Chapter 809 Jiangnan Shock

The fall of the Liu family was just the beginning, and then most of the families related to the Liu family were implicated. Soon, the storm spread to Jinling and swept across the entire south of the Yangtze River.

After Shi Hua got the news, he said to Fang Xing: "When the Liu family was destroyed, I really thought it was the concubine who was taking revenge!" No way, Yu Xi's reputation for being jealous is too loud.

Fang Xing chuckled and said, "You all take the Liu family too seriously, and look down on the princess too much. If the princess is so small, can the prince be convinced?"

Shi Hua asked strangely: "General, did you already know that the fall of the Liu family is just the beginning?"

Fang Xing shook his head and said, "I don't know. However, if the concubine really wants to deal with the Liu family, she won't wait until now." It's just that she didn't expect that the concubine's goal was the entire Jiangnan.

Shi Hua said with some emotion: "The concubine's hand is very big this time." More than half of the aristocratic families that were not wiped out during the war were implicated this time.

Fang Xing said: "Before the prince didn't move those families, I was puzzled. Now it seems that he didn't move those people at the beginning, because he didn't want to cause a big mess." Now that Jiangnan is stable, it is possible to use these big families.

While talking, the guard outside reported back: "General, General Yu said he wanted to see you outside."

Fang Xing frowned and said, "Please come in!" Since the last conversation, even if the two met, they only talked about military affairs, and never talked about government affairs or private affairs. Not to mention that Yu Cong didn't want to talk, it was Yu Cong who didn't want to listen.

Yu Cong saw Fang Xing and told him about the recent shocks in Jiangnan. After finishing speaking, Yu Cong said: "Brother Fang, this is not acceptable, we must stop it." As long as Fang Xing is willing to cooperate with him, he can stop Han Jianming's unscrupulous behavior.

Fang Xing's face turned cold all of a sudden: "I don't think I heard that because of our friendship for several years." Han Jianming is the governor of Jiangnan and their nominal boss. If you want to stop Han Jianming, you must carry out a mutiny. It's okay for Yu Cong to seek death by himself, but he even wants to drag him into the water.

Yu Cong said angrily, "Brother Fang, are you also afraid that the Han family and Han Jianming will fail?"

Fang Xing didn't show mercy at this time, and said, "If you say one more word, I'll arrest you now." If Han Jianming is arrested, even if he doesn't die, his future will be gone.

This conversation broke up unhappy.

After Fang Xing waited for Yu Cong to leave, he immediately wrote a letter and asked someone to send it to Hao City urgently. Then Shi Hua was asked to go to the Governor's Mansion to tell Han Jianming about Yu Cong's idea of ​​mutiny, and he rushed to the army himself in a hurry. You can't let Yu Cong incite the generals in the army to make trouble, otherwise even if he didn't participate in it, he would have to go around endlessly.

When Han Jianming got the news, he said amusedly, "Yu Cong wants to unite with Fang Xing to bring down this official?" Now he feels that Yu Cong's brain is not pretending to be tofu, because this person has no brain at all.

Shi Hua hurriedly said: "My lord, my general is loyal to the prince and the concubine, and has no second thoughts." Even if Han Jianming is the governor of Jiangnan, he doesn't have the right to copy and destroy so many families. mean. To oppose Han Jianming is to oppose the prince and princess.

Han Jianming smiled and said, "Of course I believe in General Fang. However, if General Yu thinks this way, he will definitely make trouble. In order to prevent such a thing from happening, I need to trouble General Fang." This time, he But Fang Xing will not let it go unnoticed.

Hearing that Han Jianming wanted him to put Yu Cong under house arrest, Fang Xing frowned. After a while, Fang Xing sighed angrily and said, "I can only gamble!" He originally wanted to watch from the sidelines, but Han Jianming obviously refused. Since he cannot be neutral, he can only choose the most advantageous side to take refuge in.

Knowing that Fang Xing was going to put Yu Cong under house arrest, Shi Hua said with some concern: "General, if you do this, you will tear yourself apart from Yu Cong. When Yu Cong is convicted in the future, I am afraid that Xu Wu, Feng Dajun and others will take their anger out on you." .

"If they make a small trip to their general or put eye drops in front of the prince, it will be enough for their general to drink a pot.

Fang Xing shook his head and said, "Xu Wu and Feng Dajun are reasonable people, so they wouldn't blame me for this matter. Besides, offending Xu Wu and Feng Dajun is better than offending the princess."

Fang Xing knew very well that it was Yuxi who killed so many people in Jiangnan this time. Therefore, in Fang Xing's mind, Yuxi was a person who could be ruthless. Such a person must not be offended. Otherwise, I will not know how I will die when the time comes.

Shi Hua said with some concern: "Yu Cong belongs to the prince. Han Jianming wants us to put Yu Cong under house arrest. What do you think the prince will do if he knows?"

Fang Xing was not worried about this: "Even if the prince is unhappy, he will not do anything to Han Jianming." Han Jianming has the support of the princess, and the prince is notoriously afraid of his wife. As long as Han Jianming didn't do anything rebellious, nothing would happen.

Knowing what Fang Xing was thinking, Shi Hua asked curiously: "General, you said the prince is really afraid of the princess!" He didn't believe this rumor.

Fang Xing said: "The prince is afraid of the princess, but this kind of fear is not the kind of fear we think."

Shi Hua thought it was very profound, touched his head and said, "I don't understand."

Fang Xing thought for a while and said, "Usually only a wimp is afraid of his wife. Do you think the prince is a wimp?"

Shi Hua immediately denied it: "Nowadays the country was brought down by the prince, who dares to say that the prince is a wimp?" If the prince is a wimp, then there will be no real men in the world.

Fang Xing said with a smile: "So, the lord is afraid that the wangfei is someone deliberately spreading rumors. The lord thinks that the government affairs are cumbersome, so he handed over all the details to the wangfei. The lord is in charge of fighting the country, and the wangfei is in charge of governing the country. I think this is actually quite good. " Fang Xing is not dissatisfied with Yuxi's administration, the reason is very simple, the princess's administration has made the entire Northwest prosperous, and it has also made their life better and better.

Shi Hua said: "It seems to make sense."

Fang Xing scolded with a smile: "It makes sense. Well, let's stop gossiping, let's get down to business." Since we have to do it, let's be more straightforward.

Yu Cong detained Fang Xing in the army that day. When Han Jianming got the news, he sent someone to Yu Mansion to arrest Liu Erye. In fact, Han Jianming was able to arrest people before, but Yang Duoming suggested not to arrest them.

Yang Duoming didn't have good intentions, he thought that with Liu Erye by Yu Cong's side, Yu Cong could continue to die without turning back, and the result was as he expected.

When Liu Yi heard that Second Master Liu was forcibly taken away by officers and soldiers, she immediately called Song Mang and said, "Where is Master? Where is Master?"

Song Mang said with a bitter face, "Master is in the barracks, but our people can't see him."

Liu Yi asked: "What do you mean you can't see Master?" After she finished speaking, her face turned to one side: "Did something happen to Master?" If something happened to Yu Cong, she would not even have the last point of reference.

Song Mang thought for a while and said, "Ma'am, it may be that there is an urgent military matter in the army. In the past, when the master was busy, he would often not go home for several days."

Liu Yi muttered to herself: "Master must have had an accident. The Han family will not let the Liu family off, so how could they let the master go." After saying this, Liu Yi passed out.

Han Mei was terrified: "Doctor, call for a doctor."

When Liu Yi was pregnant, she had severe bleeding from her pulse cutting, so her body was very weak. Later, when she was about to get married, she was depressed, and after only a few peaceful days after her marriage, she encountered the destruction of the Liu family. Therefore, Liu Yi's pregnancy was very unstable. This time I was stimulated again, and the doctor was at a loss.

When she woke up and knew that the child was gone, Liu Yi clutched her stomach and cried bitterly: "My child, my child, my child." Although the child did not come as she expected, it was her own flesh and blood. The child is gone, as if digging her heart.

Ever since the news of the Liu family's collapse was reported back to the capital, Yan Wushuang's complexion has always been unsightly. He wouldn't think that Yuxi took revenge on the Liu family because of Liu Yi's affairs, as others thought. As he expected, Han Yuxi's goal was the whole Jiangnan.

Meng Nian's expression was also very dignified. The last time Han Yuxi's revenge caused their intelligence system in Jiangnan to be severely damaged, and they have not recovered yet. It was also because of this that their news lagged behind: "The other party moved too fast, and we were caught off guard." The Yu family's forces in the south of the Yangtze River also suffered a devastating blow this time.

Yan Wushuang said: "I didn't expect Han Yuxi to attack so quickly." He knew that Yuxi would clean Jiangnan, but he didn't expect it to be so quick.

Meng Nian said: "Speaking of which, Han Jianming is really a good knife in Han Yuxi's hands." So far, nearly a thousand people have died and tens of thousands have been implicated in this mass cleansing. Jiangnan is also a place where the style of writing prevails, and the pens of literati are sharper than the knives in the hands of soldiers. Therefore, Han Jianming is also considered a murderous executioner.

Yan Wushuang was noncommittal about this: "Han Jianming was able to sit in the position of Governor of Jiangnan not because of his great talent, but because of his loyalty to Han Yuxi." As for the crusade against literati, I believe Han Jianming doesn't care at all.

Meng Nian stopped discussing Han Jianming, but said worriedly, "My lord, Han Yuxi has wiped out the south of the Yangtze River. When the time comes, they will capture the three provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou. It won't be long before they send troops to attack the capital."

Yan Wushuang said: "The ones that should come will come anyway, and it's no use worrying." If you can beat them, you can fight them, if you can't beat them, you can return to Liaodong.

Seeing Yan Wushuang's relaxed look, Meng Nian swallowed back the words: "The city wall on the other side of Tongcheng has been repaired, and the Donghu people will not be afraid to attack again." The construction of the city wall cost more than two million taels. Money, and all the money is spent on it without any discount. Therefore, the city wall was built very strong.

Yan Wushuang hummed and said: "The harvest of yams is not bad, even if they are returned to Liaodong Rizi, it will be much better than before." The high harvest of yams can alleviate the food crisis.

Speaking of food, Meng Nian looked sad: "My lord, I'm afraid it will be difficult to buy food from Jiangnan in the future." Although Jiangnan was occupied by Yunqing, they still got hundreds of thousands of grains from Jiangnan in the past six months. However, it will be difficult to get food from there after the turmoil in Jiangnan has passed.

Yan Wushuang smiled and said: "Five years ago, there was a drought in the Northwest, and the northern exiles sent troops to rob food. In that year, more than 200,000 people died in the West Sea. But Han Yuxi still had people sell grain to the northern exiles. Why? It’s not just for a word of profit.” All the Xixi in the world are for profit, and the world’s murmurs are all for profit. As long as the benefits are sufficient, there are many people who kill and set fire, not to mention just selling food.

The fact that Yuxi asked Yunshan to exchange food for the captives' horses is highly confidential, and very few people know about it. Yan Wushuang also deduced it after the mysterious cavalry appeared.

Meng Nian found this news inconceivable at first. It's no surprise that Han Yuxi is so hot, but it's hard for people to understand that Yunqing would agree: "If the world knows what Han Yuxi has done, I don't know how it will feel."

Yan Wushuang smiled and said: "The world will never know." These things are all shady, Han Yuxi must have swept the tail clean, even they also speculated about this, and they couldn't find any evidence.

Meng Nian shook his head and said, "Yu Cong was put under house arrest by Fang Xing in the barracks. Lord, do you think Han Yuxi will kill her?" Meng Nian said that Yu Cong was extremely incompetent. After such a long time, he didn't even cultivate his confidants, so he was put under house arrest easily.

Yan Wushuang shook his head and said, "If you want to kill chickens and monkeys, Yu Cong must die. But it's not that easy to kill Yu Cong. I think, in the end, we may choose a compromise method."

Just as he was talking, Aqian opened the curtain and walked in anxiously, saying, "My lord, it's not good. Doctor Le said that the fifth young master did not suffer from a cold, but a seasonal epidemic." The fifth young master Yan Hengxin had a cold last night, and Yan Wushuang So the imperial physician was called for diagnosis and treatment. I thought it was a cold, but I didn't expect it to be a seasonal epidemic.

Yan Wushuang's expression was also ugly: "Are you sure?" Seeing Ah Qian nodding, Yan Wushuang said: "Investigate thoroughly." I hope it's not what he thought, but some woman in the backyard who was jealous of him doting on Xiao Wu.

Meng Nian hesitated and said, "My lord, you have to move the Sixth Young Master out of the mansion quickly." This disease is easily contagious, and if the lord is infected, the consequences will be disastrous. Therefore, we can only move people out of the mansion as soon as possible.

Yan Wushuang nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Xiang knew that her son was infected with the epidemic and passed out immediately. When she woke up, she heard her son being moved out of the mansion, rolled her eyes and passed out again.

When she woke up again, Mrs. Xiang saw Yan Wushuang. Grabbing his sleeve, Mrs. Xiang cried and said, "My lord, it must be the murder of that bitch Han Yuchen. My lord, you must make the decision for me and Xin'er."

Yan Wushuang said coldly: "You are Xiao Wu's mother, I want you to take care of him, would you like to?"

Mrs. Xiang immediately nodded and said: "Xin'er was born in ten months of my pregnancy. I don't feel at ease if I leave it to other people to take care of me." In fact, Mrs. Xiang is also afraid of death, but she knows very well that if she refuses, the Yan Palace will never have her again. of foothold. Furthermore, she will not be able to bear children in the future, and if something happens to her son, she will lose her greatest support.

Yan Wushuang was very satisfied when he heard this: "Then you pack your things and go there! As for what you said about someone killing Xiao Wu, I have already sent someone to investigate."

Mrs. Xiang gritted her teeth and said, "My lord, you must make the decision for Xin'er, otherwise Mrs. Han will harm Xiao Wu again next time." After Han Yuchen is brought down, her son will have the possibility of being in power.

Yan Wushuang glanced at Mrs. Xiang and said, "I will send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly." He did not believe that Yuchen was behind the scenes. (to be continued)
