The nobles of the Star Empire, when they were young, had to study court history, which was a compulsory course for the nobles.

When studying court history, scholars who are familiar with imperial history will always shake out some so-called court secrets by the way when they give lectures, including about Julius Caesar, the last portrait of his life.

It is said that the original painter who painted this picture was brutally murdered by Julius Caesar's younger brother who succeeded to the throne after the death of Julius Caesar.

The reason for this is that the new king believed that the painter had cursed Julius Caesar on this painting, and that Julius Caesar died young.

Therefore, the new king directly ordered the destruction of all his scrolls, and at the same time banned the paintings that had been circulated by the artist. If the owner does not take the initiative to destroy it, once it is discovered, it will be a great crime of raiding the family and exterminating the family!

At that time, this incident was known to the entire mainland, so even after a thousand years, it was still widely spread on the mainland.

However, even after thousands of years, all the paintings made by this artist are still banned. And this picture of Julius Caesar's last expedition is a forbidden painting among forbidden paintings.

If Li Yunyang dared to send this painting to His Majesty the King, and then use it to invite credit, it would be a self-defeating death!

That's why Duke Zhuo En asked what he said just now, because this kind of thing is something that almost every nobleman in the Star Empire knows, but he doesn't know it yet, and he still wants to give it to the king.

But Li Yunyang really didn't know about these things, but after listening to Duke Zhuoen's story, he immediately understood that the nobles and merchants in Pavas Town actually wanted to plot against him!

If His Majesty the King knew that this painting was in Li Yunyang's hands, I am afraid that it would cause him endless trouble.

Although Li Yunyang was not afraid of things, he didn't want to cause unwarranted disasters because of other people's plots, so he immediately summoned the flying sword and shouted coldly at the nobles and merchants of Parvas: "Who is looking for death? Stand up yourself, otherwise tonight, you don't want to get out alive!"

At the same time, the soldiers of Buluo Ling, who were guarding the door of the banquet hall, heard Li Yunyang's shout, and immediately blocked the door, and then went to inform the other soldiers to seal the banquet hall tightly.

The nobles and businessmen in the banquet hall were all frightened into a cold sweat when they saw Li Yunyang's sudden anger, and they looked at each other, as if they wanted to find out who put the painting in the box.

After waiting for a long time, but no one stood up, Li Yunyang sneered: "Why? Dare to play these tricks with me to plot against me, don't you have the courage to admit it?"

As a last resort, the elderly nobleman stood up, thinking about Li Yunyang and explaining: "Lord Lord, we really don't know who put this painting in, before the box was brought in, we also specially checked it, and there was no such painting in it at all!"

With such a pale and weak explanation, even the elderly nobles didn't believe their own words, let alone Li Yunyang would believe their words.

However, Duke Zhuo En stood aside, hesitated for a long time, and still couldn't help but say to Li Yunyang: "Lord Allen, I shouldn't have interfered in the affairs of your territory, but I have a Jianyi, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Since Li Yunyang didn't hide his contradictions with the upper-class families in Pavas Town in front of Duke Zhuoen, he naturally didn't care about this, he smiled and said, "Even if Lord Duke says it directly, maybe your opinion can help me better manage Pavas." ”

Duke Zhuoen glanced at Li Yunyang in some surprise, but he didn't expect him to agree, and hurriedly said: "Like today's situation, if the person who is going to use this painting to plot against Lord Allen wants to deliberately hide, he really can't find out for a while, so it's better to let them go back today, give them a little time, and let them check it themselves." ”

"Let them check for themselves? What if they find a scapegoat to come out?" Anyway, Li Yunyang's relationship with the nobles and merchants in Pavas Town has already become stiff, and he doesn't care about killing a few more directly.

But if he couldn't find out who was plotting against him behind his back, Li Yunyang would never swallow this breath.

However, since Duke Zhuo En has already spoken, Li Yunyang will not refute him in person, at least the two have just cooperated, and they have to save some face for each other.

Before Duke Zhuo En could answer, Li Yunyang looked at the trembling nobles and businessmen, and said with a sneer: "Did you hear Duke Zhuo En's words? Remember, don't try to find a scapegoat, or you'll all die ugly, and don't try to escape from Pavas overnight, or your end will be even more miserable!"

If it weren't for the fact that Huimei Group had not yet started business in Parvas, and the prosperity of Parvas still needed these businessmen to maintain, how could Li Yunyang talk so nonsense with them.

The nobles and businessmen, after hearing Li Yunyang's words, repeatedly promised that they would do their best to find out the murderer, and there were cowardly people, and even said that they would send their families to the general's mansion to show their innocence. It's just that Li Yunyang didn't pay attention to these guys at all, and directly asked the soldiers to drive them out.

After those nobles and merchants had left the banquet hall, Li Yunyang said a little embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry, Duke Zhuoen, I let you see the joke." ”

"It's okay, the dirty things I encountered before I inherited the title are not much better than your current situation, I don't think I was false with them at the beginning, how can you still deter them all. Duke Zhuoen sighed, looking at the night outside the window, as if recalling the past.

Shi Erken kept silent at the banquet, and even when those nobles pleaded with him just now, he chose to ignore it, and it was not until after the banquet that Shi Erken stopped Li Yunyang on the way back to the room.

Looking at Shi Erdeken, who hesitated and didn't know how to speak, Li Yunyang smiled and said, "Lord, do you have anything to do with me?"

Although the relationship between Li Yunyang and Sujira is heating up day by day, he still respects Shierdeken as a lord, which mostly means that Shierdeken pays respect, but it is also because he doesn't know how to call him.

"Alan, don't call me lord, remember that you are the current lord of Parvas, and I, Sjördeken, am just a nobleman living in Pavas. ”

When Shi Erdeken heard Li Yunyang's words, he couldn't help but sigh, and then said: "Allen, I just want to ask you one thing, what kind of way do you plan to govern Parvas?"

Li Yunyang originally thought that Shi Erdeken was looking for him to intercede for the nobles of Pavas Town, but he didn't expect to ask such a question, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he had to answer: "I haven't thought about this matter for the time being, and I will make a plan when Pavas is completely stabilized." ”

"It's going to be too late!"

After hearing Li Yunyang's answer, Shi Erdeken scolded him and said, "Allen, you have to remember that there are no more than two ways for a superior to manage the territory, either to govern the territory with kindness and to convince people with virtue, or to use swords and blood to make your people stay in awe of you!"

However, Li Yunyang didn't quite agree with Shi Erdeken's idea, and immediately retorted: "Excessive mercy or excessive killing is not a strategy to make the territory stable for a long time, only the combination of the two can govern your territory well, otherwise according to your method, this territory will either be captured by foreign enemies, or it will be buried in the hands of your own people!"

In Li Yunyang's view, governing the territory is nothing more than holding a sword in one hand and a pawn in the other, being merciful when it should be merciful, and never being soft when it is time to be ruthless!

But Sherdeken suddenly laughed, nodded and said: "Alan, it's good that you know this, I'm afraid that you will be confused in dealing with the nobles and merchants of Parvas, if necessary, you can kill them all, but you can't wait until they affect the foundation of Parvas before you do anything to them, then it will be too late!"

Shi Erdeken's words surprised Li Yunyang very much, according to normal speaking, he should have interceded for the nobles and merchants of Parvas, rather than encouraging Li Yunyang to kill them.

However, Li Yunyang didn't dwell on these irrelevant issues, he quickly nodded and said, "I understand, thank you for your advice." ”

But Shi Erdeken patted Li Yunyang's shoulder and scolded with a smile: "Allen, you stinky boy, is it so difficult to call me uncle?"

Without waiting for Li Yunyang to answer, Shi Erdeken walked towards his room with a smile, his back looked chic, but it contained an inexplicable helplessness.

If it weren't for Sujra's happiness, Shardken would have built Li Yunyang and killed all the nobles and merchants of Pavas, after all, these people had also contributed to the prosperity of Pavas.

After seeing Shi Erdeken away, Li Yunyang originally planned to talk to Dai Qisi, but he didn't expect her to live with Sujira again, and locked him out of the door, saying that there was something to ask him to come back tomorrow, and they were already asleep.

This made Li Yunyang speechless, it seemed that Dai Qisi was clearly deliberately avoiding him, presumably because of the hurdle in his heart, or he didn't go out.

Anyway, the future is long, and Li Yunyang still has a lot of things to do now, so he didn't force Dai Qisi anymore. And Sujira took advantage of this time to get up and change clothes for him every day, bring him washing water and deliver food, as if he had changed from a brutal lady to a little maid who served people.

Three days passed quickly, and Li Yunyang waited for the nobles and merchants in the general's mansion to send over the person who wanted to plot against him behind his back.

But early in the morning of the third day, Li Yunyang didn't wait for the person who plotted against him to be arrested, but waited for the guests from the imperial capital!
