The sky was covered with red clouds, and the early winter sunset added a touch of warmth to this cold world. There were only a few sparse figures on the long street, gathering in small groups with their arms in their arms.
Ning Fan sat on a carriage, opened the curtains, and his eyes were in a trance.
"Look, it's King Xuan Yong's bicycle frame!"
"I just heard that King Xuan Yong led the Jinyi Guards to raid the Chen Mansion. I didn't expect to see him so soon!"
"The Chen family is one of the four famous families, and King Xuanyong actually dares to attack them!"
Ning Fan did not hear the comments of the people on the street. A horse neighed and the carriage swayed. Dian Wei tightened the reins and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, be careful!"
"Um?"
Ning Fan seemed to notice something unusual, as a cold light shot out, and a sharp sound broke through the air near his ears.
However, Ning Fan had already noticed it. He leaned back and an arrow suddenly hit the carriage. The tail of the arrow shook and made a trembling sound.
"There's an assassin!"
Dian Wei raised the two halberds beside him and whispered: "Your Highness, sit still!"
I saw his legs suddenly kicked off, and he jumped directly onto the carriage, his eyes swept around, looking in one direction!
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Three more arrows were fired in succession, and as two figures shot out, Ning Fan's eyes flashed with cold light, and he waved his hand and threw it out the window. Three darts were shot out at the same time, accurately knocking away the three arrows!
Two more darts were thrown, shooting straight towards the two men in black who rushed up. The people on the street were already scared out of their wits, and they had to retreat for a hundred meters before they could stop themselves!
"These assassins are so brave, they dare to assassinate the current prince in the street!"
"hiss!"
"It's simply lawless!"
"It can't be someone from the Chen family again!"
The movement on the street soon alerted the Forbidden Army. The two assassins blocked Ning Fan's hidden weapon, looked at each other, and drifted away.
Ning Fan's brows furrowed. The ten assassins in the Chen family had already been wiped out, and now two more assassins appeared. Could it be that the Blood Demon Pavilion sent more than ten people this time?
"Your Highness, are you okay?"
Dian Wei hurriedly got into the carriage with a look of concern on his face. Ning Fan shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice: "Keep walking, we'll get to the Yamen first!"
"yes!"
Dian Wei said hello to the imperial guards, then drove the carriage towards the Jinyiwei Yamen.
And the news that King Xuan Yong was assassinated in the street spread instantly in the capital. Many people suspected that these assassins were also sent by the Chen family!
…
Jinyiwei Yamen, Jiang Yu and Jia Xu also received the news of Ning Fan's assassination, and directly led a team to greet him!
"Your Highness, are you okay?"
"nothing!"
Ning Fan shook his head slightly, looked at Jiang Gu, and said in a deep voice: "Catch these two fleas out for me!"
"Your Highness, don't worry!"
"Have the four survivors been interrogated?"
"Your Highness, they didn't get any important information out of their mouths. They are already dying!"
"In that case, give them a break!"
Jia Xu looked at Ning Fan and asked tentatively: "Lord, where is your Majesty..."
"That's right!"
When Jia Xu heard this, there was a sparkle in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "My lord, if the Chen family is destroyed this time, you will be the first to bear the brunt, and you will not be tolerated by any family in the world!"
"So, you should plan ahead!"
"What do you think sir?"
Jia Xu pondered for a moment, then spoke in a solemn voice: "In order to obtain the Chen family's iron smelting technology, our manpower in the Chen family has been exposed and withdrawn!"
"However, the Chen family has also lost the imperial court's weakness, like a tiger that has had its teeth pulled out!"
"I have three strategies!"
"Sir, please speak!"
"First, ruin his reputation!"
A gloom flashed in Jia Xu's eyes, and he spoke solemnly: "A big family, the most important thing is reputation. Over the years, the Chen family has had a lot of lives on their hands, and they are even more domineering in Shuzhou, causing public resentment!"
"My first policy is to make all the Chen family's scandals known to the public and arouse public indignation!"
"I, Jin Yiwei, can do this in plain clothes. Now that Chen's house has been ransacked, it is the focus of the people in the capital. All we need to do is find a few people with good intentions and spread the news in restaurants and teahouses, and then it will spread throughout the capital!"
"Not just in the capital, but also in the south of the Yangtze River, especially in Shuzhou, find the oppressed people and report them to the Jinyiwei Yamen!"
"In this case, if Jinyiwei takes action, it will definitely attract attention. If he sends people to secretly provoke him, the Chen family will be overwhelmed by the overwhelming public resentment!"
When Ning Fan heard this, a look of emotion appeared on his face. He was indeed the poisonous master Jia Xu. This plan would definitely push the Chen family to the forefront!
The aristocratic family has always relied on their integrity, but reputation is the most important thing. This first move can make the Chen family infamous!
"What about the second strategy?"
"Second plan!" Jia Xu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said calmly: "My lord, the Chen family has many disciples and former officials in the court. Now the Chen family has colluded with the King of Huainan and conspired to rebel. This is ironclad evidence!"
"We only need to send people disguised as the Chen family, go to the mansions of these disciples and former officials, and recruit them to rebel together!"
"Even threatening it with your life will definitely damage the reputation of the Chen family!"
As soon as Jia Xu's second plan came out, Jiang Wei frowned and said softly: "These people are not that easy to fool, how can we make them believe us?"
"If the secret is revealed, the gain will outweigh the loss!"
"Haha, just find someone to forge a secret letter from the Chen family and send someone to send it over. If the other party doesn't respond, assassinate him on the spot and expose some flaws!"
A look of surprise appeared on Jiang Wei's face, and he sighed sadly: "Although this plan is wonderful, it will hurt innocent people!"
"Then just find a few people who are not innocent!"
Jia Xu said confidently: "There are many among their disciples, former officials, or cronies in the court who deserve to die!"
"Kill him or her!"
"At that time, some people may have doubts, but in the end, some people can be convinced that no matter whether it succeeds or not, it will destroy the reputation of the Chen family and even disintegrate their alliance!"
Ning Fan nodded in agreement: "This plan is feasible!"
"The third strategy is even simpler!"
Jia Xu raised his tea cup, moistened his throat, and continued: "After my lord takes action against the Chen family, everyone in the world's aristocratic families will be in danger. Although they usually fight with each other, they have interests involved!"
"Over the years, the Chen family has offended many people. There are also political enemies in the court and enemies in Shuzhou. My lord only needs to send people to contact them, and someone will take action on my lord's behalf!"
"When the Chen family was alive, it maintained the interests of many people, but if the Chen family collapses, more people will benefit. This is the human heart!"
A peaceful smile appeared on Jia Xu's face: "Destroy its reputation, destroy its reputation, divide its power, support its enemies, and the Chen family can collapse in an instant!"
"Let these aristocratic families take action first, and the lord will plan and act later, so that they will not become the target of public criticism and trigger attacks from the aristocratic families all over the world!"
