Now that a top-level strongman has appeared, and he has hatred and disputes with the Beitang royal family and the Dayong Dynasty, we can completely make friends with him and win over such a nuclear-level force.

Such people, unlike ordinary talents, are extremely rare, even unique, and they play a very important role. Even if the martial arts flourish further in the future and the martial arts realm is further opened up, they will still be a force that can be trusted and relied upon.

  Hearing Meng Zhao's question, Liu An explained,

"These two are both favorites of the Great Emperor and our leaders. Where they went and what they did were kept secret and they did not tell us. However, they should be closely related to the investigation of the assassination of the twelfth prince. Perhaps the one who is hunting them is the real murderer of the twelfth prince?"

Liu An's analysis is not wrong, it's just too conventional.

In his opinion, the only purpose of Beitang Sheng sending this group of people here was to investigate the case. After all, what kind of thing could be more important than his own son being murdered?

But he forgot that for an ordinary family, a son is a son and there is blood relationship between them, but in the royal family, a son is just a threat to one's own power and position, and the so-called blood relationship is not so valued.

Speculations that deviate from the direction will naturally lead to results that are completely contrary to the original intention.

Although other people had different thoughts, they did not dare to come to other conclusions. They could not say that Beitang Sheng disregarded family ethics and did not care about the death of his own son, but instead focused on other things.

Meng Zhao also knew that these people were of too low a level and could not get in touch with the core circle at the level of the nameless eunuchs Zhao Ruling and Yu Changkong. Even if they knew some information, it was mostly trivial and insignificant news.

"Forget it, let's not talk about these for now. Lord Lei, how are the arrangements between you and Beitang Shu regarding Qiao Nian going?"

Lei Wanche hastened to tell the Ninth Prince about the progress of the past few days. In fact, with his advice and his willingness to take the initiative to pull Beitang Shu away from the responsibility for Qiao Nian's death, the Ninth Prince must have been overjoyed.

The result was very obvious. It was exactly as they had discussed before, linking Qiao Nian's death with the investigation into Beitang Xing's assassination, giving him some benefits and adding some posthumous glory. At the same time, it also brought some political help to the Xueyi Marquis' Mansion to offset the Xueyi Marquis's accountability in this matter.

Lei Wanche is a seasoned politician after all. Although he has not been in the court for a long time, he is also a veteran in the military and political circles of Jizhou and is very familiar with all the twists and turns.

The Bloody Marquisate was indeed heartbroken over the death of a son, but a death in vain and a death with value were two different things.

Although it was heartbreaking, aristocratic families like theirs, although they loved their younger generations, valued family inheritance and the expansion of power more. Compared to this, everything else had to take a back seat.

  Meng Zhao nodded and said,

"Okay, that's it for now. In addition, there are a few things I need to discuss with you. You can listen in and make some suggestions."

Lei Wanche felt a little uneasy, but he didn't dare to raise any objections and just pretended to listen.

"The first thing is to hand over to me the relevant list of forces, people and people that your Lei family has made friends with. Don't worry, I won't destroy your Lei family. I just want to understand the current foundation and scope of your Lei family's power and make some preparations.

In the future, those who are not yours or mine will not be allowed to exist in Jizhou."

Although this sentence was plain and simple, the message and domineering power it revealed made everyone present terrified.

The list is indeed the core resource of all forces and families, big and small. Whoever controls the list controls a huge network of relationships and channels, which is extraordinary. It is much more valuable than so-called gold and silver wealth.

Although Meng Zhao's request for the Lei family's roster was a bit abrupt and overbearing, it was reasonable after all. The lives of the Lei family father and son were under Meng Zhao's control. One thought could lead to life or death, which was not an empty talk.

Everything that belongs to the Lei family naturally also belongs to Meng Zhao. This is a plunder of the weak by the strong.

Of course, the means of plunder vary from sophisticated to shallow, from in-depth to superficial, and the levels of the means vary.

Although Meng Zhao has no intention of interfering in the Lei family's affairs for the time being, he definitely does not want to be a blind man and let the Lei family do things right under his nose.

In addition, as Meng Zhao said, in the future, if you are not one of his people or a member of the Lei family, it will be difficult for you to survive in Jizhou.

So, what will be the fate of those who are not from the Lei family, nor the Meng family, but are from the Beitang family?

Lei Chongmao, Liu An, Shi Jiawen, and Yan Libing were almost subconsciously certain that they were in an extremely miserable situation, and that the destruction of their families and clans was just a matter of time.

This was almost telling everyone that the Dragon King of Beimeng was by no means a loyal minister. He had ulterior motives and held great ill will towards the Beitang royal family.

But, at the moment, few people don’t think there is anything wrong with it.

Firstly, they could only listen to what Meng Zhao said but could not spread it. Otherwise, they would be seeking death. After all, they were in the same boat with Meng Zhao. If Meng Zhao's boat capsized, they would also drown.

Secondly, everyone knew what the Beitang royal family was like. Since the founding of the country, the imperial power had been divided a lot. Regardless of the fact that martial arts were weak at that time, the royal family had a deep foundation and strong high-end power, so they could go smoothly.

Today is a time when heroes compete for supremacy and martial arts are reviving, the royal family's advantage has long been exhausted.

Not to mention that Meng Zhao was just talking, the rebellion in the south and southwest was in full swing, and had even spread to the Central Plains, and the Beitang royal family had not taken any effective measures to stop it.

It’s the same old saying, any loyalty, any expectation, has its limits.

Meng Zhao was not sure whether the Beitang royal family really did not have the power to end the rebellion or had other plans.

However, the rebellion, which was never ended, did deal a severe blow to the reputation and prestige of the royal family.

We are not blind. Since your royal family is not strong enough, don't blame the powerful people for stepping forward.

In the eyes of these people, the Meng family and Meng Zhao are definitely powerful.

Of course, Meng Zhao then slowly uttered a message, which made everyone's hearts beat wildly and their thoughts became confused and difficult to concentrate.

"Lord Lei, I am not targeting you. Not long ago in Yanzhou, I have made an engagement with General Tan Changming's granddaughter, Tan Caier, and General Tan has given his approval. I have also kept a copy of the Tan family's roster, so you can rest assured."

The meaning of this sentence was truly earth-shattering to the people in the tent.
