Chapter 43: The Seven Great Forces

It turned out that since the Feng family's lineage was wiped out by the enemy, the branch of the Feng family began to stir up trouble, and it can be said that they fought for the Feng family's property.

The Feng family has been operating in Lingnan for a hundred years, with a profound heritage and countless resources. But now that the main vein has been wiped out, the resources have naturally fallen into the hands of the branch, which was originally nothing, there is no one in the lineage, and the branch inherits the original industry, and no one else can say anything.

It's a pity that people's hearts will not be satisfied, and some branches are not only not satisfied, but more and more greedy after tasting the sweetness, and they actually set their sights on the same clan that has allocated resources to others, so the fight arises, the Feng family falls apart, and Lingnan is in chaos.

The Lingnan turmoil caused by the Feng family made some outsiders also have different thoughts, especially the miserable little family that was oppressed by the Feng family on weekdays, and when they saw that the Feng family was split at this time, they naturally would not let go of this opportunity for revenge. Coupled with some families who want to be the second Feng family and the barbarians who are not willing to be lonely, the whole Lingnan is completely chaotic, and sometimes there will be fights on the streets in broad daylight, and the whole Lingnan is made into a miasma by them, and the common people don't even dare to go out easily.

"Don't you care about the head of the march on Lingnan Road? What does Liu Hongji eat? Li Zhen asked, Liu Hongji was a famous minister in the early Tang Dynasty, and since Feng Ang was killed, Li Shimin sent him over as the new chief manager - history is completely messed up.

"It's none of the business." Xu Daoshen shook his head and said: "The whole of Lingnan is in chaos, and these people have not rebelled, it is a local political matter, and the army cannot be managed according to the law." What's more, although the general manager of Lingnan is Feng An, although he is dead, Yu Wei is still there, and the general manager Liu should still be rectifying military affairs now, and he can't do anything for a while. ”

"Go on."

"Yes, since the chaos in Lingnan......"

Lingnan is in turmoil, countless cows, ghosts, snakes and gods have come out, and various forces have risen and declined rapidly, but just like the Three Kingdoms period, there will always be some powerful characters.

For example, Feng Zhibao, Feng Gai and Feng Mian of the Feng family, these three people are the more prominent characters in the Feng family's branches, and they were suppressed miserably because of the suppression of the lineage, but since the lineage was killed, these three people have grown up rapidly, and they are considered representative figures of the Feng family, but the three of them work independently and do not cooperate, otherwise the forces formed may not be worse than the previous Feng family.

Another example is Wei Guangzhi, who was just a scholar before, working as a small clerk in Lianzhou, penniless. However, after the chaos in Lingnan, it rose rapidly and became a hegemon. According to everyone's speculation, there should be funding from the family behind this Wei Guangzhi, and it is very likely that it is the support of the seven clans and five surnames, otherwise even if he has the ability, he will not rise so fast.

Another example is the Ning family and the Chen family, these two are also a wealthy family in Lingnan, the Ning family is the leader of the Lingnan barbarians, and they began to rise in Lingnan from Ning Kui, among which the famous characters are Ning Mengli, Ning Changzhen and Ning Zhen, which can be called Lingnan heroes. The Chen family is similar, Chen Zhiluo is the general of Xiaoguowei of the Sui Dynasty, brave and brilliant, and after the Tang Dynasty, he was appointed as the head of the Lingnan Road march to pacify Lingnan.

Such a family is a wealthy family anywhere, but it is a pity that they ran into the Feng family, and under the suppression of the Feng family, they did not live well. Now that the Feng family has been wiped out, the two families have taken advantage of the situation and have the potential to replace the Feng family.

"Hmph, these giants are really unrepentant." Li Zhen snorted coldly, Xu Daoshen said that the six forces are all controlled by the family, and the only grassroots is still the family, these families are really tired and crooked.

Du He also frowned and asked, "Isn't there a force that is not controlled by the family?" ”

"Yes." Xu Daoshen said: "This is the last force, and it is also the most dangerous force in the eyes of the minister, even more dangerous than the previous six combined. ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. Li Zhen's attention was immediately attracted, and he wanted to know, what kind of force was even more dangerous than the six families?

"This force is the power of the barbarians, and the leader is called Zhechong, but he gave himself a Chinese name called Li Yuanhui, and he is the leader of a tribe in the Lingnan barbarians. He also took advantage of the Lingnan Rebellion to rise rapidly, and his popularity among the barbarians was unmatched for a while, and many barbarians followed him because of his prestige, and now he has subdued all the barbarian tribes in the surrounding thousands of miles of mountains. ”

"The reason why the minister said that Li Yuanhui was the biggest threat was because he was different from the rest of the family, the family only fought for interests, even if they used force, they only attacked each other, and rarely hurt the people. But Li Yuanhui was attacking the city and was invincible, and several county towns around his stronghold had been defeated by him and plundered, and the people in the city were slaughtered. ”

Li Zhen said coldly: "Why don't you report this kind of thing?" What does Liu Hongji eat? Allowing the barbarians to rebel? There is also the governor of Lingnan, can the struggle for power and profit be more important than the lives of his own people? ”

"This matter has only started in the last month, and the Yongzhou Thorn Mansion has already reported it, but it may be a long way away, and it has not been sent to Chang'an." Xu Daoshen shook his head and said: "As for the encirclement and suppression, there is no way to talk about it, the barbarians are treacherous, and the Lingnan state capitals have not been encircled and suppressed before, but once they can't do anything, the barbarians will retreat into the 100,000 mountains, and the army has no way to take them." ”

"That was before, and from today onwards, nothing like this will happen again." Li Zhen snorted coldly: "From today onwards, the barbarians will either go down the mountain and surrender, or they will be a slave for me, and build roads until death." ”

"......" Xu Daoshen looked at Li Zhen, and shook his head silently in his heart, he is another gentleman whose heart is higher than the sky, if the barbarians are really so easy to be exterminated, how can they survive to this day?

Li Zhen naturally saw the disbelief in Xu Daoshen's eyes, and waved his hand indifferently: "Don't talk about this, you go on, how did Shen Tingshi die?" ”

"yes, that's what I should say." Xu Daoshen was secretly ashamed, and was actually led away from the topic.

The current forces in Lingnan are divided into seven shares, and Shen Youqing died at the hands of Feng Gai of the Feng family. Feng Gai's hands are mainly the private soldiers left by the Feng clan before, so he is the strongest combat power among everyone.

However, there are pros and cons, Feng Gai only has so many resources of the Feng family, Feng Gai only has mastered the Feng family's private soldiers, and as we all know, raising soldiers is very expensive, but he has no way to make money. After spending all his money, he had no choice but to choose the easiest and fastest way to get money, that is, to rob.

I don't have money, but there are many rich people, and in just a few months, more than a dozen small families or wealthy families near Yuezhou have been wiped out. It's just that Feng Gai is very cunning, and he will hide his identity when he commits murder, so that everyone knows that he did the case, but unfortunately there is no evidence, but Shen Youqing is helpless against him.

However, there are accidents in everything, just a few days ago, things took a turn for the better, Feng Gai was leading people to rob a landlord's house, and was desperately resisted by the landlord's son, and in the battle, the identity card representing his Feng family's children was cut off, and was picked up by Shen Youqing, who later went to the scene to investigate the case.

However, Shen Youqing is also a fool, knowing that Feng Gai is an outlaw, not only did he not summon Feng Gai after picking up his identity card, but went directly to him to ask for the guilt, what is this not looking for death?

Feng Gai was originally an outlaw, and seeing that the matter was revealed at this time, how could he spare Shen Youqing? directly ordered someone to kill Shen Youqing and Yuezhou Beijia, and then threw them in front of the Assassin's Mansion.

"In other words, the evidence that originally appeared was picked up by Feng Gai again?" Hearing this, Li Zhen was also speechless, Shen Youqing, how did you achieve the position of assassin Shi?

"Yes, but everyone knows that Feng Gai did the thing." Xu Daoshen said sadly: "In the entire Yuezhou City, only Feng Gai has the ability to do this kind of thing. ”

"So what?" Du He said in a deep voice: "Now we pay attention to evidence in handling cases, and without evidence, what can you do with others?" Didn't you all have no way to take Feng Gai before because of this? ”

"That's why the minister asked to come to His Highness." Xu Daoshen said: "Please also ask Your Highness to call the shots, and return Lord Shen's innocence." ”

"You can rest assured." Li Zhen nodded and said, "As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, how could this king watch the imperial court officials die without caring about it?" As long as it's true, how can I not give him an explanation? ”

"Thank you, Your Highness." Xu Daoshen bowed deeply: "The minister will retire first." ”

I'm sorry, I was sick two days ago, and today I replied to the third watch, which is the first change.
