The Uncle Ning who Zeng Huaiwu mentioned was Wang Ning, and he was a great deacon in the Zeng family's major industries. He is 65 years old this year and has served the Zeng family for forty years. He is loyal to the Zeng family. Everyone in the Zeng family respectfully calls him Uncle Ning.

He usually inspected all over Bashu. When Zeng Xiulin was arrested this time, he happened to be in Chengdu Prefecture. When the news of the search of Zeng Prefecture came out, the first thing Wang Ning did was to send a pigeon letter to inform the Zeng family in Chongning County, and then he hid down.

He had already contacted Zeng Huaiwu yesterday. In principle, he supported Zeng Huaiwu's plan to seize people. Wang Ning was a very pragmatic and calm person. He knew very well that the purpose of Li Yanqing's attack on the Zeng family was to control the wealth of Bashu to obtain military expenditure, while the Zeng family controlled nearly 40% of the wealth of the most prosperous Chengdu Prefecture Road. This is an irreconcilable conflict between the two sides. Li Yanqing would inevitably put Zeng Xiulin to death and seize all the wealth of the Zeng family.

Only when Zeng Xiulin survives can he have the chance to gain the support of the Supreme Emperor and win back this game, otherwise he will die and everything will be over.

The Sanchuan Cargo Store is located near Wuhou Temple. This is the Zeng family's water transportation business. The Zeng family has a fleet of three and four hundred cargo ships on the Minjiang River, as well as five special docks and nearly a hundred warehouses along the way. There are more than a thousand boatmen and sailors alone, and the Sanchuan Cargo Store is responsible for the overall dispatch.

At this moment, in a yard in the Sanchuan Goods Store, Wang Ning was distributing tasks to three martial artists. Wang Ning was a thin old man with white hair and beard, but he was in good spirits and spoke in a very lively manner.

"It's the third update tonight. We only target the head of our hometown. In fact, the Zeng clan members can ignore it for the time being. After they succeed, they immediately evacuate to the west gate. There are two key links here, attacking the government office and seizing the west gate."

Wang Ning spread a floor plan of the government office on the table, "This is the map of the government office. According to our latest information, the owner of the hometown was detained here!"

Wang Ning pointed to one of the small houses marked as red and continued: "This place is closer to the west door of the government office, so we must attack through the west door. Fortunately, your opponents are all women."

The three martial artists looked at each other in surprise. How could it be a woman?

Wang Ning smiled slightly and said, "In order to paralyze the head of the family, Li Yanqing only brought 500 female soldiers to the south this time. These 500 female soldiers were guards, and they were just the kind of rescued wounds. They were not considered formal soldiers. They were good at bandaging wounds, but they were far from fighting and shooting. This was also considered Li Yanqing's self-bound."

Because of the isolation of news, Wang Ning did not know about Heming Villa, otherwise he would never dare to say that Li Yanqing only brought five hundred female soldiers south.

The three martial artists were all family members trained by the Zeng family. They were all very skilled in martial arts and were very loyal to the Zeng family. They each had fifty dead soldiers under their command, responsible for protecting the Zeng family's property. Zeng Huaiwu really put his hopes on not the seven hundred Zhuang Dians, but the one hundred and fifty dead soldiers hiding in the city.

Wang Ning continued: "Li Yanqing only has 500 female soldiers to rely on, and these 500 female soldiers are deployed in scattered areas, with only 200 people in the government office and only 60 people in the Ximen. And we are 150 strong dead soldiers. Can we still not beat the 2600 delicate women?"

The three of them immediately became energetic. Wang Ning's words were like injecting chicken blood on them, which immediately made them full of confidence. They even began to consider whether to strictly enforce military discipline and not commit adultery on female soldiers taking the opportunity, so as not to miss the opportunity.

"This plan must be kept strictly confidential, and no leaks are allowed except for the confidant!" Wang Ning repeatedly instructed.

"Abide by the order!" The three of them stood up and bowed.

Wang Ning smiled and waved his hand, "Let's continue to discuss the details."

As soon as the sky was dark, the streets became deserted. The Twelve Tigers of Zengmen, who did not dare to cry at night, had already appeared outside the North City Gate, which brought great shock and panic to the people in the city. As soon as the sky was dark, every family closed its doors and the shops closed early, with dark clouds and dark lights, which made Chengdu County shrouded in a dark area.

At this time, Li Yanqing stood on the north city tower and observed the Zeng family army below. At dusk, he saw with his own eyes the "style" of the Zeng family village. Frankly speaking, 700 of them were pretty good, with neat teams and bright armors. It was obvious that they were well-trained, but this army always lacked one thing, and Li Yanqing finally understood that they lacked real murderous aura.

Although they are full of murderous aura now, it is actually just an appearance. The real murderous aura is the fierce aura emitted from the bones. This will only be achieved through the test of bloody war. The land of Bashu has not experienced war since the founding of the Song Dynasty. How could the Zengjiazhuang Ding cultivated in the greenhouse have real murderous aura? Except for the top armor and weapons, there is no other advantage.

Moreover, Li Yanqing also observed another detail. Zengjiazhuang Ding did not carry siege weapons, so of course they would not have any thunder. So what would they use to attack the city? Cut a big tree as a siege ram? I'm afraid they can't even pass the moat.

So why do they seize Zeng Xiulin? The answer is actually coming out. It must be the inner responder. The people in the city opened the city gate for them. So where is the inner responder? How many people are there?

While Li Yanqing was pondering, a soldier reported: "Party Xu Tong is here!"

Li Yanqing turned around and saw the magistrate Xu Qinghui rushing over, and there seemed to be someone following him.

Xu Qinghui is now standing on the same boat as Li Yanqing. He is even more anxious than Li Yanqing to defeat Zeng Xiulin, and even more anxious than Li Yanqing to destroy the entire Zeng family. Once Zeng Xiulin recovers, the first person to deal with is not Li Yanqing, but Xu Qinghui.

"The Strategy Commander, there is an important situation!" Before he could get closer, Xu Qinghui shouted loudly.

"Prime Minister Xu Tong, have you found anything?" Li Yanqing stepped forward and smiled.

"Wang Tuanlian, you say it!"

Xu Qinghui pulled out Wang Tuanlian behind him. Wang Tuanlian was equivalent to the militia captain of later generations. Li Yanqing disbanded the village soldiers, and Wang Tuanlian was unemployed. However, he had another idea. How great is the opportunity for Li Yanqing to form a militia of 10,000 people?

He was itchy, but he knew that he lacked a letter of fame until just now, a great opportunity suddenly appeared in front of him.

Wang Tuanlian bowed and said, "My clan is secretly summoning the Zeng family's dead soldiers to prepare for the action tonight, which is not conducive to the strategy."

Li Yanqing was overjoyed. He was worried about this matter, and the turning point came.

"Who is your clan?" he asked hurriedly.

"My clan's husband is named Wang Ning, who is the chief manager of the Zeng family's property. He just found me and asked me to summon the village soldiers to act with him tonight."

Xu Qinghui next to him explained: "This Wang Ning has a high status in the Zeng family. The Zeng family has a group of thugs, known as a dead soldier, and is specifically responsible for protecting the Zeng family's property. It is under the jurisdiction of this Wang Ning. I thought he was outside the country, but I didn't expect that he would actually hide in Chengdu."

"How many of these dead soldiers are there?" Li Yanqing asked again.

"There are one hundred and fifty people!" Wang Tuanlian said.

"Then what specific plans do they have tonight and when will they start?"

Wang Tuanlian shook his head, "He refused to say anything, but asked me to summon the village soldiers. He would notify me before the action."

It seems that Wang Ning is still very cautious and refuses to reveal any details. Li Yanqing thought about it and asked again: "Do you know where they are now?"

"He didn't tell me, but guessed it was probably hidden in Sanchuan Vehicle Store, which was their nest."

Li Yanqing immediately waved to let the two personal soldiers come over. He said to Wang Tuanlian: "Take my people to the Sanchuan Vehicle Store to take a look, and report it immediately if there is any news."

"I understand!"

Wang Tuanlian hurried down to the city with two personal soldiers. Xu Qinghui said with lingering fear: "If Wang Tuanlian hadn't informed him in time, I really wouldn't know that Wang Ning was actually in the city, it would be very dangerous!"

Li Yanqing asked with a smile: "What is the relationship between Wang Tuanlian and Wang Ning? Will he betray him?"

"Although he is called a clan, it doesn't matter. They are all surnamed Wang. The governor disbanded the village soldiers. Wang Tuanlian had nothing to do, so he wanted to find something to do under the governor."

Li Yanqing nodded, "As long as I serve for me, I will not treat him badly. If he makes meritorious service tonight, I will let him be the leader of the Chengdu militia."

Xu Qinghui left, and a quarter of an hour later, two personal soldiers came to report, "We have found the traces of the dead soldiers. They are indeed hiding in the Sanchuan Vehicle Store. Wang Tuanlian found the restaurant that served food to Sanchuan Mansion. The restaurant shopkeeper said that they delivered a large number of meals to Sanchuan Vehicle Store in the past two days, with each meal being about 200."

Li Yanqing pondered for a moment. Since he didn't know the other party's plan, he could only take the initiative.
