The king behind the empress

Chapter 273

Seeing that Yuan Lianghan was followed by nearly a thousand people, crying loudly when he came up, Zheng Anmin was startled for a moment, and immediately rushed forward.

"The king of freedom is here, who are you? Why are you crying?"

Hearing that it was Mo Zizai who came, Yuan Lianghan's heart trembled, but his face remained calm, he took two steps forward, and knelt down with a plop.

"The current head of the old Yuan family, Yuan Lianghan, has met the prince."

"This old guy can really let go."

Mo Zizai, who had already understood the cause and effect from Qi Xiu, looked at Yuan Lianghan who was kneeling in front of him, and sighed slightly in his heart.

The majestic overlord of the South County, the Patriarch of the Yuan family knelt down in person, with such a low posture, that even if ordinary people had objections to the Yuan family in their hearts, this kneeling could dispel a lot of hostility.

Of course, Mo Zizai is not among the ranks of ordinary people. Since he is determined to kill the Yuan family, he will definitely kill them, let alone kneel down. The maid who warmed the two beds is not good at all!
However, because the counter-rebellion had just started here, and the talents prepared by Yang Weishang hadn't been sent yet, Mo Zizai didn't mean to turn his back on him directly, but got off his horse and stepped forward with a smile on his face to help Yuan Lianghan up.

"This king is here for the first time, why did Patriarch Yuan make such a big gift?"

He said he helped him up, but in fact, Mo Zizai grabbed Yuan Lianghan's shoulders and lifted him up from the ground. If Yuan Lianghan hadn't reacted in time and stood up, I'm afraid he would have been kneeling by Mo Zizai. It's in my hand.

If it weren't for the fact that Mo Zizai is not easy to offend now, Yuan Lianghan would probably be scolding by now, who the hell is helping people like this, do you think you are a dead dog?

But the power is not as good as others, Yuan Lianghan didn't dare to say more, he just pretended that he was being lifted up, and then said with a sad face: "Please ask the prince to be the master of the old man!"

"Master Pei Shi, the censor stone, for some reason, suddenly occupied my Yuan family's ancestral hall, and even poured fierce oil on my ancestral hall."

"And the worst part is..."

Speaking of this, Yuan Lianghan covered his face and sobbed twice, and then said with grief and indignation: "The most outrageous thing is that Mr. Shi actually dug up the ancestral graves of my Yuan family's ancestors. This move is simply insane, my lord. "

The grief and indignation in Yuan Lianghan's tone was not all pretended. After all, the ancestral grave was dug up, which was more serious than killing his father. If he hadn't cared about the safety of the ancestral hall and his family, he would have sent a wave of People went in to test, but they would directly burn Shi Zhipei and the others to death in the ancestral hall.

However, Yuan Lianghan also knew in his heart that Mo Zizai would definitely protect Shi Zhipei. No matter what he said, Mo Zizai would probably not severely punish Shi Zhipei, and the most important thing was that his Yuan family was suspected of colluding with the rebels. Said that the most important thing is to save the Yuan family from losses, not to take revenge on Shi Zhipei.

So he suppressed his hatred for Shi Zhipei for the time being, and after suing Shi Zhipei, he immediately changed the subject and said directly to Mo Zizai: "I know that Mr. Shi is an upright and upright official. If you do this There must be some kind of misunderstanding."

"But Mr. Shi didn't listen to the old man's explanation at all, and insisted on refusing to come out in the ancestral hall. I hope the prince can persuade Mr. Shi to come out. Why wait for the old man to bury the bones of the ancestors of the Yuan family for safety? .”

Looking at Yuan Lianghan's tears, Mo Zizai seemed to be watching a clumsy performance. Not only did he not have the slightest sympathy, he even wanted to laugh.

It's just that if you laugh at this time, the atmosphere will be very embarrassing, so Mo Zizai suppressed a smile, and said lightly: "Patriarch Yuan, don't worry, this king will go and see what's going on inside."

After speaking, Mo Zizai didn't wait for him to answer, and led Qi Xiu to the Yuan family's ancestral hall at a fast pace. Looking at Yuan Lianghan's old face, he was worried that he might really laugh if he didn't leave.

And behind him, Qiu Wuping followed quietly. When the two armies were fighting, Qiu Wuping didn't follow because the battlefield restricted Qiu Wuping, but now there is no army formation in the city. With the power, he naturally has to follow closely, in case someone assassinates Mo Zizi.

"Sure enough, it's fierce oil."

After entering the ancestral hall, Mo Zizai didn't bother to ask, the pungent smell of kerosene rushed into his nostrils, "Master Shi really looks like he's going to die."

"My lord?"

When they saw Mo Zizai, Shi Zhipei and Liu Hong, who hadn't slept all night, were taken aback for a moment. They also thought that the people from the imperial court came outside, but they never thought that it was Mo Zizai who came.

"Why, you're surprised to see this king?"

Mo Zizai looked at the two people with exhausted faces and smiled, then said to Liu Hong, "Let them pack up their things, it's not a problem to stay in the ancestral hall all the time."

"Yes, my lord, the slaves will let them put away their things."

There was a hint of joy on Liu Hong's face, because he knew that since Mo Zizai had come, it meant that Nanjun was already safe, so they naturally didn't have to die.

When Liu Hong went to arrange things, Shi Zhipei smiled wryly, and said, "My lord came to Nanjun in person, it was indeed somewhat beyond the expectations of the officials."

"The king doesn't want to come either."

Mo Zizai sighed helplessly. He was just married and hadn't even passed the honeymoon period, so he definitely didn't want to leave the capital. "But there is no way, here in Nanjun, if the king doesn't come, you can't solve it."

"It's the incompetence of the subordinates, which disappointed the prince."

Shi Zhipei thought that Mo Zizai's words were dissatisfaction with him, so he couldn't help showing a bitter smile, and bowed in salute.

Liu Hong, who had finished explaining the matter at the side, heard the conversation between the two, and wanted to defend Shi Zhipei a few words, but thinking of his own identity, he squirmed his lips a few times, worried that the more he said, the more counterproductive he was, and finally he didn't say anything.

"This king doesn't mean that."

Seeing that Shi Zhipei misunderstood what he meant, Mo Zizai explained: "Master Shi has done a good job, if you stay in Nanjun for a few more years, maybe you can manage these aristocratic families in Nanjun submissively." .”

"But this prince is impatient and can't wait for a few years, so he just took advantage of this opportunity to solve the matter here directly."

"My lord, are you planning to take action against the aristocratic family in Nanjun?"

Shi Zhipei heard the meaning of Mo Zizai's words, and couldn't help but frowned tightly. These aristocratic families in Nanjun, headed by the Yuan family, secretly colluded with thieves and ignored the lives of tens of thousands of people. The whole family was killed.

But wanting to kill, and killing directly are two different things.

From the situation of the county this time, it can be seen that as soon as the Yuan family was ready to attack, most of the entire county fell into their control in an instant. In addition, the officials of the previous counties all fled without fighting before the war started. All of these prove how strong the family's control over Nanjun is.

If he did it rashly, the entire South County might be paralyzed, or even become chaotic.
