On the roof and courtyard wall, archers appeared quickly one after another, pointing their cold arrows directly into the courtyard of the backyard.
There are four courtyards in the entire mansion. In addition to the main house, the first three courtyards have east and west courtyards.
It doesn't look very poetic, but it can house as many people as possible.
There is only the fourth courtyard, and in the last backyard, there are no east and west courtyards, only a whole row of connected houses.
At this moment, the doors of these houses are all locked tightly.
With a "clang" sound, the big lock on the courtyard door was cut off directly.
Immediately afterwards, there was a "bang" and the courtyard door was knocked open.
A dozen Qianniu Guards hid under the shields and rushed straight into the courtyard step by step.
Afterwards, a group of government soldiers followed and quickly divided into two teams, one on the left and the other on the right. They were separated on both sides of the Qianniu Guards, but were separated by more than ten meters from them. The crossbow arrows behind the shields were raised. , aiming at all the doors and windows of the dozen or so rooms in front.
At this time, Li Xuan, accompanied by Qiu Zhenmu and Zhou Shen, walked in from the third courtyard.
Looking at the closed room, Li Xuan's face turned cold. He looked up at the archers on the courtyard wall and ordered in a cold voice: "Archers, prepare rockets."
What Li Xuan is best at, besides water flooding, is fire attack.
Back then, Zhuge Liang relied on these two skills to dominate the entire Three Kingdoms.
Li Xuan read the entire Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms and learned nothing else, but learned these two skills very well.
"Here!"
After Li Xuan gave the order, many archers present did not hesitate at all. They immediately took out the rockets in their bags, lit them and prepared to shoot.
Although there is a lot of water in the south, fire attack is the most effective way to kill people in a water battle, so every archer will prepare several rockets.
Just as the city was about to be engulfed in flames, the door in the middle was suddenly opened.
Li Xuan raised her head, and the hand she was about to wave temporarily paused in mid-air.
Wearing a dark blue carp pattern robe, with a string of copper coins hanging around his waist, He Chang walked out with a gloomy expression on his face.
The door opened and closed, but at this moment, many people could clearly see that in addition to He Chang's cronies, many women could be vaguely seen in the room.
At this time, many people remembered the purpose of their coming here.
"Have you ever seen the Prince of Nanchang in Caobang? I don't know why the prince led an army to surround my residence. Can you please give me a reason?" After He Chang finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Li Xuan. His attitude seemed humble, but he was Full of edges and corners.
He was so courageous. Li Xuan was curious for a moment, who gave everyone in Caobang such confidence?
"Didn't your housekeeper tell you that under the orders of the Governor-General Shi, the entire mansion will be searched and killed if there are any obstacles." Li Xuan's eyes fell on the housekeeper Xu Fu on the door and window, looked around and said, "I, the king Remember Chang Sima explained everything very clearly!"
"Of course I know about this matter, but what I don't understand is that no one has given a reasonable reason why the Governor's Office wanted to search your residence. Is it possible that a private citizen's home is just allowed to be searched by the government for no reason? It's God's law. Where are you?" He Chang suddenly shouted, and there was a burst of noise in the room behind him. It seemed that many people were dissatisfied with this.
"You don't know?" Li Xuan turned to look at Qiu Zhenmu, frowning and asked, "Why, didn't Sima explain to them clearly what was going on?"
Qiu Zhenmu looked stunned, but then he thought about it and said: "Your Majesty, it seems to be true. Chang Sima seemed to have only said that he wanted to talk to the third master of Caobang at first, but the third master did not show any respect at all. Chang Sima didn't have time to say all the many things he said."
"So that's it. It seems you're out of luck." Li Xuan looked astonished, then turned to look at He Chang with a playful look on her face.
Although He Chang's face was solemn at this time, there was no trace of curiosity at all.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Li Xuan's mouth, and she looked at He Chang and suddenly said: "Master He, I know you are stalling for time, but I can tell you that if you continue
There is no time to delay, because even if your gang leader gets here, he will be blocked by Chang Sima. You are very unlucky. "
He Chang's expression couldn't help but change slightly. In fact, he had just noticed that there was no sign of Chang Yu at the scene.
I only thought that he was responsible for escorting the captured Cao Gang members and treating the wounded elsewhere, but I never expected that Chang Yu was actually arranged by Li Xuan to intercept Xu Ji, so even if Xu Ji could arrive in time Outside of this courtyard, it is difficult to get here in time.
"But I can tell you, and your men, the reason why your house was ordered to be thoroughly investigated by the Governor's Office today."
Li Xuan's gaze crossed He Chang's and landed on the house behind him. Many figures could be seen vaguely on the windows of the house.
People are curious and want to know everything clearly, but in many cases, this will cost people's lives.
"He Chang, Third Master He, your luck is really bad, because someone sued you and sued this courtyard. At 3:30 today, someone sounded the drum of injustice outside the Governor's Mansion. I accuse your Cao Gang of kidnapping her daughter and killing her father-in-law." Z.br>
Li Xuan paused for a moment, then sneered and said: "I believe you should remember the old man you threw into the river yesterday. Yes, that's him. He is not only the grandfather of the girl you kidnapped, but also your Cao Cao." Aye who is helping his disciples. Mr. He, you killed your brother’s father and kidnapped his daughter at the same time. I think even the Cao Gang will not tolerate such a thing.”
He Chang stood on the steps, and his face became extremely ugly before Li Xuan finished speaking.
He didn't know much about what happened yesterday. He just knew that an old man was here looking for his lost granddaughter. He ran into the backyard for some reason and saw something he shouldn't have seen. After that, he was killed by He Chang's men. He directly twisted his throat and threw it into the Mangchang River.
No one had ever told him that that man was their own brother's father, and that their own brother's daughter was probably kidnapped by them, even now, in the house behind them.
"Dong dong..." A few messy sounds came from inside the house, but they quickly disappeared.
Article 2 of the Cao Clan’s Ten Major Clan Rules states that members of the same clique are not allowed to kill each other.
Killing a brother in your own gang is against gang rules, kidnapping the daughter of a brother in your own gang, and killing the father of a brother in your gang is even more so.
Once such a thing spreads, not only the government, but also the Cao Gang themselves will have to deal with He Chang.
"He didn't know about this. If that's the case, He should be blamed!" He Chang admitted his mistake straightforwardly.
The noise in the house behind him suddenly quieted down. At this time, Li Xuan smiled.
"Master He, when we were outside the village, Chang Sima gave you a quarter of an hour to abandon your weapons and leave the house, and then the government conducted a search, but you refused, and you still resisted." Li Xuan's eyes were fixed on you. Looking at the figures on the windows, the people in the house immediately fell silent.
Li Xuan smiled faintly and said: "How to pursue this matter, how should it be pursued, this is Dou Weng's matter, I have no part in it, and I don't need to do it. Now, I am willing to give you and your men another chance. I will count five numbers. Anyone who puts down his weapons and surrenders within five numbers will be spared death. Otherwise, he will be killed without mercy."
Li Xuan's last word sounded like a cold wind in the ears of every Caogang boy inside and outside the house.
For a moment, these people looked at each other.
They were indeed He Chang's confidants, but they were also members of the Cao Gang, so of course they knew the gang's rules.
Now, when they heard that He Chang had killed the father of his brother in the gang, kidnapped his brother's daughter, and sold her to Huajieliuxiang, everyone couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied.
What He Chang did was wrong. Why didn't he conduct a thorough investigation before kidnapping someone?
In this way, if you can kidnap other brothers' daughters and kill other brothers' fathers today, then tomorrow...
Just when everyone felt uneasy, Li
Xuan's cold voice sounded again: "Five...four...three...two..."
Li Xuan's countdown was not very fast, but definitely not slow. In the blink of an eye, he had already counted to two. At this moment, there was a sudden noise at the courtyard gate. He Chang couldn't help but feel happy, but right here At this time, Li Xuan's cold voice continued to sound, and his hand also raised: "Two...one..."
"Wait a moment." Two voices sounded at the same time, one was He Chang standing at the door, and the other was an invisible person in the house.
He Chang's face instantly became extremely gloomy.
