Chapter 354: The Wind Rises (Part II)
"That's right! Our family has lived in Laizhou for hundreds of years, and those family properties were also saved by our ancestors bit by bit, so why should we share them with those mud legs? Will their own ancestors divide our heaven and earth if they don't fight? How can there be such a truth in this world? As soon as Patriarch Zhao's words fell, a small patriarch at the head of the group scolded with indignation on his face
Patriarch Zhao was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly continued, "What the head of the Wang family said is extremely true, our family business is passed down from our ancestors, and as a descendant, we must be optimistic about this family business for them." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoNo matter how difficult it is, you can't just back down. Otherwise, even if you die, you will have no face to face the ancestors and ancestors under the Nine Springs! Besides, although Liu Fan is very strong, he is not without weaknesses, at least he is still afraid of face now, and he doesn't want to tear his face with the court. So we're safe now! As long as we find a way to catch his sore feet, there is still a lot to be done! ā
The eyes of the Xu family master lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Old Patriarch Zhao, does he have any good strategy to retreat from the enemy?" Don't hide it when you're old, say it quickly! ā
Patriarch Zhao stroked his beard and smiled, "Since everyone has stayed and not left now, it means that we all have the same thoughts in our hearts, and we are not willing to give away our good family business in vain." We all have the same goal, we are all our own families, so the old man will open the skylight and speak brightly. In recent days, Lao Yu has been thinking about how to deal with Liu Fan and deal with the Broken Army, and after thinking hard for a month, he finally came up with a few ideas. Now I will throw bricks and stones for everyone's reference! ā
The head of the Xu family said speechlessly, "Don't talk nonsense when you are old, say it quickly!" ā
Patriarch Zhao glared at the head of the Xu family with dissatisfaction and said, "Ying Yuan, you are still old and still can't change this impatient problem, can't you wait for the old man to finish speaking?" Don't you know what Liu Fan's strength is, is he so easy to deal with? ā
Seeing this, the head of the Xu family hurriedly confessed: "Okay, good! You say, you say, Ying Yuan listens! ā
Patriarch Zhao nodded with satisfaction and said, "The big guys all know what that peasant association formed by those mud legs recently is!" To put it bluntly, it's a gun that Liu Fan's guy used to deal with us! Since Liu Fan can use it against us, why don't we do the opposite and use this gun against Liu Fan? ā
Before Patriarch Zhao's words were finished, someone asked rhetorically, "What is the way to deal with it?" Those mud-legged people have a deep hatred for us! Otherwise, you wouldn't have risked your life to fight with us! ā
Patriarch Zhao smiled and said, "This is actually very simple, isn't that Liu Fan always known as the savior of the poor?" Then we'll use that against him! Recently, the prefect of Qian Yuan Qian has sent Zhang Zhao to bring people to quell the chaos, as long as we secretly inform Zhang Zhao to let him catch a mud leg as a hostage, and then walk the news that as long as Liu Fan dares to set foot in Laizhou, we will take those mud legs to open the knife! ā
Xu Yingyuan was overjoyed and said, "Okay, this is a good idea, as long as we hold these mud legs, Liu Fan's guy will definitely throw a rat bogey!" Ha ha... It's still the old patriarch who is smart! ā
When everyone heard this, they also had a burst of enlightenment in their hearts, and some people even suggested, "Old Patriarch Zhao, in that case, why don't we just do everything and catch all those mud legs, so that not only will no one dare to go against us, but also use this to threaten Liu Fan that he will not dare to comply?" ā
Patriarch Zhao's eyes widened, and he scolded angrily, "Confused! Do you think Liu Fan is really a soft-hearted person? The lesson of Jiaozhou has not made you sober yet? The old man's plan is just to stall for time, if we pin all our hopes on these lowly mud legs, will we still be able to survive? ā
"Yes, yes, what Old Patriarch Zhao said is that he is confused! Old Patriarch Zhao, go on, we all listen to you! ā
Patriarch Zhao waved his hand helplessly and said, "Okay, don't blame those who don't know, I'll forgive you this time!" After finishing speaking, Patriarch Zhao looked around at everyone: "To deal with this Liu Fan, it is not enough to just delay!" Although this Liu Fan is strong, he has made a lot of enemies, not only do we have to deal with him, but the bigwigs in the court, which of the Donglin Party doesn't want his life? As the saying goes, the enemy of the enemy is the friend, so let's unite with Liu Fan's enemy to deal with him together! ā
After a pause, Patriarch Zhao continued: "Besides, Liu Fan eats a big family, and it is not only our Laizhou that he has to deal with when dividing the land, it can be said that the gentry of the entire Ming Dynasty are his enemies. Therefore, the old man is ready to start from two aspects, on the one hand, he must contact the Donglin Zhujun to join him Liu Fan, and strive to make the matter bigger, it is best to make the scholars of the whole world come together to oppose Liu Fan, and then Liu Fan will be stuck in the quagmire and will not have time to deal with us! Master Xu, your Xu family has many officials, and one of the things that you have friends with Donglin will be handed over to you, how about it? ā
Xu Yingyuan nodded and said, "Old Patriarch Zhao, don't worry, this matter will be handed over to Xu!" However, Patriarch Zhao, Xu Mouke heard that Liu Fan is deeply favored by His Majesty, and even the Hou Sui of the Hubu Shangshu is not his opponent, and the people of Donglin alone are probably not his opponents! ā
Patriarch Zhao stroked his beard and smiled: "You don't have to worry about this matter, we are not the only ones in Laizhou who have families and businesses. It is not us who has the most land in Laizhou, but King De and the Kong family! The first thing Liu Fan wanted to offend when he wanted to enter Laizhou was King De, and the old man still had a little face in King De, and when the time came, the old man personally came to persuade King De to deal with Liu Fan together. No matter how good the relationship between him Liu Fan and His Majesty is, can he still be close to King De? ā
Xu Yingyuan couldn't help but praise when he heard this: "Jiang is still old and spicy!" The old patriarch's shot is really extraordinary! ā
"That's it, that's it! Or Old Patriarch Zhao has a way! Seeing this, everyone also hurriedly praised
Patriarch Zhao shook his head and said, "The old man just ate some more rice than you. This method looks good, but it takes too long, and the court also needs a large amount of silver and two dozens, so you have to work together! ā
As soon as they heard that they were going to pay money, everyone couldn't help but hesitate, and they couldn't help but bow their heads and fall silent. Seeing this, Patriarch Zhao sighed and said helplessly: "This is a time when it is about the life of the family, and you must not lose a big one because of a small one!" In this way, the old man will take the lead, how about I give 10,000 taels of silver as a fund? ā
Although Xu Yingyuan has a reckless personality, he can still see the big things clearly. So he said, "The old patriarch is right, he is reluctant to make a little money now, if Liu Fan really calls him in the future, he will die and the clan will be destroyed!" On behalf of the Xu family, I will pay 10,000 taels! ā
"Okay, my Wang family will also pay 5,000 taels!" "How can the Gao family be left behind, we will give 10,000 taels!"
With Xu Yingyuan taking the lead, everyone donated generously, and after a while, they gathered 100,000 taels of silver, and the Zhao patriarch was overjoyed when he saw this, and said, "Okay, everyone is a reasonable person, as long as we twist into a rope, there is no hurdle that we can't pass!"
