It didn't take long for the clan leaders near Guangzhou City to arrive.

Although most of the people present did not obey many of the decrees of the imperial court, on the surface, they were willing to entertain them this time.

They also showed from their hearts that they did not resist.

After all, no matter what, even if the current Guangzhou government is incompetent, there is no way to take them, in the final analysis, it represents the imperial court and the emperor, and this face must be given no matter what.

What's more, clans like the Wang family and the Yan family are even people who are personally invited by the prefect of Guangzhou Prefecture.

It made them feel like their vanity, and that ethereal face was at its peak.

The rites have come to this point, don't go.. It's not appropriate to say anything, and besides, it's just a meal.

If the so-called prefect of Guangzhou wants to achieve something else in this feast.

It's a big deal that he promised on the surface, but when he turned around, he could still make jokes and deny his account, and what could the court do with him?

It's impossible, let's do it directly to the people.. None of the clan forces present were easy to get along with.

All kinds of rare dishes are served one after another, and all kinds of fine wine are poured into the cups for everyone present.

This kind of hospitality.

made many people nod secretly.

I said in my heart: "The government is quite good at coming to things." ”

But before it really arrived at the time when the wine had passed the three rounds and the food had passed the five flavors, Li Shun, the governor of Guangzhou Prefecture, walked in first, and Huo Weihua was next to him, both of whom were dressed as officials.

Even Huo Weihua specially sent someone to find a set of smaller-grade official robes to follow behind Li Shun.

Seeing that the main lord of the banquet walked in, some of the smaller clan speakers stood up from their positions to greet them.

And the Wang family, the Yan family and other people in the top few positions still sat there unmoved.

It's like being Li Shun is air.

This embarrassing scene made Li Shundu frown instantly, and secretly thought in his heart: "You really deserve to die today!" ”

It's just that no matter how you say it, Li Shun still shows it vividly on the surface.

I saw that instead of being annoyed, he stepped forward with a smile on his face, and even said to the several clan patriarchs at the main table with some compliment: "I'm really sorry for you... There are a lot of affairs, and I just delayed at the door for a while, sorry, sorry! ”

"I'll give you a drink! Come on, pour wine! ”

After a glass of water and wine, Li Shun raised his head again and looked at the people at the main table, and then said: "The time that this official has come to Guangzhou Mansion to take office is not short, and he has not paid a proper visit to you, which really shouldn't be." ”

It stands to reason that this is the prefect of Guangzhou Mansion, no matter how you count it, you are all a big member, not to mention that you can be called the local parent official of everyone in front of you.

But no one at the main table paid any attention to Li Shun, they all lowered their heads by themselves, or drank tea or continued to eat.

The scene cooled down again for a moment.

"It seems that the patriarchs of your clans are not going to sell Li's face, so the official has no choice but not to hide it." Li Shun's face also turned cold, and he looked at Huo Weihua beside him.

"Lord Huo, I'm tired!"

Seeing this, Huo Weihua also understood that the time was almost ripe, and it was just a Hongmen banquet designed.

None of the people present were able to walk out of the restaurant alive.

So he waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, Master Li will go out with the official first..."

Although they couldn't understand what the two were saying, everyone at the main table looked fearless, and still looked at the two people who were standing aside at the moment with nonchalant care.

Seeing that no one spoke for a long time, an old man at the main table opened his mouth leisurely: "It's not that we don't know what Lord Li called us here for today... Don't you just want us to cooperate with the implementation of the imperial decree? I tell you not to even think about it! ”

Although Huo Weihua didn't want to say anything more, he turned around and wanted to leave, but Li Shun turned around and said coldly before leaving: "Then you guys are really good... I hope you will eat and drink well, so as not to waste a piece of the heart carefully prepared by the official. ”

After speaking, he went out with Huo Weihua.

It didn't take long for a large number of Pingnan troops to rush in outside the restaurant, surrounding the entire restaurant in an extremely short period of time.

And in order to be able to block the news, almost all the surrounding people who have nothing to do with this matter are expelled.

And inside the restaurant, a large number of clan patriarchs were still looking at the people at the main table with flattery on their faces, after all, daring to directly refute Li Shun's face on such a scene was enough to show that it was in this land of Guangzhou Mansion.

What a huge amount of energy these people in front of them have, it's a pity that this energy is going to disappear with the wind today.

Before the food could be eaten, the door was pushed open again.

It's just that this time it was not Li Shun who greeted them with a smile on his face, but the soldiers of the Pingnan Army who were armed with new-style rifles and were fully armed.

Before everyone could react, a heavy screen behind the main table collapsed.

The soldiers of the Pingnan Army who had been ambushed in the back early were revealed.

The general of the Pingnan Army who led the way was also cold, and after looking around, there should be no one who left just now.

Then he shouted loudly under the frightened gaze of everyone.

"Fire!"

Da-da-da-da!

Bang bang bang!

The new machine gun and musket fired at the same time, and the bullets that continued to erupt from the muzzle of the guns accompanied by dazzling tongues of fire began to harvest the lives of all the clan chiefs present, and this killing completely began.

Outside the restaurant, Li Shun nodded towards Huo Weihua and said, "This official has fully cooperated with the imperial court, and has already controlled all the officials and officials in the city who have clan power backgrounds!" I'll leave it to Master Huo below. ”

In an instant, there was a loud gunfire in the restaurant.

Huo Weihua motioned to the soldiers beside him and fired several rhythmic shots into the sky.

As the rhythmic gunfire spread farther and farther, a large number of cavalry of the Pingnan Army began to stream out from the city of Guangzhou, and continued to march towards the garrisons of all the soldiers around!

Pass the order for the start of the operation!

On the galloping war horse, in the cold gaze, the speed of the herald was very fast, and as the distance gradually reached the military order for the beginning of the operation.

All the officers and men of the Pingnan Army or the Heavenly Tiger Army who received the military order were already ready to go, and almost instantly began to besiege the nearest clan location around!

The Great Purge on the Verge! Here we go!
