Changsheng: My qualifications improve a little every day

Chapter 276 Planning
Now, seeing this name again, Fang Yue couldn't help but feel an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

"Could it be that Wei Chengliang wants to kill me because of Zhu Linlang?" Fang Yue thought to himself.

He knew that Zhu Linlang was engaged to Wei Chengliang's son, which was a well-known thing in the court. And the relationship between him and Zhu Linlang is secretive.

But there is no airtight wall in this world. Those who are well-informed may have known it for a long time.

Fang Yue's eyes flickered, and his mind was filled with thoughts.

He understood that if Wei Chengliang really knew the secret between him and Zhu Linlang, then it must be for this reason that he wanted to kill him.

After all, the marriage contract between Wei Chengliang's son and Zhu Linlang was a symbol of the Wei family's reputation and a guarantee for Wei Chengliang's status in the court.

And he, Fang Yue, is just a small Si Tianjian official, how can he fight against such a behemoth as the Wei family?
Oh, he is now regarded as the supervisor of Si Tianjian of the first government, and he can also be regarded as a middle-level official of the Wei Dynasty.

So, when these people dealt with him, they did not do it in a big way, but in secret?

Fang Yue took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

He knew that he couldn't get into trouble now, he had to calmly analyze the situation and find a countermeasure.

"If Wei Chengliang really wants to kill me because of Zhu Linlang, then he will definitely not do it blatantly. After all, he has to lose face."

Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Fang Yue's eyes: "Since you want to deal with me secretly, then I will play with you. I want to see who wins in the end! If you dare to reach out, I will chop off your hands!" "

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and then a familiar voice sounded outside the door: "Master Fang, are you in there?"

Fang Yue immediately calmed down his mind, calmed down his emotions, and then said: "I'm here, come in."

The door was gently pushed open, and a young man wearing a blue gown walked in. He was Fang Yue's subordinate, an official of Si Tianjian.

"Sir, what do you want from me?" the young man asked.

Fang Yue looked at him and said in a deep voice: "Is there any news in Yujing City recently? Especially about Wei Guogong's family."

When the young man heard this, his expression changed slightly, and then he whispered: "Sir, how do you know? There are indeed some rumors coming that the Wei Guogong family has been making frequent moves recently and seems to be planning something secretly. Moreover, it is said that they are also planning something secretly. He has colluded with some ministers in the DPRK and China, and his intentions are unknown."

"Oh, by the way, there is also an elder in their family who has left Yujing City and is missing."

The elders of Wei Guogong's family are the Dinghai Shenzhen of this top family in Wei Dynasty, and every one of them is at least a master of shape-shifting.

A trace of surprise flashed in Fang Yue's eyes, did his family leave Yujing City? This is no small matter. You must know that the elders of the Duke of Wei are not only the pillars of the family, but also important figures in the Wei Dynasty. They usually don't leave Yujing City easily unless something important happens.

"Do you know the specific time and whereabouts of that elder's departure?" Fang Yue asked hurriedly.

The young man shook his head and said: "The specific time is not clear, but it should have happened in the past few days. As for where he went, no one knows. The Wei Guogong family keeps this matter strictly confidential."

Fang Yue frowned, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart. There must be a reason why the old man left Beijing, and it was probably aimed at him. After all, his recent conflict with the Duke of Wei has intensified to an irreconcilable point.

"Who else knows about this matter?" Fang Yue asked in a deep voice.

"Only a few people know about it at present, and the news has not spread yet." The young man replied.

Fang Yue nodded and said: "Okay, you did a good job. You have to continue to pay close attention to this matter and report to me immediately as soon as there is new news. In addition, you must also act carefully and never alert the snake."

"Yes, sir!" the young man responded, then turned and left.

Fang Yue looked at his back and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It seems that this storm is more violent than I thought. Mr. Wei, what on earth do you want to do?"

Thinking of this, Fang Yue's eyes flashed with determination.

He took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled it, throwing away the distracting thoughts in his mind.

Now, all he has to do is wait and see what happens and wait for the opportunity to come.

~~~~~~
The night was as dark as ink, and Jade Capital City seemed to be shrouded in a thick layer of darkness. Only the secret room in the Duke's Mansion was brightly lit, in sharp contrast to the surrounding silence.

Wei Chengliang was sitting in his study, with an open secret letter in front of him, the content of which made him extremely angry.

He originally thought that the two people he sent could easily deal with Fang Yue, but he didn't expect to be killed by the other party.

This not only frustrated his plan, but also severely damaged the Wei family's power in the Enshrinement Department and Si Tianjian.

"This Fang Yue is really cunning!" Wei Chengliang said through gritted teeth.

He knew that it was no longer as simple as just trying to kill Fang Yue.

Fang Yue's existence has seriously threatened the Wei family's status and interests. If he is not eliminated as soon as possible, the consequences will be disastrous.

Thinking of this, Wei Chengliang took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He knew that he couldn't rush for success now and had to make new plans to ensure nothing went wrong.

At this moment, a confidant hurriedly walked in and reported in a low voice: "Master, the elder has already set off and is expected to arrive at Gunzhou Mansion in seven days."

When Wei Chengliang heard this, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes: "Very good, there must be no more mistakes in this operation. Let's notify everyone and get everyone ready, and we will take action as soon as the elders arrive!"

The confidant responded, turned and left.

Wei Chengliang was sitting in the study, staring ahead with sinister eyes.

He knew that this contest had reached a critical moment, and both sides were secretly making plans, waiting for the other party's flaws.

However, he also knew that he had to be more cautious and ruthless than his opponent in order to have the last laugh in this contest.

~~~~~~~~
At the same time, the atmosphere in Luoshui City, the largest city in the north of Gunzhou Prefecture, was extremely tense.

"Chief, the imperial court's crackdown is becoming more and more strict. If this continues, all the men under me will be beheaded! We can't continue like this, and we can't just sit back and wait for death!"

The leader of the Luoshui City Shadow Society, a man with a deep face wearing a black cloak, was sitting in a dark secret room, listening to the anxious reports from his subordinates.

His eyes were cold, as if he could see into people's hearts, and revealed an unquestionable majesty.

"The imperial court's crackdown is indeed becoming more and more strict, but our Shadow Society is not a vegetarian."

The leader spoke slowly, his voice low and powerful, "Give the order, let everyone prepare, we will start an attack tonight!"

After hearing the leader's order, the men perked up and showed excitement on their faces.

They were already dissatisfied and angry with the imperial court's crackdown, and now they finally had a chance to fight back.

The leader nodded slightly. He knew that the morale of his men had been raised to the extreme. This was exactly what he needed.

He went on to say: "Remember, take down the city lord's palace first tonight. Don't worry about the city guards. Someone will handle it! This time we can only succeed, no failure!" The subordinates responded in unison: "Yes, leader!" Their eyes shone with determination, full of confidence and anticipation for the upcoming action.

Following the leader's order, the men of the Shadow Society quickly took action.

Like ghosts in the dark night, they sneaked into the city lord's mansion silently.

The defenders in the city lord's palace had long lost their due vigilance due to their long and comfortable life, and did not notice the actions of the Shadow Society at all.

When the men of the Shadow Society suddenly launched an attack, the defenders in the city lord's palace suddenly fell into chaos.

They hurriedly responded to the challenge, but were unable to withstand the fierce offensive of the Shadow Society.

Soon, the City Lord's Mansion was heavily surrounded by the people of the Shadow Society and became their prey.

At the same time, the City Guards also learned about the uprising of the Shadow Society.

Although they have a large number of people, they usually neglect training and their combat effectiveness is not strong.

Coupled with the fact that the men of the Shadow Society moved quickly and unexpectedly, the city guards soon fell into a situation where they were passively beaten.

In the fierce battle, the men and horses of the Shadow Society showed amazing combat effectiveness and cohesion.

They fought bravely and without fear of life or death, and soon defeated the city guards to pieces.

The generals of the city guard also lost their former majesty in this battle, and could only watch their men fall one by one.

In the end, under the fierce offensive of the Shadow Society, the city guards completely collapsed and fled in all directions.

~~~~~~~
The news that the Shadow Society had rebelled and occupied Luoshui City spread quickly throughout Gunzhou Prefecture like a wildfire starting a prairie fire. For a time, people were panicked and all kinds of discussions came and went.

"Have you heard? Luoshui City is occupied by the Shadow Society!"

"How is this possible? Has Shadow always been suppressed by the court? How dare they openly rebel?"

"You don't understand this, right? The imperial court's crackdown is becoming more and more strict. The people of the Shadow Society must have been forced into desperation, so they took the risk."

"What should we do now? Luoshui City is the largest city in the north of Gunzhou Prefecture. If it is controlled by the Shadow Society, wouldn't it give them the capital to compete with the imperial court?"

"Well, who says it's not the case? Now we can only hope that the imperial court can send troops to quell the rebellion as soon as possible."

In the Sitian Prison of Gunzhou Prefecture, the officials were also worried and talking a lot.

"Master Fang, the Shadow Society has rebelled and occupied Luoshui City. What should we do?" An official reported to Fang Yue anxiously.

Fang Yue smiled slightly and said in a deep voice: "This matter is not a trivial matter, but it has nothing to do with our Si Tianjian. If you have a headache, it is also the government's business."

Fang Yue's words stunned the officials present, and then someone reacted and echoed: "What Mr. Fang said is absolutely true. This is something that the government should worry about. We, Si Tianjian, only need to do our job well." .”

However, another official looked worried and said: "Having said that, the rebellion of the Shadow Society may cause quite a disturbance. Although our Si Tianjian is not directly involved in countering the rebellion, we must pay close attention to it. situation so as not to get involved.”

Fang Yue nodded and said: "You are right, we cannot sit idly by and watch. Send an order to everyone to strengthen surveillance and intelligence collection on the Shadow Society. If there is any trouble, report it to me immediately."

At this moment, a subordinate hurriedly walked in and handed Fang Yue a secret report.

Fang Yue took a look at the secret report, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

The secret report read: "The elders of the Wei family have secretly arrived in Gunzhou Prefecture."

"finally come!"

Fang Yue snorted coldly. Since he was going to deal with him, he wouldn't be polite.

~~~~~~~
at the same time,

Old Wei Qianxing of the Wei family has secretly entered Gunzhou Mansion.

He is a white-haired but energetic old man, with a sharp light shining in his eyes, as if he can see everything.

As the talisman of the Wei family, his arrival undoubtedly added a bit of tension to this already undercurrent contest.

Wei Qianxing did not go directly to Gunzhou Mansion, but chose a hidden place to stay.

Immediately, he quickly met with members of the Wei family who had already been lurking in Gunzhou Mansion.

"My dear, you are finally here!"

When these members of the Wei family saw Wei Qianxing, they all showed awe and joy. They knew the elder's status and strength in the Wei family, and his arrival undoubtedly gave them more confidence.

Wei Qianxing nodded slightly, responding to their greetings, and then asked in a deep voice: "What's the situation now?"

A member of the Wei family immediately came forward to report: "Go home, the Shadow Society has successfully occupied Luoshui City, and is currently consolidating the city's defenses and recruiting soldiers.

It seems that the imperial court has not received accurate information yet, so it has not sent troops to quell the rebellion for the time being. "

After Wei Qianxing heard this, a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. He nodded slightly and said: "Very good, the Shadow Society acted quickly this time and caught the court by surprise. It just gave us cover for our actions. Let's use the 'Shadow Society''s hands to get rid of Fang Yue this time!"

Upon hearing Wei Qianxing's plan, all the Wei family members present looked shocked.

They knew that Fang Yue was no ordinary opponent and it would not be easy to get rid of him. But with the cover of the Shadow Society, things become much easier.

"My family is wise!" A member of the Wei family couldn't help but praise.

Wei Qianxing smiled slightly and waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to be polite. He continued: "However, we must also be fully prepared. Fang Yue is a cunning person and will not be easy to deal with. We must pay close attention to his movements to prevent him from discovering any flaws."

Everyone agreed in unison. They all knew how powerful Fang Yue was, so they didn't dare to be careless at all.

After Wei Qianxing explained some more things, he asked everyone to disperse and go about their own business.

And he stayed in his foothold and began to meditate in order to maintain the strongest combat power in the next action.

In the days that followed, there was an undercurrent in Gunzhou Mansion, and all forces were making intensive arrangements.

Under the command of Wei Qianxing, members of the Wei family acted more secretly and cautiously. They continued to collect intelligence about Fang Yue and looked for the best time to strike.

Fang Yue also noticed the tension in the air, and he knew that the Wei family would definitely take action.

He knew that the Wei family was acting secretly, and he was also setting up traps, waiting for the other party to take the bait.
