Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 15

[Chapter 15 Between Life and Death]

“His Royal Highness, Zhang Rang cannot be arrested, otherwise the Yan Palace will completely offend the Zhang family.”

Dong An tried hard to persuade him in the guest room of the palace.

Although they want to use the hand of the palace to contain the Zhang family.

But I don’t want to get into trouble with the Zhang family.

After all, the Zhang family is so powerful that it is really embarrassing. They may not be able to fight.

Yang He and Lu Chang nodded frequently.

There was a lot of commotion in Tianxiang Tower, and the news quickly spread throughout the small Yancheng.

Liu Fu and Chang Wei rushed back to the palace when they heard the news.

“If you can’t catch it, why can’t you catch it? That woman is not a servant of the Zhang family. According to the law of the Great Song, anyone who kills someone without a reason shall be beheaded. According to the general, His Highness catches her well, and catches her with pleasure!” Chang Wei paired tiger eyes Staring at the three of Dong An.

When he heard the news, he was at Peking University Camp.

At that time, he yelled, OK.

When the soldiers of the pro-guard knew about it, they were all in high spirits.

In these years, no one in Yan County dared to touch people from the Zhang family.

As soon as King Yan made a move, people were excited. For them, finally someone in Yan County could take care of the Zhang family.

Although Liu Fu was happy in his heart, he was the prince of the palace after all, so he had to consider the overall situation.

Naturally, he couldn’t be as unscrupulous as soldiers like Chang Wei.

He said: “Your Highness, if you do this, you will offend the Zhang family to death. I am afraid that he will obstruct the affairs of the palace in the future, and the gain will not be worth the loss.”

Zhao Xu did not speak, but turned to Dong An and the others first.

Said: “Today’s lunch, the king is very satisfied. The royal family still lacks military uniforms. I wonder if the three of you can supply them to the royal family.”

Military uniforms are not armor. Giving it to the three families can further win them over.

“No problem.” Dong An immediately put the matter of Zhang Rang to the back of his mind, feeling very happy.

King Yan agreed with them.

Zhao Xu continued, “In the future, the palace will have a lot of business, and there are still many opportunities for cooperation.”

Yang Heqian said, “Thank you for your kindness, my Yang family is determined to follow the lead of the palace.”

“So do our Lu family.” Lu Chang clasped his fists.

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, and he just listened to these words, and the specifics depended on their actions.

“Today’s matter will not involve the three of you. You don’t have to worry about it when you go back. Also, don’t reveal the matter between the palace courtyard and the palace for the time being.” The

three of them looked at each other, although they didn’t understand why Zhao Xu wanted to I mentioned the matter of the yard, but I still answered yes.

After saluting, the three of them left the living room.

When the three of them walked away, Zhao Xu’s eyes became sharper.

He told the three of them not to mention the yard in order to test them.

Whether they really want to attach themselves to the palace, probably depends on tonight.

Then, he said to Liu Fu and Chang Wei, “Do you know about Qingfeng Village?”

“Qingfeng Village?” A group of very vicious robbers in the county.”

Chang Wei nodded, “It is said that because Beidi people invaded and plundered every year, many people either attached themselves to the rich, or turned into bandits. This Qingfengzhai is one of them. There are thousands of desperadoes.”

“Yes.” Zhao Xu’s heart sank.

On the way back, he read the note, which read: Tonight, the Zhang family colluded with Qingfengzhai to attack the palace at night.

“Look at this.” He showed the note to the two of them.

Both Chang Wei and Liu Fuju were taken aback, “Your Highness, what’s the matter with this note?”

Zhao Xu then told about the singer.

“It’s really strange. First, Zhang Rang killed a singer, and now another singer sent a note, exposing the Zhang family’s conspiracy. This day, Xianglou is really a temple.” Liu Fu frowned.

Zhao Xu nodded, regardless of who the diva is, the most important thing right now is the content on the note, “It’s better to believe what you have than to believe what you don’t have.”

In troubled times where human life is as cheap as a dog, power struggles often Extremely cruel, he absolutely believed that the Zhang family could do it.

The gate guard of Yancheng is the duty of the county soldiers.

The county soldiers are under the control of the three families headed by the Zhang family.

It couldn’t be easier for them to deliberately let people from Qingfengzhai in.

“It’s a good move to kill someone with a knife, and taking advantage of the fact that His Highness’s own army has not yet formed a fighting force, if it weren’t for someone’s help, I’m afraid…” Chang Weirao is full of courage.

At this time, a cold sweat broke out from behind.

“Your Highness, it’s better to leave the palace quickly, and save your life.” Liu Fu also panicked.

He couldn’t help but panic.

The notoriety of Qingfeng Village is well known to everyone in Yan County, and there are some desperadoes inside.

With just one hundred guards in the palace, how can they all resist these thieves.

Chang Wei likes to be straightforward, but he is not without brains.

He said: “Your Highness, the palace can’t stay here anymore. You can go wherever you go. Yan County is full of the Zhang family’s eyeliner. What’s more, without the emperor’s order, the vassal king is not allowed to leave the fief, otherwise it will be regarded as treason. Big taboo.”

Zhao Xu nodded, “The Zhang family is sure of us, if that’s the case, let’s just follow the plan.”

“Just follow the plan?”

Chang Wei and Liu Fu looked at each other, and then looked at Zhao Xu.

Walking slowly to the door, he said: “Chang Wei, you go to the army and dispatch five hundred of the most powerful young men to carry the grain and grass, and then…”

Chang Wei listened carefully, his frowning brows gradually faded away. Relax.

When Zhao Xu finished speaking, he clasped his fists heavily, “The last general will go here.”

Liu Fu sighed, “Your Highness is wise, tonight I will not let the Zhang family steal chickens and lose money.”

Zhao Xu looked in the direction of the Zhang family and sighed : “It’s just that the Zhang family is so vicious, if it doesn’t get rid of for a day, it will be a serious problem for the palace.”

Liu Fu has the same worry.

Now the palace is in the light, and the Zhang family is in the dark.

They can plan this assassination, and they can continue to plan the next assassination.

“That’s true, but if you act rashly, you are afraid that they will jump over the wall in a hurry and raise their troops to rebel, and the royal family’s army has just been established and has not yet formed an army, so it may be difficult to resist.” Liu Fu hurriedly persuaded.

He was afraid that Zhao Xu’s impulsiveness would lead to a big conspiracy if he couldn’t bear it.

After all, King Yan had just recovered for a few days, and although he had won the hearts of the people a little, it was only a small group of people in Yan County.

The royal army’s troops are all new recruits, and their morale and morale are not very solid.

Furthermore, Zhang, Huang, and Du’s three private soldiers together claim to have more than 20,000 people.

This does not include the county soldiers of Yan County.

“This king understands.”

Zhao Xu knew how much he weighed, and he had only been here for four or five days.

It’s a bit of a dream to want to destroy the number one wealthy family in Yan County just based on the noise he made in four or five days.

As the saying goes, if you know your enemy and know yourself, you will win every battle.

Where is the Wubao of Zhang, Huang and Du’s family? How many troops are there in the fort? How many cavalry and infantry? How is the combat power? I haven’t figured it out yet, how to destroy these three families.

However, even though he couldn’t destroy the three families, he didn’t need to be afraid of the three families.

If it is said that before the pro-guards were recruited, he belonged to the fish meat slaughtered by the Zhang family.

So now, he already has some capital.

What’s more, the Zhang family obviously didn’t dare to raise troops to deal with him when they played this kind of shady game. Everyone had scruples.

That being the case, let’s fight and see who wins!

Thinking of this, he said, “His Zhang family has a plan to make this king feel uncomfortable today, and tomorrow the king has a plan to make his Zhang family feel uncomfortable.”

“Oh? If so, I hope His Highness’s plan will succeed tonight. Otherwise…” Liu Fu said pleasantly, and then his throat choked, “Although I have only been with His Highness for a few days, I can still feel that His Highness is the Lord of Sages. Even if His Highness arrives at the Hall of Yama, I will follow him.”

Zhao Xuwen He said, and sprayed Liu Fu’s face with a sip of tea, “A dog can’t spit out ivory, how can I die so easily.”

Liu Fu wiped his face, “What do you mean by dying?”

Zhao Xu said lazily. Ignoring him again, kicked his ass, “Get out.”

Liu Fu left, and the smile on Zhao Xu’s face gradually disappeared.

In the past, he had only seen these political struggles in TV dramas and books, and only after experiencing them personally did he realize that they were really dangerous.

But he had nothing else but an indomitable drive.

Let him be a ghost, afraid of a ball.

…

Zhang family.

Zhang Qian and Zhang Kang sat opposite each other in the gazebo in the courtyard, holding candles and drinking.

“Brother, does it really matter that Rang’er is also in the palace at this time?”

“It’s okay, I have specifically told the people in Qingfengzhai that they will not hurt Rang’er. I’m back.” Zhang Qian was complacent.

A few days ago, the Zhang family carried boxes of silver, bags of grain, and stacks of land deeds to the palace, and no one noticed his distress every night.

Now these belongings will come back immediately, not to mention how happy he is.

Zhang Kang nodded, “Brother is really right to help Pang Kun, the second head of Qingfeng Village, kill Zhou Jie, the second head of Qingfeng Village. I didn’t expect it to come in handy today.”

Zhang Qian was even more proud. No one in the county would expect to obey Zhang Jiayan.

He laughed and said: “Originally, this Qingfeng Village was used to deal with Dong, Yang, and Lu’s family. Since King Yan is getting more and more annoying   , it doesn’t matter to use it on him first.” On the crescent moon, he said: “At midnight, the Palace of King Yan disappeared.”

“Hahaha…” Zhang Kang laughed heartily.

The new Wang Fu Liu Fu, a lowly man from a poor family, still wants to surpass him, it’s just a dream.

Picking up the wine glass, he toasted Zhang Qian. Thinking of something, he said: “My foolish brother heard that a group of troops from the Royal Palace went to the Palace today, so there must be no mistakes. ”

Don’t worry, the people watching said that they just went to clean the palace, and they went back in the evening.”

“That’s all right.” Zhang Kang was relieved, “When the palace is cleaned up, Dong will be cleaned up as well.” With the three families of Yang and Lu, we will be able to monopolize the bulk of the ice sales, and our strength will be further improved by then.”

Hearing this, Zhang Qian’s heart became warm.

In the Dasong Dynasty, there were also high and low families among the wealthy families, and people like them could basically only be officials in this county.

But if their strength is stronger, they are eligible to go to the state capital, or even be an official in the capital.

“Yan Wang, Yan Wang, you are really the lucky star of our Zhang family. You gave us this great gift when you recovered from illness, but it’s a pity, who made you threaten our interests.” Zhang Qian shook his head and sneered again and again.

…

In the dark sky, the moon climbed higher and higher.

Midnight came quietly.

When everything was silent, many people in night clothes suddenly emerged from the dark corners of Yancheng.

They met on the street, and then headed towards the palace with shining swords.

“Master, the courtyard in the middle is where the palace is located, and the two courtyards on the left and right are empty.” The

three men in black hid in the corner to discuss.

“Well, you take a dozen or so brothers to the main entrance, and lead away the guards at the main entrance of the palace.” The man in black in the middle said to the one on the left.

He is Pang Kun, the owner of Qingfeng Village.

Then he said to the one on the right side: “You, take people to the middle court, watch over the money and food, and the rest of you will follow me to the bedroom in the backyard, and kill King Yan.” The

two nodded and took their men there.

At this time, Pang Kun led the remaining 300 people into the empty courtyard on the right, climbed over a wall, and entered the palace.

When he came to the backyard, Pang Kun saw the shadows of the lamps flickering in the bedroom, and there seemed to be three people sitting in front of the lamps, and said with a lewd smile: “King Yan is really interested. I heard that the two maidservants of King Yan are very beautiful. Maybe you can try it tonight.” . ”

Hearing the words, the men in black all around suddenly let out a low, wicked smile.

“Go in! Let the two maidservants live first.” Pang Kun snorted.

Dozens of men in black behind him rushed straight to the bedroom.

Pang Kun folded his arms, with a relaxed expression, and secretly said: Why do you need five hundred people for such a trivial matter, the Zhang family is too careful.
