Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2598 Who Compromises First
The situation in Donghai County is not good.

However, the people of the four major families are very happy to see this situation.

In their view, the county government will be the first to compromise with them in order to settle the situation as soon as possible.

And as long as the county government compromises with them, the county government will have to pay more.

However, while they were waiting like this, their servants rushed over in a hurry.

"Master, it's not good, it's not good, the young master has been kidnapped."

"Master, it's not good, it's not good, the eldest lady has been kidnapped."

"…………"

Of the four major families, all relatives of the patriarchs were kidnapped, some were their sons, some were their grandsons, and so on.

So many people were kidnapped at once, the patriarchs of these four major families were stunned for a moment.

And when they understood what was going on, they were nervous at first, and then angry.

"It must have been done by the people of the county government. It's hateful, it's really hateful. As people in the government, it's really hateful for them to do such things."

"Who says no, it's too hateful, how disgusting they are, to be able to do such things."

"Yes, yes, they are simply too hateful, huh, really hateful."

All members of their four major families were kidnapped, so it is clear who did it.

"Several masters, the kidnappers said, we need everything to return to normal, otherwise they will kill those young masters and ladies."

Hearing this, the members of the four major families became more and more sure that the people from the county government did this.

But after knowing that the people from the county government did it, they were not particularly nervous.

"Everyone, you can rest assured that those people in the county government will not kill our people, so we don't have to worry too much, as long as we spend time with them, it will be fine if they can't hold it off first, or we can't hold it off first. .”

Zhu Changshou was very calm. He firmly believed that those people in the county government would not do anything to their family members. After all, people in the county government must pay attention to the law. Do they dare to kill people casually?

After Zhu Changshou said this, the others thought it made sense.

"That's right, that's right. If those people from the county government really kidnapped us, then we don't have to worry about it. When they can't last, they will naturally release them to compromise with us."

"Extremely, extremely yes, then let's wait."

The members of the four major families are still very calm, and they don't feel that their family members will be in any danger.

In this way, the people of the four major families did not move, and the situation in Donghai County naturally did not improve. Not only did it not improve, but it became worse and worse.

On the county government side, Qian Hai was in a hurry.

"Qin County Prime Minister, it's already this time. Have you come up with a solution? Is there any turning point here?"

Qin Wuyou frowned. It stands to reason that after all the members of the four major families were kidnapped, the patriarchs of the four major families should be very anxious. They are all their relatives and their foundation.

But they didn't do anything. This is really strange. It doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense.

After thinking about it, Qin Wuyou felt that they still thought that he was too easy to talk, and thought that he would not be able to do anything.
"Don't worry, magistrate, they will compromise within a day."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, how dare the lower officials lie to your lord."
-
Four big families.

Zhu Changshou and the others have been gathering together these days.

They are very united now, just waiting to compromise with the county government, and they are also worried about their family members, so they dare not leave.

And just as they got together like this, a servant hurried over.

"Master, it's not good, those helpers saw that we didn't act, so... they just killed one of us, and they told us that if we don't act again, then he will kill one person a day until we are willing to act will stop."

Hearing that a person had been killed, the members of the four major families were very nervous, and couldn't help asking quickly.

"Who killed who?"

"It's the young master of the Yu family."

Hearing that it was the young master of the Yu family, the patriarch of the Yu family wailed immediately, and then spit out a mouthful of blood.

"My son was harmed, my son was harmed..."

The head of the Yu family kept shouting like this. While some other patriarchs were mourning for the Yu family, some were also worried about their own family members. If this thief dared to kill the young master of the Yu family, he would definitely kill their people, right?

It would be bad if one of their men was killed.

They looked at each other, basically with such thoughts in mind.

"Everyone, what should we do in this situation?"

"Our family members are still in their hands. We want to ensure the safety of our family members, so let's do what they say."

"Yeah, I also think we should follow what they said. Let's all resume the opening of the store when we go back, otherwise we won't be able to afford it if people die again."

Everyone is worried and scared, and they all want to compromise.

However, Zhu Changshou stopped them suddenly.

"You can't do this, you can't compromise. People from the county government actually did such a thing. If we compromise, what is it? We should report this matter to the imperial court and let the court blame the county government."

In order to avenge his son, Zhu Changshou can be said to have worked very hard, but after he said these words, the other big families immediately became unhappy.

"You are really stupid to ask the court to question the county government. Are our four major families clean? If people from the court come, what benefits will our four major families have?"

"That's right, right now, our family members are in the hands of the kidnappers, and those kidnappers can do anything. If he kills again, our family members may die. That's our family members. We How can you put them in danger?"

People from other families were very opposed, so even if Zhu Changshou didn't want to compromise, there was nothing he could do. It was impossible for him to fight against the other three families.

Once they have a rift, they will not be able to unite in the future. If they do not unite, the influence of their four major families in Donghai County will also decrease, and it will naturally not be easy for them to do other things in the future.

"Everyone, even if we admit defeat this time, I can understand how you want to save your family members. Then this time we won't waste time with the county government. Wait for the next time, if the county government asks us four Where the big family is, we must not compromise again."

Zhu Changshou looked at everyone and said something, everyone looked at each other, then nodded: "This is natural, this is natural."
