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

Chapter 341 Agency trap, dangerous into the sea of ​​fire

The brightly lit mansion was eerily dead silent.

Standing on the street, Li Xuan put his hand on the hilt of his sword, his face became serious unconsciously.

The night wind swept across the long street, bringing with it waves of whispering.

It has been a long time since Li Xuan brought people into Pingshunfang, and the previous fight was not earth-shattering, but everyone in the entire Pingshunfang could feel the outrageous killing intent.

Now they are looking at Li Xuan through the crack of the door, looking at the corpses on the street, and watching how they deal with the old house of the Yang family.

Li Xuan looked at the respectful Qian Zhe, a coldness flashed in his eyes.

From Li Xuan's point of view, in this case, the Yang family was infiltrated by the Tianyin Sect, which was somewhat innocent.

It is even very possible that it was secretly conspired by someone.

So from the very beginning, Li Xuan had no intention of killing the Yang family.

For such a family with a small population, killing them all is not the best choice. Finding another way may be able to use it for their own use to a greater extent.

As for the land, the Yang family doesn't have the most property in Wuzhou, so attacking them will easily arouse the vigilance of larger targets...

Li Xuan withdrew his gaze from looking at Qian Zhe, turned around and waved, called Qiu Zhenmu, Xu Jian, and Yan Tao to the front, and then said in a solemn tone: "Before, the soldiers of the Tianyin Sect were hiding behind their backs. That courtyard is ready to attack us from behind at any time, however, if this raid wants to achieve the greatest effect, it is best when we are trapped..."

"What does the lord mean to say that there is an ambush in this old house?" Yan Tao was the first to react.

Li Xuan nodded slightly, then thought about it and said: "Right now, this house is too quiet, the previous people in the house, unless they are members of the Tianyin Sect, have either been drugged by someone, or Misfortune has happened."

The Yang family has a strict lineage, and it is impossible to have much entanglement with the Tianyin Sect. Fang Yunxiu was able to take this place, except for the hostages, I am afraid it is because of drugs.

There are not many members of Tianyin Sect in Wuzhou City, and Li Xuan was a little unclear about the reason before, but after some memory, Li Xuan immediately understood that Fang Yunxiu put the main force at Meiling Pass.

Although Meiling Pass is now in the hands of the imperial court, the Tianyin Sect no longer knows how many spies have been planted in it.

As for the city of Wuzhou, if Li Xuan hadn't directly pulled out the Tianyin Sect spies of the city gate guards and watchtower guards, that is, those who died under Li Xuan's hand just now, then once the Tianyin Sect attacked the city, the whole city would fall in an instant .

After all, it hasn't been long since the Tianyin Sect rebelled.

However, no one could have imagined that Li Xuan would directly clear out all the Tianyin cultists under Wuzhou Bingcao's command in a short period of time.

It has even begun to use various means to disintegrate the Tianyin believers who have divided the city.

Turn over directly.

Once Li Xuan succeeds, the influence of the Tianyin Sect in the entire state city will be completely wiped out in a very short period of time.

If this method proves to be effective, then Li Xuan will quickly spread it to the entire Wuzhou.

That day, the layout of the Yin Sect in the entire Wuzhou will be greatly affected.

It was precisely because she saw Li Xuan's powerful threat that Fang Yunxiu acted recklessly.

But unfortunately, the moment Ye Wanwan appeared in front of Li Xuan, Fang Yunxiu's purpose was completely exposed.

The house on the opposite side is just a backup, the real way to directly trap Li Xuan and the others is in the old house in front of them.

"So, it's the same as before, Xu Canjun, let your people go directly to the wall, and then use torches to illuminate every corner of the entire courtyard. This king must see it clearly, so that we can attack in a targeted manner." Li Xuan was very cautious.

There are many masters in the Tianyin Sect, Fang Yunxiu dares to stay in Wuzhou alone, she must have something to hold.

What is the situation in this old Yang family house now? Is it full of various organs, or is it already full of poison...

"The next officer obeys the order." Xu Jian's heart shuddered, without the slightest hesitation, he immediately turned around, led his servants, found the ladder directly, and quickly climbed to the top of the wall.

The walls of a deep courtyard like the Yang’s Old House are twice as high as the previous one, and without a ladder, it’s really hard to get up.

Under the firelight, Li Xuan quickly turned to look at Yan Tao, and said solemnly, "Lieutenant Yan, prepare to charge the door."

"Here!" Yan Tao's expression brightened immediately, he cupped his hands, then immediately turned around and walked towards his own team.

The closed black lacquer gate of the Yang's old house is also extremely strong, and it cannot be opened at will.

This is a stark difference from before, so ladders and rams are likely to be required.

This is already somewhat similar to military methods.

……

With a sound of "huh", several torches were thrown into the courtyard in a row.

Immediately, the entire courtyard was directly illuminated.

As soon as Xu Jian on the wall saw it clearly, he couldn't help shouting: "Stop, stop, stop all the torches."

But even so, a torch was thrown down.

The flames blazed and burned directly towards a hemp rope on one side.

Fortunately, the torch was not close to the hemp rope, so the hemp rope was not directly ignited.

Seeing this scene, Xu Jian's hanging heart was finally relieved.

At this time, more people also saw clearly the scene in the courtyard.

Suddenly, two not very thick hemp ropes were pulled out from under the courtyard gate, and then pulled straight to the back garden.

It can be seen from a distance that in the back garden, there are more than a dozen figures tied tightly in the center of the back yard.

All kinds of firewood and tinder were placed under and around these people.

On a certain firewood pile in front, there was a huge black stone, and above him, a small black flint was hanging, connected to the hemp rope at the back.

Once the hemp rope is broken and the flint falls, it will hit the black stone directly.

As long as there is a spark, the surrounding tinder and firewood will be ignited immediately.

The dozen or so figures in the middle will immediately be engulfed in a sea of ​​flames.

Seeing this scene, Xu Jian was startled. After stopping the movements of his subordinates, he immediately jumped off the wall, rushed to Li Xuan, and reported to him the detailed situation in the courtyard.

"This is to kill people!"

Li Xuan immediately understood Fang Yunxiu's wishful thinking, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

If they had rushed into Yang's mansion rashly before, as long as they opened the courtyard door, the mechanism in the courtyard would be activated and the fire would be ignited.

Even if the entire Yang family does not die under the flames, it is difficult for them to end well.

Now Yang's crime of treason is far from being confirmed.

Aristocratic families like theirs, even if not mentioning Yang's own children in the court, even their in-laws are all aristocratic families.

At that time, the members of the Yang family will directly die in the flames, and even all the evidence of their connection to the Tianyin Sect will be burned up.

In this case, Li Xuan, who is in charge of everything, will immediately become the target of public criticism.

Not to mention his prestige in Wuzhou was greatly reduced, and he even had to shift his attention to other places, so he could no longer concentrate on targeting Tianyin Sect.

If everything works out, Fang Yunxiu doesn't even need to make a move at all, and Li Xuan will get into endless troubles.

Perhaps this was Fang Yunxiu's original plan, and he only changed his mind later, and wanted to attack Li Xuan immediately.

But even so, Fang Yunxiu still chose to keep things under control.

In this way, even if Fang Yunxiu's plan went wrong, even if Li Xuan survived by chance, he would face endless troubles.

In this case, no matter what Fang Yunxiu's layout is, it is a sure win.

Li Xuan turned her head, looked at Qian Zhe who was on the side, shook her head, and said with hatred on her face, "Brother Qian, look at how vicious the methods of the Tianyin Sect are. People's calculations are extremely sophisticated."

"What the prince said is very true." Qian Zhe said, and quickly lowered his head.

I can't help but slander in my heart, no matter how proficient in calculating people, they will die in the hands of your Nanchang King in the end.

You, the King of Nanchang, are probably not bad at all in calculating people's minds, and may even be even stronger.

Among other things, Qian Zhe is now following Li Xuan's side, feeling uneasy for no reason.

Someone always seems to be plotting against him secretly, but now, the only one who can keep plotting against him is probably the King of Nanchang in front of him.

It's not that Qian Zhe didn't expect to leave before, but he was stopped by Li Xuan's words.

Qian Zhe lowered his head, glanced to the rear, and saw a pair of eyes coming out of the carriage, staring at him from afar.

Teng Yu.

Teng Yu's eyes showed suspicion and suspicion.

No one knew what he was suspicious of, and no one knew what he was suspicious of.

Qian Zhe wanted to go up and explain, but he didn't know how to say it.

Because he and Li Xuan just stood in front of Yang's ancestral house, but they didn't say two or three words in total, and didn't talk much at all.

He was counted.

……

Li Xuan glanced over Qian Zhe's face indifferently, then looked at Qiu Zhenmu and said, "Brother Qiu, take your brothers up there, and see if there is any way to remove this thing and save him."

"Your subordinate obeys the order." Qiu Zhenmu waved behind him without the slightest hesitation, and a small group of Qianniuwei followed, rushing up to the wall.

Li Xuan turned to look at Qian Zhe, his face suddenly became milder: "Brother Qian doesn't know something, in the imperial court, the Qianniu Guard has a lot of tasks, and similar institutions are so ingenious, I'm afraid the whole Wuzhou can't find them." Come up with a few more suitable than them."

"I'm listening to the lord." Qian Zhe didn't dare to argue at all, and his expression became more respectful.

Li Xuan nodded slightly, and then asked Qian Zhe: "Brother Qian should have been to the Yue Palace. If this king's memory is correct, there should also be a team of Qianniu Guards and You Qianniu Guards in the Yue Palace."

"I've met you a few times, but I'm not familiar with you." The corner of Qian Zhe's mouth twitched slightly, and he cupped his hands at Li Xuan, but lowered his head.

The duties of Youqianniuwei include but are not limited to monitoring vassal princes, princes, and even governors and county magistrates.
At the same time, it is also responsible for monitoring the powerful families and conspiracy forces in various places.

This kind of function is already equivalent to the Jinyiwei of later generations.

Jinyiwei, formerly the Gongwei Division established by Zhu Yuanzhang, was later renamed the Pro-Army Duwei Mansion, which governed the Yiluan Division and was in charge of the emperor's guard of honor and guards.

Qianniuwei, who is in charge of guarding the imperial sword, serving as an attendant, and serving as an enshrined in the palace.

Qian Zhe had ghosts in his heart, so he was naturally afraid of avoiding Qian Niuwei, so he dared not approach him so easily.

"Speaking of which, when I was in Luoyang, there was another big thing that happened, that is, the king of Huainan County was sent to Zhenzhou because of his disrespect in front of the palace. There are high mountains and forests in that place, and the miasma is heavy. If you don't pay attention, you will die. Really. It's very miserable." Li Xuan looked at Qian Zhe with a half-smile.

The corner of Qian Zhe's mouth twitched involuntarily. The reason why the current Qian family can act in Wuzhou without fear is because of the support of the Yue Palace.

If something happened to the King of Yue, then their entire Qian family, the countless wealth accumulated over the years, would immediately fall into the hands of others.

Qian Zhe understood the warning in Li Xuan's voice, especially when Li Xuan asked about the source of the crossbow and shield, Qian Zhe immediately understood that Li Xuan was beating him hard.

As for the purpose of so many things, I am afraid it is still related to the land.

Among the Qian family, some people fell into the trap.
