Fortunate Young Gentleman

The Text of Ruyi Xiaolangjun Chapter 580: Furious Tang Ning was frightened by Gongsun Ying's sudden laughter and almost fell down the stairs and sprained her ankle. Old Zheng came out, looked at Gongsun Ying who was laughing wildly, and asked Tang Ning: "Is she crazy?"

Tang Ning nodded and said: "Almost."

More than ten years of planning and hard work, running around, is not it for the future of King Wu to inherit the throne, and the biggest stumbling block in front of King Wu is King Qian. Now, before they can make a move, King Qian has been taken away by God. King Wu has no rivals in the world.

Under the ups and downs, she did not go crazy with joy like Fan Jin, which was already very restrained.

After learning about the death of King Qian, Gongsun Ying's suppressed mood along the way was obviously swept away. Tang Ning had never seen this woman laugh before, but today alone, she suddenly laughed three times.

The heads of the three major families also looked very happy. The business of the Xiao family was taken over by them and divided up cleanly.

Even if they still have to pay a lot of silver to the court, they can earn back all the principal and interest in a few years.

The Xiao family's property in Quzhou is initially valued at 5 million taels. The three major families have already collected 5 million taels two days ago. In a short period of time, they cannot take out so much cash. Tang Ning relaxed the conditions for them. If there is no gold and silver, silver notes will do. If it really doesn't work, it is not impossible to use any valuable things as collateral.

In this way, their gains in Quzhou will be as much as 10 million taels, which is equivalent to the tax silver of the national treasury for one year.

These Jiangnan nobles are really rich. Zhu, Huang, and Dong can cover the sky with one hand in Quzhou, but looking at the whole Jiangnan, they are not the top.

The wealth of the corrupt Heshen is equivalent to the tax revenue of the Qing Dynasty for more than ten years. Although the wealth of these Jiangnan nobles is not so exaggerated, if more than a dozen states do this, at least for more than ten years, Chen will no longer have to worry about the problem of tight treasury.

Zhang, the steward of Xiao's house, finally gave out some information. The King of Qian had three bases in Jiangnan, such as Quzhou, for collecting money. The largest one was in Runzhou. In addition to the Xiao's house in Quzhou that was taken down by Tang Ning, the other two were located in Wuzhou and Shezhou, just on the way from Quzhou to Runzhou.

It's a pity that all the silver earned by the Xiao's house in these three states in recent years was transported to Runzhou. Quzhou only had 30,000 taels, and the other two states should not be much different.

Whether they have silver or not, the base of the King of Qian should be taken down.

After all, at this point, the goal of their trip was very clear. The King of Qian was dead, but the remnants of the King of Qian were still there. In addition to Quzhou, there were also some signs of rebellion in Runzhou and other places.

If they were ignored, others would think that he came to Jiangnan just to make money, and that he was a vulgar man who was obsessed with money, which would damage his tall and majestic image in the hearts of officials in Beijing.

It was Emperor Chen who was obsessed with money, and he would not take the blame.

The matter in Quzhou has been settled, and the three major families and the local government have reached an agreement. If the Xiao family sends someone again, it will only come back.

Since Quzhou is stable, Tang Ning has no need to stay in the state for a long time. He bids farewell to Xu Qingyang, Zhang Yansheng and others in Quzhou and is about to go to Wuzhou, moving towards the final goal of Runzhou.

Runzhou, Xiao Mansion.

The Xiao family is a new family in Runzhou. It has only been prosperous for a short period of ten years. From the foundation, it is far from comparable to the four major families in Runzhou.

Runzhou is located in the hub of Jiangnan, and its wealth is not comparable to other states. The four major families in Runzhou are also among the top in the whole Jiangnan. Any one of them is not only the overlord of Jiangnan, but also has the ability to reach the sky and the earth in the court.

The four major families have a deep foundation and firmly control Runzhou, but the Xiao family has taken a piece of its own territory from the four major families in the past ten years and has become one of the top wealthy families in Jiangnan, making the four major families quite wary. Just for this reason, the Xiao family cannot be underestimated.

Runzhou has been a little turbulent in the past few months. The death of the master of the emerging wealthy family Xiao family will cause some turmoil in Runzhou anyway.

The four major families will naturally not miss this opportunity. They took advantage of the chaos in the Xiao Mansion and took a lot of advantage of the Xiao family. It was not until the young master of the Xiao family stood up that the four major families restrained themselves.

Inside the Xiao Mansion, a young man put down his teacup heavily and said angrily: "The Su family is very skilled at taking advantage of the situation. If it weren't for them, we wouldn't have suffered such a big loss this time."

"It's better not to have these petty gains." Bai Jin stood beside him and said: "The Su family dominates Jiangnan, and they are not so easy to mess with. They also have the Tang family and Prince Duan in the court. It's not worth going against them for a little money."

The young man looked at him and raised his eyebrows and said: "Haven't you been developing in the capital for these years? How come you can't even deal with the Tang family..."

Bai Jin explained: "The Tang family has many followers, and there are Prince Duan and Concubine Tang Hui above them. No one in the court can deal with them now."

"Alright." The young man waved his hand and said impatiently: "I know that my father has no use for you. If you want to plan big things, you still have to rely on this prince himself..."

Bai Jin opened his lips, but didn't say anything in the end.

The young man thought of something and suddenly asked, "The silver from Quzhou should be delivered soon, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a man walked in from outside and said, "Prince, there is news from Quzhou!"

The young man looked at him and asked, "How much silver did Zhang Shun send this time?"

The man looked at him and said, "Prince, something bad has happened. The Xiao family of Quzhou, the Xiao family of Quzhou has been raided by the government!"

"What!" The young man stood up and said angrily, "Why was it raided by the government? What about the three major families? What do they do?"

The servant said, "Prince, there are three major families involved in this matter. The three major families, the three major families are afraid of betraying us!"

"Looking for death!" The young man slapped the table with his palm, and the table suddenly broke into pieces and collapsed.

The Xiao family of Quzhou is their place to make money. Now that the cause of restoring the country has reached a critical moment, it is the time when money is needed. How can it go wrong?

"Send someone to check it out!" The young man said in a sinister voice, "If the three major families really betrayed, you might as well help them replace an obedient head of the family."

"Yes!" The servant responded and immediately retreated.

The Xiao family has controlled the three major families for many years. It can be said that the three major families in Quzhou are their captive livestock. The livestock have been suppressed for too long and want to be the master. At this time, as long as a few of them are killed in front of them, they can become quiet again.

"Quzhou..."

Bai Jin seemed to have thought of something, and his face changed slightly.

...

Su Mei was wearing a thin shirt, lying on the bed, swinging her legs with her legs raised. When she saw Bai Jin coming in, she looked up and asked, "You look bad. Were you scolded by the prince again?"

Bai Jin glanced at her and said, "The three major families betrayed, and the Xiao family in Quzhou was confiscated by the government."

Su Mei rolled her eyes at her and said, "You also said that witchcraft is a crooked way to control people. People who often use crooked ways are likely to suffer retribution..."

Bai Jin said, "The three major families don't have the courage. This must be done by the officials from the Ministry of Personnel."

Su Mei glanced at her and said, "Why are you telling me this? Does this matter have anything to do with me?"

Bai Jin looked at her and asked, "How long have you not read the intelligence?"

"I haven't read it since I came to Jiangnan." Su Mei put down her legs and said, "What's wrong?"

Bai Jin asked, "Do you know who the Ministry of Personnel sent to Jiangnan this time?"

Su Mei seemed to have thought of something, her face changed, she sat up from the bed and asked, "Who?"
