Volume 1 Mo Shang Gongzi Xing Chapter 7 Coercion
In tonight's turmoil, the harvest is obvious.
First of all, he temporarily avoided the bad luck of his previous life, and from now on, Zhao Yujie will not be able to step into the Zhao clan again, and will be hostile to all the Zhao clansmen, and even hunted down.
Her personal obstruction to the Zhao family is only limited to some wealth and resources obtained in the past two or three years, which is just a drop in the bucket for the Zhao family, a behemoth.
Secondly, although she failed to kill Zhao Yujie tonight, it was not a good thing for her to be rescued.
Today's interception is just a small step in a big chess game. For those who lay out behind the scenes, Zhao Yujie is just a chess piece.
This chess piece is gone, and it will completely lose its price; this chess piece is still moving on the chessboard, and she has the possibility of finding out the chess player according to the map through her movements!
In this sense, Zhao Yujie was rescued, which was much more useful than being killed by himself tonight.
Although Zhao Yujie is a rare heroic figure in the world, she has extraordinary cultivation talents, can be called a unique step, with superior wisdom and deep scheming...... But she was reborn and became a human being in two lives, so there was no need to be afraid of her at all.
Compared with the goal she wants to achieve in this life, Zhao Yujie's weight is not more than Erer.
Thinking about these clearly, Zhao Ning restrained his thoughts. After a moment's rest, his strength recovered. Just four slashes, he was indeed exhausted, although the situation was better than during the day, but he couldn't use the fifth slash with Qianjun.
This situation is naturally not visible to others, especially when his momentum is as usualβunless the realm is much higher than his.
"Childe, I will say everything, and I will know everything and say everything!"
Seeing Zhao Ning looking over, Zhao Zhongping put down the sword in his hand in a dejected manner, leaned down and bowed to the ground, and whimpered: "Childe, the reason why I worked hard for Zhao Yujie was because my illegitimate son who was raised outside was discovered and controlled by her, and that was my only son, and I was forced to do so......"
Having an illegitimate child outside is not tolerated by the rules of the Zhao clan.
"Needless to say, at this point. Zhao Ning didn't mean to listen to Zhao Zhongping's complaints.
He instructed the Zhao cultivators to take Zhao Zhongping and the Severed Arm Qi Realm cultivator, the eldest of the three Lu brothers, to the east and west wings respectively, and "The interrogation of the leader of the day attackers and these two people will begin at the same time. When the results come out, if there are contradictions in the confession, you will understand the rules. β
The cultivators received their orders one after another.
Boss Lu raised his head and stared at Zhao Ning through gritted teeth: "Let me betray my partner, don't even think about it! If I don't say it, what can you do to me? It's a big deal to give you this life!"
"Aren't you afraid of death? β
Zhao Ning showed a casual smile, "But you should know that my Zhao clan is a noble warrior who kills with iron and blood, and is not a scholarly family of etiquette heirlooms."
"We have seen a lot of tough guy captives on the battlefield, and there are many torture methods. If you're tough enough, congratulations, you're lucky enough to get a glimpse of what it means to be a general.
"There are always some people in this world, saying that there is no big thing other than life and death, and they will not be afraid of anything if they are not even afraid of death, believe me, within two hours, you will envy their simple ignorance. β
As soon as these words came out, Boss Lu couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and then looked at those Zhao cultivators, and saw that they all showed ill-intentioned smiles, like evil ghosts, and couldn't help but feel numb in the scalp.
The Zhao family was able to become the first noble family of the Great Qi Dynasty, not just by internal unity.
Waving his hand and letting the cultivators do things, Zhao Ning called two maids and asked them to prepare another table of wine and food. Today is busy so far, he has not eaten anything, and he has just fought again, and he has long been hungry.
When the wine and food were served, except for the west wing where Zhao Zhongping was located, there was a commotion in the other rooms, and the screams like killing pigs came and went, which made people unbearable to hear.
Of course, Zhao Ning didn't care about this, he ate a bite of food and drank a glass of wine, and was at ease.
In his previous life, he had seen a battlefield of blood and fire with hundreds of thousands of corpses, fighting in the capital city that had turned into purgatory, and he had even seen thousands of clansmen die in battle within ten years, until none of them remained...... In some ways, he has a heart like a stone.
"Childe, don't drive Daizhou. β
"Please come in. β
Zhao Ning knew that the state government yamen would send people, and he also knew that it must be the top three officials. Otherwise, it is not enough to show the respect and importance that the modern state assassin history attaches to the Zhao family, especially in today's situation.
"Zhao Gongzi. β
"Fan don't drive. β
The two of them simply saluted in the courtyard, one hugged his fists and the other gave his hands, neither of them surrendered their identities, nor did they lift each other. Under Zhao Ning's greeting, the two sat down at the stone table.
Fan Beijia is a middle-aged civil official with good facial features and a strong bookish atmosphere, even if he sits there in an ordinary way, he will make people feel the heroic spirit in him, as if he is asking for his life for the people all day long, running for the people.
"Today, Zhao Gongzi was intercepted and killed on the road in Daizhou, and was broken into the mansion by gangsters at night, which is the dereliction of duty of the Daizhou government. Zhao Gongzi can rest assured that the assassin has ordered the whole city to be blocked and the outlaws arrested, and I believe that it will not be long before he can give Zhao an explanation. Fan Bei said with a glance.
Zhao Ning nodded, even if he didn't think so, he didn't show anything on his face.
"Zhao Gongzi encountered these dangers today, and the casualties among the children of the clan were not small, do you want to send someone on behalf of the state government to Yanmen Pass to inform General Zhao?" Fan Beijia then asked.
Zhao Ning drank a glass of wine by himself, stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, and said without raising his head: "If I don't agree with the state government yamen to send someone to Yanmen Pass, and Yanmen Pass learns about today's events, Fan Beijia said, what could be the reason?"
"What does Zhao Gongzi mean by this?" Fan Beijia frowned slightly.
He was very dissatisfied with Zhao Ning, a young man, who was still eating and drinking by himself in front of him. Although the other party also invited him to have a drink, he refused after all.
At present, Zhao Ning has not yet come out of office, and he has no official position, so he has no scruples in front of him, which seems to be very disrespectful to him.
Although the Great Qi civil and military are separated, there are many fights between civil officials and military generals, and the relationship between the two sides has been deteriorating over the years, and they don't like each other, but they are still too humiliated to be so despised by a young man who is a general.
Zhao Ning didn't answer Fan Beijia's question, "Fan Beijia is from the Heyang Paradigm?"
"So what?"
"When Taizu opened the dynasty and established the country, there were eighteen generals with the most outstanding military achievements under his command, known as the eighteen generals of Kaiyuan. The family of these eighteen generals also later became the eighteen generals of the Great Qi Dynasty, and Paradigm was one of them. β
"Why did Zhao Gongzi mention this?"
"Paradigm was originally a general, although the ranking is not high, but it also has its own status, but I don't know why, Paradigm will now be out of the ranks of Jiangmen nobles, and the children of the clan will go to the imperial examination and become civil officials?"
"This is a paradigm family matter, what does it have to do with Zhao Gongzi?"
Zhao Ning picked up a piece of venison, chewed it carefully and swallowed it slowly, then picked up the wine glass full of wine from the maid, and took a sip unhurriedly.
After putting down his glass, he looked at Fan Beijia.
Suddenly, his eyes were like lightning, and his tone was solemn: "I mean, if the Daizhou Mansion can't catch the Jianghu cultivators who intercept and kill me today, and make chaos in my Mansion and rob my Zhao clan's traitors, then the thunderous anger of Your Majesty and my Zhao Clan, whether it is your Daizhou Mansion Ya, which is only four hundred miles under your jurisdiction, or the mere paradigm that can't get along in the sequence of Jiangmen Lords and nobles, and is not valued in the civil and official community, will not be able to afford it anyway!"
The words fell, and at this moment, in the east wing, which had been quiet for a while, there was a sudden loud wail of Boss Lu, like a night ghost crying, which was breathtaking.
Fan Bei's pupils shrank.
For a moment, his face changed several times, and the colors of fear, jealousy, and worry flashed in his eyes.
The Jinyang Zhao clan is not an ordinary general.
In the last years of the previous dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and the heroes rose up to chase the Central Plains, among the princes of the 36 roads, Emperor Taizu had few soldiers, but he was a second-rate force. But the Zhao family took a fancy to Taizu, and helped Taizu to help him conquer the Quartet, not to mention, he also married the daughter of the clan to Taizu.
The Zhao clan is a thousand-year-old clan, with a profound heritage and extraordinary fame, and many cultivators, after joining the Taizu army, it has greatly strengthened the power of Taizu. The children of the clan led the troops to fight, and there were many victorious generals.
In the end, Taizu won the world.
Taizu did not live up to the Zhao family, and when he ascended the throne, he established the ancestral system, and in the future, among the four first-class concubines of the Emperor of Great Qi, there must be a daughter of the Zhao family. And the Zhao title is passed on, and the prince of the country is retired from generation to generation!
Such an honor, the crown in the world, no one can match.
Since then, the Zhao family has become the first noble of the Great Qi Dynasty, the highest military yamen in the center of the imperial court - the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and the Yanmen Pass in the north is the most important gate for the dynasty.
To this day, the eighth queen of Daqi is half out of the Zhao family, and few people in Daqi can afford to provoke such a high-ranking family.
"Zhao Gongzi rest assured, we will definitely do our best to do what the state government does. Fan Beijia, who had an ugly face, couldn't stay here any longer, and took his leave.
Zhao Ning just stood up politely and did not send him off.
It's not that he deliberately took the big one and coerced Fan Beijia and the acting state government, but he had a reason to do it.
After sitting down, he beckoned to the people: "Send someone to the government office, take my message, and accompany them to Yanmen Pass." β
"Yes. β
In his previous life, after Zhao Ning was injured in the attack, his parents got the news and immediately returned to Daizhou City to visit, but they unexpectedly encountered a catastrophe halfway. At the height of the fighting, none of them asked for help from the Daizhou Governor.
This is not only because the Zhao family believes that they can solve the problem by themselves, but also because Daqi is now at odds with each other, and if it is not for official needs, they are unwilling to contact each other.
In particular, the generals are deeply hostile to the civilian clique.
And Zhao's response was exactly what the layout wanted, which led to the scene of Zhao's masters suffering heavy losses later.
If Zhao Ning wants to avoid the Zhao family repeating the mistakes of the past, and peel off the cocoon to catch the people who laid out the layout, he has to make a different choice from his previous life: ask the Daizhou government to make a big deal and let the official government system and state machinery of Daqi solve this matter, instead of relying on the Zhao family alone.
This was his intention to coerce Fan Beijia.
He sent someone to bring a message to Yanmen Pass, that is, to ask his father not to leave Yanmen Pass. He did not write because he knew that by doing so he risked being exposed to his intentions.
