Chapter 745: Catch Them All

"What your Excellency said makes us a little panicked." Yu Zhizhou smiled but secretly made a gesture to the officers and soldiers who had been deployed here in advance to get ready, "I think there is still room for discussion on this matter. , What do you think, Mr. Xie?”

Zong Yushang said in a low voice: "Sir, I think Lord Zhizhou is right. Doing business with anger will make you rich, and the same goes for being an official. Your Excellency has made great contributions to disaster relief in Mianzhou. When you return to the imperial capital, Her Majesty the Queen will definitely give you a promotion, and you will be rewarded." I will write a note to praise your virtues. If you are willing, we can also ask the people of Mianzhou to write tens of thousands of people..."

"Baby Yushang, what do you mean is that Mr. Yu can already cover the sky in Mianzhou with one hand, bully the superiors and deceive the inferiors, and sing praises to whomever he wants?" Is it time for Sir Yu to be promoted to three levels if he praises his virtues? Or if he sings his praises to the head of the clan, can he make the clan prosperous and rise to the sky? "

Zong Yushang pursed her lips lightly, like a child who didn't understand the world, and looked at him at a loss: "Do you think this is inappropriate, sir?"

Xie Jin shook his finger: "It's very inappropriate."

The head of the Zong family had a gloomy expression: "So Mr. Xie is determined to let the Chen family dominate?"

"The Chen family is not the only one responsible for the food supply in Mianzhou." Boss Yu stood up with a somewhat unsightly expression on his face, "Isn't it fair that your Excellency gives all the business to the Chen family?"

Xie Jin was silent for a moment, then smiled with interest: "When did I order other grain merchants not to sell rice?"

He did not give the order.

However, the fact is that the Zong family, the Yu family, the Wang family and other families purchased rice from Linxian County at a price that was 20% higher than the cost price in order to seize the opportunity to make a lot of money after the disaster. , if the Chen family lowers the price this time, or just maintains the original price, then the Zong family, the Yu family, and the Wang family will not only work in vain, but also lose some money, and watch helplessly as they should have pocketed money. Who would be happy if the money is gone?

The more they sell at the original price, the more they lose. If they don't sell it, the Chen family's rice will continue to arrive in waves, which will directly monopolize the rice business. It will be more difficult for them to snatch it back in the future. sky.

It's just that although these words are understood by each other, they can never be said directly on the face.

"My lord, please think twice." The head of the clan said solemnly, "No one is happy to let other families suffer losses for the sake of the Chen family."

Boss Yu said: "My lord, please think again."

"Please consider it carefully, your Majesty the Imperial Envoy." Boss Wang also stood up and slightly bowed his hands towards Xie Jin. His attitude seemed to be humble, but his attitude was tough, "So many grain merchants in Mianzhou rely on the granary to make a living."

Xie Jin looked around casually, with a smile on his lips: "The battle is going to be quite big tonight, are you adults and family heads going to be tough?"

"Man perishes for wealth, and birds perish for food." The head of the clan looked at him expressionlessly, "Thanks to Sir, we can't continue the discussion."

Xie Jin held the wine cup and gave Zong Yushang a sip of wine as if flirting: "What are the plans of the Zong family?"

Zong Wei didn't say anything, he just raised his hand and waved.

The officers and soldiers lurking in the dark all came forward with swords in hand. There were dozens of people in the southeast and northwest directions. Their swords were cold and fierce. At the same time, a row of archers appeared on the roof, and their cold arrows were pointed in Xie Jin's direction.

In an instant, the momentum was intense and on the verge of breaking out.

Chu Nanyi, who was sitting on the corridor, slowly put down the tea cup and said in a leisurely tone, "Prince Yao should have arrived."

"That's for sure." Mo Lingan said, "If he misses the real thing, let alone the life of his sweetheart, he won't be able to pass even the master's test."

Chu Nanyi nodded slowly: "That's good. I have worked hard for so many days and even sent food to Xie Jin all the way. If you lose your life just after arriving here, there is really no point in being wronged. v. ”

"We both know when Prince Yao will arrive, but Xie Jin probably doesn't know." Mo Lingan turned to look at Chu Nanyi, his eyebrows slightly twisted, "Why do I feel that he seems to be very relaxed and content, and he doesn't seem nervous or worried at all. What does it look like?”

Chu Nanyi looked around: "Maybe he has figured out the way to escape from the Zong family's house. Even if there is a fight, he will not die so easily."

"It seems that this has been prepared for a long time?" The sky is high and the emperor is far away, but a mere magistrate of Mianzhou and a few families should not be able to compete with the imperial army, right? I really can't understand what you have in your mind. Even if you are really tired of life, you have never seen anything like this. I'm looking for death."

"Your Majesty Xie dared to utter such arrogant words while in an urn, and I really admire him." Yu Zhizhou smiled lightly, "Even if the Imperial Envoy died here today, who can prove that we killed you?"

Xie Jin raised his eyebrows: "No one can prove it?"

"Of course no one can prove it." Yu Zhizhou sneered, "The official said that the imperial envoy was assassinated in Mianzhou, or was washed away by floods during disaster relief. He sacrificed his life for the sake of justice for the people. In fact, this is the East. The hero of the mausoleum is a great hero in the hearts of hundreds of thousands of people in Mianzhou City... Mr. Xie died without any evidence. Shouldn't the cause of death be allowed to be fabricated by me, the governor? I will grant you the title of Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness, honor your ancestors, and protect future generations——"

"How many glasses of wine did this lord drink tonight? He is talking nonsense in his sleep. Did he eat too few peanuts?"

Suddenly, a young man's voice sounded, clean and clear, with a slight chill and murderous aura, like a ray of morning sun that suddenly shone in the gloomy night, making everyone present turn their heads.

For Xie Jin, it was the morning sun, and for Xuanyuan Chen, it was the bright sun.

But for the officials and family heads present, it was the god of death who sent them to the abyss of hell tonight.

The young man who walked slowly had elegant and noble eyebrows and eyes, and a tall and slender figure. His silver-white military uniform reflected the elegant and cold color under the lights at night. His demeanor was extraordinary and outstanding, and the cold and hard momentum trained in the military camp was daunting.

Dozens of soldiers in silver-white and black cloaks behind him were like ghosts in the dark night. They rushed through the house like ghosts, and in a flash, they dealt with all the officers and soldiers with swords. The sound of weapons falling to the ground was frightening.

The archers on the roof had not yet noticed the danger, and were silently restrained in the vitals, unable to move at all.

The whole garden was silent, and the face of the head of the clan went from shock to stiffness, and then from stiffness to pale and gray. Obviously, he had expected his ending tonight.
