Chapter 209: The wall fell down and everyone pushed it

The Heavenly Prison of the Capital City

A few days later, news came from the prison that Concubine Ying committed suicide in fear of sin.

Concubine Ying's body was lying alone on the ground, and when the jailer found her, she had been cold and out of breath for a long time.

Her lips were purple and the corners of her mouth were bloodied, and she didn't look like she was a normal death.

There was still purple poison on a broken porcelain bowl on the ground, and several dead rats lay motionless on the ground.

Before she died, Concubine Ying calmly took the poison rewarded by the emperor and drank it all in one gulp.

Her eyes stared at Zeng Qingfeng and said the last sentence: "I have confessed everything that should be explained, and you promised me that you can do it, otherwise I won't let you go."

Zeng Qingfeng said calmly: "The emperor intends to let go of the innocent King Gongren, after all, they are half-brothers, but he will be demoted to a commoner and disappear from now on."

Concubine Ying smiled indifferently: "As long as he can live, I am already content."

"Let's go on the road with peace of mind!" Zeng Qingfeng saluted slightly, and finally walked away without looking back.

After another three days, King Kyohito, who was locked in the prison, was secretly sent out of the prison in the name of violent death, and his whereabouts have not been known since.

As the saying goes, the tree falls and the sun scatters, and the wall falls and everyone pushes it.

After Ding Dong was arrested, one after another unjust cases automatically rose to the surface of the water like bubbles, and the originally calm water suddenly became lively.

There are 108 charges against each of them, and the evidence is conclusive, and there is no room for sophistry.

"Ding Dong, what else do you have to say?" Zeng Qingfeng asked coldly.

Ding Dong was wearing a prison uniform, and the old dragon Zhong dragged the disabled sick leg and sighed: "No."

Zeng Qingfeng opened his mouth and induced: "Ding Dong, some of your charges were made by your cousin Concubine Ying and Pan, some were reported by the subordinates who betrayed you, and some were confirmed from the correspondence found."

Ding Dong sighed sadly: "The wall is down and everyone pushes it, and now I only want to die."

"You can also help us do some things, such as confessing Fan Dingtian's crimes. Although at present, the crime of treason he committed is enough to lose his head, but there are unjust debtors and owners, and some things always have to be cleared up. Zeng Qingfeng said.

Ding Dong suddenly laughed and said: "If I have one hundred and eight crimes, then more than half of them have traces of Fan Dingtian's involvement. Without him, how could I have controlled the government for so many years? ”

Ding Dong sighed: "I really underestimated him today, I originally thought that he would be willing to be a puppet emperor like his father, but I didn't know that everything was an illusion." He deliberately put on the appearance of a gentleman who indulges in the beauty of the harem and only cares about eating, drinking and having fun, it turns out that it is all to paralyze us. I guess he's been thinking about getting rid of us since he came to the throne. ”

Zeng Qingfeng said: "You are a pedantic and sour person, with mediocre qualifications, but you have to learn from Cao Cao to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, can you not fail?" I advise you to explain everything clearly as soon as possible, so as not to suffer a desolate end for yourself. ”

"Do I have any other choice? What do you want to know? I'll tell you all. ”

"Count you as acquaintances! The rest of me

Without further ado, tell me everything you know about Black Hole Villa. ”

"Black Hole Mountain Villa looks like an ordinary mountain villa on the surface, but in fact he is Fan Dingtian's secret base, the underground extends in all directions, like a labyrinth, and the terrain is extremely complex............"

After a few hours of talking, Zeng Qingfeng finally straightened his chest and walked out.

The next action seems to be difficult, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger, even if it is Longtan, he has to destroy it.

This is what he once promised Xiuxiu, and he will definitely avenge Grandpa Pei. He had to do his best, both in public and private.

Yuncheng is at the gate of a dense forest villa

Mrs. Weng, who had been tired for several days, was already a little overwhelmed.

Mother He asked puzzledly, "What happened to the old lady?" Why did you want us to go out of Beijing overnight? ”

Old Madam Weng sighed and said, "When have I ever asked about him?" But I have an ominous premonition, and somehow I've been restless these days. ”

......After the carriage stopped, Fan Jian opened the curtain and said, "Mother, we are here, let's come down."

Mrs. Weng came down and asked, "Jian'er, where is this?" Why are we here? ”

Fan Jian said: "This is my father's secret private manor, I have been here once before, very few people know about this place, it should be safe."

"But why are we staying here?" Mrs. Weng asked.

Fan Jian replied: "Don't ask my mother, this is arranged by my father in advance, I just did it." Mother, you and Mama He live here with peace of mind, and my son still has important things to do, so I will come back to see you when I finish my business. ”

Old Madam Weng took her son's hand and asked worriedly, "Jian'er, what are you going to do?" Don't go, my eyelids have been jumping lately, and I always feel that something bad is going to happen. ”

Fan Jian chuckled and said, "Mother, you're too worried!" What's so bad? ”

Mother He persuaded: "Young master, a few days ago, I accompanied the old lady to the temple to burn incense, and I casually calculated a hexagram, and it was indeed signed." It's better to be careful, it's safer for you to stay with the old lady, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case! ”

"Alright, alright." Fan Jian hugged his mother and hugged her back and comforted: "Mother, it's okay, my son will come back to accompany you in a few days."

Old Madam Weng sighed and said, "Hey, you, once you decide, no one can persuade you to get it back." Promise your mother to take care of herself, and come back as soon as the matter is done. ”

"Hmm." Fan Jian jumped on the horse and disappeared from Weng's mother's sight without looking back.

The wind was whispering in his ears, and the sound of horses' hooves was clattering, and Fan Jian hurried to the south.

His instincts told him that something must have happened? Otherwise, with his father's style of doing things, he would not have asked them to flee the capital overnight for no reason.

No matter what happened, he had to rush back to see, and the reins in Fan Jian's hand were tightened tighter.

There were sparsely populated along the way, and after a long day's journey, Fan Jian finally saw a tavern.

After asking for a few catties of beef and steamed buns, Fan Jian feasted on it.

Travelers stopping by in a tavern

was talking about it, and Fan Jian listened attentively: Sure enough, something big happened in the capital, which made people panic.

"Have you heard? Zuo Prime Minister Ding Dong united a group of traitors to rebel, but the conspiracy was thwarted by General Li Longwei and Zeng Qingfeng, and now the criminal parties who participated in the rebellion are all on death row. The people in a long robe said.

Another pointy-faced man said, "Who's to say it's not? I heard that Fan Dingtian, the former chief envoy of the Jinyi Guard, participated in the rebellion, but unfortunately he escaped, and now the head of the arrest of him is hanging everywhere in the capital, and a reward of 1,000 taels of silver is offered. ”

Fan Jian put down his chopsticks in a panic, grabbed the collar of the man next door and asked, "What you just said is the truth?"

The sharp-faced man replied in fear: "Daxia spares his life, what I said is the truth, I just came back from the capital, I don't believe you can ask him, he also saw it."

The man next to him chimed in: "He's right, I also saw the bounty notice."

Fan Jian frowned, anxiously took out a few taels of silver from his arms and put them on the table, then picked up the sword and got on his horse and left.

How did something so big happen? Father is so confused! This time, I'm afraid the gods will be difficult to save.

Either way, he decided to take the plunge and go to the capital to find out.

At the north gate of the capital, Fan Jian, who was dressed in disguise, wore a hat on his head and escaped the detection of the guards and blended into the capital.

Crowds gathered around wanted notices.

Fan Jian stepped in sideways to watch carefully, and sure enough, it was a notice that his father was wanted.

Fan Jian lowered his head and left quietly, and secretly pretended to be a passerby to appear dozens of meters away from Fan's mansion.

I saw that there were a large number of officers and soldiers guarding the gate of Fanfu, and a big seal was pasted on the gate.

"You're so bold!" Someone secretly appeared behind Fan Jian.

Fan Jian hurriedly turned around, his hand on the sword, ready to attack at any time.

When he saw that the person who spoke was Pei Xiuxiu, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Xiuxiu turned out to be you."

Pei Xiuxiu pulled Fan Jian and said, "Come with me."

The two entered a private mansion, Pei Xiuxiu stared at Fan Jian and said, "I saw something like you on the street just now, and it was really you." Brother Fan Jian, why do you dare to appear in the capital? Run for your life. ”

Fan Jian said self-deprecatingly: "Now, where can I escape to?"

Pei Xiuxiu said sadly: "Brother Fan Jian, I know that all this has nothing to do with you, you are innocent."

"One person or sin, the whole family suffers! Not to mention such a big crime of treason. Xiuxiu, don't comfort me, you don't have to worry about me, you can't help me. Fan Jian's sad voice came.

Pei Xiuxiu said excitedly: "Brother Fan Jian, your martial arts are so good, isn't it good to live incognito from now on?" I will do the transfiguration technique, and I will help you escape from the capital. ”

Fan Jian smiled, sighed and said, "If it is said that you and me in the past, hiding incognito among the mountains and forests, it is my long-standing wish. But it's too late, you already have him by your side, and I, as the son of a sinner, are no longer worthy to stay with you. ”

Pei Xiuxiu said sadly: "Brother Fan Jian, you are again."

What was said? Even if the world ignores you, I will still treat you as a brother. I know you very well as you are, and you will not do anything to be sorry for others. Although you have a father like that, he is tired of it, but ......"

"Say no more." Fan Jian interrupted Xiuxiu's words and said, "No matter what crime he committed, as a son, I am willing to accompany him to suffer."

"Why are you in trouble?"

"I understand your intentions, Xiuxiu may be the last time we will meet, there is something I want to tell you in person." Fan Jian said.

Pei Xiuxiu looked at him sadly: "Please speak."

"Forget it or don't talk about it." Fan Jian smiled and shook his head.

"What?"

Fan Jian took out a sachet and returned it to Xiuxiu: "This is the sachet you embroidered for me, I secretly hid one, this time the thing will be returned to the original owner."

"Brother Fan Jian, I ......"

"Don't say it again, I understand, take care!" Fan Jiantou left without looking back.

A day later, a mysterious person appeared in front of Fan Jian and took Fan Jian to the Black Hole Villa.

His father, Fan Dingtian, was waiting for Fan Jian's arrival in the hall of the Black Hole Villa.
