Chapter 70 of the final book Speaking of which, Ren Fang still refused to stand on his side, which made Xiao Xiang feel helpless and frustrated.
Baidu search: read the novel 78 "The domain name of this site is tstronggttstronggt point, please remember the domain name of this site" She said unwillingly: "General Ren, don't think that you can stay out of the matter by moving out of the capital and living in the barracks, they will not let you go, and may even implicate your family." ” Hearing this, Ren Fang's face immediately sank, and he said: "The princess threatens the last general so much, it really makes the last general panic." ” "It's not that Bengong is scaring you, but now that they are mad, they dare to assassinate Bengong in broad daylight, General Ren thinks that there is something they can't do, or they dare not do" Xiao Xiang reminded in a heavy tone.
"Thank you, Your Highness the Princess, for your warning, the last general knows."
Ren Fang nodded, but his face was still gloomy, and he didn't mean to continue.
He knew in his heart that under his repeated refusals, Xiao Xiang was already anxious, and what she said was just her angry words.
In fact, it was indeed Xiao Xiang's angry words, but how did she know that she was really unfortunate to be hit by her.
On the second day after Xiao Xiang went to find Ren Fang, in the middle of the night, Ren's Mansion in the center of Zhaoyang City was suddenly attacked by an incredible sneak attack, and it was not bandits or assassins who attacked Ren's Mansion, but soldiers wearing military uniforms and armor, numbering hundreds.
Under the banner of the Lieutenant's Mansion and carrying the certificate of the Lieutenant's Mansion, these Sichuan soldiers first surrounded the Ren Mansion in the name of allowing them to smuggle with the enemy country, and then forcibly rushed into the Mansion and kidnapped Ren Fang's elderly parents, his wife, children, and more than 10 people.
They came and went quickly, and it took less than a pillar of incense to add up to the front and back, and their actions were orderly, and their every move was very regular, and even after arresting people, they also pasted the seal of the lieutenant's mansion on the gate of the Ren Mansion.
It can be said that from the beginning to the end, there is no problem, that is, the lieutenant's mansion is arresting people and handling cases, so that the family members and nurses of the Ren Mansion dare not come forward to stop them, and after the soldiers have taken everyone away, the servants of the Ren Mansion ran to the uncle's mansion in a panic to report the news.
Although Ren Huaizhong's uncle Ren Huaizhong is not a high-ranking official in the court, he is also a third-grade imperial historian and can directly participate in court politics.
Hearing the news from Ren Mansion, he was full of inexplicability, the imperial court did not investigate Ren Fang, Ren Fang is still staying in the military camp outside the city, why did the Lieutenant's Mansion suddenly send someone to seal up Ren Mansion and arrest more than ten people.
Ren Huaizhong sent someone to the military camp outside the city to report to Ren Fang, and at the same time rushed to the lieutenant's mansion in person to ask what was going on.
When he arrived, the lieutenant's mansion was peaceful and calm, there was no lantern in the yamen, and Lieutenant Yu Qing was not there, only a minor official of the lieutenant's mansion was on duty, and there was not the slightest hint that he wanted to handle a big case.
Hearing that Ren Huaizhong was visiting in the imperial history, the little official of the lieutenant's mansion did not dare to slack off at all and greeted him in person.
After the meeting, Ren Huaizhong asked the lieutenant's mansion why he wanted to arrest Ren Fang's family, seal up Ren Fang's mansion, and what crime Ren Fang had committed The official of the Lieutenant's Mansion was completely confused by Ren Huaizhong's continuous questioning, and his second monk was puzzled, when did the Lieutenant's Mansion send someone to seal up Ren's Mansion, and let alone arrest Ren Fang's family Ren Fang is a dignified general, the marquis of the Sichuan State, who holds the command of three Zhongyng army corps in his hands, if he commits a crime, the lieutenant's palace will definitely not be able to find him, and the king and the imperial court will send high-ranking officials to investigate.
After Ren Huaizhong finished speaking, the official shook his head again and again, and said: "Lord Ren, is there any misunderstanding in this, look at it, there are only a few people in our Lieutenant's Mansion tonight, how can we go to seal up Ren's Mansion?"
Even if he didn't say it, Ren Huaizhong also saw that there was a problem, and he asked the family who reported the news to come over, and asked in a deep voice: "Are you sure that it is the Ren Mansion that was seized by the Lieutenant's Mansion?"
"Yes, Second Master, those officers and soldiers have the token of the Lieutenant's Mansion, as well as the Lieutenant's Lord's edict, and the seal also has the words Lieutenant's Mansion on it, it can't be wrong."
"Impossible" Before Ren Huaizhong could speak, the officials of the Lieutenant's Mansion shook their heads again and again, and said: "The Lieutenant is resting at home now, and he hasn't come to the Lieutenant's Mansion at all, and even the Lieutenant's official seal is still in the lobby, where did the edict come from?"
"Oh this" Ding Ding was speechless, he didn't know what was going on, the officers and soldiers who seized the Ren Mansion did claim to be from the Lieutenant's Mansion, and they did take out the lieutenant's edict, as for whether it was true or not, it was not for him, a subordinate, to distinguish.
At this time, Ren Huaizhong realized that something was wrong, and he also realized that the matter was serious, if it wasn't done by the people from the Lieutenant's Mansion, who would have done it, and who would have done it Ren's Mansion was seized by a group of officers and soldiers of unknown origin, and it was also under the banner of the Lieutenant's Mansion, and the worst thing was that Ren Fang's family members were taken away, which was not a trivial matter, and soon, the matter spread throughout the city, and Lieutenant Yu Qing also rushed to Ren's Mansion to check in person.
There is also a seal of the Lieutenant's Mansion on the door of the Ren Mansion, and the seal is clearly covered with the big seal of the Lieutenant's Mansion, which is definitely a genuine seal from the Lieutenant's Mansion, but Yu Qing is like a mirror in his heart, he has never given such an order, let alone let people arrest Ren Fang's family and seal the Ren Mansion, what is going on Soon, Lian Renfang also led a large group of personal soldiers back to the city, and after asking the reason for the whole incident, he could basically conclude that his family must have been kidnapped by gangsters, and this group of gangsters is by no means ordinary bandits, they can disguise themselves as people from the Lieutenant's Mansion, and they can disguise themselves without flaws, and even such an important thing as the seal of the Lieutenant's Mansion can get their hands on it, which shows the high ability of these gangsters.
In order to get rid of his suspicion, Yu Qing worked hard to handle the case, ordered the city gates of Zhaoyang to be blocked, and dispatched all the officers and soldiers of the Lieutenant's Mansion to search the whole city door to door, vowing to find out the traces of the gangsters and the whereabouts of the family members.
However, how can the huge Zhaoyang City be investigated in a moment and a half, and besides, the actions of this group of gangsters are so thorough, how can it be so easy for you to find out the clues.
In order to find his family, Ren Fang also exerted all his strength, mobilizing the officers and men of the Fifth and Seventh Regiments to participate in the search for the gangsters.
The Lieutenant's Mansion plus the Fifth and Seventh Army Corps, together with the defenders of the capital, had a total strength of more than 300,000 people, and carried out a carpet search in Zhaoyang City, and the result was that the search was three days, and after three days, there were no clues on all sides, and the hundreds of fake officers and soldiers and the kidnapped Ren Fang's family members seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and no one was alive or dead.
Now there are only two possibilities, either the gangsters have left Zhaoyang, or the gangsters are hiding in a place that has not yet been searched.
Since the defenders of the city gates did not see any soldiers escorting people out of the city on the night of the incident, the first point can basically be ruled out, so only the second point remains.
However, all the places that can be searched have been searched, and there are no clues, and in the entire Zhaoyang City, there are only those places that cannot be searched.
These include the residences of court officials, the residences of princesses and princesses, and important places such as royal palaces.
These places are not easy to search, the palace and the princess, the princess's mansion needless to say, it is the land of the royal family, even the official residence of the ministers of the court is not what you want to search, that needs to have the king's edict, but now there is no monarch in Sichuan, how to talk about the king's edict This ri, the court of the Sichuan country.
After the ministers discussed the rebellion in Zhendi and some domestic affairs, the next topic of discussion was the kidnapping of Ren Fang's family.
Right Prime Minister Sima Zhaoyan spoke first, and asked Ren Fang with concern: "General Ren, there are clues about the kidnappers."
Now that Ren Fang has passed the stage of impatience, he is even prepared for the worst.
He shook his head slowly, and said in a heavy tone: "What is certain now is that the kidnappers have not left Zhaoyang, but they have not been able to find out their traces for the time being. ” Sima Zhaoyan 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 someone has not done their best to investigate the case, or is deliberately shielding the gangsters."
Alas, Yu Qing sighed in his heart, the words of the right minister are clearly aimed at him, and it is not good to handle the case, no matter who is responsible, there is no need to find it, and his lieutenant's office is duty-bound.
Yu Qing stepped out of the ranks, bowed deeply to Sima Zhaoyan, and said: "Prime Minister Sima, in the past three days, Xia Guan has not slept either, his eyes have almost never closed, he has been running around, investigating the clues of the gangsters, but he has never found anything, this is not that Xia Guan did not do his best, but he is really powerless."
"What a powerless one, if the first king is here, do you dare to say the four words powerless in front of the first king, so useless, what virtue do you have, how can you serve as a lieutenant," Sima Zhao reprimanded sternly.
The Lieutenant's Office is a special institution, it is not under the right minister, nor is it under the control of the left minister, but directly serves the monarch.
In the past, Sima Zhaoyan and Yu Qing had a good relationship, at least in the court, there would not be such a naked attack as now, since Xiao Xuan's death, everything has changed, the ministers in the court are divided into factions, some support Xiao Xiang, some support Xiao Ting, and some support Xiao Yuan, etc., the factions attack each other, fight openly and secretly, for colleagues from different factions, they can't wait to kill each other at once, and the peaceful atmosphere in the court of Sichuan has long disappeared without a trace.
That's exactly what is happening now.
Yu Qing supports Xiao Xiang, and Sima Zhaoyan supports the second son Xiao Yuan, and now it is not easy to catch Yu Qing's flaws, Sima Zhaoyan is willing to let go, and he is at odds with each other.
Seeing that Sima Zhaoyan was full of firepower and attacked Yu Qing, those ministers who supported Xiao Ting and Xiao Yuan also joined in, accusing Yu Qing of not being responsible, and even some ministers directly believed that he was related to the gangsters, otherwise, how could the gangsters pretend to be from his lieutenant's mansion, and how could they get the tokens and seals of the lieutenant's mansion:
