"Why didn't his father come to arrest him personally, and you come to arrest him?"
“It doesn’t matter who it is, just tell me the price you want!”
Zhou Xi looked at Song Xiance in front of him with a cold look in his eyes.
"I don't want much, just one million taels! For one million taels, I'll let him go and pretend this never happened!"
Song Xiance showed a smile on his face, looked at Zhou Xi in front of him and said.
"Song Xiance, don't go too far!"
Hearing Song Xiance's words, Zhou Xi's eyes flashed coldly.
"Excessive? Not too much at all!"
Song Xiance showed a smile on his face, looked at Zhou Xi in front of him and said.
"Li Yi is the legitimate son of the Li family. Moreover, in my position as prefect, I have provided so much cover for you. Isn't it worth a million taels of silver??"
"snort!"
Zhou Xi snorted coldly and looked at Song Xiance in front of him coldly.
At this time, he completely believed what Zhao Chen said before. Sure enough, Song Xiance in front of him was using this matter to blackmail him!
This man has only been in Yanzhou Prefecture as the magistrate for three or four months, although he has maintained a tacit understanding with the four major families during these three or four months.
But this person was still so greedy, which made Zhou Xi extremely disgusted.
One million taels of silver is really greedy!
"That means there's nothing to talk about?"
Zhou Xi asked Song Xiance in front of him with a cold expression.
"What? There's no need to talk, what else do you want to do?"
Song Xiance smiled slightly and looked at Zhou Xi in front of him.
"snort!"
Zhou Xi didn't say anything more to Song Xiance. One million taels of silver was obviously hard for the four major families to accept.
Looking at Zhou Xi's back, Song Xiance's lips curled up slightly.
The plan is mostly completed!
Zhou Xi left the prefect's mansion.
"How about it??"
“How was the discussion??”
The patriarchs of several major families around asked curiously towards Zhou Xi in front of them.
"Master Zhao is right, this person is really after money! But his appetite is too big!"
Zhou Xi looked at the patriarchs of several major families around him and said with a not-so-good look on his face.
"How many?"
Zhao Chen asked from the side.
"One million taels of silver!"
Hearing Zhou Xi's words, the heads of the three major families in front of them all took a breath. It's not that they can't come up with this money, but it is indeed a huge amount of money!
Even if the four major families tried their best to raise money, they could barely collect the money.
But who is willing to pay?
"Forget it! Kill this prefect!"
Zhao Chen on the side showed a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"Kill the prefect, and then we will make Song Xiance's crimes public and make it look like the government is forcing the people to rebel. At that time, even His Highness the Crown Prince wants to liquidate us.
At least let’s see how the public responds!”
"good!"
The head of the Wang family on the side nodded.
"Okay! Let's all make arrangements then! After all, everyone in the city is ours! Although Song Xiance has some people under his command, they can never stop us!"
As he said that, he took advantage of the night.
Soon the soldiers of the four major families quickly began to dispatch.
"kill!!!!"
These clan soldiers attacked the four city gates of Yanzhou Prefecture respectively.
The elite forces rushed directly to Song Xiance's residence.
Mutiny!!
The shouts of killing filled the city, causing all the people to huddle in their homes, trembling, and all the people had a look of fear in their eyes.
Of course, Song Xiance also heard the shouts of killing outside his residence.
He took a sip of the tea in front of him and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"These people are indeed rebels! They are born rebels! I just took advantage of this opportunity to kill them all! Kill the nine tribes directly! I can live up to His Highness the Crown Prince's expectations of me!"
Just when the soldiers from the four major families were about to arrive at the Fubing station.
The soldiers who should have been asleep suddenly all fired their muskets!
"Bang bang bang!"
The faces of the soldiers from the four major families who were charging suddenly changed.
"Fell into a trap!!!"
Someone roared.
But now, it is obvious that there is no escape!
All the clan soldiers had panic expressions on their faces, and countless soldiers with ghostly faces rushed out from around them, all of them holding knives in their hands.
He slashed at the clan soldiers around him.
The clan soldiers around them all had panicked looks on their faces, but the people around them had no ability to resist at all, looking at these soldiers with ghostly faces who suddenly appeared.
The soldiers of the four major families were so frightened that their legs weakened, and some of them could not even hold their swords.
"Don't be afraid! They are all human beings! They can be killed!"
The backbone of the four major families looked at the scene in front of them and quickly shouted to the clan soldiers around them.
But no matter how loud they shouted, it was of no use in the current environment. Those soldiers with ghost faces on their heads.
As if entering an uninhabited land, he rushed directly into the soldiers of the four major families and quickly began to kill the soldiers in front of him like a hungry tiger pouncing on food.
The few soldiers who reacted reluctantly put up some resistance, but in the current situation, this resistance seemed somewhat weak.
The ghost-faced army quickly killed the clan soldiers of the four major families one by one, and it seemed that something was not good.
The direct descendants of the four major families who commanded the clan soldiers could no longer control their own clan soldiers, and quickly fled with a few of their elite cronies.
Kill!
The blood flowed into a stream.
But it was obvious that the Ghost Faced Army would not let these escapees go, and quickly pursued them.
There was killing everywhere in the entire city!
At this time, Song Mansion.
Zhao Chen led hundreds of clan soldiers and slowly approached the magistrate's mansion.
These are the elites he brought. There is no other way. I heard before that there are masters in the magistrate's mansion, so these clan soldiers all have firearms bought at a large price from the West.
At this time, we must let that Song Xiance die!
Thinking of this, the surrounding clan soldiers slowly surrounded the prefect's mansion.
Just when Zhao Chen was about to give the order to attack.
"Bang bang!"
Suddenly, gunfire rang out nearby. In an instant, dozens of Zhao family soldiers died, and Zhao Chen's eyes suddenly burst into tears.
But before he could say anything.
At this moment, a group of soldiers wearing ghost masks roared and rushed towards the Zhao family soldiers.
"Ghost!"
The surrounding Zhao family soldiers suddenly showed panic expressions on their faces.
"Don't panic! Concentrate your formation! Concentrate your formation!!!"
Of course, Zhao Chen didn't believe in any ghosts and gods. At this time, he only had one thought in his mind. These ghost-faced soldiers were definitely Song Xiance's back-up move!
