Volume 10 Chapter 70

"It's not clear yet. But the troublemaker said he wanted to see the king." Lei Zhen said, "The soldiers of the Capital Guard Camp have blocked all the streets near the palace. As long as the king gives the order, none of the troublemakers can escape."

Tang Yin thought for a while, waved his hand, and said, "Don't do it yet. I'll go back and see what's going on." As he spoke, he lowered his head and said to Yin Rou, "Rou'er, I have to go first. I'll taste your osmanthus cake next time."

Not knowing who the other party was, Yin Rou was very worried about Tang Yin's safety. She pulled his sleeve and told him worriedly, "Be careful!"

"I know, don't worry." Tang Yin patted her hand, and then strode out.

Yin Rou still said to Lei Zhen worriedly, "Please General Lei, please protect the king's safety."

"Yes! Princess. I'll take my leave!" It was not until this time that Lei Zhen dared to look up at Yin Rou. He had never seen Yin Rou before. Seeing her appearance clearly, his heart was also shocked, and he secretly said, "How beautiful!" Not daring to be distracted, Lei Zhen bowed and retreated, followed Tang Yin out of the palace and returned to the palace.

When Tang Yin returned to the palace, it was very lively outside the gate. A large number of soldiers gathered at both ends of the street, three layers inside and three layers outside, blocking the street in front of the palace. Seeing the king coming on horseback, people retreated to the left and right in an orderly manner, making way for a passage. Tang Yin urged his horse through the crowd and came to the main gate of the palace.

There were more soldiers here. Not only Cheng Jin, Letian, and Ai Jia were there, but even generals such as Wu Guang and Jiang Fan had arrived. Looking at the center of the crowd, there was a group of civilians in plain clothes. They were old and young, but the youngest was over 30 years old. Without a close look, just feeling the spiritual pressure they exuded could tell that they were all spiritual practitioners.

"Who are you?" Tang Yin, who came forward, sat upright on his horse and looked down at everyone.

"Who are you?" A 30-year-old strong man glared at Tang Yin and shouted.

On weekdays, Tang Yin didn't have the habit of wearing royal clothes. His clothes were casual, and at best he looked like a rich young man from a good family. Hearing the other party's question, the faces of the generals around him changed, but Tang Yin smiled and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"The king!" the strong man said decisively.

"I am the person you are looking for." Tang Yin said with a smile.

"We want to see the king, who are you..." He was halfway through his words, and suddenly realized it, with a look of surprise on his face, opened his mouth wide, pointed at Tang Yin and said, "You...you are the king?"

Tang Yin nodded seriously and said, "Yes!"

The dozen rangers looked at each other, and their faces were all doubtful. For a moment, they didn't know whether what Tang Yin said was true or false. At this time, the Shangguan brothers shouted, "You don't salute when you see the king?"

If Tang Yin said so himself, they might not believe it, but if the generals of the Feng Army said so, they couldn't help but believe it. Dozens of knights were shocked, and they knelt on the ground at the same time, kowtowed, and said, "I pay my respects to the king!"

From their accents, these knights were all Feng people, and they could even salute him, so they didn't seem to have any bad intentions. Tang Yin sighed secretly, raised his head and said, "Everyone, get up!"

"We have grievances, and I hope the king will make it clear!" None of the knights got up, and the middle-aged man in the middle still kowtowed to the ground and said loudly.

Grievance? Tang Yin had never encountered such a thing before, and his mind was full of confusion. If there was a grievance, why did he come to him instead of the local city lord, county chief, or county chief? He frowned and said, "Get up first." As he said that, he turned over and dismounted, handed the reins to the attendant beside him, and walked into the palace while saying, "I heard that you just injured someone?

The middle-aged man looked up, looked at Tang Yin's back, and said, "We want to see the king to seek justice, but they won't let us! "Then you can hurt people?" Tang Yin said without turning his head: "Whoever hurts someone will receive twenty boards. The leaders among you can go to the palace and speak out your grievances and matters. The king will listen carefully."

The matter was so serious that the dozen rangers had already given up, thinking that none of them would survive. Unexpectedly, the king was willing to meet them, and the punishment for them was only twenty boards, which surprised and delighted everyone.

The middle-aged man in the lead hurriedly got up from the ground and was about to enter the palace, but Ah San and Ah Si came forward to stop him. The two of them nodded to the guards on the left and right, and several people came forward immediately, searched the middle-aged man carefully from head to toe, and did not leave even a copper coin on him. They searched all of them and let him go.

The middle-aged man was obviously very dissatisfied with this, but he gritted his teeth and held back his temper. Under the guidance of Ah San and Ah Si and other guards, he entered the palace and met Tang Yin in the lobby of the palace.

Tang Yin sat lazily in the middle, leaning to one side, supporting his head with one hand, and asked, "Who are you? What's your grievance?"

"Back to your Majesty, the villain's name is Zhang Tong, and he is the leader of the Lingdong Caravan. The villain's injustice is caused by the Majesty!" The middle-aged man had a rough appearance and a straightforward temper. He said in one breath like a barrage of cannons: " The imperial court and the rangers have always been in harmony with each other, but now, the king has intervened in the affairs of the rangers, openly supporting the Xiaoyao sect, and intending to promote Xiaoyao sect Zhang Dong as the leader of the rangers, giving orders to all parties. Once someone disobeys, Xiaoyao sect and the court will join forces. To punish him, not long ago, Zhou Chong, the leader of the Fengpin Hall in Lingdong, stood up to express his dissatisfaction on behalf of the Lingdong Rangers. As a result, Zhou Chong died tragically at home three days later, leaving his whole family and more than fifty disciples without a trace. Also, the king doesn’t give us rangers a way to survive. If we don’t come to the king for our grievances, who will we go to?”

While the middle-aged man Zhang Tong was talking, Cheng Jin floated in silently from outside like a ghost and stood in the most inconspicuous corner of the lobby. His eyes were deep and he was watching Zhang Tong silently, but his hand had already been pressed. On the hilt of the knife at the waist.

While Tang Yin listened to Zhang Tong's words, he raised his eyes to look at Cheng Jin in the corner. After the latter met Tang Yin's eyes, he immediately lowered his head. The implication was that what Zhang Tong said was the truth, and this matter was indeed a hidden attack. do.

well! He shook his head secretly. He asked Hidden Arrow to help Zhang Dong, but instead of helping him in such a big way, who should be eliminated and what thorns should be pulled out should be done secretly. It would be better now to direct the Ranger's dissatisfaction and spearhead to On myself. This is really like being shot while lying down!

In fact, it is not that secret arrows are spread everywhere. Secret arrows always act in a low-key manner, and this time is no exception. The person who publicized this matter was Zhang Dong. Zhang Dong knew very well what he was doing. He wanted to renew his orders to the gangs, but few gangs would listen to him. He took the initiative to use the banner of the imperial court in order to force the gangs to take the initiative to support him, which resulted in polarization. Some gangs were frightened by the intervention of the imperial court and indeed expressed their surrender to Zhang Dong, while other gangs were very dissatisfied and looked down on Zhang Dong. This group is also the mainstream of the current Feng Kingdom Ranger community.

After Zhang Tong finished speaking, Tang Yin was silent for a moment thoughtfully, and said: "I am very sad about Fengpintang. I still have to investigate in detail who did it. However, I recommend Zhang Tong Dong’s status as leader will not change. In extraordinary times, I have every reason to intervene in the internal affairs of your rangers.”

After all, the king still doesn't want to give the ranger a way to survive! Zhang Tong's anxious eyes almost turned red, he opened his mouth and shouted urgently: "Your Majesty..."

Tang Yin waved his hand, interrupted what he was saying, and asked: "Has Gang Leader Zhang ever heard of Niefengliu?"

Against the current? Zhang Tong shook his head with a confused look on his face and said, "I don't know!"

"Then you should know about the Ning Gang, right?"

"The Ning Gang will naturally know."

"As far as we know from the information currently available, Nifengliu is a mysterious gang composed of Ningren rangers. Now they have all penetrated into Fengdi and wantonly annexed and eradicated our Fengren ranger gang. The purpose is to form a force that can compete with the imperial court. Opposing forces. Not long ago, the frequent assassinations of our Fengguo officials were caused by Nifengliu. Now, you should understand why I have to choose a leader, right? , very simple, I can trust him, because his Xiaoyaomen was once the target of Nifengliu to annex and eradicate, and other gangs, I don’t know if they have been annexed or bribed by Nifengliu. In addition, Fengpintang. The tragedy may not be the fault of the imperial court or Xiaoyaomen. It is also possible that Nifengliu deliberately placed the blame on others. The more chaotic our Feng country is, the more chaotic the Rangers are. The happier Nifengliu is and the more opportunities he has to take advantage of it. Gang leader Zhang, you Don’t be easily provoked by your enemies!”

Tang Yin's words made Zhang Tong take a breath, his face changed drastically, and Cheng Jin's hand dropped from the handle of the knife.

"Does your Majesty really mean what he says?"

"If you don't believe it, you can think back. Before Zhang Dong became the leader of the alliance, mass murders often occurred in our ranger gang in Fengdi. Moreover, the murderers were extremely cruel and never left a single person alive." Tang Yin's eyes flashed, Youyou said.

Thinking back carefully, Tang Yin's words were true. Such things did often happen at that time. It's just that there are often conflicts between the Ranger gangs, and there are countless people with deep grudges. Killing each other and retaliating are commonplace. No one took it to heart at the time, but now that I think about it, these massacres of family members are not simple.

Zhang Tong was speechless for a while and was speechless for a long time.

Tang Yin let out a long sigh and said: "The only way out is for the Fengren Rangers to unite to fight against Nifengliu. Otherwise, they will either perish or be swallowed up by the Ningren. I think this is something Gang Leader Zhang doesn't want to see anyway, right? "

"Yes, yes, yes!" Now the anger and anger in Zhang Tong's heart have been wiped away, and what is left is nothing but shock or shock. He murmured: "How can I, the Fengren gang, obey orders from Ningren?
