The speaking voices stopped, and the officials in the hall looked in the direction of the voice, with disbelieving expressions on their faces.
A man in a scarlet official robe walked in casually.
Every step is like walking on the tip of these people.
Didn't Fang Jun die? So what appeared in front of them today? Human or ghost? What on earth happened? …
Questions popped up in their minds, but no one answered them. Some even cautiously looked underground and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Fang Jun's shadow.
It's better to be a human than a ghost.
"You don't seem to welcome me very much?" Fang Jun suppressed the smile on his face, not angry.
"How could it be?" The first official who came to his senses forced a smile, "We just didn't expect Mr. Fang to come over suddenly."
"Yes," Fang Jun nodded in agreement, but the next words made everyone's hearts hang high, "How can a dead person suddenly appear at your 'celebration banquet'?"
"What did Mr. Fang say? How could we..."
Fang Jun waved his hand, indicating that he needn't say much, and walked in like he was visiting his own garden.
"You guys are living a good life. If it wasn't for the fact that I have been walking all the way, I really felt that Subei was affected by the drought. I would have suspected that someone had deliberately released the news. The court could not receive the news of the drought in Subei. Could it be because Don't all the ministers feel that there is a natural disaster in Subei?"
Every time Lord Fang said something, the faces of the people present turned ugly. They are in Subei, don't they know the situation in Subei? .
They have already dragged on for so long, and they don't care about dragging it out for a few more days, since they are not the ones who are hungry anyway.
Fang Jun knew what they were thinking without asking, and he didn't intend to argue with them here. What did they do that shouldn't be done, how much loss did they cause, and every account, the court would have to punish them liquidation.
"You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. Does Mr. Fang know what he is talking about?" The person sitting in the first place stood up, showing displeasure.
There was a faint uneasiness in his heart, but he couldn't show it, besides, his eyeliner was all over Subei, if something really happened, he shouldn't be able to hear it.
At this moment, he subconsciously ignored Fang Jun's sudden appearance, and he didn't get the news in advance.
"Is Mr. Hou angry because of the central thoughts? I couldn't understand it before, but I understand it today. If what I see and hear every day is like this, it's no wonder that I can't see that the outside world is already starving and dying. Mr. Hou Say, yes or no?" Lord Fang stood below, looking straight at Lord Hou who was wearing a fine attire.
There was a fire hidden in his eyes, it was anger, although Fang Jun didn't show it on his face, but he was indeed angry at the moment, especially after seeing this situation.
Wine pools and meat forests, extravagant pleasures, even His Majesty who is most qualified to enjoy these things has never done this, how dare these people
As if being burned by the flames in Fang Jun's eyes, Lord Hou turned his eyes away, not daring to look at him: "Master Fang is joking, I am in Subei, how could I turn a blind eye to the disaster in Subei? Today's banquet is just a Seeing that the situation in Subei has eased, I want to ease the tension of my subordinates."
"Really?" Lord Fang suddenly smiled, "Isn't it to get rid of this official blocking the way?"
Master Hou didn't expect Fang Jun to be so straightforward, his expression changed again and again, he looked towards the corner of the hall, and made a gesture with the hand hanging by his side, no matter how Fang Jun escaped in the first place, since he dared to come here alone, don't It's strange that he used his own blood to cheer them up.
But Master Hou waited for a long time, but the hall was still quiet, the singing and dancing had stopped long ago, and the hands he had deployed did not move.
what happened
Master Hou panicked.
He walked up to Fang Jun a few steps, and asked sharply, "What did you do?"
The nerves paralyzed by alcohol finally regained some sobriety at this moment, and he remembered more things that were wrong, such as why he had arranged for someone to wait outside, why there was no notification when Fang Jun came in, for example, Fang Jun was obviously a How could a dead person appear here in a grand manner? Before that, he hadn't heard any news...
"Shouldn't I be asking you this?" Fang Jun said coldly, "Master Hou, what did you do? Your Majesty handed Subei into your hands so that you could watch the people of Subei starve to death ?!"
"It turns out that you are not dead," Master Hou laughed, "but what can you do when you come here alone? To me, being scolded for a few words is not painful or itchy, but it is you, Master Fang, this time You threw yourself into a trap, but I want to see how you can escape this time?"
"Come on, this person is pretending to be an official of the imperial court, and I will arrest him!" Lord Hou said sternly.
"There is no need to struggle, Master Hou," Xun Chao straightened his clothes, and Shi Shiran stood up, "Why should you deceive yourself, no matter what you call, the people you arranged to protect you will not show up."
"You lied to me too?" Lord Hou's eyes were about to burst, "I think I treat you kindly, why did you do that?!"
"Yes, my lord treats me well, but I am a citizen of Dahuan first, and an official under your subordinates second. Oh, that's not right. I am an official of Dahuan. Your lord should wake up. Subei is Da Huan's, not your private property, my lord."
"I just said that the news of the severe drought in Subei has been clearly ordered not to be spread outside. So it was you who reported the news to the imperial court?"
Xun Chao did not deny it.
The other officials were confused by this scene, so they watched the three confront each other because they didn't know.
"I should have thought earlier, you were left behind by that person, how could you have the same heart with Subei?" Master Hou murmured.
"Your Excellency is wrong. The lower officials have always had the same heart with Subei, but the Lord's heart is biased." Xun Chao retorted mercilessly.
There was the sound of neat footsteps, and there was noise outside. Xun Chao and Fang Jun glanced at each other, and the Subei Army had arrived.
Fang Jun did not act with the Subei Army, he came earlier, with a few Yinlong Guards, and the outsiders were quietly dealt with by the Yinlong Guards, while he entered the hall alone, if things changed, he would It will remind the Yinlongwei hiding outside to let the Subei Army change its plan. If the plan goes ahead as usual, the Subei Army will come within half an hour.
He observed the situation in the hall as soon as he entered the hall, and then reminded the Yinlongwei guarding outside according to the plan.
When the Subei Army broke into the main hall, Master Hou's face changed completely: "When did you contact the Subei Army?"
The existence of the Subei Army has always been a thorn in Mr. Hou's heart. If such a powerful force can be used by him, of course no one will be unhappy, but what happens when this power cannot be used by him anyway
It will only make people feel stuck in the throat.
The existence of the Subei Army reminded him all the time that he could never become the real master of Subei, how could he bear it, who had already regarded Subei as his own
Over the years, he has spent a lot of effort and put his own manpower in the Subei Army. Now, it is considered to be somewhat effective. Why didn't he notify the court of the severe drought in Subei? He just wanted to delay time and take this opportunity to go deeper Master the Subei Army, and when the Subei Army falls under his command, he will naturally ask the court for help.
After all, it is a large sum of money and supplies, and there is no reason to let it go easily.
"You don't need Lord Hou to worry about that," Lord Fang nodded to the Subei Army headed by him, "Take them all away."
These people were imprisoned in the government office they once occupied, but this time they lived in a dark and dank prison.
After Fang Jun dealt with everything, he was about to say something when suddenly his eyes went dark and he fell forward.
"Lord Fang!" Xun Chao subconsciously wanted to catch him, but the two were not close, and it was too late for him to react.
The general of the Subei Army who was discussing with him had quick eyes and quick hands, and helped him up, preventing Mr. Fang from falling to the ground.
"Quickly, please come over to Doctor Wu."
Xun Chao ordered the servant to invite someone, and bowed his hands to the general of the Subei Army with a wry smile: "Thank you General Wei, I have to trouble the general for the next thing."
"Master Fang, this is..."
"Your Excellency was already injured, and this time he acted forcefully. At that time, in order to avoid being discovered by Lord Hou's people, he didn't dare to seek a doctor, so he dealt with it hastily."
Fortunately, Physician Wu happened to come to the main city these two days, and he arrived at the government office not long after.
Treat Master Fang's wound again and bandage it up. After the treatment, Imperial Physician Wu cleaned his hands: "Fortunately, Master Fang has a good foundation. I will prescribe a prescription, and it will be healed after a few days."
Xun Chao, who was on the sidelines, breathed a sigh of relief. He also participated in the assassination plan. If something happened to Mr. Fang, he would feel uneasy.
This time, the notebook was passed to Shang Junlin as quickly as possible, and it was also written by Subei Army and Xun Chao alone.
It was also at this time that Shen Yu and Shang Junlin knew that Fang Jun was injured.
The zhezi was sent to Shang Junlin in the form of a secret letter, and the court would get the official news a little later. Without the obstruction of those officials from Mr. Hou, Subei's zhezi could be heard by Datian normally.
"Fortunately, His Majesty sent Yinlongwei to secretly protect Lord Fang. Counting this time, Lord Fang has been assassinated no less than five times. Those people are really unwilling to let it go." Shen Yu sighed.
"Fang Jun posed a threat to them, and they naturally wouldn't let it go easily. Yinlongwei also found out a lot of secrets. Over the years, the officials who died in Subei for no reason were more or less related to them. "Shang Junlin's voice was slightly cold.
"How does Your Majesty plan to deal with these people? Should they be taken back or dealt with directly in Subei?" Many officials were arrested this time, and the matters involved are also very big. If they want to press back to the capital, it is too easy for accidents to happen midway.
"I don't intend to force them back, let them comfort the souls of those who died because of them in Subei."
"That's fine. Their crimes should be announced to Quan Dahuan. What about the person who spread the rumors? Does Your Majesty know who it is?"
"We'll know right away." The bait has been dropped, just waiting for the big fish to bite.
"When does Your Majesty plan to deal with those people in Subei?" Shen Yu leaned on Shang Junlin and moved.
"What do you think, Ah Yu?" Shang Junlin raised his hand and touched his gloomy face.
"Your Majesty, set the time in ten days. At least the first execution will be on that day."
In fact, this time was a bit rushed, but Shang Junlin didn't ask any more questions, and only answered "Yes".
"Your Majesty won't ask me why I decided to set the date?" Shen Yu turned around, looking at Shang Junlin with burning eyes.
