V3.Chapter 70

After all, Ren Fang still refused to stand on his side, which made Xiao Xiang feel helpless and frustrated.

She said reluctantly, "general Ren, don't think that you can stay out of the incident by moving out of the capital and living in the barracks. They won't let you go, and may even involve your family."

Hearing this, Ren Fang's face immediately sank down and said, "the princess intimidates the end general so much that the end general is really terrified."

"It's not that the palace is scaring you, but now they are crazy and dare to assassinate the palace in broad daylight. General Ren thinks there's anything else they can't do, or they dare not do?" Xiao Xiang warned heavily.

"Thank you for your warning from your royal highness." Ren Fang nodded, but his face was still gloomy and didn't mean to go on.

He knew in his heart that Xiao Xiang was anxious under his repeated refusal, and what he said was just her angry words. In fact, it was Xiao Xiang's angry words, but she didn't know. Unfortunately, she was right.

The day after Xiao Xiang went to find Ren Fang, late at night, Ren's house, located in the center of Zhaoyang City, was suddenly attacked by an incredible sneak attack. The sneak attack on Ren's house was not bandits or assassins, but soldiers in military uniforms and armor, with hundreds of people.

Under the banner of the Lieutenant's residence and with the certificate of the Lieutenant's residence, these Sichuan soldiers first surrounded the Ren's residence in the name of Ren Fang's adultery with the enemy country, then forcibly rushed into the residence and bound Ren Fang's elderly parents, his wife, children and more than 10 people.

They came and went quickly. They had less than a column of incense together, and their actions were rank and regular. Even after catching people, they pasted the seal of Lieutenant's house on the gate of Ren's house.

It can be said that from the beginning to the end, there was no problem. The Lieutenant's house was arresting people to handle the case, so that the servants and guards of Ren's house did not dare to stop them. After the soldiers took all the people away, the servants of Ren's house hurried to Ren Fang's uncle's house to report.

Ren Huaizhong, Ren Fang's uncle, is not a high-ranking official in the court, but he is also the imperial Shi Zhongcheng of the third grade, who can directly participate in the government of the court.

Hearing the report from Ren Fu, he was full of inexplicability. The imperial court didn't investigate Ren Fang. Ren Fang is still staying in the military camp outside the city. How could Lieutenant Fu suddenly send someone to seal up Ren Fu and arrest more than a dozen people.

Ren Huaizhong sent someone to the barracks outside the city to report to Ren Fang, while he personally rushed to the Lieutenant's house to find out what was going on.

When he arrived, the Lieutenant's mansion was peaceful and calm. There was no lamp in the yamen, and the lieutenant Yu Qing was not there. There was only a small official on duty in the Lieutenant's mansion, and there was no trace of a major case to be handled.

When it was said that Ren Huaizhong, the governor of the imperial court, was visiting, the petty official of the Lieutenant's house did not dare to neglect and greeted him personally. After meeting, Ren Huaizhong asked why the Lieutenant's house wanted to arrest Ren Fang's family and seal up Ren's house. What crime did Ren Fang commit?

The officer of the Lieutenant's house was completely puzzled by Ren Huaizhong's repeated questions. The monk of his second brother-in-law couldn't figure out when the Lieutenant's house sent someone to seal up Ren's house, and how to arrest Ren Fang's family?

Ren Fang is a great general and the Marquis of the state of Sichuan. He has the command of three central army legions. If he commits a crime, the Lieutenant's office will not be able to investigate him. The king and the imperial court must send senior officials to investigate.

When Ren Huaizhong finished, the official shook his head and said, "Lord Ren, is there any misunderstanding? Look, there are so many people on duty in our Lieutenant's house tonight. How can we seal up Ren's house?"

Even if he didn't say it, Ren Huaizhong saw that there was a problem. He asked the informant to come over and asked in a deep voice, "are you sure it's Ren's house sealed up by the Lieutenant's house?"

"Yes, sir, those officers and soldiers carry the token of the Lieutenant's house and the written instruction of the Lieutenant's Lord, and the words of the Lieutenant's house are also on the seal. They can't be wrong."

"Impossible!" Before Ren Huaizhong could speak, the officials of the Lieutenant's house shook their heads and said, "the lieutenant is resting at home and hasn't come to the Lieutenant's house at all. Even the official seal of the lieutenant is still in the lobby. What's the written instruction?"

"Oh... This..." the servant hesitated and couldn't say a word. He didn't know what was going on. The officers and soldiers who sealed up Ren's house did claim to be from the Lieutenant's house, and did take out the Lieutenant's instructions. As for whether it was true or false, he couldn't distinguish it.

At this time, Ren Huaizhong realized that something was wrong and that the matter was serious. If it wasn't done by the people in the Lieutenant's house, who would have done it? Who is the group of officers and soldiers who sealed up Ren's house?

Ren's house was sealed up by a group of officers and soldiers of unknown origin, and under the banner of Lieutenant's house, it was fatal that Ren Fang's family were taken away. This was not a small matter. Soon, the matter spread all over the city, and lieutenant Yu Qing personally rushed to Ren's house to check.

The seal of the Lieutenant's residence is also pasted on the gate of Ren's residence. The seal is clearly covered with the seal of the Lieutenant's residence. This is definitely a genuine seal from the Lieutenant's residence. But Yu Qing is like a mirror in his heart. He has not issued such an order, let alone asked someone to catch Ren Fang's family and seal up Ren's residence. What's the matter?

Soon, re-election Fang also led a large group of soldiers back to the city. After asking the reason for the whole thing, he can basically conclude that his family must have been kidnapped by gangsters, and these gangsters are by no means ordinary gangsters. They can disguise as people of the Lieutenant's house and have no flaws. They can even get something as important as the seal of the Lieutenant's house, It can be seen that these gangsters are highly capable.

In order to get rid of his suspicion, Yu Qing worked hard to handle the case, ordered to block the four city gates of Zhaoyang, dispatched all the officers and soldiers of the Lieutenant's house, searched door-to-door throughout the city, and vowed to find out the trace of the gangster and let his family go.

However, the huge Zhaoyang city can't be checked in a moment. Moreover, the actions of these gangsters are so thorough that it's not so easy for you to find out.

In order to find his family, Ren Fang also made every effort to mobilize the officers and men of the fifth and seventh legions to participate in the search for criminals.

The Lieutenant's house, together with the fifth and seventh legions, together with the capital garrison, had a total of more than 300000 troops. They launched a carpet test search in Zhaoyang city. As a result, the search lasted for three days. After three days, all parties had no clue. Hundreds of fake officers and soldiers and Ren Fang's family who were kidnapped seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. There were no people alive or dead. Now there are only two possibilities, either the gangster has left Zhaoyang, or the gangster is hiding in a place that has not been searched.

On the night of the incident, the garrison of each city gate did not see any soldiers escorting people out of the city, so the first point can be basically ruled out, so there is only the second point.

However, all the places that can be searched have been searched. There is no clue. There are only those places that cannot be searched in the whole Zhaoyang city. These include the residence of court officials, the residence of princesses and princesses, the palace and other important places.

These places are not easy to search. Needless to say, the Royal Palace, the childe and the Princess House are the land of the royal family. Even the official residence of the ministers in the court can not be searched if you want. There needs to be a written order of the king. But now there is no monarch in Sichuan, what about the written order of the king?

On this day, the court of the state of Sichuan.

After the ministers discussed the rebellion in Zhendi and some domestic affairs, the next focus of discussion was the kidnapping of Ren Fang's family. Right phase Sima Zhaoyan first opened his mouth and asked Ren Fang with concern: "general Ren, can there be a clue about the kidnapper?"

Now Ren Fang has passed the stage of anxiety, and he has even prepared for the worst. He shook his head slowly and said in a heavy tone: "it is certain that the kidnappers have not left Zhaoyang, but they have not been able to find out their trace for the time being."

Sima Zhao said coldly, "although the capital is big, it is not so big that it is boundless. Since the gangsters are in the city, how can they not find clues all the time? But some people don't try their best to investigate the case, or are deliberately shielding the gangsters?"

Alas! Yu Qing sighed in her heart. It is clear that Youxiang's words are aimed at herself. It is unfavorable to handle the case. Whose responsibility is greater? Don't look for it. His lieutenant's office is duty bound. Yu Qing stepped out of the line, bowed his hand to Sima Zhao Yan, and said, "prime minister Sima, in the past three days, the lower official hasn't slept, and his eyes have hardly closed. He has been running around to investigate the clues of the criminals, but he hasn't found anything. It's not that the lower official didn't try his best, but... But that he is really powerless..."

"What a helpless man. If the former king is here, how dare you say the word 'helpless' in front of the former king? It's so useless. How can you be a lieutenant?" Sima Zhao sternly reprimanded.

The Lieutenant's office is a special organization. It is not under the control of the right or the left. It directly serves the monarch.

In the past, Sima Zhaoyan had a good relationship with Yu Qing. At least there would be no naked attack in the court. Since Xiao Xuan died, everything has changed. The ministers in the court assigned branches, including those supporting Xiao Xiang, Xiao ting and Xiao Yuan. Factions attacked each other and fought openly and secretly. For colleagues from different factions, I can't wait to kill the other party at once. The atmosphere of peace in the former Chuanguo Dynasty hall has long disappeared without a trace.

This is the case now. Yu Qing supports Xiao Xiang, while Sima Zhaoyan supports Xiao Yuan, the second childe. Now it's hard to catch Yu Qing's flaw. Sima Zhaoyan is not willing to let go, talking and talking.

Seeing Sima Zhaoyan's full fire and attacking Yu Qing, those ministers who supported Xiao ting and Xiao Yuan joined in one after another. They blamed Yu Qing for his dereliction of duty, and even some ministers thought he was directly related to the gangster. Otherwise, how could the gangster pretend to be the person of his lieutenant's house, and how could they get the token and seal of the Lieutenant's house?
