Chapter 67 Choice
Wuchang City is destined to be restless tonight. Although the Governor's Mansion has ordered a curfew for the whole city, the remaining hundreds of old, weak, sick and disabled cannot meet the needs of the entire city because of the repeated withdrawal of the city defense battalion.

There are some dark shadows constantly moving around on the street, some of them are from the Governor's Mansion, some are from the Governor's Mansion, and there are people from various big families. Under the cover of night, all the sinful transactions will be covered up.

At this time, the Huguang Chamber of Commerce in Wuchang City has been temporarily closed down by the governor's office, but the real power of the Huguang Chamber of Commerce has been transferred underground.

The old man of the Cheng family was sitting in front of the case with a serious face. The subordinates were all representatives of several families. Their faces were stern. Although they had been sitting all the time, their buttocks were not really sitting firmly, as if they were expecting something.

"Right now, the fight outside the city is in full swing. According to the information I have, the Ning family has already raised a flag of rebellion. Today, it has even occupied Snake Mountain, beating up the bidders and supervisors." Cheng Yuanzhi bit by bit what he had mastered The situation was told, but there was no statement.

Zheng Xian, Wang Zihai, Xu Chongyuan and others who were sitting here cursed the old fox in their hearts, but the current situation made everyone quite difficult.

It's very simple. Judging from the current situation, the relationship between the Ning family and them is too close. If the Ning family didn't take the thunder in the front this time, they would be in trouble behind.

If it is possible to put aside the relationship with the Ning family, then these few families naturally do not hesitate. The problem is that it is completely irrelevant now, especially the Zheng family and the Cheng family are almost tied to the same boat as the Ning family. If they are defeated, these two families will also have to be wiped out together.

What is rebellion?That is a great crime against the entire family!Among the nine families, the Zheng family and the Cheng family were naturally included.

Cheng Yuanzhi was an old man, and he could see the thoughts of these people at a glance, smiled coldly, picked up the teacup and said nothing.

"People from the Ning family are waiting outside now, Mr. Cheng, can you tell me?" Zheng Xian finally lost his temper.

Cheng Yuanzhi chuckled, "You guys can share any ideas you have. Everyone in the Huguang Chamber of Commerce has a share. I just rely on my seniority to be the chairman of this association. But after all, people are old and blind, and things are easy to be confused!"

Wang Zihai was impatient. Originally, his family was in Changsha, Hunan, so he naturally lost a lot of scruples.

"Now that the chariots and horses are made clear, we have to follow Wang's thinking. The Ning family is really crazy. The court soldiers and horses can stop them for a while, and they can stop them for a lifetime? Naturally, our hearts are for the court."

The Xu family represented by Xu Zhongyuan is also from Hunan, but they have the same idea in their hearts, and then said: "The Huguang Chamber of Commerce naturally cannot continue. My Xu family is determined to withdraw. As for what you think, that is your own. It's time." After speaking, he lifted his clothes and walked out.

Cheng Yuanzhi looked unhurried, glanced at Zheng Xian, and didn't stop him, with a smile on his face.

Seeing that Cheng Yuanzhi and Zheng Xian were silent, Wang Zihai snorted coldly, got up and left at random, and walked outside.

Zheng Xian saw that the two were about to leave, so he was a little anxious, got up and wanted to stop him, but he didn't say anything, sat down lazily, and let out a long sigh.

Cheng Yuanzhi smiled and said: "Mr. Zhi Zhai, what are you thinking about?" Zhi Zhai is Zheng Xian's word.

Zheng Xian shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "I, Cheng, Zheng, and Ning's family are already grasshoppers on the same rope, how else can I choose? Forget it, it's not like they died together."

Cheng Yuanzhi nodded lightly, then clapped his palms, a middle-aged man came in from the door, with a dark face and ordinary appearance, the only strange thing was that his right hand only had four fingers.

"Master, the members of the Wang family and the Xu family have all been dealt with." The man looked respectful, but the words he said were full of chills.

Zheng Xian shuddered, and glanced at Cheng Yuanzhi, who was smiling like a Maitreya, but he felt a bit of fear, this old man was indeed an old fritter from the officialdom, and his hands were really dark.

With a wave of Cheng Yuanzhi's hand, the man backed away, and smiled again: "Mr. Zhizhai, now I can't tolerate half-heartedness. I have already made relevant preparations. After dawn, I will welcome the Ning family's army into the city!"

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

At the same time, on the Snake Mountain.

Ning Yu has already arranged a sentry post for the night, so that the others can fully rest, recover their strength, and prepare to launch an attack at dawn.

After everything was arranged, it was discovered that the old man was standing on the top of the mountain, his whole figure was hidden in the dark night, motionless, only a little movement was made by the night wind blowing his clothes.

"Tell father, everything has been arranged." Ning Yu came over and bowed.

Ning Zhongyuan sighed, and said with a wry smile: "Now my Ning family really has no turning back, Yu'er, do you regret it?"

Ning Yu understood what Ning Zhongyuan meant. If he had kept his own place from the very beginning, the Ning family might end up in a house raid, but he, Ning Yu, might still be able to save his life, but now if he fails, there will be no hope.

Ning Yu said in a deep voice: "Father, this is all destined. We all know in our hearts that the Qing court will not let my Ning family, nor the Cheng family and Zheng family be let go. We have no way out."

"Yes, there is no way out." Ning Zhongyuan sighed, and then smiled: "I asked you to marry the Cui family, not just to save the Ning family from disaster, but actually because I hoped that the Ning family and the Cui family could truly become a family."

Ning Yu was a little strange. Something was wrong with this matter from the very beginning. No matter whether he went to apprentice or get married, his father seemed to want him to be tied to Cui's house all the time, with a bit of mystery.

Ning Zhongyuan chuckled, "The reason is very simple. Your teacher and I were fateful brothers back then. At that time, we were both studying in school and we were just friends."

"It's just that we have always had a big disagreement. Forget it, let's not talk about it. It's useless to talk about it now. I hope you will have the opportunity to be taught by your teacher in the future."

Ning Yu vaguely guessed something, and was about to ask, but found that there was a howling sound from the city of Wuchang at the foot of the mountain, and then there were fire lights. These fire lights were not concentrated in one place, but appeared everywhere in the city.

"The shadow has succeeded, the Qing army at the foot of the mountain is probably about to move!" Ning Yu's eyes were full of fire,

At this time, the Qing army at the foot of the mountain also discovered the change in Wuchang City, which caused a commotion, especially the Qing soldiers in the city defense battalion, which almost caused a commotion, and the entire camp was in chaos.But this is also normal, because the Qing army of the city defense battalion originally had family members in the city, and if something happened in the city, they would naturally be concerned about their every move.
