Ziyan, who was in Xinzhou, received a secret edict from Dugu Meier, asking him to try his best to win over Wang Yan, and if he couldn't win over, he would be wiped out.

Compared with co-opting, Ziyan prefers to control, pinching people in the palm of his hand is the safest way to win, as for obliteration, Ziyan feels that he will not easily do it to Wang Yan until the end, Wang Yan's strength Ziyan understands very clearly, unless he uses a strategy and fights head-on, he has no subordinates who can defeat him.

Speaking of control, as early as when he sent superstition to the capital, he had already begun to arrange the arrangement for Wang Yan, there are many ways to control a person, but they are all the same, in the final analysis, it is a threat, and the threat can be divided into two kinds, direct threat and indirect threat, people live in the world, two things are the most important, one is life, the other is name, and the direct threat is to threaten each other with life and name! In order to achieve the purpose of controlling people, especially to threaten with reputation, it is best used for those scholars who come out of big families and those who are famous Confucians.

Ziyan once set up a bureau to order a famous Confucian to obey*, tarnishing a girl's innocence, and then Ziyan caught the Confucian in bed, and then the Confucian became a pawn of Ziyan and even the Moon Palace, this method Ziyan can't remember how many times he has used it.

People are selfish, and direct threats are often the safest way.

But here in Wang Yan, Ziyan hesitated, she secretly observed Wang Yan for a long time, and even followed all the way to the north, through observation, Ziyan came to a conclusion, direct threats are not suitable for Wang Yan, not to mention that he is strong in martial arts, and it is difficult for others to approach, it can be seen from his actions that he often values others more than himself, the Yellow River burst, Ziyan watched with a telescope at a high place, and when he saw the flood coming, Wang Yan not only did not run away directly, but rushed to the second daughter behind him, and protected the two with his body, Ziyan was very surprised when he saw it, Wang Yan's behavior exceeded her estimates, and when he encountered danger, he seemed to be accustomed to protecting others first, and he didn't seem to care too much about his reputation, and it was very clear in the information that a year ago, Wang Yan was a well-known scourge in Xinzhou.

A person who regards the people around him as more important than himself, indirect threats are the means to control him, as for the methods, there are countless of them, fornicating with the White Lotus is a big crime that can punish him for the nine clans! Even if he is the general of Tiance, fornicating with the White Lotus is a big crime that can put him to death!

Ziyan has already found out Bai Jingyao's identity, the master of the Yin Gate of the White Lotus Sect, such a White Lotus thief is Wang Yan's concubine, and he dares to say that he has nothing to do with the White Lotus Sect? Even if it's true, who believes it?

Ziyan had already decided to use this matter to threaten Wang Yan, but a few days ago, news came back that Bai Jingyao and the others had left Yuanyang County.

Bai Jingyao left, Ziyan had to find another way, after knowing that the master of Wufeng Pavilion used a woman to coerce Wang Yan, Ziyan hit the idea on Wang Yan's woman, wanting to kidnap one in his hand to control Wang Yan, Ziyan planned to send someone to sneak into the palace to catch one out, but none of the good hands sent out came back, and there was no news about the connection, as if it had evaporated from the world.

Ziyan smelled the danger from it, the people who acted this time are all veterans, and they should be foolproof, but now they are all gone, they are either dead or captured alive, in short, there should be no escape, otherwise even if there is only one breath left, they will come back and return to their lives, no one has come back now, and the matter is already very clear.

Ziyan did not come to the scene in person for this operation, so it is not clear how the operation failed, could it be that the palace is hiding a dragon and a crouching tiger, and all the people who sneaked in were arrested? Ziyan felt that this guess was a little funny, those people who infiltrated the palace were all second-grade general-level masters, and with them, even the lord-level masters were difficult to parry, and the head of the palace was a martial artist who could fight some, and he didn't dare to say anything about it, how could he be able to defeat those masters under him? Even if there are still masters in the palace that they don't know, and they are all arrested, the people who are guarding outside to answer should not have an accident, after all, they are all good at concealment, and it is not easy to find them, only those who are good at hiding can catch them, that kind of person will never appear in the Shangjia family, and they have long been co-opted by the major forces.

Most of this matter has nothing to do with the palace, judging from the information, the palace is just a rich family, nothing more.

At present, there are many forces that pay attention to Wang Yan, and the forces that are the number one in Daliang are all installed in Yuanyang County, and most of the people he sent out have been wiped out by the powerful forces in it.

The White House family is one of the forces that have the ability to exterminate their own people, in terms of concealment, there are very few people in the world who can compete with Bai Gongyu, if Bai Gongyu comes with his White Palace Yuwei, his own people do have the possibility of being exposed.

In any case, Ziyan felt that the people he sent out would definitely not be able to come back, no matter which side of the force, after learning the identity of his subordinates, it was the safest only to kill them, at least if he changed himself, he would definitely kill them, if there were enemies nearby, he would use them to set up a blame, and the effect would definitely be good.

Ziyan looked at the secret edict and sighed again, this time the incident failed, his vitality was greatly damaged, half of the people were put in, the capable old man was almost completely damaged, and now the ability of the remaining people is not enough to carry out big things.

Ziyan plans to observe for a while, Wang Yan will go to Beijing to study at the National Military Academy after the New Year, and entering the National Military Academy is equivalent to entering the camp of the royalist party, those who do not want Wang Yan to join the royalist party will inevitably take action before Wang Yan goes to Beijing, and all he can do now is wait.

..

In the dark room, there is only one oil lamp, and the flames jump on the lamp, although the light is dim, it can illuminate the outline of everything in the room.

There was a row of people hanging on the wall, all of them were pierced by iron hooks and hung on the wall, the people had become bloody people, the walls and the ground were splashed with blood, some were dry, some were not dried, and the bloody atmosphere was disgusting.

There was a knock at the door in the darkness, and a fat man in an iron mask stepped out of the darkness and glanced at the wall, and a laugh came from under the mask.

"How long has it been, two more have died, it seems that I will be able to clean up the corpses at the next point, Old Ghost Yan, they have already explained the location of that person, why don't you give them a good time?"

"It is not a pity for the betrayer to die." The old man in the mask standing in front of everyone said coldly.

"Haha, then what nonsense did you just say about telling the truth and letting them live, aren't you lying to them?" The fat old man thief laughed.

"I said that, but I didn't say what I could do with my life."

"I knew you'd say that, but these people do have a way to die." The fat old man glanced at the only man on the wall who was panting and smiled. "If they disappear, the leader will definitely change places and hide, knowing this, they will expose the location without scruples, and it is not a pity to die."
