The next day, if you ask the people of Ye County in Laizhou, Jingdong, who is the most powerful in the city, no one will probably say it is the Zhizhou Prefecture, but the three families of Ye, Guo and Ge who have settled here for hundreds of years. Not only are these three families rich in wealth and well-established, they also occupy almost half of the land in Laizhou. They also have direct access to Bianjing. There are more than a hundred people in the family branch, and many of them are still serving in government offices in various places. Therefore, even in Laizhou Zhizhou didn't dare to offend. If Zengtou City was suddenly rich and the Xu family was from a Qingliu family, then these three families were truly wealthy families. Since the beginning of Shenzong, Laizhou had been basically controlled by them.

There was once a magistrate who tried to break the three blockades and develop Laizhou, but the final result was that he was removed from his official position.

As the saying goes, the Ye family's cloth, the Guo family's grain, and the Ge family's gambling are particularly prosperous. More than 60% of Laizhou's trade goes through these three families, and all three families even have their own guards. Among them, the children of the Ye family are the commander of the Laizhou army and horses. ! !

Therefore, not only the people of the three families were proud, but also the servants, servants and guard maids below felt superior. However, because of this, the land annexation in Laizhou became particularly serious, causing a large number of people to be impoverished and precarious.

However, today in the inner hall of the Ge family compound, which is the most domineering, a smiling and elegant black-clothed scribe came here with several guards. He held a tea cup with a leisurely expression and took a few sips. , nodded and praised: "Good tea!!"

Hearing this, no one in the Ge family present was happy, but all looked serious.

At this time, on the main seat, a middle-aged man with a strong figure, wearing rich clothes, with a thick beard and a majestic look looked at the jade pendant in his hand and said with a hint of anger: "I don't know. What is your name??"

"I am Qin Hui, currently serving as the military advisor of Shili Mountain Gate!"

The scribe is none other than Qin Hui, the treacherous prime minister of the ages who was finally forced to go to Liangshan by Xiao Rang. Now he is the military advisor of the Laizhou branch appointed by Song Jiang, but his power is greater than that of Chen Dong who was just appointed because he has full authority to deal with it. Qualifications for all affairs in Laizhou.

And his mission is to completely build the two states of Leiden into the most stable foundation of Liangshan to ensure Liangshan's way to the sea.

"Shilishan" Ge Xiong's face changed slightly, and he immediately regained his composure, "I don't know how much money it will take before you are willing to let my son back??"

Qin Hui smiled and said, "Mr. Ge may have misunderstood. Mr. Ling is living a good life in the village now. I am not here to blackmail you."

"It's not blackmail. Do you still want to discuss business with my master?" Next to Ge Xiong, a burly man with one eye and a sword said coldly.

"Let's just say it's business! It depends on what Mr. Ge thinks." After hearing this, Qin Hui said with a smile.

Hearing this, Ge Xiong said seriously: "You seem to have forgotten that I, Ge Xiong, do not only have that bastard son."

Qin Hui raised his lips and said, "Master Ge has three sons and one daughter. This is very clear to me. However, Ge Ying is exactly what you value most, Master Ge. Although he is arrogant, he is indeed his legitimate son. If Master Ge doesn't feel sorry for him, my wife will probably not be able to bear it." Bar!!"

"What do you want??" the one-eyed man next to him immediately said while holding his sword.

Seeing this scene, a long-haired man holding a knife stood up behind Qin Hui with an indifferent expression, "You should be Zuo Mujian Feng Yi! I advise you not to interrupt, otherwise you won't survive tomorrow!!" "

After looking at it, Ge Xiong waved Feng Yi to retreat, and said with a solemn expression: "I have also heard a little about Guizhai. It is said that it now houses a large number of evil people, with six or seven thousand men and horses. It is very powerful. Some time ago, it was still We defeated the government’s siege, but my Ge family seems to have never offended me! The governor asked my Ge family to provide money to help, but my Ge family also refused!!"

"No offense to Mr. Ge, but he wants to leave his homeland with his family," Qin Hui suddenly said.

Ge Xiong's expression changed, and he immediately glanced at Feng Yi, who was also surprised. This was a secret of the Ge family, and it had been leaked. It seemed that they had been targeted for a long time.

"Not only the Ge family, but the Ye family and the Guo family also want to leave Laizhou and go to Daming Mansion with their families. It seems they are worried about the current situation??"

Upon hearing this, Ge Xiong looked at Qin Hui and threatened: "Although our Ge family is not a powerful family, we are not easy to bully. Don't go too far, sir."

"Haha, Mr. Ge is serious. If the three of you fully support the government's suppression of bandits, I would probably be hard-pressed even in Shili Mountain. But if Mr. Ge is worried about us and plans to leave, then it's best not to leave Laizhou. Life or death is uncertain!!”

"Oh??" Ge Xiong didn't believe it.

"Mr. Ge, in this Laizhou territory, I still have some prestige, so you also know that the brothers in the mountains have never offended the business of the three of you. But if you leave Laizhou, I can say with certainty that no matter you leave, Whichever way you go, your family will be destroyed!!" Qin Hui said seriously.

"What do you mean by this?"

"I am dissatisfied with Mr. Ge, but I actually belong to Liangshan!!"

"Liangshan" Ge Xiong was shocked.

"Now there are branches of Liangshan in the entire Jingdong, and all the bandits wanted by the state capital are all from Liangshan!!" Qin Hui said seriously,

"What?" Ge Xiong's pupils shrank.

Qin Hui smiled, "So once the Ge family leaves Laizhou, the other commanders of our Liangshan branch will not be as easy to talk to as me. Even if you summon a thousand guards and pass the first level, you will not be able to pass the second level. "

After Ge Xiong was silent for a while, his eyes were sharp and he said: "What does Liangshan want to do? Rebellion?"

"The emperor is fatuous, treacherous ministers are in power, and the people are in dire straits. It is time to change the world. Not only Liangshan, but heroes from all over the country are also making preparations. The sun is setting on the Song Dynasty. I just said that I am not here to blackmail, but to extort. I want to give you three families in Yexian County a chance, a chance to truly prosper!!"

"Opportunity??" Ge Xiong was stunned.

"My brother Song Gongming once said many times that the most important thing in the world is that a wealthy family is the richest in the world. A wealthy family gets rich first. Half of the talents in the world come from a wealthy family!!"

Ge Xiong raised his eyebrows, with a bit of surprise on his face.

"As long as the three families are willing to submit to me, Liangshan, you will monopolize all the business in Laizhou in the future. No matter where your goods pass, no one will dare to rob them. The descendants of your three families can directly take up official positions in Laizhou and Dengzhou!!"

When Ge Xiong heard this, he suddenly felt a little funny, "Your Majesty's words seem a bit arrogant. In addition, even if there is no Liangshan, doesn't my Ge family control Laizhou?"

"Haha, Mr. Ge, if it's like what you said, then why did you leave your homeland that has been here for a hundred years?? You were worried that you had gone too far and that you would not be able to escape, so you took away the members of the main family first and let the separate families Someone will manage it," Qin Hui asked rhetorically.

Ge Xiong's face changed, and after a slight silence, he said: "There is no free lunch in the world, so I wonder what we need to pay for Liangshan?"

"It's very simple. I, Liangshan, only have one condition??"

"Please say??"

"I, Liangshan, want half of the land owned by your three families!!"

"What?" Ge Xiong's face darkened, and he immediately stood up and said, "This is impossible!!"

"Haha, don't worry, Master Ge. I'm not giving you free money. We can buy it with money."

"That's not okay. These lands have been accumulated by our ancestors from generation to generation. I will never give up the family business for a fool in my generation!!"

"Mr. Ge, you have to understand that it is because my brother values ​​​​the wealthy family as the foundation of the world, so he made such a decision. But if no one takes the good intentions, then there is no choice but to start a war. To be honest with Master Ge, my brother is against Leiden and the two states. We attach great importance to it. In addition to our Shilishan branch, there are five branches surrounding us, blocking all roads, with more than 20,000 troops," Qin Hui said coldly.

Ge Xiong's expression changed, "Are you threatening me??"

After hearing this, Feng Yi immediately drew his sword, and many Ge family guards around him immediately rushed out, and the scene became tense instantly.
