Li Qiufeng hid outside the house, and just after hearing that the plan had been decided, he originally thought that these people would act separately. Unexpectedly, Zhang Baixing criticized Huang Chong again, and directly accused Huang Chong of looking down on Cai Xiao. Li Qiufeng thought to himself, whether this matter is true or not, Zhang Baixing said it. After all, Cai Xiao is a wealthy gentleman, even if his ancestor used to be a domestic slave of the Huang Chong family, with his current status, he will definitely not be able to swallow this breath. At present, under the provocation of Ji Dingzhong and Zhang Baixing, these people are all targeting Huang Chong. If they turn their faces and make a move, I'm afraid that Huang Chong will be very bad.

He was thinking about it, but he heard Cai Xiao say slowly: "Lord Huang, a hundred and ten years ago, the ancestor of my Cai family was hunted down by the enemy and was on the verge of despair, so he had to throw himself into the door of the Huang family, so that he could get out of the big trouble. This kind of kindness, the descendants of the Cai family have never forgotten. In the past hundred years, generations of descendants of the Cai family have been loyal to the Huang family, as long as the Huang family greets them, the descendants of my Cai family have never said a word, and they have always been the first to serve the Huang family. Not to mention far away, let's just say that a few months ago, in the battle of encircling and annihilating the Xu family, fourteen men in a room in Shandong of my Cai family went out, and after killing more than 20 people from the Xu family, only one person survived, but he also broke his arms and became a waste. And sixty years ago, the Cai family was ordered by the ancestors of the Nie family, sneaked into Shanxi, worked hard, started from a small silk village, created the family business of Biyunwu, and finally became a wealthy gentleman. But after all, the ancestor of our Cai family also swore in the Qianyin Cave of Fengmen Village back then, even if he became a big man in Shanxi, he has always been respectful and polite to the five families of Nie, Lu, Zhao, Du, and Hua. Especially to the Huang family, he is obedient to everything, and will send thousands of taels of silver every year to deal with the Xu family. But Lord Huang, my Cai family is so loyal, for your own selfish interests, you want to get rid of all of us, so as to whitewash your background, and since then you have been in the officialdom left and right, and your career is developed, it is inevitable that you are a little too ruthless. ”

After Cai Xiao finished speaking, no one spoke in the room for a long time. In the end, Huang Chong said in a deep voice: "You finally said what is in your heart today, and we don't have to have any scruples." Mr. Cai, more than 100 years ago, the ancestors of my Huang family rescued more than ten ancestors of the Cai family from the knife of the enemy. In order to save people, my Huang family lost four lives. However, this matter was done by the ancestors of my Huang family out of chivalry, even if there were casualties, but they couldn't complain about others. And when my ancestors saved people, they didn't want your Cai family to repay their kindness. At that time, it was the ancestors of the Cai family who swore that they would be cattle and horses to repay the Huang family for saving their lives, and it was the ancestors of the Huang family who agreed to accept the Cai family under the Huang family. Mr. Cai, am I not wrong?"

Cai Xiao was silent, unable to refute what Huang Chong said. After a while, I heard Huang Chong continue: "The Cai family came under my Huang family, and the ancestor took the leader of the Cai family to Qianyin Cave in Fengmen Village, and under the auspices of the Nie family, he accepted the Cai family as a servant of the Nie, Lu, Zhao, Du, and Hua families. At that time, the ancestors of the Huang family understood that the Cai family was so enthusiastic to return to the Huang family, in addition to the heart of repaying the favor, but also because the ancestor of the Cai family was originally a senior official in the imperial court, but he only offended the Mongolian nobles in the party struggle and was framed, so he escaped from the capital. Although the world is big, there is no place to stand, so he has to throw himself into the Huang family in order to seek refuge. It's just that the ancestors of the Cai family didn't know that although my Huang family was quite powerful, they were actually driven by the Nie family. When it was time for the Qianyin Cave to make an oath, the ancestor of the Cai family found that the Nie family was the leader of the five families, thinking that he had voted for the wrong master, and regretted it in his heart. Since then, although the Cai family has been included in the Huang family, they have always been fond of the Nie family and do everything. Mr. Cai said that he would take out thousands of taels of silver every year for us to use against the Xu family. This matter is true, but what you said is also vague, and when you hear it, you still think that your Cai family gave this silver to the Huang family. In fact, since your Cai family obeyed the orders of the Nie family and went to Shanxi, after the development of Biyunwu, you will indeed send silver to Henan every year. It's just that our Huang family has only heard the number of thousands of taels of silver, but we have never seen them. Because this silver was not given to our Huang family at all, but to the Nie family. Just four months ago, Mr. Cai also sent 5,000 taels of silver tickets and handed them over to Master Zhang. Mr. Cai, Master Zhang, am I right?"

Cai Xiao didn't speak, but Zhang Baixing snorted and sneered: "The silver given by Lao Cai is used to deal with the Xu family, and I will accept it and distribute it again, is there anything wrong?"

Huang Chongdao: "I didn't say anything wrong, but I was worried that Commander Hu, Governor Han and others would misunderstand, thinking that our Huang family would swallow up the thousands of taels of silver sent by the Cai family every year." Although my Huang family is not as rich as the Nie, Lu, and Zhao families, they will not forget their courtesy, righteousness and shame for thousands of taels of silver. ”

Huang Chong's voice fell, but he heard Zhang Baixing say angrily: "What do you mean by this? Do you want to say that the silver was swallowed by me?!"

Huang Chong sneered: "I didn't say this. Since the Cai family, who gave the silver, didn't ask where the money went, how dare I, an outsider, inquire without permission?"

But I heard Ji Dingzhong say: "Lao Huang, what you said is not right." Our five families, Nie, Lu, Zhao, Du, and Hua, have always been friends of life and death who live and die together, advance and retreat together, prosper and prosper, and lose both. How can you claim to be an 'outsider'?"

Huang Chong smiled and said, "What's the point of talking about these high-sounding scenes now? Hundreds of years ago, the ancestors of our five families were just small people in remote and deserted villages, who were ruthless and harmed people's lives, and only then did they become prosperous. It's just that for hundreds of years, there have been continuous disasters of blood and light, and most of the descendants have died, which is the retribution for the evil done by the ancestors of the five families back then......"

Huang Chong hadn't finished speaking, but he heard Ji Dingzhong say angrily: "Enough! Old Huang, I see that you are drunk today, talking nonsense here and accusing your ancestors." What you said was drunk, so we didn't hear it. It's getting late now, so let's go back and rest. Tomorrow morning, we will split up according to the plan we have agreed upon. ”

Li Qiufeng heard the sound of tables and chairs in the house, and knew that everyone was about to go out. Although he was not afraid of these people, he did not want to disturb the people. With his right foot, his body rose into the air and landed lightly on the eaves. He had just crouched in the corner of the cornice, but he heard the door of the house below him, and then someone walked into the courtyard.

At this time, it was midnight, the front yard of the county government was brightly lit, and there were people carrying lanterns in the alleys before and after and around from time to time. Only this backyard is silent, and only two small gas lanterns are hung at the door of the back house. Through the dim light, Li Qiufeng saw that the first to walk into the courtyard were Shi Nianhao, the head of the Shi Family Knife, and Yang Ziqiao, the head of the Lei Fist Gate. Then came out was Cai Xiao, the owner of Biyun Dock. When the three of them arrived in the courtyard, they disappeared in the darkness, and they walked towards the front yard when they heard the sound of footsteps.

Not long after the three disappeared into the darkness, three more people came out, but it was Han Qusi, Ji Dingzhong, and Zhang Baixing, the prefect of Luoyang. When Han Qusi walked into the courtyard, he whispered a few words to Ji Ding. Then Zhang Baixing also came over, and the three of them whispered a few words, and then left together.

Li Qiufeng secretly thought in his heart, these people are all gone, why is Hu Kun still in the house? This person suspects that Huang Chong killed Hu Yiyue, and the two have a disagreement, why did Ji Ding and others leave, but Hu and Huang didn't leave?

He thought about it again and again, and doubts rose in his heart. It's just that he knows that Ji Ding and the others are extremely cunning, and although they have left, they have to guard against these people from killing a horse gun. Although he was bold, he didn't dare to eavesdrop under the window. Just as he was anxious, he heard footsteps, and someone came out of the house.

Li Qiufeng held his breath and listened intently. I heard only two people walking out of the house, but when they reached the stone steps in front of the house, they stopped. After a while, I only heard Huang Chong say: "Hu Shi's nephew was killed, and the younger brother is deeply ashamed. ”

A few months ago, when the Xu family was destroyed, I knew that several of our families had also reached the moment of seeing the poor dagger, but I didn't expect them to be so anxious that they would start so quickly. The brothers of the Nie family are watching from the side, I am offended by what I say, and I hope that the elder brother will not be surprised. ”
