"Xue Pan conspires to assassinate the King of Yan, and any participants will be killed without any slightest!"

Xu Lie shouted at this time.

In just a moment, most of the children of the wealthy clan who had accomplices with Xue Pan were killed and injured, and Xue Pan also retreated repeatedly under the attack of the guards.

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

"If I don't come, how could you rebels show up? But since I am here, how could you be without any preparation?" Zhao Xu sneered.

"Crash with me and kill!"

Before he could finish his speech, he heard the sound of yelling to kill outside the yard.

Chang Wei led the ambush out from the bottom of the mountain.

Xue Pandeng's face changed.

Obviously, he was wrong, and King Yan had already prepared in advance.

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

"bite."

"when."

"kill!"

“…”

The assassin could not rush in, and the battle in the yard immediately showed a one-sided situation.

Xue Pan and Zhu Rong only brought more than 30 children from the family.

Most of the casualties were killed and injured under the encirclement of Yan Guards and the royal palace guards.

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

While fighting with the Xue family, Lu Ran beat and scolded: "Xue Pan, you beast, I kindly match you up, but you are so harmful to me. Today I will take you down with your own hands and leave it to Your Highness."

While screaming, Lu Ran kept moving in his hands.

With the cooperation of two servants, a child of the Xue family was killed, and Lu Ran rushed directly to Xue Pan.

At this moment, Xue Pan no longer had the pride he had just now, his eyes were full of horror.

This ambush failed.

After several breaths, the last Xue family member fell under the knife of the guards of the royal palace.

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

Zhao Xu'an sat in the main seat of the banquet, leisurely drinking the wine in the glass.

Drinking the last drop of wine, Xu Lie rushed Xue Pan to him.

"Kneel down!" Xu Lie shouted loudly.

Two guards on the left and right grabbed Xue Pan's arm and kicked him in the bend of his legs. Xue Pan immediately fell to the ground.

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

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

"Your Highness, all the assassins are killed, and a small number of them are still escaping. The cavalry at the foot of the mountain will continue to encircle them." Chang Wei looked at Xue Pan, who was kneeling on the ground, with anger in his eyes.

Zhao Xu nodded and looked at Xue Pan at this time, "Is this a matter instructed by Yuan Li?"

"What's the matter? So what? In short, we, the wealthy clan and the King of Yan, are incompatible. Today I am dead. In the future, other wealthy clans will kill you, and we will never stop!" Xue Pan shouted.

When Zhao Xu heard this, he laughed and said, "Since that's the case, I want to see what you have to do!"

After saying that, he gave Xu Lie a look.

Xu Lie held up the long sword in his hand and fell down violently, and his head rolled down.

"Your Highness, why don't you interrogate strictly and ask him to confess the Yuan family's plans and sue them in the court." Lu Ran's heart trembled, he was stunned for a while, and asked.

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

Lu Ran nodded, then thought of something, his face turned pale, and he knelt down, "Your Highness, you should be damned, but my Lu family really has nothing to do with this matter. Moreover, after my Lu family handed over the land and disbanded the private soldiers, he no longer wore a pair of pants with other wealthy families in Yanzhou."

"Get up, I have a clear idea in my heart." Zhao Xu stood up.

The three servants of the Lu family who had just risen are Yan Wei's people.

He knew very well what the Lu family did and didn't do.

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

Another thing is to remind Dong, Yang and Lu families again.

The royal palace has been staring at them, not thinking about colluding with other wealthy families in Yanzhou, which is not conducive to him, so as to restore his previous power.

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

Now he hated Xue Pan to death. Even though he did not participate in this matter, he was finally used.

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

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

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

The assassin lying here was obviously cleaned up by Qin Shan.

"Please look at your highness." Qin Shan pointed to a pit on the road.

Zhao Xu glanced at it and found a wooden barrel inside, and a fuse extended from the barrel into the woods.

It is obvious that the barrel contains gunpowder.

"Last time Yuan Li used gunpowder to attack His Highness, and this time he used it again." Chang Wei lifted the wooden barrel from the earth pit and poured it down. It was indeed black gunpowder inside.

Zhao Xu felt cold on his spine.

This time, it was a disadvantage to the people of Zhangshan Village and Yan Wei. Otherwise, he would have escaped from the assassination of the villa, and he would have been unable to escape the second assassination.

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

"It's impolite to come but not come back, I will give you a favor." Zhao Xu's eyes narrowed.

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

Back to the palace.

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

This incident made him more convinced of one thing.

From the beginning of his fight against the rich and dividing the land, his conflicts with the rich and tyrants became irreconcilable.

After all, this is an essential contradiction.

If he stands on the side of the people, he will not be able to get the recognition of the wealthy family.

Since this is the case, he must stand firmly on the side of the people in the future.

The interests of the people are the most important in every situation.

If you want to try to please both sides, you will only be unfamiliar with both sides.

After explaining to Liu Fu, he continued: "Chang Wei, you will immediately lead troops to Pingjun and Liaojun, take over the county soldiers of the two counties, and at the same time clear the nobles involved in this assassination."

"Yes, Your Highness." Chang Wei replied with his fists and strode away.

Liu Fu was excited when he heard this: "Now Pingjun Liao County, like Shanggu County, will be officially included in the government office."

Just suddenly thought of something, he suddenly frowned, "I just cleared the wealthy families of the two counties, and the officialdom was empty."

"This is probably also under Yuan Li's plan. No matter whether the assassination of this king is successful or not, he will never lose." Zhao Xu thought for a while and snorted softly.

...

Fan Yang.

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

Yuan’s mansion.

Yuan Li looked at the three black-clothed dead men who escaped by chance, and his face was gloomy.

"I underestimated the King of Yan. He could hear the news in advance, but I'm afraid there are many King of Yan's eyes in Fanyang City." Yuan Li narrowed his eyes.

After thinking for a while, he waved his hand to let the dead soldiers leave, and asked someone to call Yuan Feng, the governor of Yanzhou.

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

But in fact, Yuan Feng is just his puppet.

Soon, Yuan Feng rushed over.

Yuan Li said: "From today on, you must strictly investigate the people entering and leaving Fanyang. If there is a suspicious person, you will arrest him immediately. It is better to kill a thousand people by mistake than to let one go, because they are likely to be the eyeliner of the King of Yan."

"Yes, brother!" Yuan Feng said.

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

He naturally did not dare to disobey Yuan Li's orders.

"And..." Yuan Li's eyes turned, and he said to Yuan Feng again.
