Zhang Guangdao fainted, and the housekeeper was so frightened that he hurriedly called for help.
After a long time, Zhang Guangdao finally woke up.
Zhang Guangdao's face was bloodless and his eyes were dim. He no longer had the energy and vitality of old age, and no longer had the complacency of doing something big.
He was already lying on the bed, feeling uncomfortable all over and unable to muster any strength.
Zhang Guangdao looked at the group of people standing in the room, looked at his children and grandchildren, and asked: "I have been dismissed from office, and various families are targeting us. Now that the Zhang family is in trouble, what can you do?"
As the patriarch of a large family, Zhang Guangdao has many heirs. Even though his son died, he still had other sons.
It just doesn't work.
The oldest grandson, Zhang Minghan, is also incompetent. He only knows how to walk dogs and fight cocks, and has no talent at all.
As a result, Zhang Guangdao collapsed, and everyone in the room only choked and cried, panicking, but no one could come up with a solution.
When Zhang Guangdao saw that everyone was silent, he became even more irritated and said angrily: "Crying, why are you crying? I'm not dead yet, why are you mourning? Get out of here, get out of here, it's annoying to watch."
Everyone turned around and left.
"well……"
Zhang Guangdao sighed.
At this moment, Zhang Guangdao really regretted it.
Everyone in the Zhang family is stuck in the mud and can't hold up the wall, so why should he struggle? In fact, I am still blinded by power. Because he became the prefect of Wu County, his heart became wild. Because Zhang Yingxue became Zhao Shan's woman, she had more greed.
Yu Song was a junior, someone who was looked down upon by all the families. He was unconvinced when he saw Yu Song serving as the governor of Yangzhou, and felt unbalanced, so he took the initiative to operate it, but he did not expect to involve all the family members.
But regret is no longer useful.
The current problem no longer comes from the emperor. The emperor only dismissed him from his official position, and now all the families have united to deal with the Zhang family, trying to extract benefits from the Zhang family.
This is the most troublesome.
After Zhang Guangdao thought about it, he decided that the key lies in Yu Yong. He fell, Yu Yong was the leader, and Yu Song was the governor of Yangzhou. As long as Yu Yong stood up and expressed his stance, the families would not dare to make any more mistakes.
This is the only chance.
Zhang Guangdao thought about this and arranged: "Prepare the carriage, I will go to the Yu family to visit."
The butler went to prepare.
Zhang Guangdao changed his clothes and dragged his frail body to Yu's house. He stopped at the door of Yu's house and came to visit in person. The concierge spread the news to Yu Yong's ears, but Yu Yong was as stone-hearted and did not relax at all.
Only now did Zhang Guangdao think of apologizing.
late!
Once Yu Song was overthrown, the Yu family lost its most outstanding person.
Yu Yong thinks that he is not very capable and is a man of integrity. It is enough to protect the family. Yu Song is the future of the Yu family.
Yu Yong determines the lower limit of the Yu family, and Yu Song determines the upper limit of the Yu family.
Furthermore, after Yu Song fell, it also had an impact on Yu Qinghuan.
Under such considerations, Yu Yong had no good impression of Zhang Guangdao's actions, and was even less willing to accept Zhang Guangdao's apology.
Yu Yong ordered the concierge to step back, but there was no reply. The concierge left without replying to Zhang Guangdao, causing Zhang Guangdao to wait outside the Yu family.
After waiting for nearly a quarter of an hour, there was no news. Zhang Guangdao was rejected and immediately understood Yu Yong's attitude.
Yu Yong is determined to deal with the Zhang family.
Zhang Guangdao became angry, pointed at the door of Yu's house, and yelled: "Yu Yong, you ungrateful villain."
"I think back then, the Yu family also declined. For the survival of the Yu family, you also asked me for help from the Zhang family. If you don't see me, what are you worried about? Don't I know?"
"You, Yu Yong, added insult to injury and targeted my Zhang family. You also caused internal strife in the Yangzhou family and contributed to the division of the various families in Yangzhou. All of this was caused by you."
"Yu Yong, you will definitely regret your decision today. You, Yu Yong, are the eternal sinner of the Yangzhou clan."
It was still quiet inside the gate.
No one paid any attention.
Zhang Guangdao's body trembled slightly and he continued to curse: "Yu Yong, do you think that by overthrowing the Zhang family and taking down me, Zhang Guangdao, you can attack my granddaughter? You are totally wrong. Yu Yong, you are a loser. You are a conscientious person who has no morals and righteousness and specializes in adding insult to injury. You gave birth to a son without a butthole..."
Wow! !
There was a crashing sound.
Water poured out from the courtyard wall next to the gate and fell on Zhang Guangdao's head.
Zhang Guangdao suddenly became a drowned rat.
"Hey, what does it smell like?"
Zhang Guangdao was wet all over. He took a few sniffs with his nose and suddenly smelled the smell of urine, which made him even more angry. When he was about to curse, he suddenly heard the sound of water splashing again and hurriedly avoided it.
Fortunately, Zhang Guangdao was fast and avoided it this time.
He was so angry that his body was shaking, but there was nothing he could do to the Yu family. He could only curse a few words, then became nervous again, returned to the carriage and left.
Zhang Guangdao went home angrily, washed himself carefully, and then visited the Bai family, Zhou family, Wu family, Fan family and other families.
Without exception, they were all rejected.
No one wanted to meet Zhang Guangdao.
Zhang Guangdao, who was rejected, dragged his tired body back to Zhang's house and sat in his study, feeling more depressed and desperate than ever before.
People from all the families didn't see him, and it was clear that they wanted to devour the Zhang family.
It's just adding insult to injury.
Zhang Guangdao deeply regretted it at this moment. He lost the whole game with just one move. He made a wrong move and the Zhang family fell into the abyss without even a chance to get up.
what to do?
How should he solve it?
Without being able to see his granddaughter, the family has no way to ask for help. It seems that they can only watch the family decline.
Zhang Guangdao gritted his teeth with hatred.
In a desperate situation, he turned his helplessness and despair into anger towards the wealthy people of Yangzhou. He devoted his whole life to the rejuvenation of his family and the prosperity of the Yangzhou clan.
Unexpectedly, I fell into trouble on this matter.
"You can't blame me, Zhang Guangdao, for being cruel when you push my Zhang family to a dead end. At worst, I'll flip the table."
Zhang Guangdao murmured through gritted teeth.
He asked someone to take a piece of ginseng and hold it in his mouth. After the medicine took effect and his energy recovered, Zhang Guangdao took out the evidence collected by the Zhang family over the years.
It involves the Zhang family and various families.
For example, the Bai family once sent people to collude with the Japanese to massacre the merchants' families in order to rob the big businessmen from other places. The Bai family took over the merchants' money and shops.
For example, in the past, the Zhou family, in order to annex the land in the hands of the people, arranged for people to pretend to be thieves to rob the place and steal the people's money and food, forcing the people to borrow money from the Zhou family and become people controlled by the Zhou family.
All families are unclean.
That is because the Yu family has such an out-of-touch person like Yu Song. Although Yu Yong does not agree with Yu Song's views, he still makes corrections according to some of Yu Song's suggestions.
Generally speaking, Yu Yong's family is relatively clean.
Zhang Guangdao counted all the evidence recorded in the letters one by one, gritted his teeth and said: "You all forced me to die. If you want to die, we will die together."
After saying that, Zhang Guangdao left the Zhang family in a carriage and headed towards Prince Wu's Mansion.
Zhang Guangdao came outside the mansion, looked at the soldiers standing guard, and said loudly: "Old Zhang Guangdao, I have super important news to report to His Majesty, which is related to the overall situation of Yangzhou."
The soldier told Zhang Guangdao to wait, then turned around and went to report.
The news reached Zhao Shan's ears.
Zhao Shan was thinking in his mind.
Zhao Shan also knows about Zhang Guangdao's current situation. Because Zhang Guangdao plotted against Yu Song, he was dismissed by Zhao Shan and used as a trigger to trigger changes in the overall situation in Yangzhou.
Zhao Shan knew that Zhang Guangdao arranged for people to meet Zhang Yingxue but was rejected. He also knew that Zhang Guangdao was refused access to the Yangzhou family when he visited him. He also knew that the Yangzhou family was drawing a clear line with the Zhang family and was further adding insult to injury.
Zhang Guangdao has no way out.
Zhao Shan was somewhat looking forward to whether Zhang Guangdao could reveal something good when he was desperate, and ordered: "Bring Zhang Guangdao in."
The soldier went to inform.
Not long after, Zhang Guangdao walked in with his back bent.
This time, Zhang Guangdao was not at all high-spirited or vigorous, and overall he was in a state of sluggishness.
Zhang Guangdao lifted up his robe, knelt on the ground, and said, "Zhang Guangdao, a common man, pays homage to Your Majesty."
Zhao Shan said calmly: "What can you do?"
Zhang Guangdao took out a pile of letters from his sleeve, held it in his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the common people have exposed the Bai family, Zhou family, Fan family, Xue family and other families in Yangzhou for trampling on national laws, killing innocent people indiscriminately, colluding with Japanese people, and fornicating wives and daughters. Bribing officials, etc., please show your Majesty's warning."
