On the night when Liu Yan was assassinated, the governor's mansion was ablaze with flames and shouts of killing continued throughout the night.
However, the next day was quiet and quiet, with no news at all.
Even though some people used various connections to inquire about the information, they could not get any information. This time, the people in the Prefectural Mufu Mansion were very strict. All the people who inquired about the information came with great pleasure and came back disappointed. However, on the first
On the second day, something shocking suddenly happened. Liu Yan sent Zhao Wei and his troops to massacre all the Taoist priests in the Taoist temples. Within three days, all the Taoist temples in Chengdu were destroyed without leaving a single one.
At this time, although the people were panicking, they were also speculating on what was going on in the Prefectural Mufu Mansion.
Just when everyone kept speculating, news suddenly came.
Liu Hao died, and Liu Yan was seriously injured and on the verge of death.
This news spread quickly in Chengdu like a plague. Within half a day, everyone quickly knew what happened in the Zhou Mu Mansion. At the same time, people's hearts were agitated. From the dignitaries to the traffickers and footmen, they all felt the excitement.
There is a depressing atmosphere, and the storm is coming, and the wind is filling the building.
…
State Shepherd's Mansion, study room.
After several days of rest, the wound on Liu Yan's lower abdomen finally began to scab and gradually improved.
He was leaning on a couch, thinking about things in Yizhou.
During this period, too many things happened in Yizhou, not only the battle against Hanzhong was launched, but also internal troubles were arising. Although Liu Yan was old, he still insisted on handling the affairs of Yizhou. At this time, Liu Yan
It was obvious that his health was deteriorating, so he was even more eager to pass on the position to Liu Zhang. The only regret for Liu Yan was that Liu Hao was assassinated and his favorite heir was killed.
Outside the study, there was a slight knock on the door: "Sir, Manager Jia is waiting for you in the hall."
"Let him come into the study."
"promise!"
There was a response from outside the door, and soon there were the sounds of footsteps coming from near and far away. A moment later, there was a knock on the door outside the study, and Jia Long had already arrived outside the study. Liu Yan still squinted his eyes slightly, closed his eyes to rest, not because of Jia Long.
When Long arrived, he stood up to greet him. He asked Jia Long to wait outside the house for a while and shouted: "Come in."
After finishing speaking, Liu Yan still sat where he was.
Jia Long opened the door and came in. Seeing that Liu Yan didn't open his eyes, he secretly cursed the old thief in his heart.
However, he still stepped forward, bowed respectfully to Liu Yan, then put his hands on his chest, motionless, waiting for Liu Yan to ask questions. Liu Yan did not speak, so Jia Long naturally did not dare to disturb Liu Yan first.
With their eyes closed and resting, the two of them didn't say a word, just getting along quietly.
About a quarter of an hour later, Liu Yan opened his eyes, and his turbid eyes fell on Jia Long's face. Seeing that Jia Long did not show an expression of impatience, but instead showed an expression of patient waiting, he nodded with satisfaction.
Liu Yan once valued Jia Long very much because it was Jia Long who helped him stabilize the situation.
Later, they gradually became estranged because the Yizhou clan headed by Jia Long was too powerful.
Until now, Jia Long has been completely idle.
There is only one reason, because Jia Long is the leader of the Yizhou clan.
This is what makes Liu Yan afraid.
Liu Yan twisted his body, trying to change his position, but he pulled at the wound on his lower abdomen. He grimaced in pain and took a few deep breaths. It took him a while to calm down, but a trace of pain rose up on his face again.
The flushed color showed that he was obviously seriously injured. He looked at Jia Long and asked in a deep voice, "Why are you here to see me?"
Jia Long lowered his head slightly, not daring to look directly at Liu Yan, but he also noticed Liu Yan's changes from the corner of his eye.
Seeing Liu Yan grimacing in pain, he immediately sneered in his heart.
He wished that Liu Yan would die from pain, preferably vomiting three liters of blood, or fainting directly. Even so, his face did not reveal anything.
Not only that, Jia Long also bowed respectfully to Liu Yan and said: "My lord, the situation in Chengdu is not optimistic and is very chaotic. The reason is that all the Taoist temples in Chengdu have been destroyed, which aroused public anger. The people have petitioned, hoping that my lord
The Taoist temple can be rebuilt so that people can offer incense and pray for blessings, and have a place of sustenance."
Liu Yan sent Zhao Wei to massacre the Taoist temple because Liu Hao was assassinated.
Jia Long was very smart and knew the situation. Moreover, the one hundred men in black who appeared at the river that day were the ones sent by Jia Long and the Yizhou clan to assassinate Liu Yan.
However, Liu Yan, a thief, actually had an ambush.
Fortunately, Jia Long found an excuse in advance and asked someone to cover up the matter by pretending to be a remnant of the horse.
Liu Yan was jealous of the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple, but Jia Long specifically mentioned things that Liu Yan was angry about, with the purpose of irritating Liu Yan.
Jia Long came to visit Liu Yan today. In fact, there was nothing important. Nowadays, almost all major affairs in Yizhou are handled by Zhao Wei. Jia Long is engaged in Yizhou and has great power, but he has been sidelined and completely ignored.
After idle time, he came to visit Liu Yan for two purposes: one was to inquire about Liu Yan's injury and see how Liu Yan was doing. The other was to stimulate Liu Yan and make Liu Yan even more angry.
Sure enough, Liu Yan became angry immediately after hearing this.
Liu Yan snorted and asked, "Who are the petitioners? How many people want to rebuild the Taoist temple?"
As soon as he said these words, Jia Long immediately understood one thing. Liu Yan wanted to kill the willing people and the people who wanted to rebuild Taoism. Jia Long looked for death and secretly sneered in his heart, kill, let you kill
Enough.
He said in a deep voice: "Reporting to my lord, because of Zhang Daoling, most people in Yizhou believe in Taoism, but in Chengdu, 40% of the people like to go to Taoist temples to offer incense and pray for blessings. Now, the people have seen that all Taoist temples in Chengdu disappeared overnight
, are all very angry and want to ask the Lord to rebuild the Taoist temple."
After finishing speaking, Jia Long looked at Liu Yan, expecting Liu Yan's reaction.
Chengdu, the capital of Yizhou, has a very large population.
Forty percent of the people were at least hundreds of thousands of people. Liu Yan wanted to kill people, but would he dare to kill so many people?
At this time, Jia Long was looking forward to Liu Yan's reaction.
After Liu Yan heard this, he gasped and had a look of helplessness on his face. His face turned livid and gloomy, especially when he looked at Jia Long, his eyes were cold. He cursed: "A bunch of
Diaomin, you are so bold, you are really tired of living. You immediately detain all the petitioners, I want to see who wants to rebuild Taoism, and who wants to compete with me?"
Of course, Jia Long would not follow Liu Yan's wishes. He said: "My lord, these people are very cunning. They are afraid that my lord will kill them and silence them, so they have hid among the people and can't find anyone."
"Tricky people! Tricky people!..."
Liu Yan was so angry that he gritted his teeth and cursed loudly.
When he cursed, his body inevitably shook for a while. Occasionally shaking would not involve physical pain, but when his body shook, it would pull the wound on his lower abdomen, making Liu Yan gasp incessantly.
His throat made a hissing sound. When Jia Long saw this, he felt secretly happy and said with added jealousy: "My lord, the people also wrote a letter and gave it to my lord, please read it."
"Hand it over!"
Liu Yan let out a low cry and endured the pain with a solemn expression on his face.
Jia Long took out a piece of white cloth from his sleeve, which was full of words, but the writing was scrawled and crooked, and there were traces of smearing everywhere.
At first glance, it was obvious that the words were written by someone who had not read many books. Liu Yan spread out the white cloth, and what came into his eyes were four slanted characters: Liu Yan, old thief! Liu Yan hadn't read the words at the back yet.
, he was already very angry. He snorted coldly, threw away the white cloth, and shouted: "The unruly people deserve to be killed, they deserve to be killed!"
However, Liu Yan felt a sense of powerlessness again.
How to kill hundreds of thousands of people?
It's not that I don't dare to kill, it's that I can't kill.
Liu Yan felt helpless, and thought about the assassination of his beloved son Liu Mao. It was natural for him to destroy the Taoist temple, and it was reasonable. Now there are people who oppose him, why? The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he felt blocked in his heart.
The color of his face also gradually changed, turning into the color of pig liver. His throat also felt blocked and he kept coughing.
"Cough! Cough!..."
Liu Yan kept coughing, and his face turned from pig liver color to flushing red.
Seeing this, Jia Long felt very proud. He did not go up to help Liu Yan, but stood motionless, lowering his head and letting Liu Yan cough. This was all because he avenged the deaths of more than ten wealthy gentry families.
The more pain Liu Yan felt, the happier Jia Long became.
"Lord, what's wrong with you?"
Jia Long pretended to ask, but Liu Yanzheng was coughing so hard that he couldn't hear anything.
Therefore, Jia Long continued to remain silent.
"puff!"
Liu Yan opened his mouth, and a mouthful of blood popped out.
Blood spat out on the ground, mixed with some small blood. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Liu Yan's face became as golden as paper, and his flushed face became pale again. Moreover, when Liu Yan coughed, there was inevitably another shaking, making
The wound on his lower abdomen kept pulling, and the newly scabbed wound burst open again, and traces of bright red blood overflowed, dyeing the white cloth bandage wrapped around Liu Yan's lower abdomen red.
"Someone, come quickly!"
When Jia Long saw Liu Yan dying of pain and his breath gradually weakening, he roared loudly.
In an instant, the door opened, and soldiers rushed in one after another, ready to stand ready.
Liu Yan's old illness has relapsed. Jia Long can choose not to speak, but the situation is critical. Once Liu Yan has a big problem, he will also be held accountable. Now Liu Yan's body has been severely injured. This situation is just right. It is best to torture Liu Yan to death.
No. Therefore, Jia Long hurriedly ordered: "Quickly, help the lord to the room, and immediately ask a doctor to diagnose and treat the lord."
"promise!"
Several soldiers moved Liu Yan back to his house, and some soldiers went to ask a doctor to diagnose and treat Liu Yan.
Others intervened, and Jia Long left directly.
Now, he has achieved his goal.
Jia Long was in a good mood and returned to his mansion with brisk steps. He successfully obtained Liu Yan's situation, which also made Liu Yan's illness worse, so it was time to take action.
In order for Liu Yan to perish, Liu Yan's condition must be worsened before he can die.
All chess pieces are available for use.
Liu Yan could not kill all the big clans in Yizhou with just one massacre.
