Hearing that the grain depot in the northern suburbs had been burned, Huang Derong simply groaned in pain. Although it is said that the three caves of the cunning rabbit, the grain depot in the northern suburbs is only one of them, but this is the largest grain depot, how to say that the Huang family has also lost nearly one-third of the stored grain, converted into money, nearly the income of the Huang family for more than 20 years.

"Who did it?" Huang Derong's eyes were red with anger, and his rickety and elderly body kept trembling because of anger: "Who is so bold that he dares to openly oppose our Huang family." ”

The servant seemed to be forced by Huang Derong's momentum, and knelt directly on the ground, sweat dripping down his forehead, and he said intermittently: "Hui elder, when we went there, we saw the people of the old Chen family, they were slowly leaving, and they didn't seem to hide any movements, and they wanted to come...... It should be them. ”

Old Chen's family! Hearing this word, Huang Derong's anger disappeared a lot. Without him, the old ancestor of the old Chen family dared to say in front of the whole city that he was going to rebel, and he even dared to do such a ridiculous thing and burn a piece of his family's grain depot, what was it, if he didn't attack them immediately now, he was already extremely restrained.

Sitting back in his chair, Huang Derong waved his sleeves calmly and said to the servant: "You go down first, send people to guard several other grain depots, but don't let them burn them again." ”

The servant breathed a sigh of relief, saluted, and left. Chang Zhiqiu, who was watching the play on the side at this time, chuckled: "Well, Patriarch Huang is really full of momentum, and he is worthy of being the commander of the forbidden army back then." In a fit of rage, the puppet was frightened. But the old Chen family burned your grain depot, so you just forget it? It's a matter of face. ”

Huang Derong sighed: "This breath can only be swallowed for the time being." Now for the suppression of the rebellion. The soldiers of my Huang family were all sent to the north and south, and although there were still more than 1,000 elite soldiers left behind to guard Heluo City, a small part of them were used for city defense. And more than half of it has to be used to defend the imperial city, and the remaining soldiers who defend our Huang family are less than two hundred, and it is okay to use it to guard the family's courtyard, but if it is used to attack, some people are not enough. The old Chen family has been a family for thousands of years, and I don't believe that he only has that bit of strength on the surface. This kind of time. If you can bear it, you should bear it. ”

"Indeed, bear with the sea and the sky, and take a step back to calm the waves. This is the teaching of the strict saints. Chang Zhiqiu said with the old god there: "It's just that this word doesn't apply to any situation. The Huang family is now on the cusp of the storm. As a member of the royal family, you are the royal spear and shield, if you endure this breath, it means that the royal family has endured this breath. What kind of impact this can have. What kind of perception it will give to other families, I think Patriarch Huang should also understand. ”

Huang Derong was silent, he naturally understood the meaning of Chang Zhiqiu's words. In the eyes of others, the strength of the Huang family is the strength of the royal family, if the Huang family is strong. That means that the royal family is naturally very strong, if the Huang family cowers. was bullied to the head, and he didn't dare to fight back, so the state of the royal family at this time was a little different in the eyes of those who cared.

"What does President Chang have to say?" After Huang Derong was silent, he asked in a low voice. He couldn't afford not to ask. The Huang family is dependent on the royal family to survive, and if the royal family falls, or the royal family is not happy, their Huang family is even more unhappy.

In the late autumn days, although there is a bright sun hanging in the sky, but the wind is still very cold, Chang Zhiqiu likes this kind of weather the most, dry and refreshing, the slight chill can make him feel that his mind is more sober, not to mention that there is also a word 'autumn' in his name, he feels that he is the only one who is most suitable for the name of Zhiqiu in this world, as for the other people called 'Zhiqiu', they are all vassals and elegant people: "If the Huang family is not manpowered, you can find some friends, for example, Liang Wangfu and the like." ”

Huang Derong's expression moved slightly, but he quickly shook his head, Liang Wangfu is a member of the royal family, it is reasonable, and his status is higher than that of the Huang family, and it is already very good that Liang Wangfu does not come to call the Huang family, how can the Huang family be qualified to cooperate with the master.

"I know that President Chang will definitely have a way, and I hope to mention one or two, and the Huang family will definitely have more contacts with President Chang in the future."

Chang Zhiqiu was waiting for the other party's words, he gently sipped the tea, looked at the brown tea leaves slowly floating in the teacup, and after a while, he said quietly: "We Donglin Society, there are many scholars, and many scholars are people from big families, the most noble family in this world is the royal family, but if you want to talk about the most capable people in this world, it is none other than our scholars." In this world, every political and legal law, every decree is from the hands of our scholars, we can shepherd the people of the world, we can live the people of the world, we are the smartest people in the world, but we have no way to ensure that our descendants can enjoy our remaining Meng! ”

Huang Derong looked at the other party with some puzzlement: "President Chang, you are a smart person, you scholars are all smart people, I understand this, but I don't understand what you mean now!" ”

Chang Zhiqiu smiled and said: "The current emperor, as well as the current prince, have intentionally or unintentionally suppressed our scholars, this court, more than half of the official positions are held by our scholars, in political affairs, we have always done a good job, but since ten years ago, the emperor has slowly reclaimed our real power, and the current prince is on the emperor's side." ”

Huang Derong frowned, these words involved the master, and he was not good at commenting.

"We scholars generally start from the lowest Jiupin Sesame County officials, slowly accumulate experience in governing the country, and then the capable will prevail, and finally become a member of the palace. But since ten years ago, most of the scholars who won the imperial examination have been assigned to some insignificant positions, while the real power positions have been entrusted by the emperor to some descendants of the family. ”

"Since then, state affairs have gradually become erosive. The riots in the north and south have a lot to do with it. ”

Huang Derong continued to listen and did not express any opinions.

Chang Zhiqiu continued: "After several years of discussion, all the talents of our Donglin Society unanimously believe that if this continues, our Aurora Kingdom may really never be at peace, those barbarians in the east are not good people, once our Aurora Kingdom is weakened, they will invade on a large scale, maybe they will reproduce the changes in Qina six hundred years ago, and the north-south rebellion is just the beginning. ”

"So we need someone who won't suppress the rights of our scholars too much."

Huang Derong finally understood at this time, he stood up with a bang, pointed at Chang Zhiqiu and shouted in disbelief: "You guys, your Donglin Society also plans to build a ...... You said before that if our Huang family and Donglin Society were together, there would be a day when we would soar, is it every day? ”

"We don't plan to rebel." Chang Zhiqiu said slowly: "In this world, this throne is still the Liang family, but I want to change someone to be the prince, this person doesn't need to be more eloquent, and he doesn't need to be wise, just ask him not to suppress our scholars to govern, just listen to the advice of the contrary, we all feel that although the fourth prince is not a famous lord, he is better than his temperament and temperament......"

Having said this, Chang Zhiqiu closed his mouth. Although Huang Derong is just an ordinary person, I believe that he should be able to speculate on the following content with his experience of living for decades. The room was quiet, Huang Derong pondered, did not speak, did not move, only the occasional soft sound of Chang Zhiqiu sipping tea.

After half a ring, Huang Derong's old pale brown eyes, which were already a little cloudy, a little bit of green light skimmed, he raised his head, and was about to speak, when the previous servant rushed to the ground again, this time his face was full of panic, and as soon as he came in, he shouted: "Patriarch, something is wrong, someone from outside has come in." ”

"What?" Huang Derong was really angry at this moment, didn't someone just burn down a grain depot, and now someone actually knocked on the door: "Then what are you doing in a daze, why don't you quickly lead someone to kill them all?" ”

"Didn't you just let them all guard the other grain depots?" The servant complained bitterly: "Now there are only more than 20 miscellaneous servants in the house, and there are about 10 nursing homes, and they can't be stopped at all." ”

Fooled! Huang Derong and Chang Zhiqiu both flashed this thought in their minds at the same time, the old Chen family in front had just burned a grain depot, Huang Derong had just put people outside to defend, and the other party immediately hit the door, don't think about it, the person who pinched the time so accurately must be the person who set fire to the grain depot, it is definitely the old Chen family, and he didn't run away.

"President Tsune." Huang Derong took a deep breath: "There is a secret passage in our backyard, I will take you there now." Your status is noble, if there is something in our Huang family, then even if our Huang family dies, it will not be able to withstand such a mistake, please come with me. ”

"Not necessarily!" Chang Zhiqiu stood up while waving his hand, and said: "I am the president of the Donglin Society, even if the Holy Lord wants to kill me today, he must find evidence of my great rebellion, and even if he finds it, there is no need to kill me." It's just an old Chen family, I don't believe they dare to tear their faces with our Donglin Society, let's go, let's go out to see, in the end, the old Chen family, dare to hit it so blatantly, I'm very curious, if they know that I am also here, what kind of expression will they have. ”

Huang Derong's face was happy, Chang Zhiqiu's words made it clear that he wanted to support the Huang family, although he didn't know what kind of price he needed to pay afterwards, but at least he had to get through the difficulties in front of him first.

The two of them went out of the room and went straight to the front hall, where they heard the shouting of killing, and then when they turned the corner, they saw that at the entrance of the middle court, there were more than a dozen fighters in black soap clothes, all of them were imposing, and they were all strong opponents at first glance. Around them, most of the people lying on the ground had lost their ability to fight and were groaning, and only a few of them were still desperately resisting.

"Chen Jialuo!" Huang Derong recognized the leading young man at a glance, and he shouted: "You don't know how to live or die, don't count taking people to burn down our Huang family's grain depot, but you still dare to bring people to fight the ground, are you impatient?" (To be continued......)
