Chapter 807: Fanning the Flames
"Master, there are many officials and soldiers from the house, and they have blocked the gate, only entering and leaving, and the small ones have also come to pass the word to the master after getting their permission." An old man in a green shirt in his early fifties gasped slightly, a faint flush appeared on his face, and he ran to an old man in brocade in his early fifties, bowed his head slightly, and whispered.
"Steward Dong, this is impossible." An old man in black who was in his sixties next to the old man in brocade heard the words of the old man in green shirt, with a trace of doubt in his eyes, and before the old man in brocade could speak, he preemptively said.
"Master Xu, such an important matter, how dare the little one talk nonsense, the little one has no other strengths on weekdays, that is, he runs back fast, and the master's house is relatively close to here, so the little one arrives." A look of innocence appeared on the face of the old man in green shirts, and he said loudly.
"The old man is very strange, who dares to besiege Lingfu in Xiangzhou Mansion, who in the entire Xiangzhou Mansion does not know that although Brother Ling is not very in charge, he is the first person in Xiangzhou Mansion worthy of the name, and Brother Ling is the leader of all forces in Xiangzhou Mansion." The eyes of the old man in black, Master Xu, showed a trace of doubt, and he didn't believe that anyone in Xiangzhou Mansion would dare to besiege the mansion of the old man in brocade.
"Master, master, something is wrong." As soon as Master Xu's words fell, a young man in Tsing Yi in his early twenties rushed all the way, and the moment he saw Master Xu, a look of grievance flashed in the eyes of the young man in Tsing Yi, and he said with a slight pant.
"I said Xiaodongzi, what is so flustered, the master has always taught you to keep a calm heart at all times, what kind of system is so flustered." A touch of unhappiness flashed in Master Xu's eyes, and Xiao Dongzi's performance really made him a little embarrassed in front of Master Ling.
"Master, there are many officials and soldiers in the mansion, and the mansion is surrounded by water, and no one is allowed to enter and leave at will, and the small ones can come and let the little ones come to pass the word to the master." Xiao Dongzi's face was filled with panic, although the strength of the Syrian Mansion in Xiangzhou Mansion was not the top existence, but it was also a stomp on his feet, and the Xiangzhou Mansion also had to shake the existence, the Xiang Prefecture army had always been respectful to the Syrian Mansion, when was it so arrogant to besiege the Syrian Mansion.
"What, the house is also besieged by the official army?" When Master Xu heard Xiao Dongzi's words, his eyes showed a touch of shock.
"Brother Xu, it seems that my mausoleum is not surrounded by officials and soldiers." There was a hint of contemplation and shock in the eyes of the old man in brocade, who dared to be so bold in Xiangzhou Mansion, Chen Zhian and Gu Chaoru were here, and the people below did not have the courage to besiege Lingfu and Xufu. Could it be that the remnants of the White Lotus Sect pretended to be officials and wanted to extort some money?
No, even if the people of the White Lotus Sect can lurk in the city of Xiangzhou Mansion, it is impossible for there to be so many people, the officials and troops besieging Lingfu and Xufu should be real, and the people of the Xiang Army do not have the courage, only Shen Yan's people.
However, how could Shen Yan's people enter Xiangzhou Mansion?
Shen Yan was able to enter Xiangzhou Mansion because of Shen Yan's skills, but it was impossible for all of Shen Yan's people to have Shen Yan's skills.
"Brother Ling, could it be Shen Yan's person?" Master Xu also seemed to have thought of this possibility, with a look of uncertainty in his eyes, he met Master Ling's somewhat contemplative gaze and said slowly.
"It seems that Brother Xu has also thought of it." Hearing Master Xu's words, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Master Ling's mouth, and behind the smile was a trace of doubt.
"Brother Xu may have thought of how Shen Yan's people entered Xiangzhou Mansion?" Although Master Xu's strength is not the strongest in Xiangzhou Mansion, Master Xu's wisdom is well-known in this circle, so Master Ling will ask him.
"Brother Ling, could it be that Shen Yan's people bought the Xiangzhou Mansion Shoucheng Gate early in the morning, so they could enter the Xiangzhou Mansion." A faint contemplation flashed in Master Xu's eyes, and he seemed to feel that Shen Yan could only enter Xiangzhou Mansion in this way.
"Lord Shen, the Imperial Mansion and the Lingfu are besieged by the official army, is it from your masterpiece?" A faint contemplation flashed in Master Xu's eyes, and then he showed a determined look, glanced at Shen Yan, and said loudly.
"Master Xu really deserves to be the smartest of the local forces in Xiangzhou Mansion." Hearing Master Xu's words, a hearty smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and he didn't seem to take the siege of the Xufu and the Lingfu seriously at all.
"Lord Shen, you are so bold, Master Ling and Master Xu are the two most responsible and representative squires of my Xiangzhou Mansion, even the official must be full of respect for these two in his daily life, and he must consult the two of them more on some local matters, so that the official can make the clearest choice from it, but Lord Shen is good, as soon as he entered the Xiangzhou Mansion, he sent troops to surround the mansion of these two, and the official has to say a word of admiration for Lord Shen's bold approach, but I also want to say a word, Lord Shen, you are too Meng Lang." Hearing Shen Yan decisively admit that he had sent troops to surround the Lingfu and the Xufu, although a touch of surprise flashed in Gu Chaoru's eyes, surprised how Shen Yan's soldiers entered the Xiangzhou Mansion, but compared to surprise, Gu Chaoru was more excited.
Shen Yan's impulsive behavior will obviously offend Master Ling and Master Xu to the end, any outsider who wants to gain a foothold in Xiangzhou Mansion cannot do without the support of these two, and he was able to quickly gain a foothold in Xiangzhou Mansion because he found these two and secretly promised many benefits. But Shen Yan's approach is completely contrary, and this approach will only make Master Ling and Master Xu resentful of Shen Yan even more.
"It is indeed a common method of governing the local government by asking the squires, however, not all the squires have the courage and ability to find the right choice from these squires, and not all squires can devote themselves to the court." Hearing Gu Chaoru's words, an indifferent smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, he didn't take Gu Chaoru's fanning words to heart at all, if he was worried about the retaliation of these two, then he would not have sent Fang Butong to lead the special operations team to besiege these two.
Everyone has their own way of dealing with it, others may think of stammering and letting these two people bully their heads, but Shen Yan will not make this choice, not that Shen Yan is high, not that Shen Yan is ignorant of lifting, and not that Shen Yan is arrogant, but the existence of Master Ling and Master Xu will definitely affect Shen Yan's overall layout and interests, since they are destined to become opponents, then why should they be so fake from the beginning
To deal with arrogant people like Master Ling and Master Xu, maybe the most direct way will have a different effect.
"Whether Master Ling and Master Xu are dedicated to the imperial court, the official does not know, and the official does not want to know, the official now wants the Royal Army of Great Xia to enter the Xiangzhou Mansion to rest, but again and again suffered from the refusal to shirk, the official really can't figure out that the officials of the court of the Xiangzhou Mansion will be swayed by the local strength, since this is the case, the official will come to cut these thorns, and the Xiangzhou Mansion will be clean." Shen Yan's eyes glanced at Master Ling and Master Xu without the slightest emotion, and said indifferently.
"This official said before that he would wash the Xiangzhou Mansion in blood, and this is not a threat or a joke."
