Hearing this, Song Ziyu laughed and said: "Why not! Someone is here..."
Several Longshan soldiers approached and saluted Song Ziyu: "What are the orders from the city lord?"
"Did you hear what I just said? I'll tear this old guy's mouth apart and give him a good beating."
Song Ziyu ordered calmly.
The soldiers rolled up their sleeves and walked towards the old housekeeper.
"What are you going to do? Master Shouzhong will not let you go... ugh!"
The old housekeeper's mouth was torn to pieces before he even finished speaking.
Screams echoed throughout the mourning hall.
"Drag the person out for me and beat him. Don't dirty the place." Song Ziyu ordered.
So the old housekeeper, whose mouth was torn apart, was thrown out directly.
"Brother of the Song family, there is someone behind this guy,????????????????You let him go like this, aren't you afraid of letting the tiger go back to the mountain?"
Ding Letu reminded.
Song Ziyu laughed when he heard this and said: "Sister-in-law, you are really looking down on him. At most, he is just a dog, an old dog without teeth. What kind of tiger is he?"
"It's better not to be careless. Gongsun Shouzhong is not someone to be trifled with."
Ding Letu said.
Song Ziyu said calmly: "Sister-in-law, you don't need to grow up and let your ambition destroy your prestige."
Ding Letu felt a little calmer in her heart, and then asked: "Brother of the Song family, there is no one around now, what do you want to tell me?"
Song Ziyu said: "Sister-in-law, since there are no outsiders here, in front of Brother Cong Yun, I want to ask you, how do you plan to go next?"
"What do you mean by this?" Ding Letu asked.
Song Ziyu said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you know better than me. Brother Cong Yun is no longer here, but Tianshui Town is still there. As far as I know, there are more than one or two people who are eyeing the title of Wasteland Warden. As the saying goes, a man is innocent and cherishes a treasure. The fault seems to be that your situation is not good, so it’s better to make plans in advance.”
"I...I don't know." Ding Letu sighed and said, "You have also seen the situation. We orphans and widowed mothers have been bullied like this, what else can we plan!"
Song Ziyu said: "Then do you still want to keep Brother Cong Yun's legacy?"
"Of course I want to..." Ding Ru said: "But my ability is limited."
Song Ziyu said straight to the point: "In that case, then I will make a deal with you!"
"What deal?"
Ding Letu asked cautiously.
"I am willing to help my nephew secure his position as the Wasteland Warlord and inherit the foundation of Sweetwater Town. What do you think?"
Song Ziyu said.
When Ding Ruo heard this, she couldn't believe her ears. This feeling was like flying from hell to heaven in an instant. Originally, her situation was completely different, but now someone promised herself that she could keep everything she had.
"So... what's the price? What's the price?" Ding Ru is not a fool and doesn't believe that Song Ziyu would be so kind.
As the saying goes, a weasel pays New Year's greetings to a rooster, but he is always considerate and diligent, and is either a traitor or a thief.
Song Ziyu said: "Don't worry, I'm not interested in the things you own. Besides, these things will no longer be yours... The reason why I help you is entirely because Tianshui Town is located on our Longshan trade route, which is extremely important." Important hub! Gongsun Congyun and I had an agreement to cooperate. He would ensure the smoothness of my trade routes in the wasteland, and I would Give him a share of the profits. Now brother Cong Yun is dead, but this business will continue, so what I need is the stability of the wasteland."
"So you chose me?" Ding Letu asked, "Just because I'm easy to control?"
"Yes!" Song Ziyu said bluntly: "I value that you orphans and widowed mothers are easy to talk to, and of course I also want to leave Gongsun Congyun a heir."
"Why should I trust you?"
Ding Letu was silent for a few breaths, and then asked.
"You can only believe me!" Song Ziyu said lightly, with a very firm tone.
"Why?"
Ding Letu couldn't help but ask.
There is no doubt that Ding Ru is a little disgusted with Song Ziyu's very confident attitude.
But Song Ziyu's words made Ding Ruo have to accept the reality.
Song Ziyu said: "Sister-in-law, you are a smart person. You have to know that except for me, the first thing anyone else has to do after getting the foundation of Tianshui Town is to eradicate the roots! They can't let Brother Cong Yun's Descendants will have a chance to take revenge when they grow up, after all, this is your family's tradition."
After hearing this, Ding Letu was completely convinced.
That's right!
The internal purge of the Gongsun family was far more terrifying than imagined, otherwise there would not have been so many family members who were exiled, suppressed, and died inexplicably.

Besides, Ding Letu didn't believe that other people in the Gongsun family would let their children grow up safely.
After figuring this out, Ding Ruo started to worry about it.
"Do you really have no conditions?" Ding Letu asked.
Song Ziyu said: "Of course there are conditions!" "Let's talk about it."
Song Ziyu said: "First of all, I will keep my nephew's position as governor, and then I will appoint an agent to ensure my interests in Tianshui Town. She will continue to govern on my behalf until my nephew grows up. This agent I will Just choose Gongsun Wan'er, after all, everyone knows her."
"Wan'er? Can she do it?"
Ding Letu asked.
"You have to do it even if it doesn't work!" Song Ziyu said: "She is the best choice, I can't trust anyone else."
Ding Letu said: "I agree to your terms, but only if you solve the trouble in front of you!"
"Don't worry, there won't be any trouble. I'll handle the rest. You just need to cooperate with me!"
Song Ziyu said.
"No problem, I will fully cooperate with you."
Ding Letu agreed.
…
The next day, Song Ziyu issued an order with great fanfare in the name of Gongsun Jian, the successor of the Gongsun family, asking the Gongsun family to come to attend the burial ceremony of Gongsun Congyun.
As the saying goes, the dead are buried in peace.
Gongsun Congyun's coffin has been resting for seven days, and today is the day of burial.
Song Ziyu asked people to pass on a message to the descendants of the Gongsun family. If the descendants of the person are not seen during the burial today, it will prove that he has second thoughts about the main family.
For this kind of guy who has different intentions, hey, I'm sorry, Song Ziyu will directly expel these people from Tianshui Town in the name of Gongsun Jian.
After the news was delivered, many descendants of the Gongsun family came to attend the funeral out of fear.
For everyone who came to attend the funeral, Song Ziyu asked Ding Ruo to take someone to make a register in person and enter the list... As soon as the funeral was over, Song Ziyu directly ordered his Longshan soldiers to start cleaning up the house! All the collateral descendants who were not on the list were kicked out.
This is a way to establish authority!
Of course Song Ziyu cannot be merciful!
With the implementation of the policy, more than a dozen side branches that dared to challenge the authority of the Zong family were uprooted by Song Ziyu.
Such ruthless tactics undoubtedly aroused dissatisfaction among many other members of the Gongsun family. They all joined forces and prepared to cause trouble together to bring down the Zong family.
At this time, Gongsun Congyun's widow and her family seemed to be sitting in the crater of the volcano, and there were still people fanning the flames below the volcano. It was really a critical moment.
But Gongsun Shouzhong and Gongsun Xiuyun, who were hiding behind the scenes, tacitly chose to remain silent. The whole Tianshui Town smelled like a storm was coming.
