As soon as Fang Yuan and a team of brocade guards came out of the outer courtyard of the Canglang Pavilion, a beggar-like man sneaked over.

Fang Yuan was quite disappointed when he saw that it was not a woman, so he led the man into the Canglang Pavilion.

The beggar cautiously looked around, and then he came to Fang Yuan, lowered his voice and said, "Lord Governor, I am Zhang Er, a miscellaneous servant of the Jinyi Guard, and I have news from the Zhou family that I want to sell to you, but I have one condition. ”

How could Fang Yuan be led by the nose by the person who suddenly came to the door? pretended to be careless and said, "Fourth, give him two taels of silver." ”

As soon as Zhang Er saw that he was going to give the silver, he shook his hand again and again and said, "I have true news, the Zhou family is in my house at this time, and he is not here to cheat the silver." ”

No wonder the Zhou family disappeared, it turned out that he was taken home by this Zhang Er.

Fang Yuan was secretly overjoyed, squinted at him and said, "Since you already knew the whereabouts of the Zhou family, why didn't you come to report me earlier?" ”

Zhang Er's eyes flashed with tears, and he whimpered, "Lord Governor, because you killed Lexing and them, how can I trust you?" I'm not greedy for money, Captain Le is kind to me, and I have to protect his family. ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, he pushed Le Xing's death on Fang Yuan's head, and Qin Zhan shouted angrily, "Ridiculous! When Lexing and the others were killed, the governor had not yet arrived in Suzhou Mansion, so how could the governor kill them? ”

Fang Yuan stopped Qin Zhan's angry shouting and said lightly, "Say it!" What does this have to do with me? ”

Zhang Er wiped away his tears and said, "Without further ado, let's talk about it when we get back the Zhou family and a pair of children!" Can the Governor promise me to ensure the safety of the Zhou family and her children? ”

Fang Yuan was very moved by Gao Fengliangjie, who was the head of his righteous words, nodded the table, and said slowly, "I promise you that after this incident, I will take the Zhou family to Canglang Pavilion to settle down and raise her two children to adulthood!" ”

Zhang Er got his promise, calmed down a little, and said in a low voice, "Lord Governor, you lead the Jinyi Guard, we will go to pick up the Zhou family together, and I will truthfully inform the Jinyi Guard of what happened." ”

Fang Yuan ordered Qin Zhan to lead two hundred brocade guards, fully armed, and rushed towards Zhang Er's residence.

Along the way, Zhang Er also told everything that happened before and after the burning of Jinyiwei's premises.

Lexing and the other five are all hereditary Jinyi Wei families, because they feel that the land annexation situation in the entire Suzhou Prefecture has become serious to the point of no return. Five years ago, five young Jinyiwei, who had a warm heart and a sense of mission, decided to secretly investigate the information on the annexation of land by the gentry and wealthy merchants of Suzhou Prefecture, hoping to report to the imperial court one day, attract the attention of the imperial court, and curb it.

In the past five years, all the investigation work has been carried out secretly, and the information on the land annexation has been successfully completed.

Because the last time Fang Yuan came to Suzhou Mansion, he sent someone to Jinyiwei's office to ask for Qian Qianyi's land information, and the five people saw that Fang Yuan was sent by the imperial court, so they truthfully informed the information collected from Qian Qianyi. Who knew that Fang Yuan exposed the secret that Jin Yiwei had already mastered Qian Qianyi's land information in front of Liu Ruye, and finally punished Qian Qianyi without pain and left Suzhou Mansion.

Fang Yuan's commotion aroused the vigilance of Qian Qianyi and others. Later, the gentry led by Qian Qianyi and the wealthy merchants led by the Weng family of the Dongting Merchant Gang negotiated with Lexing and others many times, and offered 1,000 taels of silver to ask Lexing and the other five to destroy the land annexation information from this investigation.

Le Xing and the others perfunctory Qian Qianyi and the others, and on the other hand, spent several months copying five copies of this information and handed it over to the families of the five people to keep one copy each.

Seeing that Fang Yuan had already arrived in Yangzhou Mansion and was about to arrive in Suzhou Mansion in a few days, Qian Qianyi and other gentry and wealthy merchants could no longer sit still, so under the pretext of the last negotiation, they invited Le Xing and the other five to the Jinyiwei premises, and sent assassins to kill five people, and also destroyed the Manmen of four people, and destroyed four of the backup land annexation information.

Fortunately, Zhang Er, a miscellaneous servant, was not on the assassin list, and he was going to the toilet at the time and escaped by jumping into the dung pit. After Zhang Er escaped from the manure pit, he immediately went to Lexing's house to pick up Lexing's wife Zhou, and brought him back to his hut to hide.

These days, the Weng family of the Dongting Merchant Gang has sent countless eyeliners, just to catch the only fish that has slipped through the net, and the most important thing is to find out the only remaining backup of land annexation information.

Zhang Er racked his brains for how to protect the safety of the Zhou family and a pair of children, and he was as anxious as ants on a hot pot. Fortunately, Fang Yuan's arrival also gave the five brocade guards a public mourning, and the dojo attracted his attention.

But out of caution and the other party's scruples, Zhang Er still endured it and didn't come to see him. Later, when I saw Fang Yuan throwing money wantonly to see the Zhou family, I felt Fang Yuan's full sincerity. After discussing with the Zhou family, he decided to take the risk of believing Fang Yuan once and came to report the news.

Fang Yuan listened to Zhang Er's account, and remorse and guilt welled up in his heart.

It turned out that Zhang Er's blame was not false at all, and Lexing and the other five Jinyi guards really died due to their own negligence. At that time, how did Fang Yuan know that the confidential information about Qian Qianyi's land situation was investigated by Lexing and others at the risk of their lives, and he actually exposed such confidential information in front of Liu Ruis on impulse, which finally brought disaster to Lexing and others.

Fang Yuan clenched his fists tightly, his eyes flashing with tears, "It was my carelessness and a big mistake, I can't help but enjoy them!" ”

Zhang Er sighed and said, "The deceased is gone, and they haven't blamed the governor for it." ”

Everyone arrived at Zhang Er's small black room and saw the Zhou family in the house, Fang Yuan didn't want to delay too much, so as not to have too many dreams at night, so he immediately ordered Jinyiwei to take the Zhou family, her pair of children, and the most important piece of land annexation information, and directly brought it back to Canglang Pavilion.

The Zhou clan knelt in front of Fang Yuan and handed over a tightly wrapped package, "Governor Fang, these are the land information you want. ”

Fang Yuan opened the package, sure enough, it was a thick stack of land books, and he opened it briefly, each page was a land information owned by a gentry or a wealthy merchant, and the location of the land, the number of acres, was clear and clear at a glance.

The last page is a few lines of bloody letters, 'I am a hot-blooded man, but I have no choice but to be shady, I hope that the day will be clear, and I will be able to return the sky.' ’

This land information condenses the blood and sweat of five hot-blooded young people, as well as their longing for the imperial court, but they don't know that if it weren't for Fang Yuan's arrival, their efforts like mantis arms would be in vain. The Ming Dynasty will fall in one or two years, and Jiangnan will fall in a year.

Fang Yuan's tears couldn't help but fall on the land book again.

Zhou knelt on the ground and hugged Fang Yuan's thigh and said, "Governor Fang, this blood letter is from my husband, and he wants me to hand it over to the officials sent by the imperial court to uphold justice!" ”

Fang Yuan hurriedly helped her up and said, "The hero's widow, I only have admiration, in the future, you and Zhang Er will stay in Canglang Pavilion to work, and I will raise a pair of children in Lexing." ”

Zhou cried and said, "Governor Fang, you must be the master of your husband, he died so miserably!" ”

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice, "Qian Qianyi and Weng Yang are two brutes! We swore to heaven that we would slaughter you two miscellaneous pieces to pay tribute to the spirits of Lexing and others. ”

Fang Yuan ordered Xiao Yuan to arrange for the Zhou family to take care of a pair of children in Dongyuan, and only did some simple needlework. Zhang Er was arranged in the inner courtyard to be a manservant patrolling the courtyard.

He settled the two of them, looked at the vermilion gate in the inner courtyard of Canglang Pavilion with eight energy-saving lamps, and his eyes shot a chilling cold light, with this land annexation information, the time to find Qian Qianyi to settle the general account has finally arrived.

This time, he has both evidence of Qian Qianyi's collusion with Liangshan Liukou to attack the governor and the prince, Qian Qianyi's confession of buying murder and assassination, and the real evidence of the arrears of Tian Fu, look at how Qian Qianyi, an old man, can get away with it!

Fang Yuan's murderous knife has already been unsheathed, and this time he will take Qian Qianyi, the leader of the Donglin Party, to sacrifice the flag, which will make the Donglin Party people in the four mansions tremble completely under his feet!
