Chapter 517 Death of Gao Jialin

Wu Kaiyuan quickly walked up to the execution platform and came directly in front of Gao Jialin. "Mr. Gao, since you are the nephew of the Minister of the Central Secretariat, I will let you die knowingly."

"You are too greedy. You even don't let go of the hard-earned money of the common people. Nearly 30% of the common people in Kyoto rent houses from pawnshops. They are the houses of the common people themselves. This is not a big deal in normal times. With the protection of the Minister of the Central Secretariat, no one dares to do anything to you."

"Now that the Yan army is besieging the city, Lin Feng has made full use of this and promised to return the houses to the common people, thus winning the support of a large number of Kyoto people."

"As the saying goes, he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. Since your Majesty has lost the hearts of the people, do you think you should die?"

After Wu Kaiyuan finished speaking, Gao Jialin immediately realized that he had run into the muzzle of the emperor's gun, and immediately shook his head, "Lord Wu, how many days do you think the Kingdom of Yue can survive?"

Wu Kaiyuan smiled and said, "Master Gao, no matter how many days the Kingdom of Yue can survive, you will not see it anyway. Execute immediately!"

"Yes!"

"Hahaha! If I die, you won't be able to live for many days. I'll be waiting for you on the road to the underworld."

"puff!"

Fengyuwei raised his knife and brought it down, Gao Jialin's head was cut off and blood gushed out...

Wu Kaiyuan shook his head. "Someone, bring Ye Yan who has been following us here to me."

"Yes, Lord Qianshi!"

Soon, Ye Yan was brought to Wu Kaiyuan by two Fengyu Guards.

Ye Yan was very scared. He lowered his head and his body trembled uncontrollably, because the person in front of him was someone who dared to kill even the core members of the Gao family. If such a person wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as stepping on an ant.

"Ye Yan, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yan immediately knelt down on the ground, "Your humble servant Ye Yan greets you, sir!"

Wu Kaiyuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, we won't kill you. In a moment, you can use my carriage to bring your young master's body back to Gao's house. If the Minister of the Central Secretariat asks you about it, just tell the truth. Oh, and tell the Minister of the Central Secretariat that I am also acting on orders, and I apologize."

Ye Yan quickly stood up and bowed respectfully to Wu Kaiyuan, "Thank you for not killing me!"

Wu Kaiyuan nodded and said, "Boss Jia, since Manager Ye is busy, I will leave the matter of returning the deeds to the people to you."

"Yes, sir! I promise to complete the task!"

Jia Zhichun hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, then rode on horseback with a team of wind and rain guards and headed straight for the Kyoto Prefecture Yahang.

"Go back to Fengyutai!"

"Yes, Lord Qianshi!"

After everyone left the execution platform, Ye Yan carefully moved Gao Jialin's body onto the carriage, and then drove the carriage towards Xingzheng Street at the fastest speed...

High House.

living room.

Gao Yanqing was meeting with the Minister of Rites Zhou Jiquan. The two sat opposite each other and drank tea leisurely. After some casual chat, Zhou Jiquan began to get down to business.

"Master Gao, the Yan army is now besieging the city, and the capital is full of Yan army leaflets. Although the common people and soldiers in the city don't say it, they are probably ready for the Yan army to enter the city. What should we do next? Please give me your advice!"

Gao Yanqing smiled and said, "Master Zhou, don't worry. Didn't the Yan Army's leaflets say that the Feitian Battalion will not bomb River Valley City? We still have time."

"Master Gao, some of the Yan army's leaflets are written specifically for the common people, some are written specifically for the soldiers, and some are written specifically for His Majesty, but there are no leaflets written for us civil and military officials. Do you think I can not be anxious?"

"Sir Zhou, it is well known that Lin Feng's ultimate goal is to peacefully unify the Kingdom of Yue. As long as Your Majesty is willing to leave the city and surrender, then we will naturally be fine."

"On the contrary, if Your Majesty resolutely resists, the day the city falls will be the day we die. This is why Lin Feng did not write leaflets for our civil and military officials."

Zhou Jiquan nodded thoughtfully, "Master Gao, what you said makes sense. Do you think His Majesty will agree to leave the city and surrender?"

Gao Yanqing shook his head. "At present, it seems unlikely. Your Majesty has been the emperor for seventeen years and has become accustomed to the feeling of being high and mighty. Letting him be a prince under Emperor Yan would be even more uncomfortable for him than killing him."

"Besides, looking at the history of the world, which king who lost his country could have a good end? So even for your own life, Your Majesty will never leave the city and surrender."

"Master Gao, what should we do next?"

"Sir Zhou, we don't need to do anything for now. Just wait and see. Oh, by the way, please inform our people that His Majesty is in a very bad mood at the moment. Tell them not to write a letter to persuade them to surrender at this time, otherwise I will not be able to protect them."

"Don't worry, Master Gao. I understand."

Gao Yanqing nodded and said, "Master Zhou, you can go back first! If the situation changes, I will send someone to inform you as soon as possible."

"I'm resigning!"

Zhou Jiquan bowed, turned around and left quickly...

Gao Yanqing knew very well that even if Yan's army did not attack the city, the State of Yue would not be able to hold out for a few days, because the amount of food consumed every day by the more than 600,000 civilians and 200,000 troops in the city was an astronomical figure. The day when the food in the city was eaten up would be the end of the State of Yue.

As the saying goes, a thousand-year-old clan lasts for a hundred-year dynasty. At this critical historical juncture, Gao Yanqing’s first consideration is not the national interests of Yue State, but the family interests of the Gao family. He is thinking about how the Gao family should gain a foothold in Yan State after the demise of Yue State.

Just as Gao Yanqing closed his eyes in deep thought, Gao Quan, the housekeeper of the Gao family, hurried into the reception room.

"Master, it's bad. Master Jialin has been killed."

Gao Yanqing immediately opened his eyes and stood up from his chair. "Gao Quan, what on earth is going on? Who is so bold as to kill my nephew?"

Gao Quan quickly cupped his hands and said, "Master, just now Ye Yan, the manager of the dental shop, brought Master Jialin's body back to the Gao residence in a carriage. The Third Old Lady fainted on the spot when she saw it."

"When the Third Master heard that it was Fengyutai Assistant Wu Kaiyuan who killed Young Master Jialin, he wanted to take people to Fengyutai to seek an explanation. Fortunately, the Second Master was there and stopped the Third Master in time. Patriarch, please go over and take a look!"

"Gao Quan, where is Jialin's body now?"

"Go back to the master's house, in the courtyard where the third master lives."

Gao Yanqing stood up and walked out, and soon came to the courtyard where Gao Yanming, the third master of the Gao family, lived. He heard a woman crying from afar, so he walked in quickly.

Gao Yanqing is the head of the Gao family. His sudden arrival caused all the Gao family members to fall silent.

Gao Yanqing came directly to Gao Jialin's body, lifted the white cloth covering it, and his face suddenly turned black. It was such a cruel method to separate the body.

At this moment, all the members of the third branch of the Gao family, headed by Gao Yanming, knelt on the ground.

"Brother, Jialin died tragically. That Wu from Fengyutai was too much of a bully. You must help me!"

Gao Yanqing raised his hand, "Jia Lin is my nephew, I will ask for an explanation for him, everyone stand up!"

"Second brother, third brother, the two of you come with me to the living room to talk. Gao Quan, go and bring Ye Yan to the living room as well."

"Yes, master!"

Gao Quan bowed, turned around and walked away quickly...
