Chapter 150 Jiexiu Fan Family

Jiexiu Mansion.

On this day, the atmosphere in Jiexiu Mansion was very strange. The four gates of the city were under martial law since early in the morning.

Moreover, a lot of guards were added to the four gates of Fucheng.

Those who wanted to enter or exit the city gate were blocked by the gate guards.

This makes many people very dissatisfied.

Why is it that people are not allowed to enter or leave the city gate without any reason?

But these people can only feel guilty and dare not speak out.

Because this is an order from the Fan family of Jiexiu Prefecture.

What does the Fan family represent in Jiexiu Mansion?

No one doesn't know.

That was the local emperor of Jiexiu Mansion.

It can be said that the Fan family has absolute authority in Jiexiu Mansion.

Even the government office is inferior to the Fan family.

It can be seen how powerful the Fan family is in Jiexiu Mansion.

Therefore, in the Jiexiu Mansion, no one can disobey the orders given by the Fan family.

The government office must also acquiesce and cooperate.

At this moment, the Fan family mansion.

In the meeting hall.

More than a dozen heads of the Fan family gathered together, looking at Fan Zhou, the head of the Fan family, in the chair with some confusion.

The dozen or so heads of the Fan family didn't understand why the patriarch Fan Zhou suddenly asked the city gate guards to put the four gates of the city under martial law, and also summoned them, the heads of the Fan family, together.

Could it be that something big happened?

More than a dozen heads of the Fan family couldn't help but guess.

You know, under normal circumstances, the clan leader Fan Zhou would not do such an out-of-bounds move.

This is the first time in history.

Fan Zhou, the head of the Fan family who was sitting on the main seat, glanced at the dozen or so heads of the Fan family below and said in a deep voice, "I have called you here today because I have something very important to tell you."

"This matter is related to the rise and fall of my Fan family, and it is also related to the life and death of my Fan family."

Fan Zhou looked at the dozen or so principals below with a solemn expression.

The tone is low.

The dozen or so principals sitting below were obviously startled when they heard Fan Zhou's words.

In their impression, they have never seen the head of their family with such a solemn expression.

"Patriarch, has something happened?" An old man sitting on the left hand side looked at Fan Zhou on the main seat and asked.

Fan Zhou spoke directly without hesitation, "I just received news from Luoyang that Yong Dou's house was ransacked by someone in the palace."

"The one in the palace also issued an order to kill the nine Yongdou clans."

What?

Kill the nine Yongdou tribes?

Wouldn't that mean killing my Jiexiu Fan family?

When the dozen or so heads of the Fan family sitting below heard the news from Fan Zhou, their expressions all changed.

Although Fan Yongdou separated his family, he was still the one who introduced him to the Fan family.

The man in the palace ransacked Fan Yongdou's house and wanted to kill all nine Fan Yongdou clans.

Then wouldn't the Fan family of his introduction be among those to be killed?

What happened?

Why did the man in the palace plunder Fan Yongdou's family and also decree to kill Fan Yongdou's nine clans?

The dozen or so heads of the Fan family present all looked at Fan Zhou in the chief seat.

"Moreover, my Fan family's many years of business operations in Luoyang were also wiped out by the palace man."

"This is the news from Luoyang. You can take turns to take a look at the specific situation."

Fan Zhou handed a message from Luoyang to the dozen or so principals of the Fan family present below.

The dozen or so heads of the Fan family sitting below immediately took turns watching the news coming back from Luoyang.

They were eager to know why Fan Yongdou's house was confiscated by someone in the palace, and why he ordered the annihilation of Fan Yongdou's nine clans.

Of course, some of the core leaders who knew about the plans of the three major aristocratic families and the King of Shu were speculating that the conspiracy between them and the King of Shu was not exposed!

Only a few core figures in the Fan family knew about this matter.

When the dozen or so heads of the Fan family read the news from Luoyang, their faces became solemn.

They knew that something big must have happened due to Patriarch Fan Zhou's behavior today, but they didn't expect it to be such a big thing.

Fan Yongdou's house was confiscated by the court for embezzling disaster relief funds.

But who would have thought that Fan Yongdou would be so bold as to rise up in the Jinluan Palace and assassinate the man in the palace.

This time, the Jiexiu Fan family was also brought into trouble.

"This Yongdou has always been prudent in his work. How could he be so ignorant this time that he dared to assassinate the man in the palace?"

"Doesn't he know the consequences of this?"

A person in charge, who was unaware of the plot between the Fan family and the King of Shu, said with an ugly face.

The other heads of the Fan family who didn't know about this also had gloomy faces.

In their view, Fan Yongdou's violent assassination had pushed their Jiexiu Fan family into an abyss.

Fan Zhou, who was sitting on the throne, glanced at the principals who were still unaware of the conspiracy between the Fan family and the King of Shu, and said, "There is something that I have not told you in order to keep it secret."

"Now that the one in the palace has decreed to kill my Jiexiu Fan family, then there is nothing to keep secret."

"My Fan family, as well as the Yuan family and the Zheng family, have secretly reached an agreement with the King of Shu..."

Fan Zhou told the story of the conspiracy between the three aristocratic families and the King of Shu.

It no longer matters to the Jiexiu Fan family whether this matter should be kept secret or not.

Anyway, the man in the palace has already decreed that he and the Jiexiu Fan family should be killed.

After hearing Fan Zhou's words, the faces of those in charge who didn't know about the matter turned pale.

They did not expect that Fan Zhou would keep them in the dark about such a major matter and did not discuss it with them.

Does this still take the various principals of the Fan family seriously?

Even though Fan Zhou is the patriarch of the Fan family, the Fan family is not the Fan family of Fan Zhou alone, but the Fan family of everyone in the Fan family.

However, it doesn't seem to matter what I say now.

The important thing is that the imperial court has issued an order to kill him and eliminate the Fan family.

He told the Fan family that they needed to think about what to do immediately.

Seeing the livid faces of the principals, Fan Zhou didn't pay attention and said directly in a deep voice: "You also know about this matter. Now the man in the palace has ordered me to kill the Fan family in Jiexiu."

"I tell you that the Fan family has reached a critical moment of life and death. Please tell me what you think."

"I guess the people from the imperial court are already on their way to Jiexiu."

"There is not much time left for my Fan family."

Fan Zhou looked at the dozen or so principals of the Fan family below with a solemn expression.

When the dozen or so heads of the Fan family heard this, their faces all became serious.

This is a matter of life and death for their entire Jiexiu Fan family, and it is not a matter for one person or one family.

If not done well, the Jiexiu Fan family will really disappear in the long river of history.

"Patriarch, now that things have reached this point, my Fan family has no choice."

"Do your best to help the King of Shu ascend to the throne."

"Only when the King of Shu comes to power can our Fan family have hope."

"Otherwise, our Fan family will follow in the footsteps of the Boling Cui family."

Before, the old man sitting on the left side who spoke first said with a solemn expression.

"That's right, patriarch."

"Now the man in the palace has decreed to kill my Jiexiu Fan family. Only by supporting the King of Shu to ascend to the throne can our Fan family have any chance of survival."

"However, our Fan family must also be prepared."

"Some of the younger members of the clan who can be sent out of the customs should be sent out secretly first!"

Another person in charge said with a cautious look.

The other heads of the Fan family also nodded in agreement.

Considering the current situation of the Fan family, this is the only way the Fan family can take.

That is to do our best to help the King of Shu ascend to the throne.

As long as the King of Shu comes to power, the Fan family still has hope.

Otherwise, the Jiexiu Fan family will really follow in the footsteps of the Boling Cui family.

Of course, unless the Fan family is willing to give up everything in the Great Zhou Dynasty and flee to the foreign land outside the customs, there is still hope.

But they introduced that the Fan family was one of the seven aristocratic families in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It had been passed down in the Great Zhou Dynasty for many years. Who would be willing to abandon all this and flee to the alien land outside the customs?

After hearing the words of these two principals and seeing that other principals of the Fan family also agreed, Fan Zhou, who was in charge, said with a serious face: "Since you all have this idea, let's discuss this in detail.

Let’s do something!”

"You are all the principals of the Fan family. Now our Fan family has reached a time of life and death."

"So, I don't want any of you to cause any harm to our clan at this time."

"Those of the younger generation within the clan who can be sent away will be immediately arranged to be sent out of the customs."

"Immediately mobilize all the forces outside the Fan family that can be mobilized, whether they are private soldiers or masters."

Fan Zhou looked at the dozen or so heads of the Fan family below and said one by one.

Rather than talking about it so much, it is better to say that Fan Zhou, the clan leader, is giving most of the orders.

…

Half an hour later.

More than a dozen heads of the Fan family left the meeting hall.

Only Fan Zhou, the patriarch of the Fan family, was left in the meeting hall.

Fan Zhou frowned and pondered for a moment, then said directly: "Immediately send someone to contact the Yuan family and the Zheng family, and tell them that the leader of the clan has something to do with them."

"Yes, Master."

A black shadow instantly disappeared into the meeting hall.

"Hope everything goes well!"

"The Fan family can survive this crisis."

After the black shadow left, Fan Zhou murmured to himself.

To be honest, Fan Zhou was not very sure about his conspiracy with the King of Shu.

If not, the Fan family had no choice, and Fan Zhou would never have conspired with the King of Shu to take this step.

Fan Zhou believes that the same is true for the Yuan family and the Zheng family.

The affairs of the Four Northwest Prefectures and Taishi Wen Zhong left them with no way out.

There is only one way to reach darkness.

It was really one wrong step, one wrong step after another.

No one expected that the man in the palace would not only fully recover, but also explode with powerful power. In one fell swoop, he eliminated General Wu Jin's relatives and his party, put down the rebellion in the four northern states, and annihilated the Huangtian Sect.

At this moment, all the plans of their wealthy family came to nothing.

"Master, the young master and the young master are back."

At this time, the housekeeper of Fan Mansion walked in with a anxious look and said.

"oh!"

Fan Zhou was shocked and said immediately.

"Let him in quickly."

"Yes, sir."

The butler responded and left.

After a moment, an embarrassed figure dressed in tatters walked into the meeting hall.

Who else could he be if he wasn't Fan Shaohe who escaped from Luoyang?

"The child has met his father."

As soon as Fan Shaohe walked in, he bowed to Fan Zhou who was sitting on the throne.

Fan Zhou saw that although Fan Shaohe was a little embarrassed, nothing happened, and nodded, "Just come back."

Before, Fan Zhou was still worried that if Fan Shaohe went to Luoyang, he would fall into the hands of the court like Fan Yongdou.

Unexpectedly, I am back safely now.

This can be regarded as letting Fan Zhou breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, Fan Shaohe is Fan Zhou's legitimate son.

As the patriarch of the Fan family, Fan Zhou considers the overall interests of the family, but he is also worried about the safety of his son.

It's just that it hasn't been revealed just now.

"Tell me about what happened in Luoyang, what exactly happened?" Fan Zhou looked at Fan Shaohe and said.

Although Fan Zhou has received the news from Luoyang, there are some things that the letter cannot explain clearly.

Now that Fan Shaohe is back, I can ask him carefully.

"Yes, dad." Fan Shaohe bowed.

…

Jiexiu Mansion, Fucheng.

The city gate is wide open.

Groups of neat private soldiers quickly entered the city.

The guards at the city gate did not stop him.

"What's going on? Why did so many troops enter the city?"

"These seem to be private soldiers of the Fan family. Why do the Fan family have so many private soldiers entering the city? What do they want to do?"

"It can't be that something big happened to the Fan family! Otherwise, why would the Fan family have so many private soldiers entering the city?"

The people around saw the Fan family's private soldiers entering the city in groups, and the city gate guards did not stop them.

The people all started talking quietly.

The city gates were under martial law, but the Fan family's private soldiers were allowed to enter the city, which made the people realize that something was wrong.

…

Government office.

An official in official uniform was immersed in handling some government affairs in the government office.

At this time, a palace guard wearing armor rushed in.

"Sir, it's not good. Many private soldiers from the Fan family have entered the city."

As soon as the palace guard ran in, he immediately said urgently.

What?

"Many private soldiers from the Fan family have entered the city?"

Upon hearing this, the official in official attire suddenly turned gloomy.

"Asshole, how did the Fan family's private soldiers enter the city?"

"Without my order, who would dare to order the Fan family's private soldiers to enter the city?"

Yes, this official in official uniform is the head of the Jiexiu Mansion, and he also comes from a wealthy family.

The Fan family is indeed very powerful in Jiexiu Mansion, but this does not mean that the government office of Jiexiu Mansion does not have its own voice.

"Sir, many of the generals among the city guards are from the Fan family or are related to the Fan family."

"Now these people have taken control of the city guards."

"Moreover, they arrested our people and others who opposed them."

The palace guard said hurriedly.

"What?"

"The Fan family controls the city guards and government soldiers?"

When the master of Jiexiu Mansion heard this, his expression immediately changed.

The city guards and government soldiers are all weapons and equipment of the government government, and are now controlled by the Fan family.

This shows what?

This shows that he, the head of the Jiexiu Mansion, has become a mere commander and a decoration.

"Damn."

"What exactly do the Fan family want to do?"

"Is it possible that the Fan family wants to rebel?"

The face of the master of Jiexiu Mansion was extremely ugly.

"Walk."

"I want to see what the Fan family wants to do?"

The master of Jiexiu Mansion stood up and walked directly outside.
