The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince
Chapter 238: 1 Massacre
But when they heard someone dare to touch the people of Tianxian Pavilion, they immediately rushed over and joined the killing army. The people brought by Ye Yaozong and his men were killed one-sidedly.
However, the dozen or so men in black who rushed out of the Tianxian Pavilion were ambushed and killed from time to time. Because it was too chaotic, they didn't know who did it.
I only heard someone shouting, "You killed my people from Tianxian Pavilion, I will fight you to death!"
Then the battlefield became even more chaotic.
Ye Yaozong and Hou Jinzhong were both stunned. They could not imagine that things would develop like this. They only wanted to kill Jiang Fan and Chu Chengxiong and never thought of having a conflict with the people from Tianxian Pavilion.
But the current situation is no longer controllable.
Just as the two were horrified, suddenly, someone grabbed their collars from behind and pulled them to a corner in the blink of an eye.
When they saw the person in front of them, Ye Yaozong and Hou Jinzhong were instantly horrified.
"It's you..." Ye Yaozong looked at Jiang Fan and Chu Chengxiong in front of him with shock and anger. Just as he was about to open his mouth to speak, a knife pierced his heart.
Hou Jinzhong saw this and wanted to escape in fear. Before he could move, Chu Chengxiong pierced his heart. The two looked at Jiang Fan and Chu Chengxiong with cold and amused expressions, their eyes full of confusion and horror.
Jiang Fan retracted the dagger that had stabbed Ye Yaozong's heart and looked at the limp Ye Yaozong without any emotion in his eyes.
At the same time, in the field, Zhong Ling and Su Yuqing were masked and moving through the crowd. Wherever they passed, the enemies fell one by one.
The strength displayed by Su Yuqing was actually not weaker than Zhong Ling.
With these two first-rate masters here, no matter whether it is the people brought by Ye Yaozong or the people from Tianxian Pavilion, they are no match at all.
The black-clad men in white robes were shuttling back and forth on the battlefield, shouting angrily: "You guys from Tianxian Pavilion are going too far. You dare to kill my young master Ye Yaozong. Our master will never let you go. And Lord Hou Qinglin will not let you go either."
At this time, someone else said, "Humph... You dare to come to my Tianxian Pavilion to cause trouble and kill my people. You are looking for death... You deserve to be killed."
Then, as the killing continued, Jiang Fan and the white-robed soldiers and others rushed out of the alley, leaving the place almost entirely with corpses.
However, not long after Jiang Fan and others left, several people crawled out from the pile of corpses and fled out of the alley in panic.
On the Tianxian Pavilion side, two men in black also woke up and then fled back to the Tianxian Pavilion.
In the darkness outside the alley, Jiang Fan looked at those who escaped with a curled mouth. Chu Chengxiong and Chu Chengrui on the side looked at each other with mockery on their faces.
The scene that just happened inside was so confusing that I'm afraid both groups of people didn't know what was going on.
The battle was so inexplicable that they only saw Ye Yaozong and Hou Jinzhong leading the team to chase people.
No one knew who they were chasing, and then they had a conflict with someone who claimed to be from the Tianxian Pavilion.
The people from Tianxian Pavilion were probably also confused. They were attracted by the sound of fighting. Before they understood what was happening, they heard someone say that people from Tianxian Pavilion were attacked.
In this way, the two sides fought in confusion, and most people died inexplicably.
As for the remaining people, they were deliberately left alive. If they were not left behind, how could the two sides start to argue and make trouble?
Seeing that the matter was done, Jiang Fan led everyone back to the inn. The little girl had not yet woken up. After everyone cleaned up.
Su Yuqing stayed behind, as it was already late to go back and she was afraid that something might happen on the way. She also wanted to ask Jiang Fan if he had gained anything in the Tianxian Pavilion.
Jiang Fan stayed in Zhong Ling's room. He took out the account book that Zhong Ling brought back and looked at it carefully. Zhong Ling and Su Yuqing were sitting opposite him, looking at him expectantly.
Jiang Fan frowned as he looked at the contents of the account book. It recorded the grain income, which was more than 500,000 dan.
In addition, there are some iron ore and other strategic materials input, but no output. This account book looks like an account book for hoarding materials.
Jiang Fan handed the account book to Su Yuqing. She frowned as she looked at it. She also noticed the difference in the account book.
However, the locations of the items in the account book were all written in pseudonyms, so it was difficult to find where the items were placed. But she also saw that this account book was unusual.
Jiang Fan took the account book handed over by Su Yuqing and handed it to Zhong Ling.
"Zhong Ling, can you tell what place the above nickname refers to?"
Since Zhong Ling controls an intelligence network, she should know something about the nickname of the Red Lotus Sect.
Zhong Ling took the account book and frowned when she saw the alias on it. However, she nodded to Jiang Fan and said, "I can ask someone to check. There should be news soon. However, there are so many supplies here. I'm afraid there is something wrong with the Red Lotus Cult."
"Well, they are hoarding so many supplies, they must be planning something big..." A cold light flashed in Jiang Fan's eyes.
The Red Lotus Cult was particularly prosperous in Hejianzhou. There were even many Red Lotus Cult members in several surrounding provinces. They had hoarded so many supplies that if Jiang Fan guessed correctly, the Red Lotus Cult would probably rebel.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid the Red Lotus Cult may rebel..." Su Yuqing's eyes were solemn.
"No, I must tell my father about this, otherwise..." Su Yuqing stood up immediately, looking a little anxious.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan looked at Su Yuqing and nodded slightly. This woman was indeed a remarkable woman who could be compared with Yan'er. She guessed the Red Lotus Cult's intentions so quickly just by looking at the account book.
If the Red Lotus Cult wanted to rebel, the first city they would occupy would definitely be Hejian Prefecture. After all, Hejian Prefecture was the richest place in the entire Hejian Continent.
However, it would be too late to inform Su Yuanguang at this time. Moreover, with Su Yuanguang's current ability, if he exposed this matter, it would not only alert the enemy, but also bring him a fatal disaster.
Jiang Fan shook his head and said, "Miss Yuqing, if you don't want your father to get into trouble, it's best to keep this secret from him."
Su Yuqing was slightly stunned when she heard this, as if she had thought of something. She sighed and sat down.
She knew something about the affairs of Hejianzhou. In addition to her father, the governor, she also had a deputy, the Hejian governor.
Under the Hejian Governor, there was the Governor's Counselor in charge of military affairs, and the Governor's Envoy in charge of finances.
These people had long had ulterior motives and cultivated a group of confidants. In fact, his father, the governor, had long become a figurehead.
Seeing Su Yuqing's performance, Jiang Fan sighed.
Su Yuanguang, the governor of Hejian, was in a miserable state. The entire Hejianzhou was infiltrated like a sieve, and he himself was also sidelined.
No wonder he was framed but unable to prove himself.
Although Su Yuanguang is incompetent, he has made remarkable achievements since he governed Hejianzhou and is definitely a talent. In the past few years since he was exiled to Hejianzhou, he has made it very prosperous.
However, perhaps it was due to his personality. He did not understand the rules of officialdom and was not good at intrigue, which is why he ended up like this.
"Your Highness, what are you going to do next?" Su Yuqing looked at Jiang Fan and said.
"I'm afraid your trip to Hejianzhou this time was a trap set for you, and my father was just a pawn in it."
