The morning light shines in through the cracks in the window, and in the bright and clear beam of light, you can clearly see the dancing dust particles.
In the study, a figure was standing in front of the huge map of Dongyang.
On the map, a red line came from Yiwu along the river, but was blocked by the Dongyang Pass. It crossed the high mountains on the side of the pass, and then headed towards Dongyang County. However, it suddenly turned around and turned southeast in the middle. Go straight to Shangxi Gold Mine.
The red line is getting closer and closer to the Shangxi Gold Mine, but black lines keep appearing one after another. Every time a black line appears, the red line's progress will slow down a minute.
It stopped completely in the end...
"Your Majesty, you are here so early." Liu Ji poked his head out from the pile of books in the study and couldn't help but stretch when he saw Li Xuan.
"As I said last night, the captain can go back to his room to rest, so why bother spending time here?" Li Xuan turned around and looked at Liu Ji, who had obviously not slept well all night, and shook his head in a funny way. .
In fact, the room Li Xuan prepared for Liu Ji last night was his own bedroom.
Liu Ji was originally the owner of this manor. Even though Li Xuan now captured the manor, he still only lived in the largest guest room.
After all, there are only two residences for the owner of the entire manor. One is Liu Ji's own middle courtyard, and the other is his son Liu Dao's stone courtyard.
It's a pity that although Liu Dao's stone courtyard was cleared out last night, it was once full of dead bodies.
Except for some tough soldiers in the army, no one likes to live there.
As for Liu Ji's middle courtyard, Li Xuan had people specially clean it up, specifically for Liu Ji to go back and live there.
Although Liu Ji is only the small hall leader of Tianyin Sect who is responsible for the supply of goods, such a person can easily know the supply details of Tianyin Sect.
What's more, his deceased wife was the former bodyguard of the Empress of Tianyin, and her understanding of the Empress was far better than anyone else's.
Everyone in this manor can now see clearly what Li Xuan is thinking.
But it's not that easy to make someone betray. Li Xuan doesn't have enough chips now.
How could Liu Ji not be clear about Li Xuan's kindness, but he also understood that now, every place inside and outside the entire courtyard had been searched for possible secret passages.
After making sure that nothing was missing, Li Xuan put back the maids that Liu Ji asked for permission last night.
Of course, there are also Qianniu Guards and Nanchang Fu Guards who are full of Anbu in the middle courtyard.
In addition, the entire manor, several miles inside and outside, has been thoroughly monitored.
Not to mention, before they attacked here yesterday, all the secret passages to the outside of the entire manor had been found, and nothing was missed.
Don't let anyone get close to you easily, and don't let anyone leave easily.
Even in order to prevent Liu Ji from finding any secret passages that they could not detect, each of those people who were sent back by Li Xuan last night were severely intimidated by Qianniu Guards.
Once Liu Ji escapes from the manor, they will be killed immediately.
Liu Ji knew all of this.
Until he relents on that matter, Li Xuan will never let go of his monitoring.
"The news came back last night, so Lan Daoyi has suffered seven large and small injuries. Some are arrow wounds, and some are bruises and scratches he received when he fell from the mountain. Some of them are even above fatal wounds. He has already I can't move forward anymore." Liu Ji walked out from behind the desk and looked at Li Xuan with a complicated expression: "Your Majesty, your purpose..."
"It's almost time to take the last step." Li Xuan nodded calmly, turned around, and looked at Liu Ji's complicated expression. Li Xuan said calmly: "The captain may not know something. I just passed the exam at the beginning. I simply feel that the Shangxi Gold Mine is difficult to attack. It has been dug more than 70 meters underground. I don’t want to take risks underground, so I can only use the heart-killing method."
Liu Ji's face suddenly became a little embarrassed, and there was endless fear in his expression.
Regarding Li Xuan's mind-attacking skills, Liu Jiyong could be regarded as personally learning it.
.
From the moment she arrived in Dongyang City, Li Xuan had already begun to manipulate things.
Gu Tan, Li Dingyi, Kang Yao, Huang Ziming, Xi Ying and others all fell into his control without knowing it.
Later, the Tianyin Sect's hidden secrets, Su Xuan, the madam of Lichun Court, the death row inmates at Caishikou the next day, the Tianyin Sect watching the death row prisoners, and even Liu Ji in Yunde Building in the distance were all captured by Li Xuan. Affected by the art of attacking the mind.
Now that Landao Yi is dead at the gate of Shangxi Gold Mine, who knows what the Tianyin cultists inside will be forced to do.
"The extent that the prince's heart-killing method can achieve will definitely exceed everyone's expectations. Now it depends on what result the prince plans to achieve." Liu Ji couldn't help but handed over to Li Xuan.
Li Xuan looked back, looked at the map on the wall, and then said calmly: "Behind the Shangxi Gold Mine is the Palace of the Prince of Yue, but standing in front of the stage is the Qian family, one of the four major families in Wuzhou. The Qian family, the Qian family has huge land and wealth throughout Wuzhou, and they are all ill-gotten gains."
After saying that, Li Xuan waved her hand, turned and walked towards the door.
In mid-air, Li Xuan said something: "I have to go back to Dongyang County today, so I won't be spending much time with the captain. Please help yourself today, captain."
It's up to you to help yourself, there's no point in it.
Liu Ji couldn't help but turn around and look at the location of Shangxi Gold Mine on the wall.
Kill the chicken to scare the monkey.
The Qian family is the monkey, and it is even possible that the Qian family will become the chicken, just like the Liu family today.
Behind the scenes of the Liu family is Liu Yizhi, a scholar from Zhongshushe and a scholar from Beimen.
The Qian family was involved behind the scenes with the Yue Prince's Mansion, but in the eyes of the Nanchang County Prince, these were nothing at all.
They are the weakest among the four major families in Wuzhou.
Standing on the bank of the Dongyang River, Li Xuan looked at the boxes of files and papers, and asked Wang Bo and Du Bixing beside him: "All the land deeds found from the Liu family, as well as the entire Dongyang's real estate status, are here. It’s inside.”
"Basically everything is there." There was still a trace of red in Du Bixing's eyes, and he cupped his hands towards Li Xuan and said: "To return to my lord, although the Liu family communicates and conspires against each other, they are indeed very generous in handling some things, many Ordinary people’s debts will be forgiven as long as they are said to be forgiven.”
"Indeed, it's no wonder that all the people from all over the country are grateful to them." Li Xuan shook his head and said, "It seems that when we return to Dongyang today, we will have to learn from them. Okay, let's not mention it. Come on, board the ship."
Li Xuan took the lead in stepping on the wooden plank and boarded the official ship, followed closely by Wang Bo and Du Bixing.
"Two gentlemen, it's better to find a place to have a good rest first. It's about half an hour before we go to Dongyang County, so it's okay to take a short rest." Li Xuan made arrangements for Wang Bo and Du Bixing gently.
The two of them took the officials from Nanchang Prince's Palace, the people from Dongyang County Hucao, and the accountants found from Liu's family. After carefully calculating all night, they finally calculated all these things.
"Follow the order!" Wang Bo and Du Bixing saluted politely, then turned around and went to rest in the cabin.
Li Xuan stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the Liu Manor that was gradually receding, and fell into deep thought.
I have to admit that Liu really put a lot of thought into the location of this manor.
This can be the only place to go from the state city to Dongyang County. Once this is cut off and sentries are posted around it, even if the number of people is several times greater, they will not be able to easily break through here.
Think about it, once the Tianyin Sect takes over Dongyang County, Li Xuan will definitely be blocked from this manor even if he leads an army.
Outside this manor, there will inevitably be a fierce battle.
As the saying goes, it will be exhausted after one vigorous effort, and even if this place is conquered, it will be even more difficult to attack Dongyang City.
vice versa.
"You don't want to give this place back." A clear voice sounded behind Li Xuan.
Li Xuan turned around and suddenly saw Liang Fuling wearing a blue men's robe, standing there handsomely, but when she looked at Li Xuan, there was something in her eyes.
Full of power to see through people's hearts.
Li Xuan nodded directly and said solemnly: "If this place is used well, it will be able to hold back the main force of Tianyin Sect. So, at least, after this war is over, I will not use this place. If you return it, when you return to Dongyang today, you will have a good discussion with the officials in Dongyang County about how to deal with it here."
The people in Dongyang County may be a little worse at other things, but they are also very good at bargaining.
Fortunately, Li Xuan has more than one identity.
The official ship docked at the pier, and a number of carriages were already waiting on the pier.
Li Xuan watched as his men loaded the files one by one into the carriage, and then followed the carriage slowly towards Dongyang County Government Office.
Riding a horse slowly on the streets of Dongyang County, Li Xuan's eyes swept up and down.
The streets in the entire county were deserted, with only a few people buying food and then quickly returning home.
The Tianyin Sect incident had a profound impact on the entire Dongyang.
Almost every family has people who believe in Tianyin Goddess, and just yesterday, almost every family has people who abandoned their belief in Tianyin Goddess.
It can be said that at this moment, people's minds are particularly empty, and this lack of faith is not that easy to make up for. ..
But when it comes to issues of faith, Li Xuan can be considered a professional counterpart.
The carriage ahead stopped at the gate of the county government office, and Li Xuan slowly rode forward.
County Magistrate Gu Tan, County Lieutenant Kang Yao and others, together with a group of officials from Dongyang County Government, immediately stepped forward and bowed their hands in salute: "Greetings to the prince, prince Qianqiu."
"Everyone, please get up." Li Xuan waved to Gu Tan, who immediately stepped forward. Li Xuan said directly: "Gu Xian Cheng, now, in the name of the county government, go and invite the Taoist and Buddhist experts in the city. Go and do a dojo to pray for the people who died yesterday.”
"Your Majesty wanted to appease people's hearts, but I ignored it." Gu Tan immediately understood Li Xuan's thoughts, and then raised his hands and asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to invite the Taoist disciples alone at this time?"
"It seems that I left a deep impression on the county magistrate yesterday, right?" Li Xuan smiled lightly and said, "It doesn't have to be that way. Although Dongyang is not a big county, it wants to appease the whole city in a short time. The people's thoughts, I am afraid that there is not enough, why would I only invite everyone from the Taoist sect. Moreover, people in the world are not all the same, and everyone has their own preferences, so it is better not to force it."
"What the prince said is true." Gu Tan immediately raised his hands to Li Xuan in admiration.
Li Xuan nodded, looked at the farm documents on one side, and sighed: "Mr. Bixing and Mr. Zian, together with many messengers, spent a whole night sorting out these things. It was really hard work."
"I will definitely come to this office to ask for credit for Mr. Bixing and Mr. Zian." Although Gu Tan's tone was sincere, his eyes could not help but fall on those papers.
Li Xuan couldn't help but said in a funny tone: "Don't look at it. It's time to separate these things soon, but you still have to distinguish between the true and false, and make sure there are no mistakes. .”
"Here!" All the officials of Dongyang Mansion agreed with their hands at the same time.
