Under the night sky.
Lan Shenxing and the Brocade Guard were squatting in the courtyard and eating.
Although there were many chickens and ducks in the residence, they could not withstand the large number of people.
Therefore, there was not much meat in everyone's mouth. Most of them still ate rice and vegetables to satisfy their hunger.
"Milord, how should we deal with the remaining people?”
The Embroidered Uniform Guards went forward to ask.
Lan Shenxing glanced at the crowd that was tied up and said softly,""Leave five people to guard this place. After this matter is over, they will be escorted to this prison and await Your Majesty's decision.”
This was Jiangnan.
And in Jiangnan, the Shen family was a prominent family.
The dead official was the highest ranking official in the area within a radius of several hundred miles.
As the saying went, a strong dragon could not suppress a local snake.
In ancient times, it was very troublesome to deal with a distinguished family.
No, let alone ancient times.
Even in modern times, if you wanted to attack a big family, you had to do it secretly.
If he did it openly, not only would he be covered in blood, but he might even be killed.
It was no exaggeration to say that.
If the Shen family knew about this, they would transfer their assets and use their influence in Jiangnan to make use of the people to cause trouble for Lan Shenxing and the others.
Some of the officials in Jiangnan would even help the Shen family in secret!
Although merchants did not have much status in the early Ming Dynasty, the saying that money could make the devil turn the millstone was not just a rumor.
In other words.
If Lan Shenxing took this group of people to prison…
It was the same as telling the Shen family that they were here to attack the Shen family.
At that time, things would be troublesome.
Therefore…
Lan Shenxing could only control this group of people here first.
Then with a speed that was as fast as lightning, before the Shen family and the officials who were in cahoots with the Shen family could react, he would seize their life!
"Hurry up and eat. After eating, follow me to the Shen family! Tonight, he had to take them all down!”
If the dead officials did not appear in the government office after daybreak, then the matter would be easily exposed.
There was less than four hours left for Lan Shenxing and the others to take action.
After everyone finished eating and replenished their strength, they began to prepare.
Lan Shenxing walked up to the five Jinyiwei guards and instructed,"If you encounter an uncontrollable situation, even if you kill everyone here, you can't let anyone leave this place! At the same time, no one could enter this place!”
"Yes."
The five Embroidered Uniform Guards replied loudly.
"Let's go!"
Lan Shenxing left with the remaining 95 Embroidered Uniform Guards.
Taking advantage of the cover of the night, they arrived at the Shen residence after an hour.
When they saw the Shen family mansion, many Embroidered Uniform Guards were shocked.
Because this mansion was simply too big.
"Enter."
Lan Shenxing ordered.
As long as he controlled the Shen family, he would then use the imperial edict on him to inform the local government to send troops.
Then…
These officials who were originally in cahoots with the Shen family could only cooperate.
After all, the Shen family was already under their control. It was useless for them to report it.
They only had two choices:
First, rebel against the imperial edict.
Second, cooperate with the decree and cut off all contact with the Shen family.
The first option was death.
Moreover, even if these officials really had the guts to rebel, the soldiers under them were not stupid.
Therefore, there was only the second option left for them.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards were the best of the best in the army and after entering the Shen family mansion, they started to move.
First of all.
They were the servants of the Shen family.
The servants and able-bodied men who were sleeping were awakened.
Lan Shenxing pulled out his Embroidered Spring Saber and slashed down.
Blood splattered and the head fell to the ground.
"The Embroidered Uniform Guards are handling this case. Those who resist will be killed without mercy!”
These servants and able-bodied men were the hardest to deal with because, in another sense, they were the Shen family's soldiers.
In order to prevent the situation from getting out of control, Lan Shenxing could only take the unconventional path.
He killed one person first to intimidate them.
Reality proved that this method was indeed very useful. The servants and able-bodied men cooperated very well. The Brocade Guards did not spend much effort to tie them up.
The rest.
They were the direct descendants and collateral relatives of the Shen family.
If they were cooperating, the Embroidered Uniform Guards would tie them up.
If they did not resist fiercely, the Embroidered Uniform Guards would beat them up and tie them up.
Encountering someone who resisted fiercely…
Sorry, the Embroidered Uniform Guards did not have time to waste on this kind of person. They immediately drew their sabers and slashed, killing him in one slash.
In just an hour.
The entire Shen family mansion, including the servants and able-bodied men, were all controlled.
"Hehe…"
The sky was still dark, but the crowing of the rooster could already be heard.
Lan Shenxing asked the Jinyiwei to inform the government with the imperial edict.
After daybreak, the local officials arrived with their respective soldiers.
Their eyes were filled with panic and shock.
They knew that Hu Weiyong was not the only one in the Shen family. There were also many officials from Huaixi and Zhedong Group.
These people were all high officials in the Ying Tian Prefecture.
However…
At this moment, the Shen family was still destroyed.
Even before they were executed, they did not receive any news.
What did this mean?
This meant…
This matter was personally done by His Majesty!
If they were to investigate, everyone here would be finished!
At this moment.
Lan Shenxing strode out.
Seeing this, the officials crowded around Lan Shenxing.
When they walked to Lan Shenxing's side, they all secretly stuffed things into his hands.
They were stuffed with silver notes.
Moreover, this was only on the surface.
Many people said softly after giving out the banknotes,"Milord, these silver notes are for our brothers to drink tea. Shall we go somewhere else to drink tea?”
Giving gifts was a skill.
For example, if you wanted to give a gift to your leader, but there was a chauffeur beside you.
In that case, you must prepare two gifts.
Because only then would the driver and the leader dare to accept it.
If you only give one, neither of them will dare to take it!
Lan Shenxing was dragged to drink tea.
And the gifts from drinking tea were the biggest part.
Lan Shenxing did not reject these silver notes and accepted them all.
Because he knew that at this moment…he had to stabilize these guys first.
And what was the best way to stabilize them?
Naturally, he would accept their gifts!
Only in this way could they feel at ease.
Only when they were at ease could Lan Shenxing leave Jiangnan safely.
Of course.
This group of people definitely did not have the guts to lay their hands on Lan Shenxing.
However, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.
Lan Shenxing had developed a habit since he was young…Even if there was only one in ten thousand danger, he would not take the risk.
