Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Chapter 159 I am right here. I heard you have something to say?
Watching the black crowd pouring into the Lan Mansion, the guards held bright weapons in their hands.

The Dingyuan County gentry present were really panicked. They had never seen such a battle before, and none of them even dared to breathe.

As for the children of the Lan family, I don't know whether they have perfectly inherited Lan Yu's genes, or they are really used to being domineering, or they simply have no brains. At this time, some of them dared to provoke these guards.

Since these two officials are fake, then aren't these guards fake? !
It's possible that some fools might think so.

The guards called in by Mao Xiang looked at the Lan family disciples with cold eyes.

To them, this group of people is a rabble.

Although the opponent also holds a weapon in his hand, in some people's hands the weapon is a murderous weapon, in some people's hands it can only be called a dangerous toy.

"Who gave you the right to break into people's houses? Even soldiers can't do this. This is banditry." A descendant of the Lan family shouted loudly.

If someone wants to die, let him die.

Mao Xiang smiled when he looked at the Lan family disciples who were still cursing and shouting with swords, guns and sticks in their hands.

He directly drew the saber from his body.

next moment.

The knife stabbed straight into the heart of a Lan family disciple in front of him, giving him a chill.

Then he smiled ferociously, stirred it with his hand, and then pulled it out.

Mao Xiang dodged and stretched out a finger to lightly tap the other person's forehead.

With a "pop" sound, blood spurted out from the Lan family's heart and directly splashed onto the dishes at the birthday banquet at the back, causing the guests at that table to scream in surprise.

But this Lan family kid threw himself on the ground, twitching all over his body. When he was about to die, his eyes widened with disbelief on his face.

After seeing the blood, everyone present was stunned and froze in place like puppets.

Lan Shou's face was pale, but he was still making his final resistance.

I saw him shouting loudly: "Indiscriminate killing of civilians, so what if you are an official of the Ministry of Punishment. My cousin is Yongchang Hou Lanyu, and Yongchang Hou is the uncle of the crown prince. I will definitely let Yongchang Hou report this to the prince. Punish you for your sins.”

There wasn't a drop of blood on Mao Xiang's body. He just looked at Lan Shou, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a mocking smile.

Looking at Mao Xiang's weird smile, Lan Shou felt uncomfortable all over. He could only curse in his heart, wait until I report this matter to Marquis Yongchang, and then we'll see if you can still laugh.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind Lan Shou.

"Ding, Lu Tao, the magistrate of Dingyuan County, pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince."

Prince? !
Hearing the familiar voice, Lan Shou turned his head and saw Lu Tao, the magistrate of Dingyuan County, kneeling on the ground without knowing it, his whole body trembling.

"Lu Tao, you are crazy! Prince, where is the prince?!"

Lan Shou opened his eyes wide, walked to Lu Tao, and asked loudly.

Lu Tao ignored Lan Shou at all and just kept fighting for the ground.

"Using weapons rashly against His Highness the Crown Prince is regarded as treason!"

Mao Xiang's cold voice also sounded at this time, and he waved his right hand forward.

"Take it all!"

How could these Lan family disciples be the opponents of this group of well-trained elite guards? They were all captured without almost any resistance.

The squires from Dingyuan County who came to attend the birthday banquet suddenly woke up. They immediately followed Lu Tao's example, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, their faces full of fear.

"Your Highness, you are shocked. All the prisoners have been captured." Mao Xiang walked up to Zhu Biao and saluted.

Zhu Biao nodded. He was not the kind of prince who lived in peace and prosperity. He had already been well-dressed and well-fed since he was born.Zhu Biao followed Emperor Hongwu, went to the battlefield, and also defended the city.

He had seen scenes that were a thousand times crueler than what he saw before him. Zhu Biao was not just "benevolent".

Therefore, he didn't even blink at the small scene in front of him.

Zhu Biao walked up to Lan Shou and said calmly: "Don't bother Marquis Yongchang. I'm here. You just said you wanted to complain to me, so let's talk about it."

Lan Shou's hands were tied. He raised his head and looked at the man in front of him. In addition to disbelief, he also felt deep fear.

He never thought that he would alert the prince just by beating up a seventh-grade official.

If he had known this, how could Lan Shou dare to provoke Li Jin.

He could only imitate Lu Tao, kowtow and say at the same time: "I am guilty. I didn't know that His Royal Highness is currently in the situation. I offended His Highness. I am guilty. I am guilty!"

The bluestones on the ground were bruised and bleeding.

Zhu Biao looked at Lan Shou coldly and said, "Of course you are guilty, but it was not because you offended me. Think about it again."

You must know that using a knife on the prince is a serious crime of treason and killing the clan.

Zhu Biao did not want to use this crime to punish Lan Shou.

Because he came to Dingyuan not to show off the personal prestige of his prince, but to maintain the majesty of the imperial court!
In order for tax reform to continue to be implemented!

For Lan Shou, Zhu Biao's move was equivalent to saving the lives of his entire Lan family.

Therefore, even after admitting to beating the imperial official, Lan Shou himself could not escape the death penalty, but for the sake of his tribe, he still chose to plead guilty without hesitation.

Lan Shou kowtowed three times and said sadly: "The villain ordered his subordinates to beat the imperial official Li Jin and Mr. Li. It is a capital crime! A capital crime! A capital crime!"

The word "death penalty" echoed over Lan Mansion.

Zhu Biao looked at Lan Shou and said, "Since you have confessed, let's take him into custody and bring him to justice."

"Thank you, Your Highness, the Crown Prince. Thank you, Your Highness, the Crown Prince."

While Lan Shou was being dragged down by the guards, he was still uttering words of gratitude.

Also detained with him was Lan Shou's son, Lan Ping.

And the rest of the Lan family.

Naturally, Lan Shou and Lan Ping will be punished by death. Even if the rest of the tribe is lucky enough to survive, they will also be punished by living.

Zhu Biao then turned to look at Lu Tao, the magistrate of Dingyuan County, with disappointment in his eyes, and said, "Lu Tao, who is your salary as a servant of the imperial court?"

Li Jin also asked him this sentence some time ago.

Lu Tao, who was eloquent and talkative at that time, could not say a word when facing Zhu Biao this time.

"Since you don't work for the imperial court, then the imperial court doesn't have a salary for you. Come here, take off his clothes, and escort him back to Beijing to be convicted."

After Zhu Biao finished speaking, he never looked at Lu Tao again and turned around and walked outside Lan Mansion.

After Mao Xiang explained what his guards should pay attention to, he immediately followed them.

Only the wealthy squires of Dingyuan County were left kneeling on the spot, not daring to get up for a long time.

After Zhu Biao and the others left, no matter how long it took, someone finally looked up.
