early morning.

Su Yuan woke up feeling refreshed.

He asked the soldiers to interrogate the servants of Dongfu, and they told everything they knew.

There is no other way. Do they know that Su Yuan is a big killer who would dare to kill even the eldest princess, let alone little people like them?

As a result, Su Yuan learned a lot of information.

One of the important ones is the whereabouts of "Chu Changning".

Chu Changning was once the personal bodyguard of his father Su Tufeng, and he was also a martial arts master. Later, after Su Yuan was born, Su Tufeng transferred him to Su Yuan's side as his bodyguard.

Originally, with Chu Changning's protection, things like Su Yuan's assassination last night would never have happened.

As a result, Chu Changning disappeared without a trace that night... Su Yuan did not think it was a betrayal. After questioning, he finally learned that Chu Changning was imprisoned by Zhou Yanran.

Su Yue in Su City did not have this ability, but Zhou Yanran was a princess and a princess after all, so Chu Changning had no choice but to obey her orders.

Without saying anything, Su Yuan asked people to go to the cell and take out Chu Changning and some guards who were loyal to him.

Chu Changning, a tough guy in his early forties with short hair and a muscular body, came to the courtyard of the palace. When he saw Su Yuan, he knelt down on one knee and said, "My guard neglected his duty, please punish me!"

"Changning, get up. I know you were deceived by Zhou Yanran and you suffered." Su Yuan saw that Chu Changning still had some injuries on his body, and he had obviously put up a strong resistance.

"This is nothing. Your Highness, I heard that you killed... the princess, and the two princes, Su Cheng and Su Yue."

"That's right." Su Yuandan said calmly, "Is there any problem?"

Chu Changning immediately shook his head and his eyes became determined.

"The princess and the others intend to murder His Highness the Crown Prince. It is right for Your Highness to fight back! But I would like to ask Your Highness to make preparations in advance. There must be an urgent memorial being sent to the capital at this moment!"

"I understand that."

Su Yuan knew that just as Zhou Yanran said before he died, what he did was actually treason.

As soon as the book was delivered to the capital, the emperor would definitely be furious after reading it. It would be reasonable to send troops to conquer him.

But since he killed someone, he will not regret it.

Just like what he said to Zhou Yanran, if others want his life, why does he care about the imperial power? He really regards him as a native of this world... No, even if the natives face this kind of thing, as long as they still have three points of blood

, I will never tolerate it.

If the emperor wants to destroy him, he will never sit still and wait for death.

"Changning." He said to Chu Changning, "Are you willing to help me?"

Chu Changning didn't even think about it: "This subordinate's life was saved by the prince. If the prince is gone, I will naturally be willing to go through fire and water for His Royal Highness, no matter what!"

Su Yuan was very satisfied and stepped forward to hold Chu Changning's hand.

"Changning, let's talk in detail."

Although Su Yuan has 100,000 Xiliang cavalry, these soldiers are like "AI robots".

They are very useful in executing orders, but when it comes to chatting and discussing things, they are far from real people.

Therefore Chu Changning is very important to Su Yuan.

Chu Changning grew up in Beifeng City, so he naturally had a good idea of ​​the division of power in this area.

After his narration, Su Yuan had a general understanding.

In Beifeng City, besides Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, there are five major families, namely the Zhang family, the Li family, the Sun family, the Feng family, and the Shen family.

Of these five major families, the Sun family and the Shen family are all local families.

The other three families have their roots in the Zhongyuan Clan, and they are just branch families sent to Beifeng City by the Clan.

These five major families, together with the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, jointly manage Beifeng City. As for the Yamen, they actually don't have much power.

When some people in the city were wronged, they would not go to the Yamen to file a complaint, but would come to Zhenbei Palace to redress their grievances... This is because Su Tufeng hated evil as much as he wanted to, and liked to take care of injustices.

Su Yuan learned from Chu Changning that the five major families had been making constant moves after Su Tufeng's death and had been sending people to contact the mansion.

Su Cheng also met several heads of their families and exchanged information.

As for Su Yuan, who has the right to inherit, none of the major families have sent anyone to contact him once, which is enough to explain the problem.

Chu Changning said: "Your Highness, the five major families are secretly supporting Su Cheng. Now that you are fighting back, they must be panicking."

Su Yuan nodded: "If you stand in the wrong team, you will always have to pay the price."

"Are you planning to..."

"Chang Ning, you know that from the moment I killed Zhou Yanran, it was equivalent to treason. Since it is rebellion, all unstable factors must be eradicated."

A cold light flashed in Chu Changning's eyes: "Your Highness, do you want to deal with the five major families?"

Su Yuan took a sip of tea and thought for a moment.

"First bring over their property in the city, Changning, and I will give you a thousand elite soldiers to do this."

"yes."

Chu Changning responded.

He was actually very curious about where Su Yuan's "elite soldiers" came from, but he would never take the initiative to ask if Su Yuan didn't tell him.

This is the consciousness of being a subordinate.

So, early in the morning, Chu Changning led a thousand elite soldiers to wipe out the properties of the five major families in Beifeng City.

He did not let the soldiers destroy the houses, but just drove the people from the five major families out of the industries and shops, and then replaced them with people he could trust.

Such a blatant robbery shocked and annoyed the five major families who learned the news.

"Why, how could you do this!"

"This is a steal!"

"This Su Yuan! He is simply a bandit!!"

In the hall of Zhang Mansion, the heads of several major families received the news and scolded Su Yuan.

But after scolding each other, they looked at each other, but there was nothing they could do.

Protesting by force? That's asking for death. The combined number of servants from several families is only two or three thousand. If they encounter Su Yuan's terrifying army, they will probably be wiped out in an instant.

Why don't you protest...just watch your property being taken away?

The head of the Li family, Li Cheng said angrily: "We must go to Su Yuan and ask for an explanation. How could he do this!"

"...Brother Li, please don't forget that Su Yuan is considered a rebel now..."

"...!"

Li Cheng suddenly woke up.

That's right, Su Yuan can no longer be treated as a normal person. He is now almost a rebel! A rebel leader.

They are already plotting rebellion, so what does it matter if they rob your store?

If you encounter ruthless people, you will be king if you have soldiers! No matter what big or small family you are, our entire property will be confiscated, and everyone will be imprisoned or sold into slavery...

Li couldn't help but tremble all over when he thought of this.

"Master Wang, when will Master Wang arrive..."

He is now extremely looking forward to the arrival of Master Wang to destroy Su Yuan.

"Brother Li, this is not something that happens in one or two days!" Zhang Yuandong said in a deep voice.

The Zhang family is the head of the five major families, and Zhang Yuandong has a calmer personality and more sophisticated behavior.

"It will take four or five days for the news to reach the capital. Even if the Holy Spirit dispatches troops and horses immediately, the preparation of military supplies and food will take at least one or two months... In other words, it will probably take two or three months for the army to arrive in Beifeng City."

"Two or three months..."

Zhang Yuandong looked at the worried people: "In the meantime, if we want to try to stabilize Su Yuan, it is best to confuse him and make him think that we are in the same boat with him. This will also make it easier for us to find out Su Yuan's army

In the future, we will better cooperate with Master Wang internally and externally."

"What Brother Zhang said is true!"

"Listen to Brother Zhang..."

The other four clan leaders nodded.
