Just when Wang Dong and others gathered together to discuss how to deal with Chu Yi's opening of the sea, a steward from the palace came in a hurry, walked to the pavilion, and approached Wang Dong's ears amidst the doubtful eyes of the family heads.
While whispering for a while, Wang Dong's expression changed drastically after hearing the butler's words.
Staring at the housekeeper, Wang Dong took a deep breath and said slowly, "Are you sure it's really that person who's here?"
The housekeeper nodded slowly and said, "Master, our people have used bribery. We can be sure that it is that person."
Wang Dong's expression changed, and he waved his hand towards the housekeeper to signal him to retreat first.
Seeing Wang Dong's expression in his eyes, Zhang Anping chuckled and said, "Looking at Brother Wang's expression, is there something wrong?"
What kind of temperament does Wang Dong have, to be able to make Wang Dong react like this to something, which shows that this matter is absolutely extraordinary.
Several other people also looked at Wang Dong curiously.
Wang Dong glanced at everyone and said slowly: "Everyone, just now, my butler has brought news. I think you will be very shocked if you hear this news."
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other after hearing this. They didn't know what kind of news it was that made Wang Dong say this. And judging from Wang Dong's meaning, it seemed that the news was related to them.
I could only hear Wang Dong saying word by word: "The eunuch Chu Yi is here!"
Everyone was shocked. Chen Lin's hand stroking his beard couldn't help but trembled. He looked up at Wang Dong and said, "Brother Wang, what do you mean by this!"
Obviously everyone doesn't quite understand what Wang Dong means. Is Chu Yi here?
Wang Dong explained: "Not long ago, two official ships docked at the pier. Several people got off the official ship and entered Suzhou City. After our people inquired, those few people were headed by Chu Yi.
."
"What, this is impossible. The eunuch Chu Yi should be in charge of the capital. How could he suddenly come to our Suzhou mansion?"
A family head reflexively refused to believe this, so his face was full of disbelief.
Zhang Anping took a sip of tea to suppress the turmoil in his heart, and said slowly: "Since Brother Wang said so, then this matter must be true. I never expected that this eunuch would really dare to leave.
Beijing, doesn’t he know that except for the capital, every place in the world is like a dragon’s pool and a tiger’s den to him?”
Chen Lin clapped his hands and praised: "Wonderful, really wonderful. God knows, this eunuch came out to seek death on his own, so no one else can blame him."
In the eyes of everyone, Chu Yi can be said to be the enemy of the whole world, and the only way to protect himself is to stay in the capital, command the capital's heavy troops, and have the protection of the emperor.
Once he left the capital, without heavy troops in hand, and without the emperor's protection, Chu Yi was like a tiger with its claws cut off. If he was not careful, he might be beheaded.
Several family heads reacted, and couldn't help showing joy on their faces. Everyone looked at Wang Dong, Zhang Anping, and Chen Lin.
The three maritime merchants in Suzhou and Hangzhou were led by three families. Previously, they were still discussing how to deal with Chu Yi, but they never thought that Chu Yi would come to his door.
If they were in the capital, they would have to consider how much they would have to pay to kill Chu Yi. After all, the capital is not their territory. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake.
What's more, in the capital, Chu Yi is not a local snake, he is a real strong dragon.
The capital is Chu Yi's territory. Anyone who wants to deal with Chu Yi must think twice before doing so. But whose territory is Suzhou Mansion? Ask the people of Suzhou Mansion, from the eighty-year-old to the young and young.
I don’t know that the real owner of Suzhou Mansion is not the Emperor of Heaven or the prefect, but a few big families who have built the huge Suzhou Mansion into an iron barrel.
A family head stroked his beard and sneered, "It's true that there is a way to heaven that he won't take, and there is no way to hell to break in. Everyone, this is a God-given opportunity. If we miss this opportunity, I'm afraid God won't be able to see it!"
"
Wang Dong, Zhang Anping, and Chen Lin looked at each other, and Wang Dong put down the teacup in his hand, looked around at the people, and said: "Everyone, this matter is of great importance and needs to be confirmed again. If Chu Yi really comes to us,
If it’s Suzhou City, then he won’t even think about leaving again!”
At the Dongchang stronghold, Mao Yu, the foreman, was standing in front of Chu Yi with a cold sweat on his face. Right in front of him, a Dongchang fan was kneeling on the ground with a pale face and trembling all over.
Chu Yi sat there, tapping the table gently with one hand, and glanced at the fan who was almost unconscious on the ground. Then he looked at Mao Yu, and slowly said: "Not bad, I didn't expect those people.
His reach is so long that he even bribed people from my east factory."
Fanzi Ma Liu trembled all over and said: "Supervisor, please spare my life, Supervisor, please spare your life, my subordinates don't want to do this. They forced me, they forced me!"
Maoyu's forehead was covered with white sweat. He was obviously frightened. Not long ago, Cao Shaoqin personally identified as many as five fanzi from the dozen or so fanzi in Dongchang.
These five fans were all bribed. Looking at Ma Liu, who was usually regarded as his confidant, Mao Yu felt terrified in his heart.
Even his confidants have been bribed. In the eyes of those people, his Dongchang stronghold may have no secrets at all. The most terrible thing is that according to the accounts of these excluded people who were bribed, these people
Chu Yi's identity has been leaked.
As a middle-level and high-level executive in Dongchang, Mao Yu knew even if he was a fool, that once Chu Yi's identity was exposed, it would inevitably bring great danger.
Especially since Chu Yi left the capital quietly, it would be really dangerous if someone discovered Chu Yi's identity and tried to harm Chu Yi.
Cao Shaoqin on the side snorted coldly and said: "The big families in Suzhou City are really bold. They even dare to bribe people from my East Factory. What do they want to do!"
Wiping away the cold sweat on his forehead, Mao Yu looked at Cao Shaoqin and Chu Yi with a bit of worry: "Supervisor, I'm afraid your identity has been revealed now. These big families don't usually treat adults like you."
I have a little good impression, and some people even threatened to make the governor look good, and the subordinates were worried..."
Chu Yi chuckled and said: "What are you worried about? You have already told me that my identity may have been leaked. They are just a bunch of clowns. I have never taken them to heart."
Afraid that Chu Yi would not know about the power of several big families in Suzhou Mansion, Mao Yu said anxiously: "The governor does not know something. These big families have dozens or hundreds of private soldiers in their manors outside the city.
If they really want to harm the governor, I'm afraid..."
Raising his brows, Chu Yi stared at Mao Yu with a sneer on his lips and said, "Private soldiers? Are you sure?"
Gritting his teeth, Mao Yu nodded and said: "I dare to pledge my head as a guarantee. Several private soldiers add up to at least 500 people. I beg the Governor to move quickly and stay away from Suzhou Mansion..."
Chu Yi couldn't help but smile and said: "You are trying to make me run away!"
Mao Yu said anxiously: "If something happens to the Governor, my subordinates will not be able to bear it!"
As he spoke, Mao Yu looked at Cao Shaoqin who was standing aside with an anxious expression, obviously begging Cao Shaoqin to persuade Chu Yi.
However, Cao Shaoqin seemed very calm, as if he was not worried about Chu Yi's safety at all.
Chu Yi stood up slowly, walked to Mao Yu, reached out and patted Mao Yu's shoulder and said: "Mao Yu, I know your loyalty to this governor. As for those families in the city, they are just a bunch of chickens and dogs.
Well, if they really have the courage, I would like to meet them for a while!"
Mao Yu saw that Chu Yi didn't take the threats of several big families to heart, but he had no other way. He could only sigh in his heart: "I will die to repay the governor's love!"
Waving his hand, Chu Yi glanced at the few people who were found in the yard, and said expressionlessly: "A group of people are eating inside and outside, Cao Shaoqin, you go and deal with them, and hang them on the flagpole for the governor."
If Chu Yi's identity has indeed been exposed, it doesn't take much thinking to know that this Dongchang stronghold is probably being closely watched by others, and even the slightest movement will alert those people.
Now Chu Yi actually hangs up the body of Dongchang Fanzi who was found to have been bribed. This is clearly telling several big families that the spy they bribed has been discovered.
"Lord Governor, please spare my life..."
In just a blink of an eye, Cao Shaoqin had the necks of several fans broken, and then hung them up one by one.
Almost a hundred feet away from the Dongchang stronghold, several servants suddenly saw the corpse hanging at the Dongchang stronghold and couldn't help but be startled.
A steward sent by the Wang family was startled when he saw a familiar figure among them and said: "No, Ma Liu's identity has been exposed. Go to the head of the Tongbing family!"
There was more than one person who reacted like the manager of the Wang family, and servants from other families also immediately discovered that the spy they had bribed had revealed his identity, and spread the news back at an extremely fast speed.
In Tingtao Courtyard, when a steward informed Wang Dong of the incident at the Dongchang Stronghold, Wang Dong couldn't help but his expression changed, a cold light flashed in his eyes and he snorted: "What a Chu Butcher, he is so
Is it a provocation to us?"
In the eyes of Wang Dong and others, Chu Yi discovered the Dongchang fanzi they had bribed, then killed him and hung him on the flagpole. This was a completely provocative act.
Wu County Han Xing sneered and said: "Does he think that we dare not do anything to him? It's a pity that we are not the cowardly people in Nanjing City, so many people were confiscated and exterminated by a mere Chu Yi.
Today we must make this eunuch understand whose territory this Suzhou Mansion belongs to."
As he said this, Han Xing suddenly stood up and stared at Wang Dong and the others: "Master Wang, please make a decision early. This is a God-given opportunity. Today is the day to kill the eunuch Chu Yi."
Wang Dong looked at Zhang Anping, and Chen Lin asked, "What do you two think?"
Zhang Anping and Chen Lin looked at each other and heard the two of them gritting their teeth and saying, "In that case, we will work together to eliminate this country's major trouble!"
Wang Dong nodded and said: "Everyone, since this Chu Yi wants to cut off our wealth, then he and we have sworn hatred. If we don't kill the eunuchs today, I'm afraid we will be harmed by them in the future!
"
"Kill the eunuchs, kill the eunuchs!"
In the corner of the pavilion, Wang Dong stretched out his hand and pulled out a long sword with cold light. He slashed down with the sword and chopped off a corner of the coffee table. He stared at the heads of the family with cold eyes and said: "Everyone, don't blame Wang for making ugly remarks.
Up front, the killing of Chu Yi is related to the future prosperity and decline of our family. If anyone dares not to do his best, it will be like this case!"
The heads of the families were awestruck. Who didn't know that Wang Dong, the head of the Wang family, was a lunatic. Under that kind face, there was a crazy and terrifying soul hidden.
"Brother, you called my second brother back, but what happened?"
Just at this moment, there was a sound of rapid footsteps, and the second master of the Wang family, Wang Shouwei, wearing armor, was seen walking over.
Everyone couldn't help but bow their hands when they saw Wang Shoubei. When Wang Shoubei saw these family heads, his expression did not change. He was not surprised at all. He first nodded to everyone, then stepped forward and saluted Wang Dong: "I have seen you, brother."
."
Wang Dong nodded when he saw Wang Shoubei, with a smile on his face and said: "The second brother came back just in time. The eldest brother is discussing with several family heads to do a great feat to save the people from water and fire. The second brother is always here
In the army, I might as well provide you with some details."
Wang Shoubei couldn't help being stunned for a moment, but after listening to the explanations of Wang Dong and others, Wang Shoubei said with a look of horror on his face: "You said that Chu Yi actually left Beijing and came to our Suzhou Mansion, why didn't he do it in advance?
There is no news about it, so it couldn’t be a mistake.”
Wang Dong waved his hand and said: "The news is definitely true. As for why Chu Yi came to Suzhou City quietly, I'm afraid it won't be of any benefit to us. My second brother just said that we are going to surround and kill Chu Yi. How many troops do we need to dispatch?
That’s fine.”
"Yes, we have decided to take the opportunity to kill the eunuch Chu Yi. Wang Shoubei just needs to help us find out how many manpower we need to dispatch before we can be absolutely sure to capture Chu Yi."
There was some hesitation on Wang Shoubei's face, and he took a deep breath and said: "Everyone, Chu Yi was ambushed more than once, but every time the people who ambush Chu Yi failed, it can be seen from this alone that Chu Yi
That strength is unfathomable."
"Hmph, with powerful crossbows and volleys of fire cannons, even if Chu Yi is made of fine steel, it will turn him into a hornet's nest! What's more, each of us has invited monks to worship at home, plus hundreds of private soldiers
, I’m afraid this Chu Yi won’t be able to escape even if he has wings on his back.”
The head of the Han family in Wu County, Han Xing said with a cold light in his eyes.
With powerful crossbows, fire blunderbuss, hundreds of private soldiers, and a few dedicated warriors, to be honest, they really couldn't figure out how Chu Yi, with less than 20 people around him, could do it in such a situation.
To save his life from the attack of an insurmountable force.
