Seeing these two people whispering non-stop along the way, Xiao Ran was curious and couldn't help but ask: "What are you talking about? Do you know the reason why the Governor invited us here?"
The Xiao family had Xiao Yu's explanation and did not participate in the plan against Yang Fan.
It was expected that Wang Yu and the others did not reveal the silence to the Xiao family.
Therefore, Xiao Ran was still confused at this time and didn't know what happened.
"What does it have to do with you?" Wang Yu replied coldly.
After saying that, he called the group of people who followed him and followed Li Tai.
If he doesn't leave now, do he have to tell Xiao Ran that his plan will fail?
Besides, the most important thing for them now is to find a way for Li Tai to keep them.
Although given their respective identities, it was expected that Yang Fan would most likely not dare to kill them all without explanation, but who would dare to take this risk?
On the other side, in the county jail, the sound of "ding, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, clang" was heard constantly.
The deafening sounds of fighting could be heard endlessly.
Groups of soldiers suddenly rushed out from the darkness, their armors shining brightly as the fire flashed, and their steps were strict and murderous!
Apparently, the entire county jail was surrounded on the third and outer floors.
This time, Zhang Liang took the lead in robbing the camp. Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Liang gritted his teeth and said: "Everyone, in order to survive, rush out for me!"
How could he not want to fall into Yang Fan's hands!
Once caught, he has no chance of survival.
Soldiers from various families gathered together, raising their weapons and making noise, eager to attack the formation of soldiers.
At this time, Zhang Liang's face turned pale, knowing that he had entered a trap.
He just wanted to escape before Yang Fan arrived, so he strode forward and shouted sternly: "This is Zhang Liang, Duke of Yun State. This time, it is the emperor's order to bring people to interrogate the captured pirates, no matter who you are." My subordinates, please retreat quickly, otherwise I will report to Your Majesty to punish one of you for committing the above crime!"
He originally thought that with his dignity as a duke, he could repel these soldiers.
Unexpectedly, it was a good thing that he didn't make a sound. As soon as he made a sound, there was a sound of swords being unsheathed and bowstrings being loaded in the opponent's array.
The front row uniformly displayed their sharp swords, while the back row had their arrows strung up. The cold arrow clusters shone coldly under the firelight, covering all of them.
These people were the fierce soldiers who accompanied Yang Fan in bloody battles in Yuntai Mountain and crawled out from among the dead.
At this moment, they were in full formation, with their bows on their swords and their swords unsheathed. A strong murderous aura suddenly filled the whole place, as if the king of beasts opened his bloody mouth and bared his sharp fangs!
At the same time, torches were raised around the entire prison, and all roads were blocked.
All those in prison become turtles in a urn, unable to escape even if they don't even have wings!
Although the dead soldiers of each family have received strict training, when faced with the heavy siege, their arms trembled and their faces turned ashen.
After all, everyone has fear in the face of death.
If Zhang Liang, the temporary leader, hadn't been standing in front of them, they might have scattered in all directions.
But with everything around him blocked, where can he escape?
Zhang Liang also changed his color at this time.
He has been among the military all year round, so he naturally has some knowledge.
Knowing that these fierce soldiers in front of them are definitely tiger warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles.
It seems that Yang Fan not only knows what to do tonight, but also knows exactly when they will arrive.
Otherwise, how could such a group of elite soldiers be placed in the prison?
Zhang Liang knew that it would be difficult to escape tonight, but he still refused to give up his efforts. He shouted with his halberd finger: "You are too bold! You dare to point your weapon at a prince. Do you want to rebel? Don't hurry up. Push it away quickly, otherwise I will make you walk around without food!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone from the soldiers sneered: "The founder of the country? What a great official, he scared us to death..."
Another person said: "Yes, yes, Lord, please spare me. Why do you, such a big official, have to be as knowledgeable as a small soldier like us?"
Everyone made sarcastic remarks, and Zhang Liang's face turned livid with anger!
Sure enough, whoever leads the troops.
These soldiers are really like Yang Fan, they don't take the court officials seriously at all.
In any case, he was also a prince of the country, and no one except the emperor had the right to deal with him.
What's more, since he escaped from the last siege of Yang Fan, the court has not caught him, and there is no evidence to prove that he besieged Yang Fan.
Therefore, Zhang Liang's status as a prince is real.
Just when Zhang Liang wanted to make a last-ditch effort, he heard someone from the opposite side shouting: "Shut up, everyone!"
Then a tall military commander stood out from the crowd and walked directly in front of Zhang Liang.
A pair of tiger eyes stared at Zhang Liang for a long time, and then asked contemptuously: "Are you Zhang Liang? I heard that you also participated in the siege of our Grand Governor in Yuntai Mountain? Looking at you like this, you are simply too cowardly, right?"
Seeing how rude this man was, Zhang Liang trembled all over and pointed at the general with trembling fingers, unable to speak.
Ever since he became the Duke of the State, how often had Zhang Liang been treated with such contempt?
Before Zhang Liang could say anything, a person next to him immediately stepped forward and said angrily: "Who are you? How dare you be rude to the Duke of our country? Do you want to live anymore?"
The young general laughed and said, "Who are you trying to scare? When we brothers were in Chang'an, we dared to fight even the prince. A prince is nothing!"
"Want to know grandpa's name? Haha, listen carefully. I will not change your grandpa's name or surname. He is Xue Li."
After hearing this, Zhang Liang's face turned red and he was also secretly frightened.
Su heard that Yang Fan asked Xue Rengui to go to the south of the Yangtze River to build ships on his behalf.
Isn't this guy over there in Quanzhou? Why is he here in Huating County now?
Yang Fan gathered all his men here in Huating County. Now it seems that he wants to concentrate his efforts on wiping out the Jiangnan gentry here!
No matter what Zhang Liang thought, Xue Rengui never looked at Zhang Liang again. Instead, he glanced at the group of dead soldiers, raised the spear in his right hand high, and shouted: "The Governor has ordered that everyone put down their weapons and surrender, otherwise... …Kill without mercy!”
Zhang Liang felt his eyes go dark and said to himself that it was over.
Yang Fan's men really dare to kill people!
Those guys don't care whether you are a prince or not.
Zhang Liang's intestines are almost turning green now!
I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune so that I could have the capital to turn around in the future, but I didn't expect that I would fall into Yang Fan's trap.
It's simply a case of stealing chicken and rice.
I originally thought it was just a simple set of tasks, and I could escape no matter what happened, but now everything is over.
Alas, I blame myself for being too greedy!
But who would have thought that Yang Fan would be so well-informed?
I thought this was a God-given opportunity to make money, but I ended up falling into the hands of Yang Fan, and all my previous efforts were wasted...
However, an idea flashed in Zhang Liang's mind.
yes!
Originally, this was all the idea of the Jiangnan gentry, and these people were all members of the Jiangnan gentry.
As long as he denies it, who will dare to accuse his leader afterwards?
In any case, he has not been deprived of his position as the Duke of the country.
No one had conclusive evidence when besieging Yang Fan in Yuntai Mountain. Even if Yang Fan caught him, he would not dare to do anything to him.
In the end, wouldn't it have to be sent to Chang'an to wait for the emperor to make a decision?
Relying on his military exploits in founding the country, the emperor would remember his old feelings no matter what, and would not blow his head off.
Thinking of this, Zhang Liang could no longer resist.
Anyway, as long as he insists and puts all the responsibility on the Jiangnan nobles, his life will not be in danger.
Besides, what’s the point of resisting now that things have come to this?
Now Xue Rengui has led people to surround this place, which shows that the plans of the Jiangnan nobles are already under Yang Fan's control.
If you want to control Jiangnan, dealing with these Jiangnan nobles must be more important than dealing with yourself.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the plan was feasible. Zhang Liang drew out the horizontal knife from his waist and furiously dealt with the dead soldiers beside him.
The few dead soldiers were unprepared and directly became the ghosts of Zhang Liang's sword.
Zhang Liang shouted while waving his knife: "General Xue, Zhang was coerced by Jiangnan nobles and entered the county jail by mistake. Please ask General Xue to help me escape."
Such a sudden change made Xue Rengui a little confused.
What kind of show is this?
But before Xue Rengui could react, a voice came from outside.
"Zhang Liang, your ambition colludes with thieves, and you actually want to frame the Jiangnan nobles. What are your intentions?"
Following the sound, I saw Li Tai and Yang Fan leading a group of people standing outside.
It was Li Tai who spoke. His eyes were splitting, and he was obviously very angry.
there's no way!
If all the Jiangnan nobles were implicated in this matter, then most of Li Tai's supporters would lose. This is an unacceptable pain for Li Tai.
At this point, Li Tai could only protect the Jiangnan gentry first.
Wang Yu, who was following Li Tai, also quickly applied his sword and said: "Grand Governor, Zhang Liang is lying, don't believe it, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with us."
Seeing that Wang Yu wanted to put all the blame on himself, Zhang Liang shouted angrily: "Wang Yu, a manly man, do you dare to do it or not? What is the use of a Jiangnan nobleman like you? It seems that your Wang family wants to be among the noblemen." Eliminated!"
Wang Yu, who was standing behind Li Tai, felt a little guilty.
However, seeing Zhang Liang entangled with the dead soldiers, I felt reassured.
In his opinion, as long as Zhang Liang is killed and all the responsibilities are put on his head, Yu shouted: "Zhang Liang farted on your mother! If you hadn't colluded with the thief, how could you have fallen into the situation you are in today?" "
"When you united with everyone in Shanyue to besiege the Governor for your own selfish interests, did you ever think that you would be dismissed from office?"
"Now you want to add insult to injury and take advantage of the situation. It's so shameless! What a prince, bah, I think you are more of a bandit than a bandit. Fortunately, Mr. Wang has always regarded you as a hero. Now it seems that I am really ashamed to be in your company!"
Zhang Liang was so angry that he was so angry that he almost died from the knife.
Zhang Liang felt that he was wronged!
Speaking of which, Zhang Liang went too far in besieging Yang Fan in Yuntai Mountain.
But now that these former allies in Jiangnan have directly passed the blame away, it is inevitable that people will feel cold...
What's more, the battle in Yuntai Mountain was led by you shameless people who call themselves the Hairpin family. What does it have to do with Zhang Liang?
He didn't want to quarrel with Wang Yu, not to mention that he couldn't explain clearly at the moment, so he stared at Yang Fan and said loudly: "Grand Governor, no matter what, I am also a prince of a country. Now I am besieged by thieves, but you stand by and watch. Aren't you afraid?" Your Majesty’s punishment?”
"As long as you eliminate all these thieves, I will tell you everything I know and tell you all the dirty things about the Jiangnan nobles. As long as you can guarantee my safety!"
Hearing this, Wang Yu was also anxious!
If Zhang Liang betrayed him and revealed all his plans, the Wang family would probably have no chance of turning around.
After all, it would definitely be a capital crime for him, Wang Yu, to take the lead in targeting Yang Fan.
What's more, he still wants to find someone to kill Yang Fan!
Although he didn't have to admit it, no matter what the facts were, Yang Fan would never give him a good lesson afterwards.
What a joke! !
Who would allow a person who wants to kill himself all the time to exist?
Besides, Yang Fan is a person who is determined to retaliate. If he is targeted, he will still have a peaceful life.
Therefore, Wang Yu's heart sank and he secretly made a gesture to the dead soldiers.
In an instant, countless dead soldiers attacked Zhang Liang directly like a tide, obviously determined to fight to the death.
Seeing this, Zhang Liang was completely at his wits end.
It is simply impossible to deal with these things by yourself.
Now he just hopes that Yang Fan can be kind enough to save his life.
Otherwise, he would only be able to chop melons and vegetables against the hundreds of dead soldiers.
Seeing that Wang Yu wanted to kill someone and silence him, Yang Fan waved his hand.
The soldiers immediately divided into two teams. One team held horizontal knives to watch on the spot, and the other team held crossbows and launched an attack on the dead soldiers.
Seeing the help of soldiers, Zhang Liang couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It is better to die than to live, who wants to die!
In the face of the absolute advantage, all the dead soldiers were slaughtered in a short time, and the scene was like purgatory on earth.
Yang Fan did not stay long and took Li Tai back to the Governor's Mansion before the battle was over.
As for what to do next, Yang Fan believes that Xue Rengui knows what to do.
By the time Zhang Liang realized that he had narrowly escaped death, Yang Fan had disappeared.
Looking at Xue Rengui who was ordering the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, Zhang Liang wiped the blood on his face and said to Xue Rengui: "Take me to see the governor immediately. I have something important to report."
Looking at Zhang Liang who looked aloof, Xue Rengui was naturally not polite.
He stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Liang's wrist, twisted it back, and then kicked his kneecap, shouting: "I've tied it up!"
Under the severe pain, Zhang Liang's legs "popped" and he knelt on the ground.
At this time, blood filled Zhang Liang's pupils. When had he ever been so insulted in his life? He said angrily: "How dare you, Shuzi! I am the Duke of the country and the founding hero of the country. How dare you insult me in this way?"
Xue Rengui said disdainfully: "Under the rule of the governor, princes break the law and are guilty of the same crimes as common people. It doesn't matter who you are as a prince. As long as you commit a crime, you will be punished immediately. If you dare to talk more, believe it or not, I will knock your mouth out!"
Zhang Liang was furious with Xue Rengui's arrogant behavior, but he could only swallow his anger.
These arrogant men in the army are the most lawless. If they continue to talk, they will really catch up with me, and then they will be disgraced!
Zhang Liang did not dare to play with his "official authority" any more. He obediently tied his hands behind his back and dared not speak out.
The situation was completely controlled, and a group of soldiers escorted Zhang Liang and a group of dead soldiers to the capital governor.
Such a large-scale war naturally caused a sensation in Huating County, and the entire county exploded.
The people were at a loss and didn't know what was going on. They were about to go out to inquire about the situation, but found that all the traffic arteries in the city were blocked.
At every intersection, torches flashed and people were seen, surrounded by groups of soldiers.
Seeing this, the people had no choice but to stay at home and wait for the progress of the matter.
