After this person finished speaking, the rest of the people also echoed their words.

Li Qiufeng shrunk into the corner under the bed, only to feel that the dust around him was rising, constantly pouring into his eyes, nose, and mouth. He had to close his eyes, hold his breath, and secretly thought to himself, listening to the tone of these people's words, it seemed that they were all from the Nie family. The group went to the old man's house to discuss things, but where did the old man go?

I only heard Nie Dingnan say: "A few brothers, you can't say that." Our five families, Nie, Lu, Zhao, Du, and Hua, have been living here since 700 years ago, and they can be called living and dying together, and they are a little closer than their own brothers. If it weren't for the fact that the Xu family came out later, we could be at ease and be a Tao Yuanming who doesn't ask about mundane things in the world. Since the five of our families were killed by the Xu family, forcing the ancestors to deal with them with all their might, there have been countless bloody battles in the past few hundred years to have today's situation. Not to mention the Hua family, the remaining four families went all out when they confronted the Xu family, and there was not a single miscellaneous. Not to mention far away, let's just say that in the battle in Haizhou a few months ago, more than 20 children of our Nie family died, and there were also many casualties among the Lu, Zhao, and Du families. At the moment, although it is said that the great enemy has been eliminated by us, but between the four families, it cannot be divided in this life. ”

But I heard a person sneer: "Fourth Brother Nie, I'm afraid that others don't think like this! The younger brother has heard a long time ago, Second Uncle Lu has spent a lot of money behind his back over the years, and he has been working up and down the capital, from the internal prison to the sixth department, there are his people. ”

This person's voice fell, but he heard another person say disdainfully: "No matter how much money he spends, it's useless!" Han Qusi has that little ability, and he can't understand what he can do as a prefect of Luoyang, so he relies on Brother Nie to do everything for him, otherwise he would have capsized the boat a long time ago." In the past two years, the governor of Henan, Yamen, wanted to win his position as the prefect of Luoyang several times, but it was Brother Nie who worked up and down to keep his position as prefect. Uncle Lu Er's mind is so bothered, I'm afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty. ”

The previous man said: "Sixth, if you don't say that you are rude and reckless, you are superficial. How do you know that it is Han Qusi who Uncle Lu is going to support the upper position? In the first battle of Haizhou, the Du and Zhao families suffered heavy casualties, and it is no longer a climate. But the Lu family only had more than 20 people dead, and they were all small. I see that Second Uncle Lu has always been disobedient to our Uncle Nie over the years, secretly accumulating strength, but he may not have any good intentions. ”

This person's voice fell, and he only heard Nie Dingnan say: "Fifth brother, Second Uncle Lu is not easy to mess with, even my father has to let him have a few points." If he knows that you are arranging him like this behind his back, and when the time comes, it will be difficult to settle accounts with you. ”

The man sneered and said, "Fourth brother, every word I said has a source, and there is absolutely no falsehood. ”

When he said this, he paused slightly, and then continued: "Uncle Nie is fair, and we are all convinced. However, as a junior, the younger brother has never understood why he wants to suppress the children of our Nie family? Take the Zhao family as an example, all of them have been straw bales in these generations, but Uncle Nie spent a lot of money to push a rough man like Hu Kun to the position of commander of Ruyangwei, and he is the biggest official of our five families in Henan at the moment. Needless to say, the Lu family became the prefect, and several children of the Lu family became the prefect. I look at it in a few years, but I'm afraid that half of the territory in Henan is the Lu family. The Du family was not prosperous in the first place, and Uncle Nie asked Huang Chong to be the magistrate of Xiuwu County, which could be regarded as giving him a place to live. But I've heard that Huang Chong has always been disgruntled, thinking that Uncle Nie suppressed him. And he has no children under his knees, only one daughter, and he is worried all day long, worried that no one will inherit the incense of the Du family, and he will end up like the Hua family. In fact, he didn't know, just with his little ability, being a magistrate was already exalting him.

"But look at our Nie family children again. Brother Dingzhong is the most outstanding one of our generation, he has a strategy in his chest, and he is a general, but he can only hide in the yamen of the Luoyang prefect and be a master who cannot be on the stage. Although Baixing's conduct is poor, he is also quite wise, and the nickname of Xiao Zhuge is not called in vain. The reason why he desperately grabbed the silver was also because Uncle Nie only asked him to be a small master of the Yamen of Xiuwu County, and he was dissatisfied in his heart, so he looted it on a large scale. With his talent, not to mention Huang Chong, even Han Qusi is far from being able to compare. If he gets off the field, it will not be difficult to order Hanlin.

"Let's talk about a few of us. Lao Liu is a peanut seller, who is busy all over Henan all day long, bargaining with some old men in the village. He was only thirty-five years old, but he looked like an old man in his fifties or sixties. Lao Qi was in Luoyang City to treat people and horses, smelling the stench of fishy and foul smell every day, and he didn't look like a human being. Lao Ba worked as a bricklayer in Kaifeng, and last year because a rain destroyed the green bricks to be sent to the city wall of the capital, and suffered from 20 large boards, and fell into a problem of back pain. Needless to say, Lao Jiu sells livestock outside the customs and can't see each other for a few years......"

Before this person's words fell, he heard Nie Dingnan sneer: "Old Five, you haven't said yourself yet? You can read a thousand words at the age of two, make an article at the age of five, and get a praise from Henan Xuezheng Chrysostom at the age of nine, saying that you are a rare talent in a thousand years, and you will eventually become a Henan literary courage." It's just that over the years, my father has not allowed you to take the exam, because you can only be a private school teacher, and I am quite dissatisfied, yes or no?"

After Nie Dingnan finished speaking, there was silence in the room, as if a needle could be heard if it fell to the ground. Li Qiufeng held his breath, for fear that he would accidentally be discovered by these people. He was not worried that his martial arts would be inferior to Nie Dingnan and the others, but because he was bent on finding out what secrets were hidden in Fengmen Village. It's just that although Ji Dingzhong, Hu Kun, Han Qusi and others are not high in martial arts, they are all cunning and scheming, and they are all people in the government, and if they want to force them to tell their secrets, they are afraid that it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky. But today, by chance, I accidentally hid under the bed, but I could hear these people secretly deliberating. This is easier to find out the secrets than to arrest these people and interrogate them yourself. It was because he saved 10,000 cautions for fear of revealing his whereabouts.

I only heard the fifth brother say: "The fourth brother has wronged his younger brother by saying this." Uncle Nie is the leader of our Nie family, and he is fair, and we all respect him. His old man had six sons and one daughter, and his sixth brother died early, so let's not talk about it for the time being. The second brother Dingdong, the third brother Dingxi, and the fifth brother Dingbei all died in the hands of the Xu family for the sake of our Nie family. The other rooms of our Nie family are well aware of this matter. Slowly, Uncle Nie wants his younger brother to be a private school teacher, which means that he wants his younger brother's life, and his younger brother will send him out without even blinking an eye. The younger brother just didn't understand why Uncle Nie gave all the benefits to the Lu, Zhao, and Du families, and let the children of the three families be officials and make fortunes, but the children of our Nie family can only swallow their anger one by one? Fourth brother might as well think about it, just more than 200 years ago, when the five families were discussing together, how many ministers and generals did the children of our Nie family have, and how many wealthy gentry did the children of our Nie family have? Why was the Nie family promoted to be the leader of the five families, but the status of the children of our Nie family plummeted. It's not even a matter of thinking about being an official, and even being a rich man has become a luxury. However, the children of the Lu, Zhao, Du, and Hua families have developed one by one, not to mention being promoted and making a fortune, and they are even more proud in front of the children of our Nie family. When I was in Xiuwu County last night, the Baixing brothers personally told me that Huang Chong dared to point fingers at him now, and this is worth it?!"

Li Qiufeng listened to these people, and thought to himself, it turned out that these people were all children of the Nie family. It seems that the five families of Nie, Lu, Du, Zhao, and Hua were originally equal, but although the Nie family became the leader later, they were very strict with the children of the Nie family, and these people were dissatisfied. However, looking at the appearance of Ji Dingzhong and Zhang Baixing, although Han Qusi and Huang Chong are nominally the owners of the two, they have to be held hostage by the two. This Nie Lao Wu is so indignant, most likely because he only let him be a private school teacher, so he is so annoyed.

While he was thinking about it, he only heard everyone talking, and they were all extremely dissatisfied with the suppression of the Nie family's children. At this moment, I suddenly heard a cough from outside the house. Everyone immediately stopped, and the inside and outside of the house suddenly fell silent. After a while, I only heard Nie Dingnan say: "The old man is back, you brothers have something, just tell the old man." ”

Nie Dingnan's voice fell, and he only heard a "squeak", thinking that the door had been pushed open. Then there was a sound of tables and chairs moving, and then I heard Nie Lao Wu say: "Uncle Nie is good." After not seeing him for many days, Uncle Nie became more and more healthy. ”

I only heard an old voice say: "Old Five, you are a sycophant in front of you." I look like this, I'm afraid that if a gust of wind blows, I can drop a dog and chew, and you still say that I am getting more and more healthy, isn't this scolding the bald man in front of the monk?"

Nie Lao Wu didn't dare to say yes, and the rest of the people also greeted that person one after another. Li Qiufeng had already heard that this person was the voice of the old man last night, and thought to himself: "This old guy doesn't know where he went, but he happened to come back at this time." These people are talking vigorously, but they are afraid that as soon as the old guy arrives, this group of people will not dare to speak as openly as Fang Cai. It's a pity, it's a pity. ”
