Even though the Great Sui was filled with discontent and was on the verge of collapse, Yang Guang still controlled an enormous amount of power in the Guanzhong region. Of the two most powerful sects and clans, the Jingzhao Alliance and Huashan Sect were completely under Yang Guang's control, and the other clans did not dare to disobey Yang Guang's orders.
While Yang Guang was gradually cleaning up the military forces of Guanzhong, he also handed over the control of the gangs of the Jianghu to Tong Guan.
Under his orders, other than the harem, all the other palaces were opened. Yang Guang made full use of his immense power and his deep understanding of social science after rebuilding his personality to build many organizations with strict systems and solid foundations. The most important among them was the Six Divisions, which were personally led by Yang Guang.
It was also much easier to control the army than he had expected. Although the Yuwen family, Dugu family, and other powerful families had deeply infiltrated the military, as long as they did not rebel, these officers would still have to listen to Yang Guang's orders.
Under such circumstances, using the demonic seeds to infiltrate and control the army was almost always successful.
At night, the sound of orderly footsteps could be heard on the bluestone official road of Chang 'an. This was the old site of Chang' an in the Han Dynasty. Because it was too dilapidated and small, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty built a new city on the southern slope of Longyuan in the southeast and named it Daxing. This place still used the ancient name Chang 'an. Most of the high-ranking officials and aristocratic families of the Great Sui lived in Daxing, and this place became the gathering place for all sorts of people.
Daxing City was controlled by Yang Guang's Zhao Alliance, and this place became the base of the Chang 'an Gang.
The Dark Sand Official Boots stepped on the bluestone path that hadn't been maintained for a long time, stirring up the puddles from last night. The footsteps were extremely light, showing that the owner of these boots had extraordinary lightness skills. Looking through the thin mist in the early morning, one could only see a row of ghost-like shadows.
The streets and alleys in Chang 'an were old and messy. People who got up early quietly closed their windows, not daring to make a sound. The muscular men of the Capital Zhao Alliance quietly stood at the entrance of the alleys. The entire city of Chang' an was controlled by the soldiers and the members of the Capital Zhao Alliance. Only the core area of the Chang 'an Gang was still under their control.
At the headquarters of the Chang 'an Gang, Fu Di, the Gang Leader, slapped the table furiously. "The Capital Zhao Alliance has gone too far! Relying on the support of Yang Guang, that muddle-headed ruler, he dares to bully us! The old city of Chang 'an is our territory. They took over by force just because they have the power of the army. This is intolerable! " He slammed his palm heavily on the desk, and with a sudden burst of palm energy, the mahogany desk was smashed into pieces.
Seeing Fu Di's anger, the core members of the sect couldn't help but shiver. They could clearly see that Fu Di's palm strength was contained. On the surface, the big table was only split into a few pieces, but in reality, the fibers of the mahogany were completely broken by this palm. If it hit a person …
Seeing that Fu Di's power had improved again, they quickly made up their minds and didn't dare to have any other thoughts.
The mahogany table was sent flying from the hall to the door. Even though it was dozens of steps away, the force was still as strong as a crossbow, with the power to break flesh and bones. However, before it could fly out of the door, it seemed to have fallen into an invisible net. It froze in mid-air and then fell to the ground.
"Who is it!?" Fu Di raised his head and roared.
A pair of black boots stepped into the great hall. Fu Di saw that the person who had come was wearing the clothes of a palace attendant. He was a middle-aged man who had maintained himself well. He had a fair face and no facial hair. Although he was a little old, his skin was like fine white jade due to his proficiency in internal martial arts. His most eye-catching feature was his pair of hands.
The joints were well-proportioned, and the nails were neatly trimmed. It was truly a pair of exquisite hands.
As soon as he opened his mouth, his voice was somewhat feminine. "How dare you, Fu Di. You dare to insult the current emperor." He slightly cupped his hands toward the direction of Daxing City to show his respect. His long and narrow eyes swept over the lobby with coldness. All the backbones of the Chang 'an Gang felt a chill on their backs, as if the cold scales of a poisonous snake slid across their skin.
"Who are you?" Fu Di snapped, "How dare you break into our Chang 'an Faction's territory!"
"The whole world belongs to the emperor. There is no place in the world that our Chamberlain Province dare not break into. I am Cao Zhengchun, the Chamberlain Province's Chamberlain. Oh! Above the Emperor's Twelve Guards, His Majesty has set up the East Faction and the West Faction to supervise the illegal gangs in the world.
"I am the Qianhu in charge of the East Faction. By the order of Eunuch Tong Guan, the eunuch of the East Faction and the Governor of the Imperial Envoy, I am here to send your whole family to the West."
Cao Huachun smiled, but his words were full of killing intent, which made people shudder.
Fu Di's beard rose and he snapped, "How dare you! Our Chang 'an Faction follows the invitation of the Dugu Organization. How dare you, a mere eunuch, kill the family of a minister? The Supreme Judiciary is the law of the imperial court. Who do you think you are? "
"I only know the emperor, but I don't know what the Supreme Judiciary is." Cao Huachun calmly looked at Fu Di, who had gathered his Genuine Qi and was ready to fight. He chuckled and said, "You slandered His Majesty, and that's enough to sentence you to death."
Seeing that Fu Di still wanted to say something, Cao Huachun, who had already lost his patience, slowly withdrew his hands and turned into the lobby like a phantom. Fu Di raised his palms, and his Genuine Qi surged like thunder. He waved his sleeves, and under the strong wind and clouds, a pair of iron palms appeared and disappeared, like a flood dragon coming out of the sea.
Cao Huachun's eyes were half open and half closed. A light flashed on his fingertips. Sensing the Qi, it broke Fu Di's fist wind and drilled into his right eye.
Fu Di's body brushed past Cao Huachun and rushed out of the lobby. One step, two steps, three steps, and finally he stopped. Under the gaze of the backbone of the Chang 'an Faction, he knelt heavily on the stone floor. A line of blood flowed down from his right eye, making his horrified face look like a ghost. Cao Huachun glanced at the silver needle nailed in the main hall, smiled coldly, and turned to leave the lobby.
Before leaving, he made a gesture to the team of East Chang 'an Faction members who followed him. They stood at the door of the headquarters of the Chang' an Faction and listened to the sound of the blood cutting through the wind.
The knife light of the Chang 'an Faction appeared, like frost and silk, with a blood-red luster.
The people nearby could only hear the cries of pain, begging for mercy, pain, struggle before death, and angry roars from the courtyard. However, the sounds gradually disappeared in the time it took to drink a cup of tea. In the mist of dawn, the city of Chang 'an returned to its former peace.
Liu Sangqin, the Minister General of the Left, was about to go to the court when he heard the screams of his family outside the door.
"General, General!" The family guarding the door even forgot the rules and rushed into the inner hall in horror. Liu Sangqin scolded, "What are you panicking about? Even if the sky falls, your master will be there. "
"You don't have to scold me, Lord Liu. Yu Huatian of the West Chang heard that Lord Liu colluded with the Yuwen family and refused to obey the emperor's summons. So I came to ask Lord Liu to come with me."
