if the Tian family does not exterminate the Tian hemp, there will be a suspicion of releasing water.

"Forget it, Jiafu, it's interesting enough for you to say this, I won't embarrass you, lest you face Tian Hezi's plea when you have time, and you will be difficult to be a man."

Tian Jiafu opened his mouth, but he didn't say a word, nodded slightly to Wang Shihua, and hugged his fists in gratitude.

"This time, I will provide all the food and drink, and the spoils will be ......divided equally between the four of us," Seeing that several people nodded approvingly, Wang Shihua was not polite: "However, the ugly words are in front, if anyone does not respect the order, or deliberately releases water, when the time comes, don't blame me for being fast." Especially if you dare to let go of Tian Hezi, I will destroy his whole family, and no one can intercede for him, and you must promise me this. ”

"It's nature. Otherwise, we'll have a fart! ”

"Well, each family will send 400 elite soldiers, plus 100 cavalry, so that it is easy to pursue. My royal family sent out 200 cavalry, 800 elite soldiers, and artillery ......"

Originally, the three families wanted to oppose the dispatch of a hundred cavalry, but when they heard the conditions of the Wang family, they could only shut up...... I don't know what Wang Shihua thinks, in this place with many mountains and forests, he actually values cavalry. To put it mildly, this is completely a reflection of Wang Shihua's personal preferences. You must know that the Wang family itself can now gather 600 cavalry at any time, which is about the same as the number of the other three families combined.

"Each family will send ten good spies to me within two days, especially those who are familiar with Hefeng County, Hubei, so that I can uniformly deploy the intelligence collection of Tian Hemp."

All three nodded at the same time.

"Also, if Tian Hezi or his person is caught, no one can be interrogated alone, and if they want to be interrogated, someone from the four families must be present, otherwise, don't tell the news, if they kill someone, won't it make everyone fall short? Therefore, if anyone dares to interrogate alone, it is an internal ghost, and everyone will fight it together! ”

When Wang Shihua said this, he naturally had ideas, and for the other three, he wished it would be like this, so he naturally nodded in agreement.

"The last one, today's conversation, after going back, except for the heads of each family, you must not reveal the slightest thing to the third person, lest the news leak and let Tian Hezi run away, when the time comes, don't blame me for hitting the water village, but I didn't catch anyone." Speaking of this, Wang Shihua suddenly smiled evilly and said softly: "Of course, if you want to take the opportunity to eradicate the spies in your own house, it depends on your own ability." ”

After speaking, he also deliberately glanced at Tian Jiafu.

Tian Jiafu's face sank, he looked at Wang Shihua, then looked at the eyes of the other two, and nodded firmly.

Wang Shihua stretched his right hand forward, and said with a straight face: "I, Wang Shihua, swear in the name of the ancestors of the Wang family, if this action, if I violate the agreement just now, I will pierce ten thousand arrows through my heart, and there will be no place to bury my death!" ”

The other three also swore by their ancestors - in this era, if they dare to swear by their ancestors, they will be extremely strict. Instead of taking oaths as a meal, as people do now.

An agreement was reached, and the atmosphere relaxed all at once.

At this moment, I saw the second dog walking over quickly, with a strange face......
