Hongyang and Xu You looked at Xiao Hei with longing on their faces-

If Xiong Wuliang refuses to meet him......

He can't be such a dog, right?

Although there have always been rumors on the rivers and lakes that the Marquis of Quyang of our Chu State is often not a son of man...... But my Xu family and Hong family are also loyal and want to serve the prince...... I have shed blood for the prince! I have made meritorious contributions to the monarch! I want to see the prince!

"The Lord let you in." Xiao Hei bowed lightly at the two patriarchs.

The two patriarchs glanced at each other, as if they were amnesty!

……

The discord between Xiong Wuliang and the old nobles is no secret - the courtiers under the former who voted to support the reform of the law have clearly explained the political tendencies of Quyang Marquis-

Centralize power and change the law in the state of Chu!

According to the judgment of Hongyang and Xu You, Xiong Wuliang wants to fight with Qu Jingzhao and other old nobles, and the success rate is indeed not high, it is estimated that it is only about forty percent.

After all, the old aristocracy is deeply entrenched.

Fortunately, Sima Coo's smashing and robbery has greatly weakened the strength of the old clans, and Xiong Wuliang's subordinates are indeed good at fighting, and it can be said that it is the last army that the Chu State can handle.

If it weren't for that, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have a 10% chance of winning!

However, for the two patriarchs - forty percent, it is enough.

Enough to put them on an adventure!

As dilapidated aristocrats, the Xu family and the Hong family no longer have any land estates, and the titles handed down by their ancestors are not high, so the 'change' that makes the old nobles talk about it is insignificant for a small family like them.

Anyway, there's nothing left to lose.

And although the probability of Xiong Wuliang winning the battle is only forty percent - once the Marquis of Quyang can win, then as the first nobleman to rely on the Marquis of Quyang...... The Hsu and Hong clans will definitely get a reward far beyond their imagination!

The adventure is worth it.

doesn't ask for much - even if the Marquis of Quyang only rewards the position of any county official in Dachu, it can be regarded as a new life for the Xu family and the Hong family.

But!

The various performances of Quyang Hou's class after returning to Yingdu really made the hearts of the Xu family and the Hong family fall to the bottom!

The old aristocrats began to revel.

Hui and Hong were terrified.

Even within the Xu and Hong clans, there are many clansmen who are angrily scolding Xu You and Hongyang, thinking that the choice made by the two will definitely harm the whole clan...... To be honest, after seeing Xiong Wuliang's performance when he returned to Yingdu, Xu You and Hongyang's hearts were actually a little out of order.

……

Xiong Wuliang poured tea for Xu You and Hongyang with a smile, and the two patriarchs were flattered and hurriedly thanked them.

Then, the two sat on their knees, and their buttocks only dared to touch their heels slightly, respectfully.

Xiong Wuliang didn't bother to go around in circles, and laughed softly: "When Huainan was in the disaster, the two of them made great contributions. ”

"Why are you visiting today?"

Xu You's nose twitched, and he was almost about to cry!

Quyang Hou is a good person!

He didn't forget us!

"Prince! Boom...... Call the shots for us! Xu You snorted and cried.

Then, Xu You began to cry......

Only then did Xiong Wuliang know that it turned out that the revenge of the Jing clan and the Zhao clan against them had already begun.

First, the shops of the Xu family and the Hong family were burned and smashed by unknown people, Xu You was angry, but there was nothing he could do.

went to the official office in charge of Wangcheng's public security, 'Si Kou', to report the case, but everyone was related to the Zhao Jing family, first hung Xu You for three days, and in the end, the 'Si Kou Ling' relented and let Xu You in, but Xu You's complaint was not accepted.

Even the guy sneered and threw down a sentence: "Why does Xu Jun want to be close and seek far evil?" ”

"Wouldn't it be beautiful to ask Qu Yang Hou to ask Qu Yang Hou to arrest the thief?"

As he spoke, he squeezed his nose mockingly: "You said that some bandits smashed your shop, but I don't think it may be - maybe you smuggled iron weapons with foreign countries and were punished by the righteous men!" ”

"What crime should I be guilty of smuggling iron?!"

In this way, Xu You could only come back in a breathless manner, and he was seriously ill and almost couldn't get up.

And that's not all—the Si Kou Ling then issued an order to seal all of Xu's shops, on the grounds that he suspected that Xu's was smuggling strategic materials abroad, and that he wanted to thoroughly investigate them......

During the few months that Xiong Wuliang went on his expedition to the Yue Kingdom, there were dozens of people up and down the Xu family, and they could hardly afford to eat.

Even the unscrupulous Qu Yanghou can't listen to it anymore - it's really too bullying!

After Xu You finished speaking, it was Hongyang's turn to complain-

Like the Xu clan, the shops and caravans of the Hong clan were also banned, and some of the children of the clan were not satisfied and intended to resist, but they were arrested and imprisoned by the Si Kou order.

After some time, a few of the Hong's children who were covered in bruises were stripped of their clothes and thrown on the street.

When Hongyang said this, his eyes were also red: "Although my Hong's family is in decline, I am also a nobleman...... Can Ann be so humiliated? ”

"As for the rest of the Hong's children, they haven't been released yet...... The Hong clan went bankrupt to rescue them, but they couldn't even see Si Kouling's face. ”

"It took a lot of effort to get through the joints, and in the end I just heard from a certain jailer that my unsuccessful juniors were tortured in prison and tortured into ......"

"After the autumn, I have to ask for the beheading!"

Seeing that Xu You and Hongyang, the two old patriarchs who can add up to a hundred years old, crying with pear blossoms and rain, Xiong Wuliang couldn't help but support his forehead.

It's also a dignified nobleman.

The family was smashed and robbed, and he actually had to go to the government to report the case.

It's really too wretched!

Also.

If they were a big clan like Qu Jingzhao, it would be impossible for them to be loyal to themselves.

But as the saying goes, it's up to the owner to beat a dog!

The Xu family and the Hong family were blatantly cleaned up like this, who would dare to work for them in the future? Who would dare to work for themselves?

That Si Kou Ling bullied people like this, in fact, it was also a temptation of the Zhao Jing Clan...... Look at how tough Xiong Wuliang really is.

Let's test it - where is the bottom line of my Xiong Wuliang when facing the united old aristocrats.

Good, good, good.

Let's play it this way!

Xiong Wuliang's face became gloomy, and he said coldly to Xiao Hei: "Go and ask Ling Yin to come over." ”

Xiao Hei made a promise - he knew that there were still Qing Yu Wei and Black Feather Wei to protect the lord in secret, so he was not worried about Xiong Wuliang's safety, glanced at Hongyang and Xu You, and turned around and walked out.

A moment later, Qu Yuan hurried over.

Before the latter could see the salute, Xiong Wuliang asked with a gloomy face: "Qu Zi, do you know the origin of Yingdu Si Kou Ling?" ”

"What grade is this Yingdu Sikou Ling in the official position system of the Chu State?"

Qu Yuan was momentarily stunned, and after seeing the two patriarchs with pear blossoms and rain, he thought of what the Jing clan and the Zhao clan had done in these days, and immediately understood what Xiong Wuliang meant...... Saying that, Xiong Wuliang was still very deterrent after accumulating five layers of blood anger, and Qu Yuan didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and immediately responded respectfully-
