Chapter 998
Chapter 998
The empress of Xiliang, wearing a jade crown, was sitting in the empress dowager's bedroom, watching the so-called leaders of the eight major families beheaded by Xiliang warriors, the empress dowager's palace suddenly screamed.
The empress of Xiliang's face was as gloomy as water, and the blood spattered on the cloud shoes inlaid with pearls under the empress of Xiliang's feet. She lowered her eyes and felt that the bright red was too dazzling.
The patriarchs of the eight major families and the men who resisted were killed, leaving only the blood-covered women and children trembling in the pile of corpses.
"Li Tianjiao! What's the point of you killing the patriarchs and family members of our eight major families today!" The wife of the head of the Yun family held the youngest son in her arms, tightly protecting the youngest son, trembling, crying, "The patriarch The Eight Great Families are pushing forward, do you think that if a patriarch is killed, the Eight Great Families will disperse? No!"
"So..." Xiliang Empress Li Tianjiao looked up at the wife of the head of the Yun clan, "I support your son as the head of the clan, what do you think?"
"What?" The wife of the head of the Yun clan didn't seem to expect Li Tianjiao to say that, with a surprised expression on her face.
Li Tianjiao turned his head to signal the commander of the imperial army, who came forward with the eunuch who was holding two cups of honeydew. The wife of the head of the Yun family pulled away, pinched the face of the crying child, and poured the honeydew into it.
"Ah! Ah!" The wife of the head of the Yun family saw her son's small arms and legs slapping the arm of the commander of the imperial army, but was still poured with honeydew, screaming and crying, and she didn't know where the strength came from Kai Kai, who was holding her back, rushed over to snatch back his son, ignoring that he was also being fed honeydew, and reached out to pick the child's throat: "Spit it out! Spit it out!"
The child cried and struggled.
"Don't worry...it's not something that can kill you instantly!" Li Tianjiao said indifferently, "You made him spit it out, and you have to work hard to refill it, why bother?"
"Li Tianjiao! You're going to die!" The wife of the head of the Yun Family cried and cursed hysterically.
"Drink it all! From now on, as long as you are obedient, you will have an antidote every month. If you are disobedient...you will die!" Li Tianjiao used the secret medicine that was once given to the royal dead soldiers on the eight major families .
"Only the Empress Dowager knows how to make this secret medicine. If you have the confidence to persuade the Empress Dowager to kill me for you... you can try to be disobedient! Anyway, the eight big families have a lot of people, and it doesn't matter whoever I support is in the top position!" Li Tianjiao's voice was indifferent and cold.
"Li Tianjiao, you are so cruel and murderous... You must die a terrible death!" Someone cursed the Empress of Xiliang loudly.
Li Tianjiao lowered his eyes, but for a moment, blood spattered...the woman fell to the ground.
Killing chickens to warn monkeys, the hall was suddenly silent.
Unexpectedly, the Eight Great Families no longer have any reverence for her, the empress of Xiliang. Fortunately... she has made up her mind today, otherwise she doesn't know what kind of catastrophe it will cause in the future!
"These eight big families are willing to hand over their granaries. Those who are obedient and obedient will stay, and those who are not... let them go on the road together!" After Li Tianjiao finished speaking, he stood up and walked out.
The remaining members of the Eight Great Families surrendered quickly. Some of them knew where their granary was and told them one after another, and those who didn't know said they would report it immediately after they went back.
But their speed was far from Xiao Ruohai's. When the sky was about to break out, the Empress of Xiliang, who hadn't slept all night, received the news that the granary of the Eight Great Families was burned.
Empress Xiliang stood up in shock: "What did you say?!"
The soot-covered general raised his head: "The granary of the Eight Great Families was doused with kerosene and set on fire again. I was supposed to rush to take over the fire. I saved the fire all night. The food... I'm afraid I can't eat it." !"
Li Tianjiao clenched his fists tightly: "The eight granaries, are they all burned?"
"Yes! They were all burned! People from the eight major families also rushed to put out the fire...but they still couldn't save them!"
This action was so fast, except for Cui Fengnian... Li Tianjiao would not be suspicious.
At first, Li Tianjiao felt that Cui Gongxing was collaborating with the Eight Great Families to disrupt the situation in Xiliang, and she was the one who advised the Eight Great Families to encourage the people to give up farming and devote their energies to emerald brocade, fur and paper making, and made the Eight Great Families use it as a must. The little grain is used to harvest the silver taels that the people have worked hard to earn.
Therefore, if anyone besides the Eight Great Families knew where the Eight Great Families' granaries were located, that was Cui Fengnian.
Who else would burn down the granaries of the Eight Great Families at this juncture, and only... Cui Fengnian who may be working for the enemy country!
Li Tianjiao clenched his fists tightly, and said loudly: "Come here! Go and capture Cui Fengnian! If you encounter resistance, don't hesitate to kill him!"
"yes!"
The commander of the Xiliang Forbidden Army led five hundred people to the Cui Mansion to arrest Cui Fengnian.
The servants of Cui's mansion woke up from their sleep, and they didn't even put on their clothes. When they went out, they saw the guards with swords holding high torches rushing into Cui's mansion. They were all so frightened that they stood there like quails and dared not move.
"Your Majesty has an order to capture Cui Fengnian as a spy! Where is Cui Fengnian... Hurry up and hand him over!" the commander of the forbidden army shouted loudly.
Amidst the flickering flames, the servants of the Cui Mansion boldly stepped forward and said in a low voice: "My lord...Young Master went to the envoy of the Great Zhou for a banquet last night, but he never came back!"
When the commander of the imperial army heard this, he was stunned. The imperial army did not dare to go to the Da Zhou envoy's place to ask for someone, so they could only send someone back to report to the empress of Xiliang to see how to deal with the matter.
After Li Tianjiao listened, he closed his eyes and sat on the dragon chair for a long time, and finally he figured out what he couldn't figure out before.
This Cui Fengnian might have been sent by Jin. She wanted to use the Eight Great Families to divide Xiliang into a secret operation, but she didn't expect Dazhou to replace Jin. Now Cui Fengnian went to Dazhou's envoy to surrender after he made meritorious service in burning the granary.
She gave a low laugh, feeling exhausted all over her body, she almost couldn't bear it and was overwhelmed, she didn't know what she should do now, what would Aye do if Aye was still there.
After a long while, Li Tianjiao cheered up again and said, "Prepare the car, I'm going to see the envoy of Da Zhou."
Li Tianjiao changed his clothes, went out of the palace lightly and quietly, and decided to meet these two in person for a while.
·
Last night, I heard that the Empress Dowager of Xiliang was seriously ill and might not be able to make it through the night. There was a decree to invite the Zhai family, one of the eight great families, into the palace to entrust her funeral affairs. smell.
Bai Qingqi thought over and over again, and decided to let Bai Jintong come to him in a fair manner. After all, he is now the envoy of Dazhou, and Cui Fengnian used to be a citizen of Jin, but now he is a citizen of Dazhou. It is reasonable for Bai Qingqi to protect Cui Fengnian.
