Become a feudal king from today

"Xue Pan conspired to assassinate King Yan. All participants will be killed without mercy!"

Xu Lie shouted loudly at this time. read

In just an instant, most of the rich men who had conspired with Xue Pan were killed or injured, and Xue Pan also retreated under the attack of the guards.

Xue Pan said sternly: "King Yan, you are really stupid. Now that I have found out that this is a conspiracy, I didn't expect you to come anyway. Since you came to my door, you can't blame me."

"If I don't come, how can you rebels show up? But now that I'm here, how can I not be prepared?" Zhao Xu sneered.

"Come at me and kill!"

Before he could finish his words, he heard shouts of killing coming from outside the yard.

Chang Wei led the ambush troops and rushed out from the foot of the mountain.

Xue Pan's expression suddenly changed.

Obviously, he thought wrong. King Yan had already made preparations in advance.

This time, it was not them who wanted to kill King Yan, but King Yan who wanted to kill them.

"Ding."

"when."

"kill!"

"..."

The assassin couldn't rush in, and the battle in the yard immediately became one-sided.

Xue Pan and Zhu Rong only brought more than thirty children from their families.

Most of them were killed or injured under the encirclement and suppression by Yanwei and the palace guards.

Moreover, Lu Ran apparently came to his senses, and he also led the Lu family children and servants in the yard to join the battle.

While fighting with the Xue family's children, Lu Ran scolded and scolded him: "Xue Pan, you beast, I was kind enough to help you connect, but you harmed me like this. Today I will take you down with my own hands and hand you over to His Highness."

While shouting, Lu Ran kept moving his hands.

After killing a Xue family member with the cooperation of two servants, Lu Ran ran directly towards Xue Pan.

At this moment, Xue Pan was no longer as proud as before, and his eyes were filled with fear.

The ambush failed.

After a few more breaths, the last Xue family member fell under the sword of the palace guard.

Xu Lie and Lu Ran forced Xue Pan at the same time and surrounded him.

Zhao Xuan was sitting at the head of the banquet, leisurely drinking the wine in his glass.

After drinking the last drop of wine, Xu Lie escorted Xue Pan to him.

"Kneel down!" Xu Lie shouted.

Two guards, one on the left and one on the right, grabbed Xue Pan's arms and kicked his legs. Xue Pan immediately fell to his knees.

At the same time, the sound of fighting outside the yard became smaller and smaller.

In less than half an hour, Chang Wei led a group of soldiers into the courtyard.

"Your Highness, all the assassins have been killed, and a small number of them have escaped. The cavalry at the foot of the mountain will continue to encircle and suppress them." Chang Wei looked at Xue Pan who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes full of anger.

Zhao Xu nodded and looked at Xue Pan, "Did Yuan Li instruct you to do this?"

"So what? If not, so what? In short, our wealthy clan and you, King Yan, are at odds with each other. If I die today, there will be other wealthy clans who will kill you in the future. They will not stop until death!" Xue Pan shouted.

Zhao Xu laughed heartily when he heard this, and said: "In this case, I want to see what other abilities you have!"

After saying that, he gave Xu Lie a look.

Xu Lie raised the long knife high in his hand and suddenly dropped it, causing a head to roll off.

"Your Highness, why don't you subject them to a strict interrogation, make them confess the Yuan family's plot, and sue them in court?" Lu Ran's heart trembled, and he paused for a while before asking.

"If it was useful to impeach Yuan Li in the court, Yuan Li would have died during the Yanzhou Rebellion." Zhao Xu said.

Lu Ran nodded, then thought of something, his face turned pale, and he knelt down, "Your Highness, the young one deserves to die, but my Lu family really has nothing to do with this matter, and after our Lu family handed over the property and disbanded the private soldiers, we will no longer have anything to do with Yan." Other wealthy people in the state wear a pair of pants.”

"Get up, I know what's going on." Zhao Xu stood up.

The three servants of the Lu family who just broke out were from Yanwei.

He knew very well what the Lu family had done and what they had not done.

This time, the Yan Guard members of his Lu family were exposed. One was to kill Xue Pan and others, and the other was caught off guard.

Another thing is to remind Dong Yang and Lu Sanjia again.

The palace has been keeping an eye on them. Don't think of collaborating with other wealthy families in Yanzhou to harm him in order to restore the previous power.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Lu Ran said carefully.

Now he hates Xue Pan. Even though he was not involved in this matter, he was used after all.

In the future, he will be pointed at his spine and gossiped about.

When Lu Ran was upset, Zhao Xu glanced at the corpses on the ground, turned around, walked out of the villa, and walked towards Yancheng.

When passing through the woods in front of Zhangshan Village, he met Qinshan.

The assassins lurking here were obviously eliminated by Qin Shan.

"Your Highness, please take a look." Qin Shan pointed to a pit on the road.

Zhao Xu glanced and saw a wooden barrel inside, with a fuse extending from the barrel into the woods.

Obviously the barrel contained gunpowder.

"Yuan Li used gunpowder to attack His Highness last time, and he used it again this time." Chang Wei lifted the barrel from the pit and dumped it. It turned out to be black gunpowder.

Zhao Xu felt a chill running down his spine.

This time, it was thanks to the people of Zhangshan Village and Yanwei that otherwise he could escape the assassination in the Villa, but he might not be able to escape this second assassination.

In the future, he will continue to increase investment in Yanwei to make his intelligence agency stronger.

"It's disrespectful to come and go without reciprocating, and I will retaliate." Zhao Xu's eyes narrowed.

Since Yuan Li wants to play with him, he will accompany him to the end.

Return to the palace.

Zhao Xu called Liu Fu and asked him to take some money from the treasury to reward the people of Zhangshan Village.

This incident made him even more convinced of one thing.

From the time he attacked the wealthy families and divided their property, the conflict between him and the wealthy families became irreconcilable.

After all, this is an essential contradiction.

If he stands on the side of the people, he will not be recognized by the wealthy family.

In this case, he will stand more firmly on the side of the people from now on.

The interests of the people are always the top priority.

If you try to please someone on both sides, you will end up being two-faced and not human.

After telling Liu Fu, he continued: "Chang Wei, you immediately lead troops to Ping County and Liao County, take over the soldiers of the two counties, and at the same time capture the wealthy families involved in this assassination."

"Yes, Your Highness." Chang Wei responded with his fists clasped, then turned and left in large strides.

When Liu Fu heard this, he said excitedly: "Now Ping County and Liao County, like Shanggu County, will be officially under the jurisdiction of the government."

Just as something suddenly occurred to him, he suddenly frowned, "I just cleared away the wealthy families in two counties, and this officialdom will be empty."

"I'm afraid this is also part of Yuan Li's plan. No matter whether the assassination of this king is successful or not, he will always be rewarded." Zhao Xu thought for a while and snorted softly.

…

Fan Yang.

In just one day, news of the failed assassination came back.

The Yuan family's residence.

Yuan Li looked at the three dead men in black who had managed to escape with a gloomy expression.

"I underestimated King Yan. He could know the news in advance. I'm afraid there are many King Yan's spies in Fanyang City." Yuan Li's eyes narrowed.

After thinking for a while, he waved the dead man away and asked Yuan Feng, the shepherd of Yanzhou, to be called.

This Yuan Feng was his third brother. After he was demoted, Yuan Feng was promoted to the position of state pastor.

But in fact Yuan Feng is just his puppet.

Not long after, Yuan Feng rushed over.

Yuan Lidao: "From today on, you must strictly check the people entering and leaving Fanyang. If there are any suspicious people, arrest them immediately. You would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go, because they are likely to be King Yan's spies."

"Yes, big brother!" Yuan Feng responded.

Originally, he was just a man waiting to die in the Yuan family, and being promoted to the position of state pastor was just Yuan Li's intention.

Naturally, he did not dare to disobey Yuan Li's orders.

"And..." Yuan Li rolled his eyes and said something to Yuan Feng again.

Yuan Feng showed a wicked smile, turned and left.
