It's none of your business, hang it high!
Li Tai could pretend that nothing happened, but the people present could not.
Most of the Jiangnan nobles were involved in tarnishing Yang Fan's reputation.
What's more important is that everyone heard the female assassin's guarantee in person today.
Everyone felt chills on the back of their necks when they thought of the female assassin's swordsmanship and elusive Qinggong.
With such an elusive and powerful skill, it would be troublesome for anyone to be targeted.
The expressions of everyone present were extremely gloomy. One of Huang's disciples was the most cowardly. His voice was trembling and he said, "Brother Wang, this...isn't it true? Maybe it's just the female assassin putting on a show?"
Wang Yu glared at the timid guy and asked, "What if what the assassin said is true?"
The people present turned pale and did not dare to speak.
I was thinking about whether to leave Huating County temporarily, or even leave Jiangnan, and go to hide overseas first.
Li Tai pondered for a moment and said to Wang Yu: "Since you invited the assassin, why not let him stop?"
"That's right! Brother Wang, please tell the assassin to stop immediately!" The people present's eyes lit up and they immediately said.
Wang Yu looked around and smiled bitterly: "Everyone, although I really want to deal with Yang Fan, I really don't know about the assassin. You have to believe me!"
Seeing that Wang Yu didn't look like he was lying, everyone sighed, and in their hearts they just wanted to scold mmp.
However, no one present was stupid, and someone immediately thought of the key point.
"Think about it, everyone, Yang Fan usually retaliates, but today he generously let the assassin go. Do you think it is possible that Yang Fan knew that this assassin was not hired by us, so he deliberately let the assassin go, just to let the female assassin find us in the future? Trouble?"
Wang Yu sighed softly: "After I returned, I thought carefully about it, I'm afraid that Yang Fan did have this intention, so I deliberately let the assassin go, and at the same time, I gave him justice to let him wake up and turn the spearhead on us..."
Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but take a breath.
Yang Fan could still come up with such a vicious plan in such a crisis situation. This guy is too insidious!
"Yang Fan is too disrespectful. He has let down the king's wishes."
At this time, Li Tai's face was filled with anger and injustice.
Just now, I wanted the Jiangnan nobles to stop and let Yang Fan and the Jiangnan nobles live in peace.
Now it seems that Yang Fan is the one who stirs up trouble.
Although Li Tai wanted to take Yang Fan into his own hands, his supporters were the Jiangnan gentry.
Without the support of these people, Li Tai would not be able to fight with Li Chengqian.
Li Tai has always believed that the reason why Yang Fan wanted to deal with the Jiangnan gentry was because the Jiangnan gentry hindered his reforms.
But now most of the Jiangnan nobles have swallowed their anger, but Yang Fan relied on the emperor's trust and the bravery of his soldiers to act arrogantly and do whatever he wanted. How could this not make Li Tai angry?
If Yang Fan really wipes out the Jiangnan gentry, what will Li Tai do to compete with Li Chengqian for the crown prince position in the future?
Without a group of people to support him, Li Tai would be just a puppet emperor even if he ascended the throne.
Thinking of Yang Fan showing weakness to the Jiangnan nobles in Yuntai Mountain, he tempted the major families to send dead soldiers to surround and kill them.
I thought Yang Fan was doomed, but it turned out to be a desperate counterattack designed by Yang Fan.
This guy not only defeated the Jiangnan Allied Forces, but also slaughtered all the dead soldiers of the major noble clans. He was extremely cunning!
Unexpectedly, a small assassination incident was exploited by Yang Fan again this time.
Li Tai didn't expect that Yang Fan could come up with such a sinister plan to deceive the Jiangnan family when they were on the verge of despair. It was so insidious!
If the female assassin really finds out that it was the Jiangnan nobles who spread the news.
Once the female assassin wipes out the Jiangnan nobles one by one, won't his supporters become frightened?
Rubbing his temples, Li Tai said helplessly: "Everyone, I asked you to come here today just to discuss the matter of the female assassin."
"Although you didn't find this assassin, Yang Fan doesn't think so. He will definitely blame you for this."
"The top priority is how to coordinate the relationship with Yang Fan. If both parties suffer, then the gain outweighs the gain!"
After hearing Li Tai's words, everyone was silent!
If he wanted to live in harmony with Yang Fan, the governor of Jiangnan, the only way was to give up his family's interests.
Money moves people's hearts!
For hundreds of years, Jiangnan has been the Jiangnan of the Jiangnan nobles. It is almost impossible to get them to spit out the meat they eat.
But then again, now that Yang Fan has strong soldiers and horses, who can guarantee that he can stop Yang Fan?
Although Yang Fan has repeatedly promised that as long as the Jiangnan clan does not cause trouble, everyone will eat the meat together, but who doesn't want to eat alone?
The most important thing is that slandering Yang Fan's reputation was a plan that Yang Fan had already implemented when he came to Jiangnan. It is too late to stop now.
Seeing the posture of the female assassin today, if she is really allowed to find the person who created the rumors, once revenge is launched, who among the people present will be able to escape?
You must know that all the aristocratic families in Jiangnan have been involved in these rumors.
However, those present also had a sense of luck.
After all, even if the female assassin found out the clues, she would not be so unlucky that she would be the first one to find her.
Therefore, the people present did not pay much attention to the female assassin's words.
After all, if someone was really troubled by the female assassin, he would have no problem escaping somewhere else.
People are always like this, whether they are faced with benefits or dangers, they always have a sense of luck.
Therefore, what everyone is most worried about is not the female assassin, but the pirate leaders who have been captured.
After all, the reason why the pirates have been able to run rampant in Jiangnan for so many years has the shadow of the Jiangnan nobles behind them.
Once these pirates confess, many Jiangnan nobles will be implicated.
Among the people present, Wang Yu was the most worried.
You must know that the Wang family has been able to rise rapidly and has done many shameful things with these pirates.
Now that he heard Li Tai's persuasion for peace, Wang Yu had no objections and said hesitantly: "Ahem, His Highness personally came forward. Of course we have no objections. We are just worried that Yang Fan will not let us go so easily!"
"Why?" Li Tai looked confused.
In his opinion, as long as these people surrender, Yang Fan will not kill them all!
Everyone looked embarrassed, and finally Wang Yu said: "Your Highness, the pirate bandits in the Jiangnan area were so powerful in the past few years that even the navy of the imperial court had no way to deal with them, so everyone cooperated with these pirates."
"Now Yang Fan has taken the blame for the pirates. Once these pirates confess, Yang Fan may settle the score later."
Hearing that these people were actually involved with the ferocious pirates, Li Tai pointed at these people and was speechless.
His chest rose and fell rapidly for a long time before Li Tai held back the anger in his heart and said with some hatred: "You guys, you guys, how can I say that you are so good, you are actually getting together with the ferocious pirates, where do you put the laws of the court? "
But no matter what, he couldn't ignore this matter.
After pondering for a moment, Li Tai continued: "The leaders of the pirates are now imprisoned in the county prison. Find some people to silence them forever..."
"Breaking into the county jail to kill me?"
Hearing that Li Tai actually asked them to find someone to attack the county prison, everyone was a little unbelievable and couldn't help but scream.
They didn't expect that the prince Li Tai would break the law.
You must know that robbing the county government prison is tantamount to rebellion!
Just now, Li Taicai scolded them for colluding with pirates. Where did this put the king's law?
Now he is encouraging them to rob the prison. This is crazy!
Seeing the strange looks in Wang Yu and others' eyes, Li Tai smiled awkwardly, but he was more angry.
These guys are so arrogant!
If it wasn't useful for me to ascend to the throne, I really wouldn't want to care about these guys.
No matter what, now is still a time for mutual benefit and reciprocity, but we cannot ignore it.
Once Yang Fan gets the handle, Yang Fan won't care about Li Tai's face, and the trouble will be big!
Thinking of this, Li Tai said coldly: "Do you have a better solution?"
No one present dared to talk to him anymore, which was regarded as acquiescence to Li Tai's suggestion.
As everyone left, Li Tai's temporary residence became quiet again.
It was late autumn in the south of the Yangtze River at this time, and it was the plum rain season. The slightest drizzle made the entire autumn night seem even more peaceful.
The dripping eaves and the sound of water dripping on the stone slabs can be clearly heard.
Although there is no curfew in Huating County, there are very few pedestrians on the streets.
Occasionally, one or two figures holding oil-paper umbrellas hurried past.
In the eyes of writers, plum rain is a good season and a source of inspiration for creation.
But don’t think that the plum rain in the south of the Yangtze River is always so poetic and picturesque, and that there is also a ferocious and violent side hidden in the calm night.
A manor on the outskirts of Huating County was soaked by a drizzle today, making Nuo Da's manor look even more deserted.
Outside the manor, several figures suddenly walked up. It was raining continuously, and the light wind was blowing the rain. The oil-paper umbrella in the hands of the visitors was blown by the wind and tilted from time to time.
Although the rain was not heavy, it also soaked the corners of my shoulders and shirt.
Several people walked in a hurry, ignoring their wet clothes, and quickly arrived under the eaves at the entrance of the manor.
"Bang bang bang..."
There was a knock on the door.
About half an hour later, footsteps were heard in the manor.
With a creak, the door was opened, revealing a gap in the courtyard door, but it was a servant dressed in blue cloth.
"King...Wang Yuan, I wonder why you are here now? Your Excellency is already asleep!"
The servant in green cloth was a little surprised that Wang Yu came in the middle of the night.
It turned out that this person was Wang Yu and his party who had just come out of Li Tai's house.
Wang Yu was not surprised by the servant's inquiry, but said: "Brother Zhangsun is in the house. I have something important to call you. Please pass the message."
The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, although this is just a servant, why should this servant belong to the Changsun family?
Although the eldest grandson Anye was demoted to the south of the Yangtze River by the emperor, the eldest grandson's family was one of the top families in Chang'an.
Although Wang Yu was very confident, he did not dare to disrespect Changsun Anye, the middleman.
What's more, I still have something to ask for today!
The servant was not surprised by Wang Yu's respect. He just said "oh" and closed the door again to report.
This time the servant turned back after burning the incense, opened the courtyard door again, and then said sideways: "The master is already waiting in the study. Mr. Wang can go on his own. Others can go to the lobby to rest."
Wang Yu nodded, waved to the servants who came with him, and asked them to follow the servants to the lobby, while he walked towards the study.
Obviously, Wang Yu is quite familiar with this manor.
Along the way, the manor was very large, but it was extremely exquisitely repaired.
There are all kinds of rockeries and screens, and there is even an exquisite waterside pavilion built beside every lotus pond.
If it's summer, it's definitely a good place to cool off.
Wang Yu walked through the front yard and went straight to the study room of the main house. He raised his hand and knocked on the door a few times. At the same time, he said loudly: "Brother Zhangsun, I'm sorry for Wang's intrusion late at night."
An energetic male voice in the room said: "Brother Wang, no need to be polite, just come in!"
Before he finished speaking, the door opened, and what came into view was an extremely handsome young man.
The young man smiled slightly and said, "Please come in."
It's a little cold outside, but it's warm as spring inside.
The study room is not very big, but the decoration is exquisite.
Impressive mahogany floor...
There are rows of bookshelves on both sides...
There is a lacquered tea table in the center of the study, which is obviously used to entertain guests.
A set of quaint tea sets was placed on the tea tray, and there was also a crystal porcelain plate containing some fruits.
The eldest grandson Anye, wearing blue uniform, was kneeling behind the coffee table and staring at the teapot on the coffee table.
Seeing Wang Yu come in, the eldest grandson Anye waved his hand casually: "Zezhou, sit down wherever you want. This is my useless nephew, don't be restrained!"
"Come on, come on, this pot of tea will be ready soon. It's this year's Tegong Longjing tea. You can't even drink it if you have money. Try it..."
After saying that, the eldest grandson Anye said to the young man who opened the door just now: "Chong'er, this is the future head of the Wang family. You two know each other!"
This casual gesture made Wang Yu feel faintly angry.
The eldest grandson Anye called his cousin directly, and in a casual tone, obviously treating him as a junior.
Although the Wang family could not be in today's situation without the help of eldest grandson Anye.
But when Changsun Anye was sent to the south of the Yangtze River, he was a lowly person in front of him.
Unexpectedly, after all these years of supporting him, this guy would start to make trouble with himself?
Was it him who called Zezhou?
Except for King Li Tai of Wei, who wouldn’t give yourself a face and call him Brother Wang?
what!
Now my Wang family is different from the past, it is no longer that small family.
Wang Yu was still a little wary before his eldest son Anye was assigned.
But now that the Wang family has become a mature family, there is no need to keep looking at the face of eldest son Anye.
But when he thought that he had something important to do today, he could only hold back his anger. After greeting Changsun Chong, he said with a smile:
"Brother Zhangsun is so polite. Today's continent is a blessing. It is said that the Tegong Longjing is a special product and is absolutely not allowed to be sold on the market. The Yang family is also very strict in controlling and managing it. I don't know what brother Changsun has ever done. Where did you get it?"
With that said, Wang Yu sat at the tea table.
Hearing Wang Yu's compliment, Changsun Anye's face was full of pride and he said proudly: "Oh, isn't it my brother Changsun Wuji? He said that the humidity in Jiangnan is heavy, so he got some tea leaves to go away the cold."
"Haha, so what about Tegon? Our Changsun family has a lot of Tegon things in our family."
"Who is Yang Fan? No matter how strict he is, he still has to send it to the emperor. As long as the emperor has it, our eldest son's family will not be short of it... Oh, by the way, what's the matter with Zezhou in the middle of the night?" ?”
Hearing the eldest grandson Anye boasting, Wang Yu felt a burst of contempt in his heart.
What kind of cow?
Without the emperor's support, your eldest grandson's family would be nothing!
Besides, does the current rise of the eldest grandson family have anything to do with your eldest grandson Anye?
I am still complacent here, and I don’t know where the confidence comes from.
Wang Yu was too lazy to argue with the eldest grandson Anye. After all, he had to settle the matter first, so he said: "Nowadays, Yang Fan has made the Jiangnan area a mess. It is so hateful."
"Since Yang Fan came to Jiangnan, there have been rumors that he likes to eat human flesh. His reputation has been ruined. Moreover, Yang Fan went south to compete with us Jiangnan people for profit. Therefore, we decided to resist together and make it difficult for Yang Fan to move forward in Jiangnan!"
"The reason why I came in the middle of the night was because I was entrusted by other Jiangnan people to discuss cooperation with Brother Changsun to plan big things together..."
Seeing Wang Yu being so straightforward, Changsun Anye and Changsun Chong looked at each other, a little surprised.
However, they knew very well that the enemy of their enemy is their friend, so Changsun Anye couldn't help but ask: "What plans or plans do you have?"
