The big rock fell straight on the round table beside him, smashing it into pieces. The flying fragments cut Senator Yang's face, leaving a trace of blood.
Councillor Yang ignored the pain and subconsciously looked up. He saw several people standing on the wall. He was startled and immediately knew that they were Xiao Heng's men. At least they were not here with good intentions. He immediately turned his head to look at Yang Binqing: "Call someone!"
The old house of the Yang family usually has many guards with high martial arts skills, and they will never leave the house no matter what happens. Yang Binqing was also scared. He didn't expect that the people over there would come so quickly. He didn't bother to think about how they knew that he and his eldest brother would be here, and how they found this yard so accurately. He hurriedly took out a firework tube from his pocket and was about to light it.
But before he could take out the fire starter, the people on the wall had already rushed towards them at a high speed and were in front of them in a flash. One of them was a thin man with excellent lightness skills, and he kicked the firework tube in Yang Binqing's hand away in a few kicks. Yang Binqing was forced to throw away the fire starter, and fought a few moves with the man in a panic to avoid the man's kick.
Senator Yang on the other side was not in a much better situation. He was surrounded by four people. He was punched in the chest by mistake. He felt a pain in his chest and his hands lost strength. Someone grabbed his wrist and pulled him forward. He couldn't stand and fell to his knees on the ground, vomiting blood.
The visitor has no intention of leniency!
Even though Councillor Yang often sparred with the generals in the army, he was still a little scared by this kind of fighting. He saw that the man had no intention of stopping and another punch was about to fall on his face. He hurriedly hugged his head with both hands and shouted: "If I die, the people of the Ji family and those who live in the Ji family will be buried with me!"
He was beaten black and blue, with no dignity at all. He couldn't help shaking in pain. Seeing those people so arrogant and strong, he felt a little regretful and scared. Was it too risky? Maybe he should wait a little longer and be more patient.
But now, the deed had been done, and Councillor Yang could only survive in the cracks. When he saw that person had stopped, he shuddered and looked at that person suspiciously, and then blurted out in surprise: "Your Highness?!"
He thought it was someone sent by Xiao Heng, but he never dreamed that the person who came was actually Xiao Heng!
Xiao Heng's skills are surprisingly so good!
The wall of the Yang family's old house is much higher than that of ordinary houses. Xiao Heng climbed up without anyone noticing and was able to pounce down with such swiftness, which shows that his reaction ability and martial arts are first-class.
The emperor sent him to Yunnan to quell the rebellion, not just to gild his reputation, but because he actually had the ability.
Xiao Heng lowered his eyes and looked at him, his face was stern and without any ripples: "Why did you let them be buried with you?"
For some reason, when meeting Xiao Heng's eyes that were as deep as an ancient well, Senator Yang subconsciously took two steps back, and his lips moved but he couldn't make a sound.
At this moment, Su Rong couldn't wait any longer and kicked him hard: "I told you to speak!"
Senator Yang's wife drugged Su Yao, and Senator Yang also had people attack the Ji family. It was obvious that he wanted to bury everyone with him, or use them as bargaining chips. Su Rong was extremely disgusted with this person and had no patience at all.
After being kicked, Councillor Yang shuddered. The injury on his chest seemed to be even more serious. He dared not to fool around anymore. He lowered his head and said, "I, I have already sent a thousand private soldiers of the Yang family to infiltrate the people, and wait for the right time to create chaos."
When there are too many people, trouble tends to occur easily and is more difficult to control.
Su Rong and Xiao Heng were both smart people. As soon as he finished speaking, they understood the viciousness of Councillor Yang's move.
Those private soldiers will definitely seize the opportunity to incite chaos. When the guards inside the wall can no longer control the situation, they will take advantage of the chaos to kill some civilians. Then, they will frame the situation and say that it was the imperial envoys and guards who attacked the civilians.
By then, the people, who were so obsessed with killing, would not care about anything else and would become extremely excited.
Even if the Ji family could protect some people, the conflict with the people was irreversible, and the imperial envoy was completely pushed to the opposite side of the people.
It was impossible for Xiao Heng to mobilize troops from Yunnan again, and no one would listen to him, because that would mean going against the people of Yunnan.
If the people of Yunnan become ruthless, they would tie explosives on themselves and die together with the enemy. Officials in Yunnan have a deep understanding of the local people.
After realizing this, Su Rong fiercely kicked Councillor Yang again, narrowing his eyes in intolerance: "Go and call him back!"
He must have a special signal to contact the private soldiers, just like the signal he was about to send.
Councillor Yang was still silent with a sad face, while Yang Binqing beside him was already shouting in fear: "I'll go! I'll go!"
Councillor Yang shook his head with a bitter face: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid it's too late!"
Although the Ji family had cleared out a group of spies, he had been camping in Yunnan for many years. The Ji family was just a merchant, so how could they be completely on guard? There were still his people in the Ji family. At this time, his people should have opened the door and gone out to cause trouble according to the instructions he sent in.
Su Rong's face changed drastically.
At this time, at the Ji family, Mr. Ji looked at the crumbling gate and said with a sullen face: "No, if this goes on, even these trees won't be able to hold up anything!"
Master Ji was also extremely anxious. Those people were stubborn and believed that the destruction of the ancestral hall was caused by the Ji family. As long as the door was opened, those people would probably trample the Ji family's chickens and ducks to death. He anxiously asked Master Ji: "Dad, let's take action! Don't the imperial guards still have many archers? As long as they climb up to a high place and shoot a group of them to death first, they will naturally be able to deter the others!"
Before Mr. Ji could speak, a resolute shout came from outside the door: "No!"
Master Ji opened his eyes wide in surprise, and saw Su Yao and Ji Yunting coming together. The expressions on their faces were relatively calm, but when they walked in together, he was stunned for a moment.
It was Old Master Ji who reacted and nodded decisively: "It's indeed not possible. This would mean declaring war on the people. The Yang family has deep roots here, with tens of thousands of members. If we start fighting, the casualties will be unpredictable. By then..."
By then, even if they win, the Ji family will not have a good ending.
Grandpa Ji was comforted that his grandson could think of this, but when he saw Su Yao, he couldn't help but feel his eyebrows jump.
