In addition to the Du family in Taiyi County, the next four richest families are the Jia Shi Wang Xue family, followed by Feng Chen, Chu Wei, Jiang Chen, Han Yang and other families.
Xu Xian and Chen Changxing found some people in Taiyi City to understand the situation.
According to everyone's analysis, the most likely ones to take action are the Xue family and the Wei family. These two families are notorious and have the largest number of private soldiers. They usually do things well and never suffer losses.
Three years ago, the Xue family and the Feng family had an affair because of a trivial matter. The Feng family wanted to make the big matter a trivial matter, but when the trivial matter turned into a trivial matter, the Xue family led people to directly attack the Feng family.
If the Feng, Shen, and Yang families were not close to each other, had good personal relationships, and were related by marriage, and the Shen and Yang families took action when the Feng family was in danger, the Feng family might have been exterminated.
The Xue family suffered the least loss in a one-on-three situation. Afterwards, the three families did not dare to pursue the case. The three families avoided the Xue family when they encountered it.
As for the Wei family, they once had a fight with the Du family, and the fight was evenly matched. Both sides suffered injuries, and it ended in nothing.
Because the Wei family has no successors, its development is not as good as that of the Du family, and its strength cannot be underestimated.
The other companies are much more low-key. They just guard their own one-third of an acre of land and rarely have conflicts with the outside world. They are just wealthy locals.
Of course, all this is only on the surface, and everyone knows that in these troubled times, if you don’t have your own power, it is quite difficult to gain a foothold in Taiyi County. You may be eaten by others at any time, even the scum. Nothing left.
Therefore, those who are low-key actually have their own power.
Now that we have a general understanding of the situation in Taiyi City, these two families are of course the focus. Based on the transfer of personnel from each family, it is determined which families are taking action.
Since detaining the heads of each family, Chenjiagou has sent dozens of people to monitor each family and report to the county government at any time if any abnormality occurs.
The past few days were relatively normal, with only Xue and Wei having frequent personnel coming and going.
According to another investigation method, there are also abnormalities in the number of people coming in and out of the Shen family. In the past few days, more than fifty people have gone out, but less than twenty have come back.
In other words, more than thirty people from the Shen family may be lying in ambush, ready to attack the county government at any time.
Except for these three, the others are temporarily normal.
Until the day when the ransom was paid, after the Yang family's team that deposited the ransom left, a group of people quietly left, broke into pieces, and disappeared into Taiyi City.
In other words, the Yang family is also suspicious.
There are a total of twelve companies in Taiyi City, and maybe four of them are planning to take action, and not many people are needed.
Without the cooperation of the people lurking in the city, there were less than two hundred people in total, Xu Xian was very confident that they could be easily eliminated.
For the sake of caution, look at this matter in another way. This is actually very dangerous. The number of people hidden in the city is difficult to estimate.
Xu Xian, Chen Changxing and others came to Taiyi City for the first time. They were not familiar with Taiyi City and did not understand the specific industrial distribution of the major families in the city. The personnel in Chenjiagou were limited and it was impossible to conduct comprehensive monitoring of the entire Taiyi City.
The day before the ransom was paid, Chen Changxing said worriedly:
"The situation is not good for us. If thousands of people suddenly flocked to the county government, I would not be surprised. With the strength of several companies, it is not difficult to mobilize thousands of people.
The other companies seem to be keeping a low profile, but it is inevitable that they are making big moves secretly.
We are outsiders and they are local cowards. We will monitor and they will counter-monitor.
Maybe what we see is just what they want us to see. The real enemy is lurking in places we can't see, ready to give us a fatal blow at any time. "
Xu Xian smiled and said:
"Teacher, you are overly worried. As far as I know, Fang Baihua's people have entered Taiyi City, and the industries of major families have been infiltrated by Fang Baihua's people.
Major families frequently mobilize their staff to deal with business troubles.
It should be said that it was to deal with the trouble caused by Fang Baihua. "
Hearing this, Chen Changxing was overjoyed and asked:
"Where are Fang Baihua's people?
They have contacted you. If they help, we won't have to worry about several major families. "
Fang Baihua has thousands of people under his command, all of them are elites in the rebel army. If Fang Baihua is willing to take action, he can defeat Taiyi County. A few big families in the area can really not make any waves.
Xu Xian said:
“Their people contacted me and said they would create trouble for the major families, leaving them too busy to take care of themselves.
However, they don't plan to take action for the time being, unless I can't cope and ask them for help.
There is a price for letting them take action. After they take action, Taiyi City will be theirs, and we can only rely on them.
I want to control Taiyi City myself and let Taiyi City be transformed according to my ideas, and I don’t plan to ask them for help for the time being. "
Chen Changxing was originally worried about the good and bad fortune of the more than 300 people in Chenjiagou, but after hearing what Xu Xian said, his brows relaxed.
With Fang Baihua as a big backer, there is a way out. No matter how powerful the major families are, they are just clowns in front of Fang Baihua's rebel army and are not worth mentioning.
Chen Changxing said:
"You can talk to the rebels at any time, right? You want them to be ready tomorrow, so that if our people can't handle it, let them take action in time."
Xu Xian said:
"Teacher, don't worry. Everything has been arranged a long time ago. The rebels are lurking in the dark. If the major families really want to take action, they will only bring humiliation to themselves."
With Xu Xian's words, Chen Changxing felt relieved and said:
"I also went out to do some deception to get to know the surrounding environment. If a fight really breaks out, it will be easier to mobilize manpower."
Chen Changxing remembered that Xu Xian often left the county office these days and wandered around, saying he was inspecting the environment.
Chen Changxing suspected that Xu Xian contacted Fang Baihua's rebels during this process.
If Chen Changxing goes out for a walk, he might also have the opportunity to meet the rebels, contact him and build a relationship, which will give him a little more protection.
Walking on the street, whether he saw shopkeepers, waiters, or peddlers, Chen Changxing felt that they were like rebels, and he looked for opportunities to go over and chat for a while.
To Chen Changxing's disappointment, those people did not identify themselves as rebels and behaved normally.
"It's really like the acting. I know that many of you are played by rebels, but you just don't want to confess before it's time to reveal your identity."
Chen Changxing secretly thought that he had just come to Taiyi City and was not familiar with the people near the county government. He didn't know that those people were real ordinary people and were not acting.
In fact, Xu Xian has not contacted Fang Baihua's people. As for whether Fang Baihua's people have sneaked into Taiyi City, Xu Xian really doesn't know.
Xu Xian saw that Chen Changxing was worrying about gains and losses and had lost his fighting spirit, so he made up a story to give him some confidence.
To be honest, Xu Xian was a little worried that the major families would kill him.
At this point, Xu Xian had no choice but to press forward. If even he flinched and the people in Chenjiagou lost their fighting spirit, they would really lose.
Only when he tells everyone that he is sure of victory and has endless options, the people in Chenjiagou will have full confidence and move forward to fight for the chance of victory.
As for what the major families are doing, Xu Xian really doesn't know, he just hopes it's not to deal with him.
