Snap.

The white ivory chess pieces without a trace of impurities landed on the chessboard where the fighting was going on, and the situation of the entire chess game became completely clear.

In the flickering candle shadow, Zhao Ning picked up the sunspots that had been trapped in the dead end one by one and put them into the chess set beside his hand. When the chess pieces collided and a slight tinkling sound was heard, the officials of the governor's office outside the building were training to Hu Hong.

Apologize and retreat.

The tea-making girl who was waiting on the side offered Zhao Ning a cup of steaming tea at the right time. The latter took it and took a sip, with a slight smile in his eyes.

Hu Honglian, who had just been arrogant in front of the officials of the Governor's Office, bowed and reported after entering the door: "Master, they have left. One of them, General Xu, said that Yunzhou soldiers and horses have been assembled and are surrounding the Fang family's mansion. They promise not to let them go."

Fang Dawei ran away, and he will be captured and imprisoned tonight."

Zhao Ning nodded slightly, put down the crystal clear tea bowl, "Let Zhou Yang and Huang Yuandai go there too."

Hu Honglian knew that Zhao Ning was giving these two people, who had been persecuted by the Fang family and even had their lives ruined, a chance to witness the destruction of their enemies and feel proud. He felt warm in his heart for Zhao Ning's thoughtful consideration and human touch, so he said yes,

Then he asked strangely: "Master, why don't you go over and have a look?"

It was Zhao Ning who made such a powerful party like the Fang family destroyed overnight. This amazing act of turning everything upside down was done by Zhao Ning. Now that the Fang family is about to come to an end, Zhao Ning should go there to taste the fruits of victory.

Zhao Ning's eyes fell on the chessboard without turning his head, "I'm too lazy to get off the boat tonight."

Hu Honglian was stunned. The other party's nonchalant attitude surprised her. It was as if the other party did not make a proud plan to overthrow the Fang family with a backhand, but just played a game of chess and drank.

Just a cup of tea.

If it had been anyone else, he would have been extremely proud of himself at this moment and couldn't wait to admire his victory, but Zhao Ning didn't seem to take this matter to heart at all.

Furthermore, there are many masters in the Fang family mansion, including one in the middle stage of the Yuanshen realm, and as many as a dozen in the early stage of the Yuanshen realm. As a powerful force with deep roots in Yunzhou, they also have many powerful foreign aids. If

If a dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, there is no guarantee that something will happen.

If Zhao Ning were present in person, he would be able to deal with the opponent's stubborn resistance in time.

Hu Honglian had heard that when Zhao Ning was fighting in the northern border, he was always around the battle formations and charged into the formations many times, which showed that the opponent was cautious in nature and would not leave the key to success or failure to others.

But now Zhao Ning is more interested in the chess game, as if the chess game is more worthy of study than the Fang family. This uncharacteristic behavior surprised Hu Honglian.

But she thought about it again and quickly felt relieved.

What Zhao Ning pursues is the overall situation of the country, facing the whole world, the country, the country, and military affairs are his daily considerations.

His opponents were also Princess Beihu, aristocratic families, the Tianyuan Army, and even the level of Tianyuan Khan and the Emperor of Daqi. In the past year or so, he did not waste any time in overthrowing the Liu family and the Pang family.

How long does it take to lead the Yanmen Army to kill 100,000 enemies in the northern border, that is, within ten months.

Compared with these opponents, although the Fang family is a powerful party, their weight is still too light. It is normal that they cannot get into Zhao Ning's eyes, and it is natural that it does not give him much sense of accomplishment.

This is like an adult who will never dance with joy just because he stepped on a cockroach.

As for whether there would be any surprises in the encirclement of the Fang family tonight, Hu Honglian knew Zhao Ning well. Although she did not ask, she also knew that various situations must be in Zhao Ning's calculations. The chess pieces on the chessboard

, maybe it represents the actions of both parties.

Since the Fang family can't jump out of the chessboard, they can't jump out of Zhao Ning's palm. Zhao Ning really doesn't need to make a special trip to the city.

This is the kind of confidence that can only come from those who are in control of the situation.

Hu Honglian took a deep breath, bowed and exited the room without saying another word.

Zhao Ning, who continued to study the endgame, was unaware of Hu Honglian's various thoughts. If Hu Honglian had told her thoughts, then Zhao Ning might have told him that the black chess pieces on the chessboard were not just those of the Fang family.

To destroy the Fang family tonight, Zhao Ning used a special method to borrow the power of Feiyuwei.

After the outbreak of the national war in the previous life, the Feiyu Guards, who were hiding in secret, appeared in front of hundreds of officials and carried out large-scale activities. At first, they punished those officials who had taken refuge in Beihu, and sneaked into the enemy territory to assassinate many famous figures. But after

There were two stalemates in the National War, and when Daqi barely stabilized the situation, the main monitoring target of Feiyu Guard changed from external to internal.

Generals with heavy troops, aristocratic families fighting in local areas far away from the center, rebel armies that have arisen spontaneously in various places, and even powerful powerful forces in the rear are all under the surveillance of Feiyu Guards.

The emperor's reason for putting the Feiyu Guards on the table was very legitimate: to prevent these powerful people from defecting and defecting to Beihu, causing heavy losses to the overall situation of the war. It is precisely because of this very legitimate reason, and the war situation does not allow for big things.

It's wrong, so the officials can't object.

It goes without saying how the situation of the national war was, but because of the emperor's distrust of the aristocratic families and the leading generals, the Feiyu Guard later developed to the point of unilaterally monitoring hundreds of officials, which became a nightmare that the officials could not contend with. Under such circumstances,

Zhao Ning often dealt with Feiyuwei.

After his rebirth, he had determined early on that the Feiyu Guards already existed, and their strength should not be underestimated. Among other things, the chief clerk of the Yanping City Patrol Captain's Mansion was the spy of the Feiyu Guards identified by Zhao Ning and Zhang Wenzheng.

The most important step in dealing with the Fang family tonight is undoubtedly to make the other party lose the support of the government. Zhao Ning's biggest restriction is that he cannot let his men openly go to war with the governor's office and rebel blatantly. Then with the help of Feiyuwei's name, he can

It can have the effect of moving a thousand pounds with four ounces.

It is much better for the envoy to send officers and soldiers to deal with the Fang family than to let the practitioners of Yipinlou go into battle in person. After all, there are many practitioners of the Fang family. As long as they fight, people will die. Once someone is captured, they will be captured by the other party.

If you take advantage of the situation, it will be bad.

And a group of Jianghu cultivators with a large number of Yuanshen realm masters sneaked into the state city in large numbers, ignored the official order and the majesty of the court, bloodbathed a powerful party in the middle of the night, destroyed families and clans, and the commotion caused must be too great, and the negative consequences afterwards are difficult to imagine.

Elimination will inevitably bring all kinds of troubles to Zhao Ning and his people that they cannot easily get rid of, and even expose Zhao Ning himself.

Jia Su was an official from a poor family and the governor of a state, so he most likely knew about the existence of the Feiyu Guards.

As long as he knew, the matter couldn't be simpler. Yang Jiani could give him any reason and make him obey the order to help Feiyu Guard deal with the Fang family. For example, the Fang family has risen too fast and is close to the aristocratic family in strength, but the emperor does not want more people in the world.

I don't want to give birth to a family, especially if I don't want to give birth to a family that is riddled with blood debts and crimes.

If the other party didn't know, Zhao Ning would have to go through some trouble.

After returning from the previous summons from Chi Ding, Jia Su did not dare to offend the Feiyu Guards because of his various crimes, and was completely controlled by them. The governor's office abandoned the Fang family and instead tried its best to help them. When the situation developed to this point, with the help of Huang Yuandai's message,

Even if the Fang family has a lot of strong support, it will not pose much of a threat if they want to jump over the wall in a hurry.

What Zhao Ning is thinking about now is what will happen in the future.

If Feiyuwei is fake, will this be exposed? If exposed, what will be the consequences?

There is no airtight wall in the world. After Zhao Ning and others leave Yunzhou, Jia Su is likely to discover the truth over time. So what will happen after he finds out? Will he expose this matter?

If he reveals it, he will have to admit that he was a dignified governor and was deceived by a group of Jianghu people, and also destroyed the Fang family for this reason. This will not only cause him to lose his official position, but may even lose his life. So Jia Su only

If you can keep it a secret, you can swallow this dumb loss.

This analysis is very reasonable, the cause and effect are orderly, and the benefits and harms are clear.

But people do not always follow cause and effect and interests.

People have a heart, and the heart is an unstable thing. It can produce various emotions, fear, greed, jealousy, anger, desire... From the emperor to the common people, no one can completely get rid of the seven emotions and six desires. In the world

Most of the time, people's behavior is determined by human heart and human nature, rather than reason.

Furthermore, how many truly wise men can there be in the world?

In this case, Jia Su may have disclosed this matter because of some thoughts. For example, he was afraid and worried that this matter would be exposed and discovered by others. This other person might be someone pretending to be Feiyuwei and bragging about it.

, it is also possible that Feiyuwei discovered it on his own, so in order to protect himself, he might want to confess before the incident happened, ask for leniency, or take meritorious service!

Even if he didn't take the initiative to confess his crime, would it be possible for him, under the weight of worry day and night, to confide this matter to others and ask others to help him save him and give him advice? Yes.

All these are behaviors that seem extremely stupid and unreasonable. But just like people are afraid of ghosts, believe that good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil, and kneel down to gods and make wishes for money. Although it is stupid, it is very common.

Zhao Ning will not place his hopes on others.

Snap.

A white stone fell on the chessboard.

...

When Zhao Ning dropped the last chess piece and had plans for what would happen a long time ago, Zhou Yang and Huang Yuandai, led by a man in green from Yipinlou, had just arrived in front of the Fang family mansion.

Officials from the governor's office and soldiers from the Yunzhou local army have surrounded the Fang family's mansion.

The nearby residents heard the commotion and discovered that such a grand and strange thing had happened outside. Regardless of the cold wind, they gathered outside to watch enthusiastically, and soon began to discuss and point at each other.

"Isn't the Fang family a kind family? Why did the officials come to surround them?"

"Who says otherwise? Since the current head of the Fang family came to power, the Fang family has been building bridges and repairing roads over the years. In the cold winter months, the Fang family will also build porridge sheds to give porridge to the poor."

"Why should the officials deal with such a good family? Even the soldiers are dispatched, this matter is not a big deal!"

"I haven't heard that the Fang family has done anything bad or evil before. The government's action was too sudden, and it happened late at night. Could it be that the Fang family has offended the governor, and the governor wants to avenge his private revenge?"

"Nonsense. I heard that the governor has a good relationship with the Fang family and they often communicate with each other. How could the governor treat the Fang family like this?"

"Who else could he be if he wasn't the governor? The facts are right in front of us."

"Let me see, tonight is not a big deal. The official may have come here for another reason. We don't know the situation, so we should not jump to conclusions."

"Yes, yes, in short, I think the Fang family will not commit any serious crimes... If the Fang family is not a virtuous family, how can they maintain the golden status of being 'invincible in court' for so many years?"

Hearing the discussion of the people, Zhou Yang and Huang Yuandai looked at each other. The former looked unhappy, but the latter smiled and said: "Look, I told you a long time ago that most of the people are ignorant. You still don't believe it.

."

Zhou Yang was secretly annoyed: "The level that ordinary people can access is limited, and the government has deliberately guided the direction of public opinion. It is understandable that they don't know the truth about good and evil. If not, what else do you and I do? We should tell them

Let them know the real truth and protect their kindness."

Huang Yuandai sneered at these words:

"Ignorance is the original sin. I can't be their patron saint. When disaster strikes, will I avoid you because you are stupid? I have said long ago that pedantry limits your wisdom, why don't you wake up?"

"It's you who should wake up. We read the books of sages and receive their teachings, so we should take responsibility!"

"You committed suicide today by drowning yourself in the river. You almost didn't survive. Why do you still have so many messy thoughts?"

"Principles and responsibilities should be taken to the grave even after death, and there is no reason to throw them away!"

"Pedantic, pedantic, simply stupid!"

Just like they usually do when getting along, the two of them had a heated argument because they had completely opposite views on one thing.

While they were talking, Fang Dawei in the mansion was standing under the eaves, and with a low expression he ordered the Fang family practitioners in the courtyard:

"After leaving the tunnel, the letter must be delivered within half a stick of incense! A slutty governor actually wants to fall out with the iron-clad Fang family, so let's make the governor sober and let him know who is in charge in Yunzhou!
Chapter completed!
