Chapter 36: Resolving Stumbling Blocks
After Liang Xiujie sighed, he turned his gaze to the housekeeper who had been standing silently beside him.
"Go and invite the heads of the other three families now, and tell them that I have something important to discuss with them, and it's about that old fellow Song Wen."
Hearing this, a hint of hesitation flashed in the butler's eyes.
Although he longed for revenge, he knew deep down that once he took this step, there would be no turning back.
He had been using the Liang family's name to oppress the people for so many years. If he failed, he would definitely be torn to pieces by these angry people.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but whispered a reminder: "Master, shouldn't we be more cautious about this matter? After all, that old guy is still the governor of a place. If we attack him..."
Liang Xiujie glanced at him, a hint of impatience in his eyes.
"So what if he is the governor!"
"It's not like we haven't dealt with him before. Now that the four of us have joined forces, can't we deal with him? Hurry up and do it. Stop talking so much."
Faced with Liang Xiujie's resolute attitude, the housekeeper didn't say anything more.
After all, over the years, these four major families have joined forces to solve many problems and deal with many disobedient people or forces. I think this time is no exception.
The butler nodded respectfully, then said, "I understand. Master, I'll go now."
After saying this, he turned and left the room with firm and quick steps.
Liang Xiujie looked at the butler's departing back, and the expression on his face gradually relaxed.
He slowly stood up and walked to the fish pond.
Then he reached out and grabbed a handful of feed and slowly scattered it into the fish pond.
Looking at the goldfish scrambling for food, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, but his eyes revealed a hint of coldness and calculation.
"Since you, old fellow Song Wen, are unwilling to listen to us, we will have no choice but to replace you with someone who will obey us."
Liang Xiujie murmured to himself, his voice was soft but full of determination.
As the last bit of food was thrown into the water, the goldfish continued to jump happily, as if nothing had happened.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from not far away, interrupting the head of the family's thoughts.
He looked up and saw the butler walking in with the other three family heads.
One is Huang Silang, the head of the Huang family, one is Chen Chang, the head of the Chen family, and the other is Yang Jin, the head of the Yang family.
When seeing Liang Xiujie, a thin middle-aged man behind the housekeeper suddenly laughed and said, "I didn't expect that you, Master Liang, would still have the leisure to feed the fish here."
"I heard you went to discuss cooperation with a foreign businessman, but was rejected and humiliated!"
After saying this, he burst into laughter, and the laughter was full of provocation and ridicule.
The smile on Liang Xiujie's face froze for a moment, and a hint of anger and murderous intent flashed in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed these emotions.
He pretended to be calm and said with a smile: "Master Chen is really joking. He is just a country bumpkin from outside the province. He is a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger. He will learn his lesson soon."
Although his words were light-hearted, there was an undisguised coldness in his tone.
At this moment, Huang Silang said, "Okay, let's stop talking nonsense here and get down to business."
Hearing Huang Silang's words, Liang Xiujie nodded and then restrained his smile.
"Everyone, please follow me to the study."
As he spoke, he turned and walked towards the study, and sent all the servants away to ensure that their subsequent conversation would not be leaked.
As soon as he sat down, Yang Jin asked impatiently, "Master Liang, you asked us to come here to discuss how to deal with that old guy, but have you come up with any ideas?"
There was obvious anxiety and dissatisfaction in his tone, and he seemed to have high expectations for this call.
Hearing his words, Liang Xiujie shook his head.
His action was like throwing a cold stone into the lake, instantly causing ripples.
The expressions on everyone's faces instantly turned gloomy, and the atmosphere became extremely solemn.
Chen Chang, who had just mocked Liang Xiujie, said without hesitation: "You have no other options, so you called us here. Are you planning to play a trick on us?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the other two family heads present also cast their eyes over, staring at Liang Xiujie intently, as if trying to figure out something from his reaction.
Liang Xiujie frowned at everyone's gaze, then said, "If the four of us unite together, it would be easy to get rid of a governor! Everyone, don't be so nervous!"
There was a hint of displeasure in his voice, and he was obviously dissatisfied with everyone's doubts.
Hearing his words, Huang Silang snorted coldly, and then said: "But the problem is that old fellow Song Wen is not an ordinary governor, otherwise we would have gotten rid of him long ago, and he would not be able to stay until now!"
After these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room became even more solemn.
Liang Xiujie slowly said: "Actually, I already have a plan and I plan to discuss it with you all."
This sentence once again attracted the attention of the three family heads. They all turned their eyes to the family head, waiting for his next words.
Seeing their expectant eyes, Liang Xiujie immediately told them his plan.
After hearing his plan, the other three family heads all showed bright smiles on their faces.
Yang Jin said to him, "You are indeed the most treacherous person among us! If we do as you say, that old man will definitely die without a burial place."
Liang Xiujie smiled indifferently after hearing this, and then said: "We have already given that old guy a chance, but he didn't accept the olive branch we extended."
"For such ignorant people, I think we should get rid of them as soon as possible, so as not to prevent them from blocking us from making money."
After he finished speaking, everyone else burst into laughter and said, "That's right! You're right!"
Huang Silang added, "Yes, since he's unwilling to cooperate, don't blame us for being rude. This time, we must let him know how powerful we are!"
Yang Jin nodded in agreement: "Yes, we must make him understand who has the final say here."
At this time, Chen Chang proposed how to distribute the benefits after Song Wen was dealt with.
When this point was brought up, everyone present looked at each other with vigilance in their eyes.
They immediately started arguing about this matter, and for a moment the study became like a vegetable market.
"We will split it equally among the four of us!"
Huang Silang spoke first.
"Why should we share it equally? We contributed the most!"
Yang Jin immediately retorted.
"Don't forget, without our family's support, you can't do anything to that old guy!"
Not to be outdone, Chen Chang joined the debate.
"Stop arguing!"
Liang Xiujie finally spoke at this time.
"We should unite now and deal with that old guy first."
"As for the distribution of benefits, we can determine it based on each family's contribution."
After hearing Liang Xiujie's words, the other three calmed down a little, but still looked dissatisfied.
After intense discussions and compromises, a preliminary agreement was finally reached: the benefits would be distributed according to each party's contribution to the action.
The quarrel lasted for a long time before it stopped. The four people who had reached an agreement were all smiling.
After the discussion, the three family heads left one after another.
After they left, the smile on Liang Xiujie's face disappeared instantly, replaced by a cold and gloomy look.
Then he glanced at the butler beside him.
Noticing his gaze, the butler quickly stepped forward and whispered in his ear, "Master, do you have any instructions?"
Hearing his words, Liang Xiujie nodded, and then said: "Although dealing with Song Wen is the top priority now, that damn brat can't be let go!"
"He dared to make me look so ugly. I absolutely cannot let him go."
Hearing these words, the butler couldn't help but feel ecstatic.
After all, he and Zhang Liang also had a grudge. If Zhang Liang ran away before he could take revenge, he would feel uncomfortable for the rest of his life.
"Master, I understand."
The butler responded respectfully, "I will arrange for personnel as soon as possible to ensure that the brat has nowhere to escape."
Liang Xiujie nodded with satisfaction, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you."
"Remember, don't leave any traces. I want that kid to disappear quietly."
"Yes, sir, I promise to satisfy you."
The butler lowered his head and answered, but a surge of excitement surged in his heart.
Finally, he had the chance to take revenge on the boy who had brought shame upon him. This time, he had to do it cleanly and efficiently, leaving no future troubles.
At this time, Huang Silang also knew who had killed those people outside his city.
"How can this be such a coincidence? If that's the case, then let's help Liang Xiujie!"
