People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 296 Surprising secret, the lion fights the rabbit

On the vast Dongyang River, a huge official ship sailed from the east, and the ship was traveling very fast.

Li Xuan stood at the bow of the ship, despite the strong wind blowing, her eyes were still fixed on the distance.

At the end of the line of sight, a villa that occupies a vast area has already been ignited, and that is the Liu family's Green Willow Villa.

……

Flipping through the note in his hand, Li Xuan shook his head slightly and swung his hands back.

The two words on the note clearly appeared in his mind: "Come quickly."

Li Xuan didn't know what Qiu Zhenmu found in the Green Willow Villa, so she told him to rush there.

Green Willow Villa is located in the northwest of Dongyang County, just on the road from Dongyang to Yiwu.

In the front is the Dongyang River, and in the back is an open field, sitting on thousands of hectares of fertile land. Under daily irrigation, the yield per mu is unbelievable, but even so, the Liu family still exploits the people every day and forces them to rebel. Still want to devour it.

Li Xuan turned her head sideways and looked at Liu Ji behind her. Compared to his stupid son, this guy was really scheming.

"Captain, I would venture to ask, are there many people like you who are not optimistic about the Tianyin Sect's uprising from the beginning?"

Liu Ji was taken aback by Li Xuan's sudden question, and then Li Xuan continued: "The captain is free to answer. It doesn't matter whether you answer or not. In fact, the king already has the answer in his heart, but he just doesn't know the scale. .”

After hesitating for a while, Liu Ji nodded sadly, and said, "There are many people in the church, each with different origins.

Although I am not optimistic about it, I still do my best. The reason why so many loan deeds are released is nothing more than to let the people save more money during the war.

As for the future, I don't know if the Liu family still exists...

Even if the Liu family is still there, it would be better for my family to take over their property than other families.

The prince would not think that other families would handle this matter better than the Liu family. "

"What the captain said makes sense." Li Xuan thought for a while, then nodded slightly.

He agrees with this point. Compared with the Liu family, other families exploited the people after the war with a hundred times more methods than the Liu family.

"As for the preaching, I have indeed communicated with other people. Except for some special congregants who devoted themselves to the Goddess of Taiyin, most of them hope that Goddess of Tianyin can lead everyone to create a new world... However, most of those like me who have been traveling all over the world know in their hearts that there is actually little hope for this incident."

Liu Ji looked emotional, and it could be seen that he was really not very optimistic about the Tianyin sect's uprising.

"If it was placed 20 years ago, maybe they could create a miracle, but now, what they can do is not even as good as back then." Li Xuan shook her head and said calmly: "Today's Wuyue prefectures, the vast majority Most of them are politically clear. Although the people are not rich, their lives are not difficult.

Although the aristocratic family is rampant, they have a deep connection with the imperial court. Once there is a change, the imperial court may not be suspicious of their intentions, which will affect their official career.

So even if there are aristocratic families involved in it, they will definitely get out of it very quickly. What they want is to take this opportunity to embezzle more land of the people affected by the war. Tianyin Sect may be able to borrow a lot of help in the early stage, but Once it reached a certain level and began to threaten the Southeast family, the backlash came immediately. "

The Tianyin Sect is nothing more than a knife used by the aristocratic family to use it for wealth, but when this knife starts to threaten the southeast family, they will immediately break the knife.

The foundation of Tianyin Sect is the common people. Once the common people rebel, what they want must be the land, which is the land that was plundered by the aristocratic family.

Once the Tianyin Sect becomes powerful, it will immediately swing its sword at the southeast family.

No one can control this knife, so what the Southeast family has to do is to break the knife before it cuts at themselves.

Then return the broken knife to the furnace.

Liu Ji scrutinized Li Xuan up and down, he didn't know how Li Xuan would choose in this situation.

But it is almost certain that Li Xuan will never succeed easily with the aristocratic family.

"Although the Tianyin Sect's combat power is limited, under the coercion, its power is also extraordinary." Liu Ji gave Li Xuan a deep look.

"The Heavenly Yin Sect can become a serious problem for the imperial court, and this king is well aware of it." Li Xuan nodded calmly, and then said in agreement: "The best thing it can do is nothing more than destroying the word. Once this bandit is gone, not a single blade of grass will grow. !"

Liu Ji came down silently, Li Xuan understood what he meant.

Taking a breath, Liu Ji said seriously: "Actually, there are many insightful people in the religion, and they tried their best to develop it during the First World War. , the final result can only be a crushing defeat."

Liu Ji's few words revealed the biggest hidden worry within Tianyin Sect.

At this time, Li Xuan asked indifferently: "Even the captain sees such a problem so clearly, so why do some people go against the sky? It's not just trying to get lucky, right?"

"Because if they don't make a move again, they won't have a chance to make a move again." Liu Ji suddenly smiled sadly at this moment, and said, "Won't your lord think that I'm the one who made the first move this time?"

"Huh?" Li Xuan couldn't help raising his brows, and then a flash of light flashed in his mind, and he suddenly understood: "Is it Wang Cishi?"

"That's right, it's Wang Fanglin, the governor of Wuzhou, Wang Fanglin." Liu Ji's face turned serious, and he looked at Li Xuan and said, "Just before March, Wang Fanglin had already started to prepare for the investigation of the fields and invaded without reason. The common people's land, the light ones are refunded, and the serious ones are sentenced to imprisonment and exile.

The Wuzhou aristocratic family was naturally panic-stricken, which led to the subsequent assassination by the aristocratic family and the sect. It was also at this time that the sect master decided to revolt. "

"Your leader is also afraid. Once the governor Wang succeeds, Wuzhou may not have any chance for you for decades. You are afraid that the successor of the governor Wang will do the same." Li Xuan was a little stunned. He nodded, then seemed to think of something, and said to himself: "Yes, no wonder Your Majesty sent me here, no wonder Your Majesty will use the post of Biejia."

It turned out that the root of his business was to stand for Wang Fanglin.

A royal family, a county king, and a general of Qianniuwei Zhonglang.

The arrival of such a person is enough to express the emperor's anger in the case of Wang Fanglin's assassination.

Li Xuan came to Wuzhou not to deal with the Tianyin Sect, but to deter the Southeast family from acting rashly.

It's no wonder that many people didn't pay attention to Li Xuan at the beginning. Most of the time, they regarded Li Xuan as a symbol.

Not many people would think that Li Xuan really came to kill people.

"I'm afraid no one would have thought that this king is so capable of tossing around, and the entanglement with you is getting more and more serious." Li Xuan lowered her head and said in thought: "Before coming to Dongyang, this king's behavior was not out of line, but after arriving in Dongyang ...Fortunately, investigate the big case and kill chickens to make an example to monkeys!"

The corner of Li Xuan's mouth smiled, although he said that he didn't guess the emperor's mind, but by mistake, it paved the way for future actions.

What he has to do in the future is nothing more than to adjust his target, so that he can retreat completely.

"Lieutenant, at this moment, I hope that you and Mr. Liu, the Zhongshusheman, are really connected! Haha!" Li Xuan couldn't help laughing.

The emperor is in need of a chicken right now, if Li Xuan finds a letter related to Liu Yizhi, a member of Zhongshushe, even his family members, this Beimen scholar will be in bad luck.

At this time, any high-ranking officials in the court who dare to associate with the Southeast family will be severely punished.

……

"Heaven and earth are not benevolent, treat everything as a straw dog!" Li Xuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and looked at a navy warship suddenly appearing in the middle of the river, with a calm expression.

Opposite the naval warship was the dilapidated Liu Family Manor.

There are many places in the interior, under the blue sky and white sun, raging fires are still burning, and even in the southwest corner, there are waves of fighting sounds.

"Why, the battle is not over yet. Colonel, who is staying there?" Li Xuan stretched out his hand and pointed to the southwestern fighting place.

"There is a team of people who were transferred to Dongyang before the teaching. After the accident happened last night, my son transferred them to the manor to avoid being easily slaughtered by the prince like in the city." Liu Ji looked at the time when he left in the morning. , The still peaceful and peaceful manor, now when I come back, it is already half in ruins, the gatehouse has collapsed, and gunpowder smoke is everywhere.

Team after team of Qianniuwei came in and out, and the servants and maids in the village were pushed aside under the pressure of swords.

Looking at the completely collapsed gatehouse, the half-collapsed wall on one side, and the remaining gravel on the ground.

Liu Ji's expression changed slightly: "My lord, I'm afraid there is no need to use the trebuchet in the villa's manor?"

"Did you see it?" Li Xuan was a little surprised, and looked sideways at the naval warship, there was no sign of a trebuchet on it.

However, Li Xuan still looked at the collapsed gatehouse in the distance, and said calmly: "The lion fights the rabbit, you should use your full strength. This king will inevitably compete with your sect in the future. Now it is necessary to adapt in advance."

While speaking, the group of them had already got off the boat.

Stepping on the ground, the fresh air brought by the boat is completely gone, and a heavy and chilling gunpowder smoke blows over the face.

Liu Ji, who was standing by Li Xuan's side, saw Li Xuan who was still gentle, courteous and courteous on the boat at this moment, and his face became solemn and cold in an instant.

You can even see a trace of blood flashing in his eyes from the side.

"Let's go!" As soon as Li Xuan started, she took the lead and walked towards the village.

Several Qianniu guards surrounded Li Xuan at this time. The Qianniu guards who had been ignoring him on the boat before had completely separated him from Li Xuan at this time, and did not give him the slightest chance to approach him again. Chance.

A group of people quickly passed the gate tower that was bombed by the catapult, and walked into the compound.

Dozens of maids and servants of various colors were kneeling on the open space on both sides, but all of them bowed their heads tremblingly, and no one dared to act rashly.

Li Xuan glanced over the corpse that was dragged to one side and had a feather arrow nailed to its heart, and subconsciously looked towards the wall.

Sure enough, on the wall and on the top of the eaves stood several guards with bows and arrows.

At this time, I saw Zhou Shen coming out quickly. Before he could speak, Li Xuan asked directly, "What's going on? Why hasn't the whole manor been taken down yet?"
