Final Volume Chapter 75

It is indeed Jin Liren! Xiao Xiang and Ren Fang's eyes lit up at the same time. Ren put down his consciousness and grabbed Zhang Tong's collar, and asked sternly: "Did you bring my family into the palace?"

Zhang Tong drooped his head, not daring to look Ren Fang in the eyes, and said feebly: "Yes..."

"Where did you hide them?" Ren Fang asked anxiously.

Zhang Tong shook his head and said: "This... I don't even know. General Ren's family was... imprisoned by General Jin himself. I really don't know where in the palace they are being held."

As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Xiang again and begged: "Your Highness, the villain has told me everything he knows. Your Highness, please have mercy on me. Your Highness, please have mercy on me..."

Seeing Zhang Tong's frightened appearance, Ren Fang knew that he was not lying. He slowly loosened his collar, then turned around and walked back to Xiao Xiang, asking in a low voice: "Your Highness, look... "

Xiao Xiang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Since it is indeed Jin Liren who did it, I should punish him severely!" As she spoke, she strode out of the dungeon.

After leaving the dungeon and outside, Ren Fang caught up with Xiao Xiang and said with a frown: "Your Highness, the general has no enmity with Jin Liren. The general really doesn't understand why he is willing to take such a big risk to kidnap the general. family!”

Xiao Xiang took a deep breath, looked at Ren Fang strangely, and asked, "Does General Ren still think that Jin Liren did this alone?"

Ren Fang took a breath and asked, "What does Her Royal Highness mean...that there is a real culprit behind Jin Liren?"

"Of course!" Xiao Xiang said: "Jin Liren is in charge of the palace guards, and General Ren is in charge of the Central Army Corps. You two can't even fight, so how could he kidnap your family for no reason? ? There must be another real culprit behind it, and Jin Liren is just a pawn controlled by others. "

Ren Fang narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It was good to follow the clues, but the clues were getting bigger and bigger. He asked: "Who does Her Highness the Princess think will be the person who is responsible for envoy Jin Liren?"

Xiao Xiang laughed out loud and asked: "General Ren, why would you come to ask this question? Doesn't General Ren himself have a clue?"

Let him be silent and say no more. Who does Jin Liren have the closest relationship with? Of course it is the eldest son Xiao Ting. This is not a secret. Jin Liren has publicly expressed his support for the eldest son to inherit the throne more than once. It can be said that Jin Liren is one of the core backbones of Xiao Ting's gang. If there is really a messenger behind Jin Liren, there is no need to interrogate him. It must be the eldest son Xiao Ting.

"This matter has a lot of implications, what should the general do?" Ren Fang really had no idea now.

If he wants to save his family, he must touch Jin Liren, but once he touches Jin Liren, it is equivalent to cutting the flesh of the eldest son Xiao Ting with a knife. A series of chain reactions will occur next, which will go far beyond beyond the scope of his control.

Now, he felt angry, distressed and helpless. He looked at Xiao Xiang eagerly, hoping that she could come up with a good solution.

Xiao Xiang said quietly: "In order to sit on the throne, the eldest brother has done whatever it takes. Today, he can use Jin Liren to kidnap General Ren's family. Tomorrow, he can do the same to deal with other people who are with him." If ministers with different political views are allowed to develop, I don't know how many people will be killed, and it may even threaten the foundation of our country, General Ren, what do you think?"

Although Xiao Xiang's words are a bit exaggerated, Xiao Ting's actions have indeed reached the point where people and gods are outraged, not to mention that Renfang himself is his victim.

Ren Fang nodded heavily and said: "What Her Royal Highness the Princess said is reasonable. What should be done? Her Royal Highness the Princess only needs to give the order, and the general will definitely act according to the order."

"Okay!" What Xiao Xiang was waiting for was Ren Fang's words. Her eyes flashed, her fists slowly clenched, and she said: "Either don't do it, or if you do it, you must not leave any hidden dangers. This time, the general Wang Xiong will Root out all the partisans!"

ah? Ren Xin's head trembled, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. He didn't expect Xiao Xiang to be so capable, and wanted to take this opportunity to kill Xiao Ting all in one fell swoop. He said urgently: "Your Highness the Princess..."

Xiao Xiang waved his hand to him and said: "General Ren, now we have reached the point where either the enemy will die or we will die. If we cannot eradicate Brother Wang's line this time, Brother Wang will launch endless revenge in the future. Of course, I Not afraid, but what about you, General Ren? What about the ministers in the court? When the blood flows, the foundation of Dachuan will be shaken. The long-term pain will be worse than the short-term pain. We should take this opportunity to make a complete end!"

After thinking about it carefully, Xiao Xiang's words made sense. Ren Fang stepped in to give the gift and said seriously: "I wonder what the princess has planned?"

Xiao Xiang clasped her hands behind her back, paced back and forth, pondered for a moment, then turned around and ordered: "Immediately summon Zhang Situ, Yang Zhao, Lu You, Buying and other generals to come to the Princess Mansion to discuss matters. Go quickly!"

An attendant behind him hurriedly agreed, turned around and ran out.

About half an hour later, the core figures of Xiao Xiang's faction rushed to the princess's mansion. Among them were generals Zhang Situ, Yang Zhao, Lu You and Buying, as well as lieutenant Yu Qing, Shaofu Du Yang, admonishment doctor Zhong Lang and other civil servants.

Everyone had arrived and gathered in the lobby. Civil servants and military generals were sitting on both sides. Looking around, it was like a small court.

Xiao Xiang sat in the middle, first looked around, cleared her throat gently, and drew the attention of everyone who didn't know what was going on to her. Then, she told everyone in detail the results of the investigation into the kidnapping of Ren Fang's family.

After she finished speaking, the expressions of all the ministers present suddenly changed. Who would have thought that the gangsters who kidnapped Ren Fang's family were actually palace guards in disguise, and the leader of the group was actually Jin Liren. The first person to stand up and speak was Yu Qing. He stood up and said sternly: "What a plan to kill two birds with one stone! The eldest son kidnaps General Ren's family. In the future, he can control General Ren for his use, and he can also marry the matter." It is a vicious plan to bring disaster to my lieutenant's house and make General Ren hold a grudge against Her Highness the Princess!"

"Hmph!" Xiao Xiang sneered and said: "The sky net is vast and sparse. No matter how clever the strategy is, there will be no flaw. After all, there are traces to be found, and this time is no exception!"

"Thanks to Her Royal Highness the Princess's astuteness and intelligence, she guessed that the hostages might be hiding in the palace. Otherwise, no one would associate this case with the palace guards!" Yu Qing admired sincerely.

Xiao Xiang didn't say much, but changed the topic and said seriously: "To rescue General Ren's family, we must arrest Jin Liren immediately. But once Jin Liren is touched, it will be like breaking up with the big brother. Do you have any good ideas?" , come and listen!”

"In this case, the princess no longer needs to think about brotherhood. She should take this opportunity to eliminate the eldest son's line and prevent him from harming the court and the Sichuan Kingdom again!" Buying stood up and spoke.

His idea coincided with that of Xiao Xiang, who nodded and said: "I also have such a plan, but how to annihilate Brother Wang's gang in one fell swoop requires long-term planning."

Zhang Situ said slowly: "The eldest son does not have many cronies in the court. On the contrary, he has close relations with all the princes, especially the Bloody Marquis, who has frequent contacts with the eldest son. If we attack the eldest son, we are afraid that we will attract people outside the city. The mutiny of the princes’ armies.”

This is the most troublesome thing to solve for Xiao Ting, and the princes' army is also the capital Xiao Ting relies on most. Xiao Xiang nodded thoughtfully without making any move. She turned to look at Ren Fang, who was silent at the side, and asked, "General Ren, what do you think?"

At this time, Ren Fang's mind had completely calmed down. He went through the matter of his family's kidnapping from beginning to end in his mind. He always felt that this matter was too strange. He vaguely felt that there were many places that seemed to be emanating... It smelled of conspiracy, but he couldn't tell what exactly was wrong.

Hearing Xiao Xiang ask about himself, he cheered up and said seriously: "Actually, the princes' army outside the city is not something to be afraid of. It seems that many princes are indeed on good terms with the eldest son, but they are only superficial friendships. That's all. In fact, most of the princes are just helpless and fall on both sides. As long as we can capture the eldest son with lightning speed, I am afraid that there will be no second son except the blood-clothed prince who really dares to raise an army to fight against the imperial court. People, so we only need to guard against the Bloody Marquis. Although the Bloody Marquis has many soldiers, after all, they are only one legion and cannot compete with our several Central Army legions. "

What he meant was that even if the Blood-clothed Marquis rebelled for Xiao Ting, there would be nothing to fear.

His words made Xiao Xiang nod repeatedly, and the smile on the latter's face became stronger and stronger. When he finished speaking, Xiao Xiang held up her hands and laughed, praising: "General Ren is indeed one of the commanders that my father relied on most during his lifetime. They really have a thorough understanding of the princes from all walks of life. These shameless villains only have interests in their eyes and have no friendship. It would be too overestimating for them to confront the imperial court for a prince who has lost power and has been captured. They dare not and will not do so. Will do it!”

As she spoke, she stood up and said in a loud voice: "Tonight, we will catch Brother Wang by surprise and attack him unprepared. As a general, we will assemble your troops in the city and give the palace to control the mansions of Brother Wang's faction first. "Come on, General Ren, take your troops and go with me to the Jin Mansion to capture Jin Liren!"

Without saying a word, Ren Fang immediately stood up and stepped in to take the order. He also wanted to see Jin Liren in person and ask him face to face why he kidnapped his family and whether he really did so under the orders of the eldest son.

Under Xiao Xiang's instruction, all the generals under his command were mobilized and each gathered their troops to prepare for a big fight in Zhaoyang City.

It was already late at night, and Zhaoyang City was quiet, but on the surface of this quiet place, there was already an undercurrent, and there was a strong sign that a mountain rain was coming.
