"Yes!"

"For example, the Gu family, the Lu family, the Zhu family, the Zhang family and other famous families."

Midori said naturally.

She didn't realize that Fang Yuan had come to inquire about the news.

After all, every objective question is different, and people like Fang Yuan ask the most about local families.

With so many people asking about the local land snake, who would have realized that Fang Yuan was here to inquire about the news?

"Anything else?"

Fang Yuan frowned and said.

The families that Xiao Lu said are all Jiangnan families.

It's completely different from the five surnames and seven hopes I want.

"Well, it seems that a few families have suddenly become powerful recently, I heard my sisters say that the Gu family, the Lu family, the Zhu family, and the Zhang family all have to give them face."

Midori thought for a moment and said.

She had also heard of this, but she didn't know if it was true or not.

After all, it's a small person, and I haven't been able to contact too many big guys.

"Do you know where they usually move?"

Fang Yuan's eyes lit up and he said calmly.

"It's quite secret in Dongcheng, and you may not see it when you go."

Midori said truthfully.

"Okay, thank you."

After Fang Yuan finished speaking, he prepared to get up and leave.

"Huh? Guest, are you leaving? ”

Xiao Lu was probably surprised, and looked at Fang Yuan innocently.

"No, go to the latrine."

Fang Yuan wanted to leave.

But after thinking about it, I felt that leaving at this time was likely to reveal that I was here to inquire about the news.

And the voices of men and women came from Li Junxian's room next door, and it couldn't end for a while.

"I see, let the slave family help you."

Xiao Lu's face turned red, and he got up and approached Fang Yuan.

She pulled Fang Yuan to the toilet and squatted down obediently.

How can you go?

After the entertainment, Fang Yuan and Li Junxian left the Qinglou tacitly.

Both of them heard some news, and now they will set off to Dongcheng to see if the five surnames and Qiwang are there.

The water towns in the south of the Yangtze River are full, and the two are not in a hurry to set off immediately, but take a boat on the river to swagger and look at the scenery.

It can be said that the rivers of Jiangnan lead to all directions in the southeast, north, and west of Jiangnan City, and it is a city that can go wherever you want after getting on a boat.

After traveling through the rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, Fang Yuan and Li Junxian got off the boat at the location of Dongcheng, walked to the shore, and went to the rich area of Dongcheng.

A family as big as the five surnames and seven wangs, even if they hid, they would definitely choose a rich place to hide, and it would definitely not be in the slums.

"Brother Tai, where is the Cui family?"

Fang Yuan was walking on the street and saw a well-dressed young man, grabbed him and asked.

"The Cui family? Is it the newly moved Choi family? ”

The young man looked Fang Yuan and Li Junxian up and down.

Seeing that the two of them were also gorgeous, they thought that their identities were extraordinary, and they relaxed their vigilance.

"Exactly!"

Fang Yuan said.

"Walk about 50 meters towards this road, and if you see a big alley, you can insert it, and walk another 50 meters or so."

The young man pointed to the alley where Fang Yuan and the others walked.

"Thank you, brother!"

Fang Yuan and Li Junxian looked at each other's directions and said gratefully.

"You're welcome, listen to the accent, you're not locals, are you?"

The young man shook his head and chuckled.

"Yes, I'm from Wuling County."

Fang Yuan said with a smile.

"From Wuling County?"

"I heard that the people who come out of Wuling County are good at doing business."

The young man was suddenly surprised, and looked at Fang Yuan with a little excitement.

Because of Fangyuan's governance, Wuling County has now become a model county in the country.

Many people have heard of Wuling County, and it is also spread that it is amazing, making people think that those who come out of it are powerful people.

"So-so, so-so."

"Brother Tai, we still have something to do, we have a fate to see you again."

Fang Yuan smiled modestly.

Say goodbye to the young man and follow the direction he has shown you.

The young man was very regretful, looking at the backs of Fang Yuan and the others with some reluctance.

When Fang Yuan and Li Junxian inserted themselves into that alley, he followed.

Soon, Fang Yuan and Li Junxian had already arrived at the place designated by the young man.

There is a very luxurious mansion here, and there is only one word on the door of the mansion: Cui!

"Come in?"

Li Junxian looked at the door and said in a deep voice.

The gate was open, guarded by two guards.

When Fang Yuan and the others looked at the gate, the two guards also looked at Fang Yuan and the others.

"Two, please let me know, Fang Yuan is here."

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment, then approached the guard and said.

"Wait a minute."

The two guards looked at Fang Yuan for a while, nodded and said.

People rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and Fang Yuan and Li Junxian are not ordinary people at first glance.

These guards still have eyesight, and if ordinary ordinary people arrive, they will not minus the report.

"Fang Yuan?!"

"It's a familiar name."

The young man hiding in the shadows frowned.

The Cui family is very strong, and the elders of the family warn not to offend them.

The young man had been warned by the elders in the family, so he stayed away from the Cui family.

So when he learned that Fang Yuan and Li Junxian were looking for the Cui family, he was very surprised and followed.

It didn't take long for the guards who had gone to report to reappear.

"Distinguished guests, please come in."

Fang Yuan and Li Jun bowed their heads.

walked indifferently into the door of Cui's house.

It didn't take long for Fang Yuan and Li Junxian to see Cui Runyu, waiting for Fang Yuan and the two of them in the main hall.

"I didn't expect to be able to see the two of you in Jiangnan, the emperor asked you to come, right?"

Cui Runyu sipped the tea, looked at Fang Yuan and the two, and said with a smile.

"Patriarch Cui, don't come unharmed."

Fang Yuan said with a smile.

Feel free to find a seat to sit down.

"I'll be better off if you don't find it."

Cui Runyu laughed.

He raised his glass and offered tea to Fang Yuan and the others.

"I don't want to come to you either, but you've affected my development."

Fang Yuan smiled.

"Your appearance has also affected the development of our family."

"To be precise, it was the emperor who wanted to ride on the head of our family and affected the development of our family."

Cui Runyu snorted coldly and laughed.

Li Shimin thought that he had made a name for himself and wanted to ride on the head of the family.

It is because of this that now the family and the royal family have fallen out, and the world is in turmoil.

The family hasn't really made trouble yet, but just planned the Qingzhou Rebellion.

"No matter who it is, we have to settle the accounts between us."

Fang Yuan shrugged and said.

Whether it's Li Shimin or himself.

No matter who it is, the accounts of the family have to be settled.

"Just the two of you?"

Cui Runyu couldn't help but sneer.

There are only two of them, and they dare to enter their own Cui Mansion?

"It's definitely not just us, it's just a routine notice."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said.

The people he brought with him have also come to Jiangnan.

There should not be many people left in Jiangnan by Cui Runyu and others.

In this way, there will be a hard battle between the two sides.

"Aren't you afraid that I won't let you go?"

Cui Runyu frowned and snorted coldly.

"Will you?"

Fang Yuan asked rhetorically.

He is not interested in Cui Runyu.

But Cui Runyu has the pattern he should have, and he won't do it in this situation.

"Hehe, since the notice is over, then please leave."

Cui Runyu waved his hand indifferently.

Indeed, he would not make a move on the other side at this time.

They have their own pattern with their five surnames and seven hopes, and they are not as despicable and shameless as Li Shimin.

"Farewell!"

Fang Yuan and Li Junxian got up and left.

At the gate of Cui's mansion, Fang Yuan and Li Junxian had only walked for a while, and the young man just now appeared again.

"Fang Yuan, are you the head of the household department Fang Yuan?!"

The young man chased after the two of them and asked excitedly.

He inquired just now and learned that the head of the imperial court was also called Fang Yuan.

It just so happened that Fang Yuan was so young, and he was with the household secretary of the imperial court.

"Yes, is there something wrong with Brother?"

Fang Yuan said.

"Bye, meet Fang Shangshu!"

The young man was very excited and immediately saluted Fang Yuan.

"You're welcome."

Fang Yuan helped him up.

"Fang Shangshu, I'm Gu Wuchang of the Gu family."

"May I ask you to enter the Cui Mansion to settle accounts with them? Is he Bolingtri? ”

Gu Wuchang whispered.

As he spoke, he secretly looked back at Cui Fu.

He suspected that these newly moved families were the legendary five surnames and seven hopes.

Otherwise, the elders of the family would not have warned them not to provoke them.

"Yes."

Fang Yuan's brows furrowed slightly, and he bowed his head.

"Fang Shangshu, don't get me wrong, I've already seen that these families are unhappy."

"Why don't you go back to the family with me, and we persuade the elders in the family to divide their interests equally with the five surnames and seven hopes?"

Gu Wuchang hurriedly explained and said in a deep voice.

He had heard a little about the five surnames and seven hopes.

Unexpectedly, the seven-star banknotes were abolished, and then exchanged for Datang treasure banknotes.

Now, there are many families in their Jiangnan family who are deeply affected by the Seven Star Treasure Banknote.

But because he was afraid of the strength of the five surnames and seven hopes, the lost money could only be swallowed with gritted teeth.

"The Jiangnan family is not satisfied with five surnames and seven hopes?"

Fang Yuan was interested.

If you can unite the Jiangnan family in Jiangnan, it will definitely be much easier to deal with the five surnames and seven hopes.

"I can't be sure of all of them, but as far as I know, many of them are dissatisfied with the five surnames and seven hopes."

"But if Fang Shangshu is willing to offer benefits, presumably these families are willing to cooperate with you."

Gu Wuchang said in a deep voice.

The battle in the world is nothing more than interests.

Whether it is facing the imperial court, or facing the five surnames and seven hopes, they are all concerned about interests.

If the benefits are enough, then what about turning against the five surnames and seven hopes?

"In that case, then you should contact your Jiangnan family first."

"If your Jiangnan family is willing to cooperate with me, you can come to me again."

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and said.

asked him to go to the Jiangnan family to persuade them that he was lazy.

Having them is just a little more likely, but it doesn't necessarily mean that you have to have them.

"Give me two days!"

Gu Wuchang thought about it and said in a deep voice.

Fang Yuan bowed his head, gave him an address to live and left.

"Fang Yuan, aren't you worried that he will lie to us?"

Li Junxian frowned slightly.

Working with a passerby is somewhat reckless.

In case they cooperate with the five surnamed Qiwang, it will be more difficult for themselves and others.

"How could you lie to us when you met so coincidentally on the side of the road."

"Besides, we can't fully trust him."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said.

It was such a coincidence that I met someone from the Gu family on the road.

The Gu family is a big family in Jiangnan, and it is naturally best to cooperate.

If you encounter people who deceive yourself and others, it means that it is not good for you to leave as soon as possible.

But Fang Yuan felt that Gu Wuchang could be trusted, and it was not okay to wait for him for two days, anyway, he would have to lay out for two days.

"Then I'll have people stare at him."

Li Jun said with envy.

In the next two days, Jiangnan changed the sky.

Officials in Jiangnan have been dismissed or suspended for various things.

Especially for the people with real power, the court directly gave them a document in front of them.

This kind of thing happens, even if you are scared, you know that something big has happened in Jiangnan.

And Gu Wuchang is lobbying the families in Jiangnan.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Gu Wuchang led people to the place where Fang Yuan lived.

Seven, the seven families in Jiangnan, all came.

"Meet Fang Shangshu."

Gu Wuchang and the others saluted Fang Yuan.

"Seven families are here, which really surprised me."

"Ladies and gentlemen, can you let me know why you want to cooperate?"

Fang Yuan was a little surprised.

He just wanted to try.

But I never thought that the seven major families would come.

These seven families control all aspects of Jiangnan.

"Jiangnan is our place, what are the five surnames and seven hopes, and they dare to finger it?"

"We don't allow seven more families in Jiangnan, which is a huge blow to us."

"Between the imperial court and the five surnames and seven wangs, we felt that the imperial court would be more powerful, so we chose the imperial court."

The seven patriarchs spoke their minds.

Jiangnan has these families, and the resources are just enough.

Now that the five surnames and seven hopes have arrived, although they have not really grabbed their resources, there is already a trend.

This is not allowed for these families, and they have long wanted to drive out the five surnames and Qiwang.

It just so happened that Gu Wuchang lobbied, and Fang Yuan came in person, so they came and cooperated with Fang Yuan.

"I see."

"I can be regarded as helping you get rid of the five surnames and seven hopes, so I will account for thirty percent of the benefits left by the five surnames and seven hopes, and one percent for each of your seven families, how about it?"

Fang Yuan said.

Hearing their words, Fang Yuan was a lot more relieved.

In the final analysis, it is the benefit, that is, no other family is allowed to enter Jiangnan.

Whether it is the Jiangnan family or other places, it is the same.

They have been running the place for so long, how can they tolerate other families coming in and sharing the pie?

"Sancheng?!"

The representatives of the seven families looked at each other, not very satisfied with this division.

They also contribute, and they may contribute more, with too little to share.

"I'm one percent, Li Junxian one percent, the emperor one percent, do you think it's unreasonable?"

Fang Yuan raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice.

"No, no, reasonable, reasonable."

The patriarchs of the major families echoed one after another.

If it's just Fang Yuan Yicheng, then they have an opinion.

But Fang Yuan, Li Junxian, and the emperor were each one, so they had no opinion.

Whether it is Li Junxian or the emperor, they don't want to offend, they are all on an equal footing with them.

"Since it's okay, let's talk about the course of action."

Fang Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

"My Gu family is responsible for cutting off the back road of the five surnames and seven hopes!"

"My Zhang family is responsible for interfering with the transmission between them!"

"My Zhu family has five hundred people, driven by Fang Shangshu!"

"My Lu family also sent five hundred people, driven by Fang Shangshu!"

Each patriarch put forward their own ideas and supported Fang Yuan in their own way.

Jiangnan is theirs, and with their help, this trip will get twice the result with half the effort.
