Chapter 180: Overestimating Their Bottom Line
A day in the capital can be regarded as a stormy one.
And on the side of Jiangdong Road, Xiao Chen still did not slow down the raid.
However, this time he did not personally supervise, but asked his cronies to lead the Xuanjia guard to raid the house.
In the afternoon of the same day.
Xiao Chen was closing his eyes to recuperate, and Concubine Shu was helping him rub his shoulders,
"Hard, hard!"
Xiao Chen waved his hand and said.
"Got it!"
With softness in her eyes, Concubine Shu pressed hard.
At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded at the door, and the sound of an announcement was heard.
"Lord Overseer! Subordinates have something to report! ”
When Xiao Chen heard that it was Xiang Yichun, his heart moved slightly, and he opened his eyes again and said, "Come in!" ”
Xiang Yichun's face was a little serious at this time, and after kneeling down on one knee, he hurriedly reported: "Lord Overseer, yesterday and this afternoon, we raided the three major families!" ”
"They are the Zhao family, the Sun family, and the Gu family!"
"What the hell is going on?"
Xiao Chen naturally didn't think that Xiang Yichun only came to report the news because of this, he thought about it for a while, and also remembered the previous search for Dongying's token from the Wang family: "Is it related to Dongying?" ”
Xiang Yichun nodded deeply, raised his eyes, looked at Xiao Chen and said, "The Zhao family, the Sun family, and the Gu family, the three major families all secretly hide some letters!" And a large part of these letters were written in Dongying script mixed with Dachu script! ”
"In addition, there are some specialties from Dongying!"
"For example, for example, there are no less than three Dongying knives you have seen before!"
There was coldness in Xiao Chen's eyes: "Are you sure?" ”
Among the industries in which the Wang family participates, it is the maritime business, and it is understandable that the Wang family and the Dongying people have a bit of a New Year.
After all, merchants on the sea have to encounter Dongying bandits from time to time.
It is also possible to fight them and capture their swords.
However, the three families of the Zhao family, the Sun family and the Gu family are all related to Dongying...... That's not normal!
Could it be that all three of their families are trading overseas?
Xiang Yichun's expression was very determined, and he said almost without thinking: "That's the case!" I can confirm! ”
"Moreover, I was there during the raid, and I saw Xuanjiawei search for Dongying's tokens and related letters with my own eyes!"
Xiao Chen had a coldness in his eyes: "Okay! The major families in Jiangdong are really big dogs! ”
"It actually has a connection with Dongying!"
Xiao Chen was not wrong.
Nor is it entirely based on stereotypes from past lives......
In this life, the overseas island country far away from Dachu, Dongying, is also very inappropriate!
Raiding the people of the coastal areas, that's a regular occurrence!
And they are cruel and tyrannical, crazy than ordinary bandits and thieves!
However, Xiao Chen can't make a conclusion, he also has to find out first.
After calming down for a while, he set his eyes on Xiang Yichun: "Xiang Yichun, I have something to explain to you!" ”
Xiang Yichun said in a deep voice: "My subordinates are willing to die for the Overseer!" ”
Xiao Chen squinted his eyes and ordered: "Investigate this matter carefully, and be sure to find out whether Jiangdong and the major families have colluded with Dongying!" If there is collusion, it is necessary to find out whether it is a normal business or something else! ”
"Yes! Subordinates are going to check! ”
Xiang Yichun left quickly.
Two hours later.
Xiao Chen saw Xiang Yichun again.
Xiang Yichun's face became very ugly, and his eyes were burning with anger: "Lord Overseer, we have already found out here!" ”
Xiao Chen looked at Xiang Yichun's face and almost guessed the situation: "Don't worry, let's talk slowly, what's going on?" ”
Xiang Yichun took several deep breaths, and his voice trembled: "The major families of Jiangdong Dao are indeed cooperating with that Dongying Kou!" ”
"But what they have done is the wrath of heaven and the wrath of the people!"
"They colluded with each other, several great families reported the news, or directly disguised themselves as pirates, and plundered passing merchant ships with the Dongying Bandits, and even poisoned the people in the coastal areas!"
Xiao Chen was stunned.
He also thought that the most important families were doing smuggling was to do things......
As a result, he really overestimated the bottom line of the major families!
Xiao Chen was furious, almost shooting: "How can they have a face!" ”
Xiang Yichun gritted his teeth and said: "It's nothing more than a profit that makes you faint, and besides, the Wang family is not involved on the surface, in fact, those seas have suffered, and most of them are also the news that the Wang family has passed on behind their backs!" ”
The Wang family is two or five boys, and they are really good!
Xiao Chen sneered: "Every tong they earn is the suffering and blood of the people!" ”
Xiang Yichun asked tentatively, "Then what should we do?" ”
Xiao Chen's voice was full of murderous intent:
"Copy my house, copy it hard!"
"Don't leave any bricks and stones on the ground for them!"
Under Xiao Chen's order, several major families suffered.
Even if you have copied it once, you have to copy it again.
The house where they lived was seized, and even the clothes they were wearing were confiscated, and a few sackcloth were thrown to them.
At the same time, Xiao Chen also put the scope of the raid on the entire Jiangdong family with names and surnames.
Especially those who have collusion with the Japanese Kou, they are even more ruthless!
It's night.
During the day, Xiao Chen's copying of the house was in full swing, but the Jiangdong family was bitter.
In particular, there was news from the capital, saying that there was no way to do anything to Xiao Chen for the time being.
Several great families are even more worried.
In the end, the three major families except the Zhou family and the Wang family, the Sun family, the Zhao family, and the Fang family, convened all the families in Jiangdong for secret night talks.
Somewhere in another courtyard.
This courtyard is actually a place for the Sun family's children to raise an outer room.
Maybe it's because there is a fierce wife in the family, and the person hid it too well, so he wasn't seized......
This has also become a secret night talk place for major families.
After a short exchange, the situation was confirmed.
Sun Tiande, the head of the Sun family, gritted his teeth and said: "The imperial court refuses to recall Xiao Chen, and Lord Jiang does not return for a long time, if we don't do anything again, it will be tantamount to digging our own grave!" ”
"We have to find a way to get rid of Xiao Chen!"
Fang Minghao, the head of the Fang family, said coldly: "No matter what the price is, you have to get rid of the gelding!" ”
The heads of the other major families are also echoing:
"That's right!"
"You must kill him!"
"If we don't kill him, we're finished!"
"This son must not be kept!"
“……”
There was a lot of talking.
Sun Tiande stretched out his hand again and pressed it down: "Okay, it's useless to shout!" We can only hope for Dongying's side now! ”
Everyone's eyes lit up and they all nodded.
Sun Tiande sneered: "We are uniting to deliver news to Dongying, saying that Xiao Chen knows the situation and will attack them......"
"Let them send people and horses directly into the city, and we should join forces inside and outside, and go straight to the courtyard where Xiao Chen is located!"
"When the black light is blind, Xuanjia Wei can't help, and he can be killed by employing people!"
"As for responsibility...... Just push it all to Dongying! ”
