Chapter 349 Confiscating the family and exterminating the clan
"Don't dare to kill you?"
Chu Ning looked at the timid Huangfu Gao, with a hint of amusement on his face: "It seems that you still think that I am afraid of your Huangfu family!"
As he spoke, Chu Ning waved his hand to signal Ran Ming to wait a moment before taking action.
"In this case, I will let you be a wise ghost!"
Chu Ning walked to the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, sat in the seat that originally belonged to Ling Haoran, the Minister of Justice, and said calmly:
“Tonight, I will first use the common people to attract your attention, then let Minister Ling bring you here, and take the opportunity to destroy the Chen family, Zhou family, Ming family and Li family!
However, simply destroying these four families will not be enough to intimidate the other aristocratic families. Only when your, the number one family in the Great Chu, is destroyed, will the other families completely surrender.
Therefore, your Huangfu family must be destroyed tonight!"
As soon as these words came out, Huangfu Gao's face suddenly turned pale: "You... you killed my father and me, it's not enough, you also want to wipe out my Huangfu family?"
Chu Ning laughed and gave a thumbs up: "As expected of you, Patriarch Huangfu. You understood my intention in just a few words!
That’s right, I invited them here because I don’t want you to take charge of the situation in the Huangfu family. At this moment, my troops are surrounding and killing the Huangfu family!”
Huangfu Yang was immediately furious: "Damn it, how dare you be so bold and reckless, aren't you afraid of His Majesty's punishment!"
"Punishment?"
Chu Ning had a playful look on his face: "If I was afraid of punishment, I wouldn't have made such a big move. If I was really afraid, I wouldn't dare to take action against your Huangfu family, let alone the four major families."
As he spoke, Chu Ning looked at the sky outside and chuckled, "It's getting late, you two can go on your journey without worries."
Ran Ming chuckled, raised the sword in his hand, and was about to kill the two men.
"and many more!"
Huangfu Gao knew that he had no way to escape tonight, but he was still unwilling to give in. He said in a deep voice: "Before you die, can you let me know the situation in the mansion?"
Ran Ming glared and said, "You old man, you are still so troublesome when you are about to die."
As he spoke, the sword in his hand was about to fall.
But Chu Ning chuckled and said, "Well, I will fulfill your last wish in consideration of your Huangfu family's contributions to the Great Chu."
Judging from the time, the battle of the Huangfu family should be over. With the combat effectiveness of the White Horse Cavalry, it won't take much time to destroy a mere family.
Although Ran Ming was somewhat unwilling, he did not dare to go against Chu Ning's wishes, so he had to block the lobby door with a knife, fearing that the duck he had caught would fly away.
Fortunately, he didn't have to wait long before a cavalryman came to report: "Your Highness, the King of Chu, all the 500 members of the Huangfu family were killed without a single one!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Huangfu father and son trembled all over, and Huangfu Gao's eyes turned black. He could no longer hold on and fell backwards.
"Father, father!" Huangfu Yang hurriedly supported his father, his face full of panic.
Chu Ning grinned: "Okay, you have got the answer you want, you can get going!"
This time, Ran Ming did not give Huangfu Yang a chance to speak. He chopped him down with a knife, and Huangfu Yang's head flew up, with blood splattering out.
He swung his knife back and chopped Huangfu Gao's neck. An old head flew away, and he closed his eyes as if he couldn't bear to witness the demise of the Huangfu family.
At this point, Huangfu father and son were killed, and the five major aristocratic families were destroyed!
Ling Haoran, who was standing by, twitched his mouth, secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said to himself, "That was a close call."
Fortunately, the Ling family switched sides, otherwise the Ling family would have been among the noble families that would have been wiped out tonight.
There is a story behind why the King of Chu destroyed these five aristocratic families. The Huangfu family was the number one family, and the other four aristocratic families were the most powerful families besides the Huangfu family.
If these leaders are eliminated, the remaining aristocratic families will surely be terrified and will not dare to become enemies with the King of Chu.
This move is so clever!
But I didn’t expect that the Ling family and I would become knives in the hands of the King of Chu and be used so clearly.
I don’t know how the prince would express his gratitude if he knew about this.
After all, I am the prince's father-in-law, but now I am helping the King of Chu.
While thinking, Chu Ning stood up and walked to Ling Haoran, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Master Ling did a good job tonight!"
Ling Haoran sighed: "Why didn't His Royal Highness the King of Chu tell me the plan in advance?"
"Why should I tell you in advance?"
Chu Ning shrugged: "Such a top-secret matter, if you inform the prince, wouldn't my efforts be in vain?"
Sure enough, the King of Chu still didn't trust him.
Now that I have helped the King of Chu deal with the aristocratic families, I am still not trusted and am in a difficult situation!
Ling Haoran sighed in his heart, but he could do nothing about it, so he could only shake his head and smile bitterly: "Your Majesty, although you killed the five great families in one night, it can shock other families, but these people will not give up.
They will definitely go to His Majesty to complain. Your Highness, Prince Chu, you should think of a response plan as soon as possible. His Majesty will definitely punish you in order to give an explanation to the noble families. "
"Punishment?"
Chu Ning grinned and looked at Ling Haoran deeply: "Lord Ling is worried that this matter will implicate you and the Ling family, right?
Don't worry. Your Ling family has made great contributions this time. I will not push the responsibility onto you. I will take full responsibility for this matter.
As for the complaints from the aristocratic families, haha, I am not worried. They were the ones who sent people to burn down the palace first, and I have the confessions of the people who were arrested in my hands."
Ling Haoran was silent.
It turns out that the King of Chu was well prepared!
Maybe the King of Chu deliberately allowed the burning of the palace, otherwise, with the fighting effectiveness of the guards of the Palace of Chu, how could those people succeed.
Now that the King of Chu has the confession of the arsonist, Your Majesty must think carefully even if he wants to punish him.
Thinking of this, Ling Haoran bowed and saluted: "Since His Royal Highness the King of Chu has made preparations, I will not say any more."
Chu Ning nodded slightly: "There is one more thing I need to trouble you with, Lord Ling. There are too many bodies of the five wealthy families that were destroyed. Please ask the officials of the Ministry of Justice to go and clean up the bodies."
Ling Haoran's mouth twitched.
You killed the person, and you let the officials from the Ministry of Justice clean up the body?
Who can I talk to to explain this?
Forget it, we are just grasshoppers in the same boat. It’s just cleaning up the corpses, not killing anyone. I guess no one will say much.
Besides, the Ministry of Justice is in charge of the Kyoto City case. Now that so many people have died, the Ministry of Justice is also responsible for cleaning up the bodies.
"I will send someone to clean up the bodies right away!"
After getting a satisfactory answer, Chu Ning left the Ministry of Justice with a big laugh.
And at this moment, in the palace.
The emperor, who was awakened by the shadow guard, looked unhappy: "Didn't I tell you not to disturb me tonight?"
The shadow guard looked terrified and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened. His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu has brought people to kill and destroy the Huangfu family, the Chen family, the Zhou family, the Ming family, and the Li family."
The emperor was stunned, thinking he had heard wrongly: "What did you say? Say it again!"
The shadow guard quickly recounted what happened tonight.
The emperor was furious after hearing this: "What do you shadow guards do for a living? Why didn't you stop it when it happened?"
The shadow guard said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, I transferred everyone to the Huangfu family tonight just in case, but I didn't expect His Royal Highness the King of Chu to take the opportunity to destroy another family.
I received the news and rushed to the four great families, but His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu took his men to the Huangfu family. "
He took advantage of the time difference and directly wiped out the five major families.
The emperor's face was gloomy: "The King of Chu has taken this news into account. This is troublesome. The five great families have been destroyed, and the other families will definitely not let it go."
Just as he finished speaking, Zhao Ming's voice came from outside the palace: "Your Majesty, all the heads of the noble families kneel down outside the palace and ask for an audience."
