Chapter 334: Provoke people's hearts, the plan is revealed

Standing on the Bayong Tower, which is several feet high, Li Xuan pressed the handrail and looked far into the distance.

In front of you is the quiet Wujiang River, the blue sky, and the green mountains.

Raising your head slightly, you will see a high pavilion with double eaves, a hilly roof, and the corners of the wings are raised, and the stone swallows are about to fly.

His mood suddenly brightened.

Taking a gentle breath, Li Xuan turned around suddenly.

The golden robe with black background, the colorful silver headband, and the cold and upright figure make him look very noble.

With a sneer on his face, Li Xuan slowly walked into the main pavilion of Ba Yong Tower.

When he looked up, he saw several guards in different clothes rushing up from downstairs, quickly rushing to his master's side to inform them of what was happening outside.

The fighting that took place on the long street in the distance could not be hidden from these masters who were supported by various families.

What's more, the aristocratic families have their own way of doing things, and the surrounding long streets are under the surveillance of countless light and dark sentries.

Seeing Li Xuan walking in, the heads of the aristocratic families immediately waved their men to leave, then quickly stood up and raised their hands to Li Xuan at the same time: "I have met the prince of Nanchang and the prince Qianqiu!"

"Without courtesy, please take a seat." Li Xuan extended her hand with a gentle expression, and then took the lead to sit down in full view of everyone.

Then everyone else followed and sat down in their seats.

Watching everyone sit down, Li Xuan did not speak directly.

He first looked at everyone with a gentle but powerful look, then nodded slightly and said solemnly: "You must have received the message that there is an assassin intending to commit murder just two streets away from here. Two people

, have all been captured, and if nothing else happens, they are the murderers who assassinated Governor Wang two months ago."

"Ah!" The faces of everyone present were suddenly stunned, and then there was an uproar.

You know, those two assassins directly assassinated the assassin Wang Fanglin in full view of everyone two months ago.

In the end, Wang Fanglin was seriously injured and dying, Chief Shi Li Ai died on the spot, and countless soldiers and officials were killed and injured. But in the end, the two extremely brutal assassins escaped the pursuit of the officers and soldiers.

In the past two months, officers and soldiers made several searches, but found nothing, not even a trace or clue.

But today, they all died, all of a sudden.

Everyone found it hard to accept it for a moment, and in the uproar, they all looked at Li Xuan carefully.

When he looked up, he realized that Li Xuan was looking at everyone with a half-smile.

There was a deep coldness in his eyes, which seemed to engulf everyone.

The conversations among the people present gradually stopped under the cold eyes.

Li Xuan gently knocked on the table in front of her and said word by word: "Those two people have been executed now. No matter what disputes they had behind them, it is now over.

I have ordered people to pull carts through the streets all night long to tell the people of Wuzhou that with the concerted efforts of me and everyone else, the assassin who killed the king has been executed.

From now on, the people can be worry-free, you can be worry-free, and I, too, can be worry-free."

Li Xuan's last words were spoken very lowly.

His eyes swept across the faces of Shen Tuo, Teng Yu, Qian Zhe and others, and when he saw their expressions changing from surprise to horror, he nodded with satisfaction.

Behind the assassination of Wang Fanglin was a joint effort between the Wuzhou family and the Tianyin Sect.

But now, with the Tianyin Sect uprising imminent, Li Xuan can only choose to suppress the disputes behind her for the time being.

However, it is still necessary to take a closer look at these Wuzhou aristocratic families.

"Everyone." Li Xuan's face suddenly became serious, and he said with cold eyes: "I have been ordered by the sage Tianhou and the central ministers to come to Wuzhou to serve as a special agent, assist the governor, determine the state affairs, and sort out the affairs of the state. Although it is my responsibility to pay taxes and finally deliver the city of God, it also requires your full help."

"You must live up to your responsibilities as an official." Everyone present immediately stood up, bowed their hands in salute, and looked solemn.

Li Xuan smiled softly, waved his hand, and motioned for everyone to sit down, and said at the same time: "Everyone, please sit down. This king is not reading an imperial edict. His Majesty and the Queen are just giving these words to me, so you don't have to worry about it. "

"Don't you dare!" Shen Tuo, Zhang Yi, and everyone behind them stood up at the same time, bowing their hands in a respectful manner.

Although the southeast is prosperous, it is far from the center.

Even if there are people serving in the central government, their powers and responsibilities cannot be compared with those of the ministers.

Not to mention, Wuzhou is not an important town in the southeast either.

Compared with Suzhou, Hangzhou and Yuezhou, Wuzhou can only be regarded as a slightly inferior prefecture and county.

"Okay, let's not talk about the center." Li Xuan waved her hand, then looked at Shen Tuo on one side, and said gently: "Old Shen, please take a seat. When I passed by Changzhou before, thanks to Governor Shen's introduction to Wuzhou in detail, Otherwise, it would be difficult for me to achieve anything in just a few days. I would like to thank Governor Shen and Mr. Shen for taking care of me."

"I don't dare, I'm ashamed of myself." Shen Tuo's expression changed slightly and he quickly handed over his hand again.

In a panic, Shen Tuo glanced at the others present from the corner of his eyes, especially Teng Yu and Qian Zhe.

The way they looked at him was somewhat different.

The Shen family is the largest family in the local area and the most powerful in the officialdom. It is the only family in the local dynasty that has a serving governor.

When Li Xuan first came to Wuzhou, he took out a letter written by Shen Qian, the governor of Changzhou, and Shen Tuo accepted it without any hesitation.

The Shen family has a close relationship with the King of Nanchang, and everyone present has seen it before.

Does this mean that everything the King of Nanchang did in Wuzhou in the past few days, whether it was checking the soldiers, issuing bans, or recruiting orders, was all supported by the Shen family?

There is also the sudden assassination incident today. They suddenly failed in the assassination and were killed. Is it also related to the Shen family?

At this moment, more doubts about the assassination appeared in everyone's minds.

The King of Nanchang is clearly in the Bayong Tower, so why would those assassins go to other places to assassinate him?

The place is wrong, and the time is also wrong.

Who is being deceived here, and who is being deceived?

Teng Yu and Qian Zhe looked at Shen Tuo with cold eyes.

Shen Tuo saw everything in front of his eyes, but felt a little bitter in his heart.

He is also an old fox. Of course he knows what these people are thinking.

But he didn't expect that the King of Nanchang had already led him into the trap with just a few words.

Now he already understands that the reason why King Nanchang returned Shen Qian's letter so easily that day at the city gate was for today.

What a calculation!

"Shen Weng, please sit down!" Li Xuan stretched out his hand to signal Shen Tuo to sit down, and then his eyes turned to Teng Yu again: "Teng Jiaoyu!"

"I'm here!" Teng Yu immediately bowed his hands and saluted with a solemn look on his face.

Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction and said: "When I received the order to serve in Wuzhou, I was already in Luoyang and had no time to rush to Chang'an. However, I still wrote a letter and asked someone to bring Tengji wine to the Imperial Academy.

Jiu also wrote a reply very politely and asked me to forward it to you."

As she said that, Li Xuan turned her head and looked aside.

Li Zhu, wearing a black patternless robe, walked out from one side, holding a letter in his hand, and walked step by step to Teng Yu.

Teng Yu didn't even need to open it to read it. Just by looking at the handwriting on it, he knew it was definitely written by his brother.

Teng Yu opened the letter with a cautious expression. The content of the letter was very simple. He asked the Teng family to try their best to assist the King of Nanchang in governing Wuzhou and not to neglect it.

If you just look at this letter, it is just a simple official letter, but Teng Yu's eyes glanced at the wary expressions on the other people's faces, and he immediately knew that the others had misunderstood.

Raising his head and looking at Li Xuan, Teng Yu's expression remained unchanged, and Zhuang Su held his hand: "Xia Guan will be in Dingyou in Wuzhou for one more year. Your Majesty has a destiny, and I will do my best to help you."

Li Xuan smiled and nodded, and said gently: "I still have some friendship with Pei Gong, the governor of Xuanzhou. When did Teng Jiaoyu want to return to Xuanzhou? Tell me, although my face is useless, but

It is still possible to write a letter to Duke Pei."

Li Xuan has a good relationship with the Pei family, and he was the one who could solve the murder case of Luoyang County Lieutenant Pei Qizhe.

Not to mention, he personally saved Pei Sitong.

The relationship with Li Hong's Crown Princess Pei is also pretty good.

I wrote a letter to Pei Huanzhi, the governor of Xuanzhou, and asked him to help me with a little help.

Teng Yu didn't care how important Li Xuan was to Pei Huanzhi, his expression became solemn.

What he was really afraid of was Li Xuan's style of doing everything in his head and calculating everything down to his bones.

Silently, your way forward and your way out have been completely controlled by him.

"If necessary, I will definitely trouble the prince." Teng Yu handed him over with an extremely solemn word.

He has no choice.

Li Xuan stretched out her hand and said with a smile: "Teng Jiaoyu, please sit down."

Teng Yu sat down, and Li Xuan's eyes slowly fell on Qian Zhe.

Qian Zhe quickly bowed and said: "Qian is greedy and has done everything wrong. I hope the prince can forgive me."

Li Xuan smiled lightly and shook her head, and said casually: "The Qian family is a rich family after all, and it is also the family of the wife of Brother Yue Wang. How can I be so careless about it?"
