I am a thief in the Tang Dynasty

The common people talked about it a lot, and soon guessed the intentions of these noble families.

In the governor's mansion.

Fang Xuanling was reading a book. When he heard the commotion outside, he asked Fang Liu to go and see what was going on.

After a while, after hearing Fang Liu's feedback.

Fang Xuanling frowned, and after a few breaths.

He smiled coldly, put down the book in his hand and said:

"This is a compliment to Fang."

"So that Fang can loosen his grip a little."

"What a good method and plan."

"The Songzhou nobles were bullied so badly by Song Lao Er."

"It seems like he only bullies the weak and fears the strong!"

"Unfortunately, Fang is not a pushover and is not easy to be manipulated!"

Fang Xuanling took the initiative and strode to the gate of the governor's mansion.

He looked at the convoy that was gathering on the street outside the governor's mansion, and the endless convoy was still gathering.

And those nobles who were behind this.

Standing outside the governor's mansion.

Talking happily.

Waiting for the rest of the nobles who have not arrived yet.

Around the convoy, people were watching the fun.

No matter whether you guessed it before or not, now you all understand what the team does.

Everyone is looking forward to what will happen next.

Fang Xuanling did not wait for the gentry to gather completely.

He took the lead and strode out of the governor's mansion with big strides.

Standing on the steps with his head held high, he said loudly:

"Everyone, I don't know what a good thing has happened."

"Why are so many people gathered at the gate of the governor's mansion?"

"Also, what are all these vehicles pulling?"

As he spoke, Fang Liu, who was following behind him, asked those who were beating drums and gongs to stop.

On the quiet street, Fang Xuanling's voice drifted to the ears of many people.

The eyes of all the nobles lit up and they were about to speak.

Fang Xuanling leaned forward and squinted at the things on the carriage, pretending to be grateful and said:

"My goodness, it's all money and food!"

"I thank you all on behalf of the Tang Dynasty, Your Majesty, and the people of the world."

"With the money and food you donated, the soldiers on the northern border will no longer have to worry."

"It can also avenge the blood feud of the Eastern Turks who massacred the people of our Tang Dynasty three years ago!"

Fang Xuanling became more and more excited and serious as he spoke, and he seemed to roar:

"Fang, I salute you!"

He solemnly crossed his arms and bowed to the people in front of him.

After hearing these words, the expressions of all the nobles froze.

My goodness, they originally wanted to use public opinion to coerce Fang Xuanling.

But they haven't said or done anything yet.

He was outmaneuvered by Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling directly set him up with the righteousness.

Don't wait for them to react.

The people's blood boiled when they heard this and they shouted excitedly.

"As the people of the Tang Dynasty are united, the northern barbarians will surely be defeated!"

"The Tang Dynasty is mighty, your majesty is mighty, and the soldiers are mighty!"

"The noble families of Songzhou are the ones who are loyal to their country and deserve our respect!"

"I, on behalf of the soldiers on the frontier, would like to thank you all for your generosity!"

......

The nobles were completely controlled.

Watching the people around them bow and thank them from the bottom of their hearts.

Under the created atmosphere, everyone couldn't help but hold their heads high and chests puffed out, with excitement and pride on their faces.

Although what those who praised them in the past said sounded nice.

But there is no real feeling, they all have ulterior motives.

The feeling of being admired by everyone right now.

Really!

nice!

But someone reacted quickly.

His face twitched unnaturally.

It’s all over!

It's totally screwed!

Nothing done!

Fang Xuanling lost the battle immediately after hearing these words.

All the plans that we discussed for a long time last night are gone.

Everyone looked at each other and realized the seriousness of the matter.

We must quickly remedy the situation and recover some of the losses.

All the clan leaders of the noble families swarmed over.

They bowed to Fang Xuanling with their arms crossed and said with great respect:

"We have met the Duke of Wei!"

Then, they started talking at once.

"It's just a small favor for us to donate money and food. If there is a chance, we will definitely fight on the battlefield and serve our country."

"Duke Wei, we are not worthy of your gift. We are all citizens of the Tang Dynasty. We cannot fight in the battlefield, but we have some money and food at home to show our gratitude."

"Duke Wei, I misunderstood you! This money and grain is compensation..."

Some people reacted quickly, but some people didn't.

One of them almost let the cat out of the bag, but the person next to him reacted quickly and covered his mouth.

Chapter 626: Give a stick, then a date

Fang Xuanling smiled as he looked at the person who almost let the cat out of the bag.

Then scan the audience.

The nobles were already embarrassed.

The smile was even more awkward.

Fang Xuanling whispered:

"I also know what you are thinking."

"No need to do these empty things."

His intimidating look and tone made sweat appear on everyone's forehead.

A group of people quickly whispered "yes"!

Fang Xuanling continued to knock:

"There's going to be a war in the North."

"The treasury is empty, so I have no choice but to ask you to borrow money and food."

"This war is not fought for the royal family."

"It's for you guys!"

"The royal family is firmly in power, and foreign enemies dare not invade the Tang Dynasty."

"You can develop safely, right?"

Everyone cursed in their hearts.

Why ask them to borrow? It's obviously robbery.

Besides, what's there to fight for them.

That's complete bullshit!

They are in the Central Plains.

Now the Tang Dynasty is strong and powerful.

The Eastern Turks did not dare to use force against the Tang Dynasty.

These Songzhou nobles were not involved in the war at all!

It was clearly Li Shimin and the group of generals in the court who wanted to fight.

Only then did they point their knives at these nobles and rob them of their money and food.

And he said it in such a high-sounding way.

It's really shameless.

They cursed Fang Xuanling in their hearts.

But his face was full of flattering smiles.

How could Fang Xuanling not know what these people were thinking?

He continued:

"I just want money and food."

"Pull everything else back."

"Give me enough money and food, and I'll leave."

The stick hit hard.

No, it should be the knife that chopped down hard.

The nobles now laughed obsequiously.

His face turned colder and he remained silent.

Fang Xuanling saw this and said calmly:
