Chapter 211: Convey the decree and settle the dispute
The Zhao family, a wealthy merchant in Weicheng, Handan County, received help from the Jia family, a powerful person in the imperial capital, and organized family servants to fight against Wang Mang's raid and rebellion against the law.
At this moment, the two sides are fighting to the death, which is extremely tragic and has suffered heavy casualties.
Wei Yuanjie, the city lord of Wei City who was standing next to Wang Mang, saw this scene, his calves were trembling, and his whole body was in a cold sweat.
Wang Mang stood outside to preside over the overall situation, although he had the intention to avoid the expansion of casualties, but at this moment he had no good way.
Sometimes, when you do something big, you have to shed blood.
Without sacrifice, then there is no hope.
In the current situation, even if the wealthy businessman Zhao family wants to stop, the Jia family will not stop.
They have already made their attitude clear, and they have to take advantage of Wang Mang's unstable foothold and undecided foundation to attack Wang Mang from all sides, and not allow Wang Mang to gain a foothold in Qingzhou. Not to mention the one who came to help, as well as the Golden Sword Ji Yun.
This person bewitched Wei Jianyin seven years ago to calculate Shangguan Ningxuan and sent someone to assassinate Wang Mang and Wang Jingyan. Later, this ploy was discovered by Wang Mang, which made him fall short.
Therefore, he hated Wang Mang in his heart, and he had to kill Wang Mang.
In addition, Wang Mang and Shangguan Ningxuan have a very close relationship, hooking up and partnering, and he is determined to marry Shangguan Ningxuan. Under such contradictions, one of the two sides must die before the matter can be concluded.
Although Ji Yun's martial arts were high and his sword was sharp, he was blocked by Li Hanfeng. Therefore, he saw that his side was invincible to Wang Mang, but there was no way to withdraw to help.
"Ahhh Ji Yun roared angrily.
Although the life and death of this Zhao family has little to do with his Ji family, it has something to do with him.
After all, he wants to protect the Zhao family, if he can't keep it, and the Zhao family is copied, then he will also lose a certain amount of face and prestige.
Originally, it was nothing to lose some face and prestige, after all, as long as it was an individual, there would be a day when it would lose face.
However, he didn't want to lose face in front of Wang Mang, which was something he couldn't tolerate.
If the matter spreads, maybe it will make Shangguan Ningxuan look down on it. In this way, he had no hope of making Shangguan Ningxuan turn back.
In his opinion, it would be best if he could get Shangguan Ningxuan's favor. If you can't get it, then you can only settle for the next best thing, as long as you get her body.
Right now, he thinks that his Ji family is strong, his background is sufficient, and he himself is strong in martial arts, and he is a handsome man. Therefore, he still has a certain degree of confidence and can get Shangguan Ningxuan's favor.
Wang Mang heard Ji Yun's roar and said disdainfully: "Ji Yun, what are you?" Are you qualified to talk to me about it? Not only will I copy the Zhao family today, but I will also destroy your Ji family in the future.
As for you, I will arrest you and castrate you, and Ling Chi will be executed. Back then, my wife Jingyan and I were attacked and killed by the killers you sent, and our lives hung by a thread, and my sister-in-law Ning Xuan was also poisoned with arrows, and I still remember these things. ”
"Bastard, Ben Shao wants you to die." Ji Yun roared angrily, his eyes were red, and he was about to kill Wang Mang with his sword.
Li Hanfeng sneered, his body flashed, he found a flaw, and slashed at Ji Yun's back with a backhand sword.
"Little doll, fighting against the old man, do you dare to distract him? Are you an old man a decoration? When the old man ruled the world back then, you were still spinning in your mother's womb. ”
"Flutter!"
Li Hanfeng's sword is very tricky, and it is impossible to guard against.
Ji Yun was unprepared for a while, and was slashed by a sword, bleeding non-stop, and injured a lot.
He was against a great master like Li Hanfeng, if it weren't for some good hands next to him to help him, I am afraid that he would have died in the hands of Li Hanfeng.
Now he was still distracted, so it was naturally difficult for him to guard against Li Hanfeng's sword moves.
At the moment, he didn't die with a sword in his body, it was purely because a dead man blocked a move for him at a critical moment, and he leaked all the power of Li Hanfeng's sword.
The master is not careless at all against the enemy, and he must concentrate all his energy to fight, otherwise he will definitely die.
"Damn old thing..."Ji Yun couldn't, so he had to endure the severe pain, turned around again, concentrated, cooperated with the dead master on the side, and concentrated on dealing with Li Hanfeng.
This battle lasted for more than two hours, and the two sides were still in a stalemate.
So far, more than half of the more than 1,000 people on the Zhao family's side have lost, and Wang Mang's side has also lost five or six hundred.
When Wang Mang was about to give the order for a general attack, a person suddenly rushed in the distance.
This person is Qiu Tong, at this moment she is wearing a palace maid's costume and riding a horse, and she came to the field of the battle between the two sides, and shouted coquettishly: "Stop, the queen has a will." ”
When Wang Mang saw the comer, he was stunned, and then ordered the officials to stop.
He thought about it for a while, and saw that this order was given by Wei Ziyao, so he said to the ground: "The lower official will meet Niangniang, Niangniang Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose." ”
"Lord Wang is exempt!"
Qiu Tong did not dismount, but spread out the edict issued by Empress Wei Ziyao, and shouted expressionlessly: "Fengtian carrier, Niangniang's edict." The palace heard that King Wu of Ning, the general of the Ministry of Households, Shangshu Wang Mang, aimed to investigate the taxes in Weicheng and avenge the people, which was very meritorious. However, the profiteer Zhao family ignored the law and obstructed it, resulting in a tragedy, and the people suffered and their lives were miserable.
His Majesty has every opportunity, worked hard, and the dragon's body is not safe, so he specially authorized the palace to take care of this matter. Now the Zhao family confronted the imperial court for no reason and killed the government personnel, which is a major crime of disobedience and should be beheaded according to the law. As for the rest of the people who did not know right and wrong before, and were bewitched by the Zhao family, this palace will not pursue them for the time being. You can leave as soon as possible, and you must not commit it again in the future, and the offender will be punished for several crimes.
It is hereby decreed that this case will be handled by Wang Mang with full authority for the time being, and no one shall obstruct it, and no one shall oppose Wang Mang in investigating and handling the case, and the offender shall be punished for the crime of plotting against and defrauding the king. ”
After Qiu Tong finished reading the decree, he turned over and dismounted, came to Wang Mang, stuck out his tongue and said, "Young Master Wang, take the decree!" ”
Wang Mang replied: "Niang Niang Chitose, Weichen is in charge!" ”
After speaking, he asked again: "Qiu Tong, how did this mother get involved?" Isn't she too troublesome? ”
Qiu Tong replied: "Your Majesty is not good at interfering in this matter, and it is Your Majesty who asked Niang Niang to pass on the decree." Second, you know what the mother means. ”
Hearing this, Wang Mang was a little weak-hearted, and didn't dare to say more, so he turned his head to Jia Fengxin and shouted: "Niang Niang Yizhi has already made it very clear, this case is handled by this official with full authority, and no one can interfere with it." Are you going to have to fight against me now? If you want to continue to resist the decree and disrespect, then don't blame the official for the crime of rebellion, mobilize the forbidden army and my Liaoning army to exterminate your Jia family. ”
After speaking, he said to Mrs. Zhao again: "Old thing, you don't want this official to give you face before, you have to kill yourself." Now it's okay, Niang Niang Yi has an order, your Zhao family has committed the crime of disobedience, and you should be beheaded according to the law, and you still don't let people stop? Do you want to be exterminated? ”
