Sure enough, it's Jin Liren! Xiao Xiang and Ren Fang have the same bright eyes. Ren put down his consciousness, grabbed Zhang Tong's collar and asked fiercely, "have you brought my family into the palace?"
Zhang Tong hung his head and dared not face Ren Fang's eyes. He said weakly, "yes..."
"Where did you hide it?" Ren Fang asked anxiously.
Zhang Tong shook his head and said, "this... Villain doesn't know. General Ren's family is... General Jin went to prison in person. The villain really doesn't know where it is in the palace."
Speaking of words, he looked at Xiao Xiang and begged, "Princess highness, the little man said everything he knew, Princess Royal's life, Princess Royal's life."
Looking at Zhang Tong's greatly frightened face, he knew that he had not lied. He loosened his collar and slowly turned back to Xiao Xiang. He asked in a low voice, "Princess highness, you see..."
Xiao Xiang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "since Jin Liren did it, the Palace should punish him severely!" As she spoke, she strode out of the dungeon.
Leaving the dungeon and going outside, he let go and catch up with Xiao Xiang. He frowned and said, "Your Highness will not be ungrateful to Jinli Ren. At the end, he will not understand why he is willing to take such a big risk to kidnap his family."
Xiao Xiang took a deep breath, looked at Ren Fang strangely and asked, "general Ren still thinks Jin Liren did it?"
Letting her breathe in, she asked, "what does your royal highness mean? Is there a real culprit behind Jin Liren?"
"Of course!" Xiao Xiang said, "Jin Liren is in charge of the palace guards, while Ren general is in charge of the Central Army Corps. You can say that you two can't hit eight poles. How can he kidnap your family for no reason? Behind it, there must be another real murderer, and Jin Liren is just a chess piece controlled by others."
Ren Fang narrowed his eyes and couldn't help sighing. It's good to follow the vine and touch the melon, but the melon is getting bigger and bigger now. He asked, "Princess Royal, who is the one who made Jin Liren?"
Xiao Xiang snorted with a smile and asked, "why does general Ren need to ask this palace? Does general Ren have no number in his heart?"
Ren Fang remained silent and stopped talking. Who Jin Liren has the closest relationship with, of course, is the eldest childe Xiao ting. It's no secret. Jin Liren has publicly expressed support for the eldest childe to inherit the throne more than once. It can be said that Jin Liren is one of the core backbones of Xiao Ting's party. If there is a main messenger behind Jin Liren, there is no need to interrogate. It must be Xiao Ting, the eldest childe.
"This matter has a wide range of implications. What should we do at the end?" Ren Fang really has no idea now.
If he wants to save his family, he must move Jin Liren, but once he moves Jin Liren, he is equivalent to cutting the flesh of eldest childe Xiao ting with a knife. Then there will be a series of chain reactions, which will be far beyond his control.
Now, his heart was filled with indignation, distress and helplessness. He looked at Xiao Xiang eagerly, hoping that she could come up with a good solution.
Xiao Xiang youyou said: "Brother Wang has resorted to all means to take the throne. Today, he can use Jin Liren to kidnap general Ren's family. Tomorrow, he can do the same to deal with other ministers who disagree with his political views. If he allows it to develop, I don't know how many people will be killed, and even this has threatened the foundation of our country. General Ren, what do you say?"
Although Xiao Xiang's words are somewhat exaggerated, Xiao Ting's actions have indeed reached the point of public anger, not to mention that Ren Fang himself is his victim.
Ren put his head down, and said, "Your Royal Highness is right. How to do it? Your royal highness only needs to be ordered. It will eventually be ordered."
"Good!" Xiao Xiang waited for Ren Fang to say this. Her eyes glittered, her fist clenched slowly, and said, "either don't do it, if you want to do it, you can't leave hidden dangers. This time, you should uproot the gang members of brother Wang!"
Ah? Ren Fang's heart trembled and his face couldn't help showing surprise. He didn't expect Xiao Xiang to be so unique. He wanted to take this opportunity to catch Xiao ting. He said urgently, "Princess highness..."
Xiao Xiang waved to him, say: "General Ren, now we have reached the point where either the enemy dies or I die. If we can't eradicate brother Wang's family this time, then in the future, brother Wang will carry out endless revenge. Our palace is not afraid, but general Ren, what about you? The ministers in the court? At that time, blood will flow into a river, and the foundation of our river will be shaken. Long pain is better than short pain. We should take this opportunity to make a thorough decision End! "
Think about it carefully. Xiao Xiang's words are also reasonable. Ren Fang stepped in and said, "I don't know what arrangements the princess has?"
Xiao Xiang walked back and forth with her hands on her back, meditated for a moment, turned back and ordered: "immediately call general Zhang situ, Yang Zhao, LV you, bu Ying and other generals to come to the princess's house for discussion, go quickly!"
The attendant in the back quickly promised and turned and ran out.
About half an hour later, the core figures of Xiaoxiang faction rushed to the princess house one after another. Among them are general Zhang situ, Yang Zhao, LV you and bu Ying, as well as a number of literary ministers, such as Lieutenant Yu Qing, major Fu Du Yang and remonstrating doctor Zhong Lang.
When everyone else arrived, they gathered in the lobby. Civil servants and military generals sat on both sides. Looking at it, it was like a small imperial court.
Xiao Xiang sat in the middle. First, she looked around, gently cleared her throat, and attracted the attention of the unknown people to her. Then, she told the people in detail about the investigation results of Ren Fang's family's kidnapping.
When she finished, all the ministers present turned pale. Who could have thought that the gangster who kidnapped Ren Fang's family would be the palace guard disguised, and the leader of the team was Jin Liren. The first one to speak out was Yu Qing. He took up the case, and snapped, "well, a plan to kill two birds with one stone!" the big boy kidnapped the general's family. He could control his generals for his use in the future, and put the matter on the head of my Lieutenant colonel so that he could hate his royal highness.
"Hum!" Xiao Xiang sneered and said, "the net of heaven is broad, careless but not leaky. No matter how clever a trick is, it won't be flawless. After all, there are traces to find. This time is no exception!"
"Thanks to your royal highness, you can guess that the hostages may be hidden in the palace, otherwise, no one will associate the case with the Royal Guard." Yu Qing sincerely praised it.
Xiao Xiang didn't say anything more. As soon as the conversation turned, she said positively: "to save general Ren's family, we must immediately arrest Jin Liren, but once Jin Liren is moved, it is equivalent to tearing his face with the king's brother. Let's hear what you have to do!"
"In that case, the princess doesn't have to think about brotherhood anymore. She should take this opportunity to destroy the eldest childe, so that he won't endanger the imperial court and the state of Sichuan again!" Buying got up and spoke.
His idea coincided with Xiao Xiang. The latter nodded and said, "this palace also has such a plan. However, how to annihilate the followers of brother Wang at one stroke has to be discussed in the long run."
Zhang situ said slowly, "the eldest childe doesn't have many confidants in the court. On the contrary, he has a close relationship with all the princes, especially the blood clad princes. He has frequent contacts with the eldest childe. If we start with the eldest childe, I'm afraid it will lead to a mutiny by the princes outside the city."
This is the most troublesome thing to solve Xiao Ting, and the vassal army is also the capital Xiao Ting relies on most. Xiao Xiang nodded thoughtfully. Without moving her voice and color, she turned her eyes and looked at Ren Fang, who was silent, and asked, "general Ren, what do you think?"
At this time, Ren Fang's mind has completely calmed down. He stroked the kidnapping of his family in his heart from beginning to end. He always felt that it was too strange. He vaguely felt that many places seemed to emit the smell of conspiracy, but he didn't know what was wrong for a moment.
When Xiao Xiang asked himself, he cheered up, The positive color said: "In fact, the princes outside the city are not afraid. It seems that many princes do make friends with the eldest childe, but it's just a superficial friendship. In fact, most of the princes are on both sides. As long as we can capture the eldest childe quickly and dare to fight against the court, I'm afraid there will be no other people except the blood clad princes, so , we just need to guard against blood clothes. Although there are many soldiers under the command of the blood clad Marquis, they are only the combat power of an army corps after all, and can not compete with several central army legions on our side. "
The implication of his words is that even if the bloody Marquis rebelled against Xiao Ting, it is not enough to be afraid.
His words made Xiao Xiang nod again and again, and the smile on the latter's face became stronger and stronger. When he finished, Xiao Xiang clapped and laughed, He praised: "general Ren is worthy of being one of the most trusted commanders in his father's life. He knows all the princes thoroughly. These brazen villains only have interests and no friendship in their eyes. It would be too overestimated for them to fight the imperial court for a lost power and captured childe. They dare not and will not do so!"
As she spoke, she stood up and said in a loud voice, "tonight, we'll take brother Wang by surprise and surprise, list him as a general, gather your people and horses in the city, and control the residence of brother Wang's followers to our Palace first. As a general, you can take your people and horses to Jinfu with our palace and capture Jin Liren!"
Ren Fang said nothing. He immediately got up and stepped in to take orders. Now he also wants to meet Jin Liren in person and ask him why he kidnapped his family. Did he really obey the eldest childe's orders.
At the instigation of Xiao Xiang, all the generals under his command moved and summoned their troops to fight a big battle in Zhaoyang city.
It was late at night and Zhaoyang city was quiet, but on the surface of this quiet, there was already a turbulent undercurrent and a great omen of mountain rain.
