Jiangnan.

The tyrant stands in the void, overlooking the entire Jiangnan land.

The night was dark, and it was the time when the people of Jiangnan were resting. However, under the surface, there was a thick blood.

After exterminating the Cui family, Xiongba led the gang members of the world to rush to the next family.

Then raid the house and exterminate the clan.

Repeat what was done at Choi.

All the aristocratic families who discussed with Cui Clan how to resist the emperor's decree were Xiongba's next goal.

overnight.

The sky of the entire Jiangnan family has collapsed.

Whether it's the World Guild Gang, or Zhou Feng and Zhou Yun, there are countless blood stains on their hands.

From the major clans that are second only to the Cui clan, to the small clans with few members, they have all suffered an unprecedented clean-up!

Not a single clan has escaped.

No family clan can survive to the next day.

With the strength of the Underworld Association, and Xiongba's personal shot, it would not take even a moment to annihilate an ordinary family.

Often the blood of this aristocratic family on the ground is still hot, and the world has already moved to the next family.

Xiongba knew in his heart that the speed of killing these noble families must be fast.

Otherwise, it would be troublesome if these aristocratic families reacted and fled in panic until the next day.

Only when they are not alert and stay in their own mansions, will they be the most effortless.

Just one night.

Under the action of Xiongba, the blood of the aristocratic clan almost dyed the land of Jiangnan red.

the next day.

The people of Jiangnan were horrified to find that the family was gone...

In an instant.

Jiangnan was completely in a panic.

In particular, some of the remaining aristocratic clans fled Jiangnan with all their belongings overnight.

These surviving aristocratic clans are not omitted by Xiongba, but because they did not participate in Cui's plan.

Therefore, Xiongba did not take action against these aristocratic clans.

The fact that the Jiangnan family was slaughtered not only affected Jiangnan, but also radiated towards other areas of the Tang Empire at a very terrifying speed.

Two days later.

The news finally reached Chang'an.

...

...

Tai Chi Temple.

Early Tang Dynasty.

Li Sigang sat on the throne of the dragon chair, and Zhang Juzheng, the chief assistant of the cabinet, stood up and cupped his hands: Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Jiangnan, and the local clan has been killed overnight.

Zhang Juzheng's voice just fell.

The pupils of the court officials shrank, all showing a look that was hard to suffocate.

Jiangnan?

The family was wiped out overnight?

Jiangnan has been rich since ancient times, so it is also home to many aristocratic clans.

According to the records of the imperial court, there were not only 500 families in the south of the Yangtze River, but also 300 families.

These aristocratic clans are intertwined, and they jointly control the economic and political affairs of Jiangnan.

but now......

These families were all bloodbathed?

And still overnight?

Civil and military officials are full of incredible faces!

yes?

Li Siduan sat on the throne of the dragon chair and glanced at the memorial presented by Zhang Juzheng, but his expression did not change.

It was Li Si's order that the Jiangnan family was bloodbathed.

At this time, when the news came, Li Si certainly wouldn't be surprised.

However, Li Si would not take the initiative to speak out about the blood-washing of Jiangnan.

Those families in the south of the Yangtze River, if they follow the normal procedures of the court, they will not be able to deal with them until next year.

Rather than that, it would be better to slash the horses with a quick knife and kill them all.

Li Si closed the memorial and waved his hand: Aiqing, tell me, what happened in Jiangnan?

According to the order.

Although Zhang Juzheng, the chief assistant of the cabinet, had doubts in his heart, he still said truthfully: On the night two days ago, a group of forces quietly sneaked into Jiangnan, and in one night, they wiped out most of the aristocratic clans in Jiangnan.

Zhang Juzheng became more and more confused.

Today, in the Tang Empire, Jiedushi was swept away by the emperor, and the martial arts of all corners of the world fell into the hands of the World Association.

Zhang Juzheng couldn't think of any faction that could do this without knowing it.

unless......

Zhang Juzheng was slightly startled and stopped talking.

Zhang Juzheng's words made the civil and military officials boil.

The courtiers never imagined that when the Tang Empire was at its peak, there were forces that dared to destroy the Jiangnan family?

This is not only to slap the face of the Tang Empire, but also to humiliate these courtiers in the court.

However, there are still a small number of courtiers, such as Yang Qinglin and others, who are aware of the weirdness of this matter.

First, His Majesty is too calm.

The second is that a few days ago, several officials from the Cui clan in the south of the Yangtze River just persuaded His Majesty to take back the holy will in the court...

As a result, a few days later, the Jiangnan family was bloodbathed.

If there is no relationship between the two, who would believe it?

Wanting to understand this, Yang Qinglin and several other courtiers broke out in cold sweat instantly.

If it is as they guessed, everything can be explained now...

But it's also horrible.

Yang Qinglin and the others had their scalps numb, and they didn't dare to express their guesses.

What are you kidding? !

If what he thought was true, wouldn't he be courting death if he said it at this time?

However.

Above the court, there are still upright courtiers who are not angry, thinking that the bloodbath of the Jiangnan family has seriously offended the majesty of the Tang Empire.

His Majesty.

An old minister with white hair and beard stood up and said to the emperor: I think this matter must be thoroughly investigated, otherwise, what will be the face of my Tang Empire?

A thorough investigation?

Li Si touched his chin.

really.

Such a big thing happened in Jiangnan, and we really need to check it out.

Otherwise, it would be strange if Li Si just fooled around.

Li Siwei leaned on the throne of the dragon chair: Where does Aiqing think to check it?

Your Majesty, the old minister feels that there must be a plan to do such a cruel thing.

Even if the murderer is not in Jiangnan, he is definitely not far from Jiangnan.

Therefore, thoroughly investigate Jiangnan and its surroundings, and the focus should be on those sectarian forces on the rivers and lakes.

Do you think the Jiangnan incident is the hand of the sect? Li Si asked casually with narrowed eyes.

The old minister is just suspicious!

In Jiangnan, the biggest force, apart from the government, is the Cui Clan.

But this Jiangnan bloodbath, Cui's is also in it, so it can't be Cui's doing.

Besides the Cui Clan, there is no powerful family around Jiangnan that is powerful enough to wash Jiangnan's blood overnight.

Therefore, the sectarian suspicion of Jianghu martial arts is very large.

I see. Li Si nodded slightly.

Those warriors on the rivers and lakes dare to be so bold. Li Si turned his eyes and landed on Yuan Zai, who had been standing respectfully.

Yuan Zai, go and investigate this matter thoroughly.

Li Si's voice just fell.

Won Jae was so frightened that he almost fell on the ground.

Yuan Zai never dreamed that the emperor asked him to investigate this case?

Let him, Tai Chang Shaoqing, who has no real power and knows nothing about investigating cases, investigate such a monstrous bloody case?
