Konoha Hypocrite Uchiha Tonan

The governor of Quzhou looked at Tang Ning and asked uncertainly: "No problem...isn't it okay?"

The governor of Quzhou is also a good comrade in the organization, but until now, he is only a governor who has been sent abroad and cannot stay in the capital to enjoy the blessings because he cannot figure out the emperor's thoughts.

Emperor Chen was a pragmatic emperor. His thoughts were simple. It didn't matter whether there were any tax problems in Jiangnan. What mattered was whether he could get money.

He thought that managing Quzhou well would please Emperor Chen, but his idea was still too naive. If Quzhou could collect 1000 million taels of tax money and transport it to the capital, he might be transferred to the capital next year.

It is difficult to talk about this matter openly. Tangning waved her hand and said, "If there is no problem, forget it. Being able to eliminate the rebels is also a great achievement."

The governor of Quzhou nodded and said, "I will invite them to the banquet when I get back."

After Governor Sun left, Tang Ning carefully studied the three, no, four major families in Quzhou.

The three major families, Zhu, Huang, and Dong, have been rooted in Quzhou for at least a hundred years. The family is prosperous and is the well-deserved leader of Quzhou.

The three major families have been in Quzhou for a long time. Over the years, they have not done anything harmful to nature or oppressed the people. They are quite popular among the people and have always cooperated well with the government.

The Xiao family moved to Quzhou more than ten years ago. They started as a business and expanded very quickly. In less than ten years, the business was larger than the three major families of Zhu, Huang and Dong combined.

What is strange is that during the expansion of the Xiao family's business, the three major families also contributed a lot, and even took the initiative to give up their own market to help the Xiao family. This allowed the Xiao family to expand in such a short period of time. Within a short period of time, he became the richest man in Quzhou.

Businessmen pursue profits. Tangning doesn't believe that the three major families are so selfless, benefiting themselves and others at the expense of themselves, and sacrificing themselves to benefit others. Generally speaking, families will not last for hundreds of years...

In addition, the name of the Xiao family is also somewhat meaningful.

Xiao is the surname of the Liang Kingdom, and the King of Guizhou whom Bai Jin is loyal to is naturally also surnamed Xiao. They have stayed in Jiangnan for so long and have done nothing but wait for the Liang Kingdom to return to its own country. Tang Ning will definitely not believe it. .

Liang Guo, Gu Shu, the Xiao family, the three major families who suddenly obeyed... He connected these things together, and one clue became clear.

In order to confirm his guess, it was necessary to meet people from these three major families.

……

I wish home.

The Zhu family is one of the three major families in Quzhou, and the head of the family is naturally aloof and aloof. Even the governor of Quzhou has to give him a bit of a thumbs-down.

But at this moment, the high-ranking head of the Zhu family did not have any majesty as the head of the family. He huddled on the ground in pain, the veins on his forehead popped out, and big beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, looking extremely painful.

He grabbed his own neck and hissed: "Kill me, kill me quickly!"

A man stood beside him, turned around and said hurriedly: "Medicine, get the medicine quickly!"

The head of the Zhu family stood up staggeringly and said sternly: "Kill me!"

"Brother!" The man grabbed his shoulders and shouted loudly: "If you die, what will happen to the Zhu family?"

The head of the Zhu family had a ferocious look on his face, and he suddenly broke away from his hand, rushed to the side, and pulled out a long knife from the waist of a Zhu family guard. The guard's expression changed, and he was about to stop him, but he kicked him away. The head of the family took out the long sword and placed it across his neck.

The man looked at him and said in fear: "Stop him quickly!"

Several guards had reacted long ago, swarmed up, snatched the long knife from his hand, and pinned him to the ground.

"Here comes the medicine!"

A servant of the Zhu family ran in from outside, holding a porcelain bottle in his hand. The man snatched the porcelain bottle, opened it, poured out a brown pill, pinched the head of the Zhu family's mouth, and forced him to eat it.

After a while, the head of the Zhu family finally settled down, and the two guards immediately helped him up and sat on a chair.

The head of the Zhu family leaned back on the chair, as if he had exhausted all his strength. The man hurriedly picked up the tea cup and gave him a few sips of tea.

The head of the Zhu family felt his chest rise and fall for a moment before asking in a hoarse voice: "How many pills are left?"

"There is one more." The man said, "Brother, don't worry, they will send it to you soon. Brother, you can't give up. Even if you commit suicide, they will find another person in the Zhu family..."

"Then let's fight them to the death!" The head of the Zhu family stood up on his chair, and his voice suddenly became sharp: "If the Zhu family continues like this, even if we are not destroyed in their hands, the court will not let us go. Quzhou is the Zhu family’s Quzhou, even if I die, they won’t be able to live!”

He coughed twice and said: "What they want to do is to rebel. The Zhu family can no longer be held hostage by them..."

The man looked hesitant and said: "However, if the Zhu family wants to fight them, they will suffer heavy losses. Even if they defeat the Xiao family in Quzhou, when the people from Runzhou come to find us, we will still be dead... "

The head of the Zhu family looked at him and said, "The Zhu family is not the only one in Quzhou..."

As soon as he finished speaking, another servant of the Zhu family came in from the door, handed over an invitation, and said carefully: "Master, this is from the governor's office."

The man next to the head of the Zhu family took the invitation, opened it, and said in surprise: "Okay, what kind of banquet will Governor Sun host?"

The head of the Zhu family looked at him and asked, "When, where, and who else was invited?"

"It's tonight. In Tianxiang Tower, in addition to us, we also invited the Huang family and the Dong family." The man looked at him and asked, "I don't know what kind of medicine Sun's gourd sells. Brother, we want do not go?"

"Prince Sun..." The head of the Zhu family thought for a moment and said, "Go."

……

Tianxiang Restaurant is the highest-standard restaurant in Quzhou. Tonight, the governor is hosting a banquet in the building for the heads of the three major families. Tianxiang Restaurant has cleared out early and is waiting for the arrival of the most powerful guests in Quzhou.

When the head of the Zhu family arrived, there were already two people in Room No. [-] of Tianzi.

One person looked up at him and said, "Brother Zhu is late tonight."

The head of the Zhu family looked at him and asked, "Isn't Governor Sun here yet?"

The man shook his head and said: "There is still a quarter of an hour before the agreed time, and Governor Sun will probably arrive later."

The head of the Zhu family found a place to sit down and did not speak again. The atmosphere in the room gradually became quiet.

After an unknown amount of time, the head of the Zhu family raised his head again, broke the calm, looked at the two of them, and asked: "Are you going to watch the Huang family and the Dong family being wiped out by the imperial court?"

One person looked at him and said: "The Huang family will be annihilated by the imperial court in the future. Over the years, don't you understand that if you didn't follow them, the three major families would have been destroyed long ago?"

"That's because the imperial court doesn't know their intentions yet." The head of the Zhu family said: "Once the imperial court knows that someone wants to rebel in Jiangnan, will it still remain indifferent?"

The head of the Huang family looked at him and said: "Those movements were indeed caused by you on purpose and disturbed their affairs. Aren't you afraid that they will make you unable to live or die?"

A cold look appeared on the face of the head of the Zhu family, and he said: "Then let's make a bet and see who dies first..."

He looked at the other two people and asked, "Do you dare to bet?"

"What are you betting on?" Governor Sun walked in from the outside, looked at the three of them, and said with a smile: "It seems that the three of you are very interested tonight. What do the three family heads want to bet on? Can you bring me along?"

Tang Ning looked at the others with a smile and asked, "Can you add me as well?"

The three of them looked at him at the same time, then at Governor Sun, and asked, "Who is this..."

Governor Sun looked at Tang Ning and introduced them one by one from left to right: "Master Tang, this is the head of the Zhu family, this is the head of the Huang family, this is the head of the Dong family..."

After saying that, he looked at a few people and introduced: "Let me introduce you to the three of you. This is Mr. Tang from the capital..."

Tang Ning looked at the three of them and said, "Tang Ning, the Tang of Tang poetry, the restless Ning of chickens and dogs."
