These days, business in Xuancheng has almost collapsed, shops have closed one after another, and it is difficult to make ends meet.

The biggest reason was that the major families that had promised to cooperate with Zhuang Ming, under the unification of the Song family, all betrayed their trust and joined forces to attack, destroying the stable situation left by Zhuang Ming.

The Qian family is also one of them.

Both Bai Lao and Shuang Ling hated several families in Xuancheng.

"Mr. Thirteen."

The head of the Qian family is already middle-aged, has a long beard, and has bright eyes, but he looks very respectful in front of Zhuang Ming.

A few years ago, when this young man entered Xuancheng for the first time, he found out many things, took advantage of his shortcomings, forced him to bow his head, and worked together.

After that time, he cleared up the problems that had fallen into Zhuang Ming's hands.

But now Zhuang Ming has gotten his hands on something even more terrifying.

That is the handle that can destroy the Qian family from now on.

"Master Qian can still call me sir, but he still takes me seriously."

Zhuang Ming sat in a wheelchair with a smile on his face and said: "In the past few days, the three families in Xuancheng suddenly took action, which caught all my men off guard. Not only did the business collapse, but the manpower was also damaged. The head of the Qian family is really

What a decisive method, come to think of it...if I hadn't cut off your business and sent someone to bring you a few words, I'm afraid you wouldn't be here to beg me today."

The head of the Qian family lowered his head while busy, looking a little ugly, but deep in his eyes, there was a hint of fear. He had experienced how powerful this young man was, extremely resourceful, and ruthless.

In the villa, Zhuang Ming looked indifferent, Qian Yang and Yin Ming were expressionless, but Shuang Ling, Bai Lao and others had angry looks in their eyes.

The head of the Qian family betrayed his own son, resulting in serious losses, many businesses were cut off, and all the people he hired were killed or injured. He was already the enemy of the Zhuang Mansion.

However, Zhuang Ming just laughed and said: "You know my methods and have some experience with it. Although the old head of the Song family in Xuancheng is an old fox, he is old and has a weak heart. He is not as good as he was in his prime. He has also been

I've settled it, but I didn't expect that this rookie of the Song family would be so clever in his skills that you could join forces with the Song family and dare to fight back against me?"

The face of the head of the Qian family changed again and again, and he said solemnly: "Mr. Thirteen..."

Zhuang Ming raised his hand slightly and said with a smile: "Want to negotiate the price with me? Master Qian, you are a smart man. Since you are here today, it proves that I got your lifeline right. Are you still qualified to negotiate the price in front of me?"

The head of the Qian family looked gloomy and said in a low voice: "The young man from the Song family, named Song Tianyuan, I heard that more than ten years ago, he went out to study. Later, he became an apprentice overseas and learned strategies and was versatile in both civil and military affairs. He was already a year ago.

He came back, but he never returned to Xuancheng. Instead, he worshiped in the palace of a big shot in the capital and became a counselor behind the scenes. He was highly regarded... Not long ago, he stabilized the situation in the capital and returned to Xuancheng.

city."

Zhuang Ming frowned slightly and said: "After the Xuancheng Incident, I checked his background. He returned from overseas, and in the capital, he helped the current seventh prince, made plans, and stirred up troubles. Within a year, the capital was in turmoil.

, almost made the Seventh Prince's style surpass that of the Prince of the East Palace, and his actions were indeed powerful. But I have been planning the Xuancheng matter for a long time, and his plan to defeat me will not happen overnight. "

The head of the Qian family hurriedly said: "He didn't defeat your plan when he first arrived in Xuancheng. He had already started planning for Xuancheng about half a year ago when he was still in the capital, and he wanted to recover a fortune for his Song family.

tone."

Zhuang Ming nodded slightly and said: "No wonder my layout collapsed in two days. It turned out to be half a year ago. This is really a powerful character. The layout half a year ago did not touch my Zhuang Mansion's business. I don't know what's behind it.

There is such an opponent... Haha, no wonder you had the guts to betray me when you met him."

The head of the Qian family bowed his head and sighed: "If we don't join forces with him, he will make the Qian family unable to hold their head high. Moreover, this person's strategy is extremely high, almost no less than Mr. Thirteen. And..."

"And how?" Zhuang Ming asked.

"His behavior is too cruel," said the head of the Qian family.

"Hahaha."

Zhuang Ming chuckled and said, "So, it's because I'm not ruthless enough that Master Qian dares to betray his trust so easily and fight back against me?"

He was smiling, but the atmosphere in the venue instantly turned cold.

The head of the Qian family lowered his head and said, "In order to save the Qian family, I had no choice but to do this."

Zhuang Ming said slowly: "In order to save my business, Mr. Zhuang will have to be more ruthless in his next move, which is understandable. I hope you understand."

The head of the Qian family's expression changed, but he did not dare to say anything.

Zhuang Ming patted the armrest and said in a deep tone: "Since Zhuang started doing business, he has never suffered such a loss. This is the first time... Zhuang cannot let go of this matter in Xuancheng. The Song family

There must be a price to pay, but this Song Tianyuan should not be underestimated, I need a bait."

"Mr. Thirteen, do you want to use me as bait?" The head of the Qian family looked up and looked slightly pale.

"Exactly."

"But……"

"There is no but. If you don't want your family to be confiscated and exterminated, you can only agree." Zhuang Ming said coldly: "The Qian family can be said to be a big family, but your business has a shady background. In this land, I can only rely on the personal and material evidence I have.

, using the laws of the Dongsheng Dynasty can make you bankrupt overnight, or even confiscate your family and exterminate your family... The head of the Qian family must know that whether you will destroy your family and your family is just a matter of my thoughts. Now, I will be open to the public.

We don’t need your entire Qian family to be destroyed, I just need you to be a bait, you have no choice!”

The head of the Qian family paused and said, "That's it?"

Zhuang Ming nodded seriously and said, "That's all."

The head of the Qian family suddenly laughed bitterly and said: "With Mr. Thirteen's style of conduct, betrayal is not tolerated. If Qian doesn't hand over his life, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it either."

Zhuang Ming suddenly smiled, but couldn't help coughing twice. His pale face was slightly rosy and he said, "I said I don't want to kill you. Do you believe it?"

The head of the Qian family shook his head and said, "I don't believe it."

Zhuang Ming neither admitted nor denied, looking calm.

The head of the Qian family bowed and said: "Qian understands, but everyone in the Qian family is innocent after all."

Zhuang Ming said: "They are not innocent. The people of the Qian family acted on your orders to cut off my financial path. However, you, the head of the family, made a decisive decision and benefited a lot from me. They also enjoyed the consequences of your decision.

The wealth and treatment that comes with it. According to the laws of the Dongsheng Dynasty, there is a rule that serious crimes will harm the three clans. In the past, I thought it was a bit cruel to be so implicated, but today I see that everyone in the Qian family is subject to the decision of you, the head of the family.

Benefits, and enjoy wealth..."

After finishing speaking, Zhuang Ming said coldly: "Actually, the implicated behavior is not unreasonable."

The head of the Qian family changed his face suddenly. He wanted to say something, but his face turned pale.

Zhuang Ming then changed the topic and said slowly: "You are a smart man, I will not bully you, as long as you obey my wishes, the Qian family can survive afterwards, but you must also understand the prerequisite for the Qian family's immortality What is it... You also know the way Zhuang behaves."

The head of the Qian family said in a low voice: "After the matter is completed, Qian will express his full support to the Zhuang Mansion in the family and attach himself to the Zhuang Mansion. After that, no one knows about other things, including my wife and children."

Zhuang Ming glanced slightly sideways.

Behind him, Qian Yang suddenly took out a brocade bag and handed it over.

The head of the Qian family took it with both hands.

Zhuang Ming waved his hand and said, "It's up to you."

The head of the Qian family breathed a sigh of relief and saluted, "Thank you, Mr. Shisan, for your kindness."

He bowed before slowly retreating.

——

"Master..."

The old housekeeper hesitated and said: "You have specified that you want his life, can he still do things for us?"

Zhuang Ming laughed and said: "Everyone has the idea of ​​​​eking out a living, but he has no choice... He knows that he can't defeat Song Tianyuan, let alone me. If he doesn't follow me, he will still die, and the money The family will definitely be destroyed. He will either die alone, or after his death, his wife, children, children, and the entire Qian family will be buried with him."

After a pause, he heard Zhuang Ming say again: "This person is actually very powerful and very skillful, but he is a little eager for quick success and has too many flaws, so I can catch him. However, he is also very self-aware, so he can He understood the pros and cons and was willing to die, which is what I value about him. However, it is a pity that his treacherous behavior still cost lives and touched my bottom line. I cannot spare him."

The old housekeeper muttered: "Old slave, it seems that he is not even afraid of death. Such a person may not be obedient."

Zhuang Ming smiled and said: "It depends on the situation. It is easy for him to choose between killing one person or killing the entire clan."

As he spoke, Zhuang Ming added: "Although his courage to not be afraid of death is indeed rare, but the reason why he is not afraid of death is precisely because he is calm enough to die willingly. For such a calm person, as long as he is allowed to You understand one thing, if I can destroy his entire Qian clan, he will definitely obey me."

"The reason why the handle is a handle is that only we can know it. This time I asked Lu He to go and sit in person and lay out suspicions. We can't let the Song family get this handle, and we can't let him think that he can use the Song family to survive."

"If it were the old Patriarch Song, it would be easy to deal with it. Although he was also a ruthless character in his early years, he has aged, his spirit is too weak, and he lacks courage. But this young Song Tianyuan is really a powerful character with courage."

After a pause, Zhuang Ming said: "Actually, I still can't figure him out, so I have to be more cautious."
