I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 321: The noble family is fed up, and the Li Mansion in Zhongshan hides a traitor
Your Majesty’s order.

It was a token that Su Yao had specially made after he was conferred the title of marquis.

The reason why Su Yao went to so much trouble to create such a thing was because as his status increased, Su Yao discovered that as he gained greater power, all kinds of cumbersome rules also followed.

The biggest problem is that it is becoming increasingly difficult for people of different identities to reach him.

In the past, when I was in Bingzhou, I, as a commoner, could go to the villagers' homes at will and take on various side quests.

However, after wearing the gold seal and purple ribbon, his every word and action would cause more surprise, and even some of his close friends found it increasingly difficult to get close to him.

The huge gap between officials and the people has caused Su Yao's channels for obtaining tasks and intelligence to shrink rapidly.

Therefore, in order to break this situation, Su Yao's first thought was to use the ready-made business network system around him.

Zhen Jiang of the Wuji Zhen family temporarily became his number one intelligence officer and was the first to receive Su Yao's Lord's Order.

As for Dian Wei, he was the second talented person besides Hua Tuo that Su Yao found through the Zhen family business.

Considering how difficult it was for a girl like Zhen Jiang to travel around, and to ensure his safety, Su Yao temporarily confiscated Dian Wei from the team, and instead ordered him to bring a dozen knights and plainclothes guards.

And Zhen Jiang finally lived up to expectations and made great contributions to a series of events during the emperor's northern tour.

So, at the celebration banquet, Cao Cao's left army kept talking about Su Yao letting the prince go, expressing their dissatisfaction.

Dian Wei pushed the door open and walked in. Amidst everyone's surprised gaze, Zhen Jiang and the little girl from the Zheng family who brought the news suddenly appeared.

"what?!"

"Who?"

"Where did this rude person come from!"

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense. Cao Cao and others stood up one after another, staring at the uninvited guest who suddenly broke in with unfriendly eyes.

However, when they saw Zhen Jiang's bright and beautiful face, many people showed surprise on their faces.

"Miss Zhen, what is this?" Su Yao asked in a deep voice.

Zhen Jiang smiled slightly, took a few steps forward, bowed, and then pointed at the little girl beside him and said, "Lord Su, this little sister of the Zheng family has something important to tell you."

The little girl seemed a little nervous after being introduced by Zhen Jiang, but she still mustered up the courage and repeated what she had said to Zhen Jiang before.

As the little girl continued her narration, the atmosphere in the hall became increasingly solemn.

Cao Cao and others looked at each other in bewilderment; no one had expected such a sudden change to happen.

Most of you here are smart people. On such an important occasion, they would not believe that this would be just a simple case of mob breaking into a house and murder.

Then
Obviously, the identity of this thug is about to be revealed.

Those left army soldiers who had just expressed their dissatisfaction in a sarcastic tone have now all shut up.

But they were not sure whether this was a play performed by Su Junhou for them or it was really such a coincidence.

Although Su Yao didn't know either, he obviously would not miss such an emergency.

Immediately, Su Yao touched the little girl's head, expressed his admiration for the girl's courage and thanked her for her timely report.

Immediately afterwards, Su Yao told Cheng Lian to set off, then he soared into the air in front of everyone, leaped out of the door, and disappeared into the dim night in a few leaps.

This move shocked Cao Cao and others so much that they were speechless for a long time.

I was half amazed by the miraculous skills, and half confused. You just asked this question and then went out. Can you find the place?
While they were puzzled, Cheng Lian quickly took the little girl who brought the news and a group of knights and chased after them.

Seeing this scene, Cao Cao and others had no time to attend the celebration banquet. They hurriedly picked up their swords and went out to join the arrest team.

However, when they all arrived at the little girl's house, the fake prince was no longer there.

Cheng Lian kicked over the empty bed. If the bodies of the old couple were not still in the room, he would have thought that the girl was fooling people.

"Damn it, where are they?!"

"Hahahaha, there is always a way out."

"You'll never find me!"

When the prince, who was hiding in another mansion, heard the news that the Han cavalry in the palace had set out to search the alley, Prince Zhang Dong laughed triumphantly.

It turned out that not long after the little girl left, the prince, who had not fallen asleep, also woke up. He saw the tiny shoes on the ground and broke into a cold sweat, and ran away in a hurry.

But he didn't expect to be caught after running a few steps.

However, just when he was in despair, he found that the visitor did not hand him over to the Han army, but took him home, treated him well, and then hid him in the backyard.

"Brother Li, aren't you afraid of getting into trouble by helping me like this?"

"Brother Zhang, don't worry too much."

Li Tie said loudly:
"My Zhongshan Li family has been loyal and righteous for generations. Without evidence, who can do anything to me?"

Zhongshan Li family.

It is a prominent family in Zhongshan State second only to the Liu family, and its ancestors can be traced back to Li Ji in the Warring States Period.

Many people may not know this person, but his son Li Mu is a famous figure in history.

He drove out the Chanyu in the north, defeated the Donghu, annihilated Tanlin, suppressed the powerful Qin in the west, and supported Han and Wei in the south. He is one of the "Four Famous Generals of the Warring States Period" together with Bai Qi, Wang Jian, and Lian Po.

These descendants of the Li family later branched out and established the Zhaojun Li family, the Longxi Li family, the Zhongshan Li family and other world-famous top-notch families.

Although the Zhongshan Li family today is not as prominent as in later generations, they are still the undisputed leaders of the aristocratic families and the head of the famous clans in Zhongshan!

When Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju rebelled in Zhongshan State, they had been hoping to win over the Zhongshan Li family. However, the Li family was very arrogant. Although they maintained a friendly relationship, no one was willing to serve as an official.

This time, Zhang Dong thought he was doomed when he fell into the hands of Li, but he unexpectedly was saved, which surprised and delighted him.

He himself didn't understand why he was rescued.

According to what Li Tie said, he was just grateful that his family adhered to etiquette and did not persecute him, so he came to his aid and did not want to see him die on the street.

But no matter what, Zhang Dong knew that in this Li’s mansion, no one could threaten him anymore. This really meant there was always a way out.

However, Li Tie’s idea is actually very simple.

As a member of a top-notch local family, Su Yao’s actions in the city today made him feel seriously threatened and angry.

Their indiscriminate killing of those families who were affiliated with the bandits was jaw-dropping.

There were many of his relatives-in-law there, even his brother-in-law and elder brother-in-law, all of whom were killed.

It's unbelievable.

They are the local noble and powerful families!
In this kind of situation, the usual practice is to kill the ringleader and arrest a few typical cases and that's it.

How could there be such a large-scale killing with so many heads rolling?

They simply don't treat them as human beings.

Moreover, as if he was demonstrating to them, after killing people, he actually held a celebration banquet. Even the Li family and others were not on the banquet list!
This is really unreasonable.

You say he is ignorant and doesn't know how to appease the people, but he insists on opening his warehouses to release grain to appease those untouchables.

It is simply contrary to Tiangang!
Doesn't Su Yao know that the hearts of the people in this world are never with the untouchables, but with the aristocratic families like them?
Therefore, after finding Zhang Dong, they protected him immediately.

Things like returning a favor or flattering Su Yao are secondary.

The most crucial reason is that Li Tie and his team want to use this incident to teach these outsiders a good lesson.

Without the support of local noble families like us, you can't accomplish anything!
To this end, Li Tie not only wanted to save Zhang Dong, but he also hired a group of ruffians to prepare for the next opening of the warehouse to release grain, vowing to make a big fuss and let these outsiders see the skills of his local tyrant.

So, Li Tie and Zhang Dong, two big men with their own ulterior motives, sneered at the futile efforts of the Han army outside and drank and talked happily.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the servant suddenly came running in panic and reported:

"No, no!"

"Soldiers, soldiers are coming to our door!"

"what?!"

Li Tie stood up suddenly, his eyes wide open and he said angrily:

"I am from the dignified Zhongshan Li family. How dare his child bully me like this?!"
