Chapter 823 Overnight at the Wang Family Mansion
"You, Wang Xi, are only the king of Dandong. According to regulations, you can only have five hundred personal guards! Unexpectedly, you have thousands of soldiers just in the Wang family mansion. What crime is it for hiding five hundred soldiers?"

"What is the crime of recklessly using weapons against the prince of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Your Langya Wang family has no merits to the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty still granted you the title of king, and sold the cities in Goguryeo and Tubo separately. How much honor is the Tang Dynasty to Er Langya Wang family?"

"Your Langya Wang family not only betrayed their promises, but also ungrateful!"

"Of course, old Wang Xi, your biggest mistake is that you shouldn't provoke this king. Whether it's you hiding soldiers or plotting a rebellion, it's not my turn to punish you.

However, why do you want to break the contract that you signed in advance?This king never took the initiative to provoke others in his life!However, if someone dares to take the initiative to provoke this king, this king is not afraid of anyone! "

Looking at Wang Xi on the ground, Li Xuanyu said earnestly, with a helpless expression on his face.

Hearing this, Wang Xi just sneered, "Prince Jin, when did my royal family provoke you? The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. I still know the truth in this world, so you don't have to!"

Hearing this, Li Xuan felt that he had said what he had to say. The entire Jiangning City, whether it was ordinary people or aristocratic families, knew the reason why he wanted to destroy the Langya Wang Clan, so he didn't continue to speak loudly.

And he turned his head directly, and ordered to the civil and military officials of Jiangning City in front of him.

"He Dewu, Xie Lang, and others will quickly report to Chang'an. The Langya Wang family not only broke their promises, and privately violated the agreement with His Majesty to enshrine the kingdom, but also privately raised soldiers, at least five hundred, not worthy of being the king of Dandong!
In addition, the reckless use of swords and soldiers by thousands of soldiers from the Langya Wang family against the crown prince is a crime of treason. Please issue an order to punish and investigate all the ruling children of the Langya Wang family! "

Hearing this, Wang Xi, He Dewu, Xie Lang and others were startled.

Wang Xi's complexion changed drastically.

"Why, what do you think is wrong?" Li Xuan asked coldly.

"Please rest assured, His Royal Highness King Jin. When the general returns to the government office, he will write a memorial and expedite the six hundred miles to Chang'an!"

Feeling a sense of murderous intent, He Dewu trembled subconsciously, and hurriedly bowed his hands in salute.

Seeing this, Xie Lang also hurriedly bowed his hands in salute.

"Please rest assured His Royal Highness King Jin and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. When I return home, I will immediately write the memorial and send six hundred miles to expedite it!"

"Ok!"

Seeing this, Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he looked up and looked around.

Li Xuan said again: "I will send someone to clean up these corpses as soon as possible. This king will live in the Wang family's mansion tonight!"

"How does this make it?"

Xie Lang was startled, and quickly said: "The Wang family's mansion has been damaged so badly, both King Jin and His Royal Highness the crown prince are rich, how can they live here?"

He Dewu also hurriedly said: "The last general can also find a house for King Jin, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and others, and invite King Jin, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and you young men to live there!"

"There's no need for that!"

Li Xuan shook his head, "This king has already nagged many people today, so I won't bother others!"

After finishing speaking, he ignored Xie Lang and He Dewu and others, but turned his head directly and gave orders to Zheng Fu.

"Send personal guards to guard around the Wang's mansion and set up sentries. I will live in the Wang's mansion in the next few days!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zheng Fu saluted solemnly.

"In addition, send someone to search the Wang family's mansion carefully, especially the study rooms of the Wang family's various stewards, to see how many evil things the Wang family has done during this period of time!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Immediately, Zheng Fu went down to make arrangements.

"Everyone, go and get busy with your own government affairs. After a day of tossing around, it's time for the king, the crown prince and others to rest!"

Li Xuan turned around and said to Xie Lang and He Dewu and others.

"This……"

Xie Lang and all Jiangning officials were dumbfounded.

Especially a few of the officials were full of anxiety.

Which aristocratic family in the world can withstand the investigation?
As long as the King of Jin investigates a little bit, the messy affairs between these Jiangning officials and the Wang family will directly appear in front of the prince.

"By the way, Governor Xie is also requested to send his servants to issue notices in Jiangning City and the surrounding counties. This king will stay in Jiangning until the imperial court sends a censor.

During this period, all the people who have been harmed by the Wang family, or those who have wronged people, can come here to find the king and the crown prince for revenge! "

Li Xuan said again.

"Yes, His Royal Highness King Jin!"

A bitter look flashed in Xie Lang's eyes, but he responded quickly.

"I tell you, if anyone dares to secretly stop these common people who are avenging their grievances, as long as I let this king know, this king will definitely turn their family into a state like a royal family!"

"Yes, His Royal Highness King Jin!"

Xie Lang bowed his hands again.

It was not until Li Xuan, Li Chengqian and others escorted all the direct descendants of the Wang family into the Wang family that Xie Lang and a group of officials slowly raised their heads with miserable faces.

"Why did King Jin and the crown prince come to Jiangning suddenly?"

"Humph!"

He Dewu snorted softly, "If you are greedy and harm the people at will, you will be punished sooner or later!"

"Thanks to the governor, Yan Zhubo, Liu Biejia, please pray for yourselves, I am going to give a memorial to Chang'an!"

"And Captain..."

Xie Lang and all the officials were startled, then looked at He Dewu who was going away, and sighed subconsciously.

Afterwards, Xie Lang raised his head and glanced at his colleagues, and said helplessly: "Everyone, Jiang Ning's world is about to change, you should hurry home and discuss with your respective patriarchs.

In Jiangning, it's not just the Wang family who are harming the people and forcing them to go to their feudal kingdom! "

"Ugh!"

A group of officials thought of something, their faces changed, and they walked out full of sorrow.

After half an hour.

Two fast horses with command flags ran out from Langya Wang's house and headed towards Chang'an.

Less than a quarter of an hour.

From Jiangning Zhechong Duwei's Mansion, a body mounted on a fast horse rushed out towards Chang'an.

Afterwards, from the Jiangning Governor's Mansion, a fast rider also sprang out and headed for Chang'an.

Jiangning City is about to change!
This is the common thought of all the aristocratic families, merchants, and common people in Jiangning City.

When many people looked at the aristocratic families in Jiangning City, their eyes shone with a strange light.

In Jiangning City, the atmosphere was strange.

Moreover, from time to time, there will be teams of soldiers escorting the children of the Wang family in brocade clothes and satin to the Bird Clothes Lane.

Many common people and merchants crowded in front of the ruined gate of the Wang family, looking forward to them, looking for their own guards to cry out their grievances.

In the study of the Patriarch of the Wang Family, Li Xuan, Li Chengqian and the others were each holding a booklet, flipping through it one by one.

From time to time, one by one personal guards would come in with a few pieces of paper and place them in front of Li Xuan and the others.

Every time they read a book, Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and the others all had fierce eyes and cursed at Wang Xi who was at the side.

"Beast in clothes!"

"Beasts are worse!"

"frenzied……"

For this, Wang Xi has long been heartbroken.

In any case, it was completely over in their royal family.

Therefore, no matter how insulting Li Xuan, Li Chengqian and the others were, they all remained indifferent, without any change in their expressions.

"This king originally thought that he would only kill all the direct descendants of the Wang family and the principals of the major branches. The rest of the people can be properly tolerant and pardoned. I didn't expect that your Wang family can do so many unconscionable things. !

If I don't kill you all, I will feel depressed in my heart! "

After reading the letter of injustice sent by his personal guard, Li Xuan's eyes were full of coldness.

"Ha ha……"

Wang Xi snorted softly, "Didn't King Jin just dislike my Wang family, so why make these excuses?"

"The old man is very curious. My Wang family has never opposed the King of Jin, or even Li Tang. Why is the King of Jin holding on to my Wang family? First, he wiped out the Wang family of Jinyang, and now he has come all the way to Jiangning. Want to completely destroy my Langya Wang clan?"

Li Xuan was startled, and looked Wang Xi up and down.

"Don't you think that this king wants to destroy your Langya Wang clan for the sake of those common people?"

"It's just a few untouchables, and the old man has become a prisoner of his rank. Why does King Jin use those untouchables to prevaricate the old man?"

Wang Xi said helplessly.

"If you don't believe me, there's nothing you can do!"

Li Xuan smiled lightly, not wanting to pay attention to this old bastard.

Seeing this, doubt flashed in Wang Xi's eyes, and then he couldn't believe it.

"His Royal Highness, they are just a bunch of untouchables, why are they here!"

Li Xuan snorted coldly, and said, "Old man Wang Xi, if there were no lowly people, you high-ranking cysticers would be the first to starve to death!
In my heart, those common people are much more useful than you! "

"Without me waiting for the children of the aristocratic family to enter the court as officials, how will you, Li Tang, govern the world?"

Wang Xi said bitterly.

Li Xuan sneered and said: "There are no children from your aristocratic families, but there are also children from poor families! If there are not enough children from poor families, generals in the army can also be officials. But, if there are no common people, what do you think the world will be like?"

Wang Xi: "..."

"Also, I have no personal enmity with your Wang family. I want to destroy the Jinyang Wang family because they have always disliked me. Not only are they slandering me behind my back every day, they even colluded with barbarians to assassinate me!

And as for why you want to destroy your Langya royal family?

Wang Xi, this king can grant your family a kingdom and let you become a king, why don't you honestly use your children to govern those barbarians and let those barbarians develop and seal your country for you!
Why does your royal family just want to disobey the agreement and think about harming the people of my Tang Dynasty all day long? "

"In just this year, your royal family has harmed more than 400 farmers in order to send farmers to your kingdom?
Don't you really think that this king has always been merciful and soft-hearted, so he won't kill people?"

Li Xuan's tone was serious, and he was still a little helpless, "Could it be possible that this king doesn't kill people so much, and your family thinks that the agreement that this king asked His Majesty to sign for you is all nonsense?"

"Hmph, who in my Tang family doesn't know that you, King Jin, are the most tyrannical?" Wang Xi glanced at Li Xuan and said with hatred.

"Then why do you always think that the king is easy to deceive? Why don't you abide by the negotiated matters, even the signed king agreement in black and white?"

Li Xuan was a little puzzled.

"Who would have known that the majestic King Jin would care so much about those untouchables?"

Speaking of this, Wang Xi was also full of helplessness.

In the eyes of their aristocratic patriarchs, those untouchables are just a group of ants, they are not the same kind of people at all, at most they are more pleasing to the eye than the barbarians of those vassal states.

They can do whatever they want without any psychological burden.

In this regard, Li Xuan also saw something, and sighed helplessly in his heart.

It has been nearly ten years since he came to this world, and he only reversed the concept of Li Chengqian, Li Chongyi, Cheng Chusi, and the 4000 people in Lijiazhuang.

And the concept of these aristocratic families, he may not be able to reverse it in his life.

In fact, he didn't want to change so many people.

However, he can't bear others' failure to keep their promises, especially his King Jin's.

At this time, Zheng Fu, who had already arranged various guard posts in the Wang family mansion, walked in.

"My lord, all the guard posts have been set up. In addition, all the children of the Langya Wang family in Jiangning City have been arrested. There are 540 people including men, women and children! There are also 210 people in charge of the various Wang family shops! "

"Ok!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly.

"After a while, when the sky completely darkened, all the guard posts were withdrawn. All the servants and guards of the children of the Wang family were detained separately. You only need to focus on these people.

Otherwise, the Wang family's house is so big, you only have [-] soldiers, and you can't take care of it at all! "

Zheng Fu was startled, "Your Majesty, do you mean there will be thieves tonight?"

"Who knows if the Langya Wang family has such a bold thief?"

Li Xuan glanced at Wang Xi, and said with a light smile: "Or, those aristocratic families around feel that they are too closely related to the Wang family, and want to rescue the Wang family in the dark?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, only people and thieves dare to come, the final general will definitely let them come and never come back, and no one from the Wang family can be saved!"

Zheng Fu said solemnly.

Li Xuan smiled lightly and said: "Don't be too nervous, everyone in the Wang family will die sooner or later, it doesn't matter how often they die! Even if thieves come, there is no need to capture them, just blow them all to death!
Just wait a day or two, when Chongyi and Baolin come back, neither of them can escape! "

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zheng Fu responded and walked out again.

As for whether Li Chongyi and Yuchi Baolin can bring back Bing Future, no one doubts.

Even if the captains of Zhechong Prefecture in those two cities did not send troops, Li Chongyi could still recruit thousands of songs.

You know, Li Chongyi's aye, Li Xiaogong, was the chief executive of Jingzhou more than ten years ago, controlling the military and government of several states in the south of the Yangtze River, with great power. There are rumors among the people that Li Xiaogong is the second "day" of the Tang Dynasty!
Therefore, up to now, Li Xiaogong spends most of his time in Chang'an.

But even though Li Xiaogong lost most of his power, the group of servants who were captured more than ten years ago has not been completely dispersed.And now, the old departments are all over the south of the Yangtze River.

If Li Chongyi is in trouble, there must be someone who will help him.

In particular, Li Chongyi is still the son of Hejian County Prince, the master they are for!
Just like that, Li Chongyi just brought a group of personal guards to Yangzhou.

Not only Gao Daohong, the captain of Zhechong Mansion in Yangzhou, ordered six hundred soldiers personally, but also brought hundreds of young men from the mansion, and hurriedly followed Li Chongyi.

Along the way, thousands of people, big and small, added up.

As for Yuchi Baolin, as the future Duke of E, the borrowing of soldiers went very smoothly.

Both groups of soldiers and horses came to Jiangning overnight.
