Confusing

Jianye City is full of patrolling soldiers.

All suspicious persons were questioned one by one, and the people hid in their homes and did not dare to go out.

However, no matter how much I checked, no clues were found. These assassins seemed to appear out of thin air.

Wang Jun's search intensity was repeatedly intensified, but still nothing was found.

"There's no way there are no clues!" Pang Qing glanced sideways at Wang Jun, "Unless it's one of his own!"

Wang Jun frowned. He couldn't escape his involvement in the assassination of the prince. Rumors have been circulating in Jianye recently, saying that the assassin was sent by him, Wang Jun, with the intention of driving away the prince and separatist Jiangdong!

Wang Jun was so frightened that he was so frightened that he lost his soul.

He had already offended many people in Shandong, and the prince was not very close to him. At this time, rumors were spreading, which was simply killing him.

Wang Jun even felt that the assassination was aimed at him.

It is false to assassinate the prince, but it is true to take his life!

"Servant Pang, be careful what you say!" Wang Jun didn't like Pang Qing very much.

There is a dark aura about this man. Who knows what the Xuanyi Division and the Zhenfu Division do?

Today's words were clearly directed at me.

"Haha, Governor Wang, there is no need to make such a fuss. In the past few years, the Qin Dynasty has swallowed up the Central Plains and Jiangdong, and it is extremely common for some people with ulterior motives to mix in!" Pang Qing's eyes wandered around Wang Jun.

Wang Jun snorted coldly and said no more.

Although Pang Qing was a close minister of the emperor, he was not bad himself. The emperor still trusted him, otherwise he would not have entrusted the entire Jiangdong to him.

Pang Qing felt bored and resigned.

The entire Jiangdong seemed to be in panic.

The North and the South had been divided for decades, and the war finally subsided. A kind prince came, but another assassination occurred.

People who visit the prince almost cross the threshold of Jianye Mansion Office.

As the crown prince of the Qin Dynasty, he was certainly qualified to live in the Wu Kingdom Palace. However, in order to avoid suspicion and to facilitate the handling of Jiangdong government affairs, Yang Xu moved directly into the government office.

These days are at the cusp of the storm, and Yang Xu and his subordinates are staying behind closed doors.

The soldiers of the Qin army guarded the mansion on three floors outside and on the third floor, and strictly checked everyone entering and leaving.

The prince's daily drinking water, food, and clothing are all taken care of by dedicated personnel.

"The wealthy families in Jiangdong have long been stripped of their claws by the Xuanyi Division, and they are under strict surveillance by the Zhenfu Division. It should be treated as if it was not their fault!" Zhang Guite.

Under Pang Qing's various shady methods, Jiangdong's wealthy families had already obeyed and gathered around Yang Xu, while those who disobeyed had long been secretly eradicated.

"Perhaps the other party's intention is not really an assassination!" Tao Kan said quietly.

"Not an assassination?" Zhang Gui was stunned.

Wen Ji, Bei Gongchun, Zhou Chu, Lu Ji and others all turned their attention to Tao Kan.

Yang Xu lowered his gaze. There were some things that others couldn't see. He knew very well that none of the royal brothers were efficient. The boss, Yang Yi, was extremely brave. Although he had been guarding the Xia Kingdom thousands of miles away in these years, I have never forgotten the Central Plains. When the emperor's grandson Yang Jing entered Beijing, the occasion was unprecedented.

The second eldest son, Yang Wu, was married to the Hongnong Yang family. Although these people kept a low profile, they held considerable power. After being sealed in Shandong, Shandong scholars also came to visit one after another.

There is also the third eldest son, Yang Hong, who takes the celebrity route and has an increasingly close relationship with the Central Plains gentry.

The younger brothers at the back are not ordinary people either.

The children of the Yang family have all been tempered in the Qingying camp, so they are no longer a loser.

The world is unified, but the struggle is far from over and will never stop. It's just a different way.

It is impossible for Yang Xu to be without pressure.

Yang Zheng sent him to conquer the south, and of course he knew his intention.

Sooner or later the eagle will soar.

Zhang Guijie: "It's not an assassination, what's the purpose of it? Is it possible that you want to give His Highness a show of strength?"

Tao Kan said: "Separation!"

"Eliminate?" Yang Xu poured himself a cup of tea, and just as he was about to drink it, the guard on the side took it and took a sip first.

"Exactly, if something happens to His Highness, how can Your Majesty be willing to let it go? The other party wants to use the assassination to drive a wedge between His Highness and the Jiangdong scholars!" Tao Kan said, cupping his hands.

With that said, the context of the matter gradually became clear.

There is no doubt that whoever the prince is close to will rise in the future.

The wealthy families in Jiangdong need to cling to the prince. Don’t the gentry in Shandong and the Central Plains gentry need to borrow the prince’s shareholding?

The Emperor of Qin deeply hated the powerful nobles, and the powerful nobles also stayed away from the emperor, so their target turned to the second generation of Great Qin!

For hundreds of years, the gentry has been like this, infiltrating from generation to generation and moving forward from generation to generation.

This game between the gentry and the imperial power has begun since the Eastern Han Dynasty and will continue forever.

"I know it!" Yang Xu sighed, the complexity of this assassination far exceeded expectations.

"Then what should we do now? Are we so indifferent?" Wen Ji said angrily.

"If it involves the dispute between the northern and southern gentry, it will be beyond the control of His Highness. If a tree is as beautiful as the forest, the wind will destroy it. Your Highness must be careful." Zhang Gui is the oldest and knows the dangers best.

The prince is not a sure thing.

Moreover, the emperor was in the prime of life and was full of many variables.

This time going south, Yang Xu lost some of his childishness and became more mature and steady, "I just want to do something practical for the world, let Jiangdong integrate into the Qin Dynasty as soon as possible, and let the people enjoy peace as soon as possible. I didn't expect that it would involve so many things."

"

"That's why Your Highness needs to take care of yourself! For the sake of the Qin Dynasty and for the sake of all the people in the world!" Zhang Gui cupped his hands and said.

Tao Kan said: "Your Highness is kind and virtuous. It is not a bad idea to take a step back at this time. The affairs in Jiangdong will be presided over by the King and Governor. Your Highness should not be away from His Majesty for a long time, lest others take advantage of you!"

The word "others" is used quite delicately.

Everyone present can understand it.

Yang Xu nodded, "Father's edict arrived yesterday. Please make preparations and return to the capital with me."

When the trip started, the streets in Jianye were deserted.

The people helped the old and brought the young to see each other off, "Why don't Your Highness stay a few more days?"

"Your Highness will abandon Jiangdong?"

Many people cried and shouted.

Jiangdong has been devastated for a long time, and the people are even more miserable. Since Zhuge Ke's rise in Puyang, there have been heavy corvee labor, and hundreds of thousands of people have gone to the north at every turn, all of which have been supported by the people.

Just imagine.

After Yang Xu entered Jiangdong, he sympathized with the people, provided relief for famines, cleaned up unjust prisons, and got rid of all the bad policies since Zhonghui. All these measures were quite effective and quickly won the hearts of Jiangdong.

However, all good things come to an end, and Yang Xu cannot stay in Jiangdong forever.

He has a broader world.

Yang Xu, who was in the carriage, heard the shouts outside and felt a burst of emotion in his heart.

In fact, he did not do much, and many things were just the beginning, but he received such support from the people, which further strengthened his determination to make the people of Qin rich and healthy.

However, for safety reasons, Yang Xu never came out to say goodbye to the people.

If something happens to him, the people of Jiangdong will also suffer.

After ten miles out of Jianye City, the people began to go back one after another.

Yang Xu then stepped out of the carriage and bowed to Jianye as a return gift.
