Chapter 279 The end!
The full moon hangs high in the sky, and the bright moonlight shines on the earth, casting a mysterious veil over the entire Xiangyang city.
It should have been a quiet and peaceful night, but because of what happened during the day, Grandpa Liu and a group of family heads gathered together again.
At this moment they were not as relaxed as they were last night, and everyone's face was filled with anxiety.
"Master Liu, our plan has not succeeded. Those rioters are completely useless. Although there are many of them, they were scared away by Kuai Yue's few words. I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve our goal relying on these people."
"Yes, we must think of a countermeasure, how to make this matter bigger."
"I think we should consider Kuai Yue's three-day appointment. What exactly is he going to do? Will he be able to trace it back to us?"
"Yes, Mr. Liu, what should we do?"
Old Master Liu's eyes flashed with a fierce look: "The people we sent out are all deadly warriors. Even if they are caught, they will take poison and die. Without real evidence, how could Kuai Yue and Cai Mao attack us?"
"So don't be afraid of them coming to your door, but think about how to make the matter bigger."
"At present, it is probably of little use to focus on the people. We can only change direction."
"direction?"
"What do you mean?"
Old Master Liu lowered his voice and said, "It's very simple. Just scare Ye Feng."
"Send an assassin to kill him."
"this........."
All the family heads took a deep breath and subconsciously wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads: "Master Liu, this is too crazy."
"Ye Feng has already touched the Heavenly General. Who can threaten his life?"
"I'm afraid that as many people as we send out will die, and if this matter is exposed, we will be in real trouble."
"No one would allow this to happen."
"The risk is too great, and there is not much benefit. It is not acceptable."
Mr. Liu shook his head and smiled: "You are wrong."
"This assassination attempt will not succeed. We just want to scare Ye Feng and make him realize that the situation in Jingxiang is out of control. Only in this way can the voices of the people be heard and we will have a chance to survive."
"Beyond that, there's nothing we can do."
The other family heads looked at each other, their eyes full of fear. Old Master Liu snorted coldly: "Everyone, we don't have any way out now. Unless we sell out 90% of our family's wealth, Ye Feng will not let us go."
"so"
Before he could finish his words, he heard a sound of ridicule from outside.
Then there was applause from outside.
"Your plan is a good one, but you underestimate us."
"Do you really think this little trick can fool us?"
"Mr. Liu, I've told you long ago that your time has long passed. It's impossible for the Liu family to regain its former prosperity. If you insist on making plans that are not in your best interest, you will only end up destroying the family completely in the end."
The familiar sarcastic voice made all the family heads in the hall turn extremely pale.
"Creak."
The door of the hall slowly opened, and Cai Mao led a group of soldiers to surround the entire hall.
Although Mr. Liu was also shocked to the extreme, he had to remain calm at this time, otherwise there would be no way to survive.
"Degui, I lost this time. We are willing to give you 50% of our family's wealth, and the rest will be handed over to the governor's mansion."
"As long as you don't tell us and we don't tell us, who would know our respective backgrounds?"
The other family heads also echoed: "Yes, we are willing to hand over our wealth. Please, Patriarch Cai, please give us some leniency for our previous friendship."
"After all, we haven't taken any actual action yet." Cai Mao laughed: "Everyone, you don't really think I'm a three-year-old child, do you?"
"Can a few words clear this up?"
"Based on our previous friendship, I should only kill those of you who are stirring up trouble. Your family members may forgive you, but you should not have tried to assassinate the Lord."
"Although your assassination will not have any effect, if it makes the Lord uncomfortable, how can we escape responsibility?"
Old Master Liu said stubbornly, "Cai Mao, what have we done wrong? We didn't do anything. Do you have any evidence to prove that we wanted to assassinate Duke Zhenbei?"
"I think you are deliberately framing me for your own selfish interests. Even if you succeed tonight, can you stop the world from talking about it?"
"When Duke Zhenbei returns, what will you tell him?"
"I don't believe you dare."
Cai Mao laughed and shook his head: "I didn't expect that you still think I don't dare to do anything."
"Do you really think you could hide last night's meeting from us?"
"To tell you the truth, I know everything you discussed."
"If you didn't want an excuse, you should have died last night."
"what?"
"you."
Before Mr. Liu finished speaking, Cai Mao shouted coldly: "Do it!!"
The soldiers on the side drew their bows and arrows and shot directly into the hall.
"whoosh whoosh"
The sound of arrows piercing the sky was heard. How could these family heads who had lived a life of luxury in the past be able to withstand the arrows?
"Ahhhhh!!"
Screams were heard, and the family heads in front were shot by arrows and fell in a pool of blood.
Witnessing so many lives dying before his eyes, Old Man Liu's face turned extremely pale.
After a round of arrow rain, he was lucky enough to survive in the corner. He didn't care about his face and knelt down in front of Cai Mao: "Degui, considering the good relationship between our two families, please spare my Liu family this time."
"This time it's my Liu family that's blind. Just make any demands you want. I won't bargain at all."
Cai Mao sighed: "You still don't understand now, this time it's not us who want to take action against you, but you are blocking the lord's policy."
"Let alone you people, even if our Cai family stood in front of the policy, we would still be unable to escape the disaster."
"It's a pity that you still don't understand now."
"Do it!!"
"Whoosh!!"
Arrows flew out, and Old Man Liu, who was kneeling on the ground, only felt a flash of silver light before his eyes, and more than ten arrows pierced his body.
"what!!"
Screams rang out again, and the brutal fight began again.
Such a scene happened in every corner of Xiangyang City. Almost all the noble families who were secretly doing evil were purged without exception. However, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue finally showed a trace of mercy and did not kill them all.
The next day, when the sky was turning pale, Ye Feng in Jiangling City got the news. Looking at what Kuai Yue and Cai Mao had done, a smile appeared on his face: "Very good."
"These two people really understand what I mean."
"Send a message to the seven counties of Jingxiang to divide the land equally from tomorrow. All people will be divided according to the number of people. The policy will begin to be implemented."
"Here!!"
As the order was issued, the entire Jingxiang region welcomed a new tomorrow.
