Chapter 71 All the people in the land are the king's subjects

royal palace.

Emperor Yu sat in front of the case with a serious look on his face. There was no trace of happiness or anger on his face. His eyes seemed to contain an abyss, making it difficult to tell the depth.

A rush of footsteps sounded, and a burly figure stepped into the hall, with a look of anxiety on his face.

Emperor Yu looked behind Jing Li and frowned: "Didn't you stop him?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I...have never met His Majesty!"

"Um?"

"His Highness seems to have expected that you would send someone to intercept and directly block the streets outside Chen's residence!"

There was a hint of astonishment on Emperor Yu's face: "So, the second brother's attack on the Chen family was not impulsive?"

"Your Majesty, I met Jia Xu from Prince Xuanyong's Mansion. This time, His Highness seems confident in his attitude towards the Chen family!"

"oh?"

"The Chen family, the Chen family he faced is just the tip of the iceberg!"

"I wonder how Shuzhou will react after this!"

Emperor Yu sighed helplessly, now he could only wait for news about the traitor.

…

"Did you hear that?"

"The Chen family colluded with the Blood Demon Pavilion to assassinate His Highness King Xuan Yong!"

"What are you talking about, assassinating King Xuan Yong? Is the Chen family going to rebel?"

"King Xuanyong is the prince of the current dynasty. Has the Chen family taken the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's courage?"

A piece of news spread like wildfire, and in just a short time, it spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital, and in all the major restaurants and teahouses!

"The Blood Demon Pavilion seems to be a killer organization in the world. Why would the Chen family take action against King Xuan Yong for no reason?"

"Hehe, you didn't know that!" A man with a sharp mouth and a round face gave a mean smile and said in a low voice: "Some time ago, the group of corrupt officials who ransacked the house of Your Highness were all disciples of the Chen family. Officer!"

"Tell me, how can the Chen family accommodate him?"

"Damn it, this Chen family is so ignorant that they don't know right from wrong!"

"His Highness is to eliminate harm for the people, but the Chen family actually wants to deliberately retaliate. It is so shameless!"

"After all, he is one of the four most famous families. He is so shameless!"

The sharp-mouthed man chuckled and said in a mysterious manner: "How do you think His Highness fought back?"

"Um?"

"Is it possible that the Chen family's home was ransacked?"

"impossible……"

"Just now, I saw with my own eyes that the Jin Yiwei entered the Chen Mansion. Now I'm afraid that the entire Chen Mansion has been raided and beheaded!"

"hiss!"

The people around him took a deep breath, and heard a voice from the crowd: "Well done!"

Everyone's eyes were focused on that person. He was a young talented man wearing gorgeous clothes.

"I know some inside information. I heard that the Chen family failed to assassinate His Highness King Xuan Yong once, and asked the Blood Demon Pavilion to send ten assassins to hide in the house, ready to wait for the opportunity!"

"Fortunately, some chivalrous people got the news. His Highness was so angry that he led the royal guards to surround the Chen Mansion!"

"His Highness said frankly that as long as the Chen family handed over the assassins from the Blood Demon Pavilion, they could forget the blame. Who would have thought that Chen Rui, the third master of the Chen family, would have murderous intentions again!"

"I want those killers in the Chen Mansion to kill His Highness!"

The young man in rich clothes sighed with regret: "How long has it been since the Jinyi Guards were established? They eradicated a bunch of cancers for me, Dayu. I didn't expect those corrupt officials to launch a counterattack so quickly!"

"Even if you kill someone, if His Highness is evil, who will investigate and deal with those corrupt officials!"

"Yes, the Chen family actually has so many disciples and former officials in the court, which shows how much His Majesty favors them. I didn't expect that the Chen family actually harbors wolfish ambitions!"

Jia Xu mingled among the crowd, a smile appeared on his face, he winked at the young talent and the sharp-mouthed youth, and several figures disappeared into the crowd at the same time.

The incident in the Chen family caused an uproar throughout the capital, and the reputation of the Chen family plummeted in an instant.

…

Chen Mansion.

Ten killers left four alive, and none of the guards of the Chen family were left alive. The whole house was covered with blood, and there was a river of blood!

Chen Rui sat on the ground with disheveled hair, looking at Ning Fan with eyes full of resentment, and said with a ferocious smile: "Ning Fan, I, Chen Rui, admit defeat today, but do you think you won?"

"Soon, you will go down to accompany me. You can't bear the anger of my Chen family!"

"presumptuous!"

Jiang Wei yelled angrily, and the Xiuchundao was directly placed on his neck. Ning Fan had a smile on his face and said calmly: "Whether it is the Chen family or other families, in the whole world, is it the king's land? On the shore of Tutu, could it be the king’s ministers?”

"The imperial court wants to use your Chen family. The Chen family may be one of the four noble families, but if the imperial court abandons you, you will be nothing more than a bunch of lost dogs!"

"A bunch of local chickens and dogs are still trying to threaten the royal family. Today, my king can slaughter your Chen family in the capital, and tomorrow I can crush your Chen family in Shuzhou. Do you believe it?"

Ning Fan's face showed deep disdain, Chen Rui laughed loudly and said: "What a loud tone, I want to see how you can crush my Chen family in Shuzhou!"

"Without my Chen family, Dayu couldn't even build a complete armor, nor could he get together enough war horses!"

"How to defend against foreign enemies?"

"Hahaha, if you don't kill me today, Emperor Yu will definitely kill you with his own hands tomorrow to apologize to my Chen family!"

Seeing the crazy look on Chen Rui's face and the unruly look in his eyes, Ning Fan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said lightly: "Bring Chen Rui into the Jinyiwei Yamen and let him meet Chen Fang!"

"There are also specific details about plotting a rebellion with the King of Huainan!"

"By the way, I also want to know what role Marquis Xuanwu plays in this!"

As soon as Ning Fan finished speaking, Chen Rui's defense was instantly broken, and he looked at him with horror: "You...you...you...you are talking nonsense!"

"Haha, take him away!"

"Father must be waiting anxiously for me!"

Ning Fan looked at Jiang Li and whispered: "How is the thing I asked you to do going?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, it has been done!"

"Verified?"

"Yes!"

After watching Jiang Li nod heavily, Ning Fan also showed a deep smile on his face.

...

Jiangnan.

In a remote town, outside a shabby room, a teacher and a scholar sat opposite each other.

"Kong Ming, I have been away from the court for many years. I am old and I am afraid that I can no longer take on important tasks!"

"Alas!" Zhuge Liang sighed with disappointment, "Now my country is facing internal and external troubles. The aristocratic families are in power, controlling the government, forming cliques for personal gain, and disrupting the government. Only you can stabilize the government!"

"If it is not necessary, how dare I bother you!"

Shen Li's eyes also showed a trance, and the corners of his mouth also showed a bitter smile: "Back then, I disagreed with the previous emperor's political views and left Beijing in disgrace. Swear not to enter the court again, and stay away from the temple!"

"But now, my Dayu is in turmoil. If there is another turmoil, it may be overturned!"

"For the sake of my Dayu people, I will accompany you on this journey, even if I die, I have no regrets!"

Hearing Shen Li's words, Zhuge Liang was also in awe, and stood up and saluted: "Liang, on behalf of the people of the world, thank you sir!"

"I dare not!"

Shen Li also stood up, bowed his hands and returned the salute, with a complicated look at the young man in front of him who made him admire him very much.

"Kong Ming, if you enter the court, my Dayu's internal and external crises can be resolved in an instant. Why do you have to travel thousands of miles to ask me to come out of the mountain?"

"Sir, Liang is a commoner. Even if he has thousands of means, it is difficult to ascend to the sky in one step!"

Looking at Zhuge Liang's bitter smile, Shen Li also sighed: "When will the poor scholar have a day to come out!"
