After saying that, Fan Zhe walked straight to Xiao Yu's left and sat down, as if he was the master's house.

Seeing this scene, the remaining people looked at me, and I saw that you were a little at a loss.

The intention is obvious, and Fan Zhe is challenging the leadership of the Xiao family.

Whether it is the Xiao family or the Fan family, they are all giants in Jiangnan, and they are not able to afford them at all, so everyone didn't say a word, obviously trying to wait and see what happened.

Of course, Xiao Yu could see through these people's thoughts. He looked at Fan Zhe coldly and ignored him. He said in a deep voice to the people below: "All the rich families in Jiangnan, there is nothing wrong with planning for their descendants."

"Mr. Xiao doesn't want to pretend to be hypocritical, nor does he want to say anything about official positions. However, in addition to being the Jiangnan gentry, Jiangnan is also the Jiangnan of the Tang Dynasty, and also the Jiangnan of the people of the Tang Dynasty. Everyone must recognize this consensus."

"To think that Xiao's family has a lot of friendship with you, today Xiao deliberately invites everyone to discuss."

"But if you don't want to listen to Xiao's advice, you can leave now. But if some people want to bring Jiangnan into a huge wave for their own selfish interests, and put all the Jiangnan gentry into a terrible place, I, Xiao Yu, will not agree!"

Hearing this, everyone in the hall was surprised.

Although I knew that Xiao Yu was forced to come to Jiangnan by the emperor, I didn’t expect that his attitude was so firm!

But if Yang Fan is allowed to establish himself in Jiangnan, they will definitely lose a lot of benefits.

But if we continue to stop, we are afraid that the court will send a large army south to wipe out the gentry in Jiangnan as Xiao Yu said.

For a moment, everyone was in a dilemma.

Fan Zhe was a little dissatisfied with Xiao Yu's words and sarcastically said, "Duke Song is really awesome, right? Jiangnan is far away from the center and has been a place where we have reproduced for generations since ancient times. It should belong to us, so why should we obey the orders of the court?"

"In the past, we could turn a blind eye to the court without interfering in Jiangnan, but now the court actually wants to take away our wealth. Everyone here will not agree, and Mr. Fan disagrees even more."

A middle-aged man in the hall also stood up and said, "Duke Fan, according to my opinion, Duke Song has lived in the capital for many years and has forgotten that he is from Jiangnan, and that the ancestors of Xiao family developed in Jiangnan. It is not surprising that he has forgotten the clan's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect'!"

This is a naked scolding Xiao Yu for forgetting his roots.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked!

Xiao Yu was so angry that his lungs were almost irritated. He stared at the middle-aged man fiercely and said gloomyly: "Lin Yu, even if your father dares to be so arrogant in front of me, you dare to bark in front of me. Do you really think your Lin family can cover the sky with one hand in Jiangnan?"

Lin Yu is the younger brother of the head of the Lin family.

Originally, this time I invited the patriarchs of various major families to come, and the Lin family sent an irrelevant person to come, but I didn't expect to be so arrogant.

However, everyone present knows it.

Lin Yu dared to do this, but he just relied on Fan Zhe here.

This time, the two families of Yang Fan, Fan and Lin have made great contributions.

Others may be frightened by Fan, and the Lin family did not dare to say anything, but Jiang Hongfei, the Chang of the Jiang family, could not, and then sarcastically said: "Duke of Song, the Lin family has always been arrogant, but it is just a dog who relies on the power of others. Why should you be angry?"

Since he had decided to show goodwill to Xiao Yu to protect the Jiang family, there was naturally no politeness in his words.

Upon hearing Jiang Hongfei's words, Lin Yu immediately said furiously: "Old man Jiang, how dare he insult my family and seek death?"

Jiang Hongfei sneered without saying a word, as if you could do anything to me.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu sneered: "If a child from the Lin family does not respect himself, everyone will be humiliated. Come on, and detain this crazy and rude person for me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Xiao family guards came and dragged Lin Yu out with a confused look on his face.

As Lin Yu cursed, the loud noise gradually faded away.

Everyone came to their senses!

Especially Fan Zhe, his face turned pale at this time.

He didn't expect that Xiao Yu would dare to detain Lin Yu in front of many Jiangnan gentry leaders, and he simply did not take him seriously.

After staring at Xiao Yu coldly for a while, Fan Zhe said indifferently: "Mr. Xiao, although Lin Yu was wrong, he was also for the benefit of the Jiangnan gentry. If you detain him like this, your Xiao family is too arrogant. Do you really think that you can do whatever you want in your Xiao family territory?"

Xiao Yu raised his eyelids and said slowly: "The Lin family was crazy and provoked the court and even sent people to besiege the Jiangnan Grand Governor. This move was obviously intended to put the Jiangnan gentry into a state of disobedience."

"Mr. Xiao's move is to do justice and save the Jiangnan gentry from danger. From now on, my Xiao family and Lin family will be cut off with one sword, and they will never interact with each other when they die!"

The people present were silent for a moment and agreed with Xiao Yu's words.

If you can become the head of the family, no one present is a fool, nor is it comparable to those of impulsive and reckless people like Lin Yu. Naturally, you can see the intention of Xiao Yu's move.

Although Xiao Yu got angry on the grounds that Lin Yu was rude, he once again labeled Lin on the grounds of provoking the court.

It was because of the fact that Lin was charged with sending troops to attack Yang Fan.

When Xiao Yu went to Jiangnan, everyone present knew that he had to take the emperor's order, so he naturally wanted to find someone to take the blame.

No matter what the twists and turns are behind this, whoever participants must have the Lin clan.

Today, Xiao Yu invited several major gentry members in Jiangnan, obviously asking everyone to express their opinions.

Either they unite to kick out the unruly Jiangnan gentry, or they will bear the anger of the court.

Of course, no one objected to the sacrifice of a Lin family for their own interests.

Of course, except for the Lin family's alliance Fan Zhe.

But Fan Zhe could only swallow his anger at this time, after all, others were weak at this time.

However, his old eyes stared at Xiao Yu tightly, and he secretly decided in his heart that he would definitely make the Xiao family pay the price after a while.

Seeing this move as if he was shocking the mountain, Xiao Yu knocked on the case in front of him and said lightly: "Why are you short-sighted? Yang Fan's way to the south of the Yangtze River is the emperor's will. Even if you are unwilling to do something secretly, why do you believe someone's words and do such stupid things as attacking and killing court officials?"

"This time, Yang Fan not only united the Shanyue people, but also colluded with some officials in Jiangnan. The small Lin family is not as capable as this. I heard that the shadow of the Fan family is indispensable, so I wonder how Mr. Fan explained it?"

Seeing Xiao Yu being aggressive, Fan Zhe took control of the overall situation as soon as he came up. Not only did he want to take down the Lin family, but he also wanted his Fan family to take the blame. He immediately refuted: "Duke Song is simply killing a donkey. Although my Fan family cannot escape the matter of surrounding Yang Fan, I ask everyone here, who can wipe the shit on his butt?"

"Even if your Xiao family has paid a lot of money, you have put all the blame on Lin and Fan families. Do you really think that my Fan family is easy to bully?"

"You all here also know that everyone did not object to the siege and kill Yang Fan this time. Now that Xiao's family is in trouble, wouldn't it be contrary to morality?"

"If you don't do it, as long as Yang Fan dies, the emperor will not find any evidence of our attack. How can we convict us based on Xiao Yu's words?"

"What's more, the person who killed Yang Fan was done by the Shanyue people. What does it have to do with my Jiangnan gentry? If the emperor wants to take this crime to our Jiangnan gentry, he must have real evidence to accomplish it."

Xiao Yu's eyes swept across everyone, and then he smiled coldly: "The imperial court died in Jiangnan from the first-rank governor, and thousands of Shanyue people suddenly appeared in Suzhou. Not only did they not burn, kill, loot, but instead surrounded and killed Yang Fan. You said that this has nothing to do with you, who believes it?"

"Once you annoy the emperor, do you really need evidence? The blood of Xuanwu Sect is still warm, and the emperor dares to kill his brothers. Can you really be the emperor? "

"Everyone has a suspicion in Chang'an, so the situation in Guanzhong is naturally clear at a glance. If Yang Fan dies in Jiangnan, the Guanzhong army will definitely have a bloody storm. Please think carefully!"

Xiao Yu's words changed everyone present.

They didn't expect that Yang Fan was so important that he could make the emperor take revenge on the overall situation of the Eastern Expedition?

These words come from Xiao Yu, and we must not refuse to believe them!

Although Xiao Yu has been far away in the capital, the Xiao family is still the leader of the gentry in Jiangnan.

Over the years, it was precisely because of Xiao Yu's mediation that he balanced the relationship between the Jiangnan gentry and the court, and he had gained greater benefits for the Jiangnan gentry.

Now it seems that everyone's move has made the Jiangnan gentry step into the abyss with one foot.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Xiao Yu felt relieved and immediately said seriously: "Xiao only wants to say one thing. If you believe me, Xiao Yu, immediately stop any actions against Yang Fan. I don't care about any means in the future. As long as you don't hurt his life, you will let you do it."

"However, this matter is too big. A Lin family cannot bear such a crime. Everyone thinks about how to deal with it? I will say that, so you can do it yourself!"

Hearing this, Fan Zhe's expression was as ink.

It seems that Xiao Yu really wants him Fan to take the blame!

Fan Zhe couldn't help but ask in a deep voice: "Duke of Song wants to put all the blame on my Fan family?"

Xiao Yu smiled and said without any concealment: "This time the siege of Yang Fan is led by your Fan family. Everyone here has just made some money."

"Even if you pay, you are cheating that it was the help of Shanyue people. We don't know how to attack Yang Fan, so how can we shirk it?"

As soon as Xiao Yu said this, everyone was silent.

It is better to die than to die fellow Taoists!

As long as they don’t have to take the blame from their own family, they don’t care how Xiao Yu reports to the court!

What's more, as Xiao Yu said, they did not send out dead soldiers, they just spent some money!

Seeing the people present flirting with each other, Fan Zhe's expression changed drastically and said, "You are so heartless?"

Everyone was silent, but they all turned their eyes to Xiao Yu secretly.

Since a consensus was reached, Xiao Yu made a quick decision: "I guarantee with my personality that as long as Yang Fan does not die, everyone will be safe and worry-free. As for the Fan and Lin families, they will join forces with the Shanyue rebellion, and they will be punished. Come on, take down Fan Zhe, the head of the Fan family!"

Fan Zhe'an sat like a mountain, neither shocked nor afraid, with his eyelids hanging down, as if he could not hear Xiao Yu's words at all.

Xiao Yu noticed that the atmosphere was a little wrong!

Did Fan Zhe decide to surrender?

You should know that the Fan family has lived in Jiangnan for a long time, and this operation Fan Zhe has already won many gentry together, and he has the strength to compete with the Xiao family.

Just as the guard was about to catch Fan Zhe, the head of the Fan family sighed: "Why are you so stupid? You actually believe Xiao Yu's nonsense."

"It's too late for you to look back now. If I guess well, Yang Fan is dead now."

"As long as Yang Fan dies, we Jiangnan gentry will be grasshoppers on a rope, prospering and losing!

Only then did everyone react.

yes!
