Volume III Chapter 711
Now, Ren Tianxing's heart was full of indignation, distress and helplessness, looking at Yin Xiang with a blank eye, hoping that she could come up with a good solution. Watermark Ad Test Watermark Ad Test
Yin Xiang said faintly: "In order to sit on the throne, the eldest brother has done whatever it takes, and he has done everything he can to do anything to get on the throne, today, he can use Jin Liren to kidnap General Ren's family, and tomorrow, he can also concoct the same method, so as to deal with other ministers who disagree with his political views, if it is allowed to develop, I don't know how many people will be killed, and even this has threatened the foundation of my Yan country, General Ren, what do you say?"
Although Yin Xiang's words were a bit exaggerated, Yin Ting's actions had indeed reached the point of public anger from the gods, not to mention that Ren Tianxing himself was his victim.
Ren Tianxing nodded heavily and said, "What Her Royal Highness the Princess said is reasonable, what should be done, Her Royal Highness the Princess only needs to give the order, and the general will act as ordered." ”
"Okay!" Yin Xiang was waiting for Ren Tianxing's words, her eyes flashed, her fists were slowly clenched, and she said: "Either you don't do it, if you want to do it, you must not leave hidden dangers, this time, you should uproot the party henchmen of the eldest brother and brother!"
Ren Tianxing's heart trembled, and his face couldn't help but show surprise.
He didn't expect Yin Xiang to do it so desperately, and he wanted to take this opportunity to wipe out Yin Ting's whole series, he said urgently: "Your Royal Highness the princess ......"
Yin Xiang waved his hand at him and said: "General Ren, now it has reached the point where either the enemy dies or I die, if you can't eradicate the eldest brother and his family this time, then in the future, the eldest brother will launch endless revenge, this palace is not afraid, but what about you, General Ren? What about those ministers in the court? At that time, the blood will flow like a river, and the foundation of my great flame will be shaken, and the long pain is better than the short pain, so take this opportunity to make a complete decision!"
Think about it. Yin Xiang's words also made sense, Ren Tianxing intervened to give a salute, and Zhengse said, "I don't know what the princess's arrangements are?"
Yin Xiang paced back and forth with her hands behind her back. Ponder for a moment. turned around and ordered: "Immediately summon Zhang Situ, Yang Zhao, Lu You, Bu Ying and other generals to come to the princess's mansion to discuss matters, go quickly!"
An attendant in the back hurriedly agreed. Turned around and ran out.
About half an hour later, a core figure of the Yin Xiang faction rushed to the princess's mansion, including Zhang Situ, Yang Zhao, Lu You, Buying generals, as well as lieutenant Yu Qing, Shaofu Du Yang, counselor Zhong Lang and other cadres.
Everyone has arrived. Gathered in the lobby, civil officials and military generals sat on both sides, looking at it, this was simply a small court.
Yin Xiang sat in the middle, first looked around left and right, and gently cleared her throat, attracting the attention of everyone who didn't know what was going on to her. Then, she told everyone in detail the results of the investigation into the kidnapping of Ren Tianxing's family.
After she finished speaking, the faces of the ministers present all changed suddenly, who would have thought. The gangster who kidnapped Ren Tianxing's family turned out to be a palace guard disguised, and the leader of the team turned out to be Jin Liren.
The first person to stand up and speak was Yu Qing, who slapped the case and said sharply: "What a plan to kill two birds with one stone! The eldest prince kidnaps General Ren's family, and in the future, he can control General Ren for his use, and he can blame this matter on my lieutenant's mansion, so that General Ren will hold a grudge against Her Royal Highness the Princess, this plan is not poisonous!"
"Hmph!" Yin Xiang sneered and said: "Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, no matter how ingenious the plan is, it will not be flawless, after all, there are traces to be found, and this time is naturally no exception!"
"Thanks to Her Royal Highness the Princess's cleverness and intelligence, she guessed that the hostages might be hiding in the palace, otherwise, no one would associate this case with the palace guards!" Yu Qing admired from the bottom of his heart.
Yin Xiang didn't say anything, the words changed, and Zhengse said: "If you want to save General Ren's family, you must immediately arrest Jin Liren, but once Jin Liren is moved, it will be equivalent to tearing your face with the eldest brother, what are your good plans, let's listen to it!"
"In this case, the princess doesn't have to think about brotherhood anymore, she should take this opportunity to eliminate the eldest prince's line, and save him from endangering the court and the Yan country again!" Bu Ying stood up and spoke.
His thoughts coincided with Yin Xiang, and the latter nodded and said: "This palace also has such a plan, but how to annihilate the henchmen of the eldest brother in one fell swoop, this matter has to be considered in the long run." ”
Zhang Situ said slowly: "The eldest prince does not have many cronies in the court, but he has a close relationship with all the princes, especially the bloody marquis, and has frequent contacts with the eldest prince. ”
This is the most troublesome thing to solve Yin Ting, and the princes' army is also the capital that Yin Ting relies on the most.
Yin Xiang nodded thoughtfully, silently, she turned her eyes to look at Ren Tianxing, who was silent on the side, and asked, "General Ren, what do you think?"
At this time, Ren Tianxing's mind had completely calmed down, and he went through the matter of his family's kidnapping in his heart from beginning to end, always feeling that this matter was too weird, and he vaguely felt that there were many places that seemed to exude the smell of conspiracy, but he couldn't say anything about the specific problem.
Hearing Yin Xiang ask himself, he cheered up and said: "Actually, the princes' army outside the city is not to be afraid, it seems that there are indeed many princes who are friendly with the eldest prince, but that is only a friendship on the surface, in fact, most of the princes from all walks of life are grass on the wall, and they fall on both sides, as long as we can capture the eldest prince with lightning speed, and those who really dare to raise troops against the imperial court, I am afraid that there will be no second person except for the bloody marquis, so we only need to guard against the bloody marquis." Although there are many generals under the command of the Bloody Cloth Marquis, after all, it is only the combat power of a legion, and it cannot compete with several legions of the Central Army on our side. ”
The implication of his words is that even if the Bloody Marquis rebels for Yin Ting, he is not afraid.
His words made Yin Xiang nod again and again, and the smile on the latter's face became stronger and stronger, and when he finished speaking, Yin Xiang clapped his hands and laughed, and praised: "General Ren is worthy of being one of the most relied on commanders during his father's lifetime, and he really understands all the princes thoroughly. These brazen villains only have interests in their eyes, and have no friendship, and it would be too much to overestimate them if they wanted to confront the court for a prince who had lost his power and had been captured, and they would not dare and would not do so!"
As she spoke, she stood up and said in a loud voice: "Tonight, we will take the eldest brother by surprise and attack him, list him as a general, and gather your men and horses in the city." Give the mansions of the king's brothers and henchmen to the palace first, and General Ren, you take your men and horses to the Jin Mansion with the palace. Capture Jin Liren!"
Ren Tianxing didn't have a word. Get up immediately and intervene to receive orders.
He also wants to meet Jin Liren in person now. Ask him face-to-face to clearly understand why he kidnapped his family, and whether he really did it at the behest of the eldest prince.
Under Yin Xiang's instructions, all the generals under his command moved. Each gathered soldiers and horses and prepared to fight in Zhaoyang City.
At this time, it was late at night, and Zhaoyang City was quiet, but on this quiet surface, there was already an undercurrent surging, and there was a sign that mountain rain was coming.
There was nothing to say on the way, and I arrived outside the Jin Mansion. Five thousand soldiers and horses quickly dispersed, surrounding the Jin Mansion tightly, and then several burly men rushed to the army. Carrying the two of them on a wooden stake that was more than thick and wrapped in iron sheets, the people shouted in unison and slammed towards the gate of the Golden Mansion.
"Boom!"
With a deafening bang, the gate of the Golden Mansion shattered, and the soldiers outside swarmed in.
Before the family members and the nursing home of the Jin Mansion could figure out what was going on, they were all dumbfounded when they saw the many officers and soldiers who suddenly rushed in.
The generals among the soldiers shouted one after another: "I am on the order of the third princess, come to arrest the prisoner Jin Liren, and the idle people will retreat quickly, if there is anyone who obstructs, there will be no mercy!"
Hearing that the soldiers were sent by the third princess Yin Xiang, the family members and the guards were even more panicked, where did they dare to step forward to stop them, and their faces turned pale one by one, and they were so frightened that they retreated again and again.
There was hardly any fighting, and the soldiers under Ren Tianxing's command controlled the entire Jin Mansion.
When Yin Xiang and Ren Tianxing walked into the Jin Mansion surrounded by many guards, a general immediately ran forward, intervened in the salute, and said: "Her Royal Highness the Princess, General, we have now controlled the Jin Mansion, and Jin Liren is in his bedroom, but ......"
"But what?" Ren Tianxing asked as he walked inside.
However, Jin Liren's wife and children are not in the house. The general whispered.
"En?" Ren Tianxing raised his eyebrows and was about to ask, but Yin Xiang sneered beside him and said, "He must be worried that the matter will be revealed and his wife and children will be implicated, so he hid his wife and children first." ”
The general arched his hand and said, "What Her Royal Highness the Princess said is extremely true!"
Ren Tianxing nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and went straight to Jin Liren's bedroom with Yin Xiang.
At this time, Jin Liren's bedroom was surrounded by hundreds of soldiers, the door was wide open, and the lights inside were as bright as day.
Yin Xiang and Ren Tian walked to the door, looked up and looked inside, only to see Jin Liren dressed in military uniform, with a silver helmet on his head, wearing silver armor, a white lining inside, a white coat on the outside, and a long saber on his waist.
Looking Jin Liren's back up and down, seeing that he didn't seem to have the intention of resisting, Yin Xiang and Ren Tianxing planned to walk into the room.
The two of them were just about to cross the threshold, when Jin Liren, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly said, "Don't come in." ”
Hearing his words, thinking that there was fraud in the room, Yin Xiang's guards pulled her back again and again.
Ren Tianxing stood still and did not move, looked at Jin Liren, sighed faintly, and said, "General Jin, it's been a long time." ”
Jin Liren just snorted and didn't speak.
Ren Tianxing took a deep breath and said, "I have always wondered, I have no rift with General Jin, and I have no grudge against him, so why did General Jin do this?"
Without answering his question, Jin Liren said as if talking to himself: "I knew that you would definitely come here, but I didn't expect you to come so soon." ”
"General Jin, you haven't answered my question yet!" Ren Tianxing's face turned cold and shouted.
"That's right, I have no grievances with the general, it's just that people do things involuntarily in many cases. Jin Liren smiled bitterly.
"General Jin is saying that someone instructed you to do this, may I ask, who is that person?" Ren Tianxing asked in a condensed voice.
Jin Liren moved suddenly, only to see him put down his hand, slowly untie the sword at his waist, cross it on his knee, and then hold the hilt of the sword and slowly draw out the long sword.
"General be careful!" The surrounding soldiers saw it clearly, and hurriedly surrounded him, wanting to pull Ren Tianxing away, but Ren Tianxing waved his hand at the people around him, signaling that they didn't have to worry and retreated first.
I saw Jin Liren raise his long sword, raise his head, look at it carefully, and muttered: "This sword was given by the previous king." If you can die under this sword, you can die a well-deserved death!" he suddenly stood up as he spoke, and at the same time. Turn back.
I saw a sea of soldiers outside. As well as Yin Xiang in the crowd and Ren Tianxing standing in front of the door, he looked up and laughed without warning.
Ren Tianxing gritted his teeth. He asked again: "General Jin, let me ask you again, who instructed you to do this?"
Jin Liren's wild laughter was louder, and it took a long time. He stopped laughing, looked into Ren Tianxing's eyes, and said slowly: "Doesn't General Ren already have an answer in his heart?
"Is it really the eldest prince?!" Ren Tianxing frowned, his fists clenched, and he asked, "Jin Liren, now, where is my family?"
"In the palace!" Jin Liren blinked. "In a dry well in the palace, if you had rushed in time, they might have been alive and not drunk or starved to death." Or, it's too late. As he spoke, he lowered his head and began to think earnestly.
Hearing this, Ren Tianxing's eyes were red, he rubbed his intestines, and his whole heart had shrunk into a ball, his family was actually hidden in a dry well by him, and after so many days, did he have anything to eat and drink? He leaned forward subconsciously, his clenched fist was oozing blood, and he roared angrily: "Which dry well are you talking about?"
"A dry well is a dry well...... Jin Liren looked down at the shiny long sword in his hand, then raised his head and looked at Yin Xiang behind Ren Tianxing, he took a deep breath and said loudly: "Even if the last general deserves death, please ask Her Royal Highness the princess to spare the wife and children of the last general, and the last general is here to thank you!" As he spoke, he raised the sword in his hand suddenly, put it across his neck, and looked up to the sky and sighed: "O king, I will meet you in the future......" Before his words fell, the sword in his hand had been wiped down.
"Wait a minute......" Ren Tianxing still wanted to stop him, but it was too late, with a muffled sound, the sharp blade tore Jin Liren's neck open, because he used too much force, even the muscles in his neck were cut off, and blood immediately gushed out.
"Dang Chang!" the long sword fell to the ground, and Jin Liren's corpse also fell straight on his back.
"Jin Liren!" When Ren Tianxing rushed into his grasp, all he saw was a corpse that was still twitching.
Oh! Ren Tianxing was so anxious that he stomped his feet again and again, the palace was so big, and there were so many dry wells, how could he find the dry well that hid his family for a while?
At this time, Yin Xiang also walked into the room, first looked at the corpse on the ground with complicated eyes, and then turned to look at Ren Tianxing, and said: "General Ren, don't worry, this palace will take you into the palace to save your family!"
"Thank you, princess!" Ren Tianxing gave his hand again and again.
At this time, an escort general stepped forward and intervened and asked, "Your Royal Highness Princess, do you still want to track down the whereabouts of Jin Liren's wife and children now?"
Yin Xiang looked down at the corpse again, sighed, shook his head and said, "Forget it, since the criminal minister Jin Liren is dead, ...... Spare his family!"
"Yes, Your Highness the Princess!" the general replied and bowed back.
For Yin Xiang's decision, Ren Tianxing still agrees with it, Jin Liren is a heinous crime, but it does not mean that his family is also guilty, and now Jin Liren is afraid of committing suicide, and there is no need to kill his family again.
Yin Xiang and Ren Tianxing left a part of the army to check the Jin Mansion, and the two of them led the rest of the soldiers to hurry to the palace.
Even if they had 100,000 urgent matters, ordinary soldiers and generals would not be able to enter the palace, and all of Ren Tianxing's subordinates were left outside the palace, while Yin Xiang entered the palace with her guards.
After entering the palace, Yin Xiang brought Lang Zhong Ling Guan Ning and asked him to mobilize the palace guards to assist in the search of various dry wells in the palace.
This time, his lieutenant committed such a big case, and hid the hostages in the palace, and he didn't even notice it from beginning to end, speaking of which, he is also directly responsible for this matter, and now he wants him to assist in the investigation, how dare Guan Ning be lazy, as if the kidnapped person was his father and mother, busy before and after, commanding the palace guards to search the entire palace.
With the cooperation of a large number of palace guards, it became twice the result with half the effort, and after less than half an hour, the palace guards found Ren Tianxing's family in a dry well near the cold palace.
When Ren Tianxing's family was carried up from the bottom of the well by the guards one by one, Yin Xiang and Ren Tianxing also rushed to hear the news.
I saw Ren Tianxing's parents, wife and children as if they had climbed out of the coal pile, all of them were black from head to toe, their faces and bodies were covered with black and swarthy mud, and there was a faint stench, like people and non-people, like ghosts and not ghosts, the only thing that is fortunate is that they are all alive.
Seeing that his family still had a breath left, Ren Tianxing's heart that had been mentioning his throat for several days finally fell back into his stomach, and now where could he care about whether it was dirty or not, he rushed forward and cried with his family.
Next, Yin Xiang also specially asked people to arrange rooms in the palace, prepare meals and refreshments, and even the medical officer also found them, and temporarily settled Ren Tianxing's family in the palace.
The safety of the family members finally eased Ren Tianxing's tense nerves, and his face was naturally covered with tiredness. These days, he runs around like a robot, barely sleeping a night, even if the iron man can't stand it, not to mention that he is still flesh and blood.
But now he still doesn't have time to rest, and he doesn't have time to reunite with his family, and there is more important things to do next, that is, to besiege the eldest prince's mansion.
So far, he has already torn his face with the eldest prince, if he can't get the eldest prince today, he and Yin Xiang will not have a good life in the future.
As Yin Xiang said, it has now reached the point where either the enemy dies or I die.
