In the bedroom, the breeze blew in, and the truth of a careful calculation that outsiders didn't know about was revealed at this moment.
"Prefecture city service soldiers, what a state city service soldiers." Wang Fanglin sneered at himself and gritted his teeth and said: "How could I not have thought that they would actually manipulate the soldiers? In this way, there is no need at all. Move the children of those aristocratic families."
The assassination itself was a joint effort between the Wuzhou family and the Tianyin Sect.
Therefore, after the assassination, Wang Fanglin, Qin Ming and others directly focused their suspicion on the various aristocratic families in Wuzhou.
However, after two months of hard work, nothing was found.
"Because the assassination was orchestrated by a wealthy family, but the people who actually did it were always people from the Tianyin Sect, so it's useless to focus on them." Li Xuan nodded, then frowned fiercely. , asked in confusion: "Then what price did these aristocratic families in Wuzhou pay to make the Tianyin Sect willing to do this? What did they give to the Tianyin Sect?"
The aristocratic families have always regarded the Tianyin Sect as a tool, and the Tianyin Sect is very aware of this.
Assassinating Wang Fanglin would indeed bring them benefits, but it would also attract special attention from the center.
It is actually difficult to measure the gains and losses.
Under such circumstances, it would be strange for the people of the Tianyin Sect not to give a big bite to the wealthy family.
"Food, weapons, that's all. I'm afraid these are the only things that can move the Tianyin Sect to attack a governor like me." Wang Fanglin leaned back slightly, and his expression turned completely cold.
"They are not afraid that the Tianyin Sect's people will seriously threaten themselves if they get this batch of ordnance. Also, where did they get this batch of ordnance? Is this not a trivial matter?" Li Xuan raised his head and looked at Wang Fang Lin said with confusion on his face: "Uncle Shi, Li Yuanyi, who joined the army of Cang Cao, is not only a close confidant of Uncle Shi, but also a member of the royal family. With him here, there should be no problems for Cang Cao."
Li Xuan had only been in Wuzhou for one day, and he had already discovered that Wang Fanglin had completely mastered all aspects of the entire state government.
Among the six Cao Cao who joined the army, four Cao Cao were all his cronies, and all of them were smart and capable people.
"It's not Ku Cao." Wang Fanglin shook his head, rejected Li Xuan's concerns, and explained: "Not only Li Yuanyi, but also Qin Ming will inspect Ku Cao's matter regularly and will not let any problems arise. If my guess is correct, I may have to hand over all the weapons of my family’s defense in this matter.”
"They don't want their lives." Li Xuan couldn't help crying out, and then he said with sharp eyes: "If they are so reckless, they are really not afraid that when the Tianyin Sect arrives, they will kill the entire Wuzhou family. Of?"
Tai'a, this is the way to die!
"First, the rebellion of the religious bandits is a matter of the imperial court. No matter how bad the situation in Wuzhou is, the imperial court can always clean it up in the end. As long as it is cleaned up again, they will be able to obtain more land than before, so In the end, these aristocratic families will definitely not lose."
Wang Fanglin lowered one of his five raised fingers, and then he continued: "Secondly, the one who really goes out to associate with the Tianyin Sect is only one of the four families in Wuzhou, and the other families are hiding behind it. Even if evidence is found, the most likely one will be found is one family’s scapegoat.”
Li Xuan nodded.
Their expressions were serious, indeed, with the personalities of those aristocratic families, they would definitely not all come forward.
Even the aristocratic family that came forward in the end was the chess piece that was most easily discarded.
"Thirdly, even if they handed over some of their weapons, but now more than two months have passed, they may have transferred new weapons from outside the state. Compared with the old ones, they are even tougher and sharper. It is not that easy for a wealthy family. Knocked down."
Wang Fanglin sneered, shook his head, and said: "The Tianyin Sect is just a knife used by them. How can they let the weapons in their hands cut themselves? What's more, they will not let the Tianyin Sect's people If we take the state capital, the corruption will only be outside the city."
If there is no chaos in Wuzhou City, then the properties of these aristocratic families in the city will not be damaged.
As for the land outside the city, it is left there. It doesn’t matter who will occupy it for a while. In the end, it will still have to return to the hands of the court.
"But those people from the Tianyin Sect don't think so. Based on my nephew's observation among the soldiers in the city, nearly 30% of these soldiers are Tianyin Zhongcheng believers. Once they are activated, the government will not be able to do anything. There is no resistance. Under such circumstances, why do the aristocratic families think that they can protect themselves?" Li Xuan's face was full of confusion, but then he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Do they still have their own rights elsewhere? To protect your strength?”
"It can only be explained this way." Wang Fanglin nodded with emotion, then raised his eyes and looked at Li Xuan: "The troubled times of the Southern and Northern Dynasties were only a hundred years ago, and the troubled times of the late Sui Dynasty only had less than one Jiazi. Although the Tang Dynasty ruled the world, But the aristocratic family still has a lot of cards, so it won’t be defeated so easily.”
"That's why Uncle Shi didn't attack them easily." Li Xuan nodded with some understanding.
"With them here, at least there is hope for the city to be saved. If they are pushed into a hurry and directly rely on the Tianyin Sect, Wuzhou will fall faster. Besides, their background in the court is not easy to mess with." Wang Fang Lin shook his head with a wry smile.
"My nephew understands that we must deal with the Tianyin Sect's troubles before taking action against these aristocratic families in Wuzhou." Li Xuan nodded, and as his eyes moved, it could be seen that he had already made plans.
"Be careful of them holding you back." After a slight reminder, Wang Fanglin followed up and said: "The aristocratic family is not monolithic. The Shen family focuses on their official career. Once such things are exposed, at least Shen Qian, the governor of Changzhou, will His official career is completely over. The Yang family has very few people, but unfortunately it has been suppressed. The Teng family has passed down poems and books. Even if it has ulterior motives, it is not deeply involved. On the contrary, it is the Qian family."
"The Qian family has mines. If you have mines, you can smelt iron. If you have iron, you can make weapons. Uncle Shi, don't worry. My nephew will save it." Li Xuan nodded.
He has been eyeing the Qian family from the beginning, or rather, he has been targeting the Qian family from the beginning.
"How to divide each family depends on the methods of the wise nephew." Wang Fanglin couldn't help but shook his head, laughed at himself, and said: "Just a fight at the city gate was enough to shock the four major families. "
After Li Xuan was assassinated at the city gate of Wuzhou, the major families in Wuzhou took frequent actions and took frequent measures to protect themselves.
After all, even they did not expect that the Tianyin Sect would be so bold, and that the Tianyin Sect would dare to take action before Li Xuan stepped into the gate of Wuzhou City.
You must know that once something happens to Li Xuan, the emperor may immediately send an army to Wuzhou, and then conduct a thorough bloody purge of the major families in Wuzhou.
There has been such a precedent before.
When the emperor is unreasonable, you can only use your own flesh and blood to meet his cold blade. new
"It's not surprising. After all, all they want is more land, but they have never thought about a real rebellion." Li Xuan sneered.
As long as you know what they want and grasp their greed, you will naturally be able to grasp the context of these aristocratic families.
"The Tianyin Sect is too sharp, and the Wuzhou family is uneasy. Maybe we can use this to find the real main force of the Tianyin Sect." Wang Fanglin finally brought the topic to the only issue that Li Xuan and his party were concerned about.
Where is the main force of Tianyin Sect?
"Uncle Shi, Wuzhou is said to be big, but it's actually not that big. After all, there are only a few key roads going back and forth. It's enough to be stuck. But if it's said to be small, it's actually not that small. A random farm can be enough to hide it. There are hundreds of people, and now that it’s summer harvest time, it’s even harder to find them.”
Li Xuan had a look of worry on her face.
Even he didn't have a good way to solve this problem, so he could only solve it in stupid ways.
As long as the main force of the Tianyin Sect cannot be found for a day, Li Xuan can only hide in the city of Wuzhou for a day.
After all, they wanted to attack and kill Li Xuan outside the city. It was not too convenient for the army to raid.
Although Li Xuan likes to take risks, even if he wins in this kind of fatal situation, it is still a partial victory.
no need.
"Leave it to Qin Sima to take charge of things outside the city. He can't find the whereabouts of bandits."
To be better at it, the wise nephew only needs to focus on the city. "Speaking of this, Wang Fanglin's face suddenly became serious: "The good nephew has now made the Tianyin Sect and the Wuzhou family suspicious. You must not be distracted at this time, seize the opportunity to chase and fight, and let them fight each other. The possibility of reunification is completely lost."
"My nephew has a plan for this matter." Li Xuan looked at Wang Fanglin and whispered, "But it requires Uncle Shi to sign and seal six official documents."
With that said, Li Xuan took out six written official documents from his arms and handed them to Wang Fanglin.
At this time, a trace of worry flashed in Li Xuan's eyes.
Zhang Yi had said before that Wang Fanglin could not read official documents, and Li Xuan was a little worried.
"Hey!" Wang Fanglin just glanced at it and immediately showed a look of surprise.
Then, he looked at the second official document and the third official document very quickly.
In just a few glances, he read all six official documents.
Li Xuan immediately understood that Wang Fanglin was focusing on the key points.
In a very short period of time, I caught the key words in Li Xuan's official document and saw through all the inner tubes of the official document in a blink of an eye.
Of course, this is Wang Fanglin's extreme trust in Li Xuan, otherwise Wang Fanglin would never see any pitfalls here.
At this moment, Wang Fanglin raised his head and looked at Li Xuan with amazement on his face: "With this series of tricks by my nephew, I am afraid that the foundation of Tianyin Sect in the city will be completely broken. If I give my nephew more At that time, I am afraid that the Tianyin Sect will no longer be able to survive in the entire southeast."
Strangely, at this time, Li Xuan unexpectedly shook his head calmly and said: "Uncle Shi is overly praised. In fact, these are just some small tricks. As time goes by, not to mention the Tianyin Sect, even those slick old officials in the government can do it." Figure out how to deal with it.”
When Wang Fanglin heard this, he immediately came to his senses, and finally said with emotion: "You are right, but I have thought too much about my uncle. Well, it's up to you. The governor's seal is here. You can take it and seal it yourself." .”
Wang Fanglin pointed to the side of the pillow, and Li Xuan's brows instantly raised.
It seems that the governor Wang is not very relieved about his situation.
Li Xuan stepped forward, took out the governor's seal, and then sealed it one by one in front of Wang Fanglin.
For these things, Li Xuan must use Wang Fanglin's imperial seal.
It's not that he couldn't carry out this special order without the governor's seal. It's just that if he does it forcefully, not only will others have reason to refuse, but these things will inevitably become a means of targeting him in the future.
It’s better to be more careful and leak-free when doing things.
Putting the governor's seal back again, Li Xuan turned sideways, looked outside the door, stood next to Wang Fangli, and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Shi, who is Zhang Canjun, the recorder?" Whose person?"
"Did you see it?" Wang Fanglin raised his head in surprise, his eyes full of surprise.
Li Xuan nodded slightly and said: "After Uncle Shi was assassinated, Chang Shi died on the spot. Sima was busy going back and forth every day. Instead, this clerk joined the army and became the highest official in Wuzhou after Qin Sima. Both of them, he is also from the Zhang family in Wuzhong, so he cannot be from Uncle Shi."
"After a living uncle was assassinated, he became the only outsider who benefited the most. How can my nephew not doubt him?"
"Especially, if my nephew fails to come to Dongyang and something happens to Qin Sima at a critical moment, then Zhang Canjun will probably become the real actual controller of Wuzhou at some point."
Li Xuan's face was full of sneers. This was the real reason why he had always been suspicious of Zhang Yi, both openly and secretly.
