On the second day after Yin Xiang went to find Ren Tianxing, in the middle of the night, Ren Mansion, located in the center of Zhaoyang City, was suddenly attacked by an incredible sneak attack, and it was not bandits or assassins who attacked Ren Mansion, but soldiers wearing military uniforms and armor, and there were hundreds of people.

Under the banner of the Lieutenant's Mansion and with the certificate of the Lieutenant's Mansion, these Yan soldiers first surrounded the Ren Mansion in the name of Ren Tianxing's illicit communication with the enemy country, and then forcibly rushed into the mansion and kidnapped Ren Tianxing's elderly parents, his wife and children, a total of more than ten people.

They came and went quickly, and it took less than a pillar of incense to add up to the front and back, and their actions were orderly, and their every move was very regular, and even after arresting people, they also pasted the seal of the lieutenant's mansion on the gate of the Ren Mansion.

It can be said that from the beginning to the end, there is no problem, that is, the lieutenant's mansion is arresting people and handling cases, so that the family members and nurses of the Ren Mansion dare not come forward to stop them, and after the soldiers take everyone away, the servants of the Ren Mansion ran to Ren Tianxing's uncle's mansion in a panic to report the news.

Although Ren Tianxing's uncle Ren Huaizhong is not a high-ranking official in the court, he is also a third-grade imperial historian and can directly participate in court politics.

Hearing the report from Ren Mansion, he was full of inexplicability, the imperial court did not investigate Ren Tianxing, Ren Tianxing is still staying in the barracks outside the city now, why would the Lieutenant's Mansion suddenly send someone to seal up Ren Mansion and arrest more than ten people.

Ren Huaizhong sent someone to the military camp outside the city to report to Ren Tianxing, and at the same time rushed to the lieutenant's mansion in person to ask what was going on.

When he arrived, the lieutenant's mansion was peaceful and calm, there was no lantern in the yamen, and Lieutenant Yu Qing was not there, only a minor official of the lieutenant's mansion was on duty, and there was not the slightest hint that he wanted to handle a big case.

I heard that Ren Huaizhong came to visit in the imperial history. The little official of the lieutenant's mansion did not dare to slack off at all, and greeted him in person.

After the meeting, Ren Huaizhong asked the Lieutenant's Mansion why he wanted to arrest Ren Tianxing's family and seal up Ren Mansion, what crime did Ren Tianxing commit?

The official of the lieutenant's mansion was completely confused by Ren Huaizhong's barrage of questions, and his second monk was confused. When did the Lieutenant's Mansion send someone to seal up the Ren Mansion, and how could it talk about arresting Ren Tianxing's family?

Ren Tianxing is a dignified general, the marquis of Yanguo, and he holds the command of the three Central Army Corps, if he commits a crime, the lieutenant's mansion will definitely not be able to find him, and he will have to be sent by the lord and the imperial court to investigate.

After Ren Huaizhong finished speaking, the official shook his head again and again and said, "Lord Ren." Is there any misunderstanding in this, look at it, there are only a few people in our Lieutenant's Mansion tonight, how can we go to seal up the Ren Mansion?"

Even if he didn't say it, Ren Huaizhong also saw that there was a problem, and he asked the family who reported the news to come over, and asked in a deep voice: "Are you sure that it is the Ren Mansion that was seized by the Lieutenant's Mansion?"

"Yes, Second Master. Those officers and soldiers carried the token of the lieutenant's mansion, as well as the lieutenant's edict. And the seal also has the words Lieutenant's Mansion on it, which is absolutely incorrect. ”

"Impossible!" Before Ren Huaizhong could speak, the officials of the Lieutenant's Mansion shook their heads again and again, and said, "The Lieutenant is resting at home now, and he hasn't come to the Lieutenant's Mansion at all, and even the Lieutenant's official seal is still in the lobby." Where's the message?"

"Oh...... This ......" Jia Ding was speechless, and he didn't know what was going on, the officers and soldiers who seized the Ren Mansion did claim to be from the Lieutenant's Mansion, and they did take out the Lieutenant's edict, as for whether it was true or not. That's not something he's a subordinate can tell.

At this time, Ren Huaizhong realized that something was wrong, and he also realized that the matter was serious, if it was not the people from the Lieutenant's Mansion who did it, then who would have done it? Who were the officers and soldiers who seized the Ren Mansion?

Ren's Mansion was seized by a group of officers and soldiers of unknown origin, and it was also under the banner of the Lieutenant's Mansion, and the worst thing was that Ren Tianxing's family was taken away, which was not a trivial matter, and soon, the matter spread throughout the city, and Lieutenant Yu Qing also rushed to Ren's Mansion to check in person.

There is also a seal of the Lieutenant's Mansion on the door of the Ren Mansion, and the seal is clearly covered with the big seal of the Lieutenant's Mansion, which is definitely a genuine seal from the Lieutenant's Mansion, but Yu Qing is like a mirror in his heart, he has never given such an order, let alone let people arrest Ren Tianxing's family and seal the Ren Mansion, what is going on?

Soon, Lian Ren Tianxing also led a large group of personal soldiers back to the city, and after asking the reason for the whole incident, he could basically conclude that his family must have been kidnapped by gangsters, and this group of gangsters is by no means ordinary bandits, they can disguise themselves as people from the Lieutenant's Mansion, and they can also disguise themselves without flaws, and even get such an important thing as the seal of the Lieutenant's Mansion, which shows that these gangsters are very capable.

In order to get rid of his suspicion, Yu Qing worked hard to handle the case, ordered to block the city gates on all sides of Zhaoyang, and dispatched all the officers and soldiers of the Lieutenant's Mansion to search door to door throughout the city, vowing to find out the traces of the gangsters and the whereabouts of Ren Tianxing's family.

However, how can the huge Zhaoyang City be investigated in a moment and a half, and besides, the actions of this group of gangsters are so thorough, how can it be so easy for you to find out the clues.

In order to find his family, Ren Tianxing also exerted all his strength, mobilizing the officers and soldiers of the Fifth and Seventh Legions to participate in the search for gangsters.

The Lieutenant's Mansion plus the Fifth and Seventh Army Corps, together with the defenders of the capital, had a total strength of more than 300,000 people, and carried out a carpet search in Zhaoyang City, and the result was that the search was three days, and after three days, there were no clues on all sides, and the hundreds of fake officers and soldiers and Ren Tianxing's family members who were kidnapped seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

Now, there are only two possibilities, either the gangsters have left Zhaoyang, or the gangsters are hiding in a place that has not yet been searched.

Since the defenders of the city gates did not see any soldiers escorting people out of the city on the night of the incident, the first point can basically be ruled out, so only the second point remains.

However, all the places that can be searched have been searched, and there are no clues, and in the entire Zhaoyang City, there are only those places that cannot be searched, including the mansions of court officials, the mansions of princesses and princesses, and important places such as the palace.

These places are not easy to search, the palace and the princess's mansion needless to say, it is the land of the royal family, and even the official residence of the ministers of the court is not something you can search if you want, that requires an adult's edict, but now there is no monarch in the Yan country. And what about the hand-written oracle of adults?

On this day, the court of the Yan Kingdom.

After the ministers discussed the rebellion in Youdi and some domestic affairs, the next focus of discussion was the kidnapping of Ren Tianxing's family.

Right Prime Minister Sima Zhaoyan spoke first and asked Ren Tianxing with concern: "General Ren, is there any clue about the kidnappers?"

Now, Ren Tianxing has passed the stage of impatience. Even prepared for the worst, he shook his head slowly, and said in a heavy tone: "Now it is certain that the kidnappers have not left Zhaoyang, but they have not been able to find their traces for the time being. ”

Sima Zhao said in a cold voice: "Although the capital city is large, it is not so big that it is boundless, since the gangsters are in the city, how can they not be able to find clues? Or are you harboring gangsters?"

Alas, Yu Qing sighed in his heart, the words of the right minister were clearly aimed at him, and it was not good to handle the case, no matter who was responsible? There is no need to look for it, his lieutenant's office has an unshirkable responsibility.

Yu Qing stepped out of the ranks, bowed deeply to Sima Zhaoyan, and said, "Prime Minister Sima, these three days. Xia Guan had never slept, and his eyes had hardly closed. has been running around, investigating the clues of the gangsters, but there has been no discovery, this is not because the lower officials did not do their best, but ...... It's really powerless......"

"What a good one can't do anything about. If the first king is here, do you dare to say the words 'powerless' in front of the first king? If it is so useless, how can you hold the position of lieutenant?" Sima Zhao reprimanded sternly.

The Lieutenant's Office is a special institution, and it is not under the right or the left. It is directly to the monarch.

In the past, the relationship between Sima Zhaoyan and Yu Qing was also good, at least in the court, there would not be such a naked attack as now, since Yin Ji died, everything has changed, the ministers in the court are divided into factions, some support Yin Xiang, some support Yin Ting, and some support Yin Yuan, etc., the factions attack each other, fight openly and secretly, for colleagues from different factions, they can't wait to kill each other at once, and the peaceful atmosphere in the court of Yanguo has long disappeared without a trace.

The current situation is exactly like this, Yu Qing supports Yin Xiang, and Sima Zhaoyan supports the second son Yin Yuan, and now it is difficult to catch Yu Qing's flaws, Sima Zhaoyan is willing to let go, and he is pressing step by step.

Seeing that Sima Zhaoyan was full of firepower and attacked Yu Qing, those ministers who supported Yin Ting and Yin Yuan also joined in, accusing Yu Qing of not being responsible, and even some ministers directly thought that he was related to the gangsters, otherwise, how could the gangsters pretend to be from his lieutenant's mansion, and how could they get the tokens and seals of the lieutenant's mansion?

Seeing that so many ministers were attacking Yu Qing, the ministers of Yin Xiang's family also stood up one after another to defend Yu Qing. If Yu Qing really has a relationship with the gangsters, how can he still let the gangsters pretend to be people from the Lieutenant's Mansion, this is obviously a plan of the gangsters to kill two birds with one stone, deliberately framed.

The ministers on both sides said a word, and I said a word, so that their faces were red and their necks were thick, and the noisy voices in the court were boiling, and Yin Xiang, Yin Ting, Yin Yuan and other princesses were silent.

It's funny, on the surface it's the ministers fighting each other, but in fact, the ministers are like dolls in their hands, and they are pulling at the invisible threads that control the ministers.

This is the battle for the throne, in which no one is righteous and no one is evil, justice will only belong to the final victor, and evil will only be crowned on the head of the loser.

Watching the ministers of the two factions attacking each other, exposing each other's shortcomings, insinuating, using the topic to play, and sowing discord at all costs, Ren Tianxing closed his eyes and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how did the court of Yanguo become what it is now, is the throne really that important, so important that you can ignore the life and death of Yanguo, and do endless infighting here?

He didn't want to become the object of the interrogation between the two factions, he took a deep breath and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, there is a reluctant request below!" Ren Tianxing suddenly spoke, and the ministers stopped arguing, and the hall finally fell silent.

Sima Zhao said solemnly: "If General Ren has any requests, just say it, I will help you with all my might!"

"Thank you Prime Minister Sima for your kindness. Ren Tianxing looked around at the ministers present, and arched his hand and said: "Now, all the places that can be searched, Lord Yu and his subordinates have already searched, and all that is left is the official residence of the adults, the prince's mansion and the princess's mansion. ”

As soon as this remark came out. The faces of everyone present changed drastically, no matter which faction it was.

Ren Tianxing's meaning is already obvious, to search the ministers' mansions, doesn't this mean that the ministers may collude with the gangsters?

Da Sikong Wei Xin stood up and said, "General Ren doesn't trust me and wait?"

Ren Tianxing waved his hand and hurriedly said, "It's not that I don't trust you lords and generals, it's really a strange case. It's inscrutable. Now three days have passed, I have no hope for the survival of my family, I just want to do my last effort to search the entire capital carefully again without missing any omission, if I can't find any clues, I will not check again in the future, I hope that your lordships and generals will be successful!"

While speaking, Ren Tianxing adjusted the armor on his body. He arched his hand and gave a circle salute to everyone present.

Seeing this, people took a breath and looked at each other, but no one spoke.

Parents, wives and children were all kidnapped, their whereabouts are unknown, the identity of the gangsters is unknown, and even the intentions of the other party are unknown. Ren Tianxing's current mood can be imagined, no matter which faction the ministers are also very sympathetic to him. But if Ren Tianxing wants to search his mansion, where will his face go, and spread it, as if he is related to the kidnapping case of Ren Mansion, and the impact on his reputation will be too bad, not to mention. Everyone has more or less their own secrets that they don't want to be known.

Just when the ministers were hesitant and didn't know what to do, Yin Xiang, who had always been silent, suddenly spoke: "General Ren is right, if you want to search, you should conduct a comprehensive search in the capital without omission, and the so-called don't do bad things." Don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, what are you afraid of your lordships and generals? General Ren, you can bring someone to search the princess's mansion in this palace first, and the door of the princess's mansion will also be open for General Ren at any time, so General Ren can come to inspect at any time!"

No one thought that Princess Yin Xiang would be the first to stand up and cooperate with Ren Tianxing, including Ren Tianxing herself.

In fact, Yin Xiang is also the object of his suspicion, it is very simple, Yin Xiang has looked for him again and again, trying to pull him into the gang, but he has refused every time, you must know that Yin Xiang is a dignified princess, it is impossible to say that there is no guilt in her heart.

And the most critical point, Yin Xiang reminded him that if he remained neutral, his family was likely to suffer, he didn't take it to heart at the time, thinking that it was just Yin Xiang's angry words, but he didn't expect his family to be kidnapped the next day, and it was too coincidental.

In addition, Lieutenant Yu Qing is Yin Xiang's person, it can be said that the Lieutenant's Mansion is one of Yin Xiang's wings, and the gangsters can get the military uniform, armor, tokens, seals, and even the lieutenant's official seal of the Lieutenant's Mansion, do these really have nothing to do with Yin Xiang?

Of course, he was only suspicious of Yin Xiang, and the objects of his suspicion also included Yin Ting, Yin Yuan, and even all the sons and princesses, and now in his eyes, anyone was suspicious.

Yin Xiang took the initiative to stand up and express his position, and also let the ministers of Yin Xiang's family come forward and express their willingness to open the door of the official residence and let Ren Tianxing send someone to search.

Seeing this, the ministers who did not express their position couldn't help but look at their respective masters to see what their masters meant.

Yin Ting and Yin Yuan met and laughed, and the eldest prince Yin Ting stood up and said: "Since Sister Xiang said so, if this son refuses to search again, wouldn't there be a suspicion of colluding with the gangsters and harboring, okay, General Ren, this son's son's mansion can also be searched by you, of course, if you destroy the objects of the prince's mansion during the search, you have to compensate General Ren, haha-"

Yin Ting's face was full of lightness, and in the end, he didn't forget to make a joke to mediate the tense and embarrassing atmosphere in the hall.

Hearing his words, Yin Yuan and many ministers laughed, and then expressed their willingness to accept Ren Tianxing's search.

The two major factions headed by Yin Xiang and Yin Ting and Yin Yuan all accepted Ren Tianxing's request, and the other princes, princesses, and ministers would not refuse again, and in the end, the princes, princesses, and ministers present unanimously agreed to accept Ren Tianxing's search and eliminate their suspicions.

Unexpectedly, things would go so smoothly, all the princes, princesses, and ministers would accept their requests, and Ren Tianxing was relieved, and bowed to everyone present with gratitude.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Ren Tianxing walked out quickly, without further ado, he had to quickly dispatch troops to search everywhere.

He was walking out, when he suddenly heard someone behind him summoning him: "General Ren! General Ren, please wait, General Ren, please stay!"

Ren Tianxing stopped his steps, looked back, and it was none other than Yin Ting who stopped him, only to see Yin Ting and Yin Yuan walking side by side, walking quickly towards him. Ren Tianxing frowned secretly, not knowing what these two sons were going to do.

Soon, Yin Ting and Yin Yuan both walked to Ren Tianxing's approach, and the former sighed and said: "General Ren is the pillar of my Great Yan, and such an evil thing happened in my family, not only the misfortune of General Ren, but also the misfortune of my Yan country, even if it is the imperial court, there is also a suspicion of dereliction of duty!"

As the eldest son, it is difficult for him not to be moved when he says this. Ren Tianxing's eyes were red, and tears almost fell, he took a step back and gave a deep salute to Yin Ting.

Yin Ting was about to continue talking, and at this time, Yin Xiang passed by them surrounded by a group of confidant ministers.

Yin Ting swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, looked at Yin Xiang but smiled silently.

Yin Xiang and the others also walked forward, sweeping Yin Ting, Yin Yuan, and Ren Tianxing with scrutinizing eyes.

After they walked over, Bu Ying, who was following behind Yin Xiang, seemed to be talking to herself and as if she was deliberately reminding Ren Tianxing, and suddenly said: "People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, but you must be careful that some people are charitable on the surface and cunning on the inside, one set in the open and another set in secret!"

Hearing his words, Yin Ting and Yin Yuan's faces turned green, but Bu Ying did not name him, and there was nothing he could do about Bu Ying.

After Yin Xiang and the others walked away, Yin Yuan stomped his feet fiercely, gritted his teeth and said: "It's too much to deceive people, it's just too much to deceive people, if you let Xiangmei sit on the throne, you don't need her to cut off our heads, and the henchmen below her can tear us apart and chew us one bite at a time!"

Yin Ting's face turned blue with anger, and his fists clenched. (To be continued......)
