Your Majesty, please stop messing around.
Chapter 599: Settlement and dust settling
In the hall and courtyard, everyone was in an uproar.
If Wu Xian saw that Prince Lin's expression changed after he came back, everyone would be uneasy and speculate.
But when Zhou Yu came back, he had the same gloomy and pale face. Although he tried his best to hide it, he still couldn't hide the panic in his eyes.
This scene immediately made everyone present panic.
"Brother Zhou, what happened?!"
"Did Prince Lin threaten you?"
"Say it quickly!"
Countless people focused their attention on Zhou Yu, looking anxious to ask for the result.
However, Zhou Yu just remained silent. There was a hint of fear on his pale face. He raised his eyes and met Wu Xian's eyes on the other side of the crowd.
At this moment, both of them saw the uneasiness and fear in each other's eyes.
It seems that he understands something... Prince Lin Wang has some crucial information about the two of them!
At this time, the maid in the inner hall appeared again, and her cold voice sounded again. As if being awakened, a name was read out again!
The person whose name was read also felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
Wu Xian and Zhou Yu, who had gone to see Prince Lin, both changed their expressions. Now, Prince Lin wants to see them alone. How can this not frighten people?
The person whose name was read, under the gaze of everyone, took a deep breath and followed the maid to the inner courtyard.
At this moment, in the hall, Wu Xianzai and Zhou Yu looked at each other, and both saw the fear and timidity in the other's eyes. The two looked at each other and gradually reached a unified opinion.
Wu Xian knows that today's plan to force the palace has failed!
In fact, the most important thing for him to do right now is to think about how to save the Wu family.
He never thought that he would be tricked by Prince Lin! Prince Na Lin Wang didn't show any clues, but he had already investigated the details of his Wu family clearly.
Especially...
When he thought of the account book Lin Jiangnian mentioned just now, Wu Xian's eyes showed fear, as if he were facing a formidable enemy.
Although he didn't know which account book Lin Jiangnian had in his hands, he did have dealings with the Xunyang Wang family.
He has done some shady things!
A year ago, the Wang family was wiped out, and I thought everything was settled. But he never expected that Prince Lin would be involved and find out some unknown secrets!
Wu Xian didn’t dare to gamble!
He didn't dare to bet on how many things related to his Wu family were contained in the ledger in Lin Jiangnian's hands!
Once he loses the bet, what awaits him in the Wu family will definitely be confiscating the entire family!
Thinking of this, Wu Xian broke into a cold sweat. He raised his eyes and looked at the scrutinizing and questioning gazes of countless powerful people from aristocratic families in the hall.
Wu Xian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, please leave today."
Wu Xian's words caused an uproar among the powerful people from various aristocratic families present. Everyone was stunned and asked why.
But Wu Xian didn't explain much. He looked seriously, glanced at everyone present, and said in a deep voice: "I waited... I was so wrong!"
"Let's all go back before it causes a big disaster."
Wu Xian's voice was not loud and spread throughout the silent hall and courtyard.
But at this time, someone finally discovered it. The door that had been closed before suddenly reopened silently.
And Wu Yue, who was originally blocking the door, has long since disappeared!
In the hall and courtyard, apart from the figures of various aristocratic families and various forces, there were no servants from the palace.
After Wu Xian reminded him, he stopped talking and walked out of the hospital.
The same was true for Zhou Yu on the other side. Facing everyone's inquiries, he showed a wry smile: "We all underestimated the methods of Prince Lin, and..."
Having said this, Zhou Yu was silent for a moment, with a hint of fear in his tone: "You have underestimated Prince Lin's Mansion!"
Having said this, Zhou Yu shook his head and looked at the leaders of several aristocratic families in the crowd who were friends with him: "Everyone, please go back."
After that, Zhou Yu said no more and left with the Zhou family.
After Wu Xian and Zhou Yu both left, everyone present was in chaos.
At this moment, everyone is a little confused!
What the hell is going on?
So what kind of magic power does Prince Lin have?
What exactly did he say to Wu Xian and Zhou Yu?
Why did both of them change their expressions after seeing him, and immediately retreated and ran away?
Did Prince Lin have some handle on them, or did he use something to bribe the two of them?
At this moment, no one knows!
A strange aura enveloped the hall.
With the departure of Wu Xian and Zhou Yu, many people retreated.
Most of them gathered at Prince Lin's Mansion today, and most of them were just joining in the fun. The life and death of the Chen family is not important to them. They just want to use the Chen family's affairs to attack the Prince Lin's Mansion and profit from it.
But now, Wu Xian and Zhou Yu, who originally organized everyone to come today, have already run away. The remaining people from these small aristocratic families naturally had a premonition that something was not going to happen.
As soon as Wu Xian and Zhou Yu left, the leaders of other aristocratic families got up and left with excuses.
There was the first one, then there was the second one, and then there was the third one... Soon, more and more powerful people from the aristocratic families began to evacuate.
Everyone present was not a fool, and they all expected that the situation was over. Even the Wu family and Zhou family have left, so what's the point of them staying here?
The plan to force the palace to come to the palace was a complete failure!
However, what they could not accept the most was that the leaders of their families gathered here. Almost all the bigwigs who controlled most of the power and economy in Linjiang City gathered in Linwang Mansion today. Not to mention meeting Prince Lin, they didn't even see the face of Prince Lin, and they collapsed like birds and beasts.
Unable to withstand a single blow!
And after Zhou Yu, the leader of the family who was summoned to meet Prince Lin alone did not come back for a long time!
This made many people more and more fearful and uneasy!
The remaining people from the families finally couldn't wait any longer and got up and left.
In the end, the front hall, which should have been crowded, was empty, leaving a mess.
Extremely deserted!
"Are they all gone?"
In the backyard, in the pavilion.
Lin Jiangnian, who received the news, showed a hint of understanding on his face.
"I looked up to them!"
He sneered and shook his head gently.
So many people came to Linwang Mansion to cause trouble today, and the momentum was huge. However, it was just thunder and rain!
Each family is for their own interests, and it is impossible for them to unite. Once their own interests are touched, they will collapse instantly!
Just solve the Wu family and the Zhou family, and the remaining families will be frightened and vulnerable!
Solving it is unexpectedly simple!
"If they don't leave, they won't be able to leave later!"
In the pavilion, Lin Kong replied in a deep voice.
There was more admiration and conviction in his eyes when he looked at the prince beside him.
Today, the families came to force the palace, but the prince did not show up, and the prince came to deal with it. Lin Kong did not expect that the prince had already grasped the handle of the Wu family and the Zhou family, and easily disintegrated and divided the Wu family and the Zhou family.
Once the Wu family and the Zhou family are solved, the remaining families are not worth mentioning at all. Just create a conflict crisis, and the others are like chickens and dogs.
However, this seems simple, but Wu Zhou and the others are not simple people, and they are not so easily intimidated. But His Highness was in the pavilion in the courtyard, taking control of the situation as if strolling in the garden.
Just now, Lin Kong stood behind His Highness the whole time, witnessing how the head of the Wu Zhou family was controlled by His Highness.
Thinking of this, Lin Kong was in a trance.
His Highness has really changed. Now His Highness has indeed had a lot of the demeanor of a prince.
"What's going on over there?"
Lin Jiangnian's voice interrupted Lin Kong's thoughts.
Lin Kong said in a deep voice: "When the people of the noble families gathered in the palace, General Dongfang had already led people out of the palace."
Lin Jiangnian nodded thoughtfully and looked out of the pavilion.
At this moment, in the courtyard outside the pavilion, a middle-aged man was kneeling, his face pale, his expression terrified, and uneasy.
"Master Lu, do you have anything else to say?"
At this moment, the middle-aged man was trembling all over, and his head almost hit the ground: "Your Highness, old, I deserve to die..."
"You old thing, you really deserve to die!"
Lin Jiangnian's eyes fell carelessly on the middle-aged man outside the pavilion. Compared with the Wu family and the Zhou family, the strength of the Lu family is indeed average, and it can only be regarded as a second- or third-rate small family in Linjiang City.
But the Lu family is not a law-abiding family. The things they do in private are not to be said to be innumerable, but they are also caught one by one, and it is not wronged no matter how they are caught.
"As a citizen of Linzhou, you have an affair with Xuzhou and resell military weapons. You people are really bold. You don't really think you can hide it from the palace, right?"
The middle-aged man trembled all over, his face was pale, and he couldn't say a word. He could only kowtow and beg for mercy.
Having an affair with Xuzhou and reselling military weapons, no matter which crime, is tantamount to treason!
The end is self-evident!
Not only their Lu family, but even many noble families in Linzhou have done such things in private. It's just that they always thought that no one knew about it, and everyone had a tacit understanding not to expose it.
But I didn't expect that the Lin Wangfu had known all this for a long time?
But, it has been waiting until now to finally prepare for the reckoning?
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man's face turned pale, and he felt that the end was coming.
At this time, Lin Jiangnian in the pavilion looked indifferent, "This prince can give you a chance to atone for your sins, it depends on whether you can grasp it..."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man suddenly raised his head, his eyes bursting with extreme excitement, and said in disbelief and surprise: "I, I do!!"
"..."
For the people of Linjiang City, today is undoubtedly a lively day!
A crazy day of eating melons!
The government office publicly interrogated the case of Chen Hongsheng, the head of the Chen family, for robbing prisoners, and the final result was very gratifying!
Chen Junru was executed, and Chen Hongsheng was sentenced to exile!
This result was beyond many people's expectations, but it made countless people applaud!
How can people not feel relieved when the head of the aristocratic family who used to be high and mighty now ends up like this? !
Some people felt sorry for the head of the Chen family, who ended up like this. But when they thought of him indulging his only son Chen Junru to bully men and women, kill people and set fires, the last bit of regret disappeared.
And just as the people were applauding, another big thing happened in the city!
Many people found that a large number of carriages and sedan chairs gathered outside the Linwang Mansion today, and they were so dense that they almost blocked the outside of the Linwang Mansion.
Just as the people were wondering if something big happened in the Linwang Mansion, many soldiers and guards of the Linwang Mansion suddenly appeared on the streets of Linjiang City, riding their horses in full armor.
Such a hurried pace aroused the curiosity and discussion of many people!
Many curious people followed and saw the soldiers and guards of the Lin Wang Mansion crossing the street and heading straight towards the aristocratic families in the city.
Soon, rumors spread... The Zhu family in the west of the city was raided by the Lin Wang Mansion!
According to the onlookers, the entire Zhu family was surrounded by the guards of the Lin Wang Mansion, and the soldiers of the Lin Wang Mansion directly broke into the Zhu family.
The guards of the Zhu family wanted to resist and were killed on the spot. The entire Zhu family was captured!
Before the people had finished eating this melon, news came from the east of the city... The soldiers of the Lin Wang Mansion also raided the Yan family in the east of the city!
...
When the news came one after another, the people were boiling!
What happened?
What happened to the Lin Wang Mansion today?
Why did they start raiding the house? !
The Lin Wang Mansion, which had been silent for a long time, made a big move with this move, shocking everyone!
And the actions of the Lin Wang Mansion are far from over. Within one day, three or four noble families were raided by the Linwang Mansion!
There were also many noble families who were also interrogated by the Linwang Mansion!
Among them, there were also several noble families who were extremely resistant. To be able to survive in Linjiang City and become a big noble family, their strength should not be underestimated.
Such noble families usually raise dead soldiers and offerings, and even train troops privately. When the Linwang Mansion raided, several noble families were extremely resistant.
But in the end, they were quickly suppressed by the Linwang Mansion!
Compared with the Linwang Mansion, the few people of the noble families are still far from enough.
From the information leaked, it is said that these noble families secretly colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country, sold out the news of Linzhou, and secretly smuggled military supplies.
When the news came out, it aroused the anger of the people!
The common people hate traitors the most!
For a time, the reputation of these noble families fell to the bottom!
It is said that when the heads of the noble families came out of the Linwang Mansion and hurried back home, what was waiting for them was the sharp knife that the Linwang Mansion had been waiting for for a long time!
...
Linjiang City.
In a house surrounded by mountains and rivers.
Old Zhao sat in the attic, his old face slightly serious: "What is the situation in the city?"
"Grandpa, people from various noble families have gathered in the Linwang Mansion, and the leaders of the Wu and Zhou families have gone there!"
Zhao Jing seemed to think of something, and a sneer appeared on his face: "I think the Linwang Prince can't get away with it this time. I guess he is probably sweating now!"
Old Zhao's eyes condensed slightly, and a bit of coldness appeared on his face: "This kid asked for it, and he must be taught a profound lesson!"
Thinking of being treated so rudely by that kid before, Old Zhao's eyes showed a little coldness.
"Grandpa, why don't we go over and take a look today?"
Zhao Jing couldn't help asking, he really wanted to watch the excitement and see what Lin Jiangnian would react to being forced by the elders of various families today?
It must be very exciting!
"You are still young, you will understand later."
Old Zhao shook his head lightly, without explaining too much.
Just as the grandfather and grandson were discussing, suddenly a hurried and anxious footstep stumbled into the backyard.
"Master, Master..."
"Why are you so flustered?" Zhao Jing scolded.
"Outside, outside..."
The servant looked flustered: "Someone wants to see the master!"
"Who wants to see me?"
Old Zhao frowned, looking unhappy. Who wants to see him and make the servant so flustered.
"Yes, it's... Prince Lin!"
"What?!"
Old Zhao suspected that he had heard it wrong, and his expression was startled: "Who did you say wants to see me?"
"Lin, Prince Lin..."
The servant's face was pale, and his voice was trembling: "Just, just outside..."
Boom!
Old Zhao and Zhao Jing could hardly sit still, their eyes suddenly widened, unbelievable.
Prince? !
