At eleven o'clock in the evening, the reception at Silver Castle ended and the guests left one after another.

At this time, the game of "helping others" on the balcony has come to an end.

"My uncle's great kindness and kindness will never be forgotten by my family."

"If it hadn't been for my uncle's mercy tonight, the slave family might have died here."

Chen Xing was leaning on the wicker chair, drinking black tea and enjoying Dongfang Xuanran's shoulder rub and soft words.

"Sir, Viscount Wu Hai would like to see you."

"Let him in."

Dongfang Xuanran stood up and separated from Chen Xing, sitting on another wicker chair. Although they had the most intimate contact, they still had to keep an appropriate distance in front of outsiders.

"Sir, the list of nobles who did not attend tonight's cocktail party has come out." Wu Haihui reported.

Chen Xing nodded, "Call the others and have a meeting in the side hall later."

"yes!"

After a while, Chen Xing brought Dongfang Xuanran to the side hall. Xiang Caidi, Wu Hai, Zhu Zexi and others were present.

Since the matter discussed tonight involves political tactics, which is relatively dirty as the saying goes, I did not call Huozu and the others.

In view of Dongfang Xuanran's performance tonight, Chen Xing decided to bring her along for discussion. After all, she is also one of the future controllers of this city.

"Sir, there are more than ten families who did not come to the reception. Among them, the Bao family danced the most. The head of the family, Bao Yongnian, even publicly said that even if their home was raided, he would not come to carry a excrement basin for you."

"The Bao family and the Wei family are related by marriage. Relying on this relationship, Bao Yongnian is arrogant, domineering and arrogant. In this incident, Bao Yongnian even publicly threatened others, saying that whoever dares to come to the reception will not give him the Bao family's face.

When he returns to the royal family of the Weiwei clan, he will definitely not let him go."

Wu Hai's eyes were sinister and he said in a deep voice, "My subordinates thought that the master simply fulfilled Bao Yongnian's wish and confiscated his home and exterminated his clan!"

"Haha..." Chen Xing laughed, "Did he really say that?" The meaning of the smile on his face was unclear, "Even if his home is raided, he will not surrender?"

Wu Hai hesitated for a few seconds, then gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, sir, he said that!"

Wu Hai's tone was decisive, leaving no room for error.

Chen Xing glanced at Wu Hai for a few times, then withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "Then I'll leave this matter to you."

Wu Hai immediately showed gratitude and said loudly, "Thank you, Sir!"

After Wu Hai and a group of nobles left, Xiang Caidi couldn't help but said, "He is lying. I have read the information and found out that this Bao Yongnian is over a hundred years old and is not a vigorous young man. How could he speak so impulsively?"

Come on?"

Chen Xing smiled and said nothing.

Dongfang Xuanran on the side turned her head and faced Xiang Caidi, "Sister Xiang is a hero among women, with a straightforward personality, but in this power arena, there is no clear distinction between black and white."

"As the saying goes, if the water is clear, there will be no fish; if the water is clear, there will be no disciples."

"Although your Excellency is not an emperor, you are well versed in the art of strategizing. You know how to grasp the big and let go of the small, and weigh the importance. I admire you very much."

"I don't understand all your twists and turns." Xiang Caidi shrugged, "Anyway, I just want to fight."

At one o'clock in the middle of the night, the Bao family led by Yin Ying was suddenly surrounded by heavy soldiers.

Several police aeroboats hung in the sky, alternating red and blue lights. Dozens of beams of light cast from the sky illuminated the entire mansion, and no corner could escape the illumination of the searchlights.

Noisy sounds came from the mansion, mixed with the screams of women, the barking of hounds, and the cries of children.

"Galaxy Railroad!"

With a deep shout, a railway track appeared out of thin air and was laid towards the mansion.

.The high-pitched whistle sounded, and a rusty train drove out of the void. With a roar, it knocked a huge gap into the mansion.

Wu Hai and his soldiers swarmed in, and all of a sudden there was a lot of excitement and screams.

"Master Wu, what are you doing!"

A middle-aged and elderly nobleman rushed to Wu Hai with a puzzled look on his face, "Master Wu, we have already agreed to your terms and are counting the property and preparing to donate half of it. Why do you still break into private houses at night!"

But he saw Wu Hai's brows furrowed, his anger overwhelming, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Bao Yongnian, you beast with a human face and a beast's heart!"

"Do you remember that seventeen years ago, you were greedy for the beauty of my wife, and on the pretext of my promotion, you lured her into the house, drugged her and humiliated her..."

Wu Hai gritted his teeth, as if what happened that year was right in front of him, "It's a pity that she was still eight months pregnant. She couldn't bear the humiliation afterwards and hanged herself. One body and two lives!"

"I will destroy your entire clan today to comfort the souls of your wife and children in heaven!"

"You, you are avenging private revenge!" Bao Yongnian shouted.

"I'm just avenging my personal revenge, what's wrong!" Wu Hai sneered.

"You, you!" Bao Yongnian pointed at Wu Hai, trembling all over and unable to say a word.

"Do it!" Wu Hai waved his hand vigorously, "If anyone resists, shoot without mercy!"

As soon as the order was given, soldiers like wolves and tigers rushed into all parts of the mansion. In an instant, screams, cries, and screams could be heard.

Not long after, Bao Yongnian fell to the ground covered in blood, his limbs twisted at strange angles, his joints shattered and his tendons severed.

Wu Hai stood like a sculpture, with a pair of iron fists stained with blood.

"You, you are so cruel..." Bao Yongnian said weakly, with blood bubbles coming from the seam of his mouth.

"Did you hear the screams of my wife and children that day?" Wu Hai raised his iron fist, "Did you ever have any mercy!"

"Go to hell and repent!"

The iron fist carried wind and thunder and crashed down.

"Crack!"

The floor tiles cracked and Bao Yongnian's head was smashed into the ground. His neck was broken on the spot and he was bleeding profusely.

Revenge after many years passed like a storm, blood flowed freely in the simple and luxurious mansion, and corpses were everywhere.

"Sir, what should we do with these children?"

A group of children were pushed in front of Wu Hai. The oldest was thirteen or fourteen years old, and the youngest was still in his infancy.

Wu Hai held a pair of iron fists with a ferocious expression, like a raging lion. Everywhere he looked, people shuddered.

After being silent for a long time, Wu Hai exhaled heavily, his muscles suddenly relaxed, and he waved his hand, "Send it to the Eastern Continent."

The soldiers were about to drive the children away when a young man turned around and stared at Wu Hai with wolf-like eyes, "If you don't kill me, I will destroy your whole family one day!"

The soldier's expression changed, and he slapped the young man on the face, "I called you a bitch!"

Wu Hai walked over, grabbed the young man's collar, and stared into his eyes. The young man stared at him unwilling to be outdone, looking fearless.

"A dog that barks does not bite, and a dog that bites does not bark."

"If you want revenge, you have to be like me. Say nothing and endure it for seventeen years."

"You're welcome to come back anytime."

"But I hate you, you don't have the temperament and ability."

Wu Hai patted the young man's face, "You are just a waste, a waste that can only use your mouth forever!" He dropped the boy and tilted his head towards the soldier, "Take it away!"

The day after the Bao family was ransacked, Chen Xing, the supreme commander of the expeditionary force, and Dongfang Xuanran, the fifth princess of Black Feather, held a record meeting.

At the press conference, it was announced that the orthodox heir of the Silver Claw Principality is Wei Luo, the son of Wei Qinghe, the grandson of the former head of the country, Wei Haitang. The enthronement ceremony will be held three days later.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]

Everyone saw the fate of the Bao family, and with Chen Xing respecting the tradition of royal succession, everyone had a step to step down from, and the aristocratic families that were still resisting surrendered one after another.

Although this result is not very satisfactory, after all, Wei Luo's other identity is the grandson of Marquis Zilan and the son of the fifth princess of Black Feather. In the coming years, the Silver Claw Principality will surely fall to Chen Xing and the Black Feather Royal Family.

within the control of.

But the target of surrender for these powerful families was not Chen Xing, but Dongfang Xuanran.

At Dongfang Xuanran's soft plea, Chen Xing agreed to reduce a certain amount of war compensation, from 50% to 30% of the family property.

Those who have already given money will receive half of it back, which is 25% of the total family property.

This move is to stabilize the situation in the Principality of Silver Claw. Only with the full cooperation of the nobles can the social order of the Principality of Silver Claw be quickly restored and become a machine that can supply blood for a long time.

Giving up short-term interests is not because Chen Xing has a long-term vision. If possible, he would even want to wipe out most of the wealthy families and play the trick of attacking local tyrants and robbing evil gentry, but because the rules set by the Human Survival Committee do not allow it.

.

If chaos occurs in the Silver Claw Principality during its occupation, Chen Xing, as the interim ruler, will need to bear corresponding responsibilities.

Also, this is a civil war in the kingdom, a power struggle between princes and princes, not the kind of national war that fights to the last soldier. If Chen Xing goes too far, his reputation in the entire Longxi River Basin will be

It will decline, and it will also affect the Northern Princess.

Of course, Aaliyah may not care that much about reputation, but as a minister, she must think more about her master.

Three days later, the enthronement ceremony was held as scheduled. Wei Luo, who was only four and a half years old, ascended the throne as king, inherited the title of Marquis of Haitang, and was titled "Marquis of Black Eagle", becoming the new generation master of the Silver Eagle Territory.

Marquis Blackhawk, who was still a bit arrogant, immediately announced a series of important orders after ascending the throne.

1. Appoint Chen Xing as the Prime Minister of the Silver Claw Principality, to exercise the highest administrative power of the Principality, and to manage all domestic and foreign affairs as the highest chief executive of the Principality.
