In this scuffle, more than half of the thirty guards brought by Fang Ling'an were injured, and five or six were seriously injured, lying in a row on the pit, some injured legs, some were hit by arrows in the chest, some were stabbed in the arms, and some were slashed in the back.

Murong Mian inspected their injuries one by one, comforted them a few words, and then went to the next room.

There was only one Fang Ling'an living in the next room, he had colored clothes on his arms and waist, but the injury was not serious, he put Jin Chuangyao and wrapped it with a strip of cloth, and it was no big deal.

Seeing Murong Mian coming in, he hurriedly stood up and saluted, "The subordinates are incompetent, they didn't protect the princess, please ask the prince to surrender." ”

"Get up," Murong Mian walked to the edge of the chair and sat down, "It's not your fault for this, the other party is obviously prepared." Do you have any clues? ”

Fang Ling'an has been pondering this matter, because this matter is really strange.

"According to the opinion of his subordinates, the other party came prepared, could it be that there was a problem with the green lotus girl, otherwise the princess would leave the house temporarily, and outsiders would not know."

"The king has asked, the matter of the green lotus family was told to the princess by Crimson, according to this, it should be Crimson and Green Lotus who colluded to get the princess out of the house, and then the thief arranged everything and took her life."

"This ......" Fang Ling'an hesitated, he could trust Crimson's character, if it was only Green Lotus, he didn't dare to guarantee it, but when it came to Crimson, it would be a bit difficult to argue.

Murong Mian leaned back in his chair and tapped his knees with his slender fingers, "They have been with this king for a long time, they are reliable people, this time it may just be a coincidence, who is the other party, do you know?" ”

"There are not many guards in Lin'an City, the other party should know who we are, know that they dare to poison us, and they should be the ones who are against the prince."

Murong Mian's eyes narrowed, "You mean Prime Minister Bai?" ”

"My subordinates think that anyone who meets this condition is suspicious."

"In the past, Madame Bai always wanted to take the princess's life, do you think it would be Madame Bai's hand?"

"Those black-clothed people have a lot of training, all of them are practitioners, and they are clearly an organization, and their subordinates think that it is difficult for a woman to do this job."

Murong Mian pondered for a moment, "The imperial court prohibits officials from raising warrior soldiers, even if Prime Minister Bai raises these men in black, he will never let them show up easily, and he is still guilty of it in my hands, didn't he lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot?" ”

"What the prince said is that Prime Minister Bai has always been cunning, and he will never expose himself like this, it shouldn't be him." Fang Ling'an sighed, walked to the window and looked out, and suddenly remembered, "Lord Wang, I heard that Ma Cui'er is good with a powerful bully in the city, could it be someone under that bully?" ”

"It's possible," Murong Mian stood up, "go and check, who is Ma Cui'er's friend?" ”

"Yes," Fang Ling'an saluted with one hand, "and his subordinates immediately sent someone to inquire." ”

Murong Mian stood up and glanced at the strip of cloth on his arm, "Forget it, let Ning Jiu do it, you can rest for a while." ”

It's not difficult to investigate this matter, just arrest Ma Cui'er and interrogate her, but the strange thing is that when Ning Jiu turned back to find Ma Cui'er, the courtyard was still a mess, and Ma's mother and daughter were nowhere to be found. With such a fast hand and foot, the people behind the scenes must not be simple.

However, things were so coincidental that Ning Jiu didn't find Ma Cui'er, so he left someone to squat in the yard, and at night, he caught Ma Laoliu, a gambler who had not returned for a few days.

Ma Lao Liu is Ma Cuier's father, rotten gambling, addiction, eating and sleeping in the casino, as if it was his own home, if he didn't lose so much that his body jingled and was thrown out by the guys in the casino, he wouldn't have come home.

Ma Lao Liu is a soft egg, Ning Jiu scares and scares casually, he pours beans into a bamboo tube, which is called pouring a clean one.

It turned out that Ma Cuier's good friend was none other than Prime Minister Bai's brother-in-law Li Gang.

He suffered a loss at the hands of the prince of Chu last time, and after thinking about it in every possible way, he felt that he should also recruit troops and raise a group of warriors by his side in order to compete with the prince of Chu. Of course, the bright ones can't come, they can only come to the dark ones, and he's been waiting for an opportunity.

When he knew that Ma Cuier was pregnant, he asked her to find an honest man to marry and give the child a name, that man was naturally what he had looked for early in the morning, that was Lu He's brother, that was a temperamental man, and he couldn't beat a stuffy fart with three sticks. Because of this, I can't please my daughter-in-law when I'm old. He asked people to go to the matchmaker, how could the Green Lotus family be unwilling, and they came to meet the girl, and they were very satisfied, so they passed the bride price, chose the date, and prepared to get married on a certain day. He revealed the matter a little more, so that the Green Lotus family heard the rumors, of course such a daughter-in-law could not be married, so there was a conflict.

He learned from Yang Liniang that Green Lotus was the maid of the Chu Palace, and he also knew that Bai Qianfan had a good relationship with Green Lotus, and if such a thing happened, of course Green Lotus didn't dare to ask for Mo Rongmian, so he could only ask Bai Qianfan, as long as Bai Qianfan came forward, his plan would be successful. It's just that he didn't expect Bai Qianfan to bring so many pro-guards with him, and it took him a little trouble, and he didn't expect that the pro-guards who were blocked in the alley still ran out, as soon as the prince of Chu came, the situation was out of his control, he hid in the shadows, waited for the people of the prince of Chu to leave, and quickly hid the mother and daughter of the Ma family. As long as you can't find out that he did it, you won't be afraid. didn't think that the fault of things was on that gambler father.

In the past, the emperor always turned a blind eye to Li Gang's affairs, which was nothing more than a penalty of silver, or a symbolic hit of a few boards to finish the matter. But this time it's different, keeping a samurai privately is a taboo for the emperor.

Emperor Long Yan was furious, and personally issued a holy decree to arrest Li Gang, and later considered that there were black-clothed warriors by his side, so he was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, so he added another one and killed him on the spot.

When Prime Minister Bai heard this holy decree, he knew that he was powerless, because he was not disciplined effectively, he was also implicated, and was suspended at home, and then made a decision after the matter was over, he wanted to enter the palace to face the saint, but the guards stopped him outside the noon gate, he knew that this was the emperor did not want to see him. The emperor has always been mild-mannered, but this time he was furious, and he had no choice but to return home.

When Mrs. Bai heard the news, she was so frightened that she rushed from the Buddha hall to his room, knelt in front of him with a wailing voice, and begged him to save her younger brother's life. He looked up to the sky and sighed, shaking his head silently.

Because Li Gang had no official position, although his relatives were implicated, the crime was not to death, and Li Gang's father Li Dehai's Zhengerpin Rite Department waiter was also dismissed from his post and moved his family back to his hometown in the countryside.

All of Li Gang's property was confiscated, his wives and concubines were scattered, only the young children followed their grandparents back to the countryside, and the once prominent Shilang's Mansion changed drastically overnight, the gate was closed, and the seal of the golden pen and seal was affixed.

Li Gang took Ma's mother and daughter and the black-clothed warrior to hide in the mountains, Ma's mother and daughter couldn't suffer, and secretly went down the mountain to the village to find food, and were arrested by the officers and soldiers under the mountain. Zhou Ziming led the Iron Banner Battalion up the mountain, captured Li Gang in one fell swoop, and killed him on the spot, but the black-clothed warriors did not catch them all, and took advantage of the favorable terrain and ran a few.

At this point, the uproarious private samurai case has officially come to an end.
