Nanyang Zhao family.

Zhao Shixiu, the head of the Zhao family, sat on the main seat with a gloomy face, surrounded by the parties in each room of the Zhao family, and the three sons of the Zhao family sat down, all with serious faces.

What happened in Xinyang has been spread to Nanyang, and what happened has also been repeated to the Zhao family, Zhao Shixiu snorted and said coldly: "Let's talk about it!"

Zhao Zifan is Zhao Shixiu's third son, glanced at his two elder brothers, and was the first to speak: "Father, the child thinks that Xinyang Lu Yuan's move is a provocation to my Zhao family, and my Zhao family should be attacked head-on, so that Lu Yuan understands that this is the territory of the Zhao family, not the territory of his Lu family." ”

Zhao Shixiu glanced at Zhao Zifan, looked at Zhao Zhiheng and said, "Second brother, what do you think?"

Zhao Zhiheng's face was gloomy, the light flashed in his eyes, and he frowned: "I think the matter of Xinyang is not only Lu Yuan, or the provocation of the king of the six doors to my Zhao family, but also the provocation of the four major families in Nanyang, who doesn't know that the four major families are in the same spirit, and the Zhao family is aimed at the four major families, so the matter of Xinyang is not only the business of my Zhao family, but also the business of the four major families, and the other three families should be notified, so that they can think about what to do together." ”

Zhao Shixiu nodded slightly to Zhao Zhiheng, then looked at Zhao Moqi, who was staring at the side, and said, "Boss, what do you think?"

Zhao Moqian opened his eyes, glanced at Zhao Zhiheng, closed his eyes again, and said lightly: "I think the second child is right." ”

Zhao Shixiu glanced at Zhao Moqian unhappily, then looked at the others, and said, "What do you all think?"

Everyone saw that this was the head of the family's examination of the three sons, and their faces were different, and they spoke one after another, but the opinions of Zhao Zhiheng and Zhao Zifan also mentioned that the root of the matter seemed to be on Wang Wengui of the river yamen, but it was soon drowned out by the voices of the supporters of the two sons.

Zhao Shixiu listened to the unnutritious opinions below, waved his hand one last time, stopped the discussion, and said: "What the second brother said is right, this matter is not only the matter of our Zhao family, but also the matter of the four major families, you have also heard it, in addition to the fourth child, Xinyang also arrested the other three families, which is a provocation to our four families." ”

Zhao Shixiu's voice fell, everyone's faces became even more weird, Zhao Zhiheng's gloomy face couldn't help showing a hint of joy, and Zhao Zifan's face was also gloomy, Zhao Moqian had his eyes closed and expressionless all the time.

"Master, Qian Duoduo, the head of the Qian family, Li Siyi, the head of the Li family, and Sun Zishan, the head of the Sun family, are visiting together!" Zhao Shan, the housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion, came from outside.

"Please let them in!" Zhao Shixiu raised his eyebrows, it seemed that the matter of Xinyang also made the three of them unable to sit still, as soon as the news from their side passed, they rushed over there.

In fact, as the recent events in the court continued to spread to Nanyang, Zhao Shixiu faintly realized that there seemed to be an invisible big hand slowly stretching out towards Nanyang, ready to shroud the Zhao family and even the entire Nanyang when he was unconscious, Zhao Shixiu had presided over the Nanyang Zhao family for many years, and this time it was the first time to have this dangerous feeling.

Almost as soon as the imperial decree came out, Zhao Shixiu sent Wang Wengui, who originally lived in Nanyang City, to a safe place, and said that he would move the Nanyang River to make Wei Changyou secretly leave Nanyang, but at present, Xinyang's actions seem to be insufficient.

Leaving the three sons of the Zhao family and several family elders, the rest of the Zhao family who were discussing here retreated one after another, and everyone knew that the people who stayed behind were the real core figures of the Zhao family, because the next discussion was the real solution to the Xinyang incident.

Qian Duoduo, Li Siyi, and Sun Zishan were guided by Zhao Shan to come in, talked about the old with Zhao Shixiu, sat down with the guests, and then Qian Duoduo said impatiently: " Brother Zhao, Xinyang deceived people too much, and even the fourth son of your family was arrested, and even my family's unsuccessful Qian Guangda was also imprisoned, and he simply regarded me as nothing, and asked the younger brother to see, the gang of people in Xinyang were not for any Wang Wengui at all, nor for any river yamen, they were just for our four major families, the younger brother was not good, and asked Brother Zhao to show me what to do. ”

Li Siyi frowned and said: "Don't hide it from you, Xinyang has been shut down more than 20 restaurants this time, 16 of which have a part of my Li family, the family heard what happened in Xinyang, and the little brother I had a headache, hearing Brother Zhao's invitation, the little brother rushed over as soon as possible, how to deal with this matter, we have to come up with a plan, in addition, I think what Lao Qian said makes sense, Xinyang's posture is not like it is only for Wang Wengui." ”

Different from the three of Zhao Shixiu, Sun Zishan is a young man, similar in age to several sons of the Zhao family, and said with a smile at the moment: "Uncles, what should I do, you have your ideas, and the little nephew will listen to your uncles in everything." ”

In fact, what happened in Xinyang this time has little to do with the Sun family, because the focus of the Sun family is not in Xinyang City, the loss is very small, but Sun Zishan has just succeeded to the position of the head of the Sun family, and he still needs the support of the Zhao, Qian, and Li families, so he will follow to join in the fun, after all, the four major families are in the same breath.

Zhao Shixiu and the three of them didn't take Sun Zishan in their eyes, the juniors, even if they became the head of the family alongside them, they were also juniors, but Zhao Zhiheng and Zhao Zishan behind Zhao Shixiu couldn't help but show envy for Sun Zishan, they were all the same generation, but their status was a big difference, but Zhao Moqian still closed his eyes and looked indifferent.

After some discussion, the four heads of the family felt that what happened in Xinyang was not simple, and it might be a pit, but where was this pit and how deep it was dug, but several family heads couldn't understand.

Sun Zishan was young and vigorous, and suddenly smiled: "Three uncles, since you can't figure out what Xinyang means, why don't you try it again?"

"What does the virtuous nephew say?" Zhao Shixiu looked at Sun Zishan.

"The three uncles know how to startle the snake. Sun Zishan said with a smile.

Act rashly and alert the enemy?

Zhao Shixiu and the three of them looked stunned, and couldn't help but look at each other and smile, it turned out that the three of them had already thought of this, but they asked Sun Zishan to say their thoughts first.

Seeing the expressions of Zhao Shixiu and the others, Zhao Zhiheng and Zhao Zifan were so blessed that they bowed down at the same time and said: "Father, the three family heads, the kid is willing to go to Xinyang to see what Xinyang means." ”

"It's rare that the two virtuous nephews have a heart, Brother Zhao is really a tiger father without a dog!" Qian Duoduo said with a smile: "Unlike those few things in my family that are not successful, I know how to walk birds and fight dogs all day long, and I don't do my job, and I don't have much interest." ”

"Laughing at it, several virtuous nephews are very good. Zhao Shixiu said with a smile, although he knew that Qian Duoduo was purely praising people, but who told all fathers in the world to like their sons to be praised?

And Zhao Moqi, who had been closing his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes at this time, looked at his two younger brothers, closed his eyes again, and the corners of his mouth faintly hung a mocking arc.

Xinyang City.

Wang Mang sat with Lu Yuan and the others, looking at the news from Nanyang, and was silent.
