Four hundred and eighty the death of Xu Yan
"You are finally here." Xu Yan looked at the three masked men in black standing side by side in front of him, and his face was very calm.
If the dead bodies and blood are all over the ground are ignored, perhaps this is just a special underground meeting, but this situation cannot be ignored. Therefore, this scene is actually the last scene of a carefully designed assassination operation. Once this scene is completed, it means the end of the entire operation, which means that Xu Yan's death has come to an end and Xu Yan's life has come to an end.
It also means that the joint business group of the aristocratic families had encountered difficulties in its operation at the beginning. The head of the Xu family declared dead, and the chief leader of the Shandong joint business group declared dead.
His death alone may not bring too much problems in normal times, but now it is definitely a shocking thing. Of course, it is shocking the sky in Shandong and the earth in Shandong. Xu Yan himself knows this. So in addition to lamenting that Marquis Suning, who is very wise and close to demons, attaches great importance to him, he also laments that his efforts have been put into scatters and destroyed...
"Blood Drop, take the head of the Marquis' order." The head of the black-clad masked Blood Drop looked at Xu Yan coldly and said lightly, without any emotion in his voice. This is the usual style of Blood Drop. Although it was established for a relatively short time, the training charter for Blood Drop was determined by Marquis Su himself. Three months of hell training, compared with the so-called hell training military training at the Military University, I don't know how strong it is.
"Blood Drops, hahaha, I really couldn't imagine it. Your marquis is really perfect, and he really looks like the wise and demon-like Zhuge Wuhou in his works. However, Zhuge Wuhou has never done such a thing..." Xu Yan smiled sarcastically: "With this method to deal with the enemy, Marquis Su seems a little embarrassed, right? Don't you have the courage to confront the enemy head-on?"
The masked blood drip in black still said without emotion: "The Marquis is a descendant of the Zongheng family. His style of conduct never takes into account benevolence, righteousness and morality. We are under the jurisdiction of the Zongheng Municipal Government, so of course the same is true. Besides, the Marquis had long expected that you would have this question. So let me tell you these things.
The Three Kingdoms are just novels, not official history. The Marquis is a real person, not a person in the novel. When Zhuge Wuhou was alive, he would not do these things less, but you just don’t know. Don’t compare the Marquis with anyone. The Marquis is the Marquis, not anyone.”
Xu Yan was slightly lost in his mind. After a while, he came back to his senses and showed a self-deprecating smile: "This is how I am dying. However, there is still the last request. Can you let my family go after you take my life? The disaster is not as good as my family!"
The masked blood drip in black said, "The blood drip is the highest command, and you will follow the command of all actions. The Marquis asked me to do whatever I asked me to do, and I will do what I will do!"
Xu Yan seemed a little disappointed. He nodded and looked up at the sky and said, "What a beautiful moonlight, it's a pity that there is no hope to see it again in this life. I hope that in twenty years, I will see it again! Everyone, please do it!"
A cold light flashed, and a big head was slashed down neatly, blood burst out, and then returned to calm. Three black-clothed masked blood droplets, oh, to be precise, it should be the blood flowers of the second group of Blood Droplets, which put the head in the black cloth sac and quickly disappeared into the dark night...
In order to attract Xu Yan alone, it took a lot of effort and even sacrificed five blood droplets. But it doesn't matter. Blood Flower has the power to take action first and then report. As long as it is beneficial to the Tang Dynasty, the Zonghengsi, or the order from the Marquis, the blood droplets are no problem. All actions are followed, and this is also the highest order. The highest order of Blood Drills, the second group of Blood Drills can be above it.
Xu Yan's death declared the defeat of the first battle of the Shandong United Commercial Group. For Suning, this is a long-awaited good thing. If this thing is done, the power of the Shandong United Commercial Group will drop by 30%. No one is more lethal than Xu Yan, who has personally contacted the Western Turkic United Commercial Group model. And with such a status, Xu Yan's death is really better.
But relatively speaking, the Shandong family was extremely shocked by Xu Yan's death. The caravan had only set off for three days with great courage. Now it has lost its main general and is the first general under the head of the Cui family. This loss surprised all the heads of the aristocratic family, and then hurriedly held a joint enlarged meeting.
The crime scene was in a valley about three miles east of the Shandong United Business Group's headquarters. It is said that the crime scene was quite bloody and brutal. The people found it followed a seemingly unintentional but intentional blood. As a result, they saw a scene where all other flesh was minced except for a headless corpse. Suddenly, many merchants who were not mentally able to withstand fainted, and many people vomited a lot.
The headless corpse was Xu Yan's body. Looking at the clothes, it should be. Of course, that's not the end. Because the chaos in the morale caused by Xu Yan's death is the most important issue. The Shandong family quickly reported to the official position, but in fact they did not expect this. They just made a gesture and caused some trouble to Suning. They almost immediately thought that this matter must be related to Suning, but there was no evidence, and there was really no evidence.
Waiting for the next murdered person to appear or waiting for the Shandong United Commercial Group to inflict itself without fighting? It is not possible.
Therefore, the Shandong Joint and Enlarged Conference was held for this purpose. They had to discuss the next plan. They must not let Suning succeed, and they must not give up the momentum that had improved just now. The emperor was unable to hold on and agreed to open the northern trade barrier. He saw that this trade barrier was about to be in their hands...
As a result, the creator of all this, the only business elite who could confront Suning head-on, died in a bad life. Others didn't know it, but Cui Zhang knew it. The reason why he came up with these countermeasures and turned the situation around was entirely due to Xu Yan's advice. At this time, Cui Zhang was very regretful because he was careless and forgot to equip Xu Yan with several powerful guards. As a result, Xu Yan had only ten guards around him. There were only more than 300 professional guards in the entire Shandong United Business Group, which made Suning take advantage of the loophole.
In fact, Cui Zhang cannot be blamed. Who asked His Majesty Li Er to put Zuo Xiaowei and Yuchi Gong in the guards of Shandong? All the major families gathered their forces to strictly guard their ancestral property, and received all the private soldiers who were originally worthy to defend themselves in the base camp for defense. The number of people who could be allocated to the Shandong United Commercial Group was greatly reduced. However, their consideration was that everyone was carrying weapons, and they were all big men. Is the huge commercial group with more than 2,000 people still not at all able to resist?
He guessed correctly, but he really didn't have much resistance. The elite guards were only five elite soldiers trained by Xu Yan himself. As for the remaining five, it was still a big risk when employed. Besides, this is going to discuss business, and it is not the first time I went there. Where can there be those dangers?
But the danger really appeared, and it was quite dangerous. Xu Yan's life was taken away directly, which made the family members panic, and further gathered the defense scope, and even narrowed the defense scope to their own ancestral homes to protect their families with all their strength. Who knew that Suning could assassinate once and not assassinate the second time? Who is the target of the next time?
So this time the conference was much larger, and the equipment was also varied, such as swords, swords, crossbows, etc. Some tycoons even wore soft hedgehog armor, trying to ensure they could not die... They must not know that the way of killing blood droplets and blood flowers is to cut the head and attack the head. That is the most practical way of killing people. Is there any use for protecting them?
Although Cui Zhang and other tribe leaders of the four major clans were quite anxious, they had to accept the proposals of their families, strengthen the number and level of guards around them, and carefully arrange them to enter and exit. Do not leave the house unless necessary. The patrol and outside the house are patrolling and exploring 24 hours a day, trying to ensure the safety of the heads of the family. This is indeed a very important measure. If one person dies, the second person cannot be killed.
The emperor is obviously in the same group as them. They will not protect themselves and others. All they will do is to cause trouble and cooperate with the inside and outside! Is there any law and justice in this world?
They also know the king's law... and have they ever thought about the king's law and justice when they forced others to have no way out to heaven and no way out to the earth?
Suning will never stop because of this. It is far more than these methods to deal with them. It is not easy to deal with them. Using assassination too much will only backfire. They are still on simple fear and defense psychology. They have not thought that they can also use assassination methods to deal with themselves. After all, they are much better than those bankers and will not always like to assassinate their opponents.
Suning is different. If you are unhappy, you will really kill you. Besides, it is not easy to confront these big families and big families with political and economic methods. However, once you kill a person, you will use a lot of loopholes to take advantage of. The elite Blood Flower Force is so hungry...
The Shandong Joint Enlarged Conference ended in just twelve hours, just one day. According to the inside report, there were not many topics and one hand could count them, but they were all very important topics, such as the candidates for the second joint business group leader and the protection measures of the leader, as well as the protection measures of the heads of each family and the protection measures of the direct relatives, as well as the points that the heads of each family must pay attention to when they go out, including the reaffirmation of the main mission and purpose of the business group.
Without the strategic plan of Xu Yan, a general, in many aspects, the Shandong Group could only blindly cross the river by feeling the stones. It was impossible for the heads of family members who were born as merchants to do so, and could not understand that the power and usage of the so-called economic war exceeded their imagination and could not be used. Apart from Xu Yan, who had personally experienced it, there was no longer a suitable candidate.
Finally, everyone had no choice but to elect a person with a high status and a considerable commercial standard. Cui Xiaoyi, the head of the Boling Cui family, asked him to be the leader of the Shandong United Business Group, and fully represent the interests of the entire Shandong gentry class. He set out north and attacked the barbarians in the north. He must regain the commercial path and regain the interests!
Cui Xiaoyi was quite collapsed. He was not young anymore, over fifty years old. Although he had been responsible for the business operations of the Choi family in Boling for a long time, he was also very tired and was ready to retire and enjoy his life. This was the compensation that Cui promised to give him, as compensation for giving up political power. But at this moment, did he have to sacrifice his last life? Can't even enjoy his life? This is the tragedy of being a concubine's son?
He finally realized that the dispute between legitimate and illegitimate is cruel to anyone. Although the Shandong gentry is noble, they also pay more attention to the dispute between legitimate and illegitimate. A concubine like him is very glorious to outsiders, but he has no status at all when he is in the family. He can't understand how his half-brother treats him. This time, Cui Xiaoli, the head of the Cui family of Boling, took the initiative to propose. What is the intention? It's clearer...
