Chapter five hundred and seventy-eight continue to blow
In the inn, Tang Ning, who had fallen asleep, got up again. Looking at the head of the Huang family who was kneeling on the ground with runny nose and tears, she shook her head and said, "There are only three antidote pills. If you waste it, it will be gone."
When he wanted to leave, he left right away. Tangning gave him a chance, but he missed that opportunity. He didn't want the antidote, he could get it if he wanted it.
He patted the head of the Huang family three times on the shoulder and sighed: "Master Huang, just take care of yourself."
The head of the Huang family's voice trembled, "Master Tang, I was wrong, I was really wrong, please give me another chance..."
But when he looked up, all he faced was the closed door.
The head of the Huang family walked back in despair. The head of the Dong family looked at him and asked, "How is it? Did you get the antidote?"
Seeing his dazed expression, the head of the Zhu family said, "Based on his performance at the banquet just now, if I were Mr. Tang, even if I had the antidote, I wouldn't want to give it to him."
The head of the Huang family looked at the head of the Dong family, and suddenly seemed to remember something, his eyes flashing, and said: "You said that the antidote is stained with blood, and those bugs come out of the body. When you use the antidote, there is also something in the blood.
Antidote, how about each of you give me a bowl of blood?"
The head of the Dong family looked at his wolf-like eyes, shuddered, and said: "This method will definitely not work..."
"How will you know if you don't try?" The last life-saving straw, how could the head of the Huang family give up, turned around and shouted: "Come here, bring a knife..."
"Wait a minute." The head of the Zhu family stepped forward and said, "You said, Mr. Tang just patted you three times on the shoulder?"
The head of the Huang family looked at him and asked, "Why do you ask this?"
The head of the Zhu family thought for a moment and said, "This may be your only chance."
The head of the Huang family showed a hint of excitement on his face and asked, "How do you say this?"
…
Tangning woke up, washed up, and when she walked out of the room, she saw someone moving large boxes into the yard.
He was stunned and asked, "What are you doing?"
The head of the Huang family ran over and said with a smile: "Master Tang, when the common people learned that war was about to break out in the north, they were worried about the world and couldn't sleep at night..."
Tangning looked at him and said, "Tell me the important point."
The head of the Huang family said seriously: "The common people are willing to donate three million taels of silver to the national treasury to serve as military pay. I hope that Mr. Tang will accept it on behalf of the imperial court and your majesty."
Tang Ning looked at him with a smile on her face and said, "The Huang family master is determined."
The head of the Huang family said: "This is what ordinary people should do."
"Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. It would be great if everyone could think like Master Huang." Tang Ning glanced at him approvingly, rummaged in her sleeves, took out a small bottle, threw it to him, and said:
"Ah, why is there an antidote here? Since the Huang Family Master is so caring, this antidote will be given to you..."
The head of the Huang family bowed to the end and said excitedly: "Thank you, Lord Tang..."
…
Huang family.
The head of the Huang family looked at the insect corpses on the ground and said angrily: "Get my knife, I will cut their corpses into thousands of pieces, crush their bones and scatter them into ashes!"
Three million taels was not a small sum for the Huang family. At this moment, he vented all the resentment in his heart on these insect corpses.
Of course, he was also complaining about the heads of the Zhu family and the Dong family. If they could have helped him at that time, the Huang family would not have lost such a large sum of money.
The head of the Dong family said: "If you lose money and avoid disaster, the Xiao family has caused the Huang family to lose more than three million taels in these years."
The head of the Huang family chopped up the insect corpses on the ground, then raised his head and asked, "What should we do next?"
The head of the Zhu family said: "Having been a slave of the Xiao family for so long, is it time to ask them for some interest?"
The head of the Huang family asked: "Can we fight them?"
The head of the Zhu family asked, "Can they fight against the imperial court?"
"Yes." The head of the Huang family nodded and said: "After all these years, you, surnamed Zhu, are still so insidious. If the Xiao family wants to rebel, the court will not let them go..."
The head of the Dong family thought of something, looked at him, and asked, "You just went to ask for the antidote. What else did Master Tang say?"
The head of the Huang family thought for a while and said: "Master Tang said that every man is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. Nowadays, there are grasslands in the north that repeatedly invade the border, and the Western Regions in the west are eyeing them. The people of Chen State should have money and strength to contribute, like us.
Big businessmen, it is best to donate some money to reduce the pressure on the treasury. The more you donate, the better. If you don’t donate, you are not a Chen Guoren..."
…
When Tang Ning woke up in the morning, the Huang family sent three million taels of silver. When she woke up in the afternoon, the Zhu family and the Dong family each sent another one million taels.
In this way, Quzhou's target has been achieved, and has been greatly exceeded. It seems that the heads of the three major families are all sentimental people, and have a deep understanding of the principle that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world.
As for the remaining Xiao family, there is no need for him to rush to take action. The three major families have been oppressed for many years, and they may not be able to bear it any longer.
Quzhou, Xiao Mansion.
The master of Xiao Mansion is away. In the past ten years, everything in Xiao Mansion has been taken care of by the housekeeper.
A servant hurried in and shouted: "Butler Zhang, it's not good, it's not good!"
Butler Zhang had just made tea and the tea was still cold. He raised his head, frowned and glanced at the servant who walked in, and said, "You are in a hurry. If you have something to do, please tell me slowly!"
The servant gasped and said: "All the merchants in Quzhou City, big and small, have canceled their cooperation with us..."
"What?" Butler Zhang slammed the table, stood up, and asked: "Where are the three major families, what do they do for food!"
The servant said: "This incident was caused by the three major families!"
Butler Zhang's expression was stunned, with a trace of disbelief on his face, and he blurted out: "Impossible, are they crazy and don't want their lives?"
The servant said in panic: "Steward Zhang, we are in trouble this time..."
"What's the trouble?" Butler Zhang snorted coldly and said, "I don't believe that they can withstand the pain of the poisonous insects eating their hearts. If we don't let them suffer a little, they won't know how to be obedient..."
Blessings to the family.
Butler Zhang walked to the door, looked at the concierge of Zhu Mansion, and said, "Let Zhu Xiong come out to see me!"
The concierge glanced at him and said, "The master of the house is receiving guests. Please wait for a moment, Butler Zhang."
Butler Zhang said angrily: "You bastard, don't you know who I am?"
After saying that, he crossed over to the concierge and walked towards Zhu's house.
The servants of the Zhu family stepped forward to stop him, but they were scolded by him one after another.
They were obviously a little afraid of Butler Zhang and did not dare to actually stop him.
When the head of the Zhu family heard the commotion, he walked out of the room, looked at Butler Zhang in the courtyard, and asked, "Why did Butler Zhang lose his temper?"
Butler Zhang looked directly at him and asked solemnly: "My surname is Zhu, do you want to rebel?"
The head of the Zhu family looked at him and said with a smile: "Rebellion..., isn't this the thief's call to catch the thief?"
"It seems that you really have a different intention." Butler Zhang took out a bamboo flute from his sleeve, looked at him, and said, "I hope you can still laugh after a while."
As soon as he finished speaking, he put the bamboo flute to his mouth and started playing.
The sound of the flute is short and long, intermittent.
Butler Zhang narrowed his eyes and looked at the head of the Zhu family, who looked at him quietly.
Seeing the calm-looking head of the Zhu family, Butler Zhang had a trace of suspicion on his face. He took a deep breath and the flute played more quickly.
After a while, he became a little dizzy while playing, put down the flute, and looked at the head of the Zhu family in shock.
The head of the Zhu family looked at him and said calmly: "Keep blowing, why don't you stop blowing?"
