When Gu Yaohua unified everyone's thoughts and finally decided to cooperate with the Jiangnan wealthy family, Sun Ning was also in full swing to complete his mission - to pry Mr. Gu's mouth open and get more useful information from him.

However, this work is obviously not as easy as Gu Yaohua to persuade everyone, although it is many to one, and he still has the initiative, but this mouth is not easy to pry.

After already knowing that the general trend of Quzhou had gone and that he had completely exposed his identity, although Mr. Gu was a little shocked and annoyed, he did not collapse.

In the face of Chi Guoguo's threat, he was panicked for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure, and even showed a calm smile: "Death is death, if I am really afraid of death, I don't dare to take such an errand and run to Jiangnan." ”

Sun Ning was not annoyed by his reaction, which was actually expected by him.

If the other party was really surrendered so easily, it would be impossible for him to be entrusted with the important task of letting him come to Jiangnan to stir up the situation.

"I know what you're thinking. Even if you are caught and die at our hands, you will only be accompanying your own life. But if you really tell the truth about everything you have in your hands and betray the Zonghenghui, then there will be many deaths.

"You started with commerce, and now there are various trade routes in the world, and the accounting is naturally extremely sophisticated, and the trade-offs between the pros and cons are naturally extremely familiar."

"Hmph, since you know, why bother with your tongue. I won't betray my own people! Mr. Gu tilted his head back and closed his eyes very stiffly, completely in a posture of killing if he wanted to kill, and he didn't need to say much.

Sun Ning smiled: "Your appearance of righteous Ling Ran is really interesting." Maybe the meaning you want to convey, and what many people can think of, is that you are saying that you don't want to affect other people who are still in Jiangnan because of you.

"But in fact, you should understand in your heart that what you really care about is not the life and death of those people, but the safety and death of your own family who are still in Huaibei, right?"

This last sentence made Mr. Gu's body, who had been calm and righteous, suddenly shocked, and his face showed a look of shock and nervousness.

"Yes, after all, your surname is Gu, not Li, or Wan!" Sun Ning sighed again.

"You ......" This time Mr. Gu could no longer maintain his composure, and opened his eyes in amazement, "How do you know ......?"

"The matter of the start of the Zongheng Club is not too secret, even if it has been a hundred years, it can still be found if you want to." Sun Ning felt more confident at this time, and his tone became more stable.

Over the years, while he has completely taken over the southwest and planned to seize power in the south of the Yangtze River, he has not relaxed his exploration and understanding of the great enemy of the Zonghenghui.

Because he knows that he will eventually have a battle with this greedy force, whether they go south or go north, whether it is open or dark, it will inevitably be a dragon fight.

As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible, and knowing the enemy a little more is to get an extra chip for one's own victory.

So over the years, he has a more detailed grasp of the Zonghenghui, such as its origins and subsequent developments.

The origin of the Zonghenghui comes from a famous minister named Li Ling, who accomplished many great things and achieved extraordinary achievements in the Dayue government and the opposition a hundred years ago.

In addition to being a great minister, he also opened countless commercial banks, which has the potential to unite with the world and truly strengthen the country and enrich the people. The Zonghenghui is the joint name of these firms, which was co-founded by him and his two friends, one surnamed Wan and the other surnamed Gu.

Li, Gu, and Wan (Wan) started to write vertically and horizontally, which is why there is this big guild that has been passed down for a hundred years, so to speak, Li Ling's original idea was also to show that the three families have the same status, regardless of each other.

But just as the Zonghenghui itself has finally changed from serving the country and the people to profit-seeking and harming the world in the evolution of the past century, its internal structure has also undergone tremendous changes in the past hundred years.

Relying on the prosperity and protection of Li Ling and his descendants, the Li family has become the largest wealthy family in Lianghuai, and it has naturally become an incomparable existence in the Zonghenghui.

And Wanjia, long before Li Ling's career, was a famous local family, and it will naturally only become stronger over the years, and it has never declined. Although it is not comparable to the Li family, which has become a wealthy family, it is also a force that should not be underestimated in the Zongheng Society.

Only the Gu family is a small family, and there are no children and grandchildren with great talents, so after a hundred years, after the Vertical and Horizontal Association has been joined by wealthy giants from all walks of life, they have been completely marginalized. It is no longer one of the three major owners......

After knowing this story, Sun Ning naturally had a certain judgment about this Mr. Gu.

Although I don't know if it's really related to that ancient family, it's always good to test it at this moment. And now it seems that this time it really tried right!

Looking at the other party with a stiff face and a little confused, Sun Ning smiled more firmly: "It seems that they are indeed becoming more and more uneasy about your Gu family."

"Yes, no one will be relieved to leave you, the founding father, but you are constantly marginalized. I'm afraid that many people in your family have complained a lot about the current situation, right?

"You should be determined from a young age to revitalize the family and let the Gu family regain the right to speak in the Zonghenghui...... Therefore, not only did he study hard when he was young, but he also worked hard in the Zongheng Club, even if he knew that it was dangerous to return to Jiangnan, he didn't flinch at all! That's admirable. ”

Mr. Gu pursed his lips, but his eyes were complex and flickering, Sun Ning's words made him can't help but have the illusion that the other party is really his confidant.

Because the speculation he made is really his own life and thoughts......

But this strange touch was quickly ruthlessly destroyed by Sun Ning's next words: "But unfortunately, your identity restricts everything in you, whether it is talent or loyalty to the Zonghenghui."

"In the eyes of the Li family and others, people like you need to be more guarded against than the enemies outside, after all, you know more about the Zongheng Society, and it is easier to pose a threat to them, and more importantly, your identity may make them feel a sense of crisis, and they will replace them once you sit big or find any opportunity!

"So even if you venture into Jiangnan this time, you can't dispel their suspicions. Maybe they don't have any unfavorable actions on the surface, but in fact, secretly, even secretly, let you know, your family and clansmen have long been guarded by them. As long as you make a mistake or betray, it will be the end of the destruction of the whole clan......

"Tsk, one of the three founding families of the Zongheng Society, your Gu family is too miserable, and you are obviously the worse one!"
