Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 161

[Chapter 161]

Shanggu County.

For several days, the place has been shrouded in a depressive atmosphere.

Since Liu Fu returned from Yan County, there has been a storm in the officialdom of Shanggu County.

Several wealthy officials have been imprisoned for corruption of ink, and more officials will continue to be monitored.   Gao ‘s house in

the dead of night.   The dignified officials of the rich family in Shanggu County gathered here.   Now all officials of the wealthy family in Shanggu County are in danger.   If Liu Fu continues to investigate like this, they will all go to prison in the end.   ”Lord Gao, what should we do now? As the saying goes, if you pull out a carrot, you will get mud. If an official goes to jail, the officers and soldiers will be implicated, and even a dozen officials will be implicated. A dozen officials will bring out hundreds of officials. So, is there still a place for us?”   ”Since Liu Fu came to Shanggu County, he has always treated us with eyes that are not eyes, and noses that are not noses. Now it is even too much. I really think we are afraid.”   ”It’s really impossible, find us If someone kills him, if he doesn’t do it, he won’t stop.” Someone shouted.   ”…”   All the officials were excited, Gao Principle always had a weird smile on his face.   After a long time, he said: “This matter must have been ordered by the King of Yan. It’s a good thing that the King of Yan has some tricks. This is a conspiracy. If we don’t rebel, we will be imprisoned in the name of corruption. If we rebel, he will be imprisoned.” It can wipe out the noble family in Shanggu County in one fell swoop.” Gao Yuan said.   When the officials heard this, they were terrified.   When Shanggu County was still under Yuan Li’s jurisdiction, they could do whatever they wanted in Shanggu County as long as they paid filial piety to Yuan’s family every year.   Never been bullied like this before.   ”Master Gao, you said that as long as King Yan is killed, Shanggu County will still be our Shanggu County. Now, have you figured out how to do it? We will listen to you.” An official said.

“Yes, as long as King Yan is killed, Master Yuan still owns Yanzhou   , and we don’t have to be so angry.”   ”

Kill King Yan.” It’s getting thicker.   He said: “There is an idea at the moment. Dong Yang, Lu and other wealthy families in Yan County handed over their land and became pure businessmen. The King of Yan can rest assured. In my opinion, it is better to pretend that we also have to hand over the land. Dedicate it to the King of Yan, and if the King of Yan comes, we will ambush him and kill him.”   ”What if he doesn’t come?” an official asked.   ”Then send a brave dead soldier to take the land deed to Yan County, present it to King Yan with his own hands, and assassinate him when King Yan takes the land deed   !   ” , all die.”   ”…” “Everyone   , do you have to fight to the death like this?”   When everyone was discussing excitedly, a voice came to mind.   The air was instantly quiet.   Gao Yuan looked at the man, frowning slightly.   This person’s name is Zhong Shidao, the head of the Zhong family in Shangyi County, and the county magistrate of Shangyi County.   His son Zhongli served as a general in Yuan’s army.   ”Then what is the opinion of County Magistrate Zhong?” Gao Yuan asked.   ”The lower official thinks that King Yan must have been annoyed by the fact that the wealthy clan secretly ordered the servants to force the people to sell their land, and that King Yan is so angry. As long as you stop and hand over the land that was invaded in the past, King Yan will definitely not pursue it. “Master Zhong said loudly.   ”Nonsense, I think your Zhong family wants to be King Yan’s dog.” An official shouted sharply.   ”That’s right. The Zhong family has always allowed themselves to be clean, so how could they join us?” Another official mocked.   Zhong Shidao was furious when he heard the words, he said: “You are spitting blood, I just don’t want you to die innocently, why must you die and live?”

Gao Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he said: “Forget it, we don’t agree with each other, County Magistrate Zhong, this is not the place for you, please!”

He was chasing someone away.

Zhong Shidao sighed, when the Yuan family was here, the Zhong family was frightened by the power of the Yuan family, so they could only submit to the Yuan family.

But in his heart, he didn’t agree with what the Yuan family did in Yanzhou.

Therefore, after King Yan won Shanggu County, he didn’t hate King Yan like other wealthy families, but only felt that he could obey the destiny.

Standing up from his seat, he left with a flick of his sleeves.

After Zhong Shidao left, Gao Yuan beckoned to an official.

“Zhong Shidao and we are not of the same mind. Maybe he will reveal our secret. Go and send someone to kill him.” Gao Yuan said.

The official nodded, and the figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.

In the night, under the protection of several Zhong family children, Zhong Shidao walked towards the inn in a sedan chair.

After coming to Shanggu City, he lived here temporarily.

Back at the inn, Zhong Shidao said to the disciples of the Zhong family beside him: “Tonight I disobeyed his will in front of Gao Yuan, and Gao Yuan will not tolerate me. We will return to Shangyi County tomorrow morning and wait for changes.

” Hearing the words, he answered yes.

That night, when he was sleeping in the inn, he suddenly felt a pungent smell in the middle of the night.

When I woke up again, I saw thick smoke billowing and flames everywhere.

Seeing this, he was shocked and rushed out of the room.

At this time, a member of the Zhong family ran over in a panic, “My lord, the doors and windows of the inn have been locked.”

“What!” Zhong Shidao was shocked, and then he said angrily, “What a plateau, you have been locked for a day!” I’m not allowed.”

“Bang Dang.” When

he was frightened, the beams of the inn collapsed, and the flames instantly engulfed him.

The moment he lost consciousness, he heard the sound of people and horses.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhong Shidao woke up from a coma.

He only felt that his whole body was in excruciating pain, as if his body was burning.

At this moment, a voice sounded, “Magistrate Zhong, you are really lucky.”

Master Zhong was startled, looked at the source of the voice, and called, “Fu Liu Wang.”

Liu Fu nodded slightly, “You don’t have to panic , now in the eyes of others, you are already dead.”

Zhong Shidao looked puzzled, “What is

Liu Wangfu’s intention?” Liu Fu smiled lightly, and the secret agents of the palace had already sneaked in here.

During this period of time, the whereabouts of these people in Gao Yuan has been in his hands.

Tonight, after Zhong Shidao returned to the inn, a group of people set fire to him to kill him.

He knew in advance, so he sent soldiers to come, but he didn’t expect that the fire was already big.

Fortunately, a Zhong family member jumped on Zhong Shidao’s body, saving him from death.

In order to create the illusion that Zhong Shidao was dead, he immediately asked people to find a corpse and throw it into the sea of fire. In this way, Gao Yuan would not doubt the number of corpses.

Immediately, he told Zhong Shidao about these things.

“Thank you, Prince Liu.” Knowing that it was Liu Fu who saved him, Master Zhong wanted to stand up and thank him.

“No need, County Magistrate Zhong should take good care of your wounds.” Liu Fu said, “Your burns are very serious. I will send someone back to Yanjun to fetch the secret medicine from the palace and apply it on you at dawn.”

Zhong Shidao heard the words, and his heart was even more serious. It’s Yi Nuan, compared to such vicious people as Gao Yuan, he feels that King Yan is worthy to be the Lord of Yan Province.

He immediately said: “Prince Liu’s mansion, Gao Yuan and others are going to kill King Yan…”

Originally, he wanted to keep this matter in his stomach, but now he can’t complain.

Liu Fu narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and said with a smile, “They really are looking for their own death.”
