Steel Dynasty - Chapter 72

[Chapter 72 Pool of Blood]

“Hahaha, my people are here, Lu Fei, let me see what you can do to me, hum!”

Lu Fei remained silent, and suddenly drew his sword with his right hand. Suddenly, a silver light flashed, and the two of them His head rolled to the ground in front of the businessman.

“Ah, murder…” The two Qinglou women were frightened and rushed out of the room screaming.

The businessman turned pale with fright and vomited repeatedly.

Lu Fei said loudly at this time: “Chai Lingwu and Wei Tong led the soldiers to mutiny and have been killed by me!”

Downstairs, the cavalry from Qingzhou was surrounded by a hundred people. The two sides pushed each other and seemed to have a big fight. Suddenly they saw two black things rolling in front of them.

When they looked carefully, they discovered that they were the heads of Chai Lingwu and Wei Tong, and they were shocked.

Then they saw Lu Fei, covered in blood, walking out like a god of death, “The two thieves have been killed. Put down your weapons. I will spare your life, otherwise you will be treated as a rebel!” When

the soldiers saw that their general was dead, they Lu Fei had great prestige in the army, and one by one he dropped his weapons.

With a cold snort, Lu Fei asked his soldiers to wrap up the heads of the two men, and rushed back to Qingzhou overnight with more than thirty people on horseback. This time, in order to quickly capture Chai Lingwu, all the cavalrymen had one person and four horses.

At noon the next day, he took the heads of Chai Lingwu and Wei Tong to Prince Qi’s Mansion.

“Kill?” Xiao Ming asked when he saw the linen soaked in blood.

Lu Fei nodded and explained the situation at that time.

At this time, Pang Yukun and Chang Yuchun also arrived at Prince Qi’s Mansion. Chang Yuchun said at this time: “Your Highness, these two people should be killed!”

This Chang Yuchun had only been here for three days, and Xiao Ming didn’t know much about him, so he said : “Why should they be killed?”

“Not mentioning the two men’s smuggling of war horses, but the fact that these two men infiltrated the powerful clan into the Cangzhou garrison should be killed. If this continues, will this Cangzhou still be His Highness’s Cangzhou?” If the barbarians come again, won’t these two people abandon the city and flee? Your Highness, don’t forget that the guard back then was also from a local wealthy family.” Chang Yuchun said.

Xiao Ming nodded, “If you just kill someone like this, they will definitely be dissatisfied. The Qin family is still powerful now. If they secretly go against me, it will not be a joke.”

“Since Your Highness dares to touch these two people, You must be very confident, your Highness probably knows better than ordinary people about the principle of sitting on a mountain and watching a tiger fight,” Chang Yuchun said.

“Well, that makes sense.” Xiao Ming said. Chang Yuchun had already seen that he was taking advantage of the contradictions of the rich clans. He said: “This Cangzhou is an important border town. We must not be careless until the case of Chai Lingwu and Wei Tong is decided.” Now, you can take up your post in Cangzhou.”

“Thank you, Your Highness!” Chang Yuchun said.

He was also a man of great fame, but he had no background. After waiting for three years, he still didn’t have an official position. Because he admired Pang Yukun’s uprightness, he decided to drag his family and his family to Qingzhou after getting Pang Yukun’s letter.

Pang Yukun said at this time: “Your Highness, once Chai Lingwu and Wei Tong die, the Wang family will definitely come to recommend their own people. At that time, I hope that Your Highness will not be deceived by the Wang family.”

Xiao Ming’s face turned dark. Pang Yukun still didn’t believe him. Integrity, he said: “At this time, I have made up my mind and will not choose anyone else.”

Pang Yukun nodded and left with Chang Yuchun.

In the main hall, Lu Fei hadn’t left yet. Xiao Ming looked at Lu Fei and was speechless for a while. This fierce general was really a bit fierce and he killed two people without any explanation.

“You, you, I still want to interrogate the two of them, but it’s better for you. Now you have no evidence.” Xiao Ming said angrily.

Lu Fei chuckled and said: “Your Highness, this is not necessarily true. I also captured a merchant who was secretly collaborating with the two of them. He is in Qingzhou Prison. If His Highness is worried, the general can help him interrogate him.”

“You are still rough. There are details, by the way, this time Wei Tong was killed, the governor of Cangzhou is vacant, you select the best and available people from the Qingzhou army to take up the post, and there must be no more uncontrollable people!” Xiao Ming said.

Not only Cangzhou, but now Xiao Ming is not worried about Qingzhou. He is worried about other states, because these states and counties are basically people from the four major wealthy families. This time, he will use the contradiction between the Wang and Qin families to completely cleanse Cangzhou.

Other states need him to make full use of the triggers of this conflict.

Chang Yuchun made it very clear that he just wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight and take advantage of the opportunity.

He ordered Lu Fei to send capable men to Cangzhou, and he also asked Lu Fei to list the newly recruited soldiers as the new army. The new army was directly under his jurisdiction, and the governors of other states had no right to interfere.

In this way, he could use the new army to restrain the armies of other states and counties. However, if Qingzhou and Cangzhou were captured, other states and counties would not be able to make a big splash.

The only thing he was worried about was the backlash from the Qin family. Chai Lingwu and Wei Tong were both core members of the Qin family.

Lu Fei left, and just as Pang Yukun said, after the news of Chai Lingwu and Wei Tong’s execution spread, the Wang family indeed sent someone to recommend someone from the Wang family to replace the Cangzhou governor and the Cangzhou governor.

Everyone knows that Cangzhou is a piece of fat. The Qin family suffered heavy losses this time, and the Wang family naturally wants to further occupy a favorable position.

But now they have nothing to impress Xiao Ming. Xiao Ming is no longer the vassal king that he could buy with just ten thousand taels of silver.

The Wang family members were disappointed and left, when Li San walked in.

“How’s it going? Is there any movement in the Qin family?” Xiao Ming asked.

Li San and Wang Xuan now belong to his left and right secret guards. Now he has asked them to arrange their arrangements in Qingzhou City. The easiest way is to make inquiries in the streets and alleys.

The second is to let slaves play various ordinary roles and act as eyes and ears in the city.

It is still very difficult to directly install informants within the four major wealthy families, and they are probably not able to do it yet.

“The lower official has people keeping an eye on the Qin family. During this period, there are many branches of the Qin family in various states, and they seem to be discussing some important matter.” Li San said.

“Well, keep watching. If you find an opportunity, it’s best to put an informant in the Qin family.” Xiao Ming said.

Li San responded, turned around and left, only to see Wang Xuan, who had been waiting outside the door, come in and gave him a cold look with an iron face.

Li San shuddered and curled his lips. This Wang Xuan was silent and couldn’t kick him. It was really impossible to get along with him.

“Your Highness, Wang Chengchou is very happy now. It’s just that His Highness’s rejection of the candidate he recommended made him a little angry. There are many complaints in the palace, but there is no other news for the time being.” Wang Xuan’s voice was naturally hoarse, and he said every word. .

“Happy? It’s too early for them to be happy. Are you true that Wang An, the governor of Dengzhou, killed seventy-two members of the Fang family and occupied their fields?” Xiao Ming asked, Wang Xuan is a member of the Wang family, so naturally he has no interest in the Wang family’s personal affairs. It’s clear what’s going on underneath.

The Qin family suffered a loss this time, so they must be eager to take revenge on the Wang family. The Qin family lost a governor and a governor, and they must also want the Wang family to lose equal benefits.

Xiao Ming is now looking for evidence for the Qin family and secretly cannibalizing the power of the two families. When they suddenly realize one day, he has already controlled the army and government offices of the six states.

Even if they make a fuss, they are still monkeys in the hands of Tathagata Buddha and cannot climb out of Wuzhi Mountain.
