The north wind howled, the cold rain poured down, the red blood on the bluestone slab mixed with the rain, and it was quickly washed clean, only the faint bloody gas in the air indicated that there had just been a tragic battle, but it was soon blown away by the howling north wind without a trace.

"Hey, have you heard about the big thing that happened today?" The drunkard with good deeds whispered mysteriously to the general talk beside him.

"What's the matter?"

"Xu Laosan, did you really make your mother-in-law stupid?" The good thing drinker pointed to Guiyun Zhai and whispered: "That's it!" ”

Seeing that Xu Laosan still had a confused expression, the good drinker was angry at his stupidity, and said in a low voice: "It's just a matter of the battle between several major families at noon." ”

"Nonsense, you know a fart..."Another drinker said disdainfully: "What kind of big family fight is there, named because someone robbed the people's daughter, and someone helped when they saw injustice." ”

"Yes, yes, I see it. The two little ladies are really human characters, and if I can marry one person for something, then the real ancestors will bless it. ”

"Flutter~" Another young man sneered: "Old Niu, you dare to talk here, if your tigress hears it, I can dial your skin tonight~"

The man known as Lao Niu blushed and said angrily: "She dares, I Lao Niu said at home. Say no... Noji,,"

Everyone burst into laughter, everyone was next to each other, what did Lao Niu look like at home, everyone present was clear, watching Lao Niu forcibly justify, couldn't help laughing, and the topic just discussed was gradually forgotten.

For the people at the bottom of this society, the interesting things about food and clothing in the neighborhood are what they are most concerned about, and the rest of the things are just jokes after tea and dinner, although this kind of thing does not happen often, but it is also a lot, nothing unusual.

However, this time it seemed to be unexpected, and at this moment, a thunderclap suddenly sounded in the sky, followed by the sound of iron hooves on the long street.

The iron hooves struck on the bluestone pavement, making the sound of gold and stone, as if the thunder above the nine heavens was pierced in their hearts, and the drinkers near the window glanced out, but saw a group of cavalry wearing dark iron armor coming in an instant.

"Except for the liquor store staff, the rest of the people left immediately."

In the blink of an eye, the cavalry dismounted, poured into the wine shop like a wolf, and the leader of the Angzang military general, dressed in dark iron armor, with a steel spear in his hand, said to everyone with a cold expression.

"General, General...."The owner of the liquor store hurriedly ran forward and bowed his hand.

"A certain general Zhang Qu under the command of King Hongnong." Zhang Qu glanced at the owner of the wine shop murderously, glanced at everyone again, and said coldly: "A certain general was ordered to come and ask the shopkeeper to return to the yamen to assist in the investigation, and I hope that the shopkeeper will not make mistakes!" ”

"King Hongnon?"

The drinkers whispered, although everyone was a pawn of the peddler, but the name of the king of the Han Dynasty was still known, and they all thought of the battle in the daytime, I was afraid that the matter would be big, and they all left their seats and left the wine shop with a humble smile.

In an instant, the crowd had dispersed.

"General.. The general's villain is a small business, and a little respect is also asked to smile at the general." The shopkeeper smiled humbly, and at the same time handed over a small half-run copper coin in his hand.

In this era, copper coins were used as currency, although gold, silver, and silk were also currencies, but they were rarely circulated, and most of them were still copper coins as the main currency in circulation.

Zhang Qu glanced at the shopkeeper of the wine shop, he didn't look at the half-run copper coin in his hand, and said coldly: "I've got all your people!" The list of all the people in the liquor store is handed over, and if there is one person missing... Zhang doesn't mind killing! ”

"Yes, yes..."The shopkeeper nodded and agreed, he could see that the group in front of him was completely different from the original defenders of Huaixian County, and the strong killing intent just now almost made him pee his pants.

didn't care about anything else, called out the people of the liquor store in a panic, and were escorted away one by one.

On the other hand, Guiyunzhai, where the wine shop was opposite, Zhu Gui's family was also facing a team of murderous officers and soldiers, but the leading general was more polite to him, and only said that he would ask him to go alone to assist in the investigation...

。。。。。。

The weather at the end of October was already very cold, and the pouring rain was even more cold, and in the center of the lobby of the Taishou Mansion, two braziers burning with raging fires could not drive away the chill in the air.

The dark red [Red Dragon Suit] wrapped Liu Bian's whole body in armor, and Xu Huang, Yan Xing, Wang Kuang, Fang Yue and others stood behind Liu Bian, and the air seemed so heavy and overwhelming that people couldn't breathe.

Liu Wei looked at the raging fire coldly, the death of the second son made him more aware that there is no name for the king of Hongnong, and it is useless, only with the means of strong soldiers and iron blood, can these bold families be truly suppressed.

There is no doubt that although he doesn't know who the murderer is, he can't escape the wealthy families who are working against Wang Kuang. And if you want to move these people, you must get Wang Kuang's sincere support, otherwise with the only 400 soldiers in his hands, he will definitely not be the opponent of the wealthy families in Huaixian County.

However, looking at the cold word displayed in Wang Kuang's attribute panel, it was obvious that Wang Kuang did not really intend to support him completely, and he had to find a way to completely subdue Wang Kuang.

"Step~Step~Step~" Heavy footsteps sounded, but it was Xu Sheng who strode over, didn't care about wiping the rain off his face, and came to Liu Wei and said softly: "Your Highness, I have found out, it's ....."

"Well, okay, Lone knows." With Xu Sheng's explanation, Liu Wei bowed his head slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "If the order goes down, all the irrelevant personnel have been released." ”

"No!"

"Wait~" Liu Wei stopped Xu Sheng, who was retreating, thought about it and said: "Guiyunzhai shopkeeper Zhu Gui is a talent, check it thoroughly, if there is no problem, recruit it." ”

Xu Sheng hugged his fists and said, "The last general will obey the order." ”

"Your Highness...."Wang Kuang was about to speak, Liu Wei waved his hand, and then said to Fang Yue and Han Hao: "It's hard to return to Zhi and Yuan Hei tonight, and Gu has already instructed Gongming to treat Gu Xie Er and others." ”

"Don't dare, this is within my boundaries, how dare I have His Royal Highness Lao's reward." Fang Yue, Han Hao and the others looked at Liu Wei, then at Wang Kuang, and said with their fists clenched: "Your Highness, if there is nothing important, we should retire first." ”

"Go ahead." Liu Wei bowed his head slightly, looked at the back of Fang Yue and the others leaving, and gradually faded the smile on his face, and replaced it with a cold and terrifying face.

Xu Sheng's report just now confirmed his previous guess, and sure enough, it was the wealthy families who did not deal with Wang Kuang, the Wang family, the Zhao family, and the Xu family were the leading wealthy families in Huaixian County, and the three families participated in this battle, and the leader was Wang Yang, who left during the banquet, and as for the remaining families, they were just small families, which were not worth mentioning.

However, how to kill the Wang, Zhao, and Xu families is a headache, and it is a headache to directly send troops to forcibly slaughter them, which is refreshing, but once the reputation of slaughtering the warrior clan without authorization spreads, his reputation will be over.

Although Liu Wei is not from this world, Liu Wei also clearly understands that this era belongs to the era of the Gate Lords clan, and the Gate Lords clan is an extremely large group, big enough to shake the ability of the imperial power, not to mention that he is just a waste emperor at present.

Even when Emperor Ling was alive, he was in power, wasn't it because of the huge power of the He family behind him, and he was hesitant about who would be the crown prince between himself and Liu Xie?

Of course, in the end, although the struggle between the imperial power and the wealthy family ended with the He family winning, the head of the He family, He Jin, played a stinky move, which caused the entire He family to be wiped out, and he also fell to the bottom from the top of 10,000 people.

So if you want to kill this Xie family, you have to find another way.
