"Master, His Royal Highness, Captain Jiang Ning Zhechong, Dewu and Inspector Xie Lang led a team of soldiers and horses, begging to see you outside the gate!"

"Uncle Third?"

Li Chengqian quickly looked at Li Xuan.

"not see!"

Li Xuan shook his head and refused: "Tell them that the king and the prince have nothing to do, and we will talk about it tomorrow!"

"Yes, Master!"

Xue Rengui cupped his hands and saluted, then retreated.

The ruins of the gate of the Wang family mansion, and all the officials in Jiangning, including De Wu and Xie Lang, stood outside the gate with anxious faces.

Although the gate of the Wang family had already been blown into ruins, they still didn't dare to take a step inside.

Seeing Xue Rengui coming out, He Dewu, Xie Lang and others hurried forward.

"May I ask this general, would His Highness the Crown Prince and King Jin wish to see me?"

"The crown prince and the king of Jin are all well. It's getting late now. Let's talk about it tomorrow morning if you have anything to do!"

Xue Rengui said coldly.

Two hundred thieves were able to get into Lijiazhuang. Does he believe that none of Jiang Ning's officials knew about it?

"This……"

Xie Lang was taken aback for a moment, then quickly smiled apologetically.

"It's good that the crown prince and His Royal Highness King Jin are safe. This matter is our negligence. We let the thieves sneak into the royal mansion and disturbed His Highness the Crown Prince and King Jin! Please also report to His Highness the Crown Prince and King Jin. We are waiting for you." Today, I will personally guard outside the Wang family mansion, and will never let any thief enter the Wang family mansion again!"

On the side, He Dewu was taken aback, then subconsciously glanced at Xie Lang, and hurriedly bowed his hands in salute.

"General, please don't worry, I will lead a group of subordinates to guard outside the Wang family's mansion tonight. If any thief dares to come, I will definitely let him come and never come back!"

"You can do whatever you want!"

Xue Rengui nodded casually and walked in.

Outside the Wang family's mansion, He Dewu, Xie Lang and others looked at Xue Rengui who just entered, and couldn't help being dazed for a while.

After a while, He Dewu turned his head and glanced at Xie Lang.

"Knowing that the Crown Prince and King Jin live here, they still dare to send people in to save them. They really don't know how to live or die! Could it be that they really think that the current family is still the family from more than ten years ago, and they can control the court?"

"He Duwei, I don't know about this matter!"

Xie Lang was full of depression.

"I have sent someone to investigate, as long as I find someone, I will never show mercy!"

With a cold snort, He Dewu went to the Zhechong Mansion soldiers he had brought with him, and began to set up guard posts himself.

"Ugh!"

Xie Lang and a group of officials looked at each other and sighed helplessly.

Immediately, they also began to lead a group of yamen servants around the Wang family mansion and set up sentries.

Outside the entire Wang family mansion, it was as bright as day.

Zhechong Mansion and Governor's Yamen, two groups of people will hold torches and surround the Wang family's mansion so densely that not a single fly can fly in!

And in the royal mansion.

After Xue Rengui went in and reported the situation outside the gate to Li Xuan and Li Chengqian, Li Xuan and Li Chengqian only nodded slightly.

I didn't pay much attention to it, the dignified Tang prince and Jin Wang were attacked and killed by thousands of soldiers from a family during the day in Jiangning City. At the beginning, these officials in Jiangning City didn't know that Li Chengqian was coming, so it was understandable.

However, at night.

In the mansion where the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty and the King of Jin stayed, two teams of thieves could be found again. This is the crime of the chief officials of Jiangning City.

If those censors in Chang'an knew about it, Xie Lang, He Dewu and others would be impeached and filled the entire Taiji Palace.

Not to mention demotion, within ten years, there is definitely no hope of promotion.

If something unexpected happened to Li Chengqian again, all the officials in Jiangning City would definitely be buried with him.

Moreover, it is still the kind of implicated!

After nothing else, Li Xuan took Li Chenglu to sleep.

As for Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and the others, looking at the darkness outside, they also felt bored and went to sleep.

All night.

In the early morning of the next day, when Li Xuan, Li Chengqian and others started to eat breakfast, Yuchi Baolin and Luzhou Zhechong Mansion Duwei Zhuang Dale, led six hundred soldiers from Luzhou, rushed to the outside of the Wang family's mansion with tired faces.

Then, a quarter of an hour later.

Li Chongyi and Gao Daohong, the captain of Zhechong Mansion in Yangzhou, six hundred generals, one hundred songs, and one thousand young and strong generals, totaling [-] generals, also rushed outside the Wang family mansion in a hurry.

After everyone arrived, Li Xuan allowed He Dewu and Xie Lang, who had been guarding outside for the whole night, to enter the Wang family mansion.

In front of the main hall.

Li Chongyi, Yuchi Baolin, Gao Daohong, Zhuang Dale, He Dewu, Xie Lang and others looked at the deep pits in the courtyard, as well as the residual limbs and dead bodies that had not been cleaned up in the deep pits, all of them turned pale. .

Just now, they also learned about the situation of the two groups of thieves yesterday.

Especially He Dewu and Xie Lang, their legs were trembling all the time.

Fortunately, the Prince's Palace and King Jin were not harmed last night!

"Master, Prince, but who is the thief?"

Li Chongyi directly said angrily.

"He Duwei and Xie Inspector? You two are the chief officials of Jiangning City, but who are these black-faced thieves?"

Li Xuan turned his head to look at He Dewu and Xie Lang at the side, and asked in a low voice: "Or, you two didn't catch all the important people of the Wang family yesterday, and let them attack and kill the prince at night. With this king?"

"Prince Jin forgives the sin, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince forgives the sin!"

Hearing this, the expressions of He Dewu and Xie Lang changed drastically, they knelt on the ground with fear on their faces.

"The lower officials have arrested all the children and stewards of Langya Wang's family in Jiangning City yesterday, even the concubine, and none of them escaped!"

"His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness Prince Jin, the officials can also testify to this matter. Now all the children of the Wang family in Jiangning City have been arrested!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly, then his face darkened.

"So, these black-faced thieves who sneaked in last night were sent by forces in Jiangning City who have good relations with the Wang family?"

"Those thieves are really brave?"

"Bringing a knife into the prince's residence, don't you want to rebel?"

"I also ask your majesty to give an order. I will take people here and arrest them all!"

On the side, Li Chongyi and Cheng Chusi, although they also knew the loopholes in the words of He Dewu and Xie Lang.

If it weren't for the secret forces of the Wang family, how could they know where the Wang family's secret passage is?

However, having been with Li Xuan for so many years, they also knew a little about Li Xuan's thoughts, so they were filled with righteous indignation, and cooperated with Li Xuan.

Seeing this, He Dewu, Xie Lang and the others couldn't help feeling bitter.

The members of the Wang family, they really didn't catch them all.

After all, the Wang family has dominated Jiangning City for so many years, and they don't even know how many dark hands they have.

It's just that they didn't expect that although they got this matter over to Hu, they were involved in another family by the King Jin.

Moreover, they can't refute it yet!

Regardless of He Dewu and Xie Lang's depression, Li Xuancai stared at them closely, and asked in a deep voice: "As the chief officials of Jiangning City, He Duwei and Xie Cishi, they should know which family has the closest relationship with the Wang family, right?" ?”

"This……"

Both He Dewu and Xie Lang couldn't help being startled, with embarrassment on their faces.

"Why, is it possible that the two of you have something hidden that you can't tell?"

Li Xuan's face darkened.

"I would like to report to King Jin, on weekdays, the several major families in Jiangning City have a good relationship with the Wang family, and it is difficult for the general to make decisions at the moment!" He Dewu said hastily.

He is a foreign military general, and his relationship with those aristocratic families in Jiangning City is not very good, and he belongs to the state of "well water does not violate river water".

Now, for the sake of his own wealth and life, and even the lives of the whole family, he can only sacrifice to those aristocratic families in the city.

It would be even better if King Jin could slaughter all those big families at once!

It's a pity that He Dewu can only secretly look forward to this kind of thing in his heart.

Li Xuan nodded, with a certain expression on his face, and directly ordered: "So, please also Du Wei and Xie Jieshi, together with a group of generals, capture all the royal families in the city for this king!"

"Your Majesty, arrest all the families in the city?"

Both Xie Lang and Dewu were shocked.

"If anyone dares to block, kill Wu'she directly! If anyone dares to resist, the whole family will be killed!"

Li Xuan continued to speak in a cold voice.

Anyway, now he has [-] soldiers under his command, plus [-] Chongfu soldiers from He Dewu, [-] generals.

Even if these aristocratic families in the city collectively rebel, he can suppress it in one fell swoop!

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Li Chongyi, Cheng Chusi, Yuchi Baolin, Gao Daohong, Zhuang Dale and others all nodded angrily.

He dared to send troops to attack the current prince at night, but fortunately the prince was safe and sound.

Otherwise, even if they directly send people to confiscate and exterminate all the aristocratic families in Jiangning City, no one would dare to seek justice!

Seeing this, He Dewu, Xie Lang and the others sighed helplessly.

Afterwards, under the gaze of Li Chongyi, Cheng Chusi and others, they could only set off with the army.

However, in Jiangning City, there are only a few real aristocratic families, and there is no need to identify them with De Wu and Xie Lang, they can all find them.

The Yan family in Langya, the Meng family in Pingchang, the Xu family in Gumu, the Liu family in Juxian County, Dongguan... and even the Xie family where Xie Lang lived. Inside the mansion!

The members of the aristocratic family, who were originally full of anger, trembled in their hearts after looking at the corpses that had been transported out of the mansion.

"We see His Royal Highness Prince Jin, see His Royal Highness Jin Wang!"

When Li Xuan came out with Li Chengqian and others, all the people hurriedly saluted.

Li Xuan ignored it, but looked at Li Chongyi who was at the side.

Li Chongyi hurriedly cupped his hands and reported: "Master, all the patriarchs and all the descendants of the feudal families in Jiangning City have been brought by me!"

……

Chapter 822 Ming Conspiracy

Hearing this, Li Xuancai turned his head slowly, and looked at the people from the aristocratic families standing in front of him.

"Do you know why this king brought you all here?"

"Please also ask His Royal Highness King Jin to speak clearly!"

An old man stood up and said solemnly.

"Everyone must also remember that when every family seals the country, His Majesty will sign a seal agreement with the head of the family, and those who violate the agreement will revoke their seal and withdraw their princes!"

As he spoke, Li Xuan couldn't help laughing at himself.

"Perhaps, after you signed those agreements back, you high-ranking families didn't take it seriously, let alone treat the common people in my Tang Dynasty as human beings.

However, more than half of the barbarian lands sealed off by the noble families were captured by the king's troops.

It is also my suggestion to His Majesty to confer the title of country and king to all the families.

Its purpose is to give you aristocratic families an autonomous vassal state, and you can do whatever you want, as long as you don't bully the people in the Tang Dynasty. "

"I didn't expect that the Langya Wang clan would be so heartless. Not only did they openly violate the agreement to seal the kingdom, they bullied and harmed thousands of people, forced them to become slaves of the royal family, and brought them into their Langya Wang clan's feudal kingdom."

"Hmph, I don't like to meddle in other people's business, and I don't like to be a great saint, but I'm not easy to bully. Their Langya Wang family slapped me in the face so openly, and even put my face in the face. Stepping on the belt, this king must lead someone to find them for an explanation!"
