Chapter 369 Liang Huanyu suddenly took action
"Sir Xu, I heard that a coup had taken place on the grassland. Why wasn't this reported to the court?" His tone was calm, but with a hint of oppression, which made General Xu's heart skip a beat.
You know it so soon?
He originally planned to find his own property, or find a way to make up for it, and then make a concession to the court. After all, if the court sent someone over, his plan would be difficult to carry out in a short period of time.
Unexpectedly, it was Duke Xu who sent the eldest son over.
"Also, why did you leave your post without permission? Jicheng is such an important place, how dare you leave? If His Majesty knew about this, how many heads would you have?"
He turned around suddenly, his words were sharp and his expression was majestic.
In an instant, it seemed as if people saw the shadow of Xu Guogong,
Xu Zongzhen's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he said quickly: "I have already made all the arrangements, which is why I came to Guancheng to look for business opportunities. I want to find a way out for the people of Jicheng!"
He directly turned his selfishness into selflessness.
Xu Yan would not be fooled and sneered, "I didn't know when Mr. Xu took on the position of prefect of Jicheng."
"I dare not!"
"Don't dare? I think you're too bold. Have you thoroughly investigated the matter on the grassland? The emperor has only given us ten days. If you don't have an explanation, then Lord Xu can directly take off his official hat and return to the capital with me to apologize!"
Xu Zongzhen looked up in disbelief: "The emperor knows?"
Didn’t Duke Xu send someone privately?
Xu Yan knew from his expression that he was still holding out hope, and ruthlessly announced the deadline: "Master Xu, there are only five days left in ten days!"
Xu Zongzhen's legs went weak instantly. Asking him to investigate Wang Ting's affairs in five days would be more satisfying than just fighting a war!
Compared with his official position, no business was important, so he immediately prepared to return to Guancheng to find out the truth.
"My Lord, please, Lord, please say a few good words for me!"
Xu Yan smiled faintly: "See you in Guancheng in five days!"
He didn't want to go to Jicheng. Given Lord Xu's love for his official position, he would definitely present a reasonable result in five days, regardless of whether he could find the truth or not!
…
"Young Master, good news!" Liu Qing was always paying attention to Xu Yan's whereabouts, so he naturally told Liang Huanyu about it as soon as possible.
Liang Huanyu was also very happy: "There is no time to lose, let's get started tonight!"
Liu Qing immediately refused: "No!"
In matters like this, it is best not to act in a conflicting manner, and he had already arranged everything, so it would be easy for accidents to happen in emergencies!
Liang Huanyu was displeased: "Guard Liu, my aunt sent you to support me, not to give me orders!"
Liu Qing pursed his lips: "But..."
"No buts!" Liang Huanyu wanted to get rid of the Luo family as soon as possible, and now was the time to move Xu Yan, the chess piece!
So, under the command of Liang Huanyu, Liu Qing could only inform everyone to take action tonight!
Although there were still some areas of unpreparedness, he felt that tonight was just a simple assassination and there shouldn't be any accidents!
…
Mr. Xu's hasty departure surprised many people in Guancheng.
Those who knew his city's intentions thought that the Ming family was doomed this time, but they didn't expect it to be solved so easily?
Master Lin murmured, "It's God's will!"
God is on the side of the Ming family, and their fortune is unstoppable. If they don't cooperate quickly, it would be disrespectful to God.
"Let's go to the Ming family now. We must negotiate a cooperation!"
He suddenly stood up, but was grabbed by the sleeve by Master Wan.
"Hey man, look at the time now! They've already gone to bed. Let's go back tomorrow, early in the morning!"
Master Lin smiled embarrassedly and said, "Look at my brain!"
But then he started to worry, "I don't know if tomorrow will go smoothly. What if the Ming family asks for too much again? Oh, money is so hard to come by these days!"
Hearing this, Master Wan couldn't help but curl his lips. It was normal for an ordinary person to say this.
But if you, the master of the Lin family, one of the four major families in Jiangnan, say this, you will only make people jealous!
"Then you'd better be careful!" Master Wan couldn't help but teasing.
Master Lin's expression tightened: "Is the Ming family really so overbearing?"
Master Wan's face turned serious, and he said solemnly, "Of course. Otherwise, how could the Ming family become equal to you and me in just one year? Moreover, after a trip to the grassland, they knew people who were much more powerful than me. And with the support of Prince Huai's Mansion, who dares to touch them..."
I didn't think there was anything wrong with Mrs. Ming at first, but the more I talked about it, the more I felt something was wrong.
"Oh no, there's a fire!"
Before he could taste the flavor, a loud roar suddenly came from outside, followed by a commotion!
The residents of Huaxiang Building all saw the flames rising into the sky outside.
Master Lin's eyes widened in shock: "Which... courtyards are these?"
Mr. Wan naturally knew that those courtyards were receiving distinguished guests, and he felt that something big might happen.
At this time, in Chunyuan, Xu Yan, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by someone. Before he could see the surrounding scene clearly, he was choked by the thick smoke in the room and could not open his eyes.
"Mr. Xu, don't resist, we are here to save you!"
Xu Yan vaguely heard the words "rescue" and he knew that the situation was urgent. The temperature around him was getting higher and higher, and his three men were trapped.
After the people sent by Zhu Mingqing carried the dead bodies out and placed them in the corner, the fire extinguishers also rushed in.
But these people's first target was Xu Yan's room, and they had sharp knives in their hands.
Seeing this, Xu Yan held his breath and dared not make a sound.
This fire was aimed at him!
But the Xu family in Guancheng asked themselves that they had no enemies, so who else would kill them?
"Master Xu, please pay attention to the guests at Xiayuan!"
Wu Xing whispered something in Xu Yan's ear, then quickly led his men away, without revealing his true identity from beginning to end!
Xu Yan's face was solemn. Someone was following him, but they didn't even notice!
The three subordinates were also very angry.
"You guys protect the eldest young master, I'll go take a look next door!" said the number one subordinate immediately.
"Don't go!" Xu Yan ordered.
Since they dared to attack him in Guancheng, the other party must have known his identity long ago.
He must have brought a lot of people with him. Looking at the few people who rushed over to finish off the enemy at the first moment, they must be the other side's people.
And he asked why he slept so soundly tonight, it seemed that the food had been tampered with.
More and more people gathered in the yard, and buckets of water were poured into the burning room.
Xu Yan looked at the door of his room with a frown on his face, and his three men also noticed it.
Those people never came out after they went in, and there were exactly four of them, no more, no less!
"Young Master?" Subordinate Number One speculated, "Could it be that the people who just saved us... did it?"
Xu Yan also guessed that it was the other party, but he couldn't figure out the other party's identity and why he would help him.
But one thing is certain, those people know who they are.
The yard next door.
Liang Huanyu sat in the room, tapping his fingers quickly on the table, and vaguely heard the sound of fire outside.
"Why haven't you come back yet?" He stood up worriedly, walked slowly to the window, looked at the flames rising into the sky in the distance, and felt that things were not going well.
But it was a sudden decision to take action today.
After all, Mr. Xu is leaving today, who knows if he will come back suddenly?
There are only a few people around Xu Yan, so tonight is the best time to take action.
Liu Qing said calmly: "Don't worry, sir, just wait a little longer!"
Those were all people sent by Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion. Besides, the Xu family members have already eaten, so it's just a matter of finishing them off with a knife, which should be done soon.
But half an hour later, the fire next door was put out, and suddenly news came that four charred corpses were found!
Liang Huanyu suddenly turned his head and looked at Liu Qing intently. What did he say just now? It’s not a big problem?
But how come the bodies were found but the people were nowhere to be found?
"Sir, something bad has happened!"
