"How's the repair of the city wall going?"

"Have all the thieves been purged ... ”

"What is the situation in the city, and are there any signs of instability?"

Situ Xing sat on the Taishi chair, his eyes were firmly fixed on the copywriting in front of him, and he asked as if he were in a row.

"Your Excellency!"

"The officials and soldiers have used their lives, and most of the repair work of the city wall has been completed. ”

"The rebels were also eliminated, and the bandit leader Wang Dayu led the remnants of the army to retreat into the mountains, and he didn't dare to appear around the city at all!"

"But... ”

Yang Shou, who was holding the family heirloom knife, looked at Situ with a grateful face.

If it weren't for him, this family heirloom sword would definitely be lost, and he would also become the eternal sinner of the Yang family.

It is precisely because of this gratitude that Yang Shou is more and more attentive in his work.

The city that would have taken months to repair, he insisted on bringing the construction period forward to a month.

Moreover, the remnants of Wang Dayu and others were also chased by him to the deep mountains and old forests, if it weren't for the complicated geographical situation in Montenegro, he would definitely kill them all.

However, even Yang Shou, there are some things that he can't handle.

"But what?"

Situ Xing subconsciously raised his head, looked at Yang Shou with an embarrassed face, and asked with some curiosity.

"However, those who participated in the rebellion will not be dealt with!"

Yang Shou said with some embarrassment.

"Why didn't it be disposed of!"

Situ Xing's eyes flashed, and he asked in some surprise.

"Adults don't know!"

"Most of the wealthy families in Zhibei County are involved... ”

"These wealthy families have been operating in the local area for hundreds of years, and they are either married or relatives, and they are the most intricate, and they have long been a whole with prosperity and loss. As long as one of them is not handled properly, it may cause their overall counterattack, or even provoke a civil uprising, destroying the hard-won stability in Zhibei County, so the last general is really a bogey. ”

"It's been delayed again and again!"

"Please also condemn your sins!"

Yang Shou looked at Situ Xing's gloomy face, and couldn't help but feel a sense of anxiety in his heart, lest he think too much, so he hurriedly stepped forward to explain.

"Together!"

"The roots are intricate!"

"Rat-throwing bogey!"

Situ Xing's eyes were gloomy, and he repeated it mechanically twice.

"Yes!"

"Your Excellency!"

"It is precisely by virtue of this relationship that the local wealthy family dares to be so presumptuous!"

Yang Shou hurriedly nodded, with a look of agreement.

"This is also the reason why the wealthy people have no fear, after all, the law does not blame the public!"

"It's a good law that doesn't blame the public!"

"This official wants to see if the law really does not hold the public accountable!"

Situ Xing's eyes shot a fine light, and he suddenly stood up, with a solemn face, and said in a cold voice.

The Bai family's mansion

Dressed in gorgeous clothes and with a gentle and elegant bearing, Bai Zizi, the head of the Bai family, sat at the top.

The Cheng family, the Liu family, the Nangong family, the Hu family and several other family patriarchs with slightly inferior power sat under him, as if the stars were holding the moon.

Bai Zizai looked around, looking at the heads of the wealthy families who were a little pale and in a hurry, as well as the few seats that were obviously empty, and his heart was full of indescribable emotion.

The ancestor of Kunpeng, who had suppressed Zhibei County for decades, was beheaded by Situ Xing, the main bookkeeper Li Bolun was beheaded by the avenging Liu Ziqian, and the whereabouts of Li Chengze, the young master of the Li family, are unknown, and his life and death are unknown.

The Li family, who used to be the first wealthy family in Zhibei County, became history overnight!

Wang Shi, the head of the Wang family, gave and accepted bribes because of the relationship of the "Qingmiao Law", and after the matter was revealed, he could only flee from Zhibei, and was killed by Wang Qian of Chengjun in Beijun.

The only seedling of the Wang family, the eldest young master Wang Dayu, took refuge in Wushengdao, plotted to murder the official and rebelled, and was suppressed by Situ Xing's backhand, and now he can only survive in the deep mountains.

The Wang family, the No. 1 grain merchant in Zhibei County, also fell!

Now in Zhibei County, Nuoda, the only people who are really counted as wealthy are the Bai family, who have practiced medicine for generations, the Lu family, who was born as a businessman, and the Hu family, who has just emerged because of joining the army.

Because of their own family interests, the Lu family has never participated in the government affairs of Zhibei County.

The Hu family is at both ends of the end, and it is easy not to express a position.

Now, whether it is for the sake of his own family or for the sake of the interests of the wealthy family, whether he is willing or unwilling, he has to stand up and take the initiative to provoke this beam.

After all, other small families, in terms of history, influence, and prestige, are much worse than the Bai family.

"Everyone, you're all here!"

"Then today our rally can begin!"

"How do you start now?"

"Lu family!"

"Hu family!"

"They haven't arrived yet?"

"That's it!"

"The five wealthy families of Zhibei County, Li, Wang, Hu, Bai, Lu... ”

"Because the Lu family has no heirs and is a merchant family, it has always been at the bottom. The strongest is the Li family, which not only has power in the government, but also has a congenital master like Kunpeng Ancestor to suppress it. ”

"The second is the Wang family, the Wang family is a branch of the Wang family in Bei County, with a large background, and it controls most of the fertile land, granaries, and tenant farmers in Zhibei County, and is the largest grain merchant in Zhibei County. ”

"It's the Hu family again, the Hu family has been in business for a very short time, only a few decades, but the Hu family is thriving, with Sima Zhao of Beijun on the top and Hu Tingyu from the Yamen of the Inspection Department under him. In Zhibei County, except for the Li family, who has an innate master, no one dares to underestimate his strength!"

"The fourth is the Bai family who has practiced medicine for generations, and it is said that the ancestor of the Bai family was once a disciple of the medical family, and his medical skills are very superb, and he is a peripheral disciple of the Medicine King Valley, and he has a chance to enter the lineage!"

"But there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck. On a certain mission, the ancestor of the Bai family was injured by an evil cultivator in order to save a senior, although the people of the Medicine King Valley had superb medical skills, they did not save his life!"

"That senior thanked the ancestors of the Bai family for their loyalty and took great care of the Bai family's heirs, and it is precisely for this reason that the Bai family in Zhibei County has a lineage!"

"It's a pity that the descendants of the Bai family have very average qualifications, even if that senior takes care of them, no one will worship the Medicine King Valley again!"

"Even if the ancestor of the Li family falls now, the Li family falls apart, and the Wang family is ruined!"

"There are not many remaining families in Zhibei County, but in terms of real strength, the Bai family can only rank second!"

"What's more, the Lu family, although it has always been the last existence among the wealthy families in Zhibei County, but no family dares to really despise the Lu family!"

"Because the Lu family is the kind of family that is truly inherited from ancient times!"

"Even more out of Lu Shang, Lu Buwei is a great talent... ”

"The heritage is profound, far from being comparable to those families with only a few decades of history!"

"It is precisely for this reason that the Li family wants to marry the Lu family in every possible way, hoping to obtain the support of the Lu family, so as to break through the restrictions of personality and get out of Zhibei County and become the high gate of Beijun or Shendu!"

"Don't wait for the Hu family and the Lu family to start... ”

"Isn't there something wrong?"

"That's it!"

"Master Bai, let's wait a little longer, everyone is not in a hurry now!"

Seeing that Bai Zizi wanted not to wait for the Lu family, the Hu family began to preside over the meeting, and a trace of hesitation flashed in their eyes, and they said with some nonsense.

"yes!"

"yes!"

"This gathering is related to the future of our wealthy family in Zhibei County, life and death!"

"Not a small matter!"

"No matter how much the Lu family and the Hu family say, they are also members of the wealthy family in Zhibei County, everyone is prosperous and lossy, how can they start without waiting for them?"

"That's it!"

"Who says it isn't!"

Bai Zizai looked around with cold eyes, watching everyone gossip, and after a while, when everyone's voices gradually lowered, he said faintly:

"You don't think that the Bai family, Bai someone is not qualified to sit in this main seat, right?"

"This... ”

"How is this possible?"

Everyone was told by Bai Zizi, and their faces suddenly showed embarrassment, and they said a little curtly.

"Bai Ye thinks too much... The Bai family has been in Zhibei County for hundreds of years, and there are countless people, how dare we have such thoughts. ”

"No, that's the best!"

"The Lu family and the Hu family, Bai has already sent someone to inform you!"

"It's all come to this point, Mr. Hu Da and Lu Gong are not present, I'm afraid they don't want to wade into this troubled water!"

Bai Zizi looked around with eyes like knives, and all the people who looked at him subconsciously lowered their heads, and after he nodded with satisfaction, he said domineeringly:

"Since the Hu family and the Lu family don't want to wade into troubled waters, I can't force them!"

"Or I'll wait for myself to discuss it and see how I can get through the difficulties in front of me!"

Looking at the two empty chairs, the faces of each of the heads of the family present were a little ugly, although they still had a little luck in their hearts, but they also had to admit that what Bai Zizi said made sense.

It seems that the Hu family and the Lu family really want to get out of the way and watch the fire from the other side!

"Traitor!"

"All traitors!"

People who have an excessively aggressive personality and are easily impulsive scolded a little angrily.

"The eagle dog of the government!"

Bai Zizi didn't stop it, looking around with a smile in his eyes, with indescribable excitement on his face.

It was also the first time he felt in power.

At this moment ...

An old, but full of anger voice suddenly came from the door of the hall:

"Who said ... ”

Listening to that familiar voice, Bai Zizi's face suddenly showed embarrassment, and the expressions of the others suddenly became colorful and unusually exciting.

"Why is he here today?"

"Didn't he never go to the mansions?"
