Chapter 286 Plan

The news that dozens of royal clan relatives impeached the two clans quickly spread throughout Chang'an.

The people were discussing this, but most of them were pessimistic. These years, the Gu and Zhao families had relied on their status as Nine Celestials, and they had done a lot of good things in Chang'an City. The people in the city could be said to be filled with grievances against them. Naturally, under such a heavy pressure, there had been incidents where they had taken the risk to report the two families.

However, the final result was that the informant had died unknowingly, and the matter was not settled.

Gu and Zhao families, or the Longevity Division behind them, was deeply rooted in the hearts of the common people. Even if the Imperial Clan impeached them, most people still had great doubts about whether they could pull out the two malignant tumors that were deeply planted in Great Zhou's flesh and blood.

But soon, good news came from the commoners.

After accepting these impeachments, the Imperial Court sent officials to the Heavenly Policy Prefecture with the imperial edict. It was said that they had handed over the investigation and handling of this matter to the Young Prefecture Master.

This Young Manor Master could also be counted as a influential figure in Chang'an City.

First, they seized the Yin Clan and uprooted the Yin Clan that had a deep connection with the Long Night Division. Apart from some old and young people, the other direct descendants of the Yin Clan were all ambushed and executed. Afterwards, he even created a drum of grievances, wantonly gathering evidence of the crimes committed by those clans and families in Chang'an City, and doing his best to investigate regardless of their size. Although there were many people in the city who had just said something like Yi Zhe to question the fate that Lord Prefecture Master was about to suffer.

But after a few months, not only did the Tian Ce Mansion not collapse, it had already expanded several times to the size of seven or eight hundred people. However, none of the nobles in Chang'an dared to fight it head-on.

Now that the Imperial Court had placed the investigation into the Gu and Zhao families on the Tian Ce Mansion, with the incompatible posture between the Tian Ce Mansion and the Long Night Division, it was clear that there was no chance of a good deal happening. As bystanders, the people of Chang'an became extremely concerned about the development of this matter.

…

Four or five days passed in a flash. The investigation into the Gu and Zhao families was progressing like wildfire. The Heavenly Policy Clan had even expanded to nearly a thousand people. The streets of Chang'an City were filled with officials investigating the Gu and Zhao families 's Heavenly Policy Clan. Even so, the Gu Clan and Zhao Clan did not retaliate. As for the Longevity Division behind them, they did make some moves, but the target was not the Tian Ce Mansion in the hands of Manor Chief Xu, but the various royal clans that impeached the Gu and Zhao families.

The day after the clans impeached Gu and Zhao families, the emissary of the Greedy Wolf Tribe, Gongsun Ming, who had disappeared for several years, once again appeared in everyone's sight. This Imperial Envoy, who had once led the case against the Shepherd King, was extremely ruthless. Even against the royal clan, he did not show any mercy. In just a few days, more than ten of his clan members had been arrested by him for various absurd or shocking reasons and thrown into the Longevity Division's prison.

Thus, an extremely absurd scene appeared in the eyes of the people of Chang'an City.

The Tian Ce Mansion continued to seal up the Gu and Zhao families 's and the Zhao Clan's properties. Some of the clans close to them were also implicated and even sent to prison. Although the Gu and Zhao families and the Gu and Zhao families could not be defeated in a short period of time, with the passage of time, this matter seemed to be only a matter of time. Meanwhile, the Longevity Division was constantly searching for the royal clan's clan relatives. Both of them were constantly accelerating their speed, but at the same time, they had a tacit understanding that they did not attack each other.

Every day in Chang'an City, those once high and mighty officials and nobles were constantly reduced to prisoners. For a time, Nuoda Chang'an City could be said to be crying in the wind, and people were panicking.

…

Bang!

In the box of Osmanthus Flower House, Zhu Longqi smashed the precious porcelain in his hand and sat on the first seat with a gloomy expression without saying a word.

"Young Master Zhu, calm down. Don't get mad at yourself for these things." Lang Chao poured a cup of wine for Zhu Longqi with a flattering smile and said with a smile.

"Hmph! I wonder what father is thinking and let Xu Han stir up trouble in Chang'an City." Zhu Longqi took a sip of the wine in front of him and said resentfully, "In the past, Xu Han held Jizhou in his hand and controlled the gate of the Great Zhou Empire. He was just afraid."

"But now, Great Xia has already become even more inseparable from the Chen Kingdom. They simply have no time to deal with Great Zhou for a short period of time. Moreover, the formation of the Azure Dragon Army has also been completed. Why should they allow Xu Han to be arrogant and domineering?"

At the mention of Xu Han's name, Zhu Longqi, who had always been quite magnanimous, hated him to the point of itching his teeth.

He was Zhu Longqi, the son of Zhu Xian, the head of the Long Night Division. He was a disciple of the Purple Radiance Saber Saint Sect of the Heavenspan Sect, and his cultivation was exceptionally talented. With such a talent, both his attainments and his family background had reached near perfection.

Half a year ago, in front of almost all the influential figures in the Jianghu of Great Zhou, he was defeated by Xu Han, who was unknown to everyone at that time. Not only did he lose face and sweep away his prestige in this battle, he even cupped his hands over the beautiful woman he had coveted for a long time.

Of course, he wanted revenge, but Zhu Xian told him that Big Yellow City was a dead end, and Xu Han was sent to Big Yellow City, so there was only one way to die. There was no need for a living person to compete with a dead person, so Young Master Zhu suppressed his anger and waited patiently for news of Xu Han's death.

However, even in the end, he did not wait for the news he wanted. Instead, he waited for the news that the Tian Ce Mansion 's Manor Master had triumphantly returned to destroy Cui Ting's 500,000 troops.

At this time, his father told him that Xu Han held Jizhou in his hand and that he could not be underestimated. Once the Azure Dragon Army was reorganized, they would be able to take their lives. Zhu Longqi, who had always been obedient to his father, once again chose to compromise and wait.

He had waited for the reconstruction of the Azure Dragon Army, and even for the arrival of various Jianghu personages led by Sikong Bai, but his father still chose to endure and concede to Xu Han.

This made Zhu Longqi puzzled and even angry.

He didn't understand why the Longevity Division was so afraid of a small Xu Han even though they could kill the entire Mu Palace and bring down the Heavenly Policy Palace that had once covered the sky.

"Zhu Shouzuo has the consideration of Zhu Shouzuo. Young Master Zhu, don't be suspicious." Lu Feng, who was at the side, also said at that time.

"Humph! Consideration? I think he is old and doesn't have the courage to take risks." Zhu Longqi, whose cheeks were already flushed red from drinking, had clearly lost his composure when he spoke.

At that time, Lang Chaosha exchanged a glance with Lu Feng before saying, "Young Master Zhu misunderstood. Elder Sikong said that the first lord was not afraid of Xu Han, but…"

"What is it?" Zhu Longqi raised his head and asked.

However, Lang Chaosha looked embarrassed when he was drunk. "Young Master, don't ask any more questions. In short, I believe the first lord."

"If I ask you to tell me, then tell me!"

'"This" Lang Chaosha was still hesitant.

"Sigh, Brother Zhu is not an outsider. Senior Brother, please speak frankly." Lu Fenghu, who was standing at the side, suddenly spoke to persuade him.

"Alright then." Hearing this, Lang Chaosha gritted his teeth and looked at Zhu Longqi, whose face was flushed red, and said, "To tell you the truth, I have complained about this matter to Elder Sikong, and Elder Sikong told me that even now, I still don't dare to attack Xu Han. I'm willing to be the one who made Zhu Shouzuo."

Speaking of the crux of the matter, Lang Chaosha seemed to have some fear as he whispered the name into Zhu Longqi's ears.

"Him?" Hearing this name, Zhu Longqi was also stunned, and his expression instantly became a bit more exciting.

"Yes, although someone has already determined that he is already on the verge of death, after all, there is no news of his death. Zhu Shouzhe is also good, and Elder Sikong is also fearful of fighting."

"Then why don't we wait until we hear the news of his death?" Hearing this, Zhu Longqi said with extreme dissatisfaction.

"That's right, I also feel that I can't wait like this!" When Lang Chaosha and Lu Feng saw Zhu Longqi's expression, they immediately revealed a hint of joy. They echoed.

"Actually, I have always had an idea that I can test whether that person is still alive or not, and try to take back that Heavenly Punishment Sword with the elder as the leader. It's just that …" The two of them took advantage of the hot metal to strike.

Hearing this, Zhu Longqi's drunkenness instantly sobered up. The flush on his face faded away, and his eyebrows darkened again.

He sat back in his seat without revealing any traces. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "It seems like the two of you have already planned this out, right?"

Lang Chaosha and Lu Feng smiled embarrassedly when they saw that their plan had been seen through. They no longer concealed it and simply said calmly, "To be honest, my brothers have a deep enmity with Xu Han, and they have been suppressed and excluded by Song Yueming in the sect, causing them to live a very miserable life." "This is why I want to seek out Brother Zhu to conspire with me in a major matter. One is to seek revenge, and the other is to have a foothold in the sect."

"So you want to use me as a spear?" Zhu Longqi retorted, his tone of displeasure unconcealed.

"Brother Zhu, you misunderstand. We want to accomplish this major event together with Brother Zhu. There is absolutely no intention of using it." The two of them hurriedly said sincerely.

"Hmph." Zhu Longqi snorted coldly, and it was rare for him to probe into this matter. He sat down and said, "Then tell me about your plan."
