The night shrouded the sky, like a devouring black hole.

Not long after Duan Zhixuan went out, it started to rain heavily.

After arriving at the Governor's Mansion, Duan Zhixuan did not stay long before leaving.

However, it can be seen from the relieved expression on his face when he left that he was very happy with his decision.

Of course, Duan Zhixuan's arrival did not affect Yang Fan's celebration.

The grand celebration banquet lasted for seven days.

Just when all the officials in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion were immersed in Yang Fan's joy of giving birth to Lin's son.

Chu Lai was not idle during this period.

Not only did he contact many Jiangnan nobles, but he also hooked up with the Dou family.

Dou Fengjie is a character who is determined to retaliate against others.

Ever since Yang Fan expelled him from the bidding meeting in front of so many nobles and merchants, he regarded it as a great shame and humiliation.

It would have been enough to just drive him out, but also put him in jail for several days.

If his family hadn't redeemed him, Dou Fengjie might still be in prison.

They were both consorts, but Yang Fan dared to treat him like this. Dou Fengjie lost all face and became the laughing stock of the entire Jiangnan.

This kind of hatred is simply outrageous!

Although his family asked him to tolerate it for the time being, with Dou Fengjie's violent temper, he felt that he couldn't bear it!

Why?

Yang Fan is the consort, and he is also the consort.

In terms of seniority, he is still Yang Fan’s elder!

Of course Dou Fengjie couldn't bear the tone of Yang Fan's refusal to give him face.

Of course, he also knew that Yang Fan was very capable.

Not only did he destroy Tubo, he also defeated the Jiangnan gentry coalition at Yuntai Mountain with a few hundred men, which is a great reputation.

But Dou Fengjie was not convinced.

In his opinion, if Lei Kunming hadn't led his tribe to rebel, Yang Fan would have been dead.

Who is this guy who controls Jiangnan by luck?

In this way, when Zhu Lai came to Dou Fengjie.

Coupled with the persuasion of eldest grandson Anye, the two of them hit it off.

Of course, Dou Fengjie was also very cautious.

With his many years of military connections and family background, he even contacted some government soldiers with the intention of jointly dealing with Yang Fan.

As for whether mobilizing government troops privately would be punished by the court, Dou Fengjie was not worried at all.

As long as Yang Fan can be killed, there are plenty of reasons to slap that guy on the head.

Besides, there are so many people who want Yang Fan dead now.

As long as he does it cleanly and leaves no flaws, no one will dare to say that he did it?

However, as Yang Fan is the governor of Jiangnan Province and has a navy, his military strength cannot be underestimated.

Dou Fengjie was arrogant, but he was not stupid either. He knew that it was impossible for the soldiers he had contacted to deal with Yang Fan alone.

However, fortunately, Zhu Lai also had many dead soldiers, plus some financial support from other Jiangnan noble families.

In Dou Fengjie's opinion, the chance of winning is at least 80%.

Especially after knowing that Duan Zhixuan also joined, Dou Fengjie became even more certain that Yang Fan would not escape this time.

Ever since, an undercurrent gradually brewed in the festive atmosphere of the Governor's Mansion.

Of course, there is a reason why everyone trusts Duan Zhixuan so much?

If we talk about hatred, Dou Fengjie’s incident is nothing!

Duan Zhixuan and Yang Fan have a bloody feud!

Both sons were abandoned by Yang Fan, leaving the Duan family with no heirs. How much hatred is this?

Not to mention that after Duan Zhixuan arrived in Jiangnan, he was completely ignored by Yang Fan. It was simply a stalemate!

Therefore, Duan Zhixuan's presence is indispensable in every plan of Zhu Lai and others.

After several days of plotting, everyone unanimously decided to take action against Yang Fan as soon as possible while the navy was escorting the caravan to sea.

Once the navy comes back, killing Yang Fan will be even harder than climbing to the sky.

In addition, after receiving various inside information from Duan Zhixuan.

Everyone decided to make a surprise attack.

As long as Yang Fan, the culprit, is killed, others will have nothing to fear.

As a result, an assassination plan was born.

The Metropolitan Governor is located in Huating County, which is now in a period of great development.

Laborers can be seen everywhere, and people come and go intensively.

All the personnel were easily mixed up and hid in Huating County.

Zhu Lai, Dou Fengjie and others were secretly directing the attack, hoping to wait until dark to sneak into the Governor's Mansion and kill him, making him unable to defend himself.

It’s a dark and windy murderous night!

Under the cover of Duan Zhixuan, Zhu Lai and Dou Fengjie each led hundreds of people to lurk near the Governor's Mansion.

Seeing the intensive coming and going of people from the Grand Governor, I still felt the joy of celebrating.

Zhu Lai and others were very excited.

The more people there are, the harder it is for someone to spot them.

Zhu Lai and Dou Fengjie looked at each other, and each led hundreds of men to quietly block all roads leading to the Grand Governor.

The night is getting deeper and the sky is getting darker!

The number of people traveling to and from the Metropolitan Government House also gradually decreased.

Hiding in a hidden alley with the cold wind blowing, the pampered Zhu Lai was really not used to it.

But when he thought that Yang Fan was about to be killed, the Zhu family would also become the leaders of Jiangnan.

Zhu Lai felt that everything was worth it.

Duan Zhixuan, who was watching all this in the distance, couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

These idiots didn't even know they had fallen into Yang Fan's trap.

It's really pitiful, sad, and even more deplorable!

At this time, he was even a little glad for his decision.

If he hadn't taken the initiative to surrender, he might still feel like they had the wisdom in their hands, right?

Thinking of Yang Fan's plan, Duan Zhixuan couldn't help but flash a wry smile in his eyes.

He knows very well that even if he is hostile to Yang Fan, his chance of revenge in this life is very small!

What's more, after tonight, there will no longer be any objections from Jiangnan.

From now on, who can threaten Yang Fan!

Even if he is an emperor, he must consider the consequences if he wants to touch Yang Fan.

Duan Zhixuan breathed a sigh of relief when he thought that he would never have a chance to repay his hatred.

If you can't get revenge, why isn't your Duan family lucky?

Thinking of this, Duan Zhixuan suddenly became enlightened.

All desire for power disappeared at this moment.

After taking a deep look at the direction where Zhu Lai and others were ambushing, Duan Zhixuan sighed slightly and walked towards his residence.

He no longer wants to get involved in these struggles!

Who lives and who dies depends on God’s will!

Time passed little by little, and Zhu Lai, who was hiding in the corner, was a little impatient.

Didn’t Yang Fan send guests out every day?

Why didn't anyone show up today?

Dou Fengjie on the other side also frowned.

This street is really too quiet.
