In front of the Bayong Tower, Qian Zhuo was sitting astride a carriage, wearing a crow-green robe, holding a grass pole in his mouth, looking cynical.
At this moment, a loud roar suddenly came from the Ba Yong Tower above the upper level: "White rice and green grass, cooking with gold and jade, thank you for the rich feast, Your Majesty!"
"Everyone is welcome. We have finished having fun today. Let's go home and meet again later." Li Xuan's gentle and penetrating voice followed closely.
Qian Zhuo jumped down from the carriage in an instant, quickly called to the guards around him, and stood solemnly on both sides of the carriage.
At this time, Li Xuan, who was wearing a golden black silk robe and an elegant look, walked out of the Eight Wings Tower surrounded by everyone.
Qian Zhuo couldn't help but frown when he saw the heads of various aristocratic families in Wuzhou and the many officials in the government fawning over them.
Soon, everyone dispersed and everyone boarded their own carriages.
Seeing his brother coming back, Qian Zhuo quickly stepped forward and helped his brother get into the car.
Before he fully entered the car, Qian Zhe couldn't help but ask: "Qilang, how are you? Did anything else happen tonight?"
The reason why Qian Zhuo did not enter the Ba Yong Tower banquet tonight was because Qian Zhe left him outside to deal with various information from the outside world.
The Qian family is one of the four major families in Wuzhou. Compared with the Shen family who specializes in official careers, the Teng family who cultivates the literary world, and the Yang family with a small number of people, they are the actual controllers of the entire Wuzhou.
The Qian family owns the most land, minerals, shops, and fleets in Wuzhou.
In addition, with the Yue Prince's Mansion as their back, almost no one dared to provoke them.
Tonight, although the Qian family did not know the details of the Tianyin Sect's assassination operation, they were vaguely aware of something.
"There is no big news. Except for the previous assassin who was caught in a trap by the King of Nanchang, the rest are all small things." Qian Zhuo carefully told Qian Zhe that after today's assassination, the soldier Cao joined the army Yan Tao and led his people from one workshop to another. Parading the assassin's body through the streets.
This dynasty's curfew is restricted outside the square, but not inside the square.
Therefore, there is no point in parading on the streets. We can only parade in one neighborhood after another.
"Brother, this one of ours has really taken his murderous approach to the extreme. This time, Tianyin's people in Wuzhou will be shaken no matter how much." Qian Zhuo couldn't help but shake his head.
According to the news now coming back, it is strange that none of the devout believers of Tianyin Sect came out to fight for their lives against the government.
Thinking of this, Qian Zhuo asked subconsciously: "Brother, how is it inside, King Nanchang..."
"It's nothing more than a means of coaxing, suppressing, and threatening to bribe." Qian Zhe leaned on the carriage, shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said, "Although the method is crude, it is very effective. The Shen family and the Teng family have been completely destroyed. Even if I win you over, it’s hard to refuse even if you’re a brother!”
Although the Qian family was backed by Prince Yue's palace, it was not without taboos.
It was okay when I was in Wuzhou. Once I left Wuzhou, I don't know how many people in Hangzhou didn't buy their face.
Not to mention Suzhou and Yuezhou.
No matter how much land and wealth the Qian family has, it is still not the right path.
Only by making a breakthrough in the imperial examination can the Qian family firmly stand among the four great families in Wuzhou, unlike now...
"Yang Family!" Qian Zhe slapped his thigh fiercely and said in horror, "Something's wrong. Why haven't the Yang Family people shown up yet? What happened to the Yang Family?"
The King of Nanchang invited the four major families in Wuzhou at the same time, but the question is why the Yang family hasn't shown up now that the banquet is over.
"That's right, the Yang family." Qian Zhuo also reacted at the same time and said with a horrified look: "Today, if they were under control because of the assassination and it was inconvenient to come forward, then after that, they should also come to the banquet. Sin!"
"Unless, they can't come." Qian Zhe's expression became serious, and he calmed down instantly. He looked at his younger brother Qian Zhuo, and said in a hurry: "Quick, Qi Lang, send someone to investigate the situation of the Yang family, just in case. Something happened..."
Halfway through his words, Qian Zhe suddenly stopped.
Li Xuan's cold face suddenly flashed in his mind.
When he was in the Bayong Tower before, Li Xuan once said that the wasteland should be used to grant farmland to the people of Muzhou who have moved to Wuzhou for many years. But the question is how much wasteland there is in Wuzhou. This year, the land will be granted to the people of Muzhou. What about next year?
What will the people of Wuzhou do next year when it comes time to grant land to them? What will they do if they have no land to grant at that time?
It’s not that no one has mentioned this issue before, but the King of Nanchang didn’t seem to care.
Qian Zhe was shocked. It was not that the King of Nanchang didn't care, but that he was already prepared.
If something happens to the Yang family, the huge land owned by his family will immediately be taken over by the King of Nanchang.
Of course, the Yang family is not easy to mess with.
After all, his family is an aristocratic family in Wuzhou, and there are countless people who have close ties with him.
Even if some evidence of treason is found, the crime may be reduced by a few degrees after repeated operations.
We just have to wait and see how the King of Nanchang wants to deal with it. Does he want to swallow up all the Yang family’s land in one go, or does he want to leave a little room?
But no matter what, as a result, next year's field transfer will definitely be available.
"One after another, our Prince Biejia is really scary!" Qian Zhe let out a long sigh.
In his opinion, Li Xuan's behavior was a little rough, simple, and even cruel.
Unlike some real strategists, the spring breeze turns into rain, moistening things silently,
But these methods of his can always hit the heart of people's hearts steadily.
At this point, even Qian Zhe had to sigh with emotion and feel fear in his heart.
The carriage began to move forward slowly. After an unknown period of time, Qian Zhe said, "Qi Lang, no matter what, my Qian family will not stand opposite the King of Nanchang. Do you understand?"
"Little brother, I understand." Qian Zhuo's mouth twitched slightly, but then his expression became normal.
A group of carriages walked towards the gate of the square. After leaving the gate, they were about to go back to their respective homes. However, just as everyone was leaving the gate, a Qianniu guard suddenly appeared in the middle of the carriage of the Qian family. He said a few words to the guards outside.
The news immediately reached Qian Zhe.
"What, the King of Nanchang, wants us to go with him?" Qian Zhuo couldn't help but look at Qian Zhe opposite: "Brother."
Qian Zhe nodded thoughtfully, then stuck his head out and told the driver: "Follow the carriage in front."
The carriage began to move forward again, but in a northerly direction.
"We are going to Yang's house!" Qian Zhe couldn't help sighing and said, "I thought tonight's banquet was a bit weird. I didn't drink much wine at all. The King of Nanchang actually said that he was exhausted. It turns out he’s plotting this!”
"Brother, are you really going to ransack the Yang family?" Qian Zhuo looked a little uneasy. Z.br>
The Yang family was one of the four major aristocratic families in Wuzhou. His home was raided, and Qian Zhuo felt as if a rabbit had died and a fox had died.
"No matter what he does, we don't need to charge ahead tonight. We will just be spectators tonight." Qian Zhe saw everything thoroughly, and finally he couldn't help but said: "Starting from tonight, Wuzhou The city will all fall into the hands of this King Biejia."
The Tianyin Sect was purged, and aristocratic families were drawn together and divided.
The officials of the state government had already submitted to the King of Nanchang, and the city gates and watchtowers were all controlled by the King of Nanchang.
In addition to the people in this city, the King of Nanchang has truly become the king of Wuzhou City.
If you think about it carefully, in just a few days, the entire Wuzhou City has already undergone such earth-shaking changes.
The Qian family's residence is in the west of Wuzhou City, while the Yang family's residence is in the northwest of Wuzhou City.
Although the west of the city and the northwest of the city seem to be just one word apart, they are actually very far apart.
When the carriage appeared on the street in the northwest of the city, Li Xuan
The destination of this trip, no one doubted anymore, was the Yang family mansion in Pingshunfang in the northwest of the city.
The entire Pingshunfang, inside and outside, is filled with descendants of the Yang family.
The Yang family does not have many direct descendants, but there are indeed many collateral descendants. But even so, compared to other aristocratic families in Wuzhou, their family has the fewest descendants.
It is also true that in their family, all the houses where the children of some status live are big houses.
The black-framed carriage stopped in front of the square gate, and they didn't call the gate. They just parked there steadily.
None of the people behind him dared to cross.
At this moment, bursts of neat and clear footsteps came from the street on the left.
Then, a whole group of Wuzhou soldiers wearing light blue robes, holding long guns, carrying crossbows and looking solemn came running quickly from the street on the left.
At a rough count, there were fifty people, no more than one, no less than one.
The leader was surprisingly none other than Xu Jian, the Wuzhou soldier who inspected the school and joined the army.
Li Xuan's carriage was headed by a large number of people, and their faces were full of solemnity when they saw Xu Jian appearing with his men.
Sure enough, yesterday the King of Nanchang promoted Xu Jian to the rank of Inspector and Soldier Cao to join the army. Today, his soldiers are already looking good.
At the same time, another burst of footsteps came from the other side.
Everyone turned around subconsciously, and suddenly saw another group of people, all wearing black uniforms and a layer of battle armor, holding long spears, running quickly from the other side.
This time there were not as many people as before, about thirty people, all carrying long bows and crossbows, and their bodies were stronger than before.
Just a dozen breaths later, a group of people had stopped on the right side of the motorcade, solemnly.
In the black carriage, a hand stretched out at this time and waved lightly.
The next moment, more than a dozen Qianniu Guards immediately headed to the left.
Join the group on the left and gather exactly fifty round numbers.
The leader of this group of people was Yan Tao, who had been suspended from his post as Wuzhou Bingcao and joined the army.
The soldiers under him are all Wuzhou warriors recruited in the past two days, and each of them has considerable strength.
After a few simple adjustments, he was already looking good.
At this time, the curtain of the carriage at the front was opened, Li Xuan poked his head out, and then looked to one side: "Zhang Canjun, call the door!"
"Here!" Zhang Yi, who was riding a horse, immediately stepped forward, looked at the gate of the square, and shouted loudly: "Zhang Yi, who joined the army to record affairs in Wuzhou, ordered Pingshunfang to open the gate of the square under the order of Wuzhou's farewell."
"Pingshun Fangfang is taking orders." Fang Zheng of Pingshunfang has already been waiting behind the gate.
There was so much noise outside, how could he not hear it.
I have been waiting for orders from outside.
It was now the time of curfew, and the gates were locked. No one was allowed to open them unless ordered by a higher-ranking official.
In Wuzhou today, not many people have this right.
The governor, Biejia, Changshi, Sima, recorded affairs and joined the army, the Bing Cao joined the army, and the Fa Cao joined the army.
At least three people are here now, not to mention that the governor Wang Fanglin is seriously injured. The one who really calls the shots is Li Xuan.
The square door creaked open, and without Li Xuan having to say anything, Qiu Zhenmu had already rushed in with his Qianniu Guards.
In the blink of an eye, he had controlled the entire Fangmen.
At this time, Li Xuan's black carriage slowly drove in.
In the center of the long street, the old residence of the Yang family in Wuzhou is located.
