The Qi family is the largest family in Yuanzhou under the jurisdiction of Datong Prefecture.

Although it is located in a local area, the Qi family's industry is all over Shanxi.

And unlike the Fang family, the Qi family does not deal in land, and high-end luxury goods such as refined salt, ceramics and even silk and tea are the pillar industries of the Qi family.

Therefore, for the matter of cracking down on salt dealers and salt gangs on behalf of the royal palace, it caused a lot of losses to the Qi family.

The Qi family is very unkind to this little prince, but the other party, as the king of the domain, can only hope that the two sides can not interfere with the river water.

But this time, the Acting Wangfu stretched out his hand to Yuanzhou, which was unbearable for the Qi family.

Therefore, on the second day after the announcement of the royal palace was issued, the officials of various states and counties had not yet reacted, and he had already begun to contact the Haoqiang family in other states and counties, preparing to borrow a knife to kill people.

It's just that the families involved this time are only one-third of what the Qi family expected.

It seemed that those families were frightened by the destruction of the Fang family.

After all, except for the behemoth like the Qi family, the other families were small families that chose to develop in the state and county because they couldn't compete with the Fang family.

The gathering hall of the Qi family house in Yuanzhou.

At this time, the house and the courtyard were full of people.

This time, on the occasion of the 70th birthday of the old patriarch of the Qi family, the new patriarch of the Qi family organized this meeting.

The people outside are all hidden, and those who can sit inside the house are the ones in charge.

Qi Tai, the head of the Qi family, is a burly middle-aged man with a square face and a long body.

He sat at the head of the house, looked around with leopard eyes for a week, nodded and said: "Since the person has expired, the old man will also say it directly, the old man has agreed with the Wild Wolf Gang that the little prince will be led to Hujian Gorge in three days, and then they will take action." ”

Hujian Gorge is the most precipitous place in Wuzhou Mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, both sides are high mountains, it can be described as a dangerous place.

When everyone heard this, they all nodded, but their faces still showed uneasiness.

Someone got up and said, "Patriarch Qi, how are you going to make an appointment with that little prince?" I heard that although he is young, he is quite deep in the city, does this matter need to be considered in the long run? ”

"That's right, the wild wolf gang is entrenched in Wuzhou Mountain, which is a well-known thing for us in Shanxi, will he go?"

"I think it's better to let those horse bandits attack Datong Mansion directly."

"Are you stupid? Have you forgotten why the Fang family didn't get it? ”

The crowd in the parlor was caught in a heated argument.

"Alright."

Qi Tai slapped the table and shouted.

"This matter will be handled by the old man, you just need to make up enough money for the gift money needed by the Wild Wolf Gang, and today's matter, you need to sign your name on this petition, if anyone dares to betray everyone, we can deal with this person together."

Qi Tai beckoned, and the housekeeper of the Qi family next to him held a wooden tray with a paper manuscript on it.

Seeing this, everyone showed embarrassment.

But under Qi Tai's angry eyes, they had no choice but to sign them one by one and press their handprints.

The banquet dispersed, and Qi Tai sat on a chair a little tired and drank tea.

A figure appeared behind him.

"How's it going?" Qi Tai seemed to be aware of it.

A fat man walked up to the light: "Patriarch Qi, the matter has been done, and the list has been handed over to the acting king." ”

"It's just that there is something I don't know, this time the Qi family could have reaped the benefits of the fisherman, why did they set up a situation to harm other families?"

The fat man was the one who entered the Wolf Gang and negotiated with Scarface and passed information to Hu Shidao.

Qi Tai shook his head and said: "Now, the strength of the Ming Dynasty is growing, it is an unchangeable fact, and many of the ideas of this little prince are bold but effective, the emperor did not condemn him, which shows that innovation is the trend of the times, and the old man just doesn't want the Qi family to be like the Fang family." ”

"As for the others, let's take it as a gift to the little prince."

The fat man thought for a moment, then pulled a piece of letterhead from his sleeve.

"After this incident, the Qi patriarch must give up the position of the family to avoid the Qi family becoming the target of the public, and at the same time, the Qi family must also give up the land and these industries, and the prince will allow the Fang family to join the Datong Chamber of Commerce."

The fat man said.

Qi Tai nodded, and there seemed to be unwillingness in his eyes.

……

Zhu Gui soon received the news.

He was still a little surprised that the Qi family could take the initiative to set up a situation and surrender.

He was also worried about whether this was the other party's bitter ploy, so he was ready to bring all the government soldiers with him for this operation, and even prepared two Hongyi cannons.

In this way, even if the Qi family jumps back again, he will have the power to protect himself.

It's been a week since the announcement from the Acting Palace's office was issued.

Officials from the other four four counties presented new household registers.

Due to the demonstration effect of Datong Prefecture, there are more than 300,000 more people in the household registration this time.

These people all want to divide the land, and this gap naturally has to come out of the local gentry.

Many families have sold their property overnight and left Shanxi.

This made Zhu Guidu a little surprised, he originally wanted to achieve an equivalent exchange by buying the other party's land, which made him seem to be robbing.

It seems that it was the Fang family's affairs that made these people a little scared.

However, there were still many squires who took the initiative to come to the palace of the king and expressed their intentions.

Zhu Gui guessed right, they came to take the initiative to donate the land, just hoping to preserve the family.

Zhu Gui did not embarrass them, but exchanged them for silver tickets by using the land as a pledge in the same way as other squires in Datong Mansion.

Of course, they couldn't take this silver ticket, but directly invested it in the Datong Chamber of Commerce.

Although they didn't take a penny, they got the promise of the acting king's mansion, and these people left happily.

But there are still some squires who are still insisting, that is, those families who secretly agreed with the Qi family to kill Zhu Gui.

Soon, Qi Tai, the head of the Qi family, came to the palace of the king of Dai, took the initiative to befriend the king in the name of offering land, and at the same time put forward an invitation to go hunting in Wuzhou Mountain.

A local wealthy family, the king could have refused.

But to everyone's surprise, the little prince actually agreed.

The two sides agreed to go to Wuzhou Mountain together the next morning.

The three parties are in full swing, and only a few people know that tomorrow will usher in a battle that will determine the fate of the entire Shanxi.

That night, Zhu Gui repaired the body armor that had been broken in the test, there was no way, some items in the system store were available in limited quantities, such as this body armor, which is currently only available in two.

The other one was given to Xu Miaoqing, and he could only repair this one.

Fortunately, the system shop also provides materials for repair, but experience points are still required.

Just as he was about to fix it, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Zhu Gui didn't look up to know who was coming.

Xu Miaoqing quietly came behind Zhu Gui.

"I'm going tomorrow too."
