Chapter 618 Rebellious Officials and Thieves, Die Well!

Seeing this report, Gao Jiancheng has seen it. That guy from Maolu Mountain Villa is really not a good person. The three major factions have come forward, and they dare to twist it. He is not usually very courageous. Shang Jianxiong messed with that guy Ask for trouble.

From another point of view, it is also a manifestation of ability and confidence. In this way, Gao Jiancheng was relieved.

It is easy for smart people to deal with smart people. He is afraid of running into an idiot. If he really wants to be smashed by the court, he will also be dragged down to death, and what he does secretly will be exposed sooner or later.

Xue Xiao, the scapegoat who was unfavorable in the war, must be blamed. Shang Jianxiong returned to anger, but there was no other way.

It's useless to make an order. The Nanzhou army still insists on the robbery of the Shang Dynasty Zong's woman. They want to clear up the rebels for the court and ask the court to kill Xue Xiao to explain it. Shang Jianxiong can let Xue Xiao take the blame, but it is impossible to kill Xue Xiao, at least not in the near future.

At least he can't be killed because of Nanzhou's request, otherwise the court will say otherwise, and it will chill the hearts of all the officials in the frontier. Once the people's hearts are scattered, they will make their own plans, and the threat will be whether Shang Jianxiong's position is stable or not , so this time Shang Jianxiong will protect Xue Xiao no matter what.

With no other choice, Shang Jianxiong had no choice but to ask the three major factions to come forward again.

When the news spread to the three major sects, Long Xiu was furious, and Niu Youdao dared to do this with him. How could he not be angry?

The three major factions sent a message to Dachan Mountain, ordering an immediate withdrawal.

Dachan Mountain is in a dilemma, back off, the people of the Shang Dynasty Zong line will never retreat, I can't kill them, right? I messed up Nanzhou with my hands, and my interests in Dachan Mountain are overwhelmed. Who is responsible? Who doesn't speak light words? Do you three factions dare to cause great turmoil in Nanzhou?

Dachanshan could only pretend to be confused, anyway, Niu Youdao had agreed earlier, and the responsibility could be pushed on him.

Since there was an appointment first, Dachanshan was not polite, and pushed the responsibility to Niu Youdao, and made a statement to the three major factions, saying that the merchants and horses wear a pair of pants with Niu Youdao, and here the knife holder It's useless on their necks, it's useless!

Niu Youdao also received a summons from the three major factions to withdraw troops.

Niu Youdao's reason is even more absolute, not not to retreat, but to suspend.

The first reason is that the Nanzhou people are searching for the remains of the soldiers who died in battle, and it will take time.

The second reason is that the Nanzhou troops testified that some of the soldiers were captured by Xue Xiao's troops, and Xue Xiao was asked to hand them over, so that they could speed up their retreat.

The first reason is easy to handle, the big deal is waiting.

The second reason is that ghosts can’t even explain it. How can people not die in a war? Xue Xiao handed over the person, where did Xue Xiao hand over the person?

Xue Xiao said that it was useless if he didn't catch them. The Nanzhou troops were killed or they were arrested by Xue Xiao, and the three major factions were required to uphold justice. Since the war has ceased and since I was asked to withdraw, why didn't Xue Xiao let them go?

This means that there are strategies above and countermeasures below.

Of course, there is another one. Niu Youdao said that he has a large number of witnesses in his hands. It is true that the imperial court sent people to attack the Maolu Mountain Villa. The garrison and monks together killed and injured more than 10,000 people. Do we deserve to die?

what's the situation? The two heads of Zijin Cave and Lingjian Mountain rushed to Xiaoyao Palace immediately.

Of course the two headmen wanted to find Long Xiu. Long Xiu was the one who took the initiative to go to the thatched villa to take care of it. Is this the one you Long Xiu took care of?

The two masters must ask Long Xiu to clarify.

After Long Xiu got angry, he also calmed down. It's okay if he doesn't calm down. Niu Youdao and people from Ling Xiao Pavilion and Tiannv Sect sworn to him. He witnessed it with his own eyes. If he really wanted to drive Nanzhou back, the whole Yan Kingdom couldn't stand it.

Niu Youdao agreed to the truce to give face to the three major factions, but if he refused to withdraw his troops, he asked the three major factions for an explanation.

At the beginning, Niu Youdao had already made it clear what he should say. The court repeatedly shot him and put him to death, so forget it? Is it wrong to seek justice from the three major factions? If this is really the case, then Niu Youdao's words should be fulfilled, wouldn't he be given a way out?

What would be the consequences of not giving the cow a way to live? Needless to say?

As for how Long Xiu explained to Zijin Cave and Lingjian Mountain, Niu Youdao had told him long ago that Shang Jianxiong had gone too far. It's time to teach me a lesson.

The other thing is, are you really going to force Nanzhou to rebel?

The court made a mistake first, and it is reasonable for people to ask for an explanation, but how to give this explanation is a problem.

It was inappropriate to dispose of Shang Jianxiong, and the three leaders discussed and discussed, but it could only be clearly shown in front of them, to teach Shang Jianxiong a lesson, and assign the three counties of Dingzhou to Nanzhou.

It is conceivable that this matter will inevitably cause Shang Jianxiong to rebound violently.

So Long Xiu, the head of Xiaoyao Palace, Gong Lince, the head of Zijin Cave, and Meng Xuan, the head of Lingjian Mountain, all came to Dayan Palace in person.

After learning about the decision of the three factions, Shang Jianxiong was shocked. How could he agree to such a condition?

No matter who is responsible for the incident, he knows in his heart, and everyone knows who caused it. If he agrees to this humiliating condition, what is the majesty of the emperor? One can imagine how many people would poke him in the back, ridicule or laugh at him.

In the main hall, facing the heads of the three sects, Shang Jianxiong tensed his cheeks, and said word by word: "This condition, I can't agree to it!"

Gong Lince and Meng Xuan's eyes suddenly became cold, and they stared at Shang Jianxiong coldly.

Silence, Tian Yu and the others who stood with their hands tied were silent, and could feel the suddenly depressing atmosphere in the hall.

"What did you say?" Long Xiu stepped forward slowly, facing him face to face at close range.

Tian Yu and other eunuchs were startled, including Ga Miaoshui, they all quickly stepped up behind Shang Jianxiong, staring at Long Xiu closely, maintaining a high level of vigilance.

A group of monks sitting in the imperial palace immediately stepped forward, pointing at Tian Yu and others and berating, "Presumptuous, step back!"

Tian Yu and the others were indifferent, but Shang Jianxiong turned his head and waved his hands, "Everyone back down."

He knew in his heart that if he really wanted to do something, Tian Yu and the others wouldn't be able to protect themselves.

Tian Yu and the others could only back away slowly with serious expressions.

Long Xiu stared at Shang Jianxiong, and said word by word: "What if we insist on asking you to agree?"

Shang Jianxiong: "I will never agree to making concessions to rebellious ministers. If I want my widow to agree, you might as well kill me!"

Long Xiu sneered, "Now that you know you're going to die or live, why didn't you say that when you were sneaking behind our backs? Why didn't you say that when you begged us to make peace? Now that Dayan is surrounded by foreign enemies, you, the emperor, don't want to retreat , but busy in internal strife, what do you want to do?"

Shang Jianxiong: "Why are you being sneaky? Someone maliciously framed the widow, how can the palace master believe it? If it refers to the matter of the thatched cottage, the widow doesn't know anything! Send an explanation!"

"Do you want people to take the blame?" Long Xiu snorted, and took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, which was the account written by Shang Jianxiong to the three major factions earlier, "some things don't need evidence, who did it, everyone You know it well, don’t use these things to fool me. If you promise today, you have to agree. If you don’t agree, you, the emperor, have done it!”

Snapped! The paper in Long Xiu's hand directly hit Shang Jianxiong's face.

Shang Jianxiong stood there indifferently, and said slowly: "The widow has been in Dayan for nearly 20 years, I killed the widow, and Dayan is in turmoil, and it is in danger!" This is also a warning to the three major factions.

"You dare to threaten my palace?" Long Xiu sneered for a while, tilted his head slightly and ordered: "Your Majesty is about to abdicate, go and invite the crown prince to take over the father's throne, and formally visit the Great Yan, commanding all the officials to stabilize the hearts of the government ! I don’t believe that with the support of my three major sects, how can the court go into chaos!”

The words that the crown prince succeeded to the throne instantly hit Shang Jianxiong's weakness, causing Shang Jianxiong's cheeks to twitch violently.

This is also one of the reasons why Emperor Hao Yunsheng of the Qi State was reluctant to establish a crown prince.

In the end, Shang Jianxiong succumbed to the three major factions' threats.

It was Tian Yu who knew what he was thinking, judged the situation, came forward at the right time, knelt down in front of Shang Jianxiong and begged, and got Shang Jianxiong to agree to cede the three counties to Nanzhou.

The turbulent waves that were about to rise subsided in an instant. From the beginning to the end, Gong Lince and Meng Xuan basically didn't say a word.

Thanks to the fact that the heads of the three major sects came together in person, they had the full authority to make decisions on behalf of the three major sects, otherwise others would really be unable to suppress Shang Jianxiong.

After Shang Jianxiong agreed, Tian Yu asked the three major factions to make a compromise, saving a little face for Emperor Yan.

The cession of the three counties was not made public, and Xue Xiao of Dingzhou was notified in the form of a secret decree, and Nanzhou silently guarded the area currently controlled by the two armies.

Just as the Golden Wings were released here to send a message to Dingzhou, a disciple from Zijin Cave outside the hall ran in.

A secret letter was handed over to the head. After reading it, Gong Lince's face changed slightly, and he frowned.

Almost at the same time, an eunuch from outside the hall stepped in and handed an urgent report to Tian Yu.

After Tian Yu saw it, he said to Shang Jianxiong with a livid face: "Your Majesty, Cangzhou urgently reports that Cangzhou Governor Wu Gongshan suddenly fell ill and passed away!"

Shang Jianxiong glanced at Gong Lince, and said indifferently: "Rebellious officials and thieves, die well!"

Meng Xuan, head of Lingjian Mountain, looked back at Gong Lince, and asked, "There are so many monks around Wu Gongshan to help recuperate, how could he die suddenly?"

"I'm afraid something will happen to Cangzhou." Gong Lince looked solemn, and handed the letter in his hand to Meng Xuan.

Hearing that something was going to happen, Long Xiu immediately leaned forward and stood side by side to watch together. The two of them were terrified when they read the contents of the letter.

Qu Yunkong, head of Tongxian Pavilion, was assassinated and died!

Tongxian Pavilion is the practice force guarding Cangzhou.

Almost at the same time, Wu Gongshan, the governor of Cangzhou, died of illness, and the head of the Tongxian Pavilion was assassinated again. The leaders of the Cangzhou practice world and secular world died almost at the same time. How could it be such a coincidence, especially when Qu Yunkong was assassinated.

And this Qu Yunkong also has another identity, his wife is the daughter of the former head of Zijindong, and Tongxian Pavilion can be said to be a sect supported by Zijindong.
