Jiang Yang seemed to be amused by Su Daocheng's words, and he bent over and laughed.
But the laughter was inevitably a little ferocious, and it made people shudder.
"It seems that Your Majesty is a forgetful person. Have you forgotten the Lingnan Jiang family, whose property you confiscated thirty-five years ago?"
Jiang Yang slowly put away the smile on his face and stared at him hatefully, as if if looks could kill, Su Daocheng would be dead now.
Su Daocheng was stunned for a moment, "Lingnan Jiang Family?"
Then he seemed to remember something and his expression turned grim.
Jiang Yang sneered a few times, "Yes, the Lingnan Jiang family! We used to live a good life.
You need money to repair the canal, and you force us to pay again and again.
My family has three generations of honest officials, but we only accumulated some family wealth because of my second uncle's business.
But in the end, it was all ruined because of you!
But you were never satisfied. Not only did you dismiss my father from his official position, you also confiscated the little property our family had left!
This is simply the biggest joke in the world!
Not only did my father die of a serious illness, but my mother was also killed!
"Dog Emperor, tell me! Should I hate you?"
Jiang Yang's voice was extremely shrill, and his eyes were red, as if he was thinking about all the bullying he had suffered over the years.
After hearing this, Su Daocheng was stunned for a moment, then gave Jiang Yang a sarcastic look.
"If that's the case, I can only say that you are the one who is most confused!
I remember what you said about the Jiang family. When I first ascended the throne, I personally went to Lingnan to deal with the flood that occurred at that time.
At that time, it was your father who arranged the people to help.
It's a pity that your father had evil thoughts about me and even stuffed a woman into my room in the middle of the night!
That's fine, I had no intention of getting into a fight with your father.
But the granary that should have been full of food is empty. Tell me, does this count as your father's dereliction of duty?
I asked your father for money for disaster relief, but I was also giving him another chance.
It’s a pity that he is always reluctant to give up too much.
I had no choice but to handle the matter impartially, and ended up finding a fortune in the home of your so-called honest official!
Don’t tell me that was earned by your second uncle. At that time, everyone in Lingnan knew that your second uncle was uneducated and his business was a mess.
If your father didn't need him as a shield and help him everywhere, his business would have collapsed long ago!
Over the years, I have always remembered this incident, not only because it was the first major matter I handled, but also because it was the first time I began to pay attention to the political achievements of local officials.
You have resented me for so many years, but you have never tried to understand the truth of the matter. You just think that what you know is the truth.
Not only are you short-sighted, but you are also vicious and cruel, stirring up such a big dispute for your own selfish desires.
Those people outside will pay the price for your greed."
Su Daocheng became angrier and angrier as he spoke.
If the Jiang family had not embezzled the grain from the granary, so many innocent people would not have been killed or injured!
He was thinking about it as the first thing he did after taking office, so he didn't kill them all. But instead of being grateful, they resented him. It was outrageous!
Jiang Yang was dumbfounded and didn't believe what Su Daocheng said at all.
"No, everything you said is a lie! Impossible! Impossible! Those people clearly respected my father very much!
Impossible, I won't believe a word you say!
You are going to die anyway, so no one will ever care about what you say.
The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Your life is already in my hands.
I advise you to tell your sons and the guards outside to stop, otherwise I can't guarantee what I will do."
Su Daocheng was not panicked at all. In order to completely expose all of Jiang Yang's men, he refused to say another word.
Jiang Yang was not surprised to see him like this, but instead chuckled.
"Oh, I see you won't cry until you see the coffin. You don't think you can do anything to me with just those guards outside, do you?
You are truly delusional! If that is the case, then I will let you see with your own eyes how you are defeated, and how I successfully ascend to the throne! "
After Jiang Yang finished speaking, he whistled outside, and soon the sound of swords clashing could be heard from outside.
Su Daocheng pursed his lips, frowned, and remained silent.
After that, about every quarter of an hour or so, someone would come to report to Jiang Yang.
"Master, the north gate has been successfully captured. We have successfully occupied the north gate of the imperial palace."
…
"Master, the South Gate has also been successfully captured. We have occupied the South Gate of the Imperial Palace."
…
"Master, the East Gate..."
Gradually, all four gates of the palace were captured by two groups of people. Now the royal family was like a turtle caught in a jar, in a very embarrassing situation.
Jiang Yang laughed uncontrollably, "Hahahaha, Su Daocheng, you finally lost! I, I finally got my revenge!!"
Soon, Su Jingsheng and his brothers, who had been resisting stubbornly, were successfully captured. They were grabbed by the shoulders and taken into the imperial study.
"Father, are you okay? Don't be sad, we didn't embarrass you!
The worst that can happen is death, we will never surrender!"
"Yes, Father, we still have some backbone!"
Su Daocheng looked at them with relief, "You are all good children. I am relieved."
Jiang Yang couldn't stand this kind of drama of affection between father and son, and immediately pointed his sword at Su Jingsheng.
"Su Daocheng, you no longer have any choice. Immediately write the imperial edict to pass the throne to Su Jingyao!
Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
Then he waved outside through the window, and soon a group of concubines were brought outside the imperial study.
They were already terrified, and were crying and begging for help and mercy, which made people feel very upset.
Su Daocheng lowered his head slightly and turned to look at Xiao Lingling. The two exchanged glances.
Soon, accompanied by the sound of a flare arrow that resounded through the air, a firework exploded in the air.
Although it doesn't look dazzling enough during the day, it's enough.
Xiao Lingling suddenly attacked, pulled out a dagger from her waist and threw it towards Jiang Yang.
Although Jiang Yang reacted quickly enough, he was still stabbed in the shoulder by the dagger, and he gasped in pain.
He stared at Xiao Lingling with cold eyes, "You actually hurt me!
Come on, since they don’t cooperate, kill them all, don’t hold back!
Anyway, when you are all dead, I can find any excuse for Su Jingyao to inherit smoothly, so you can go with peace of mind!"
After saying that, all the men in black in the room started moving, each of them attacking with ruthless and deadly moves.
But the secret guards who had been "knocked out" and tied up by his subordinates also woke up at once, turned around and counterattacked, and directly destroyed the skills of those men in black.
In just one encounter, more than half of the men in black brought by Jiang Yang were killed. The ground was covered with blood and wailing was heard everywhere.
