At this time, Liu Guangshi stood in front of King Jian Zhang Gou in a regular manner. This was the most respectful time he had come to Daming Mansion to pay homage to King Jian.

He wanted to ask King Jian to order more than 30,000 Tianxiong soldiers in the city to participate in the fight against the rebellion.

"You have more than 30,000 people but you can't take those people?" King Jian asked in surprise.

He had known that Liu Guangshi was a bucket of money, but he didn't expect that he would be like this.

What can you do with such a person in the future?

"Half of the 30,000 people are defending on the city wall to prevent them from escaping from the city. Only more than 10,000 people can fight them." Liu Guangshi replied.

"Can more than 10,000 people not beat a thousand people?" King Jian asked in surprise.

"These people are all bandits, and they all fight against ten." Liu Guangshi replied with shame.

"I heard you were arresting people with my order?" King Jian Zhang Gou asked dissatisfiedly.

Liu Guangshi did this just for the sake of the salt merchants' wealth, but he let himself take the blame for his unkindness and unrighteousness!

"I received a secret report and knew that they were about to reprimand the emperor. I hurriedly used his name as his highness." Liu Guangshi argued.

King Jian gritted his teeth and kept himself calm. If he had power now, he would definitely lead someone to push Liu Guangshi out and cut him off.

There is no way, now he is completely supported by people like Liu Guangshi.

First, there was a burst of footsteps outside, and then a louder cry.

"King Jian, you must make the decision for the old minister!"

"Your Highness, the old minister's descendants have all let the damn salt merchants take them as hostages. You must find a way to rescue them!"

Old voices outside kept calling for King Jian.

"What happened?" King Jian asked loudly.

A guard came in and reported: "Some retired officials in Daming Mansion said that their home had been occupied by salt merchants and lit up. The younger generations in the family were also arrested and served as hostages. They wanted King Jian to make the decision for them."

"Damn it!" King Jian Zhang Gou said hatefully. He did not expect these salt merchants to make such a big noise.

"Your Highness, let the Tianxiong Army also send an encirclement and suppress them. Otherwise, the Daming Mansion will completely disrupt them." Liu Guangshi said from the side.

More than a dozen old men broke in despite the obstacles and happened to hear what Liu Guangshi said.

They actually abandoned the dignity of the officials of the Great Chu State and rushed up to catch and beat Liu Guangshi. Four or five old men hit Liu Guangshi with crutches in their hands.

"It's all good things that you, a greedy man, caused!"

"Encircle and suppress, encircle and suppress! What should I do if my children and grandchildren? Do you want me to lose my son and grandchildren?"

"This long-legged general, General Mituo knew that he was in a vain! Why don't you deal with the black bone man with the ability?"

...

More than a dozen old men cursed and beaten them, making General Liu feel embarrassed. He dared not fight back. If he offended all the people with foundation and connections in Daming Mansion, he would have no way to make a fuss in the future.

King Jian Zhang Gou stood aside and watched quietly. As for the lives of his children and grandchildren, these old guys no longer put the country and the court's dignity first. It seemed that they were planning to compromise with the group of rebels.

A dozen old men finally got tired. Liu Guangshi was not seriously injured. He was just a little bruised and swollen.

At this moment, the guards came in and reported: "Former Minister of Revenue, Lord Han, has an urgent matter to report to His Highness."

"It seems that Lord Han is here to spread the thieves' message. Our house was lit by the thieves, leaving only the house of Lord Han's family in the middle. Now those thieves live in it." An old man said constantly.

"Please come in quickly." Zhang Gou also wanted to know what other salt merchants would have to ask at this time.

After a while, Han Xianxue walked in quickly and said to Zhang Gou: "Your Highness, those salt merchants asked me to come here to say a few words to Your Highness."

"Just say anything," Zhang Gou replied.

"They said they all knew that this was not what Your Highness meant. So they did not come to attack Zeng's Mansion. Since Daming Mansion could not stay, they wanted to leave the city and leave here. They were caught by General Liu and had to return the property to them. The property must be returned in full, otherwise they would turn the Daming Mansion upside down!" Han Xianxue said.

This is a naked threat.

"I can't agree to them! If I agree to their request, where is the face of Your Highness?" Liu Guangshi said hurriedly.

Of course he could not agree. The fat he ate must not be spit out. Not only million taels of gold and silver, but there were several beautiful women in the salt merchants, Liu Guangshi, who planned to receive them at his home.

Zhang Gou also felt embarrassed. If he agreed to the request of these salt merchants, it would be like slapping himself in the mouth. His Highness, the dignified King of the Great Chu State, was threatened and then bowed his head and gave in.

More importantly, he cannot offend Liu Guangshi, a general who holds heavy troops. Whoever controls military power will be able to take that position in the end.

But if he doesn't agree, he will immediately offend these old ministers in front of him.

In the following hour, no matter how Han Xianxue and the old ministers begged, Zhang Gou did not agree to open the city gate and let the salt merchants go. It was even more impossible for Liu Guangshi to spit out the salt merchants' property he had stolen for himself.

Han Xianxue walked out of Zeng's mansion with a desperate mood. You can see the fire soaring into the sky far away.

Han Xianxue didn't hate Gu Erye and others in his heart. He had to jump over the wall if he was anxious, let alone people!

He hated Liu Guangshi, a long-legged general who was a good deal of his enemies, was very fucked by the first-class general.

"Is it great to have soldiers in your hands? Believe it or not, I will let everything you have to ashes immediately!" Han Xianxue said hatefully.

Liu Guangshi's more than 10,000 soldiers surrounded the Han Mansion through the fire. Now they have no intention of attacking.

Han Xianxue passed through the encirclement and returned to his home.

"His Highness Jian is not going to let you go, what are your plans?" Han Xianxue said.

"There is so much food in your family. We can't finish it if we eat here for ten days and half a month. At worst, we can just waste it." Gu Erye replied indifferently.

"I want to talk to you alone." After Han Xianxue finished speaking, he walked straight to the study.

Mr. Gu was stunned for a moment and then stood up and followed Han Xianxue behind.

Anyway, everyone in the Han Mansion has been taken into custody now. Mr. Gu is not worried about any danger.

Han Xianxue walked into the study and picked up a pen and started painting on rice paper. Gu Erye stood by and watched quietly.

Han Xianxue finished drawing soon. He pointed to the paper and whispered: "Whether you can go out depends on Liu Guangshi's attitude. Now whoever has soldiers is the uncle. This is the Han Mansion, and this is the house after Liu Guangshi arrived at Daming Mansion. Do you understand?"

Gu Erye nodded with his eyes.
