Chapter 593 Damn it!Still dare to bully you at this time?Take it!

The wealthy Shen family in Guangzhou.

On this day, the government and army were ordered to liquidate the wealthy smuggling families along the coast.

The members of the Shen clan are gathering together to discuss matters.

Because the result of the conquest of Luzon was quite different from the expected result of the coastal tycoons, and in addition, Qi Jimei appeared in Guangdong with heavy troops.

Therefore, it is impossible for the coastal wealthy families not to be vigilant.

As a result, members of the Shen clan had no choice but to gather together to discuss what to do next.

And this is not the first time they have gathered to discuss the conquest of Luzon.

They have discussed it many times, but because they have not been able to make up their minds, they have to continue to discuss.

Everyone knew that the results of the conquest of Luzon were not what they had expected, so the members of the Shen clan under the bright lights were not in a very good mood.

Someone just poured wine from the gilt jade pot into the cup, and then drank it one gulp, while squinting at the maid's ass.

There are also people who don't think about tea and wine, just sigh and sigh in place, and some people stare with eyes as big as a cow, as if they want to vent all the grievances they have suffered in the past at this time, and feel that anyway, the building is about to fall, and there is no need for them endured.

at this time.

The head of the clan, Shen Ruliang, opened his mouth first, and said to everyone in the clan with a serious face: "Qi Jimei suddenly led a large army to appear in Guangdong. There is no doubt that it is either targeting the Chen family or targeting us!"

"Now!"

As Shen Ruliang spoke, he suddenly stood up and looked at the crowd:

"And now, the conquest of Luzon has been won, and Qi Jimei is still in Guangdong. Naturally, it is no longer aimed at the Chen family. It is very likely that it is aimed at us wealthy families. It must be that some of our people have rebelled, giving the court a chance to liquidate us. Waiting to catch us all now."

"So, our Shen family must come up with an idea as soon as possible, whether to go to sea and escape, or to transfer the family's wealth and population as soon as possible."

"Everyone talks about the solution."

After speaking, Shen Ruliang sat back and picked up a cup of tea.

boom!

But just as Shen Ruliang picked up a cup of tea and was about to take a sip, he heard a piercing sound of broken porcelain.

Shen Ruliang couldn't help but look up and saw his third brother Shen Rufang saying with a puffed face: "This is the New Party going too far to deceive others and take away our wealth. From my point of view, it is simply the opposite!"

"My Shen family and several in-laws unite and can instigate hundreds of thousands of strong men to revolt. What's more, the new party has long been unpopular. As long as we dare to raise troops in Huguang and Jiangxi, and establish another vassal king as the king, we will not worry about the world wanting to restore our ancestors." The sages of the system do not compete to submit!"

Shen Rufang went on to say: "It doesn't matter if you lose, the big deal is to go to sea, and it's not like there are people in the Guangdong Navy that we have placed!"

"inappropriate!"

"Let's not talk about whether the in-laws who have been friends with us for generations will be willing to join forces to overthrow the tyranny; the key point is that this kind of thing itself is not done by human officials, I am afraid that many people in the clan will not understand; Even if the in-laws are willing, they can suppress the clansmen who are unwilling. It will cost a lot of money and food to raise an army, and if they fail, the nine clans may not be safe!"

"It's better to escape directly to the sea."

At this time, Shen Rulang, Shen Ruliang's second brother, raised objections.

Shen Ruliang himself laughed at this moment: "Where can I escape to when I escape from the sea?"

"Brother is right, where can you escape?"

"The miasma is rampant outside, and people are still unfamiliar with life. Once they lose their foundation in the mainland, the supply of firearms and ammunition will not be available, and sooner or later they will be massacred by Fanren!"

"Besides, money can be taken away, can the land be taken away, can the ancestral graves be taken away, can the ancestral hall be taken away, can houses and shops be taken away, without these, what do we have to gain a foothold?"

Shen Rukui, the fourth younger brother of Shen Ruliang, also joined in at this time.

Shen Rufang couldn't help but said: "We can neither rebel nor go to sea, so what can we do, can we just sit and wait for death?!"

"Could it be that we worry too much?"

"Maybe it's not that bad?"

"Maybe Li Wenhe hasn't betrayed us yet, he was killed long ago. In addition, it is possible that Qi Jimei's appearance in Guangdong was really only aimed at the Chen family. Now that Lu Song has won a big victory with troops, he may be transferred back to Guangxi by the imperial court soon. go."

"However, it should be possible to try to transfer family wealth and population. Talk to those official families we have good friends with, and let the underage children in the clan go back to the mother clan with their mothers for a period of time. A part of the family wealth is deposited."

"In addition, the court must also send people to the capital to inquire about it. By the way, it will be checked up and down, so that the court will not pursue it as much as possible." Shen Rufu, the fifth younger brother of Shen Ruliang, expressed his opinion at this time.

Shen Rufang sneered: "This is our own wishful thinking, not to mention whether Li Wenhe will betray us, doesn't it mean that the imperial court doesn't know to take action against the Li family now, and then dig out us through the Li family?"

Shen Rufang looked at Shen Ruliang as she spoke: "If I had known this before, my elder brother shouldn't have advocated that we and the Li family and other wealthy families wanted to influence Chen Lin, a traitor, and stop the conquest of Lu Song. It won't be where it is now!"

"presumptuous!"

Shen Ruliang suddenly slapped the table, stood up and glared at Shen Rufang angrily.

Shen Rufang lowered her head.

Shen Ruliang asked at this moment: "I made this decision alone?"

As Shen Ruliang spoke, he looked at his younger brothers: "Who is it that says in my ear every day that once Lu Song returns to the imperial court, our Shen family's livelihood will be cut off, and the income will drop sharply in the future, and the whole family will have to drink the northwest wind?" day?"

"Who has repeatedly opposed the reduction of family expenses, and felt wronged by a small reduction in monthly money?"

"Who would rather increase the monthly money for the servants at home than to lose a few maidservants in their room?"

"You don't want to be frugal, but you blame me for taking the Shen family to take risks!"

"If I don't take the risk, according to your situation of living without food, won't the Shen family still perish sooner or later?!"

Shen Ruliang sat back angrily after speaking.

Shen Rufu said: "Elder brother is right, the matter has come to this point, and I can't blame elder brother. Now there are many honored people in the manor, but few planners. For the sake of the Shen family, the elder brother is trying his best to keep the Shen family's property. It’s not easy anymore, if we still say yes to three things, it’s really not a thing!”

"That's right, it's up to you, brother, to make the decision."

At this moment, Shen Rulang agreed, and looked at Shen Ruliang.

Shen Ruliang said: "According to what Lao Wu said, take the money and go to Beijing to do some research. In addition, transfer family wealth and population, go to sea and raise troops."

"There is Liu Daopo in the west of the city who is very accurate in divination. Why don't you invite her to ask about good and bad luck and see if there is any way."

At this time, Mrs. Min, Shen Ruliang’s wife, said.

Shen Ruliang nodded.

And when the Shen family invited Liu Daopo, the officers and soldiers also came to the Shen residence.

Seeing this, the concierge of the Shen family hurriedly ran over and said to Shen Ruliang and other Shen family members: "Masters, there are officers and soldiers outside, and they have surrounded our Shen family!"

Shen Ruliang, Shen Rulang and others were shocked when they saw this.

"That arrives so fast?"

Shen Rulang couldn't help but ask first.

Shen Ruliang's face sank like water, and said: "It's over! After all, we were lucky. We should go to sea first without hesitation, even if we directly raise troops!"

Boom!

At this time, a group of slaves outside who were trying to prevent the officers from entering were stabbed to death with knives by the officers who rushed in.

At this moment, Luo Xiangjing, the commander of the Guangdong Governor's Biaoying Battalion who led the troops in first, strode inside and shouted: "Are the people from the Shen family planning to rebel? Dare to stop the officers and soldiers who came in to announce the decree!"

Shen Ruliang hurriedly came over and knelt in the court: "The Shen family doesn't dare! The slaves don't know the etiquette and offended Tiancha. Please forgive Tiancha!"

Luo Xiangjing stopped, chuckled, took out the imperial decree, and read it.

After Luo Xiangjing finished reciting, Shen Ruliang collapsed to the ground on the spot.

The rest of the Shen family also looked horrified.

At that time, Shen Rufang couldn't help shouting loudly: "It's a big difference, I don't know about this matter, all affairs in the family have always been in charge of my brother, now my brother has committed such a crime, why implicate us?!"

Luo Xiangjing snorted, then kicked Shen Rufang directly, and cursed: "Damn it! How dare you bully the king at this time! Take it down!"

Shen Rufang was kicked to the ground for a moment, very embarrassed.
