Both Cui Zhentang and Li Daozong breathed a sigh of relief.
The power of the firecracker is so frightening that it caused so many casualties just after it appeared.
There were constant screams, and the ground was full of people injured by firecrackers.
The two sides had been fighting for so long just now, but maybe not even 20% of them were injured by swords and lying on the ground.
"Cui Zhentang, go with King Rencheng, or should we take you away by force?"
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
To this day, we still use the excuse of arresting Cui Zhentang.
After all, there were five surnames and seven hopes involved, and Li Shimin wanted to make a name for himself so that no one in the world would gossip.
"Fang Yuan, aren't you just relying on the blunderbuss?"
"If you have the ability to speak with your fists!"
Cui Zhentang walked out, his face as gloomy as water.
If it weren't for Fang Yuan's blunderbuss, tonight's victory would be theirs.
It's all Fang Yuan's fault, some weird things appeared, first explosives and then firecrackers.
With these two such powerful weapons, the fists used to do the talking are no longer useful enough.
In the past, the Five Surnames and Qi Wang were invincible, but due to the emergence of explosives and firecrackers, the Five Surnames and Qi Wang were extremely fearful.
The key is that except for explosives, these weapons cannot be researched yet, which restricts the development of Five Surnames and Seven Hopes.
"Only fools think of solving problems with their fists."
"Cui Zhentang, do you want more casualties?"
Fang Yuan sneered.
He sat on the horse, looked at Li Daozong, and nodded to Li Daozong.
Li Daozong understood and immediately gave secret orders. The Jinwu guards quickly adjusted their positions and slowly walked out.
"Everyone stop!"
"Kingwuwei cannot be allowed to get out of the encirclement!"
Cui Yuanting discovered this scene and immediately shouted.
He came out, glared at Li Daozong, and stopped Li Daozong's actions.
The leader of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes was stunned for a moment, then understood and became vigilant.
Fang Yuan's fire blunderbuss is too powerful, but the bullets have no eyes, just like bows and arrows, they will hurt one's own people randomly.
At this time, if the Jinwu Guards leave their side and walk out of the perimeter, they will be surrounded by the Fire Gun Army.
The five surnames and seven noble clansmen who had tried the powerful fire gun army just now no longer wanted to try it, so they immediately ordered to keep an eye on the Jinwu Guards next to them.
Once you are forced to leave, do it immediately, otherwise the scene will become a killing field again.
"Can't you get out of the encirclement?"
"Magistrate Cui, do you want to keep us forever?"
Li Daozong sneered.
There was blood on his body, and the sword in his hand was still dripping with blood. He walked towards Cui Yuanting with a cold face.
Although walking towards Cui Yuanting meant walking closer into the encirclement, Li Daozong did not believe that Cui Yuanting dared to kill him.
He is a prince and a minister of Dali Temple. If he kills the imperial court and the five surnames and Qiwang, there will be no possibility of recovery.
Even though everyone is killing so fiercely now, the people who died are ordinary people. If we talk about it for a while, maybe everyone will be in peace.
[In view of the general environment,
"How dare you keep King Rencheng forever?"
"Just how do you think the prince should handle today's matter?"
Cui Yuanting took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
Seeing the murderous Li Daozong approaching, he felt a little scared in his heart.
But he was afraid, and he also didn't believe that Li Daozong dared to kill him.
He is a senior member of the Bolingcui family, and the court does not dare to kill him without a justifiable excuse.
"Take Cui Zhentang away and the three departments will interrogate!"
Li Daozong said in a deep voice.
This is the purpose of the imperial court, and we will not give up until we reach our goal.
"I said, bring the evidence and I will follow you!"
Cui Zhentang interrupted and said in a deep voice.
It is impossible to leave, only excuses are true.
He has sent people to assassinate him. After so long, he should have succeeded.
So emphasize the evidence!
"Isn't it easy to get evidence?"
Li Daozong sneered.
Then he looked at Fang Yuan who was riding on the horse.
Fang Yuan nodded and clapped his palms as a signal.
Not long after, the family member of the victim who had seen Cui Zhentang appeared.
The five family members were protected by the Ministry of Punishment and were brought out by Liu Yichen himself.
Liu Yichen has excellent counter-reconnaissance capabilities. He detected someone who wanted to assassinate them and specially protected them.
After Cui Zhentang and others saw the victim's family, their expressions changed, feeling that they had been trapped by Li Daozong and others.
He must have deliberately let himself say those words, and then brought the person out, so that now he is in a difficult position.
"Why, Cui Shangshu has other ideas?"
Fang Yuan said with a half-smile.
It is estimated that everyone knows Cui Zhentang’s abacus.
But now that the witness is in front of him, he still wants to deny it?
If this is the case, then there is only one outcome between the two sides, and that is another war.
"I don't believe it!"
"They were sent by you!"
Cui Zhentang's expression changed, and finally he gritted his teeth and shouted loudly.
As soon as these words came out, Cui Yuanting's expression changed and his brows furrowed into a frown.
The expressions of the leaders of various ethnic groups also changed, and their brows furrowed slightly.
Originally, various ethnic groups were dissatisfied with the royal family Li.
But now it’s Cui Zhentang’s nonsense.
If the Five Surnames and Qi Wang have the upper hand, then let's just be crazy.
But now, neither the Longxi Li family nor the Zhaojun Li family have come, and they are now at a disadvantage.
Therefore, when Cui Zhentang said this, all ethnic groups were wondering whether they should continue to mess around?
After all, people will die!
"So, Cui Shangshu is going to continue to mess around?"
"Prepare the firecrackers!"
Fang Yuan's expression changed and he shouted loudly.
The 3,000 musketry troops raised their muskets in unison, pointing their guns at the soldiers of all ethnic groups.
The dark muzzle of the gun made everyone look scared after the killing just now.
"Fang Yuan, aren't you afraid of accidentally hurting your own people?"
Cui Zhentang looked ferocious and said angrily.
"Death is inevitable."
Fang Yuan's tone was cold and he said in a deep voice.
There will definitely be accidental injuries, but not many.
Most of the Jinwu guards at the scene were inside, and the clan soldiers with the fifth surname and Qiwang were outside.
If the Jinwu Guards are accidentally injured, the clan soldiers with the fifth surname and Qiwang will suffer great losses.
If you persist for a little bit, the number of clan soldiers with five surnames and seven hopes will be reduced sharply. If you replace them with bayonets and Jinwu guards will cooperate inside and outside, victory is expected.
"You, you, you..."
Cui Zhentang was shocked by Fang Yuan's words, pointing at Fang Yuan and speechless.
Li Daozong didn't speak, his expression was serious, but he was mentally prepared.
If Cui Zhentang refuses to follow, then follow Fang Yuan’s wishes.
The clan soldiers of the Five Surnames and Qi Wang became unsettled. Not all of them were clan soldiers, but also domestic slaves and some pampered clan members.
The pampered tribesmen are willing to die for their family, but they are not willing to die so cowardly because of one person's nonsense.
Therefore, the soldiers of the Five Surnames and Qiwang began to become restless and dissatisfied with Cui Zhentang's behavior.
"Give you another chance, fight or surrender?"
Fang Yuan said coldly.
His eyes glanced at Cui Zhentang and others.
An army of three thousand firecrackers pointed at them with firecrackers, which was a terrifying force.
"The Taiyuan Wang family is willing to withdraw from this dispute, but they need a promise from the court not to pursue what happened tonight!"
Suddenly, someone stood up and said in a deep voice.
After the voice fell, people from the Zheng family in Xingyang and the Lu family in Fanyang stood up one after another and said the same thing.
"The Fan Yanglu family is willing to withdraw from this dispute, but they need a promise from the court not to pursue what happened tonight!"
When Cui Zhentang heard this, his face suddenly became ferocious and his eyes turned scarlet, as if he was about to lose his mind.
Fang Yuan frowned, his first thought was to reject their conditions. How could the imperial court yield to their demands when doing business?
But Li Daozong spoke first, saying: "Yes, but the weapons must be kept!"
Fang Yuan saw this and did not refute in the end.
In this operation, the Criminal Department and Dali Temple were the main ones, and I was the auxiliary.
Since Li Daozong thinks this is okay, then so be it.
"Retreat!"
The leader of the Taiyuan Wang family put down the ice silk in their hands, shouted out loudly, and walked towards the outside without any hesitation.
The soldiers of the Taiyuan Wang clan followed suit one after another, put down their weapons and followed their leader.
"Stop, how could you, the Taiyuan Wang family, do this?"
"I asked you to stop, are you deaf?"
Cui Zhentang vomited and roared.
But the Taiyuan Wang family didn’t stop.
In the end, they disappeared into the darkness and disappeared from everyone's eyes.
Next, the Fan Yang Lu family and the Xingyang Zheng family also left one after another and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Soon, the only people left at the door of the Bolingcui clan were the Bolingcui clan, those brought by Li Daozong, and those brought by Fang Yuan.
The strength gap between the two sides formed a chasm, and the Bolingcui family was destined to have no way to confront the imperial court.
"Ahhh...I'm going to kill you!"
Cui Zhentang's face was ferocious, as if he had lost his mind again.
He bared his teeth and claws and rushed towards Fang Yuan, his eyes were scarlet and terrifying.
But before he could rush in front of Fang Yuan, he was controlled by Xue Rengui, unable to make any progress.
Cui Zhentang seemed to be crazy, roaring, struggling, and even wanted to bite Xue Rengui.
But who is Xue Rengui?
With one palm strike, Cui Zhentang fell into a coma.
Cui Yuanting and others looked on, their faces watery, but they didn't stop him.
"Your Majesty!"
Fang Yuan got off his horse and walked towards Li Daozong while waving to him.
Li Daozong frowned slightly, glanced at Cui Yuanting and others, and joined Fang Yuan.
"The Bolingcui family is the only one left, why don't we kill them?"
Fang Yuan glanced at the soldiers of the Bolingcui clan and whispered.
After the situation just now, there are less than 500 soldiers left in the Bolingcui clan.
With such a small number, they are no match for the Jinwu Guards, and there is no need for the Fire Gun Army to take action.
Cui Yuanting and others looked at Fang Yuan and Li Daozong with cold expressions, but the night was so dim that they couldn't see clearly or hear what Fang Yuan said.
"As it should be!"
Li Daozong pondered for a moment and said coldly.
He suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the Bolingcui clan soldiers on the side.
The knife rose and fell, sending one person away with one knife, shouting: "Do it!"
In an instant, the scene was in chaos again, and the Jinwu guards raised their butcher knives one after another.
"Asshole!"
"Shouldn't we stop fighting?"
Cui Yuanting roared so angry that his eyes turned red.
The elders of the Bolingcui clan were no longer calm and frightened.
Taking action at this time is to drive them all away.
Now that the soldiers from other prominent clans are no longer around, they are no match for Jin Wuwei.
No one responded to him.
Li Daozong led the Jinwu Guards to counterattack.
Fang Yuan guarded the four sides to prevent Bolingcui's people from escaping.
There are less than 500 Bolingcui clan soldiers who are no match for the nearly 3,000 Jinwu guards.
It takes less than half a time
They were all beheaded and killed, almost to death.
Finally, Li Daozong looked at Cui Yuanting and other senior executives.
"King Rencheng, I am also the magistrate of Chang'an County. Do you want to arrest me?"
Cui Yuanting said angrily.
When the Jinwu Guards massacred clan soldiers, he and the clan elders thought about escaping.
But after facing the dark muzzles of the Fire Gun Army, they had no choice but to retreat to the Bolingcui family's house.
Although the Bolingcui family's mansion is large and has a large population, important figures like them are slowly being found in the face of the three thousand Jinwu Guards.
"You also know that you are the county magistrate?"
"Why didn't you execute my king's order just now?"
Li Daozong said coldly.
Only now do I remember that I am the county magistrate. It is too late.
With that said, Li Daozong waved his hand, and the Jinwu Guards immediately captured Cui Yuanting.
Including Cui Yuanting, all the top brass of the Boling Cui family in Chang'an City were captured by the Jinwu Guards.
These high-level officials are used to being arrogant, but they were still arrogant after being captured by the Jinwu Guards, scolding the Jinwu Guards for being blind and so on.
After being punched by Jin Wuwei in the end, they finally became less presumptuous and stopped for a long time before being tied up by Jin Wuwei.
"I was blackmailed by Cui Zhentang just now!"
Cui Yuanting said in a deep voice.
He glanced at the unconscious Cui Zhentang, opened his eyes and told lies.
"Let's talk about it when we get back, take it away!"
Li Daozong snorted coldly and said in a deep voice.
Subsequently, the senior executives of the Bo Ling Cui family were taken away, while the middle and lower levels ignored them.
After Li Daozong and Fang Yuan both left, Bo Ling Cui's mansion was full of corpses, with blood flowing everywhere.
Soon, the news spread throughout Chang'an City.
Everyone knows that Bo Ling Cui's branch in Chang'an City has been abolished.
The royal family Li, represented by Li Shimin, showed his strength, especially the Fire Gun Army led by Fang Yuan.
At this moment, all the aristocratic families have to weigh the power of the royal family. From now on, they have to behave with their tail between their legs, and they can no longer be as arrogant as before.
But they also know that a more terrifying storm is coming, and the Bolingcui family will not give up, nor will the Five Surnames and Qiwang.
Imperial Palace, Royal Study.
After Li Shimin heard Li Daozong's report, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt heavy at the same time.
Winning means that the crisis tonight has been resolved, but it does not mean that the crisis in the future will be resolved.
"Your Majesty, I want a batch of firecrackers!"
Li Daozong said suddenly.
He has thoroughly experienced the power of fire guns.
If you can own a fire gun, you will become the most powerful prince.
"If I don't even have a firecracker, how can I get it for you?"
"If you have the means, just ask Fang Yuan for it yourself."
Li Shimin waved his hands.
"Uh...ok."
Li Daozong was a little surprised.
But it feels reasonable.
If a weapon as powerful as a firecracker was developed by oneself, one would not give it to the emperor unconditionally.
Even the emperor would be afraid of such a powerful weapon, and he would rely on it and would not fall out because of the firecracker.
"Go back, interrogate Cui Zhentang carefully, and give an explanation to the world."
Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
This is an explanation to the world, and also an explanation to the five surnames and Qiwang.
For such a fair and aboveboard reason, what else can Qi Wang, the fifth surname, think of himself?
"I resign!"
Li Daozong should be respectful.
He walked out of the imperial study room. At this time, colorful clouds appeared in the east, and a bright light was about to appear.
The five surnames and seven looks are terrible. They will have an even more terrifying darkness, but the dawn will illuminate the empire.
