Chapter 568 Action

The Zou Mansion was brightly lit, and officials with different thoughts gathered together, whispering the so-called insider information they knew, guessing what Zou You were going to have a banquet tonight. But to be honest, no one of the people present expected that Zou You's wife was Liu Yiyi, one of the four famous actors in Anping.

This news was a heavy blow to the young officials. No wonder Zou You was not close to nvsè when he was here. It turned out that his taste was ripped off, and ordinary vulgar powder was no longer visible to him.

As Zou You's wife, Liu Yiyi came out to meet everyone and returned to the back hall, without any more. The officials regretted her and sighed in her heart: "The good cabbage is called Zhu Gong."

With envy, jealousy and hatred, many officials present turned their attention to Zou You, who was chatting and laughing with everyone. Zou You tonight was a little different from usual. He was usually taciturn and became very talkative at this moment. But if you think carefully about what he said, you will find that he said it very empty, and there was nothing useful.

At the middle of the banquet, some officials who were unable to hold back began to speak out to test Zou You, but Zou You seemed to be a yellow fish, very smooth and always answered questions perfunctorily to test his officials. As the leader of those officials, the Minister of Finance Liu Qian simply told Zou You. "I said, Lord Zou, what's wrong with calling us tonight? It's impossible to just announce to us that you married Liu Yiyi as your wife, right?"

"Why did Lord Liu say that? I'm really planning to tell you about my marriage tonight, and there is no other meaning."

"Mr. Zou, the wise man does not do secret things. I will not tell you anything false. I will ask you, Feng Yang's army is now outside the city, and I don't know when it will come in. With the current guardian power of Luoxing City, it is absolutely impossible to defend. I don't know what kind of way to deal with this matter?" Liu Qian continued.

"I wonder what Lord Liu has to do?" Zou You asked with a smile.

As if encouraged by Zou You's smile, Liu Qian replied directly: "It's not to be hiding the good birds choose trees to live in. I do have the idea of ​​seeking Feng Yang. I just have the hardships that I can't get on the line with Feng Yang. And I think everyone here has the same thoughts as me."

A sentence immediately made everyone silent, and many officials looked at Liu Qian with horror. Just think about this kind of thing in your heart, but there is no reason to put it in public. Because once it fails, it will be a disaster for the family scout and exterminate the clan. All the officials subconsciously stayed away from Liu Qian and kept a certain distance from Liu Qian.

"Mr. Liu, aren't you afraid that I will order someone to arrest you? I am the temporary city guard whom Your Majesty stayed before leaving. I have Your Majesty's sword in my hand, and the right to take action first and then report." Zou You looked at Liu Qian with a playful face and asked.

"I'm afraid. But life is hard to fight a few times. I don't want to be Long Shouyi's burial. The only way to survive is to seek life in death." Liu Qian said helplessly to Zou You.

"Then I'm sorry to tell you that I'm not like you thought. The person who came, take down Liu Qian and detained him temporarily. After His Majesty comes back, he will be dealt with by His Majesty."

Zou You's order was delivered, and all the officials present were stunned. No one expected that things would develop like this. Looking at the soldiers rushing in, the timid one sat directly on the ground.

"Look at everyone here, no one is allowed to leave the scene. If anyone leaves without authorization, he will be killed." Zou You ordered Luo Ya, the commander of the soldiers, in a calm tone.

"Yes, sir. I have ordered people to guard all the important roads, and these people will never be able to leave." Luo Ya answered loudly while squeezing his eyes at Zou You.

The banquet continued, and the delicious food that tasted delicious just now was chewed in his mouth but it tasted like chewing wax. Zou You had already left the table, and he had something else to do. In order to facilitate Lord Feng Yang to enter the city, there is another force that must be eliminated.

Qingshe, Long Shouyi, was arranged to be Luoxing's backhand when he left. As the supreme leader of Qingshe, Fan Jianren usually served as Long Shouyi's personal deputy captain, and Nilu was his immediate superior. Now Nilu was jealous of others because of his jealousy, Fan Jianren took the initiative to become the captain of the imperial guards who stayed in Luoxing to guard the imperial city.

After learning that Zou You had something to look for him, Fan Jianren was a little puzzled at the time. He was not familiar with Zou You. What did he come to him for doing at this time? Could it be that he wanted to convince himself to join Feng Yang with him?

With questions, Fan Jianren met Zou You in his office. He was not afraid that Zou You would assassinate him. He was practicing martial arts at least, and Zou You's ability... except for his mind, he couldn't use his hands. His sword skills were similar to those used by killing. If he was injured by Zou You's sword skills, he wouldn't let him die.

"Mr. Zou, I wonder if I have something to come to me so late to find me?" Fan Jianren asked with a gentle look on his face.

"To be honest, something big happened, Lord Fan. Just now, I got the news that because of the arrival of Feng Yang's army, some ministers in the city saw that the situation was not good, so they deliberately changed the courtyard. Now they are discussing the specific action plan in the Yinfenglou in the city. I am alone and I am alone, and everyone comes here to find Lord Fan to help me."

Fan Jianren was happy when he heard this. He was thinking about finding excuses to kill a few officials with bad intentions in the past two days to shock the officials. But he was just a deputy commander of the Imperial Guards and had no suitable reason to attack the officials. Now, Zou You is in front of him to protect himself from the wind and rain. He just needs to hold up the butcher knife and swing it hard.

Fan Jianren, who had no doubt that he did not want to spend time, immediately ordered the troops to gather, followed Zou You, and rushed straight to Yinfeng Tower with murderous intent.

Yinfeng Tower, to put it bluntly, is a brothel. When Fan Jianren arrived at Yinfeng Tower, he found that the brightly lit Yinfeng Tower was dark at this time.

"What's going on?" Fan Jianren said to himself in wonder.

Soon, the old man from Yinfenglou was found by Fan Jianren's subordinates. When he saw Fan Jianren, the old man quickly said apologetically: "Oh, Lord Fan, it was really a coincidence that Yinfenglou was conquered by several guests. Otherwise, Lord Fan would come again tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow? The yellow food is cold tomorrow." Fan Jianren snorted coldly, grabbed Lao Feng's arm and asked, "Lao Feng, I ask you, who is the guest who is the one who has booked you to inspire Fenglou today?"

"This... Lord Fan, every line has its own rules. Unless the slave family no longer sits in the future, we will not be able to leak the secrets of the guests. Please forgive me, Lord Fan."

"I'm sorry! Tell me quickly! If you don't say it, I will order someone to burn your nest in a fire." Fan Jianren threatened the old man.

"This... don't, don't, say something, Lord Fan, don't burn my yard."

"Speak quickly!" Fan Jianren urged.

"This..." Lao Feng looked at Zou You who was begging for help. Seeing this, Zou You stepped forward and advised: "Mr. Fan, don't be chewing the old Feng anymore. Look at her, I'll come up with a compromise. Lao Feng doesn't have to tell us the identity of the guests. Just point them to us in which room they are in now, and we'll see it ourselves. In this way, you won't be considered as leaking the secrets of the guests and not violating the rules of your business."

"This... well, please don't tell others what happened today to others in the future." The old man gritted his teeth and nodded to Zou You. After thinking about it, his own yard is still important. As for the rules, go see his ghost.

"Two adults, those guests turned left in the third room on the second floor. But what makes people wonder is that they did not ask the girl to come in and wait. A group of big men stayed in the room, and I don't know if they all liked to walk dry roads..."

When Zou You heard that the old man was getting less and less sensible, he quickly interrupted and told him: "Okay, don't talk nonsense. Remember, don't tell anyone about what tonight. Only by keeping your own mouths in mind can you live long."

"Yes, yes." Lao Feng was so scared by Zou You's words that nodded repeatedly, and ran back to his room.

When the old man was gone, Zou You said to Fan Jianren: "Mr. Fan, I will give you the rest. I will say goodbye first."

"Well? Lord Zou won't act with me?"

"No, now is a time of crisis, so I'd better not be too arrogant for the time being. We will pull out all those who have bad intentions in the open and dark."

"...Okay, that brother, I will take advantage of Lord Zou this time."

"You are kind to me. Say goodbye."

“Not giving.”

When Zou You left in a carriage, Fan Jianren's face changed, and his fierce opponent ordered: "Roar up and capture those rebels who intend to betray His Majesty alive." After that, Fan Jianren rushed to the second floor first, with his subordinates following closely behind.

"Clang" kicked the room and saw several people in the room preparing to jump out of the window and escape. When they saw Fan Jianren rushed in, they screamed and jumped out of the window together. Unfortunately, the window was so big that only one person could enter and exit. The four of them squeezed to the window together, but were caught by the window at the same time.

Seeing such a funny scene, Fan Jianren couldn't help laughing. He stepped forward and prepared to take down these four fools who were in a panic.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to the window, Fan Jianren stretched out his hand to one of them, and he felt a white light flash in front of him, and his right hand that was stretched out was broken by Qigen. The huge pain made Fan Jianren roar and he was about to retreat immediately. At this time, the four people who were originally crowded at the window had already come down from the window and rushed out soft swords wrapped around their waists and attacked Fan Jianren. Fan Jianren hurriedly avoided the dodge. Unfortunately, the four people cooperated tacitly, Fan Jianren dodged the first two swords, but when the third sword attacked, he had no way to avoid it. A big head left his neck and fell to the ground. A stream of blood gushed out from Fan Jianren's neck choking, and the scene was extremely bloody.

As Fan Jianren entered the house, everyone was already stunned. From Fan Jianren's attack to his death, it was less than 30 seconds in total. When Fan Jianren's men wanted to come forward to rescue him, Fan Jianren had already fallen to the ground and the dead body fell to the ground. The sound of the corpse falling to the ground woke up the people who were still stunned. Everyone's eyes immediately turned red and they drew their swords to besiege the four assassins. It was at this time, even fools could guess that the matter in front of them was a trap. Which civilian official could use such a killer-like skill? If so, then they would not have to live.

Fan Jianren's men were besieging four assassins in the room, and the people who were staying downstairs were also in trouble. Zou You, who had returned, looked murderous and loudly ordered the city defense army: "Fan Jianren, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, intends to rebel, and the evidence is conclusive. Now take him and his accomplices together. If there is any resistance, kill him or her."

"You dare, the surname Zou, my master is the supreme leader of Qingshe. If you dare to touch us, my master will definitely make you unable to eat." A loyal fan Jianren threatened Zou You.

"Hmph, I have the sword given to you by Your Majesty, and the right to behead first and then report. You are waiting for the following crimes and intend to arrest you. If you come, you will be killed without mercy."

Compared with the City Defense Force, the Imperial Guard guarding the Imperial City is equivalent to the master soldiers. After just one encounter, the Imperial Guard's master soldiers were killed and injured, while the City Defense Force only had a few minor injuries. Of course, this is also due to weapons and equipment. Fan Jianren and others thought that this time they were just a few weak scholars, and there was no need to pierce armor. As a result, these people were only wearing cloth clothes, and the heavy armor that could protect them was not worn.

It is precisely for this reason that the Imperial Guards' resistance was not very strong. At the same time, they heard someone on the second floor calling Fan Jianren killed. The Imperial Guards' morale fell to the bottom of the valley, and they honestly surrendered, becoming a prisoner of the city defense force.

While counting the battlefield, Zou You said to Lei Ming, the city defense general next to him: "Mr. Lei, let me speak with you."

Lei Ming was not sure, so he followed Zou You to a remote corner on the second floor. Then he heard Zou You say to himself: "Mr. Lei, tell you a bad news, you have caused a big trouble."

"Ah?" Lei Ming was shocked when he heard this and said quickly: "Don't joke, Lord Zou, I am so timid that I can't resist being scared."

"I didn't lie to you, you did cause trouble. Kill Long Shouyi who was deliberately staying in Luoxing to monitor all officials. When Long Shouyi comes back, will Lord Lei think Long Shouyi will let you go?"

As Zou You asked, Lei Ming sweated his forehead and asked Zou You with a sad and angry expression: "Mr. Zou, you and I have no grudges in the past, and there are no grudges in the past, why did you frame me?"

"Mr. Lei said this. I won't harm you. I'm obviously helping you."

"Help me? I'll urge me to kill the important person left by Your Majesty on Luoxing, and I'll call me help me?" Lei Ming glared at Zou You angrily, holding the hilt of the sword in his hand. Dayou couldn't give an answer that convinced him, so he just slashed him to death with one sword.

"Mr. Lei, don't be impulsive. Listen to me slowly. I'll ask you, do you think Long Shouyi can fight Feng Yang's attack?" Zou You asked Lei Ming without changing his face.

“Oh…”

Seeing Lei Ming hesitating, Zou You quickly struck while the iron was hot and continued to ask: "Mr. Lei, are you willing to work hard for Long Shouyi? He is a person who does not value you, so why do you have to be buried with him?"

"What you said is wrong, Your Majesty still attaches great importance to me."

"Is that true? If you pay attention, you will be the deputy commander of the city defense force. Usually, you will command three or five hundred people to maintain Luoxing's public order. Many people younger than you have risen, but you just missed you. If you think this treatment is important, then your heart will be too broad." Zou You said with disdainful contempt.

Lei Ming was speechless, so he heard Zou You continue saying, "Tell you the truth, Lord Lei. Actually, I have decided to surrender to Feng Yang. Because my father and wife still have sons whom I have never met before are all in Feng Yang, I want to reunite with them."

"If you want to reunite, just leave. Why do you have to do these things?" Lei Ming asked with a wry smile.

"If I could leave safely, I would have left long ago. But Lord Lei, don't forget how Long Shouyi treated the officials who were unwilling to serve him anymore and asked to resign. Do you really think that the deaths of those officials were accidental?" Zou You said this and suddenly said angrily.

"Isn't this... not?"

"Of course not. I also tell you that the people responsible for assassinating those officials are the people we caught this time, Long Shouyi's minions and the green snake."

"Green Snake?"

"Yes, Long Shouyi has established a secret organization, specially used to monitor all officials. At that time, I and many colleagues strongly opposed Long Shouyi's suggestion, but unfortunately, he still did not listen to our advice and secretly established this organization that would make the king and his ministers disunited."

"You mean there are green snakes near my home?"

"Yes. I accidentally captured a senior official from the Green Snake before. From his mouth, I knew how big the Green Snake was. I also got a list of members of the Green Snake in Luoxing City."

"Mr. Zou, are there anyone in my family on that list?" Lei Ming asked angrily. Anyone who was monitored would be unhappy.

"This... I'm sorry, there is it at home." Zou You replied slowly.

"Who is it?"

"..." Zou You looked at Lei Ming without saying anything.

Lei Ming was stunned, then understood, nodded to Zou You and said, "Mr. Zou, since he is not righteous, don't care about me, Lei Ming's unrighteousness. Since he has never believed me from beginning to end, I can't make any effort for him. Mr. Zou, just say, just give me instructions."

"Okay, it's really good. Actually, there are not many things to do. Now most of the officials in the city have been invited to the mansion for house arrest by me in the name of a banquet, and Long Shouyi's secret hand arranged by Luo Xing has been removed by us. The rest is Kaicheng Mén and let the Fengyang Army enter the city. I have contacted them. In another half an hour, as long as Lord Lei brings people to open the Nancheng Mén, the matter will be completed successfully."

"I'll go to Kaicheng, where are you, Lord Zou?"

"I want to bring people back to my house to persuade those officials to surrender so that they can't give us some luàn in the future."

"... Then I, Lei Ming, feel ashamed of taking this credit. If you have something to help in the future, please just speak up."

"That's natural. Without further ado, Lord Lei should hurry up and prepare. It would be better to eliminate the unstable factors in the city defense force first. I have a list of members of the Green Snake. You should take it to you."
