Chapter Forty-Eight: Prison Breakdown

"This brother, we are just refugees who have fled, and we have no intention of fighting with you for territory, from today we can hunt together and share the prey together." Yang Bing sincerely picked up the rabbit that had been thrown on the ground by Hartz and handed it to Hartz.

Through the communication between Hartz and his son just now, Yang Bing could feel that the other party was not a bad person, but very innocent, and Yang Bing did not want to be called an enemy with such a person.

Hartz, a man with a strong and upright temperament, was stunned for a moment, and then took the prey in Yang Bing's hands with some shame, if it was changed in the past, he would never take it.

But his own people have been running around in the mountains for several days, and if it were just men, it would be no problem to be hungry, but those old and weak women and children would not be hungry.

"Let's get to know me, my name is Yang Bing, and I am the general of the Black Armor Guard of the Ming Dynasty." Yang Bing stretched out his hand.

"Hartshatan, the leader of the Ke people, brother, I have made you a friend."

Hartz, a simple man, also stretched out his hand happily and shook it with Yang Bing, although he didn't know what etiquette it was.

"Hatan? Is this your last name? Yang Bing was stunned for a moment when he heard the word Hatan.

Hartz bowed his head in shame: "Yes, I was originally the prince of the Keren Kingdom, and I am a half-brother with Xigang Hatan, who attacked your Ming Dynasty. ”

Only then did Yang Bing see that Hartz looked somewhat similar to the Hartan he saw that day.

Then the two groups of people shared the prey together, most of the people of the Keren clan were innocent and straightforward, and they quickly accepted Yang Bing and his party, and there were still many people in the Keren clan who were injured, and Guan Shiru also helped them treat their illnesses without reservation, and won the respect of the Keren clan.

Everyone was drinking and singing around the bonfire, and then Yang Bing asked Hartz: "Hartz, why did you come to this deep mountain?" It is said that you should have been the prince of the Keren Kingdom, and it is a matter of time before you succeed to the throne. ”

Hartz shook his head: "It's all my hateful brother, originally our Keren people are a friendly people, and never thought of starting a war with Daming, but my brother doesn't think so, he was born a devil, once I went to Daming to meet your emperor, he launched a coup d'Γ©tat, killed our family with his own hands, and occupied the position of king of Keren. ”

Saying this, Hartz's eyes were red, his fists were clenched, and he gritted his teeth and said, "He actually killed our father with his own hands!" After I returned to the clan, he framed me and said that I colluded with the Ming Emperor and killed our king, so that I could only desperately flee to this Qiling Mountain with my subordinates. ”

Yang Bing patted Hartz on the shoulder and didn't speak, it was very uncomfortable for such a thing to happen to this straightforward man.

"Don't talk about me, brother, how did you get into this deep mountain?"

Yang Bing smiled bitterly, to be honest, his experience is quite similar to Hartz's experience: "What else, I was killed by a traitor, I originally led the army to support the war of Tongtianguan, and after arriving, our prince handed me a list of traitors and asked me to send them back to the court, but I was scattered by traitors and collaborators halfway, and I could only attract the pursuers to flee into this Qiling Mountain." ”

"Humph! It's all a bunch of bastards, people who betray their own people, they all deserve to die! Hartz said with empathetic resentment.

And at this moment, in the Tongtian Pass, the four princes took advantage of the candlelight to look at the book of the art of war in front of the bookcase, trying to find something useful from the art of war handed down by these ancients, but it may be because of the continuous war, the spirit of the four princes is not as good as usual, and they fell asleep after a short time.

Just after the four princes fell asleep, a soldier walked in outside the barracks, tiptoed to the bookcase of the four princes, carefully took a piece of paper with the handwriting of the four princes, and walked out.

The soldier walked out of the barracks, came to a deserted wood, turned his head to look around, saw that there was no one, climbed up to the treetops, took out a carrier pigeon from the dense leaves, took the carrier pigeon out of the cage, and then stuffed the paper with the notes of the four princes into the bamboo tube on the pigeon's leg, and let it go.

The carrier pigeon flew out of Tongtian Pass and soon came to the barracks where Lin Ziren was stationed.

"Here, this is the handwriting of the fourth prince, I want you to copy it exactly at all, understand?" Lin Ziren gave the paper with the handwriting of the four princes to an old man who looked polite.

"Yes, General Lin." The old man is Xie Housheng, a famous calligrapher in the South China Sea, whose handwriting is not only difficult to find, but also that he can imitate the handwriting of others at will, so as to achieve the point of being fake.

Xie Housheng made countless fake documents for Lin Ziren under Lin Ziren's hostage, although he was reluctant in his heart, but his family was in the hands of the other party, and Xie Housheng had no choice.

Soon, according to Lin Ziren's request, Xie Housheng wrote a letter imitating the handwriting of the four princes.

Lin Ziren took it and looked at it, and then laughed: "Not bad, not bad, Mr. Xie is really a good handwriting, hahaha." ”

But the more Lin Ziren praised himself, the more tormented Xie Housheng's heart became, and the taste of doing things without conscience was not pleasant, he knew that because of the letter he wrote, many people would die.

"Someone will send Mr. Xie back to rest." After Lin Ziren finished speaking, he didn't look at Xie Housheng: "What if there is a list, Zhu Yuanzhang, I just want you not to see things outside of Kyoto!" Sooner or later I'm going to take your place! ”

"Someone!"

"General!" A soldier walked in from outside the tent.

"Go, find someone to turn into a herald in the army of the four princes, send this letter back to Kyoto, and hand it over to the emperor!"

"Yes, General."

In Kyoto City, the whole Yang Mansion was immersed in a sad atmosphere, all the things that were touched by red were removed, and the main hall was also changed to a mourning hall.

Yang Xiyuan and Liu Yuting were also full of sadness, they lost their children in middle age, and they were caught up by them as one of the three major misfortunes in their lives.

Yang Ruo has been hiding in his room and not daring to come out, no matter who tries to persuade him.

Wan Qi Shihui saw his daughter so uncomfortable, and he was also distressed in his heart, and at the same time felt very sorry for Yang Bing's death.

Originally, Yang Xiyuan didn't believe that Yang Bing was dead, after all, no one had seen Yang Bing's body, but two days ago, Li Wu and the second child also returned to Kyoto and brought back the jade pendant that Yang Bing was carrying, and the jade pendant still had dried blood stains on it.

They found this jade pendant on the edge of the cliff, and when they found it, the second child didn't believe it and wanted to go down to have a look, but the pursuers under the mountain found them and had no choice but to rush back to Kyoto.

What they didn't know was that if the two of them walked further into the depths of Qiling Mountain at that time, they would be able to meet Yang Bing and the others.

After seeing the jade pendant, the last hope in everyone's hearts was shattered.

Since there was no corpse, Yang Xiyuan ordered to find a robe that Yang Bing once loved to wear, set up a mound, and buried it.

The day after Yang Bing's funeral, Wan Qi Keer disappeared, along with Li Wu and the second child.

When the second prince knew the news, he clapped his hands: "It's bad, Ke'er must have taken someone to Tongtianguan to avenge Yang Bing, this stupid boy!" ”

At the beginning, Wan Qi Keer wanted to ask for his life with the saint and lead the troops back to support Tongtian Pass, but Zhu Yuanzhang did not agree, and the crown prince Zhu Di did not want Wan Qi Keer to be in danger, and the six princes had already led troops to support.

But Wan Qi Keer's stubborn temper came up, and seeing that no one was willing to send troops to her, she called Li Wu and the second child alone, and the three of them rushed to Tongtian Pass again, at this moment, Wan Qi Keer only thought about killing Lin Yan with his own hands and avenging Yang Bing.

But just two days after Wan Qi Keer left Kyoto, Zhu Yuanzhang received a secret letter, which was written by Lin Ziren in the handwriting of the fourth prince.

The meaning of the letter is that Yang Bing and Wan Qi Keer joined forces with the Tatars to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, and forged a list to frame important officials of the imperial court, and also handed over the thunderbolt to the Tatar prince Hatan, causing the Tongtian Pass to be on the verge of being lost.

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious after receiving the secret letter, and immediately summoned Yang Xiyuan and Wan Qi Shihui.

After Yang Xiyuan and Wan Qi Shihui got the news, they naturally didn't believe it, but the handwriting on the letter was indeed the handwriting of the fourth prince, and the two didn't know what to do for a while.

Seeing that the two had nothing to say, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the two to be put in prison, and everyone in the Yang Mansion and Wan Qian Mansion was arrested.

This is also Zhu Yuanzhang's mercy, and at the same time, he is also giving the two of them a chance, a chance to prove their innocence, after all, Zhu Yuanzhang is also skeptical of this secret letter, but his fourth son's handwriting is in front of him, and he has to believe it.

After the Yang family and the Wan Qi family were arrested and put in prison, Lin Feng could be said to be very happy, with a smile on his face.

There was a circle of gauze around his forehead, and if Yang Bing saw Lin Feng's current appearance, he would definitely remember a cartoon Black Cat Sheriff that he watched in the welfare home when he was a child.

This is the best news Lin Feng has heard in the past few days.

In addition to serving Lin Feng every day, Shuang'er also has to persuade Ziyun, who is also a woman, and Shuang'er doesn't want to see Ziyun die rather than be killed by Lin Feng in the end.

"You are from the master, the Yang family is now gone, even if you are released, there will be no backer." Shuang'er put down the meal and said to Ziyun.

"Humph! You don't have to scare me, when my young master and master find me, see what you do! "Ziyun is still neither humble nor arrogant.

Shuang'er chuckled: "The whole Yang Mansion has been put in prison by the Holy Lord yesterday, and even Wan Qi Shihui's family has also entered, accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason, I think it should be punished by the Nine Clans." ”

After Shuang'er finished speaking, she turned around and walked to the door, and when she arrived at the door, she turned her head slightly and said: "A subordinate like you, if you return to the Yang Mansion, it will be a death, why bother, now that you follow the master, you can still save your life, think about it yourself." ”
