The night shrouded the sky, like a devouring black hole.
Not long after Duan Zhixuan went out, it started to rain heavily.
After arriving at the Governor's Mansion, Duan Zhixuan did not stay long before leaving.
However, it can be seen from the relieved expression on his face when he left that he was very happy with his decision.
Of course, Duan Zhixuan's arrival did not affect Yang Fan's celebration.
The grand celebration banquet lasted for seven days.
Just when all the officials in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion were immersed in Yang Fan's joy of giving birth to Lin's son.
Chu Lai was not idle during this period.
Not only did he contact many Jiangnan nobles, but he also hooked up with the Dou family.
Dou Fengjie is a character who is determined to retaliate against others.
Ever since Yang Fan expelled him from the bidding meeting in front of so many nobles and merchants, he regarded it as a great shame and humiliation.
It would have been enough to just drive him out, but also put him in jail for several days.
If his family hadn't redeemed him, Dou Fengjie might still be in prison.
They were both consorts, but Yang Fan dared to treat him like this. Dou Fengjie lost all face and became the laughing stock of the entire Jiangnan.
This kind of hatred is simply outrageous!
Although his family asked him to tolerate it for the time being, with Dou Fengjie's violent temper, he felt that he couldn't bear it!
Why?
Yang Fan is the consort, and he is also the consort.
In terms of seniority, he is still Yang Fan’s elder!
Of course Dou Fengjie couldn't bear the tone of Yang Fan's refusal to give him face.
Of course, he also knew that Yang Fan was very capable.
Not only did he destroy Tubo, he also defeated the Jiangnan gentry coalition at Yuntai Mountain with a few hundred men, which is a great reputation.
But Dou Fengjie was not convinced.
In his opinion, if Lei Kunming hadn't led his tribe to rebel, Yang Fan would have been dead.
Who is this guy who controls Jiangnan by luck?
In this way, when Zhu Lai came to Dou Fengjie.
Coupled with the persuasion of eldest grandson Anye, the two of them hit it off.
Of course, Dou Fengjie was also very cautious.
With his many years of military connections and family background, he even contacted some government soldiers with the intention of jointly dealing with Yang Fan.
As for whether mobilizing government troops privately would be punished by the court, Dou Fengjie was not worried at all.
As long as Yang Fan can be killed, there are plenty of reasons to slap that guy on the head.
Besides, there are so many people who want Yang Fan dead now.
As long as he does it cleanly and leaves no flaws, no one will dare to say that he did it?
However, as Yang Fan is the governor of Jiangnan Province and has a navy, his military strength cannot be underestimated.
Dou Fengjie was arrogant, but he was not stupid either. He knew that it was impossible for the soldiers he had contacted to deal with Yang Fan alone.
However, fortunately, Zhu Lai also had many dead soldiers, plus some financial support from other Jiangnan noble families.
In Dou Fengjie's opinion, the chance of winning is at least 80%.
Especially after knowing that Duan Zhixuan also joined, Dou Fengjie became even more certain that Yang Fan would not escape this time.
Ever since, an undercurrent gradually brewed in the festive atmosphere of the Governor's Mansion.
Of course, there is a reason why everyone trusts Duan Zhixuan so much?
If we talk about hatred, Dou Fengjie’s incident is nothing!
Duan Zhixuan and Yang Fan have a bloody feud!
Both sons were abandoned by Yang Fan, leaving the Duan family with no heirs. How much hatred is this?
Not to mention that after Duan Zhixuan arrived in Jiangnan, he was completely ignored by Yang Fan. It was simply a stalemate!
Therefore, Duan Zhixuan's presence is indispensable in every plan of Zhu Lai and others.
After several days of plotting, everyone unanimously decided to take action against Yang Fan as soon as possible while the navy was escorting the caravan to sea.
Once the navy comes back, killing Yang Fan will be even harder than climbing to the sky.
In addition, after receiving various inside information from Duan Zhixuan.
Everyone decided to make a surprise attack.
As long as Yang Fan, the culprit, is killed, others will have nothing to fear.
As a result, an assassination plan was born.
The Metropolitan Governor is located in Huating County, which is now in a period of great development.
Laborers can be seen everywhere, and people come and go intensively.
All the personnel were easily mixed up and hid in Huating County.
Zhu Lai, Dou Fengjie and others were secretly directing the attack, hoping to wait until dark to sneak into the Governor's Mansion and kill him, making him unable to defend himself.
It’s a dark and windy murderous night!
Under the cover of Duan Zhixuan, Zhu Lai and Dou Fengjie each led hundreds of people to lurk near the Governor's Mansion.
Seeing the intensive coming and going of people from the Grand Governor, I still felt the joy of celebrating.
Zhu Lai and others were very excited.
The more people there are, the harder it is for someone to spot them.
Zhu Lai and Dou Fengjie looked at each other, and each led hundreds of men to quietly block all roads leading to the Grand Governor.
The night is getting deeper and the sky is getting darker!
The number of people traveling to and from the Metropolitan Government House also gradually decreased.
Hiding in a hidden alley with the cold wind blowing, the pampered Zhu Lai was really not used to it.
But when he thought that Yang Fan was about to be killed, the Zhu family would also become the leaders of Jiangnan.
Zhu Lai felt that everything was worth it.
Duan Zhixuan, who was watching all this in the distance, couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
These idiots didn't even know they had fallen into Yang Fan's trap.
It's really pitiful, sad, and even more deplorable!
At this time, he was even a little glad for his decision.
If he hadn't taken the initiative to surrender, he might still feel like they had the wisdom in their hands, right?
Thinking of Yang Fan's plan, Duan Zhixuan couldn't help but flash a wry smile in his eyes.
He knows very well that even if he is hostile to Yang Fan, his chance of revenge in this life is very small!
What's more, after tonight, there will no longer be any objections from Jiangnan.
From now on, who can threaten Yang Fan!
Even if he is an emperor, he must consider the consequences if he wants to touch Yang Fan.
Duan Zhixuan breathed a sigh of relief when he thought that he would never have a chance to repay his hatred.
If you can't get revenge, why isn't your Duan family lucky?
Thinking of this, Duan Zhixuan suddenly became enlightened.
All desire for power disappeared at this moment.
After taking a deep look at the direction where Zhu Lai and others were ambushing, Duan Zhixuan sighed slightly and walked towards his residence.
He no longer wants to get involved in these struggles!
Who lives and who dies depends on God’s will!
Time passed little by little, and Zhu Lai, who was hiding in the corner, was a little impatient.
Didn’t Yang Fan send guests out every day?
Why didn't anyone show up today?
Dou Fengjie on the other side also frowned.
This street is really too quiet.
It stands to reason that many people come to congratulate me every day, and there should be quite a few drunkards.
Why do you feel like these people coming and going to the Metropolitan Governor seem to be deliberately arranged?
He was about to go to Zhu Lai to ask about the situation, when he glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a place flickering with light.
As a general who has experienced battlefields, Dou Fengjie knew that it was the light reflected from the blade.
Is there anyone hiding there?
But didn’t they bring all their people with them?
Why would anyone stay behind?
Could it be that Duan Zhixuan arranged this person?
That’s not right!
Why didn't that old boy Duan Zhixuan show up tonight?
Dou Fengjie's heart skipped a beat and he cursed: "Damn it, Duan Zhixuan snitched!"
How did he know that even if Duan Zhixuan did not cooperate, they would not be able to escape Yang Fan's eyes.
Not to mention the high vigilance of the guards who were like special forces, their actions could not escape the detection of Wu Meiniang's Plum Blossom Guards.
These people arranged for people to enter Huating County with great fanfare, and they were like a bright light.
The reason why these people were not arrested was that Yang Fan just wanted to catch them all.
Dou Fengjie couldn't care less about the issue of exposure or not.
All he knew was that if he couldn't evacuate quickly and was caught, he would be doomed.
Although he may not be executed, he will definitely become a joke to the entire Guanzhong.
The majestic prince-in-law goes to assassinate another prince-in-law. He cannot afford to lose face!
Not to mention him, even the entire Dou family cannot bear such a responsibility.
At this moment, the only thing I can do is find a way to escape.
Obviously the road is blocked now, what should we do?
Dou Fengjie's brain was spinning rapidly.
Soon, Dou Fengjie's eyes lit up.
A poor Taoist is worse than a dead Taoist friend!
Dou Fengjie stood up and shouted: "There is an assassin!"
After shouting, Sayazi ran towards the door of the Grand Governor.
Zhu Lai and other aristocratic families were stunned for a moment and then quickly reacted.
Their plan exposed!
If they are surrounded by Yang Fan's soldiers, they have no confidence that they can escape!
But now, I can only give it a try.
If you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent person.
Thinking of this, Zhu Lai took the lead and raised his arms and shouted: "Young men, come to me. If you kill Yang Fan, you will be rewarded with a lot of money!"
"Come on!"
There must be a brave man under the heavy reward. The group of dead soldiers shouted and ran towards Dou Fengjie, waving their swords.
Dou Fengjie, who had just arrived at the gate of the Grand Governor, was dumbfounded.
How is this going?
After being discovered, shouldn't Zhu Lai and the others be handsome enough to break through?
Soon, he figured out Zhu Lai's intention.
This old guy is obviously trying his best!
Dou Fengjie didn't want to die here.
Just as he was about to run towards the Governor's house, he was stopped by two guards.
This guy just went inside. Did he really think it was a public toilet?
The two guards quickly stopped Dou Fengjie and sounded the warning.
Seeing the group of assassins getting closer and closer, Dou Fengjie shouted in panic: "These are assassins, stop them quickly!"
Of course the guards also saw this group.
However, they were not panicked.
Because the warning has been issued, someone will come to support soon.
However, when they stared at the stranger in front of them, they did not know where Dou Fengjie was coming from.
Seeing these assassins brandishing knives and crows running toward him, Dou Fengjie was frightened and struggled desperately to escape from the guards.
However, these guards were all very strong, and even though Dou Fengjie's martial arts was good, he could not bypass their defense.
Seeing more and more assassins, Dou Fengjie also became fierce. He suddenly took out the dagger hidden in his arms and stabbed them randomly.
A guard was caught off guard and stabbed in the lower abdomen with a knife. He collapsed to the ground with a "ouch" sound.
The other guard reacted very quickly and thrust the dagger in Dou Fengjie's hand into Dou Fengjie's chest with just one move.
Dou Fengjie felt a pain in his chest, and blood suddenly came out.
He suddenly panicked.
I really didn’t expect that I would die like this!
His heart was stabbed, and even if the Great Luo Immortal came over, he could not save him.
Indeed, these guards are trained according to the special forces, and the emphasis is on killing with one hit.
If Dou Fengjie hadn't taken the initiative to run out and keep the two guards off guard, he wouldn't have been able to hurt the guards in a short time.
When a group of Jiangnan aristocratic families saw Dou Fengjie being killed, the whole scene was in chaos.
These people couldn't care less about the assassination plan and shouted: "There is an ambush, run away!"
Suddenly, the whole scene turned into a mess again.
These assassins who came to kill Yang Fan were neither forward nor backward.
Because everyone simply doesn’t know what orders to follow.
Looking at the messy scene, Zhu Lai's face turned pale.
These people are simply pigs!
I rushed out, but suddenly stopped. Is this looking for death?
I saw countless soldiers appear instantly from both sides of the Governor's Mansion, all with muskets in their hands.
Zhu Lai knew that everything was over!
If someone with a knife fights someone with a gun, isn't that going to end in death?
The assassination plan was originally to get rid of Yang Fan without anyone noticing.
Now that the opponent is on guard, why should he assassinate this guy?
Zhu Na's only thought was to escape!
As for the people he brought, he ignored them!
With a few confidants around him, he rolled and crawled back towards the way he came.
But before he could take a few steps, the person who had just escaped was stopped.
It turned out that all the way out had been blocked by countless armored soldiers. Under the light of the fire, a terrifying aura made everyone retreat.
Zhu Lai was dumbfounded?
How is this going?
"Master Zhu, what should we do now?"
A member of the Jiangnan family asked anxiously.
"How about we surrender?"
"Yes, as long as we show mercy, the Governor won't kill us."
"My family is rich, I can pay for my life."
The descendants of the Jiangnan aristocratic family who came were completely panicked, and they all wanted to surrender to save their lives.
After hearing these words, Zhu Lai calmed down completely.
If these people surrendered and still had a chance to survive, then he, the mastermind, had no choice but to die.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The Zhu family will also become history.
Zhu Lai shouted with red eyes: "You are simply cowards. There are so many of us, what are you afraid of?"
"Almost all Yang Fan's navy has gone to sea. Our number is two or three times theirs. We still have a chance."
"In the worst case, I'll be buried here today. Kill one and you'll be enough. Kill two and you'll gain."
"Brothers, follow me!"
Although Zhu Lai's words are very inflammatory, there are only a few who are not afraid of death.
Most of the children of aristocratic families present are pampered and privileged people, and they haven’t lived enough yet!
Who wants to die?
Just profit!
At most, your family can just give in to Yang Fan.
As a result, the people present were immediately divided into two groups.
Some people squatted aside with their heads in hand and surrendered.
Others prepared to break out with Chu Lai.
It's a pity that Chu Lai's wishes are good.
Although there were not many people who blocked their retreat, only a few dozen people.
But why are the weapons in other people's hands so advanced?
An indiscriminate shot, one round later.
In an instant, more than 100 of the hundreds of people led by Chu Lai were shot into a hornet's nest.
This is the power of thermal weapons.
Even the dead warriors who were not afraid of death were suffocated by this murderous weapon.
For a time, I no longer dared to break through.
Soon, another group of soldiers arrived from Dadu Prefecture.
Seeing that he was about to be surrounded, Zhu Lai's eyes turned red and he took out a sharp short blade from his waist.
He was ready to fight to the death.
More and more soldiers died around him, gradually becoming a siege.
Zhu Lai knew very well that people like them had trouble flying.
He didn't expect that the assassination that had been planned for so long had failed without even seeing Yang Fan's face.
In the current situation, the chance of escaping is almost zero...
Zhu Lai smiled miserably. He didn't expect that he would be so successful all his life, but he would fall for a young boy like Yang Fan.
Zhu Lai looked back at the group of children from aristocratic families who had surrendered, spat disdainfully, and said bitterly: "You cowards, if I had known better, I wouldn't have worked with you."
"I just didn't expect that the head of my family would be buried here. It's really unfair!"
"Young men, don't be afraid of death and rush to me. If you rush out, we can share the wealth. If you don't rush out, your blood will be spilled today?"
Zhu Lai was desperate at this moment and actually showed a fierce side.
