Chapter 6 Weeding
Under the eyes of everyone, Gao Mingtang's face turned from white to red, and then from red to purple, he took a few breaths, and finally suppressed it without having a seizure, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Qianye, you also plan to stand and talk about things?"
The heads of the families sitting in the hall all looked away,.。 Compared to the Gao family, their family is too far behind. Gao Mingtang had to stand at the door, where could they sit safely? It's just that the pressure from above was as heavy as waves, and even a few heads of the family who had always been attached to the Gao family didn't dare to stand up.
Qianye's expression was indifferent, "Since it's late, let's stand." ”
Gao Mingtang laughed angrily and said, "Okay! Then I want to ask, what about those who haven't arrived yet?"
"Before dark, since I didn't come, I didn't use it. ”
Gao Mingtang sneered, and was about to blurt out what do you want if they don't come, but suddenly he was excited, and the sneer turned into a cold sweat.
Gao Mingtang considered the words and said, "In other words, there will be no place for them here......
"There won't be a place for them in the city. Qianye still had cold eyebrows and a flat tone.
Gao Mingtang's heart froze, and he couldn't help asking: "My lord, if there is no support from all the families, how can this huge Tingchao City be governed?"
Listening to such a behemoth as Chaocheng, seeing that it has suffered heavy losses now, but the resources, geographical advantages and other conditions that were originally located here have not disappeared, and it is only a matter of time before it recovers. The interests of such a big city are intricate, and the forces are intertwined, if Qianye wants to transfer people from Nanqing and other places to control the city's affairs, it is really not so easy.
However, Qianye, who was in the upper position, smiled slightly and said, "Who said that it must be well governed?"
This time, not only Gaoming Hall, but all the family heads in the council hall were stunned, and then their faces changed greatly. They were all smart people, and they immediately understood the meaning of Qianye's words. Since the effect is not considered, it is natural that there is no need to worry about causing damage to Tingchao City, which one makes Qianye unpleasant, which one will be unlucky. As for whether Tingchaocheng will be depressed and depressed because of this, what does it matter to him?
In this way, the most important value that the major families feel about themselves has become meaningless, and there is nothing that can be used to hold a thousand nights hostage. Oh, you say reputation? Everyone here is the head of the family, this kind of nonsense, it's just a matter of letting go of the mouth, Qianye's attitude is so clear now, and if you talk about this again, you can only bring shame on yourself.
Looking at the situation in the East China Sea, Qianye sat firmly in the position of the city lord of Tingchao City, and naturally had a reputation. If you can't sit still, will it be nice to give up your inheritance, or will it be nice to tear down this big city? The former is a weak word, and the latter is a fierce word, which one is better? The heads of the families know very well.
After figuring out this verse, the heads of each family have different expressions and moods. Most of them are still thoughtful, and some have a faint joy. Although Chaocheng is big, it can't accommodate too many families. Those big families have been killed, so that they have room for these small families to come out.
Gao Mingtang's face changed several times, he struggled for a long time in his heart, and then looked at the sky outside, and finally bowed deeply to Qianye, and said, "It is indeed Gao who is rude to miss the time set by the adult." Now Gao is a little anxious, can you leave for a while?"
"Go ahead. Qianye waved his hand.
Gao Mingtang immediately hurried away and left the City Lord's Mansion. After a while, he returned, and back and forth was indeed a solution to the internal emergency. It's just that everyone knows what he's going for, otherwise there are many toilets in the city lord's mansion, so why bother to solve it outside the mansion.
Outside the window, it was getting dark, and it was about to get dark in less than a quarter of an hour. Qianye sat on a high seat, her eyes lowered, as if she was asleep, quietly waiting for time to pass. The heads of the families did not speak, one by one like old monks, waiting silently.
The last rays of light faded from the horizon, and a screeching sound of brakes sounded outside the door, and the sound did not stop, and the two figures had crossed the wall of the mansion and appeared directly at the door of the hall. When they walked into the council hall, their steps were calm, but they couldn't even wait to walk through the door, and the scene of entering directly over the wall had already revealed their inner anxiety.
"Lu Dinghan of the Lu family, meet Lord Qianye. ”
"The Sun family and the grandson spread the voice, and I met Lord Qianye. ”
The heads of the family were suddenly restless again. The Lu and Sun families are still ranked above the Gao family in Tingchao City, and they are firmly in the top five families. They came in a hurry, needless to say, it must be Gao Mingtang who reported the news. But it was very intriguing to hear that the two heads of the largest Wu and Du families in Chaocheng had not yet arrived, and I didn't know if they hadn't received news from Gao Mingtang, or they weren't ready to appear.
The Du family is really Du Yuan's relatives, but the main mansion and the commander's mansion are not in the same place, and it is normal for them not to come. The Wu family also holds many important positions, and their influence is all over the small half of Tingchao City, the strong people in the clan are like clouds, and the two daughters in the family are married to Zhang Buzhou's two nephews, which can be regarded as relatives.
As soon as Sun Lu's family arrived, it was dark. The council chamber was lit up along with the Force lights in various parts of the City Lord's Mansion.
Qianye's eyes finally opened, sat up straight, and said, "Since you're here, just stand there." ”
The two heads of the family were obviously mentally prepared, indicating that their kung fu was much better than before Gao Mingtang, and they couldn't see any annoyance on their faces, so they greeted Gao Mingtang and stood beside him.
Qianye commanded: "It's almost time, close the gate." If anyone comes, they will not be seen. ”
The guards in the palace immediately spread the word.
Originally, the gate of the mansion and the gatehouse were smashed by a thousand nights, but the city lord's mansion is a fortress-type design, and there are two layers like the city gate of Tingchao City, and the layer of combat readiness is a one-meter-wide alloy, which is usually collected in the walls of the mansion on both sides, and a few wall bricks are removed to expose the metal door, which looks a little miserable, and the track and mechanical conveyor belt are intact. When I went in and out of the night, I also reflected a little, and in the future, for the place to be occupied and used, even if it is only for temporary use, it can not be destroyed like this.
At this moment, the two small steam towers made a whistle sound, pushing the machinery, and the door slowly closed.
Qianye beckoned, and an officer of the city guard came over and presented a map. The head of the house near had sharp eyes and saw clearly that it was a map of Tingchao City.
Qianye glanced at the map and said, "Everyone wait here for a while, I have something to do now, I can go back as soon as I go." ”
After that, he didn't care what the faces of the heads of the family looked after hearing this, and left by himself.
There was silence in the council hall for a while, all the heads of the family, you look at me, I look at you, they don't know what Qianye is going to do. Even if I had a guess in my heart, I thought it was ridiculous.
As if he waited in the embarrassing silence, it didn't take long for the figure of the Thousand Nights to suddenly appear at the door of the council hall, and then with a flicker, it was already seated in the throne. He casually threw the heads of the two people in front of the heads of the family and said, "But these two people?"
When the heads of the families saw the faces of the heads clearly, they were instantly shocked, and some even exclaimed. In the sudden panic, there were also people with different faces. Qianye looked at these in her eyes, pointed at Liu Minlun, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Liu Minlun's face turned bitter, knowing that this was an errand that offended people, but the place where he was sitting had already made him have no way out, and when he saw the two heads in the hall, he gritted his teeth violently, got up and arched his hand: "My lord, this person is Wu Chunlei, and he is the head of the Wu family." However, the other is named Du Xifei, but he is the brother of the head of the Du family, not the head of the family himself. Du Xiyuan, the head of the Du family, should not be in the city at this moment. ”
Qianye's eyebrows raised slightly, and said, "So that's the case." I took this Du out of the Du family's wife's room, I thought it should be the head of the family's room. In this way, it seems that I have a preconceived idea. ”
The heads of the family suddenly looked strange, but they didn't expect to hear such a powerful news inadvertently.
Qianye ordered someone to take away the two heads, and said: "Anyway, it can be regarded as a gain, at least one of the main heads has been obtained." As for Du Xiyuan, as long as he dares to listen back to Chaocheng, it will only be a matter of time before he is cleaned up. Okay, don't worry about him for now, it's not too early, it's time to get down to business. ”
All the heads of the house straightened up and listened. Even the three family heads who were standing in Gao Mingtang leaned forward slightly, for fear of missing a word.
Qianye said slowly: "I heard that the military headquarters of the Great Qin Empire has many layouts in neutral places, and the East China Sea is no exception. Hearing that Chaocheng is the largest city in the East China Sea, and there are its own military secrets in the city, I know that many families have connections with it. All I want now is the heads of all the shadows!"
The heads of the family don't know how many times they have changed their faces today, but their words and deeds are unexpected. Who would have thought that Qianye would come to listen to Chaocheng without mentioning resources or benefits, and it was such a request in the first place.
This requirement is not difficult to say, but it is not easy to say that it is not easy. The point is that Qianye fought side by side with the Empire not long ago, how could he make such a request? Could it be that he was still testing the loyalty of the people?
Qianye saw their thoughts and said, "The empire is very large, and there are many factions and forces. It just so happens that this faction they have laid out in the Neutral Land has a deep hatred for me. Now I think it's time to clean up these eyesores. Then let's start with Listening to Tide City. ”
Speaking of this, he paused, looked around at the group of family heads, and said meaningfully: "I may cooperate with the Great Qin Empire, but never expect me to reconcile with this faction, understand?"
The heads of the family were awe-inspiring in their hearts, and they were already clear about Qianye's determination, but they were also a little relieved. If Qianye wants to deal with the behemoth empire of Great Qin, he naturally doesn't know how many people will become cannon fodder, but personal grievances are different.
Sun Chuansheng, who was standing at the gate, arched his hand and said, "Lord Qianye, there are still some difficulties here, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?"
Qianye said: "In this hall, there are no outsiders. If you have anything to say, just say it. ”
Sun Chuansheng said: "The Imperial Military Department does have several strongholds in the city, and we also know a few of the people inside. But these strongholds were all established with the tacit consent of King Zhang, and there was even a mansion that the Heavenly King's Mansion directly came forward to take. You're going to clean them up, but the King knows?"
Qianye said lightly: "I am the Lord of Tingchao City, as long as what I do, as long as it is in line with my heart." It doesn't matter what Zhang Buzhou thinks. ”
Sun Chuansheng's face changed slightly, and he said, "That's the case, then Sun understands." ”
It's hard to say what you will do. The other heads of the family were also silent, and it was difficult to say whether they would take the opportunity to fight against the party or delay the change.
Qianye said casually: "I know very well what you are thinking. It's just that the two heads just now should make you understand that now is not the time to think about how to get through Zhang Buzhou. What you have to think about is how to get through me. If you can't pass the current hurdle, there's no need to think about it. ”
That's the naked threat.
Lu Dinghan, the head of the Lu family, took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Lord Qianye, you are really embarrassed by this for us. It stands to reason that your position as the city lord is also from Zhang Tianwang......"
Qianye raised his hand to stop him, and said, "This city lord is my own, and it is true that Zhang Buzhou announced it, but it is different from him." You don't have to stress this matter to me now, in other words, many people are pretending not to hear and are fighting against Zhang Buzhou?"
Seeing that his words were a little stiff, Gao Mingtang hurriedly pulled Lu Dinghan and said to Qianye: "My lord, after all, Zhang Tianwang is highly respected, and it seems that you are a little ...... Not thorough enough. ”
"It's not thorough, it doesn't matter. All I need to do is see these people disappear in the middle of the war, and the rest is not on my mind. ”
"So, expel them?" Gao Mingtang asked cautiously.
"No, it has to be uprooted, get it?"
The heads of the family had already seen the murderous aura in Qianye's eyes, even the three families of Gaosun Lu didn't dare to say more, they glanced at each other and were silent.
Qianye glanced at the audience and said lightly: "I don't want anything to go wrong in this matter." Listening to the relationship between the various families in Chaocheng is meaningless to me. If you really can't do it, then it's the same if I transfer troops from Nanqingcheng. ”
The transfer of troops from Nanqing is a gesture, which has nothing to do with the military strength of Tingchao and Nanqing, but means the result of Qianye's treatment of Tingchao City. This is undoubtedly a catastrophe for all families. The heads of the families didn't dare to say more, and they scattered to arrange.
Under the darkness of the night, several fires suddenly broke out in Tingchao City, and the flames soared into the sky. Several houses were reduced to ashes in the flames, and no one escaped from them.
