Chapter 106 Those who dare to resist...

Qinghe Mansion, Cui Family.

In the hall.

The head of the Cui family sat on the main seat, with more than twenty people sitting on the left and right below him.

These people are members of various aristocratic families in Yanzhou, and they hold important positions in their respective aristocratic families.

After receiving contact from the Cui family, these people gathered at the Cui family.

It can be said that the wealthy families who can influence the entire situation in Yanzhou are basically sitting in the small hall of the Cui family.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was quiet.

Even if there are more than 20 people, they are not noisy.

Everyone was silent, with different expressions on their faces, but without exception, their brows were frowned.

The head of the Cui family, who was sitting on the main seat, glanced at everyone and was the first to break the silence; "Everyone, I believe you have all received the news about what the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court in Yanzhou City did."

"The officials arrested by the Imperial Envoy are inextricably linked to each of our families, and most of them are even members of our families."

"Now that these people have been arrested, you should know what it means?"

"Our families have dirty butts. If the arrested people cannot withstand the interrogation of the imperial envoy and confess something, our families will be in great trouble."

"Especially the imperial court's intention of sending the imperial envoy to Yanzhou. You should all have figured it out."

"This is a drunkard's intention, not the wine, but the rights of Yanzhou."

"In just two days, not only more than half of the government officials in the state government were arrested, but also many officials in the government offices in various prefectures and counties were arrested."

"If this continues, our families will no longer have any say in Yanzhou."

"So, I'm contacting each of your families for a meeting, just to discuss some of these matters. How should each of us resolve these matters?"

"Next, where should each of our families go?"

The head of the Cui family, who was sitting on the main seat, glanced at the people below with a solemn expression and said.

His deep voice made everyone present feel heavy in their hearts.

The more than twenty people sitting below had serious expressions on their faces after hearing the words of the head of the Cui family in the main seat.

Because they knew that the head of the Cui family who was sitting on the throne was right and there was no exaggeration at all.

Each of their families was indeed unclean, and the officials arrested by the Imperial Envoy were basically members of their families.

This is an important reason why each of their families can influence the situation in Yanzhou and control the power of Yanzhou.

Now that these officials have been arrested, not only has their family's tentacles on Yanzhou's power been cut off, it may also involve them.

What if these arrested officials could not withstand the interrogation of the imperial envoy and confessed something detrimental to each of their families?

Then each of their families will be in big trouble.

The most important thing is that the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court arrested many officials in Yanzhou in just two days, ranging from the prefect to the magistrate and the county magistrate.

No one who is found to have problems will be spared.

This kind of thunderous method is obviously to clean up Yanzhou's officialdom and affect the interests of the aristocratic families in Yanzhou.

This is the reason why these wealthy and aristocratic families are truly dignified.

The more than twenty people from the aristocratic families looked at each other, and their frowns became even tighter.

They all knew what the head of the Cui family sitting at the head of the throne said, but no one of them dared to speak easily for a while.

After all, this kind of thing is not only related to the life or death of one or several of them, but also related to the prosperity and interests of each family.

If you are not careful, the consequences will be immeasurable.

The head of the Cui family, who was sitting on the main seat, saw that the people below were silent, so he stopped speaking.

Anyway, these matters are not only related to the Cui family, but to the entire wealthy Yanzhou family.

The Cui family has just taken the lead to speak, so it will be up to the other wealthy families to see what they want.

The atmosphere in the hall became dull for a while.

A fat middle-aged man sitting in the front seat on the right said to the head of the Cui family, "Ji Lao, we all know what you said."

"We all have common interests in Yanzhou. The Imperial Envoy has arrested so many officials. It is estimated that none of our families will be spared."

"The most important thing is that the imperial court is not just moving a few officials, it is also trying to move our family's right to speak in Yanzhou."

"So, what I mean is, we must not let that imperial envoy continue like this, and we must contain the outstretched hand of the imperial court."

"Otherwise, everyone may be in big trouble next."

The slightly fat middle-aged man said with a solemn expression.

"Yes, that's what I mean by promoting aging."

"Yanzhou is the foothold of each of our families. If the imperial court wants to take a piece of Yanzhou's cake, it has to ask each of our families if they agree."

"If there are any good countermeasures or methods to promote aging, I will fully cooperate with them."

Following the slightly fat middle-aged man, another member of the aristocratic family spoke up.

People from these aristocratic families know in their hearts that they are gathered here just for these things.

Now that someone has taken the lead, there is no need for them to cover up these intentions.

They all spoke out one after another, and everyone's meaning was similar. It was simply that they did not want the court to touch their piece of profit cake in Yanzhou.

Listening to the opinions of the more than 20 people from the aristocratic families below, the head of the Cui family, who was sitting at the head of the table, nodded cautiously; "Since everyone means this, it will be much easier to handle."

"Yanzhou is the foothold of each of our families. If the imperial court takes away the power, you all know what the situation will be like for each of our families, so I don't need to say more."

"So, in order to preserve our respective voices in Yanzhou, we must all work together to take some risks."

"First let all the people sent by the imperial court stay in Yanzhou, so that none of our families will be involved."

"I think you all know exactly how to do it."

The head of the Cui family, who was in the main seat, glanced at everyone.

No one who can sit here is a simple person, they are all important figures from various families in Yanzhou.

Anyone who knows how to use this method is an expert.

After hearing what the head of the Cui family said, the more than 20 people from the aristocratic families below all looked at each other.

They all understood what the head of the Cui family meant.

This is indeed a bit risky.

If you don't do it right, your family will be confiscated and your family will be exterminated.

However, compared with their common interests, they seem to have no choice.

One of the aristocratic family members frowned and reminded, "Don't forget that Lu Bu, the general who suppressed the rebellion, had already annihilated King Xiaoyao and pacified Daizhou."

"In Daizhou, there is an army of 100,000 imperial guards to suppress the rebellion."

"For the cavalry, it will take a little more than a day to get from Daizhou to Yanzhou."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone in the hall changed slightly.

yes!

The imperial court's 100,000 counter-rebellion army had just wiped out Xiaoyao King Zhou Qian and was still in Daizhou.

If something goes wrong here in Yanzhou, the imperial court's counter-rebellion army will be able to rush to Yanzhou in a blink of an eye.

In particular, Lu Bu, the lieutenant general who suppressed the rebellion, and the three thousand Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry under his command, left an indelible impression on wealthy families like Yanzhou.

It simply comes and goes like the wind, and the speed is staggering.

It probably won't take more than a day to get from Daizhou to Yanzhou.

The atmosphere in the hall instantly fell into a dull mood because of this reminder from a member of the aristocratic family.

No one can ignore the imperial court's 100,000-strong army that suppressed the rebellion, not even wealthy families like them.

They were afraid of the imperial court's 100,000-strong army to suppress the rebellion, but they were even more afraid of Lu Bu, who led 100,000 troops and was named the Zhonglang General in the suppression of the rebellion.

Three thousand wolves ride on Yanzhou.

King Xiaoyao was destroyed in one battle.

A rare half-step celestial being in the world.

Any one of these is enough to make people look solemn.

Little did they know that the person they were afraid of was already leading troops to Qinghe Mansion for them.

If the people from these aristocratic families here knew this news, I don’t know what they would think.

…

Outside Cui Mansion.

Lu Bu stood on horseback, with three thousand Bingzhou wolf cavalry behind him.

There are still five thousand elite Shenwu Guards around, and they have surrounded the entire Cui Mansion.

Next to Lu Bu, Cao Shaoqin also rode a horse, standing side by side with Lu Bu.

Behind Cao Shaoqin were hundreds of Dongchang factory guards wearing flying eagle uniforms, carrying crescent knives, and wearing jade belts around their waists.

Cao Shaoqin lightly glanced at Lu Bu next to him and said, "General Lu, this matter can be solved by the Za family with five thousand divine guards, so why bother General Lu with three thousand wolf cavalry himself?"

Previously, Fang Xuanling sent a letter to Lu Bu.

As soon as Lu Bu received Fang Xuanling's letter, in order to rush to Yanzhou as soon as possible, he only brought Bingzhou wolf cavalry and five thousand elite Shenwu guards, without bringing more troops.

In Lu Bu's opinion, three thousand Bingzhou wolf cavalry are enough to suppress everything in Yanzhou.

I brought five thousand extra divine guards just in case.

As soon as Lu Bu led his troops back to Yanzhou, he happened to catch up with Cao Shaoqin and received the news that wealthy families gathered in Cui Mansion.

In addition, in the past two days, Dongchang has pried open the mouths of many officials and dug out a lot of useful things, and these wealthy families are involved.

Therefore, Cao Shaoqin wanted to take this opportunity to catch all the wealthy people gathered in Cui Mansion.

Fang Xuanling was afraid that Cao Shaoqin would be unable to survive alone, so he asked Lu Bu to bring Bingzhou Langqi and Cao Shaoqin together.

When Lu Bu heard Cao Shaoqin's words, he looked at Cui Fu and said, "Although these wealthy families in Yanzhou don't have any powerful masters or strong men, they still have some background."

"Master Fang is afraid that you will capsize in the gutter and be unable to control the situation, so I have to let this future person hold the line for you."

"Don't worry, these people are not worthy of the general's action."

"I will only stay outside. If you want to arrest people, you from the East Factory will come."

"The five thousand divine warriors are still under your full command."

Lu Bu said calmly.

For eunuchs like Cao Shaoqin, Lu Bu had neither hostility nor good impressions.

Cao Shaoqin glanced at Lu Bu softly again: "Then the Za family would like to thank General Lu for taking charge of the Za family."

Cao Shaoqin said, feeling a little unhappy.

What do you mean by fearing that he will capsize in the gutter and be unable to control the situation?

When Dongchang took action, he overturned the boat, and when he could no longer control the situation.

How could the few wealthy families in Yanzhou make waves in the hands of Cao Shaoqin?

Cao Shaoqin stopped talking nonsense with Lu Bu and stepped forward, waving his finger and saying, "Do it, no one from the Za family can escape."

"Dare there be any resisters..."

"Kill without mercy."

As soon as these three words were spoken, Cao Shaoqin jumped up, like a roc spreading its wings, and was the first to rush into Cui Mansion.

The soft sword in his waist came out.

Before the guards of Cui Mansion could react, they only felt a pain in their necks and then fell to the ground.

As Cao Shaoqin took action, the factory guards behind Cao Shaoqin also rushed into the Cui Mansion brandishing crescent knives.

Immediately behind the factory guards were the elite Shenwu Guards in armor.

"kill."

The sound of fighting immediately alarmed the entire Cui Mansion.

After hearing the sound, the guards of the Cui Mansion and some masters rushed over. Unfortunately, what greeted these people was a rain of powerful crossbows from the Shenwu Guards.

Facing a national war machine like the Five Thousand Shenwu Guards, a few house guards and ordinary masters simply cannot stop it.

In an instant, the unprepared Cui Mansion was attacked by factory guards and Shenwu guards.

Cao Shaoqin ran towards the direction of the hall, the soft sword in his hand dripping with blood.

Along the way, anyone who stood in front of Cao Shaoqin or encountered an expert running towards him was sent to hell by Cao Shaoqin's sword.

Following closely behind Cao Shaoqin were the hundreds of factory guards. The crescent knives in each of their hands were also dripping with blood.

…

In the hall.

The dull atmosphere was suddenly broken by the sound of fighting outside.

Everyone was shocked and stood up together.

Even the head of the Cui family is no exception.

You know, this is the Cui family. Anyone who dares to start a war in the Cui family is really overly ambitious.

"what happened?"

The head of the Cui family stood up and walked directly outside.

When people from other aristocratic families saw it, they all followed and walked out.

As soon as he walked out of the hall, the sight in front of him made the face of the head of the Cui family change.

I saw that the courtyard outside the hall was already covered with corpses, and there were angry arrows everywhere.

The screams continued, and the sounds of fighting also continued.

Especially when the head of the Cui family saw the flying eagle uniform with obviously special clothing, his pupils couldn't help but shrink.

Dongchang Eagle Dog?

The head of the Cui family did not expect that the Dongchang Factory Guards would actually break into his Cui Mansion, as well as the Shenwu Guards wearing armor and stomach.

How is this going?

Why did Dongchang and Shenwuwei suddenly break into his Cui family?

Also, when did the Shenwu Guards return to Yanzhou from Daizhou and come to Qinghe Mansion?

His Cui family didn’t receive any news at all?

Even the other people from the aristocratic families who followed the head of the Cui family looked shocked.

None of them expected that the people from Dongchang and the Shenwu Guards would suddenly break into the Cui Mansion.

What is this scenario?

Could it be that the arrested officials couldn't withstand the interrogation of the imperial envoy and said something they shouldn't have said?

Or has the news that these wealthy families gathered in Cui Mansion to discuss dealing with the imperial envoys leaked?
