In the book, the princess of the fallen country saved the country by eating melons

"I called you here so late because my nephew died in front of me, and I was powerless to stop it."

When he said this, the other six families widened their eyes in shock.

what?

Pang Wenyuan's nephew, who was doted on like a treasure, died, but they didn't hear who killed him.

"Mr. Pang, what's going on? Didn't I see him walking on the street this afternoon? How come in the evening..."

The head of the Tang family looked confused.

Which deity did Pang Wenyuan offend that someone would kill his nephew in front of him and he was powerless to stop it.

"Master Pang, what is going on here? How could someone dare to kill your nephew in front of you?"

"You didn't lie to us."

The head of the Qi family sat below Pang Wenyuan and said with a skeptical look on his face.

Seeing that everyone was unwilling to believe him, Pang Wenyuan put the teacup in his hand on the small table next to him with a sad look on his face.

"Lie to you? You know I treat Ren'er like my own son, so why would I use my nephew's life to lie to you?

Ren'er's body is still lying on his bed and has not been put in a coffin. If you don't believe it, you can go and see it now.

Also, if it was someone from Hezhou who killed him, why would I not dare to take revenge? It was that person who killed Ren'er."

The head of the family present stood up from his seat in shock.

The expressions on their faces were different, and the reactions were varied.

"Master Pang, your news is really hurtful. And how can you be sure that it must be him? We haven't received any news at all."

The head of the Ma family was so frightened that his face turned pale. He slumped in his chair and asked in a stern voice.

"How do I know? I went to see him today and found out it was him."

Pang Wenyuan's expression was somewhat distorted.

"How come there is no news about that person who came here? It seems that he is deliberately hiding it from us in Hezhou."

The patriarch of the Li family stroked his beard calmly and said as if he saw through everything.

Qi Jia rolled his eyes at him and said, "You are talking nonsense. Everyone here knows that."

"What happened to Ren'er today was a warning from that person to us."

The head of the Bai family looked frightened, somewhat worried that the Bai family would be destroyed because of him.

"However, when I went there today, I found him alone with a child, accompanied by a eunuch and the Cheng brothers, the bandits from Niutou Mountain."

"That eunuch still has some military power, but it is not impossible to keep them in Hezhou by combining the strength of several of our families."

Pang Wenyuan had a sinister look on his face. He didn't care whether that person was important or not, nor did he want to consider what would become of Beiyun after that person's death.

He just wanted to avenge his nephew.

The head of the Qi family narrowed his eyes.

"Master Pang, do you mean that we can take action? But what if we fail?"

"And I heard from people in the capital that there is a master who is comparable to the leader of the martial arts world beside him. His name seems to be Li Desheng. I don't know if that eunuch is him."

The head of the Tang family stood up and gave everyone a mocking smile.

"Failure? If we fail, we're done. Don't forget that except for the Cheng family, the other seven great families all prosper together and suffer together."

"By then, the Cheng family will be the only one in power, and it will be difficult for people like us to even have a bite of soup."

"Even if there is such a person by his side, there is only one person. Can't we beat him with so many people?"

The Patriarch of the Bai family looked terrified and shrank into his chair.

The head of the Ma family looked at the head of the Bai family with disdain, this guy is really a useless piece of shit.

It was a waste for the Bai family to hand it over to him.

Suddenly, he saw a hint of malice flash in the eyes of the head of the Bai family.

Then he thought again, the Bai family still has an old lady in charge.

The old lady is not someone who is easy to deal with either. We should wait until she dies before making any plans. By then, without the old lady, the Bai family will be in disarray.

The Patriarch of the Bai family understood what he meant at a glance, and huddled himself shudderingly, his expression becoming even more sorrowful.

This person wants to covet the Bai family's foundation.

The Ma family is so powerful, how can he protect the Bai family?

"Master Ma, please calm down. We are still thinking about how to give an explanation to that person. Once we have dealt with this, we have no objection to you thinking about other things."

When the head of the Bai family heard what the head of the Qi family said, he suddenly felt creepy and his hair stood on end.

He felt a little desperate for a moment. These heads of noble families were not easy to deal with. He wondered if he had made a mistake by not listening to his grandmother's advice and insisting on boarding this pirate ship.

But when these people invited him, they made all kinds of exaggerated statements, saying that if he joined them, he would have the support of Pang Wenyuan, the governor of Hezhou.

In the future, he will be able to walk around Hezhou City with all his might. He also said that the seven major families will be of the same blood in the future, and any family will help each other when they are in trouble.

He told him not to be as stubborn as the Cheng family, as his family was having a hard time making ends meet in Hezhou City.

He was not a strong and decisive person. He was tempted at the moment and was afraid that he would not be able to protect the Bai family's property, so he agreed on his own without listening to his grandmother's advice.

Now it seems that he should not have made the decision on his own. These families don't seem like the ones who would truly help him. They would only add insult to injury when he is in trouble and devour the Bai family.

Now he wants to get off the pirate ship but he doesn’t know if it’s too late.

The head of the Bai family had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and the sadness on his face became more and more obvious.

"How about this, tomorrow morning, the heads of several of our families will go and test that person first to see what his attitude is. We will come back and make a decision later."

The head of the Lin family paused in turning the jade beads in his hand and offered his own suggestion.

The other families thought about it carefully and decided that they shouldn't make a decision in a hurry.

Let's go check it out tomorrow.

What if that person just came here for fun? Their families are not as excessive as the Pang family, so it shouldn't be a big deal.

And if they show their faces to him tomorrow, he will let them go to the capital to develop their careers because they are relatively well-behaved.

No matter how much these noble families can get in Hezhou, it is limited to Hezhou and the surrounding counties. It is not easy for them to reach out to the capital.

Pang Wenyuan sat in the main seat, looking indifferent. Seeing that everyone had already discussed it, he did not say anything.

He thought these people could make a decision tonight, but he really overestimated their courage.

A bunch of bullies who only fear the strong.

But fortunately, the seeds have been planted, and it depends on whether the results these people get tomorrow will be good or bad.

The heads of the six great families discussed a strategy and realized it was getting late.

They all stood up and bowed to say goodbye.

"Master Pang, let's go and test his attitude tomorrow to see if we can get anything out of him. It's getting late today, so we'll get up and leave first."

Seeing that they were all saying goodbye, Pang Wenyuan stood up and saw them out of the conference room with a smile on his face.
