The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 136
"Monsters are rampant, every mansion must restrain servants from entering the mansion, otherwise they will be killed immediately!"

At this moment, the sky was bright, and the old butler of the Zhang Mansion was lying on the gate, observing the outside world through the crack of the door.

Inside the gate of the Zhang Mansion, the servants were eating white flour steamed buns with sticks in their hands. They didn't sleep most of the night.

At this moment, the family advocate Mingde came out from the inner house, and all the servants immediately stood up and saluted.

"master!"

The most important thing for a housekeeper to run a family is to establish rules, especially in this end of the world, and Zhang Mingde is well versed in the truth.

Ignoring these people, Zhang Mingde walked towards the gate with a cold face.

"Master, there are palace guards everywhere outside, it seems that something serious has happened!" the butler reported, hooking his waist.

"It's a big deal, but I don't know what it is!"

Zhang Mingde's expression was cold, and it could be heard from his words that he was very suspicious of the explanation given by the palace.

"How many people have been sent?"

"There are six before and after, but none of them have come back yet!"

Standing at the crack of the door, looking at the empty street outside, Zhang Mingde said with emotion: "I'm afraid they will never come back again!"

…………

With a bang, the side door of the palace opened, and an official, accompanied by guards, slowly stepped out of the door.

This person is Shi Guan Hetai, the right chief of the palace. At this moment, his expression is serious, but his heart is in shock.

Such a big event happened last night, but he, a high-ranking official in the palace, didn't hear any news.

This also shows how strong Zhao Yanxun's control over the Guards Department and the palace is.

Of course, what shocked Guan Hetai even more was that the palace took control of Beicheng overnight.

Different from other places in the city, Beicheng is a place where dignitaries live together. These big families keep a lot of servants in captivity, and it is not easy to suppress them.

Walking out of the palace, Guan Hetai took a deep breath, remembering the task His Royal Highness King Yong entrusted to him, he suddenly felt a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

To put it simply, Zhao Yanxun asked to concentrate the manpower and resources in the city and hand them over to the palace for unified deployment, while he, Guan Hetai, would be in charge of the negotiations.

This matter is definitely not easy to talk about, but as long as there is a possibility of successful negotiation, Guan Hetai will do his best.

Taking a carriage and escorted by the newly recruited soldiers from the palace, Guan Hetai hurried to the governor's yamen.

From time to time on the road, guards from the palace patrolled and interrogated him. Every time, Guan Hetai had to walk on the road in person before his carriage could pass through the customs.

Every one or two streets, Guan Hetai would find several bloody corpses lying on the side of the road.

I don't know how many people died last night to make these dignitaries calm down... Guan Hetai thought to himself.

Except for the guards and soldiers, there was no one else on the street, and Guan Hetai's carriage soon arrived at the governor's office.

After getting out of the carriage, Guan Hetai saw the guards of the palace guarding outside the yamen.

And under the steps outside the yamen, there are more than a dozen people tied up tightly, and these are the servants of the yamen.

To say that last night's actions greatly highlighted the speed of soldiers, and the situation was brought under control without giving these dignitaries any time to react.

Regardless of the powerful or the government, although they have a large number of manpower and material resources, in the final analysis, they are a mess.

With Zhao Yanxun being strong enough and taking the first step to attack, it is not surprising to catch them all.

After getting off the carriage, Guan Hetai simply tidied up his clothes before walking into the yamen.

Inside the yamen, the guards standing guard at this moment are also the guards of the palace, and this place has been controlled by the palace of Yongwang.

Stepping forward, Guan Hetai came outside the lobby, and he had already seen a large number of officials under house arrest inside.

And everyone in the lobby also focused their attention on Guan Hetai.

In the lobby, everyone was discussing, making the lobby noisy.

But Guan Hetai was standing at the door, clasped his hands and said: "My lords, please be polite!"

At the head of the hall, Tian Jing gave a cold snort, and then scolded: "Who is in the hall, why can't you be polite when you meet the Shangguan?"

Many of the officials in the hall are higher than Guan Hetai, and Tian Jingtong is even higher than Guan Hetai.

Although Guan Hetai is tactful, he represents the palace now, so he is not weak at all: "I am here for His Highness, are you all of higher rank than His Highness?"

This opening is aggressive.

All the officials at the scene were silent, leaving Tian Jingtong in a desperate situation.

Still, Cheng Wenguang was interesting enough, and said at this moment: "Isn't it Guan Changshi?"

"Prince Yong's Mansion put us under house arrest, what exactly do you want to do?"

Guan Hetai calmly replied: "There were monsters making trouble last night, so the palace sent troops to clear them up!"

"Then why are we still under house arrest here now? Could it be that the monster hasn't been wiped out yet?" Cheng Wenguang asked back.

"It's hard to say. In order to prevent accidents, it's better for you adults to stay here!"

Guan Hetai was a little nervous at first, but after a few more words, he was really calm at the moment.

Status in the world is never determined by superficial status. In the past, the imperial court supported the government, but where is the imperial court now?
It was Guan Hetai, who stood behind the Prince Yong's Mansion, the biggest force in Yuanyang City, Guan Hetai's waist was naturally very hard.

"Then when will it be cleaned up?" Tian Jingtong scolded angrily.

Faced with the roar of the big official in the frontier, Guan Hetai remained calm on the face.

He didn't rush to answer, but after brushing off his sleeves, he said slowly: "Your Highness has his own decision on this matter!"

The naked domineering behavior made the officials present extremely uncomfortable, but they were powerless to change.

At this moment, a guard brought a chair, Guan Hetai sat on it slowly, and said solemnly: "Everyone, let's talk about some serious business!"

"What business?" Cheng Wenguang asked.

"For the sake of the safety of Yuanyang City and the life and death of the people in the city, Your Highness wants to centralize the deployment of manpower and material resources in the city. You must persuade the major households in the city to obey my king's order!"

After saying this, Guan Hetai added: "Of course, Longyou Dusi must obey my king's orders..."

"King Yong is really going to rebel, Guan Hetai...you follow these rebellious officials and thieves, are you not afraid of thunder?" Tian Jingtong scolded angrily.

Unexpectedly, what he said could annoy the guards outside.

A few guards behind Guan Hetai broke into the hall and walked directly towards Tian Jingtong who was at the top.

"What are you going to do?"

The officials wanted to stop them, but they couldn't stop these wolf-like guards, they were pushed back and forth in two or three strokes.

One of the guards came in front of Tian Jingtong, kicked him on the chair, and knocked Tian Jingtong, the official of the frontier, down on the spot.

That's not enough, before Tian Jingtong could feel that the gentleness swept the floor, the remaining guards rushed forward and kicked him a few more times.

Poor Tian Jingtong, a dignified frontier official, is just like a pariah in his eyes, being beaten at will by the guards.

At this moment, Cheng Wenguang came to Guan Hetai and said angrily, "Guan Hetai, take care of your subordinates!"

Unexpectedly, Guan Hetai's voice was louder, and he said in a strong tone: "Go back, or you will end up with him!"
