Chapter 2242 Fang Xing Was Deceived
Someone screamed in the distance, and there were voices yelling and scolding.
The torches gradually moved closer to this side, and together with the large fire on the side, the scene was illuminated in detail.
"Uncle, Xiaguan just wants to fish. Yes, Xiaguan likes to drink fish soup made from fresh fish..."
Chen Jin gradually calmed down, and Fang Xing couldn't help but praise: "You really have the demeanor of a famous general, I am not as good as me!"
Chen Jin salivated and said: "Uncle, I'm sorry, I'm going to lower my rank... ow!"
Fang Xing sheathed the knife, and then struck Chen Jin in the face with the blade of lightning.
A scar quickly appeared on Chen Jin's face, which then swelled rapidly.
"Who do you belong to?"
Fang Xing slowly approached Chen Jin's throat with the long knife.
Chen Jin stopped screaming, covered his face and shouted: "Wei Guogong's Mansion, this official belongs to Wei Guogong!"
Fang Xing's long knife stopped in front of his throat and said coldly: "Don't think that since the Duke of Wei's palace has declined, you can just wait and pour dirty water on me!"
The cold and sharp tip of the knife aroused goosebumps on the skin of Chen Jin's throat. He tilted his head back slightly and said, "I dare not lie, otherwise I will fall into hell after death!"
Fang Xing's eyes moved slightly, he took a step back and said, "If you lie, no one in this world can protect you."
Chen Jin breathed a sigh of relief and remembered that Fang Xing had a good relationship with Dingguo Duke Xu Jingchang. He couldn't help but be ecstatic, but he regretted that what he just said was heard by so many people, and was worried that Fang Xing would have to deal with him severely.
"Go to the Duke of Wei's Mansion!"
Fang Xing handed over the scene to Fu Xian and Wang He, and led the people into the city.
Jinling City was almost silent tonight.
Fang Xing took action again, and although not many people were captured, they were all confiscated. It is a symbol of mortal sin and also of exile.
Fang Xing opened the city gate and Li Xiu was already waiting inside.
"Xinghebo, have you caught him?"
Before Fang Xing left the city, he said there was news of pirates landing, so Li Xiu kept an eye on the city defense.
Fang Xing nodded, glanced at the heavily guarded city, and said with satisfaction: "Hold on for another hour, and after the escort enters the city, tonight will be fine."
Li Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and insisted on guarding at the city gate, but he didn't know that the guard in the city had already received the news. He was just arresting criminals tonight, nothing serious.
Fang Xing arrived all the way outside the Duke of Wei's mansion. The servant knocked on the door and opened the door, cursing. When he saw Fang Xing outside the door, the servant who opened the door was frightened and fainted.
"Call Xu Xianyi!"
Fang Xing frowned and looked at the fainted servant, feeling that the Duke of Wei's mansion was really weird.
The guards who followed were also frightened, but they could still stay awake, so they hurried in to call for help.
Fang Xing came to see someone late at night. What did this mean?
When Xu Xianyi got the news, he asked someone to go into the inner courtyard to inform the female family members. He came with a few guards and lanterns to see Fang Xing.
He was a helper, but the women of the Xu family, including Xu Jingchang, the Duke of Ding in Beijing, all said that as long as the Duke of Wei's government gets through this difficulty, Xu Xianyi's group can run sideways in the two capitals in the future.
Thinking of walking sideways, Xu Xianyi couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.
Most of the emperor's nobles and relatives knew what he was thinking, but they were dissatisfied. They felt that the emperor's nobles and relatives were all high-ranking officials, and by the way, they were causing harm to the people.
So Xu Xianyi just wanted to wait until Xu Xianzong matured and move back home, and then with the care and money given by the two governments, he could cultivate the next generation.
"My dear brother, I'm so sad!"
After sighing, Xu Xianyi quickened his pace, and as soon as he entered the front hall, he cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Xinghe is a rare visitor, so please speak frankly."
Don't make small talk, this is the reception tip that the female family members sent after him to tell him.
——People like Fang Xing would not come to the Duke of Wei's house for nothing, so he would appreciate being more direct.
As expected, Fang Xing's face brightened a little, and then he asked, "Do you know Chen Jin?"
Xu Xianyi said without thinking, "I don't know what this person is. Please tell me, Uncle Xing."
Fang Xing stared into his eyes and saw that he didn't dodge, so he said, "This man is a commander in the army.
He said that he was from the Duke of Wei and wanted to ask. "
After temporarily believing his words, Xu Xianyi immediately called for the old housekeeper.
The old housekeeper came with his face flushed and his mouth smelled of alcohol.
"Chen Jin? Uncle, that fat man did pass by the house back then, but later on, after the late Duke ignored world affairs, the house and he no longer had any contact with each other."
"Really do not have?"
Fang Xing said coldly: "I said it wrong, I remembered it wrong, it was a beheading business..."
The old butler was well-informed, but he was still frightened by Fang Xing's cold words, and said subconsciously: "Uncle, is he plotting rebellion?"
Xu Xianyi couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "Uncle Xinghe is asking, answer whatever you ask."
The old housekeeper then remembered that the uncle in front of him could not even suppress Xu Jingchang. He hurriedly stood up straight, burped and said: "It was more than ten years ago, and Chen Jin came here during the Chinese New Year." Twice, later I saw that the late Duke ignored me and never came again."
Fang Xing stared at him and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
The old housekeeper said honestly: "Uncle, I don't dare to lie."
The personnel that allowed Fang Xing to come to question him late at night could almost be linked to treason.
Fang Xing nodded. Xu Xianyi's heart tightened and he asked, "Uncle Xinghe, is there any problem in the house?"
Fang Xing stood up and said: "Chen Jin must have borrowed the power of the Duke of Wei back then to rise all the way up, so there must be some involvement."
"Uncle Xinghe, the Duke of Wei is asking for help."
Xu Xianyi bowed and begged, and the old housekeeper was already a little scared. After all, the current Duke of Wei was considered a phoenix in trouble, worse than a famous prostitute on the Qinhuai River.
This is a bit exaggerated, but it illustrates the current predicament of the Duke of Wei.
The emperor was indifferent, and the old relationship, which was just a walk-in ceremony during the Chinese New Year, was basically cold.
Fang Xing was anxious to interrogate Chen Jin, so he gave a short answer: "The past is the past. Your Majesty wants to look at the present and the future, so it is best to stick to your duty."
After Fang Xing left, Xu Xianyi asked someone to convey Fang Xing's words to the female family members. Later, someone came out to give their opinions.
"... Uncle Xinghe and Duke Dingguo are old friends. No matter what happens, as long as our house is not greedy and our hands are not stretched out... we still need to pay close attention to the rules in the house. The old housekeeper is on duty tonight, but he is drinking If you make a mistake, you are already being punished.”
Xu Xianyi understood what he meant, and after the others left, he said to two aides maintained by the Duke of Wei: "It seems that Duke Ding still wants to help his relatives, so that the family can rest easy."
An aide said: "Ding Guogong was often beaten, like a punching bag for the royal family. Fortunately, our family has taken it away and just closed the door to live, so we are free from these worries."
The other one also said with satisfaction: "Looking at Uncle Xinghe's intention, it is clear that he has some care for our family. Otherwise, with his holy family, just one bullet would make our family miserable."
"He's not that kind of person."
Xu Xianyi said: "The north is being cleaned up, and there are a lot of rebels, all gentry. But there are more gentry in the south, and they are more powerful. Xinghe Bo came to Jinling to intimidate. Anyone who dares to cause trouble at this time will be chopped off with one knife." "
"Hey! Chen Jin is a member of the army. If he is arrested, the south will be uneasy."
…
"This is the first time that Uncle Ben has been deceived."
A room in the temporary residence was opened into a torture chamber. Chen Jin was tied to a pillar. When Fang woke up, he just smiled.
"Uncle, everything the official said is true. In front of the Duke of Wei, the official dares to say this. There is absolutely no lie. If there is, five thunders from heaven will strike!"
