Chapter three hundred and ninety-six cruel clan battle
Sighing, Li Zongxian said with a complicated expression: "Just now, Marquis Qin An said that he wanted our Li family to help, but I don't know what to do?"
Wang Junlin said: "This junior hopes that the head of the Li family can help do two things. First, spread rumors with all his strength, guide public opinion, and try his best to make the people and the court believe that the iron gun village rebels' attack on Wushan County is the work of the Hongnong Yang family.
Otherwise, the prophecy already said that your Li family rebelled and became the Yang family. This contrast is too great, and the court and the people may not believe it. Second, I have a list here, and I hope that the head of the Li family can arrange for someone to put these things together.
The things are placed in the Yang family branch compound in Yangjia Town."
As he spoke, Wang Junlin took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Li Zongxian. After the latter took it and read it, his pupils shrank and he sneered and said: "The content of this note has been written in advance, Qin An
Hou is indeed a good tactic!"
Wang Junlin smiled slightly and said: "Master Li, I'm very grateful. It's just some unsightly means."
Li Zongxian suddenly said: "Where is my eldest son Li Fengmu now?"
Wang Junlin said: "Brother Feng Mu should have arrived at the Li family's ancestral home by now."
When Li Zongxian heard this, he suddenly stood up, took a deep look at Wang Junlin, and said: "I will deliver two hundred thousand taels of silver and Chen Danying to Qin Anhou within three days as agreed. In addition, these two things
I will also send someone to do it. I hope Qin Anhou can abide by the agreement."
Wang Junlin stood up and said solemnly: "Master Li, don't worry, although I am young, I always keep my word."
After hearing this, Li Zongxian stopped talking nonsense and turned around to leave.
…
…
Not long after Li Zongxian left, the Li family began to take action.
The millennium-old family has been in Jin for hundreds of years. It is luxuriant and famous. It has countless Confucian scholars and celebrities under its sect. It also has its own armed forces overtly and covertly. Since it has made an agreement with Wang Junlin, it is natural that there is no need to stay.
Regardless of his kindness, whether he betrays his allies or protects himself from evil, his actions are extremely decisive.
After a brief confrontation with Wang Junlin, Li Zongxian also understood the emperor's bottom line.
In just one day, the ground in Longxi County and even Yongzhou was turbulent and murderous.
First of all, the Confucian scholars and celebrities under the Li family in Longxi created public opinion, and remonstrances were everywhere. Some were posted everywhere in writing, and some were passed down orally among the people. The evidence that the Hongnong Yang family incited people to rebel was exposed by the Li family.
Baskets of evidence were brought out. As for how much of the evidence was true and how much was false, no one cared at this time. In the eyes of the common people and scholars, the Hongnong Yang family was a treasonous and sinister family. They must plead guilty and obey the law.
The kind who could die ten thousand times without being wronged.
In addition, the prophecy that "peaches and plums will dominate the world, the Yang family will be destroyed, and the Li family will be prosperous" was also secretly fabricated by the Hongnong Yang family, and gradually began to spread widely in the capital, with the purpose of attracting the attention of the court and the emperor.
Strength, so that they can carry out their great cause of rebellion.
The Yang family of Hongnong became a street rat overnight, and the Li family of Longxi became a victim.
The power of public opinion cannot be underestimated. At this time, Wang Junlin also deeply realized how terrible the background of a thousand-year-old family is. In one day, black and white turned black and white, and everything in his territory was turned upside down, swaying the people's hearts, but the people were still very willing to buy it.
Account, the people believe whatever the Li family says.
As for the inexplicable death of the Yang family, the Yang family was also anxious at this time, and the Confucian scholars under the sect were also busy defending. But to the people of Yongzhou, the Yang family was just a branch of the Hongnong Yang family, and they moved here
Longxi County has not been in power for a long time, and it has not yet gained the recognition of the people. Whether it is Yang Su, the Duke of Yue, who is the head of the Hongnong Yang family, or the Hongnong family's layout is too hasty, they never thought that the Li family in Longxi would
Suddenly dump the blame on them.
In the land of Longxi County, the Li family is the leading big family, with the ability to influence the local government and people's hearts. The Yang family wants to fight with the Li family in Longxi County, but the right time, place and people are not available. When the Li family starts,
From the very moment, the Yang family was doomed to defeat.
The overwhelming accusations and scoldings swept towards the Yang family. The Yang family was furious, but there was nothing they could do. The evidence presented by the Li family could not be refuted. The truth was mixed with falsehoods, and the falsehoods were mixed with truth. They wanted to argue but couldn't. Moreover, in terms of the power of the local gentry in Longxi County,
, the Yang family was no match for the Li family. When the Li family issued an order and mobilized the landlords and wealthy households in every village in Longxi County to attack the Yang family, the Yang family had been beaten to the point where they were unable to fight back.
In just a few days, the tone of public opinion in Longxi County had been forcibly set by the Li family, and the Yang family suffered a complete defeat.
Early in the morning on the third day of the public opinion battle between the Li and Yang families, Wang Junlin personally led Zhou Wen, the prime minister of Longxi County, and a thousand cavalry, and rushed toward Yangjia Town in the south of Longxi City. The road was full of gentle mountains.
There are patches of forest, a small river meandering, and the scenery is particularly beautiful. There are farmland and cottages along the way. The broad official road has disappeared, leaving only narrow field paths.
But everyone kept running without stopping, and after running for nearly fifty miles, a small town appeared in front of them. It was quite prosperous. In the middle of the town, there was a mansion covering an area of more than thirty acres, which was quite majestic and gorgeous.
"Master Hou, this is Yangjia Town where the Hongnong Yang family branch is located, and this house is the Yang family branch's mansion." Zhou Wen said to Wang Junlin.
Wang Junlin nodded, waved his hand, and said: "Surround all sides, don't let anyone go, take down all the people inside, and then search thoroughly!"
Before the soldiers could take action, suddenly a shrill cry came from the Yang family's mansion. Wang Junlin ordered the soldiers to open the door and found that more than a hundred members of the Yang family, including men, women, and children, had all hung themselves from the beams. No one survived.
, only an old housekeeper was left kneeling in the courtyard, crying in agony.
Even though Wang Junlin had killed many people over the past year and had experienced cruel scenes on the battlefield, he still couldn't help but his expression changed drastically and his heart felt cold.
When Zhou Wen came, he also brought the men from Longxi County with him as servants. After these people inspected the corpses one by one, they further confirmed that these people had indeed committed suicide.
Zhou Wen's face was also a little pale. He took a deep breath and said, "Are these people committing suicide out of fear of crime?"
The evidence of "suicide" is very clear. Not only were the men and women of the Yang family dressed neatly and neatly, but they also looked calm when hanging the beam. The head of the family also left a suicide note of deep regret, saying that the Yang family was temporarily confused and had failed the Sacred Heart above and the people below.
It implicated the Hongnong family and the Duke of Yue. Many evil deeds were committed by the Yang family of Longxi County and had nothing to do with the Yang family of Hongnong and the Duke of Yue. As the head of the Yang family in Longxi, he was incompetent in running the family and unintentionally ruined the Yang family.
I regret my reputation so much that I have no face to live in this world...
