Bai Lian, who was bound, did not understand for a moment what the Yuzhou King in front of him was talking about. He only vaguely knew that this Yuzhou King seemed to be really going to kill everyone.
"Tell me, where is your granary hidden?"
"Chang Laosi, you want food!" Bai Lian smiled grimly, "In the end, you, Chang Xiaotang, are just a rice seller! Without our support, you want to be emperor, which is a fool's dream!"
Changshiro was not angry. He did sell rice, but unlike other merchants, selling rice was his side business, and fighting the rebellion was his main business.
In this troubled world, whoever is a loser doesn't want to get ahead, and he can write for thousands of years.
"Chang Xiaotang, if it's not like this. If you let me go back, I will give you the location of the granary and use it as money to buy my life." Bai Lian hesitated for a moment and hurriedly put down his posture.
As a defeated general, he knew very well that now was not the time to act heroic.
"Say it first, and I'll think about it later." Chang Shiro looked impatient and spoke calmly.
"Haha, I'm not stupid. If I tell you, you will cross the river to tear me down -" Bai Lian didn't finish his sentence, and his voice suddenly stopped. At some point, a bright silver gun was shot and pierced into his chest.
chest.
"Then let's not talk about it. I didn't expect you to spit out ivory from a dog's mouth." Changshiro fired back, his voice extremely calm.
"Chang Wei, go to the leader. Inform all the rebels that the enemy chief is dead and surrender immediately!"
"Master is mighty!"
Chang Wei shouted ecstatically, jumped onto Bai Lian's body, raised his knife, and cut off the head. Then he ran to a higher place, picked up Bai Lian's head, and angrily persuaded him to surrender.
"My lord, are you a little anxious?" The old counselor beside him thought for a moment and spoke seriously. He had previously thought that Bai Lian would be kept as a threat. But he never thought that his lord would simply do it.
The ground took action.
"Zhongde, during this period of time, everyone in the inner city and the whole world is laughing at me, Chang Xiaotang, for turning into a waste. If this is the case, then I, Chang Xiaotang, should regain my overlord status.
"Why does this Grain King show pity to the young master? He may not tell you about the granary. It's nothing more than a delaying tactic."
"My lord is right." The old counselor nodded, "Next, it's time to clean up. However, not all the people on the side of the Grain King will be dispatched. The most likely reason is that they are forced by the situation and can only temporarily
Leave the inner city."
"The Food King's power is spread all over the world. I knew from the beginning that it would be impossible to catch them all. However, apart from the Food King, the biggest gains should be from those stupid families."
As he spoke, Tsuneshiro gritted his teeth.
"Previously, even if the Grain King had not entered the inner city, these people were already ready to make a move. I, Chang Shiro, want a family that can help me conquer the world, not a fool who dares to take credit for himself and be arrogant after having made a small contribution!"
"Zhongde, please personally deliver the order. If the rebellious head of the family wants to save the family, he must hand over all his money and business to the state treasury within three days. If not, wait until I personally take action. At worst, I will kill everyone in my family before committing suicide."
Empty his coffers!"
Changshiro's voice was angry. This time, he was really angry. He would have been held back by the power of the Food King. However, many aristocratic families who usually fawned over him actually dared to draw their swords against each other...??m
…
Tread.
At this time, in a small town not far from Changyang, only two or three carriages were about to leave.
There were about two people who looked like wealthy businessmen, frowning, sitting together in a carriage. Even though they were not talking, both of them had extremely irritable looks on their faces.
Some people were happy and some were sad about the mutiny in the inner city. At the beginning, they were naturally happy. But as the war progressed, it was later discovered that from beginning to end, it was the King of Yuzhou and the Nine-Fingered Wuwei who were behind the plan.
.
Unfortunately, they fell into the trap. They were like turtles in a urn, almost being played to death.
"I just got the information that the third son's son is dead."
"Bai Lian."
One of them, a fatter wealthy businessman, sighed and looked out the window.
"What happened in the inner city caught me by surprise. I didn't expect Chang Laosi's temper to be so tough."
"Chang Laosi is not simple. We failed. Do you remember what Lao Wu said when he disappeared?"
"Forgot, what did he say? However, this old man must have cheated his death. Don't let me find him, otherwise, I will take his skin off."
"Lao Wu told us not to interfere. Even if we want to move, we will have to wait until Xu Buyi or the King of Yuzhou gain the power to sweep the world."
"By then, it will be too late, and the benefits gained will be less and less."
"Hey, we have chosen the master three times. Who should we choose next?"
"Prime Minister Xiao, Empress Dowager Su, Chang Laosi... I and these people really chose the master three times, but failed every time. However, there is another Xu Buyi in Xishu, and we have to be careful. If he really becomes the emperor, we will definitely survive.
No, please choose another one."
"After this big defeat, you and I should restrain ourselves. As for Xishu, we should temporarily withdraw our actions. At least, the new master who has been chosen will have the potential to rise."
On the carriage, both of them began to look towards the south.
…
Outside Changyang City, as the war ended, a dense row of prisoners knelt down. These prisoners were no strangers to the Changyang people who were watching.
Among them, many people are from aristocratic families who were once at a high level.
Tsuneshiro stood on the balcony, with no mercy in his eyes. Behind him, in addition to his trusted advisers and generals, there were also many aristocratic families who had chosen the right camp in this counter-rebellion.
These people, led by Wang Long, stood firmly behind Chang Shiro.
"Behead!" Chang Shiro's voice was cold as he dropped the beheading stick.
"Spare, spare my life, Lord, spare my life!"
Many of the people to be executed were young men from aristocratic families. At this time, they were all crying and facing Tsuneshiro, begging for mercy.
But he didn't shout a few more times. Following the executioner's movements, heads fell to the ground one after another.
After a while, someone among the onlookers finally cheered. Then, the cheers became louder and louder, until they became a large undulating mass.
"Congratulations, lord."
Changshiro exhaled, and his face showed a rare trace of relaxation.
The King of Grain's entry into the inner city was just an opportunity. He had already had a premonition of the chaos in the family earlier. It was just right that he could carry out one pot at a time. Unfortunately, after this round of counterinsurgency, internal strife was serious. In the short term
Within a short period of time, there was no way to continue the southern expedition.
He had heard that Yuan Song had taken advantage of the opportunity to attack Kezhou.
"Zhongde, according to your wishes, in the next two years, we will focus on defense. When the time is right, I, Chang Xiaotang, will march south to conquer the world!"
"My lord, you are becoming more and more like a hero."
"We are willing to follow your lord!" Around Chang Silang, such as Liu Ji, Wang Long, and many generals and counselors from aristocratic families, they all held their hands and shouted firmly.
