"Originally, with those arrangements, I was 70% sure that we could turn defeat into victory, but the Ouye family has opened up a treasure trove. While they are protecting themselves, they will also recruit a large number of helpers for Shangguanhui, so I am afraid that I am not even 10% sure.

Fan Gong is the ruler of the country, so as long as he doesn't directly offend the Ouye family, nothing will happen to him."

So just now he stopped Fan Zhenguo from taking action.

"But you, you are dangerous!"

Song Zheng said, "If the adults' method fails, I have an idea."

…

Xiao Zhen and Song Zheng immediately set off back to the capital after their secret conversation, without even waiting for Wang Qinghe.

Wang Qinghe also left the next day, taking away several high-level spiritual treasures that Ouye used to bribe important officials in the court.

Duanyang City fell into a strange calm. Among the Zhenshan Guards, Ma Daquan and Song Zheng coexisted "for two days." Huang Yuran and Ou Yefang both wanted to capture Song Zheng, but without His Majesty's imperial edict, they

I don't dare to do this either.

Song Zheng practiced all day long, meditating on the "Dao Lei Cauldron Book", and made rapid progress. With his current status, he naturally has no shortage of resources for cultivation.

Underneath the calm there is an undercurrent.

Yao Huan, who was imprisoned in Zhenshan Guard's Underworld Prison, was killed on the same night as Ruan Zhu! The Underworld Prison is now taken over by Bao Tao Guard, but this is the home of Zhenshan Guard, so of course they have a way to sneak in.

Subsequently, Xiao Laomei, who was secretly imprisoned by Song Zheng, was also killed.

Witnesses who were unfavorable to Ou Yefang died one after another, which seemed to prove that the trend was unstoppably turning against Song Zheng.

All the forces in the city have also seen clearly that as soon as the imperial edict arrives, the end of the Song Dynasty will be reached.

Even this time, Xiao Zhen and the entire Longyi Guard will become a thing of the past.

The Jiufu Rong family was still glad that they had not boarded Song Zheng's pirate ship. Rong Shiliang even secretly announced that he and Pangong Xie would cut off their robes and completely draw a clear line.

Jiuzhen Society was full of joy. Liao Hekai said on many public occasions that Song Zheng was narrow-minded and had ordinary qualifications. It was indeed because there was a powerful elder in the family who had a good relationship with Xiao Zhen that he got into this position.

Among the Chongdao clan, Chen Fulong drank in silence and thought carefully about it. In fact, Song Zheng did not oppress the Chongdao clan. On the contrary, he was very easy to talk to and was actually very kind to others.

"Alas..." He shook his head: "That's the way the world is, good people don't live long, and disasters last for thousands of years."

Zhao Yimin secretly regretted it in Beijiao Garden, still feeling that Song Zheng could actually become a respectable opponent: "It's a pity that he chose the wrong direction."

Ou Yefang gave away several high-level spiritual treasures, which seemed to be a huge loss, but he captured a Chaos Heavenly Demon, and the Xuanhuang Sky Cover may be promoted to a holy object. If it is really successful, then not only is it not a loss, but it will make a lot of money.

Already.

Therefore, the Ouye family has been in a state of joy these past few days. They were originally the number one family in Duanyang City, but now they are even more arrogant. Their servants go to the streets and dare to beat and scold Captain Baotao at will.

Therefore, the leader of Tanzong announced that Tanzong would temporarily close the gates of the mountain and make concessions. The Ouye family obviously had plans to compete for the number one power in Xizhou.

In the yamen, everyone in Bao Tao Guard was in panic. Today, seven or eight people came to Du Baihu together. After hesitating for a long time, they finally explained their purpose: they wanted to leave the country!

Du Baihu was furious and scolded them out, but several people refused to leave at the door and begged: "Sir, please spare us. We have just entered Bao Tao Guard and we haven't gained any benefits yet."

If you arrive, you will be buried with him, it’s not worth it.”

"Get out!" Du Baihu roared, his eyes gleaming, and he could not help but kill someone.

These people fled in embarrassment, and Song Zheng stood silently under the eaves in the yard. Du Baihu saw him and said quickly: "Sir..." Song Zheng waved his hand: "These wallflowers, let them go."

To Du Baihu's surprise, Song Zheng had already turned around and entered the house.

Du Baihu thought for a while, gritted his teeth and carried out the order of the Lord, and went through the formalities for those people. They were no longer Bao Tao Guards. The news spread, and more than a hundred people came one after another, begging to leave. Song Zheng

Waved his hand: "Come and go as you please."

The deserters rushed out of the yamen, celebrating with joy that they had escaped from the catastrophe. In the eyes of passers-by, it was naturally the most powerful proof that the Longyi Guards were declining.

Two days later, a golden cloud floated from the north, and under the golden cloud were the imperial guards of honor.

The Hongwu Celestial Dynasty's national fortunes were not prosperous, and the imperial envoy's golden cloud was much smaller, but it could still be seen hundreds of miles away. Duanyang City was boiling, and the imperial edict finally arrived!

"Quick, quick, prepare the incense table." Everyone in Ouye's house was busy, their faces beaming with joy.

But Ou Yefang felt: "This is a sacred command, we still have to welcome him out of the city."

He named a few people and went out of the city with him to receive the order. Those who were called by name were all his cronies, which also meant their status in the family. Therefore, these few were very happy. Those who were not named were naturally sad in private.

But he still had to show congratulations on his face.

Ou Yefang changed into a brown satin robe, neatly dressed, and led the servants out of Ou Ye's family and rushed to the north gate of Duanyang City.

In the Zhenshan Guard Yamen, Ma Daquan deliberately shouted so that the whole compound could hear: "Idiot, hurry up for me. Here is my Qianhu official robe. Hurry up and dress me up. Today is a happy day, but there is no guarantee.

Today is the last time I wear the official robe of the Long Yi Guard, and tomorrow I may be the inspector of the five states south of the Yangtze River of the Jin Luan Guard, hahaha!"

In another courtyard, Du Baihu and others were filled with annoyance as they listened to Ma Daquan's arrogant voice. They were already desperate and unable to argue with him.

But as soon as the door opened, Song Zheng came out neatly dressed and smiled at everyone: "Let's go out of the city to meet the imperial edict."

Du Baihu was stunned: "Sir...shall we go too?"

Song Zheng pointed at the golden cloud in the sky: "Go, I see there is auspiciousness in this golden cloud, so I naturally want to go."

Li Sanyan snorted: "I'm afraid it's a sign of good luck to the Ouye family." Du Baihu slapped him and said with a forced smile: "Your Excellency said to go, then we will go."

Song Zheng didn't say much. He took three people and invited Qi Bingchen to come with him to greet them.

At the gate of the Yamen, he happened to bump into Ma Daquan and his group. Ma Daquan glanced sideways and sneered: "Song Zheng, are you still lucky? Forget it, I just happened to take you away when the imperial edict was promulgated.

."

He shouted at the Zhenshan Guards on the left and right: "Please stay alert, the person you want to arrest later is the Inspector of the Five Prefectures."

"Hahaha!" The Zhenshan Guards burst into laughter. Song Zheng still looked calm and walked onto the street without saying a word.

At the gate of Beicheng, he met people from the Ouye clan again. As soon as Ouyeqi got the news, he went to catch the pigeons, but he could not find them. He hated it deeply in his heart. As a dignified Xi

One of the three colors of the state, the next head of the Ouye family was actually tricked like this, and his face was completely disgraced.

So his initial appreciation and praise for Song Zheng turned into hatred. When he saw him coming, he immediately said coldly and sarcastically: "Master Song, are you asking for a quick death?"

Song Zheng remained silent. When he arrived outside the city gate and looked forward, he saw that the imperial envoy's car had arrived three miles away. Everyone quickly stood in awe by the pipe.

Huang Yuran ordered the soldiers at the gate of the city to drive away all pedestrians, clear the open space, and sweep the place.

The imperial envoy came from afar and when he saw the people waiting outside the city gate, he couldn't help but chuckle: "There are still people who can't wait to die?"

Ou Yefang and others secretly looked at Song Zheng. The imperial envoy got out of the car and held the imperial edict in his hand: "Well, since everyone is here, the imperial envoy will read out the imperial edict here and complete his errands as soon as possible and return to Beijing to report to His Majesty.

"

He raised the imperial edict high: "Song Zheng, the inspector of the five southern states of the Longyi Guard, Huang Yuran, the pastor of Xizhou Prefecture, Qianhu Ma Daquan, the Zhenshan Guard, and Ou Yefang, the head of the Ouye family, accept the edict!"

Everyone immediately stepped forward and knelt down in the middle of the official road.

"The emperor of Fengtian Chengyun issued an edict:

The officialdom of Xizhou is corrupt. In the past, there was the Zhenshan Guard Qianhu Ma Daquan, who cultivated poisonous people and connected with foreigners. Later, there was Huang Yuran, the state shepherd, who willingly became a bully and a lackey and framed the pillars of the imperial court. He committed a heinous crime!

Song Zheng, the patrol envoy of the five states south of the Yangtze River under the command of Long Yiwei, purged the official circles in the south of the Yangtze River and thoroughly investigated the Xizhou case. However, those involved in the case would not be tolerated.

Give Song Zheng Shangfang the sword, and enjoy the exclusive power to kill first and then report!"

"Ou Yefang, a family in Xizhou, did not think about serving the country with loyalty and bravery, and did not care about the glory of his ancestors. He colluded with foreign enemies and caused trouble in Jiangnan. It is an unforgivable crime! Song Zheng was ordered to command the Longyi Guards in Jiangnan, and the Ou Ye family was raided. All the proceeds were sealed and sent to the capital. Ou Yefang

The Ye family punished three tribes to serve as a warning to others!

"I admire this"

As everyone listened, they felt that something was wrong. They actually took Huang Yuran and Ma Daquan first, and then ransacked Ouye's family and killed the three clans! How could this happen? It's not that the Ouye clan was safe and sound when they were operating in the capital with heavy treasures.

Moreover, the emperor already hates Xiao Zhen. Does he want to abolish the Long Yi Guard?

Ou Yefang, Huang Yuran and Ma Daquan, who were kneeling aside, were stunned, their bodies were all weak and they were about to collapse on the ground.

Fan Zhenguo walked out behind the imperial envoy. His sword was flying across the sky, suppressing the entire Duanyang City to prevent anyone from jumping over the wall to resist the imperial edict.

Song Zheng kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, Song Zheng, the inspector of the five states south of the Yangtze River of Longyi Guards, has received the order to thank you!"

He stepped forward to receive the imperial edict, turned around and shouted: "Long Yiwei listened to the order and released the imperial convict Ou Yeqi. Ou Yeqi was captured on the spot. The imperial convict Huang Yuran and Ma Daquan were taken into custody! Search the Zhenshan Guards and search the Ou Ye clan.

Search the Jiuzhen Society!"

He carried some of his own orders. The imperial envoy glanced at him and smiled but did not stop him. Du Baihu and the other two people had been kneeling on the ground. They were already waiting to die, but as soon as the imperial edict was read out, they suddenly jumped from the ground.

After returning to Yunxiao, they could no longer hold back any longer. After Song Zheng gave this order, they all flew up: "I obey!"

The Leopard Tao Guards did not have enough manpower in Duanyang City, so the imperial envoy said: "Sir, Mr. Song, I have been ordered to bring 3,000 elite soldiers from the fourth battalion of the Beijing Beast Fighting Cavalry, and they will be temporarily handed over to Mr. Song."
Chapter completed!
