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

Chapter 302 Killing Chickens and Monkeys, War Fortress
The morning light shines in through the cracks in the window, and in the bright and clear beams, you can clearly see the dancing dust.

In the study room, a figure was standing in front of the huge map of Dongyang.

On the map, there is a red line coming from Shunjiang in Yiwu, but it is the red line blocked by the Dongyang checkpoint. It crosses the high mountains on the west side of the checkpoint, and then kills in the direction of Dongyang County. However, it suddenly turns around and turns southeast in the middle. Go straight to Shangxi Gold Mine.

The red line is getting closer and closer to the Shangxi Gold Mine, but one black line after another keeps appearing. Every time a black line appears, the speed of the red line will slow down by a point.

In the end it stopped completely...

"My lord came early." Liu Ji poked his head out from the pile of books in the study, saw Li Xuan, couldn't help stretching.

"I said it last night, the captain can go back to his room to rest, why bother here?" Li Xuan turned around, looked at Liu Ji, who obviously hadn't slept all night, and shook his head amusedly .

In fact, the room Li Xuan prepared for Liu Ji last night was his own bedroom.

Liu Ji was originally the owner of this manor. Even though Li Xuan has captured the manor now, he still only lives in the largest guest room.

After all, there are only two residences for the owner of the entire manor, one is Liu Ji's own middle courtyard, and the other is the stone courtyard of his son Liu Dao.

It's a pity that although Liu Dao's stone courtyard was cleared out last night, it was full of dead bodies after all.

No one likes to live there except for some tough soldiers.

As for Liu Ji's middle courtyard, Li Xuan has had people clean it out specially, just to let Liu Ji go back to live there.

Although Liu Ji was only the small hall master of the Tianyin Sect who was in charge of supplying goods to one party, such a person could easily know the details of the supply of the Tianyin Sect.

What's more, his dead wife was also the former guard of the Queen of Heaven, the leader of Tianyin, and her understanding of the Queen was far beyond others.

Everyone in this manor can clearly see what Li Xuan is thinking.

But it's not that easy to make someone betray, Li Xuan doesn't have enough bargaining chips now.

How could Liu Ji not be aware of Li Xuan's kindness, but he also understood that he had searched every place that might have secret passages inside and outside the courtyard.

After making sure that there was nothing missing, Li Xuan put back the maids that Liu Ji begged for last night.

Of course, there are Qianniuwei and Nanchang Fuwei who are full of dark cloth in the middle courtyard.

In addition, the entire manor has been thoroughly monitored and killed within several miles inside and outside the manor.

Not to mention, before they attacked here yesterday, all the secret passages to the outside of the entire manor had been found out, and nothing was missed.

Don't get close to anyone, and don't leave easily.

Even in order to prevent Liu Ji from having any secret passages that even they could not detect, those people who were released by Li Xuan last night were all severely threatened by Qian Niuwei.

Once Liu Ji escapes from the manor, they will be killed immediately.

Liu Ji is well aware of these.

Before he let go of that matter, Li Xuan would never let go of his monitoring.

"From the news sent back last night, Ran Daoyi had already suffered seven large and small wounds, some were arrow wounds, some were bruises and scratches when he fell down the mountain, and some of them were even above the fatal points. I can't move forward anymore." Liu Ji came out from behind the desk, looked at Li Xuan with a complicated expression, "My lord, your purpose..."

"It's almost time to take the last step." Li Xuan nodded calmly, turned around, looked at Liu Ji's complicated expression, and said calmly: "The captain may not know something. It’s simply that the Shangxi Gold Mine is not easy to attack, it has been dug to a depth of more than 70 meters underground, and I don’t want to take risks underground, so I can only use the method of killing my heart.”

Liu Ji's face suddenly became a little embarrassing, and infinite fear flashed between his expressions.

As for Li Xuan's attacking technique, Liu Jiyong has personally experienced it.

From the moment Li Xuan arrived in Dongyang City, she had already begun to manipulate her thoughts.

Gu Tan, Li Dingyi, Kang Yao, Huang Ziming, Xi Ying and others all fell under his control without knowing it.

Afterwards, the secret line of the Tianyin Sect, the madam Su Yu of Lichun Courtyard, the death row prisoner at Caishikou the next day, the Tianyin Sect disciples watching the death row prisoner, and even Liu Ji in the Yunde Tower in the distance, were all captured by Li Xuan's hand. Affected by the technique of attacking the heart.

Now that Lan Daoyi died at the entrance of the Shangxi Gold Mine, who knows what the Tianyin believers inside will be forced into.

"The degree that the prince's method of punishing the heart can achieve will surely exceed everyone's expectations, but now it depends on what the prince intends to achieve." Liu Ji couldn't help but bowed his hands to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan looked back, looked at the map on the wall, and then said lightly: "Behind the Shangxi Gold Mine is Yue Wangfu, but standing in front of the stage is the Qian family, one of the four major families in Wuzhou. The Qian family, the Qian family has huge land and wealth in the whole Wuzhou, and it is all ill-gotten wealth."

After finishing speaking, Li Xuan waved his hands, turned around and walked out the door.

In mid-air, Li Xuan said: "I'm going back to Dongyang County today, so I won't accompany the captain any longer. Please feel free to do so today."

It's easy, what's easy,
Liu Ji couldn't help but turned his head and looked at the location of the Shangxi Gold Mine on the wall.

Kill the chickens to warn the monkeys.

The Qian family is the monkey, and it is even possible that the Qian family will become the chicken, just like the Liu family today.

Behind the Liu family is involved with Liu Yizhi, a member of the Zhongshu Sheren and a bachelor of the North Gate.

The Qian family has something to do with the Yue Palace, but in the eyes of the Nanchang County King, these are nothing at all.

They are the weakest among the four major families in Wuzhou.

……

Standing on the bank of the Dongyang River, Li Xuan looked at the boxes of files and papers, and asked Wang Bo and Du Bixing beside him: "All the land title deeds found from the Liu family, as well as the real situation of the entire Dongyang land, are here. inside."

"It's basically all there." Du Bixing's eyes were still red, and he cupped his hands to Li Xuangong and said, "Huizou lord, although the Liu family communicated and plotted against each other, they are indeed very generous in handling some things. Ordinary people’s arrears are exempted.”

"Indeed, it's no wonder that all the people in the four miles and eight villages are grateful to them." Li Xuan shook her head and said, "It seems that I will learn from them when I return to Dongyang today. Okay, let's not mention it." Alright, board the ship."

Li Xuan was the first to step on the wooden plank to get on the official boat, followed closely by Wang Bo and Du Bixing.

"You two gentlemen, let's find a place to take a good rest first. There is about half an hour before we go to Dongyang County. It's okay to take a rest." Li Xuan gently arranged for Wang Bo and Du Bixing.

The two of them took the officials of the Nanchang Prince's Mansion, the people from Dongyang County Hucao, and the counting house they found from the Liu family, and after a night of careful calculation, they finally calculated all these things clearly.

"Follow the order!" Wang Bo and Du Bixing saluted very politely, then turned and went to rest in the cabin.

Li Xuan stood at the bow of the boat, looking at Liu's manor which was gradually going away, lost in thought.

I have to admit that Mrs. Liu really put a lot of thought into choosing the location of this manor.

This can be the necessary place from Zhoucheng to Dongyang County. Once it is cut off, and then sentry cavalry is deployed around, then even if the number of people is several times, it is impossible to break through here easily.

Think about it, once the Tianyin Sect takes down Dongyang County Prime Minister, even if Li Xuan leads an army, he will definitely be blocked from this manor.

Outside of this manor, there will inevitably be a fierce battle.

The so-called exhaustion and exhaustion, even if they break through here, it will be more difficult to attack Dongyang City.

vice versa.

"You don't want to return this place." A crisp voice sounded from behind Li Xuan.

Li Xuan turned around, and suddenly saw Liang Fuling wearing a cyan man's robe, standing there handsomely, but the eyes that looked at Li Xuan were full of the power to see through people's hearts.

Li Xuan nodded directly, and said with a solemn expression: "This place is well used, and it will hold back the main force of the Tianyin Sect, so, at the very least, after this battle is over, this king will not use this place If I return to Dongyang today, I will have a good discussion with the officials of Dongyang County about the disposal here."

The people in Dongyang County may not be good at other things, but they are also very good at bargaining.

Fortunately, Li Xuan has more than one identity.

……

The official ship was docked at the pier, and there were already a number of carriages waiting on the pier.

Li Xuan watched as his subordinates loaded the dossiers one by one into the carriage, and then followed the carriage, slowly heading towards the Dongyang County Government Office.

Riding slowly on the streets of Dongyang County, Li Xuan's eyes swept up and down.

The streets of the entire county were empty, only a few people were shopping for food, and then returned home quickly.

The Tianyin Sect incident had a profound impact on the entire Dongyang.

Almost every family has people who believe in Tianyin Goddess, and just yesterday, almost every family has people who have abandoned their belief in Tianyin Goddess.

It can be said that during this period, people's minds were extraordinarily empty, and this lack of belief was not so easy to make up for.

But when it comes to belief issues, Li Xuan can be regarded as a professional counterpart.

The carriage in front stopped at the gate of the county government office, and Li Xuan slowly rode forward.

County Prime Minister Gu Tan, County Wei Kangyao and others, together with a group of officials from the Dongyang County Government, immediately stepped forward and bowed their hands in salute: "My lord, my lord will last forever."

"Everyone, please come up." Li Xuan waved to Gu Tan, and Gu Tan immediately stepped forward, Li Xuan said directly: "Gu Xiancheng, now, in the name of the county government, go to invite the masters of Taoism and Buddhism in the city, Go to pray for the people who died yesterday and make a dojo."

"My lord is trying to appease people's hearts, but my subordinates have ignored it." Gu Tan immediately understood Li Xuan's thoughts, and then asked, "My lord, do you want to invite all the real people from the Taoist sect alone at this time?"

"It seems that the king left a deep impression on the county magistrate yesterday?" Li Xuan smiled lightly and said, "It doesn't have to be like this. Although Dongyang is not a big county, it wants to appease the whole city in a short time. The thoughts of the people, I am afraid that there will be enough, so why would I only invite people from the Taoist sect. Moreover, people in this world are not the same, and everyone has their own preferences, so it is better not to force them to do so."

"What the prince said is very true." Gu Tan immediately cupped his hands in admiration to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan nodded, looked at the field documents on one side, and said with a sigh: "Last night, Mr. Bixing and Mr. Zi'an led a lot of officials and spent a whole night sorting out these things. It was really hard work."

"The next official must come to the book to ask for credit for Mr. Bixing and Mr. Zi'an." Although Gu Tan's tone was sincere, his eyes could not help but fall on those papers.

Li Xuan couldn't help but said with some amusement: "Don't look at it, it's time to share these things, but you still have to distinguish between the true and the false, and make sure that there are no mistakes. .”

"Here!" All the officials of Dongyang Mansion agreed at the same time.
