Qingshuiyuan, Zhou family.
The Zhou family can be regarded as a famous family in Jiangdong Road. Although it is not the most powerful among the five major families, its reputation is extraordinary.
Just because there was a prime minister Zhou Tianfu.
With someone in the family serving as prime minister, the Zhou family's development momentum will naturally be extremely rapid, and it even vaguely seems to surpass the Wang family.
But no matter what happens, the five aristocratic families have been married to each other for a long time, and they are intertwined. They can be said to be connected by the same spirit. When encountering critical situations, they will definitely inform each other.
This time Xiao Chen attacked major aristocratic families, and the Zhou family also received a letter from Wang Yunhai, the head of the Wang family.
The head of the Zhou family, Zhou Zonghe, looked at the secret letter in his hand, his face uncertain:
"What a great Xiao Chen!"
After a long time, he tore up the secret message in his hand and threw it into the charcoal furnace nearby.
Tongues of fire rose up and devoured the shredded paper.
The young man next to Zhou Zonghe couldn't help but ask: "Father, what should we do? Should we separate part of the clan and transfer the family property?"
"Xiao Chen's castrated dog is probably targeting us!"
Zhou Zonghe's eyes were extremely cold, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Even if we try every means to hide our family property, we may not end well!"
"The only way to survive is to fight to the end!"
Zhou Zong and his eldest son Zhou Qingfang sighed and said, "But father, the Wang family, the Ji family, and the Hu family were all raided by that castrated dog Xiao Chen! If we don't do anything, sooner or later we will follow in their footsteps!"
"Who says a father can do nothing?"
Zhou Zonghe sneered: "Pass my order to Shu Shu Jiang Rongfeng and ask him to rush back to Jiangdong to take charge of the overall situation!"
"Master Jiang..."
Zhou Qingfang's eyes lit up, and he nodded quickly: "I'll be there right away!"
Why did Xiao Chen go south to investigate corruption?
Jiang Rongfeng's butt is not very clean, Xiao Chen's knife will cut him sooner or later!
As the highest official of Jiangdong Road, he is also quite energetic.
When he returns to Jiangdong, and then unites with several major families and other forces... it is not impossible to kill Xiao Chen!
Half a day later, in a mansion opposite a certain prefecture under Jiangdong Road.
Jiang Rongfeng was looking at the papers on the table.
A subordinate called softly from the door: "Master Jiang!"
"Come in."
Jiang Rongfeng's tone became a little impatient: "What happened?"
The person who walked in was his confidant and one of his aides, named Qian Jilai.
With a bit of nervousness on his face, Qian Jilai quickly came to Jiang Rongfeng and saluted, "Sir Jiang, Jiangdong Road is expedited for 800 miles!"
"Xiao Chen, the governor of the East Factory, has confiscated the homes of the Ji family, the Hu family, and the Wang family. It is suspected that he has a next plan to target the entire Jiangdong family!"
"What?"
Jiang Rongfeng's expression changed, and there was a chill in his voice: "Is that castrated dog crazy?"
"The letter also explained the general situation. It is said that it was caused by the exposure of the anti-rape conference."
Qian Jilai's eyes were solemn: "The head of the Zhou family hopes that you can quickly return to Jiangdong to take charge of the overall situation. Should we end the affairs here as soon as possible and make arrangements in advance?"
"That's not necessary."
Jiang Rongfeng's eyes flickered, and he suddenly shook his head: "Postpone the original date of returning to Jiangdong for another three days."
Although Qian Jilai didn't particularly understand, he didn't ask any more questions, nodded and went down to make arrangements.
Jiang Rongfeng was not in the mood to look at the documents on the table anymore, but fell into thinking.
The reason why he postponed his return date was because he hoped that Xiao Chen could destroy the Zhou family in these days.
Zhou Tianfu was born in the Zhou family, and his development momentum was extremely rapid, which even vaguely affected the mutual checks and balances between the five major families of Jiangdong Road, which caused his own jurisdiction over Jiangdong Road to be harmful.
In addition, the Zhou family relied on Zhou Tianfu as prime minister, and acted unscrupulously on weekdays, and were arrogant and rude to him, the Jiangdong Taoist.
If he goes back in a few days, the Zhou family will definitely be severely weakened. If he goes back to clean up the mess, he will not only gain a good reputation, but also be able to better control Jiangdong Road.
His delay almost made the major families in Jiangdong Road panic to death.
The major families in Jiangdong Road also gathered at Mingyue Tower to discuss again how to deal with Xiao Chen.
The visitors are the five major families and several other major aristocratic families.
Among them, the faces of the heads of the Hu family, Ji family, and Wang family, whose homes were confiscated by Xiao Chen, were not to mention how gloomy they were.
As soon as he came over, although he didn't burst into tears, his face was as heavy as water and he was extremely angry.
The head of the Zhou family told Jiang Rongfeng about his work on the book, and then said:
"This is what Mr. Jiang said. He can't get away at all, and there is nothing he can do. Come back as soon as possible!"
"So on our side, we can only save ourselves!"
Wang Yunhai, the head of the Wang family, sneered: "Save yourself? How can we save ourselves?"
"Thousands of Xuanjia guards are all listening to that castrated dog's orders!"
"All the horses in our hands combined are not enough to kill him!"
"Master Jiang hasn't come back for a long time. I think we might as well choose a tomb in advance and die together!"
What Wang Yunhai said was indeed unpleasant, but it was indeed true.
If they don't take action against Xiao Chen, all the major families in Jiangdong will be in trouble.
The head of the Hu family also looked very ugly. He thought for a moment and then said:
"We only have one solution now!"
Everyone quickly turned their attention to the head of the Hu family.
Zhou Zonghe stroked his beard and asked: "Master Hu, please speak clearly!"
"Where did that gelded dog come from? It was just given to him by the imperial court!"
The head of the Hu family's eyes flashed coldly: "Then we will start from the root cause and write to the court to accuse him of his crimes!"
"Besides, it's not like none of our great families are serving as officials in the court. If we unite to impeach that castrated dog, there's definitely a lot to be done!"
Hearing this, the eyes of the people from the surrounding aristocratic families shone with light.
That makes sense!
It's not like these big families didn't train their descendants to serve as officials in the government.
Especially the Qingshuiyuan Zhou family had a prime minister named Zhou Tianfu.
Everyone immediately focused their attention on Zhou Zonghe:
"Master Zhou! It's your turn to take action!"
"That's right, Master Zhou, you definitely need to take charge of this matter!"
"..."
Zhou Zonghe naturally knew what everyone meant, and his face seemed to light up. He held his beard and said, "Of course my Zhou family needs to take the lead in this matter!"
"Of course, in order to make this matter more visible to all the adults in the court!"
“We need to write a joint letter to enhance its credibility!”
"In order to prevent Xiao Chen from continuing to attack major aristocratic families, I suggest that we write this joint letter immediately and send it to the capital as quickly as possible. Even if Xiao Chen is not allowed to die, he must be allowed to leave Jiangdong Road! No more involvement in related matters Business!"
Faced with a life-and-death crisis, the major families were united and immediately drafted a joint letter. After confirming it was correct, they sent it to the capital as quickly as possible...
