Chapter 293: The Rabbit Bites and the Dog Jumps Over the Wall
The rebellion in the Jin Palace, it seems that it did not have much impact on the residents of Taiyuan Mansion. Except for a few knowledgeable people who smelled some changes, the rest of the ordinary people still lived their original lives in an orderly manner.
The city gates are not sealed, the merchants are non-stop, the trade is continuous, and the business is prosperous.
The streets and alleys of the entire Taiyuan Mansion are still as lively as before. Although due to the end of the first round of the World Heroes Association, many of the people in the rivers and lakes who were eliminated in the first round have left Taiyuan Mansion for various reasons, but there are still many people who like to watch the excitement and continue to contribute to the economic construction of this prosperous city in the three major state capitals of the Central Continent.
Seeing that Taiyuan Mansion is still a bustling city, Wang Yuelong, who walks in the crowd in a low-key manner, and hides his light as much as possible from being discovered by others, can't help but feel a sense of admiration in his heart for Duanmu Zhangqiong, the first think tank of the Jin Palace, who planned the chaos in the Jin Palace.
After all, throughout history, there are not many people who can do it in times of rebellion or coup d'état without disturbing the lives of ordinary people.
There was a sudden movement in his heart, Wang Yuelong was originally going to go to the slums of Taiyuan Mansion to find local beggars, but now he changed his mind, his body was slightly off, and he turned to the west.
As far as the urban layout of Taiyuan Mansion is concerned, the east of the city is the residence of some dignitaries or wealthy businessmen, it is definitely a high-rise area, the Jin Wangfu and the five merchant league are stationed in the east area of Taiyuan Mansion; along the central axis street in the city, it is the most prosperous commercial area of Taiyuan Mansion, the whole commercial area is laid out in the central axis of the street, from south to north through the entire Taiyuan Mansion, and in the south of the city, it extends to the southeast of the city and the southwest of the city respectively, the southeast of the city is the green building of the wine shop, the southwest of the city is the temple pavilion, the green building of the Ouyang family and the Guanyin Temple of Yixin Shitai are located in these two areas respectively。 As for the northern part of the city, it is the poorest area in the entire Taiyuan Prefecture, where all kinds of poor laborers, as well as a large number of beggars and bandits, can be regarded as the most chaotic area in the entire Taiyuan Prefecture.
As for the west of the city, it is the center of administrative power in Taiyuan Province. The Taiyuan Prefecture Government and the Jin Gang Headquarters and other forces that hold real power in the one-third of an acre of land in Taiyuan Mansion are concentrated in this area.
Wang Yuehe, Wang Yueqing, and Wang Yueqiang once went to the western area of the city and went to the headquarters of the Jin Gang to investigate. The Taiyuan Mansion is not far from the Jin Gang headquarters, standing at the door of the Taiyuan Mansion and looking west, you can easily see the pair of stone lions at the door of the Jin Gang Headquarters.
It's just that now inside and outside the Taiyuan Mansion, there is a low pressure shrouded in the air.
It turned out that yesterday the Praetorian Guards of the Jin Dynasty suddenly surrounded the Taiyuan Mansion, and controlled the Taiyuan Mansion with lightning speed.
As for Master Ma's right-hand man, Cao Ye Cao Catcher, one of the head catchers of the third class of officials, but after a bloody battle, he directly broke out of the siege, and fought with the Jin Wangfu Guards who seized the ownership of the city gate in the west of the city, and escaped after killing dozens of sergeants in a row.
Originally, Cao Ye wanted to escape with Master Ma, but as the prefect of a prefecture, Lord Ma has his own majesty. Fleeing in such an embarrassment would damage the face of his prefect. And he knew that he didn't have any martial arts, if it was carried by Cao Ye, he would definitely become a burden to Cao Ye, and the two of them would definitely not be able to escape from the pursuit of the Praetorian Guards of the Jin Palace. And if Cao Ye escaped by himself, he could go to the base camp of the defenders of Taiyuan Mansion in the west of Taiyuan Mansion, and bring rescue troops from there to take down the people of the Jin Wangfu who were in trouble.
However, since the Jin Wangfu dared to directly make trouble and attack the Taiyuan Mansion, how could they not think of laying a follow-up on the side of the Taiyuan Mansion defenders? It is also for this reason that when Cao Ye escaped from Taiyuan Mansion and went to the Taiyuan Mansion defenders, he was almost ambushed by the Jin Wangfu Praetorian Guards who were lying in ambush on the road between the Taiyuan Mansion defenders' barracks and the Taiyuan Mansion City.
If it weren't for the fact that Cao Ye himself was also a first-class master in the rivers and lakes, he had detected the existence of the ambusher through his own extraordinary perception in advance, and at the same time, he was unpredictable and unpredictable, except for the Qi King Tianxing step and another almost lost footwork, no one in the entire rivers and lakes could match, so he left early before the ambush of the Jin Wangfu found him.
In fact, the contradiction between the Jin Mansion and the Taiyuan Mansion Yin Yi Department is not a day and a half, and Master Ma and Cao Ye are also on guard against them day and night, but in the end, they were preempted by the more spicy Duanmu Zhangqiong, the first think tank of the Jin Palace.
Speaking of which, the reason why the Jin Wangfu chose to do it in these days was because they received a secret report from the central court of the imperial court. It turned out that after today's son became the dynasty, in order to combat the phenomenon of excessive local power, a prime minister with a very tough personality was appointed. The prime minister implemented a strategy of simultaneous co-optation and suppression of the military generals, but he comprehensively suppressed the powerful princes who were divided into other places and the clan gangs in the local rivers and lakes. It can be said that it is precisely because the emperor of the dynasty has used such a prime minister who is very tough on the local area and is a little over-the-top, that the relationship between the central imperial court and the local Jianghu sect gang separatist forces is very tense, and at the same time, the central royal family has lost the support of the real power princes in various places.
Speaking of which, although Master Ma of Taiyuan Mansion is not exactly the protégé disciple of the Prime Minister of the current dynasty, he also has a deep relationship with him, and is naturally considered by the real power forces of Taiyuan Mansion to be the Prime Minister.
If it weren't for the fact that this short-tempered and tough-tempered prime minister issued a decree three days ago to offend all the dozens of powerful princes who were sealed in various parts of the world, the Jin king, who was the strongest among these powerful princes, would not suddenly raise troops and control all the people in the Taiyuan Prefecture Yin Ma Prefect's Mansion.
As the saying goes, a rabbit bites when it's in a hurry, and a dog jumps off the wall when it's in a hurry. With the support of the Son of Heaven, the prime minister tried his best to override the public opinion and forcefully implement the order to cut the feudal domain, but it was to put this group of people in the hands of great real power, and one by one in their own acres and three points of land The princes who were accustomed to being the emperor of the soil were all in danger, and after the Jin Wangfu quietly controlled the Taiyuan Mansion Yin and his family, dozens of princes who were divided into Xizhou, Nanzhou and the four places also raised troops one after another to control the local Mansion Yin.
It's just that these are not what Wang Yuelong or Cao Ye know now.
