Monarch of Evernight: Six weeding

bsp;Under the gaze of everyone, Gao Mingtang's face turned from white to red, and then from red to purple. He took a few breaths, and finally suppressed his attack. He said in a deep voice: "Master Qianye, are you also going to stand? Talking about something?"

The heads of the families sitting in the hall all looked away, not daring to look at Gaomingtang. Compared with the Gao family, their family is far behind. Gao Mingtang has to stand at the door, where can they sit safely? But the pressure from above was as heavy as a wave, and even the heads of the family who had always been attached to the Gao family did not dare to stand up.

Qianye looked indifferent and said, "Since you are late, just stand."

Gao Mingtang laughed angrily and said: "Okay! Then I would like to ask, what about those who haven't arrived yet?"

"Since you didn't come before dark, there's no need to come."

Gao Mingtang sneered and was about to blurt out what would you do if they didn't come. Suddenly he got excited and his sneer turned into cold sweat.

Gao Mingtang considered his words and said: "In other words, there will be no place for them here..."

"There will be no place for them in the city." Qianye's eyebrows were still cold and his tone was flat.

Gao Mingtang felt a chill in his heart and couldn't help but ask: "Sir, if there is no support from various families, how can such a large Tingchao City be governed?"

Tingchao City is such a behemoth, and it seems that it has suffered heavy losses now, but the resources, geographical advantages and other conditions that originally dominated it have not disappeared, and recovery is only a matter of time. The interests of such a big city are complicated and the forces are intertwined. If Qianye wants to transfer people from Nanqing and other places to control the city affairs, it is really not that easy.

However, the superior Qianye smiled slightly and said: "Who said it must be managed well?"

This time, not only Gaomingtang, but also all the family heads in the meeting hall were startled, and then their expressions changed drastically. They were all smart people and immediately understood the hidden meaning of Qianye's words. Since the effect is not considered, there is no need to worry about causing damage to Tingchao City. Whichever company displeases Qianye will be unlucky. As for whether Tingchaocheng will be in ruins and unable to afford depression, what does it have to do with him?

As a result, the most important value that each major family feels has become completely meaningless, and there is nothing that can threaten Qianye. Oh, you mean reputation? Everyone here is the head of the family, so this kind of false talk is just a matter of airing. Qianye's attitude is so clear now, and if he talks about it again, he will only bring humiliation to himself.

Looking at the situation in the East China Sea, Qianye has firmly established himself as the Lord of Tingchao City, so he naturally has a reputation. If you can't sit still, which reputation is better if you give up your foundation, or if you demolish this big city? The former is a weak word and the latter is a fierce word. Which one sounds better? The heads of the families knew it all.

After thinking about this section, each family head has different expressions and moods. Most of them were still thoughtful, and some were faintly happy. Although Tingchao City is large, it cannot accommodate too many families. After those big families were killed, there was room for smaller families like them to come forward.

Gao Mingtang's face changed several times, and he struggled in his heart for a long time. He looked at the sky outside, and finally bowed deeply to Qianye and said: "It is indeed rude of Gao to miss the time set by the adults. Now Gao is feeling anxious. , can you leave for a while?”

"Go ahead." Qianye waved his hand.

Gao Mingtang immediately hurried away and left the city lord's mansion. He came back in a short while, and he came back again and again, which was indeed a time to solve the internal crisis. It's just that everyone knows what he is doing, otherwise there are many bathrooms in the city lord's mansion, so why bother to go outside the mansion to solve it.

The sky outside the window is getting dark, and it will be dark in less than a quarter of an hour. Qianye sat on the high seat with his eyes lowered, as if sleeping but not sleeping, quietly waiting for the time to pass. The heads of the families didn't say anything either. They all fell into meditation like old monks and waited quietly without saying a word.

As the last ray of sky disappeared from the horizon, the harsh sound of brakes sounded outside the door. Before the sound stopped, two figures had crossed the palace wall and appeared directly at the door of the hall. They stepped into the meeting hall with steady steps, but the sight of them jumping over the wall and entering directly before they could even wait for the door revealed their inner anxiety.

"The Lu family, Lu Dinghan, pays homage to Lord Qianye."

"The Sun family's grandson sent word to pay homage to Lord Qianye."

The family heads suddenly became restless again. The Lu and Sun families are still ranked above the Gao family in Tingchao City, firmly among the top five families. They came in a hurry, and it goes without saying that Gao Mingtang must have tipped off the news. However, it is very intriguing to hear that the Wu and Du families, the two largest families in Chaocheng City, have not yet arrived. It is not known whether they have not received news from Gao Mingtang or are not planning to show up.

The Du family is actually a relative of Du Yuan, but the master's mansion and the commander's mansion are not in the same place, so it is normal for them not to come. The Wu family also held many important positions, and its influence spread over half of Tingchao City. There were many powerful people in the family. The two daughters of the family were married to Zhang Buzhou's two nephews, which could be regarded as related.

As soon as Sun and Lu's family arrived, it became dark. The force lamps in the meeting hall and the city lord's mansion were lit one after another.

Qianye's eyes finally opened, he sat upright and said, "Since you're here, just stand there."

The two patriarchs showed that they were mentally prepared, showing that their kung fu was much better than before Gao Mingtang. There was no trace of annoyance on their faces. They greeted Gao Mingtang and stood next to him.

Qianye ordered: "It's almost time, close the door. If anyone comes again, they will not be seen."

The guards in the mansion immediately sent word out.

Originally, the gate and the gate tower were smashed by Qianye, but the city lord's mansion was designed as a fortress, with two floors like the city gate of Tingchao City. The combat-ready level was made of one-meter-wide alloy, which was usually kept on both sides. In the wall of the mansion, except for a few wall bricks that exposed the metal door, which looked a bit miserable, the tracks and mechanical conveyor belts were all intact. When Qianye came in and out, he thought about it briefly. In the future, he could not destroy the place he wanted to occupy, even if it was only for temporary use.

At this moment, two small steam towers whistled, pushing the machinery, and the door of the mansion slowly closed.

Qianye waved, and a city guard officer came over and presented a map. The owner of the house nearby had sharp eyes and saw clearly that it was the map of Tingchao City.

Qianye glanced at the map and said: "Everyone, wait here for a while. I have some small things to do now. I will come back as soon as I go."

After that, he left without caring about the faces of the family heads after hearing this.

The meeting hall was silent for a moment. The heads of the families looked at me and I looked at you. They all didn’t know what Qianye was going to do. Even if I had some speculation in my mind, it still felt too ridiculous.

While waiting in the awkward silence, not long after, Qianye's figure suddenly appeared at the door of the meeting hall, and then with a flash of light, he sat down on the throne. He casually threw the two heads in front of the family heads and said, "But these two people?"

When the heads of the families saw the heads and faces clearly, they were instantly shocked, and some even exclaimed. In the sudden panic, some people had strange expressions on their faces. Qianye saw this in his eyes, pointed at Liu Minlun, and asked, "What's going on?"

Liu Minlun's face turned bitter, knowing that this was a mission to offend someone, but the place where he was sitting gave him no way to retreat. When he saw the two heads in the hall, he gritted his teeth, stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Sir, This person is Wu Chunlei, the head of the Wu family, but the other one is Du Xifei, the brother of the head of the Du family, not the head of the Du family, Du Xiyuan, who should not be in the city at the moment."

Qianye raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "So that's it. I took this Du out of the Du family's wife's room. I thought the person in the wife's room should be the head of the family. From this point of view, , but I took the lead.”

The heads of the families suddenly looked strange. They did not expect to hear such explosive news inadvertently.

Qianye ordered people to take away the two heads and said: "Anyway, it can be regarded as something gained. At least I got the head of the real master. As for Du Xiyuan, as long as he dares to listen back to Chaocheng, he will be dealt with sooner or later. Okay, don’t worry about him now, it’s late, it’s time to get down to business.”

All the family heads straightened their bodies and listened attentively. Even the three standing family heads in Gaomingtang leaned forward slightly, for fear of missing a word.

Qianye said slowly: "I heard that the Great Qin Emperor's army often has arrangements in neutral lands, and the East China Sea is no exception. Tingchao City is the largest city in the East China Sea, and there are secret military personnel in the city. I I know that many families have connections with him. What I want now is the heads of all An Zi!”

The family heads have changed their faces for who knows how many times today. Qianye’s words and deeds are all unexpected. Who would have thought that when Qianye came to listen to Chaocheng, he didn't mention resources or profits, but the first thing he asked was such a request.

This requirement is difficult to say, and easy to say. The key is that Qianye was fighting side by side with the empire not long ago, so how could he make such a request? Could it be that he was still testing everyone's loyalty?

Qianye saw their thoughts and said: "The empire is very big, and there are many factions and forces. It just so happens that the faction they set up in the neutral land has a deep hatred for me. Now I think it is time to clean up these unsightly things. . Then start with Tingchaocheng.”

At this point, he paused, looked around at the family heads, and said meaningfully: "I may cooperate with the Great Qin Empire, but you should never expect me to reconcile with this faction. Do you understand?"

The heads of the families felt awe-struck as they already understood Qianye's determination, but they also breathed a sigh of relief. If Qianye were to face off against the huge empire of Da Qin, there was no telling how many people would become cannon fodder, but personal grudges were different.

Sun Chuansheng, who was standing at the gate, cupped his hands and said, "Lord Qianye, there are some difficulties here. I don't know whether to talk about it or not?"

Qianye said: "No one is an outsider in this hall. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Sun Chuansheng said: "The Imperial Ministry does have several strongholds in the city, and we know a few of the people inside. But these strongholds were established with the tacit approval of King Zhang Tian, ​​and one of them was even taken directly by the King of Heaven. House. Does the King of Heaven know that you want to clean them up?"

Qianye said calmly: "I am the Lord of Tingchao City. As long as I do what I want, it doesn't matter what Zhang Buzhou thinks."

Sun Chuansheng's expression changed slightly and he said: "That's it, then Sun understands."

I know what I will do, but it’s hard to say. The other family heads were also silent. It was hard to say whether they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to join forces and fight against differences, or to delay the change.

Qianye said casually: "I know very well what you are thinking. But the two heads just now should make you understand that now is not the time to think about how to get through Zhang Buzhou. What you want to think about, How to pass the test here. If you can't pass the test in front of you, there is no need to think about Zhang Buzhou."

This is a threat.

The head of the Lu family, Lu Dinghan, took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Master Qianye, what you do is really embarrassing for us. Logically speaking, your position as city lord also comes from King Zhang Tian..."

Qianye raised his hand to stop him and said: "I got this city lord myself. Zhang Buzhou announced it, but it is different from him. You don't need to emphasize this to me now. In other words By the way, those many people pretended not to hear, are they trying to fight Zhang Buzhou?"

Seeing that his words were a bit stiff, Gao Mingtang quickly pulled Lu Dinghan and said to Qianye: "My lord, after all, King Zhang Tianwang is highly respected. What you did seems a bit... not thoughtful enough."

"It doesn't matter whether you are thorough or not. I just want to see people like the military disappear in a neutral place. As for other things, I don't consider them."

"Then, expel them?" Gao Mingtang asked cautiously.

"No, it must be uprooted, do you understand?"

All the family heads have seen the murderous intent in Qianye's eyes. Even the three members of the Lu family did not dare to say anything more. They looked at each other and remained silent.

Qianye scanned the audience and said calmly: "I don't want anything to go wrong in this matter. It's meaningless to me to hear what kind of relationship the families in Chaocheng originally had. If you really can't do it, Then it will be the same if I transfer troops from Nan Qingcheng."

The transfer of troops from Nanqing is a gesture. This has nothing to do with the military strength of Tingchao and Nanqing, but the result of Qianye's treatment of Tingchao City. This is undoubtedly a disaster for each family. The family heads did not dare to say any more and dispersed to make arrangements.

Under the night, several fires suddenly broke out in Tingchao City, and the flames shot straight into the sky. Several houses were reduced to ashes in the fire, and no one inside escaped.
