Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 30

[Chapter 30 The Situation]

“I’ll kill you!”

Zhang Kang shouted, stabbing the dagger into his chest.

“You…you…” Zhang Qian had an expression of disbelief.

“Brother, don’t blame me, you are too incompetent, only I am worthy to be the Patriarch of the Zhang family, otherwise the Yan Palace would have been wiped out in ashes.” Zhang Kang’s face was ferocious, and Zhang Qian spun around with the dagger, and Zhang Qian immediately fell limply.

The housekeeper Zhang Yue who was waiting on the side did not respond.

Instead, he bowed and said, “The sheriff has the best reputation among the powerful clan in Yan County. He should have become the head of the Zhang family long ago.”

Zhang Kang wiped the blood on his hands and nodded slightly, “After disposing of the body, say that the head of the family died suddenly. After today, I will handle all matters of the Zhang family.”

“Yes, Lord Sheriff.” The housekeeper turned and left.

Glancing at Zhang Qian’s corpse, Zhang Kang looked in the direction of the Yan Palace.

At this time, he killed Zhang Qian firstly for personal vendetta, secondly for Tuoba Lie’s order, and thirdly for keeping the Zhang family.

Because only the Zhang family is there, he has the ability to complete the task assigned by Tuoba Lie.

But Zhang Qian is greedy and impulsive, so he might act stupidly.

If King Yan was crazy and stupid in the past, it doesn’t matter what he does.

But now, it is not easy for King Yan to act after he recovers from his illness. In addition, the strength of the palace has greatly increased.

Moreover, it will take at least two months for the Beidi cavalry to come, so he has to ensure that the Zhang family is safe and sound for these two months.

What’s more, it was Tuoba Lie’s order to kill Zhang Qian and take control of the Zhang family.

In his view, the time has come.

Once Zhang Qian died, he blamed Zhang Qian for the persecution of Prince Yan’s Mansion, and pretended to ease the relationship with the Palace and confuse the Palace, so that he could delay it for a while.

And what he needs is precisely this time, even if the palace doesn’t believe him, it doesn’t matter.

When Beidi’s army arrived, he won.

…

“Zhang Qian is dead?”

Zhao Xu was surprised by the news for a long time in Yan Palace.

“It’s true, Zhang Kang just came to visit the official, and he also handed over the crimes committed by Zhang Qian in recent years to the official, and asked the official to submit it to His Highness.” Liu Fu handed a piece of paper to Zhao Xu.

“It’s just inexplicable, what do you think?” Zhao Xu was a little confused by Zhang’s operation.

The lights are off when people die, and with these crimes in hand, he can’t deal with Zhang Qian, a dead person.

Liu Fu sneered, “His Royal Highness, from the point of view, Zhang Kang is ten times more difficult to deal with than Zhang Qian. Zhang Qian is a hard knife and can see what he is doing at a glance, while Zhang Kang is a soft knife and cannot be guarded against.” After

a pause, he Continued: “In addition, Zhang Kang also expressed his loyalty to His Highness, which means that he was coerced by Zhang Qian a few days ago. He has a loyal face, and he intends to be loyal to His Highness.”

“Interesting.” Zhao Xu Rubbing his chin.

It’s just that he is not stupid, and his mind is full of knowledge from ancient times to the present.

In Yan County, his greatest enemy, the Zhang family, suddenly had such an accident. Either he was really afraid, or there was a bigger conspiracy.

Just what is the conspiracy? He couldn’t figure it out either.

And the unknown is scary.

What disgusted him the most was that in this way, the Zhang family turned into a white lotus, and it would not be easy for him to do so.

Suddenly thought of something, he asked anxiously: “No, Zhang Qian is dead. Zhang Rang is supposed to be the head of the Zhang family. How can it be Zhang Kang’s turn?

” , detained in prison, not qualified to inherit the Zhang family.” Liu Fu said.

Zhao Xu suddenly realized something, he said: “You go to the government prison immediately and bring Zhang Rang here.”

Liu Fu understood and trotted out.

After returning with a cup of tea, he said with a frustrated face, “Your Highness, Zhang Rang was hanged in prison. The jailer said that he committed suicide out of fear of crime.”

Zhao Xu sighed, “It seems that Zhang Qian didn’t die suddenly because of illness. It was Zhang Kang who did the trick.”

“In this way, the Zhang family is in conflict, but Zhang Kang is the sheriff of Yan County, and now he holds the authority of the Zhang family, and now he is obedient to the palace. Such a person Lying on the side of the palace, it is really hard to sleep peacefully.” Liu Fu was even more worried.

Don’t be afraid of thieves stealing, but be afraid of thieves thinking about it.

Zhao Xu and Liu Fu had the same idea.

Moreover, Zhang Kang hoped that if Zhang Qian took the top bag, the palace would trust them, which is too naive.

It’s just how could Zhang Kang be a simple person.

So what is he plotting? Zhao Xu and Liu Fu looked at each other like a blind man touching an elephant.

After pondering for a while, he said: “No matter what Zhang Kang is doing, since he intends to be loyal to the palace, then you can issue a decree of the palace and see how he reacts?

” Understood.” Liu Fu smiled sinisterly, “I don’t know what decree His Highness will issue?”

“Exempt the people of Yan County from paying taxes for three years.” Zhao Xu smirked.

Liu Fu gave a thumbs up, “Yanjun’s taxes are not in the hands of the royal family. Exempting taxes not only wins the hearts of the people, but also makes it impossible for those corrupt officials to make money.”

Zhao Xu continued: “Also, the Yanjun military commander Take it down and send officials from the Wangfu Office to take charge.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Liu Fu took the order and left.

At this time, Zhao Xu called another servant of the palace, and called Wang Yanzhong over.

“Have you found out the whereabouts of your wife and children?” Zhao Xu asked.

He was going to cut off the wings of the Zhang family.

Now that something happened to the Zhang family, they can wait for the opportunity to make further explorations.

Wang Yanzhong said, “Return to Your Highness, the little one has been found. It’s in a courtyard in the west of the city, and there are more than ten people guarding it.”

“This king will send someone to rescue your wife and children with you.” Zhao Xu said.

Wang Yanzhong was overjoyed, “Thank you, Your Highness.”

Zhao Xu called Zhou Yi again, “You can let those three people enter the winery, and they can be arrested when they see that they really want to escape from the palace.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Zhou Yi responded road.

at the same time.

Liu Fu went to the government office with two officials from the government office.

So far, this is the first time he has come to the government office.

Thinking that this government office is originally an institution under the Wangfu, and should bow to the Wangfu.

Now that the palace was out of control, he became angry for a while.

And as Wang Fu, he was even more angry.

Because logically, he should be in charge of the government office.

“Liu Wangfu.” When

Liu Fu arrived, Zhang Kang came out with a smile on his face.

The wealthy officials following behind Liu Fu also had smiles on their faces.

Zhang Kang has evil intentions and pretends.

But the flattery of the wealthy officials is true.

Regardless of the changes in the Zhang family, Zhang Kang changed his attitude towards the palace.

It is the current situation that makes them dare not despise the palace as before.

“Mr. Zhang.” Liu Fu called out, grabbing Zhang Kang’s arm affectionately.

Zhang Kang knows how to act, and he knows how to act even more.

While the officials were stunned, the two entered the government office hand in hand.

There is a great unity in Yan County.

Entered the government office.

Zhang Kang ordered tea to be poured for Liu Fu, and after exchanging greetings, he asked, “The official just visited Wang Fu, and now Wang Fu is here again, so it must be Wang’s order.”

Liu Fu nodded, and Zhang Kang had to be said to be very sharp.

He said: “Your Highness said that he has been unwell for the past few days, and it is estimated that a banquet will be held in honor of the Sheriff every day.”

“Your Highness can think of the next official, and the latter is very grateful.” Zhang Kang looked flattered.

Liu Fu continued: “There are two government orders brought by His Highness.”

Zhang Kang rolled his eyes, thinking that this Yan Wang is really difficult to deal with.

He just said that he was subdued, and now it’s time to test him.

With a smile on his face, he listened quietly.

“His Royal Highness ordered the county guard to issue a decree today to exempt the people of Yan County from paying taxes for three years.” Liu Fulang said.

Hearing Zhang Kang’s words, the expressions of Zhang Kang and all the officials changed immediately.

“Wang Fu, what will happen to the salaries of the officials of Yan County after the tax is exempted?” Zhang Kang asked.

This decree really surprised him, he really didn’t expect it.

Because a normal person would not issue such a government order.

Now he really doubts that King Yan’s madness has not healed.

“Your Highness said that the salaries of Yan County officials and the military salaries of the county soldiers will be distributed uniformly by the palace.” Liu Fu took a sip from his teacup with a calm expression.

He supported King Yan in doing so.

It’s very simple, officials of the wealthy family naturally have no shortage of money.

But there are still many poor officials in Yan County.

Naturally, it is different for these officials to receive salaries from the palace and to receive salaries from the government.

After taking the silver, they will know whom to pledge allegiance to.

Especially the county soldiers, just like the royal soldiers.

After taking the money from the palace, he should do things for the palace.

Therefore, this move is tantamount to abolishing the property rights of the government office and taking it back to the palace.

“If the palace can support Yan County’s wealth, the lower officials have nothing to say.” Zhang Kangpi smiled.

At this moment, he cannot directly object.

Objection means that his previous posture was fake.

He had already made up his mind to stay until autumn no matter what.

Everything that is lost now, as long as the Beidi people destroy the Yan Palace, he can get it back.

Liu Fu was overjoyed in his heart, and he continued: “Also, Your Highness wants to directly place the Division of Military Warfare under the jurisdiction of the palace.”

Zhang Kang had no objection to this, so he nodded.

Liu Fu was very satisfied.

Zhang Kang was obedient to him.

This time, he truly experienced the power of being Wang Fu.
