Chapter 322: Goal Achievement (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Fu Zhen walked in front of Xu Yin, Xu Yin raised his head and pointed at her, then fell to the ground on his knees, threw himself forward, and fell to the ground!
The guards next to him whistled, and the group of people who had withdrawn earlier came in response, but Liang Zhi and Guo Song under the door moved faster, and when the whistle sounded, more than a dozen figures came up to meet each other and intercepted all the other party under the eaves!
Liang Zhi rushed to Xu Yin, holding a long sword and about to stab him in the chest!
"Xu thief! I'm going to take your dog life to avenge my aunt!" ”
Pei Zhan stretched out his hand and grabbed his arm: "It's not worth it!" He is a criminal who instigated the prince's rebellion, and he has to be brought back to listen to the emperor's fate. ”
Liang Zhi stared at the ground for a while, and then reluctantly put away the sword.
Xu Yin had already passed out, and the blood sprayed all over his clothes, and the soft tendons would not directly cause death, but the news of Lian Hong's rebellion obviously made him completely desperate, and he lost his last hope, and he couldn't hold it back.
"All go back to trial!"
Pei Zhan motioned to Guo Song to deal with the aftermath.
Then came to greet Fu Zhen to leave.
Fu Zhen had been looking at Xu Yin, and then suddenly squatted down, pressed around on Xu Yin's chest, and then ripped open his placket and took out a round piece of jade.
Pei Zhan saw her tuck the jade into her sleeve, and coughed: "After all, you are also old acquaintances, if you want to keep him for anything, I understand." I won't tell the emperor. ”
Fu Zhen looked at him and smiled, then didn't say anything and walked out of the courtyard.
Outside the door stood many soldiers brought by Pei Zhan, some of whom were the Praetorian Guards in the palace.
Although everyone is in danger, they are not in a hurry and are methodical.
This movement attracted many people nearby, and after confirming that the traitor arrested by the imperial court was actually the famous Xu Shilang of the dynasty, everyone was talking loudly for a while.
When the Xu family's guards escorted Xu Yin out, Fu Zhen glanced at them and got into the carriage brought by Pei Zhan.
Pei Zhan arrived, and after sitting down, he looked at her several times in succession, and finally couldn't help it: "Are you okay?" ”
Fu Zhen wrapped his arms and leaned back, and smiled again: "What's wrong with me?" ”
Pei Zhan also smiled, pursed his lips and rolled up his sleeves.
Fu Zhen asked him: "What happened in the palace?" ”
Pei Zhan pulled out a handkerchief to wipe a few wisps of blood on his arm: "After Xu Yin left, the prince persuaded the emperor for a long time, so he still asked the Li brothers to capture me and Shaoyang." At first, of course, it was not possible to take advantage. But later, when the people from the Zhan Mansion came, the prince was ready to attack the emperor directly and forcibly usurp the throne on the grounds that the emperor's old illness was sudden. But the third prince came. ”
"The Third Prince?"
"Yes, King Yan." Pei Zhan said, "When Shaoyang took King Rong's father and son into the palace, King Yan happened to watch the guards training horses under the noon gate, and Shaoyang informed King Yan of the reasons in the Qianqing Palace, and then entrusted King Yan to ask him to send an order to the soldiers under the palace if he heard a sharp whistle in the Qianqing Palace.
"In this way, at the critical moment, my father and Uncle Cheng and Uncle Du heard the whistle under the palace gate and entered the palace to rescue them."
"What about the prince?"
Pei Zhan took a deep breath and stroked his knees: "Let the emperor die with a sword on the spot." ”
Fu Zhen nodded.
This result was in her expectations. The crown prince's crime of killing his brother is unforgivable, but when the imperial heir is unsustainable, he has already given birth to a grandson, or maybe he can save a life and be imprisoned. But plotting against the palace is a great crime. Not only is it difficult for the emperor to tolerate him as the Son of Heaven, but even these meritorious heroes around the emperor who have made contributions to the founding of the country cannot tolerate him.
It's just that in this way, it is impossible for the emperor and grandson to have a good ending, and with such a father, it will be difficult to convince the public in the future.
Fu Zhen said: "What is the physical condition of King Yan? ”
This question obviously also asked Pei Zhan, who was a courtier, where he was sore point. He frowned deeply and said: "The emperor's mother values the stability of the country more than anything else. Although the crown prince is healthy, if he can keep to himself, it will not be a problem to inherit the throne and maintain stability for decades. But the clan is thin, and it is not good after all. Even if King Rong doesn't break the law, they are not royal descendants, so they will definitely not relax their concern for King Yan.
"However, in the past few years, King Yan has not even been out of the palace, whether the situation is good or not, I am afraid that it will be in front of me."
In short, if King Yan succeeded smoothly, there was no problem, why would the emperor allow the prince to have the opportunity to draw his sword?
If he can't even accept King Yan - at the very least, he must be able to become his own son, right? Now it is impossible to have a child from the clan, why does this throne have to be stabilized by a Yang family, otherwise it will lead to another catastrophe? - Under the imperial system, it is like this, there must be someone in charge there, otherwise it will be a mess.
Fu Zhen was silent for a moment, took out the jade that Xu Yin had obtained, and looked at it carefully.
Pei Zhan glanced at it and did not speak.
Fu Zhen held the jade and spoke: "Do you know? Lian Yu also has a piece of such jade on his body. ”
"Redundant?" Pei Zhan's eyebrows moved slightly.
"Do you remember that Tie Ying said that Duan Mian's wife had a pair of jade pendants for her son and mother?" Fu Zhen looked at him, "It was with the piece of female jade on Duan Mian's wife that King Dayue suspected and finally determined that they still had a child, and then found Xu Yin." I have seen the piece of jade on Lian Yun's body, which is very similar to Xu Yin's jade.
"At that time, I wondered why their master and servant hung the same jade, but if Xu Yin's jade was Ziyu, was Lian Xun's jade the mother jade?"
Pei Zhan paused: "How could his mother's jade be on Lian Xuan?" ”
"It's just weird." Fu Zhen said, "I can see that piece of jade, then Xu Yin can definitely see it, it is said that Xu Yin should not allow him to wear it." If Xu Yin allows it, with Xu Yin's character, he must think that Lian Yun is extremely reliable. But if he is really reliable, why did Lian Yu rebel? ”
Pei Zhan thought for a moment and said, "You go on." ”
Fu Zhen said: "You were outside before, you must have heard it, the crime happened at night, and the reason why Xu Yin was able to make a quick decision was because Lian Yu told the identity of the deceased. I know a lot about this redundancy. ”
Pei Zhan unconsciously stood up, touched the bottom of his chin and said, "I remember that Tie Ying said that King Dayue secretly hid a prince in Lian's house. ”
"But Tie Ying said that he had never heard of Lian Xun." Fu Zhen looked at this piece of jade, "If Lian Yu is really from the Wing Palace, and he can be entrusted with such a heavy task to follow Xu Yin for so long, Tie Ying shouldn't know him, right?"
"There's no need for Tie Ying to lie about such a trivial matter.
"Xu Yin's kidnapping of Concubine Li and escaping was not premeditated, it was a follow-up, and it was impossible for Lian Yu to know in advance. In short, I think that this Lian Yu can quickly make the decision to kidnap Concubine Li and escape at that juncture, and he is not a simple person. ”
Pei Zhan nodded: "As soon as you say that, this redundancy is worth holding accountable." It's just that we didn't guard against him before, and after we caught the guard, Lian Yu was already out of the city. According to his confession, there are still Xu Yin's people waiting outside the city to respond. After Lian Yu went out, he would definitely use this group of men and horses to escape in concealment. If you want to catch him, it's not a matter of time and a half. ”
"You can't do nothing. Otsuki's block matter can be ignored, as to how they can confirm that the deceased is the emperor's eldest son, this point must be clarified. ”
Pei Zhan hissed slightly when he heard this, sat up straight and said: "As soon as you talk about this, I think of it again, the queen mother said that the eldest son of the emperor practiced martial arts when he was young and was quite courageous, but the eldest son of the emperor who was killed in the alley witnessed by his mother-in-law is consistent with the situation of the eldest son of the emperor when he died, which is consistent with the image of the eldest son of the emperor described by the mother-in-law. ”
"The eldest son of the emperor has been practicing martial arts since he was a child?"
Pei Zhan nodded: "Not only do you practice martial arts, but you also take two guards with you when you leave." His disappearance may have been related to these two guards as well, but if the guards were unreliable, it would have been impossible for the emperor's eldest son to escape from them at the age of ten at the time. Assuming that these two guards are undoubtedly loyal, then he can only improve his martial arts in the future, and there is no reason to regress.
"How could he have argued with Yang Yu several times and die at his hands?"
Fu Zhen was dumbfounded when he heard this: "There is still this layer?!" ”
Pei Zhan casually told the queen what the queen said before, and the experience of the emperor's eldest son when he was young. Then he said: "A son of a righteous king who faces war day and night, even if he has been in exile for many years, shouldn't he behave like this?" ”
Fu Zhen said: "Have you told the emperor about this?" ”
"Where's the time? The prince was given death, and I came out of the palace. ”
Fu Zhen nodded in a deep voice: "The emperor's emotions have been deeply damaged by this incident, and at this time, the case should be concluded immediately and the court should be stabilized." It's better to talk about these things later. ”
The suspicions on the eldest son of the emperor cannot be ignored, but the emperor has just accepted the fact that the crown prince killed his brother, and no matter how easily it is stirred, it is also a kind of torture for them.
Fu Zhen put this matter aside, and the jade was also put away. He raised the teapot and poured each other a cup of tea, and said, "Let me down at the front corner, I must go and see my mother, who must be very worried about me." ”
After saying that, she leaned her neck and drank the tea, then asked the guard to stop and went down on her own.
Pei Zhan looked at her back and wanted to say something, but raised his hand in the middle of the window and put it down again.
……
The turmoil, which lasted less than a day, was enough to cause a sensation in the city.
As a result, the government had to send personnel to maintain it.
Of course, Pei Zhan and Liang Chen, as the main forces in solving the case, must be entangled in affairs at this moment, and Fu Zhen certainly can't delay his time.
After sending Fu Zhen away in the early morning, Mrs. Ning didn't close her eyes again. In order not to cause trouble to Fu Zhen and them, she did not leave the door all day, until she heard that Xu Yin was surrounded by the house next door to Baiyu Hutong, where he had lived, she relaxed and went from Ning's house to Wanbin Building according to the agreement with Fu Zhen earlier.
Due to the ban in the city, the restaurant is also closed today, Mrs. Ning paced back and forth in the attic, watching the sun slanting westward, and throwing into the house through the gap between the branches and leaves, Fu Zhen's footsteps came up from the bottom to the top!
Regardless of her manners, Mrs. Ning walked down the stairs in three steps, stopped and looked at it for a moment, before she stepped forward and grabbed Fu Zhen's arms and said, "Nothing happened to you, right?" ”
Fu Zhen let out a long breath, shook his head, and hugged her: "I'm fine." Everyone has been arrested, and the dust has settled! ”
"Great!" Mrs. Ning choked up, let go of her and said, "Your Uncle Xie - Lord Xie, he just sent someone to deliver a letter, briefly talking about the situation in the palace, and also said that you personally led someone to chase Xu Yin, after I got the letter, I didn't have an inch of comfort in my body." That thief is extremely slippery, I'm afraid that you will make a mistake. ”
Fu Zhen helped her upstairs and sat down, and it took two breaths to stabilize her breath before saying, "From now on, you can rest assured." The mystery of Baiyu Hutong has been revealed. The crown prince, Xu Yin, King Rong's father and son, these people are all brought to justice. We can live in peace. ”
Revenge is not the whole of her life, but it is also the goal she must achieve when she is reborn.
In the past six months, she has put all her energy on revenge, and from the moment she took down Xu Yin, her life was back on track.
After the revenge is avenged, this past becomes the real past.
From now on, it doesn't matter if she is Liang Ning or Fu Zhen, what matters is her longing for the rest of her life for decades in her previous life, and from now on she can pick it up again to realize it.
Mrs. Ning stroked her slightly messy hair: "Master Chengkong's words really worked, since you escaped death from the White Crane Temple, everything has improved." From now on, it will naturally get better and better. ”
The mother and daughter snuggled up to each other under the gentle sun, giving birth to a room of peace.
When Jin Zhu's footsteps came up from under the stairs, Fu Zhen also sat up straight. She took two sips of Jinzhu's tea, and then said, "There is something important that I haven't had time to tell my mother yet. Do you know who killed King Rong's father and son? ”
The matter of the prince's killing of his brother involves Lunchang, and the palace naturally needs to keep it secret for the time being, and it will be announced afterwards. Therefore, Mrs. Ning will not know the inside story of this matter at present.
Sure enough, Mrs. Ning was stunned: "Is it the eldest son of the emperor?" ”
"It's the emperor's eldest son, so it's reasonable, isn't it?" When talking about the fan earlier, they both had a faint guess in their hearts, even if they didn't know that it was the eldest son of the emperor, they guessed that it was the most important person.
After Fu Zhen finished talking about the past of the emperor's eldest son, he continued: "I didn't expect that my grandfather would be a crucial person with the whereabouts of the emperor's eldest son. Then it makes perfect sense for him to tell his mother to act carefully.
"I asked Xu Yin if he knew the cause of his grandfather's death, but I found that the information about his eldest son of the emperor was also known through the Lian Shu next to him, so he may not know about the death of his grandfather, and even if he knew, it belonged to hearing from Lian Yu's mouth.
"What I thought at the time was that the case of the eldest son of the emperor had nothing to do with the struggle for imperial power in their big moon, and there was no reason for even a redundant party to pay attention to this. How did he find out? At that time, he had not been with Xu Yin for a long time, so he should not have taken over Xu Yin's guards before, but he had these news at his fingertips. ”
If Lian Yu hadn't happened to provide such important information, Xu Yin would not have made the decision to immediately use this case to ask Liang Ning for a dagger, so as to move closer to the Rongwang Mansion.
