Following Yang Fan's order, several warships slowly docked at the dock.
The heavily armed soldiers lined up neatly and escorted the prisoners ashore with murderous intent, causing a sensation along the entire coast.
On the one hand, the majestic and domineering battleships are awe-inspiring. These several-story steel battleships are really shocking to people.
After all, these warships were enough to crush all the warships of the Tang Dynasty.
The soldiers' senses are even more heightened. Standing on the boat, you can overlook most of Huating County, which can put great pressure on people.
Of course, this also fascinated the onlookers, and many people even had the idea of becoming sailors.
On the other hand, the murderous intent displayed by this navy is enough to make people tremble with fear.
You must know that these navy soldiers have only been recruited for several months.
Compared with those veterans who have fought hundreds of battles, they are not inferior at all!
Seeing this scene, those families with evil intentions couldn't help but feel a sense of fear in their hearts.
I even regretted agreeing to participate in the plan to deal with Yang Fan a few days ago, and almost wanted to abandon it on the spot.
However, once you enter the game, how can you easily exit?
Especially those members of the aristocratic family who were somewhat reluctant to begin with, even developed a hint of hostility towards Wang Yu, the leader.
Wang Yu, who was standing on the shore watching, was shocked but pretended to smile as if nothing had happened.
Although he was very worried, he could not help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, we tied these wavering family members together early, otherwise there might have been big problems.
Now it's too late for these people to quit!
Of course, at this time Wang Yu also became more vigilant and paid more attention to it.
He really didn't expect Yang Fan's men to be so fierce.
How long has it been!
It is simply unbelievable that the pirates who have been wandering along the Jiangnan coast for decades or hundreds of years were so easily eliminated by Yang Fan.
What shocked Wang Yu the most was that the pirates who had previously been associated with Jiangnan aristocratic families like them had lost contact, which horrified him.
If Yang Fan knew that these aristocratic families were colluding with pirates, it would be very likely that Yang Fan would be able to find a handle and put these Jiangnan aristocratic families into an unfavorable situation.
You know, nowadays the legend about Yang Fan is spreading throughout the Jiangnan area, and ordinary people all praise him.
This is definitely unfavorable to Jiangnan aristocratic families like them.
Especially the battle of Yang Fan Yuntai Mountain completely shattered the courage of many people from aristocratic families, making their Jiangnan world no longer monolithic.
If Yang Fan takes advantage of the opportunity of annihilating the pirates to wipe out the hostile Jiangnan families, it will be another bloody storm...
Have no idea!
A murderer like Yang Fan came to Jiangnan, but he never looked good to the families who opposed him.
Now that Yang Fan's men have returned victorious from slaying the pirates, how can they not make the disaffected families look at each other with horror and make them unable to sleep at night?
Even if Yang Fan didn't dare to kill all of them, there would be no good consequences if Yang Fan targeted them.
Just like the aristocratic families that were wiped out in Huating County, if Yang Fan is in a bad mood, he will not show mercy at all if he raises the butcher's knife.
Seeing Yang Fan standing on the dock talking and laughing with King Li Tai of Wei, many people from the aristocratic family were like frightened birds.
With a killer like Yang Fan in Jiangnan, how will you live in the future?
Everyone vaguely knew that the Grand Governor had trouble getting along with the nobles.
When he was in Guanzhong, the Grand Governor often made trouble for members of the noble family.
If one day this guy is in a bad mood and becomes ferocious and plans to attack the Jiangnan nobles, everyone will shudder just thinking about it!
So when the people from the aristocratic family headed by Wang Yu stood not far from Yang Fan and welcomed the victorious return of Su Dingfang and others with smiles on their faces, many people from the aristocratic family unknowingly distanced themselves from Wang Yu.
It was completely different from the feelings of those people from aristocratic families. The voices of the people watching became louder and louder, and they respected Yang Fan like a god.
You must know that these pirates have brought a lot of trouble to the people who rely on seafood for their livelihood.
Even many relatives and friends of ordinary people lost their lives at the hands of these pirates.
Therefore, the pirates who were escorted ashore were all despised by the people, and they even wanted to beat these pirates to death on the spot.
Of course, these common people also heard Yang Fan's order.
Knowing that Yang Fan wanted to use these pirates to build Huating Town, no one stopped shouting and killing.
After all, the reputation of Yang Fan, the governor-general, has taken root in the hearts of the people in Jiangnan.
The people of China are so kind and lovely. They know who is good to them!
As a result, the hatred and anger in the hearts of the people towards the pirates all turned into praise for Yang Fan, the great governor.
"These ferocious pirates must have finally met their nemesis. If they dare to cause trouble under the rule of the governor, they will only die. Let's see how arrogant they will be in the future."
Some merchants passing by Jiangnan to see the excitement couldn't help but raise some questions in their minds.
"Aren't these pirates very cruel? Why do they look like quails? They don't look like such vicious people!"
Before he finished speaking, someone immediately retorted.
"Come on, people shouldn't be judged by their appearance. Could it be that a bad guy would write the word cruelty on his face for you to see?"
"That's not necessarily the case. Appearance comes from the heart, and you can still tell a little bit about whether it's good or bad."
"You don't know this. Do you know how many times the imperial navy has destroyed pirates in the past? They all returned without success. If it weren't for the wisdom and martial prowess of our Grand Governor, how could these pirates be captured so easily?"
"Hmph, haven't you heard? Our Grand Governor is the reincarnation of the God of War. That's why these clowns are so good. If anyone dares to question our Grand Governor again, I'll see if I don't slap him!"
Seeing that the people were filled with indignation, the uninformed merchants no longer dared to question anything.
The people were talking a lot, each holding their own opinions and complimenting each other. At this time, they seemed to have forgotten that they had previously regarded Yang Fan as a murderous demon who loved to eat human flesh.
On a hillside not far away, several veiled people were looking forward to the dock.
When seeing how popular Yang Fan was, the leader's eyes couldn't help but flash with a hint of coldness.
All sentient beings have everything except the different mentality of these people.
The officials and aristocratic families who came to greet him formed two different camps.
Officials from Huating County surrounded Yang Fan like stars holding the moon.
Almost all of these officials were single-handedly promoted by Yang Fan, and they didn't care whether they were princes or not.
In their eyes, Yang Fan is the one they are loyal to.
Li Tai, who was left out in the cold, could only chat awkwardly with people from aristocratic families.
Seeing this, Yang Fan showed great dignity, smiled, and said to Wei King Li Tai with a smile: "Your Highness, King Wei, you see, the people in the south of the Yangtze River are really enthusiastic. I thought that if we killed too much, the people would be afraid, so I regard myself as
The governor is a scourge, but now it seems that the governor is quite popular."
"Of course, His Highness has a noble status and is very popular among the Jiangnan nobles. It's true that birds of a feather flock together! I can only have fun with these common people."
Li Tai's fat face twitched slightly, as if he didn't hear the sarcasm in the words at all, he laughed and said: "Brother-in-law, what you said is wrong, you are a subordinate of the court, and you are the governor of Jiangnan Road, who can
Dare to put on airs in front of you?"
"The reason why these Jiangnan nobles are surrounding me is because they are familiar with me. My brother-in-law is overly worried."
"Brother-in-law, you make me jealous. Think about it, I have governed Jiangnan for many years. Although the folk customs here are simple and the people are all kind-hearted people, they are not as popular as you!"
Yang Fan glanced at Li Tai and laughed loudly: "I am so flattered by His Highness the King of Wei's praise. I almost believe it myself! Haha!"
"I think it's not that His Highness is familiar with the people from these aristocratic families, but that the people from these aristocratic families are afraid that someone will attack them, so they seek His Highness's protection."
Li Tai looked embarrassed and didn't know how to answer the question.
Yang Fan was a little disapproving. He came closer to Li Tai, reached out and patted Li Tai's thick shoulder, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Your Highness, King Wei, you must remember the mission His Majesty sent you to Jiangnan this time. Don't be fooled."
Some people sugar-coated the fruit and gave it to the captives!"
Seeing Li Tai's depressed expression, Yang Fan was so happy that he laughed and turned to leave.
The people from the aristocratic families on the side all had black lines on their faces.
This Grand Governor really dares to say it.
What shocked them even more was that Yang Fan actually patted Li Tai on the shoulder like a younger brother. It was simply incredible.
You must know that His Royal Highness King Wei is His Majesty Li Er's favorite prince and the prince most likely to inherit the throne.
Yang Fan, the bastard, is so bold to slap the future emperor like this. Isn't he afraid of death?
Is it possible that Wei King Li Tai and Yang Fan were so close?
But when I saw Li Tai’s shit-eating expression, I thought it looked very different!
Hearing Yang Fan's suggestion, Li Tai felt ashamed and angry, and his face turned red.
It was too much for him, a dignified prince, to be teased by Yang Fan in front of the family and the common people.
Li Tai, who has received strict etiquette training since childhood, cannot accept this kind of hooking up.
What's more, his relationship with Yang Fan has not yet reached this point.
Besides, Li Er sent Li Tai to Jiangnan not to deal with the Jiangnan clan, but to prepare a bank.
Now Yang Fan said these words in person, making Li Tai angry and hateful.
In his opinion, what Yang Fan said was simply to alienate the relationship between the Jiangnan family and him.
You must know that the Jiangnan gentry contributed a lot to the fact that he, Li Tai, had so many supporters in the court.
If these Jiangnan nobles really believed Yang Fan's lies, then Li Tai would have cut off his own arm!
Ignoring Li Tai's expression, Yang Fan climbed onto the horse brought by his own soldiers, pulled the reins of the horse, and shouted loudly: "Everyone is gone. As long as I am here, I will not allow young people to disturb the people."
A peaceful life, this is the governor’s guarantee.”
"If anyone dares to disobey government orders in the future, don't blame me for being unkind! Come on!"
After saying this, Yang Fan clamped his horse's belly and took the lead, leaving Li Tai and other members of the aristocratic family where they were.
Everyone looked at each other.
Yang Fan's emotional intelligence is simply too low, and he actually issued a blatant warning. Do you really think that these Jiangnan nobles are just fools?
Of course, although everyone was dissatisfied, Yang Fan's reputation at this time was unprecedented, and no one dared to be the leader.
Even Wang Yu could only endure a tone of dissatisfaction and watched Yang Fan leave with a gloomy face.
When the people on the dock saw Yang Fan coming on horseback, they consciously stayed away, fearing to block Yang Fan's way.
At this moment, a shout was heard.
"Dog Officer, take your life!"
Everyone present was shocked and looked for fame.
I saw a white figure standing prominently on the hillside.
Because he was covered with a veil, Genzao couldn't see his face. All he could see was that he was wearing a feather-white skirt and was tall.
Soon, the man's feet were light and his clothes were flying, just like an eagle spreading its wings and swooping towards Yang Fan, making people feel as if they were flying on the wind!
Yang Fan reined in his horse and stopped, shouting loudly: "Where are you, rat? Please tell me your name!"
"Hmph, you are about to become the target of my sword, so why do you need to know?"
The visitor didn't stop and flew down in mid-air.
When he was about two meters away from Yang Fan, he flicked his wrist and pulled out a sword from his waist.
He made a sword formula with his left hand and held the sword in his right hand. The tip of the sword moved slightly and came straight towards Yang Fan's neck!
Seeing this, Su Dingfang and others on the dock were shocked and shouted: "Protect the Governor!"
He led his troops and ran towards where Yang Fan was.
Li Tai on the dock was also shocked. How could there be an assassin sniping Yang Fan?
In any case, Yang Fan is the governor of Jiangnan Province.
If Yang Fan was assassinated, his chance to come to Jiangnan for gold plating would be gone.
Besides, if Yang Fan is killed in front of his eyes, Li Tai will not be able to escape the involvement either. The consequences of the emperor's rage are unpredictable!
After all, who made almost all the Jiangnan nobles support him, Li Tai?
Even if it wasn't Li Tai who took action, it must have been sent by these Jiangnan nobles.
Just when Li Tai wanted to call someone to rescue him, he swallowed back the words he was about to blurt out.
Then I thought about it, if Yang Fan was really stabbed to death, wouldn't he be able to lead the post of Grand Governor?
As long as he completes the task of establishing a bank, won't the emperor look at him differently?
Besides, Yang Fan always had an unclear relationship with Prince Li Chengqian, which also made Li Tai very unhappy.
For a moment, Li Tai's mind was spinning, and he didn't know whether he should expect Yang Fan to be stabbed to death or to be okay...
Li Tai was conflicted in his heart, but the assassin was already in the air, his feather-white dress billowing, and he rushed towards Yang Fan with an extremely graceful posture, and the sharp sword tip was directly at Yang Fan's throat.
Yang Fan was not afraid at all. With a clang, he immediately drew his sword across the sword. With a loud shout, he swung the sword from bottom to top in an attempt to swing the sword away.
Yang Fan was very confident about his sword.
Although this assassin is very powerful and powerful, he looks like a girl at first glance, so he must not be known for his strength.
Unexpectedly, when the swords collided, the opponent's sword did not change direction.
I saw the opponent's wrist flick slightly, holding a sword flower, but the knife in Yang Fan's hand bounced away, and the opponent's sword stabbed straight in the face.
Although he was protected by a golden bell, as the tip of the sword approached, the hair on Yang Fan's body stood up, as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake.
This is the first time Yang Fan has felt this way since he learned martial arts.
Without caring about anything else, Yang Fan hurriedly rolled off his horse and fell firmly to the ground with a "bang", narrowly dodging the sword.
But the horse under Yang Fan was not so lucky.
Although the assassin's sword was just a slight stroke, the war horse was broken into two pieces.
Seeing this, Yang Fan's soul came out.
Your sister, this simply overturned his understanding.
If that sword stabbed me just now, even a golden bell, an iron shirt, and an iron shirt would not be able to withstand it!
