Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 244

[Chapter 244 Sophistry]

“Xue Pan conspired to assassinate the King of Yan, all participants will be shot!”

Xu Lie shouted at this time.

In just a split second, most of the children of the wealthy family who conspired with Xue Pan were killed or injured, and Xue Pan also retreated repeatedly under the attack of the guards.

Xue Pan sternly said: “You are really stupid, King Yan. Since you have found out that this is a conspiracy, I didn’t expect you to come anyway. Since you have come to your door, you can’t blame me.”

“If the king doesn’t come , how could you rebels show up, but since this king is here, how could he be unprepared?” Zhao Xu sneered.

“Follow me, kill!”

Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of shouting to kill outside the yard.

Chang Wei led the ambush soldiers and rushed out from the foot of the mountain.

Xue Pan’s expression changed immediately.

Obviously, he was wrong, King Yan had already made preparations in advance.

This time, it was not they who wanted to kill King Yan, but King Yan who wanted to kill them.

“Ding.”

“Dang.”

“Kill!”

“…” The

assassin couldn’t rush in, and the battle in the courtyard immediately became overwhelming.

Xue Pan and Zhu Rong had only brought more than 30 children from their family.

Most of them were killed or injured under the siege by Yanwei and the palace guards.

And Lu Ran obviously came back to his senses, he also led the Lu family’s children and servants in the yard to join the battle.

While fighting with the Xue family’s children, Lu Ran beat and scolded: “Xue Pan, you bastard, I kindly set up a bridge for you, but you hurt me so much. Today I will take you with my own hands and hand it over to Your Highness.

” Lu Ran kept moving his hands.

With the cooperation of two servants, he killed a Xue family child, and Lu Ran ran directly to Xue Pan.

At this moment, Xue Pan was no longer as proud as before, and his eyes were full of horror.

The ambush failed.

After a few more breaths, the last Xue family child fell under the knife of the palace guards.

Xu Lie and Lu Ran pushed towards Xue Pan at the same time, besieging him.

Zhao Xu’an sat at the banquet chair, leisurely drinking the fine wine in his cup.

After drinking the last drop of wine, Xu Lie escorted Xue Pan to him.

“Kneel down!” Xu Lie shouted loudly.

Two guards on the left and right grabbed Xue Pan’s arm and kicked his leg, Xue Pan immediately fell to his knees.

At the same time, the sound of fighting outside the yard became smaller and smaller.

In less than half an hour, Chang Wei led a group of soldiers into the yard.

“Your Highness, all the assassins were executed, and a small number escaped. The cavalry at the foot of the mountain will continue to encircle and suppress them.” Chang Wei looked at Xue Pan who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes were full of anger.

Zhao Xu nodded, then looked at Xue Pan, “Yuan Li ordered you to do this, right?

” In the future, there will be other wealthy families who will kill you forever!” Xue Pan shouted.

Hearing this, Zhao Xu laughed loudly, and said: “Since that’s the case, I want to see what skills you have!”

After finishing speaking, he gave Xu Lie a look.

The long knife in Xu Lie’s hand was raised high, and it fell suddenly, with one head rolling off.

“Your Highness, why don’t you interrogate the Yuan family strictly, let him confess the plot of the Yuan family, and sue them in the court hall.” Lu Ran’s heart trembled, he stayed for a while, and asked.

“If it is useful to impeach Yuan Li in court, Yuan Li would have died during the chaos in Yanzhou,” Zhao Xu said.

Lu Ran nodded, and then thought of something, his face turned pale, and he knelt down, “Your Highness, you should be damned, but my Lu family really has nothing to do with this matter, and after my Lu family handed over the land property and disbanded the private soldiers, I will no longer be with Yan. Other wealthy families in the state wear a pair of trousers.”

“Get up, I know what I know.” Zhao Xu stood up.

The three servants of the Lu family who broke up just now are from Yanwei.

He is very clear about what the Lu family did and did not do.

This time, the Yanwei members of his Lu family were exposed, one was to kill Xue Pan and others, and the other was caught off guard.

Another thing is to remind Dong Yang and Lu’s family again.

The palace has been watching them all the time, don’t think about colluding with other wealthy families in Yanzhou to harm him in order to restore the previous power.

“Thank you, Your Highness.” Lu Ran said carefully.

Now he hates Xue Pan to death. Even though he didn’t participate in this matter, he was used after all.

In the future, he will be pointed at the spine and gossip.

When Lu Ran was annoyed, Zhao Xu glanced at the corpses all over the place, turned around and walked out of the villa, and walked towards Yancheng.

When passing through the woods in front of Zhangshan Village, he met Qin Shan.

The assassins who were ambushing here were apparently cleared out by Qin Shan.

“Please look, Your Highness.” Qin Shan pointed to a pit on the road.

Zhao Xu glanced at it, and there was a wooden barrel inside, and a fuse extended from the barrel to the woods.

Obviously the barrel contained gunpowder.

“Yuan Li used gunpowder to attack His Highness last time, and he used it again this time.” Chang Wei lifted the wooden barrel from the pit and dumped it, and it was indeed black gunpowder inside.

Zhao Xu felt a chill run down his spine.

Thanks to the people of Zhangshan Village and Yan Wei this time, otherwise, if he escaped the assassination of the villa, he might not be able to escape the second assassination.

In the future, he will continue to increase investment in Yanwei to make his intelligence agency stronger.

“It’s not rude to come and go, this king will retaliate.” Zhao Xu’s eyes narrowed.

Since Yuan Li wants to play with him, he will accompany him to the end.

Back to the palace.

Zhao Xu called Liu Fu and asked him to take some money from the treasury to reward the people in Zhangshan Village.

This incident made him more convinced of one thing.

Since he beat the wealthy family and divided the land, the conflict between him and the wealthy family has become irreconcilable.

After all, this is an essential contradiction.

If he stands on the side of the common people, it is impossible for him to gain the approval of the wealthy family.

That being the case, from now on he must stand firmly on the side of the common people.

Always put the interests of the people first.

If you want to play tricks to please both sides, you will only end up being wrong on both sides.

After explaining to Liu Fu, he continued: “Chang Wei, you immediately lead the troops to Ping County and Liao County, take over the soldiers of the two counties, and at the same time pay back the wealthy families who participated in this assassination.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Chang Wei clasped his fists In response, he turned around and left with big strides.

Hearing this, Liu Fu said excitedly: “Now Ping County and Liao County, like Shanggu County, will be formally brought under the jurisdiction of the government office.”

But suddenly thought of something, he suddenly frowned, “It’s just that the wealthy families of the two counties have been paid, and the officialdom is empty. It’s gone.”

“I’m afraid this is also in Yuan Li’s plan, no matter whether he succeeds in assassinating the king or not, he will always pay off.” Zhao Xu thought for a while and snorted lightly.

…

Fan Yang.

In just one day, the news of the failed assassination came back.

Yuan’s mansion.

Yuan Li looked at the three black-clothed dead men who escaped by chance, with a gloomy expression.

“It was I who underestimated King Yan. If he could know the news in advance, I’m afraid there are many eyes of King Yan in Fanyang City.” Yuan Li’s eyes narrowed.

After thinking for a while, he waved his hand to let the dead man leave, and asked people to call Yanzhou Mu Yuanfeng.

This Yuan Feng was his third younger brother. After he was dismissed, Yuan Feng was promoted to the position of State Shepherd.

But in fact Yuan Feng is just his puppet.

Not long after, Yuan Feng rushed over.

Yuan Lidao: “From today onwards, you must strictly check the people who enter and leave Fanyang. If there are suspicious people, you will be arrested immediately. It is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go, because they are likely to be the eyeliner of King Yan.”

” Yes, big brother!” Yuan Feng replied.

Originally, he was nothing more than a person waiting to die in Yuan’s house, and it was Yuan Li’s intention to be promoted to the position of state shepherd.

He naturally did not dare to disobey Yuan Li’s order.

“And…” Yuan Li rolled his eyes, and Fu Er said something to Yuan Feng.

Yuan Feng showed a smirk, turned and left.
