Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 17

[Chapter 17 Aftermath]

“Crack!”

“Trash! It’s all trash!”

Zhang’s mansion.

Zhang Qian seemed to be crazy, and the whip in his hand kept falling on the three servants.

The clothes on the servant’s back had been shredded by the whip, with bright red blood seeping out, and there were screams from his mouth.

The servants standing around lowered their heads, too frightened to breathe, for fear that the next whip would fall on them.

As if tired from the beating, Zhang Qian threw his whip on the ground, pointed at the three of them, “Drag them out of the mass grave and bury them alive.”

“Master, spare my life, master, spare my life…” The

servants burst into tears, but they were dragged away mercilessly go out.

“Brother, calm down, the matter has come to this point, it is useless to be angry.” Zhang Kang stroked Zhang Qian’s back.

The news of the assassin’s encounter in Yanwang’s mansion is known all over the city.

The news that the assassins were wiped out was also known throughout the city.

After inquiring, they learned that the palace had made preparations in advance.

Zhang Qian angrily followed the servants who didn’t find out the tricks in the army of the palace during the day, and that’s why this happened.

“Who leaked the news?” Zhang Qian still refuses to accept such a result.

Obviously all the plans are airtight, how did King Yan know?

Could it be that there is King Yan’s eyeliner in his house?

Or is there a traitor in Qingfeng Village?

“Could it be Rang’er.” Zhang Kang reminded.

“No, I told Rang’er’s servant that day, and the woman was thrown down by Rang’er and died without saying anything, and what she heard was something else.” Zhang Qian shook his head.

“Other than that, only the Du family and the Huang family know about it.” Zhang Kang frowned.

Zhang Qian was agitated for a while.

The failure to assassinate King Yan made him suddenly feel that his control over Yan County was not so secure.

“Whoever it is? We have underestimated King Yan after all.” Zhang Qian narrowed his eyes, “It will be difficult to kill him after this incident.”

Zhang Kang nodded, “In short, this matter is very important to our Zhang family. It is extremely unfavorable, and since the King of Yan knew about it in advance, it is inevitable that he would not know that this matter is behind our Zhang family.”

This is what Zhang Qian is worried about.

He now also regrets participating in the purchase of the method of making ice.

Isn’t this sending money to King Yan to recruit soldiers and horses?

But it’s too late now.

King Yan’s wings are gradually growing, and it may not take long for the royal family’s army to be fully staffed and form a combat force.

Then they really can’t shake their position.

“If that’s the case, King Yan will definitely not let us go after he becomes powerful.” Zhang Qian gritted his teeth, and said in a hateful voice, “Why don’t we do it, and mobilize three private soldiers to destroy the palace.”

“Impossible.” Zhang Kang’s face changed slightly, “Brother, King Yan is the prince after all, doing this is tantamount to rebellion, and the royal family will not ignore it.”

“Then what should I do, wait to die?” Zhang Qian paced back and forth anxiously.

“Brother, don’t worry, there is still an opportunity in front of you, and it will be autumn soon.” Zhang Kang raised his eyebrows.

Zhang Qian immediately understood, “The autumn is tall and the horses are fat, and Beidi is coming from the south.”

“Exactly, I thought that if I sent someone to secretly open the gate of Yancheng at that time, the Beidi people would kill him, and the snipe and clam would fight each other. ” The fisherman will benefit.” After

a pause, he continued, “Of course, people should watch him at ordinary times, and whenever he has a chance…”

Zhang Qian’s heart was relieved a little by Zhang Kang’s words.

But then, his face immediately turned down, “Too bad, Rang’er is still locked up.”

…

Yan Wangfu.

At dawn, Zhao Xu returned to the palace from the camp of the personal guards.

At this time, Chang Wei had already led the soldiers to clean up the palace.

The courtyard walls on both sides of the palace were also demolished, and the three courtyards were merged into one.

This is the real face of the palace.

“Last night, the elite of Qingfengzhai basically died here, but it’s a pity that Pang Kun was taken away by those men in black.” Chang Wei followed behind Zhao Xu, introducing the results of the battle as he walked.

Zhao Xu squeezed his sweat.

Last night, he and Feng’er Luan’er stayed up all night in the guard camp.

After all, this matter is related to the life and death of the two.

“Take it away, just take it away. It is expected that Pang Kun would not survive in their hands. If it weren’t for them, this king would have no way of knowing about the night attack, but who are they?”

Zhao Xu came to the bedroom.

The earth pit has been filled, but the place is unlivable, and he plans to move to the east courtyard.

“The general thought that they might be Pang Kun’s enemies. After all, Qingfengzhai has done a lot of evil things in recent years.” Chang Wei said.

“En.” Zhao nodded, “As long as you don’t become an enemy of the palace, it’s fine.”

At this time, Chang Wei talked about the casualties of the guards and the royal army last night.

Zhao Xu felt a little distressed when he heard this, and said, “Go to the shopkeeper of Qin to get some silver. You must bury the soldiers who died in battle, comfort the wounded soldiers, and don’t let the soldiers feel cold.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Chang Wei bowed and took the lead. My life warms my heart.

In today’s world, the lives of ordinary soldiers are nothing more than worthless in the eyes of the powerful and powerful in Dasong, and death is death.

But King Yan always thought of the soldiers, which really made him admire.

Feng’er and Luan’er refused to leave Zhao Xu’s side for half a step since last night.

When there were only three of them left in the backyard.

Feng’er said: “I didn’t expect this Zhang family to be so rampant that they dared to attack the palace. Why don’t your highness write a letter and ask the emperor to send troops to wipe out this evil family.”

Luan’er nodded aside.

Zhao Xu gave a wry smile, he thought about doing this.

But he is more aware of his weight in the eyes of Emperor Zhao Heng.

What’s more, any major case requires witnesses and physical evidence.

Pang Kun was taken away by the man in black, which means that he has no evidence now

. Moreover, Zhang Kang of the Zhang family is the son-in-law of the Yuan family in Yanzhou.

And the daughter of the Yuan family is the concubine in the palace, and the son is Zhao Fang, the sixth prince of Dasong.

At that time, if they listened to Zhao Heng and only relied on their own family’s words, they might be beaten up.

Maybe it was me who was unlucky at that time.

Thinking of this, he explained.

“What Your Highness said is true.” Feng’er sighed slightly, “It’s just that His Highness has recovered, so the Emperor should know. Even if the Emperor doesn’t like His Highness, it’s good to be able to say something when necessary.”

“Well, it makes sense . .” Zhao Xu nodded.

He also has this idea.

The situation in his fief is extremely bad and complicated.

As a time traveler, he naturally has no father-son affection for Zhao Heng.

But you should also take advantage of your status as a prince.

If Zhao Heng knew that his ninth son had recovered from his madness.

He thought, Zhao Heng must hope that he can take root in Yanzhou.

After all, whether he likes it or not, he said otherwise.

He must have hoped that the power of the clan would be expanded, especially in Yanzhou, where the imperial court had insufficient control.

At that time, not to mention giving money and food, if someone framed him in front of him, at least he would not listen to one side and believe it on the other.

What’s more, the Ninth Prince’s mother is still in the palace, so he should also take care of her.

he was thinking.

At this time, a servant came to report, “Your Highness, Zhang Kang, the magistrate of Yan County, and his brother Zhang Qian came to see His Highness.”

“Zhang Kang, Zhang Qian? What are they doing here at this time, it’s disgusting.” Feng Er frowned. head.

Luan’er nodded, and said softly, “Yes.”

If Zhao Xu didn’t like it, she naturally hated it.

Zhao Xu thought for a while, guessing a little bit in his heart, he smiled coldly, “Hmph, do you want me to let you go? It’s not that easy, this time I have to strip off the Zhang family’s skin!”
