Chapter 133 3 big families
"The three major families of Nanshan Province, Tang, Wang, and Dou?" Fang Jian frowned, vaguely feeling that they came here because of something related to the Jinhong Society.
There are five major families in Nanshan Province, namely Tang, Wang, Dou, Chen and Song.
Not only in the previous dynasty, but even in the Da Chong Dynasty before Da'an, the five major families had considerable influence in Nanshan and had been passed down for nearly five hundred years.
Tao Wenliang sneered and said, "Let them wait first."
"Jiwu, you also need to cooperate with tomorrow's newspaper propaganda and the identification of members of the Golden Red Society in Nanling City."
Although most of the members of the Golden Red Society were concentrated in a few main streets near the headquarters and the army suppressed the situation in a timely manner, some of them still escaped during the crackdown.
Francis Xavier's attitude towards these people is that they should at least be arrested and educated. Even if people who have been involved in gangs are allowed to return to normal life, without a profound lesson, they will still have a perverse personality and a violent temper.
Of course, Francis Xavier’s ideal method of education is to do hard labor for ten years first, and then receive ideological education.
He believed that after education, these people's tempers would be much more restrained. If they really refused to change after repeated education, they would continue to work as coolies. Anyway, Nanshan Province was in a state of disrepair and lacked labor.
"Yes, Commander." Zhuang Jiwu responded and went out to entertain the patriarchs of the three major families.
After Zhuang Jiwu left, Tao Yunong looked worried and said, "Commander, these three families are here with ill intentions. Should we take action first?"
While saying this, Tao Yunong also made a gesture of wiping his neck.
"We are not feudal remnants. We must learn democracy. And now that we have dealt with these people, we do not have enough administrative personnel to stabilize Nanshan Province." Fang Jian shook his head slightly and said unhappily.
"Besides, to deal with them, we also need to find evidence of their crimes so that others can't accuse us."
Tao Yunong immediately understood and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Commander, I understand."
Isn't it just about finding evidence of these people's crimes? He is good at this. If he can't find evidence, he can at least fabricate it.
Of course, it is definitely not about fabricating false evidence. That is too low-level. For intelligence officers like Tao Yunong, setting a trap is too easy.
"Everyone, please wait a moment. The commander is handling official business and will meet with you in a moment." Zhuang Jiwu came to the side hall and spoke relatively politely.
Tang Houyong, the head of the Tang family, said dissatisfiedly: "What official business is more important than meeting with us?"
"Old Tang, don't take yourself too seriously. Maybe in the eyes of Governor Fang, we are not worth mentioning." Dou Dexu, the head of the Dou family, said sarcastically.
When saying this, Dou Dexu looked at Zhuang Jiwu intentionally or unintentionally, and Zhuang Jiwu's face looked very ugly.
Do these big families really think of themselves as big shots? To be frank, although they have influence, what can they actually do except make Nanshan a little uneasy?
The commander only temporarily moved against you for the sake of stability, but you guys really think you are the boss?
To put it bluntly, you have people and influence, but without weapons to protect yourself, you are nothing but fish at the mercy of others.
Even if you have people, can you have as many as the Golden Red Society? They gathered 20,000 people in Nanling City, but weren't they easily wiped out?
You do have people, but more than 20,000 of them? If we really want to wipe you out, just sending out a small force will be enough.
However, if we wipe them out easily, it will cause some unrest and harm many innocent people.
Moreover, your unrest will affect the people's spring ploughing and autumn harvest and cause bad consequences. We are only not taking action against you temporarily in order to maintain stability.
Various thoughts flashed through his mind. Zhuang Jiwu suppressed his displeasure and forced a smile: "As local gentry, the heads of the families are extremely important, but the commander is responsible for the stability of Nanshan Province and has a lot of official duties."
"You don't want to neglect the important affairs of Nanshan Province because of trivial matters."
"you……"
Tang Houyong was about to explode in anger, but was stopped by Wang Cenyuan, the head of the Wang family, who was standing beside him: "Old Tang, okay, since Governor Fang has something important to do, it's okay for us to wait."
After saying this, Wang Cenyuan sat aside calmly, watching his nose and his heart, as if nothing had anything to do with him.
With Wang Cenyuan's dissuasion, Tang Houyong shut up angrily, but still glared at Zhuang Jiwu with vicious eyes.
Seeing this, Dou Dexu, who was standing by, had a strange look in his eyes. He picked up the teacup beside him and began to sip the tea.
After leaving them alone for more than half an hour, Fang Jianan said to Zhang Sheng beside him, "Zhang Sheng, go and invite those family heads over."
"Yes, Commander." Zhang Sheng immediately walked out of the office to convey the order.
In the side hall, Tang Houyong heard that the commander had summoned him, and he said dissatisfiedly: "What? Let us follow you? Why don't you come to greet us?"
In Tang Houyong's opinion, as a local wealthy family, Ma Jincen had always been polite and personally greeted him when he saw him before.
This new governor was just terrible. When we came to ask to see him, he not only ignored us for a long time, but also didn't come to greet us personally. It seemed that he didn't take us seriously at all.
"Yes, Mr. Tang is an elder and a juren from the previous dynasty. General Fang's arrogance really opens our eyes." Dou Dexu also said from the side.
Faced with the two men's sarcastic and unkind words, Zhang Sheng clenched his fists. If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, he would have rushed up and beat these people up. He didn't have a good temper.
Zhuang Jiwu also had a gloomy expression, but considering the overall situation, he did not say anything.
Wang Cenyuan on the side immediately comforted him: "Okay, General Fang is busy with official duties, we will bear more responsibility."
Thanks to Wang Cenyuan's mediation, the two finally gave up.
"Commander." A group of people came to the outside of Fang Jian'an's office. Zhang Sheng stopped in front of him, knocked on the door and shouted.
Fang Jian was browsing the documents on the table. He said without even looking up, "Come in."
After Zhang Sheng entered the office, he stood beside Fang Ji'an to protect him, while Zhuang Jiwu made a gesture for them to come in and led the three of them into the office.
"Commander, the heads of the three families are here." Zhuang Jiwu then introduced the names of several people to Fang Jianan one by one.
Fang Jian then put down the documents in his hand and looked at the three people. He did not stand up, but sat on the chair and said, "Nice to meet you. I wonder what the three of you are here for?"
Tang Houyong was very dissatisfied with Fang Jian's attitude, but he did not lose his temper.
If he really made a scene in front of Francis Xavier, he would be the one who would suffer. The reason why he showed dissatisfaction in front of his subordinates was just to express his attitude.
Dou Dexu on the side looked at Fang Jian with deep eyes and curiosity.
Wang Cenyuan, who was at the front of the three, said slowly, "General Fang, this incident today has caused a huge uproar and has made the people of Nanshan Province very uneasy."
"We are here to ask what Governor Fang is planning to do and whether it will cause the unrest to continue."
Fang Jian chuckled: "I'm afraid there is something wrong with what you said, old sir. It's not that I want to do anything, but you need to figure out what happened today."
"Didn't the commander-in-chief suddenly take action against Jin Honghui?" Tang Houyong couldn't help but spoke out in a hot temper.
