Chapter 265 Do not admit defeat and do not admit mistakes
The cultivators went as promised, as if they had lost their rabbits.
Fang Dawei stood on the steps and did not move like a mountain.
The officers and soldiers had already surrounded the mansion, and Fang Dawei still didn't know why the assassin suddenly turned his face and didn't recognize anyone. and mobilized all the elite forces of a state government to besiege the Fang family's mansion in the middle of the night. It's as if the other party knows tonight that they have a grudge against their father.
Fang Dawei couldn't help but be surprised, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
Prior to this, the Fang family and the Thorn Mansion have always gotten along happily, and the Fang family will pay a certain amount of tribute to the Thorn Mansion every year.
It can be said unceremoniously that the important officials of the entire Yunzhou officialdom are all raised by the Fang family, and the silver they take from the Fang family every year is at least ten times that of their money!
Relying on the Fang family, the biggest hero in Yunzhou, these officials in Yunzhou officialdom can eat their brains one by one, have beautiful wives and concubines, and spend a lot of money in the wind and snow.
But now, these Yunzhou officials actually want to betray the Fang family and meet their food and clothing parents!
Fang Dawei's biggest feeling is that he has raised a group of white-eyed wolves.
He was angry, angry, angry of renunciation.
He can't wait to eat Jia Su's meat and sleep Jia Su's skin!
But Fang Dawei was angry, but also very calm, very calm. Although the Assassin's move tonight was unexpected, it may not have been cleaned up. The two sides have colluding interests, and since they are united in interests, they may be divided because of their interests.
As long as people don't talk about feelings, then any behavior can be reasonable.
The question is only why Jia Su turned his back on the Fang family. If it is because of interests, what can he get by betraying the Fang family? What an official wants to pursue most is nothing more than two words, power and money. Money, the Fang family has already given enough, Fang Dawei thinks that no one can give more than the Fang family, so the answer can only be right.
The right is divided into two aspects, the upward right and the downward right. The former can make Jia Su's official position higher, and the latter may make Jia Su's black hat unsafe. That is to say, in order to be promoted, Jia Su will go to the seller's house, and in order to keep his official position, Jia Su will also go to the seller's house.
The existence that can influence Jia Su's position of power, only his Shangguan, who can make Jia Su suddenly turn his face with the Fang family without hesitation, is by no means a simple Shangguan. The power of the other side should be very large!
Thinking of this, Fang Dawei already understood the reason why the Fang family was in this situation today.
The court has arrived.
The imperial court wants to deal with the Fang family!
He is not a person who travels on a long river at all, nor is he a swordsman in Tsing Yi! Of course, the other party cannot have the power to mobilize the government and let the assassin obey orders.
So, why did the imperial court deal with the Fang family?
The answer to this question, Fang Dawei didn't have to think about it at all, and he didn't bother to think about it.
There can be many answers, for example, the Fang family has caused many rival families to be ruined, and in the process of expanding family property and land annexation, it has also killed many merchants and civilians, which is not tolerated by the law.
In the eyes of outsiders, the Fang family's means of obtaining wealth are all legitimate, but Fang Dawei understands that this legitimacy is defined by the government, and once the Assassin Shi Mansion turns his back on him, the Fang family's sins will be exposed in front of people.
What we need to think about now is how to deal with this situation.
The Fang family is a strong and powerful emperor in Yunzhou, but when it comes to the real court, Fang Dawei still can't help but tremble.
He was afraid, no doubt he was scared to death.
Who would dare to be the enemy of the dynasty?
When he realized that the opponent of the Fang family was the imperial court, the first thought that popped into Fang Dawei's mind was to hurry up and take Jin
Silver Soft ran away with her family!
If you go against the imperial court, you will definitely not end well.
But Fang Dawei couldn't do that.
He can't abandon the foundation of the Fang family, and he can't sit back and watch his hard work over the years.
Then the next question is much simpler.
How to wrestle with the imperial court.
Before this, did Fang Dawei have expected this scene of the Assassin Mansion and the Fang family turning against each other today?
The answer is obvious.
Yes.
The rise of the Fang family is not clean, and Fang Dawei must of course take precautions.
Those who do not seek eternity are not enough to seek a moment. He had thought about this day for a long time, and he had also thought about how to deal with it. The best situation is, of course, not to turn against the government, for which he pays a lot of money every year. But if he turns his back, he must have the means to restrain officials such as the assassin.
The Fang family had no way to fight with the imperial court, but there were many ways to deal with those officials of the Assassin Mansion. Not to mention anything else, he has left a piece of evidence for the exchange of interests between each other over the years, and the account book is also there.
The other party wants to turn his face with him, so he makes a gesture to break the net with the other party, and everyone finishes playing together. This is the first step, and with this step, the other side can be forced to make concessions and give both sides room to sit down and negotiate. Promoting unity through struggle is a very simple truth.
In addition, Fang Dawei will also let those big families in Yunzhou who marry and form alliances with the Fang family to contribute together. In this way, you can not only strengthen your own momentum, let the opponent throw a mouse, force the opponent to bow their heads and retreat, but also avoid the opponent from mobilizing troops and horses to forcibly attack and kill the Fang family.
If the Assassin's Mansion goes to war with several local clans, and the two sides are bloodied and the local chaos is in chaos, then no matter who wins or loses, the officials of the Assassin's Mansion will not end well, after all, maintaining local stability and ruling order is the greatest duty of officials.
It's just that the strength of the cultivators of the Fang family is stronger than that of the Assassin Shi Mansion, and if they join forces with a few big clans, then even in the face of the Yunzhou army, they will not be scared at all. Strength is fundamental, as long as there is the strength to overwhelm the other party, you can make the other party have nowhere to start, and finally obediently.
The Fang family was not worried that the allied clans would not help, after all, if the government could deal with the Fang family like this today, it would be possible to deal with them tomorrow. Everyone has the same identity and the same interests, so they are naturally in the same camp.
That's why local power groups are able to hold back the government.
Just like why the family can restrain the imperial power.
And once the Assassin Mansion "can't come up" with evidence of the Fang family's crimes, and in fact becomes the protector of the Fang family, then even if it is the imperial court, there is no reason to force a party like the Fang family. Whether it is the government or the court, those who must abide by the law on the surface, how do the people think of the unprovoked killing?
When this is over, the Fang family will use their connections and wealth to bribe the court officials, and then the Fang family may be preserved and will not be dealt with by the court.
The court is not omnipotent, neither is the emperor, as long as everyone acts within the rules, as long as everyone is still restrained, no one is invincible.
Fang Dawei breathed a long sigh of relief, returned to the room and sat down on the Taishi chair, the appearance of the eight winds not moving, made the Fang family feel at ease for a while.
......
Outside the gate of Fang's house.
After the Yunzhou army armor formation, Master Tong and General Xu sat on horseback and looked at the Fang family's mansion and talked in a low voice.
"The cultivators of the Fang family have already gone up to the courtyard wall and corner tower, and this is planning to resist stubbornly. Let's meet the Fang family's swords and soldiers today, do you think Fang Dawei will shake out the matter between us?" General Xu helped his pocket and asked Master Tong with some scruples.
Master Tong touched his goatee and said coldly: "What if it shakes out, who can sit on the truth? As long as the news can't get out, as long as the news can't be confirmed, this is."
The Fang family dog jumped over the wall in a hurry and spewed blood. A piece of paper in the Assassin's Mansion can define black and white. By tomorrow, the Fang family will no longer exist, and those things between us will naturally never appear. ”
General Xu nodded, still a little hesitant, and asked instead: "Who is the person from the imperial court this time, Lord Assassin Shi only told us that he was a person from His Majesty's side, but refused to say the specific identity of the other party, and the other party was going to destroy the Fang family as soon as he came, isn't it a little strange?"
Master Tong glanced at General Xu dissatisfied, "Old Xu, I didn't say you, why do you have so many questions? Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't look at what you shouldn't see, don't care about what you shouldn't care, you have forgotten such simple rules of officialdom?"
"The people from the imperial court, you and I have seen them, although the other party has not shown his true face, but the cultivation in the later stage of the Yuan Shen Realm can still be fake? What does the other party have in mind, do you still have to explain it to you and me? Doing your part better than anything else? ”
General Xu looked ashamed, arched his hand, and said no more.
They had been besieging the Fang family's mansion for some time, but they had not ordered an attack. According to Jia Su's instructions, they need to wait for a while.
Zhou Ying and Huang Yuandai argued for a while, and after each other blushed, they finally stopped, seeing that they looked at each other unpleasantly, and they didn't fight with red eyes, which was really impressive.
After a man in Tsing Yi came over, Zhou Ying, who was summoned by the other party, said to Huang Yuandai: "The time has come." ”
Huang Yuandai spread his hands: "What's the use of telling me, it's you who should do things." ”
Zhou Ying said angrily: "Your leg was also lame by the other party, don't you plan to come forward to ask for an explanation?"
Huang Yuandai smiled: "The Fang family is going to finish playing tonight, what more explanation do I have, the people of the Fang family are dead, it is more effective than any statement." ”
Zhou Ying had no choice but to take Huang Yuandai, so he didn't continue to fight with the other party, he took two people in Tsing Yi and walked to the Fang family's mansion, and shouted with a cold face to the Fang family cultivators who gathered in front of the door and put on a defensive formation:
"Tell Fang Yan to come out, Zhou has something to ask him!"
A middle-aged woman came out of the Fang family's cultivators, but it was not Fang Yan, the son of the Fang family, she crossed her arms and glanced at Zhou Yan coldly, "It's you again, what else do you want to ask?"
Zhou Ying threw a piece of paper to the other party: "This is a document issued by the Assassin's Mansion, and it is very clear that the first person in the government examination was Zhou, but Fang Yan impersonated him and went to the capital to participate in the Spring Festival! Sixteen years, now Fang Yan is already a driver in Qingzhou, and the official residence is five products, but Zhou's wife is scattered and has nothing, you shouldn't give Zhou an explanation and apologize to Zhou in public?!"
The middle-aged woman sneered and said disdainfully: "You were a lifter at the beginning, and now you can live in the five grades of official residence? Even if the Fang family admits this now, you can go to Qingzhou to do a good job? If you can't, what are you messing around? Tell me, how many taels of silver can shut you up, a hundred taels or a thousand taels?"
Zhou Ying held back his anger: "What I lost is my life, what I want is not silver, but justice, you must apologize to me in public and let Fang Yan pay the due price!"
The middle-aged woman's face sank, "You're not endless, aren't you?" For the sake of having someone behind you today, the Fang family is willing to give you a few more taels of silver, which is already extremely merciful." Isn't it just that you have been replaced as a lifter, and it is not enough to give you silver, what do you want to hold onto?
"You are also a scholar, you don't have any mind at all, you bite like a mad dog for this little thing, it's really a shame for a scholar in Yunzhou!
You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
