Chapter 74 of the final volume The guards said that Jin Liren is the deputy general of Guan Ning, the lieutenant commander of Chuan Guolang, and the second-in-command in charge of the palace guards, the military rank is not very high, but he is in a high position and power, and he directly controls the security of the palace. 78 updates 78 novels the fastest After listening to the guard's words, Xiao Xiang asked, "Does General Jin have any explanation of what happened when he left the palace?"
The guard shook his head and said, "General Jin didn't say anything, and the villain didn't dare to ask more." ” "Is he alone," Xiao Xiang asked casually.
"No," the guard replied hesitantly.
Xiao Xiang looked at him strangely and asked, "It's not him, then how many people did he take out of the palace?"
"This," the guard stammered, "the villain didn't see it clearly. ” Xiao Xiang smiled and said, "How did you become a guard at the East Gate, can't you even see how many people are out of the palace?"
"Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't know anything, it's not that the villain is sloppy, but there are too many brothers who went out of the palace with General Jin, no less than four or five hundred, and the villain really hasn't had time to count the specific number of people, so he doesn't dare to speak in front of Her Royal Highness the princess."
When four or five hundred people heard this, Xiao Xiang and Ren Fang were both shocked, weren't four or five hundred people exactly the number of gangsters that night At this time, Ren Xin's jump suddenly accelerated, he suddenly spoke, and asked urgently: "When did General Jin leave the palace and what time did he return to the palace, and the number of people will change when he returns to the palace?"
Ren Fang asked a few questions in one breath, and also asked the guard dizzy.
He pondered for a while, and then said: "General Jin came out of the palace at the moment of the child, and returned to the palace when the sky was almost ugly, whether the number of people has changed, the villain doesn't remember, but General Jin did bring three carriages back to the palace, and since it was the team led by General Jin, we didn't dare to search the carriage." ” After hearing this, Ren Fang froze, and after a while, he turned his head to look at Xiao Xiang silently.
If it is calculated according to the point in time, then the time when Jin Liren left the palace and returned to the palace coincided with the time when his family was kidnapped.
And the number of people brought by Jin Liren is also comparable to the number of gangsters, in addition, when the gangsters seized the Ren Mansion, they were orderly and strictly forbidden by military discipline, which was no different from the regular army, but there was no army more regular than the palace guards.
There is also a very important clue, Jin Liren didn't bring a carriage when he left the palace, but when he returned to the palace, he brought a carriage, and it was three, which was enough to accommodate his kidnapped family members.
It's just that he can't understand that Jin Liren is the deputy general in charge of the palace guards, and his official position and status are extraordinary, how could he take such a big risk to kidnap his own family?
He looked at Xiao Xiang and asked her opinion with his eyes.
At this time, Xiao Xiang was also a little at a loss, could it be that this matter really had something to do with Jin Liren She was silent for a long time, and said to the guard: "You go back first, this palace is not allowed to mention to anyone about what you asked today, if the slightest rumor leaks, this palace wants your head, understand?"
The guard was so frightened that he dared to say half a word, nodded again and again, and responded: "Yes, yes, yes, even if the villain is killed, the villain will not leak a word to the outside." ” "En" Xiao Xiang nodded and waved at him.
The chief guard sighed, wiped his sweat, and then gave Xiao Xiang and Ren Fang a salute before turning around and leaving.
After he left, Ren Fang couldn't wait to ask: "Princess, will the kidnapping of the last general's family really have anything to do with General Jin?"
Xiao Xiang shook his head slowly and said, "I'm not sure yet, after all, we have no evidence in our hands.
As she spoke, she turned back to the accompanying guards and said, "Swing the car, the palace is going home." ” Seeing that Xiao Xiang didn't plan to pursue it further, Ren Fang was in a hurry, so he asked in a condensed voice: "Why did the princess suddenly not investigate, but because it was related to General Jin, the princess didn't plan to pursue it further."
Ren rest assured that the big leaders of the palace guards like Lang Zhongling Guan Ning and Deputy General Jin Liren are all close ministers of the royal family, and the relationship with the royal family is too close, otherwise, it is impossible to sit in this position, and he is really worried that Xiao Xiang will retreat, so he will not interfere anymore.
Xiao Xiang smiled at Ren Fang and said: "General Ren can rest assured, since this palace said to help you, I will definitely help you to the end, but now I know that this matter may be related to General Jin, and this palace can't continue to investigate in the palace, so I have to change the people below to investigate." ” Ren Fang nodded again and again in a sudden realization, and at the same time secretly scolded himself for being confused, Jin Liren is the deputy general of the palace guards, and naturally there are many eyeliners in the palace, if Xiao Xiang investigates it personally, the target is too big, and he will definitely not be able to hide it from Jin Liren, if it arouses his vigilance, his family is afraid that it will be more than lucky.
"The princess is going to do it" "Let's talk about it when we get out of the palace" Xiao Xiang nodded to Ren Fang and left quickly.
Ren Fang answered, and hurriedly followed.
Ren Fang returned to the princess's mansion with Xiao Xiang, did not leave, and kept waiting for news.
Xiao Xiang was very relaxed, as if she had already made up her mind, and in the afternoon she went back to her bedroom to sleep, and in the evening, Xiao Xiang's men brought back a person, a palace guard.
This person was taken directly into the dungeon of the Princess's Mansion, the dungeon of the Princess's Mansion is not very large, and the location is not hidden, and Ren Fang's subordinates have searched this place at the beginning.
The guard, who was disheveled, had a blue nose and swollen face, and had apparently had fought before being taken to the princess's mansion, when he was tied to a wooden shelf inside the dungeon, his eyes covered with a thick black cloth.
Although he has become someone's fish on the board, his mouth has not been idle, and he shouted repeatedly: "Who are you, why do you want to arrest me, do you know who Lao Tzu is, Lao Tzu is a palace guard, now let me go, I can still save you a dog's life, if you dare to touch a hair of Lao Tzu, I will break your corpse into thousands of pieces, crush your bones and scatter ashes" When Xiao Xiang and Ren Fang came in, what they heard was the continuous intimidation of the palace guard.
Ren Fang frowned, looked at Xiao Xiang and asked in a low voice, "Princess, this person is" Xiao Xiang smiled and did not answer him, but raised his chin slightly to his subordinates.
The big men on the left and right understood, and one of them walked to the wooden shelf, raised his fist, and hit the guard in the stomach with a heavy punch.
The punch was so strong that it distorted the guard's facial features together, and he screamed in a trembling voice, "You fucking thing" The big man raised his hand, slapped him again, and then ripped the black cloth off his eyes.
The strip of cloth covering his eyes was suddenly removed, and the guard's eyes were a little unable to open, and his eyes narrowed for a while before they fit the light in the dungeon.
He first looked around with grinning teeth, and finally, his eyes fell on Xiao Xiang and Ren Fang.
When he saw Xiao Xiang and Ren Fang, his body was shocked, and his face changed greatly, he was stunned for a moment, and said urgently: "Yes, Her Royal Highness the Princess, why did Her Royal Highness the Princess bring the villain here?"
Xiao Xiang held a handkerchief in one hand, hid it in front of her nose, and said slowly: "Your name is Zhang Tong."
"It's the villain."
"Don't you know the purpose of this palace to arrest you here" Xiao Xiang's eyes lit up, and he stared at Zhang Tong coldly.
Zhang Tong's face changed again, he pretended to be calm, and said: "The villain offended Her Royal Highness the princess somewhere, and asked Her Royal Highness the princess to make it clear."
When Xiao Xiang heard this, he lowered his head and looked away.
The big man on the side had been waiting impatiently, and seeing Xiao Xiang's displeasure, he didn't say a word, picked up the sticky whip, and whipped Zhang Tong more than a dozen times.
These dozen whips can be said to be whipping into the flesh, whipping into the blood, Zhang Tong's clothes were pulled out one by one, and the skin and flesh under the clothes were opened, as if they had been cut by a knife.
Zhang Tong also let out a scream like killing a pig, and shouted: "The princess spares her life, the princess spares her life."
Xiao Xiang turned her head to the side and turned back to look at Zhang Tong.
Seeing this, the big man who was wielding the whip immediately stopped and retreated to the side.

She looked at Zhang Tong who was covered in blood with an expressionless face, and said quietly: "Since this palace can bring you here, it has already determined that you are a capital crime, if you want to live, tell everything you know." ” Zhang Tong's face was pale, his head was lowered, and blood was dripping down the corners of his mouth, which was the blood that oozed from between his teeth when he was tortured and gritted.
He said in a trembling voice: "The villain really doesn't know what crime he has committed."
When Xiao Xiang heard this, she immediately turned around, and at the same time said in a cold voice: "Is this the person you brought back to the palace?"
A big man standing next to him was scared into a cold sweat, his face turned from white to blue, and from blue to purple, he suddenly pulled out his saber from under his ribs, and strode to Zhang Tong's approach, the tip of the knife pressed against Zhang Tong's chest, and he was about to stab down.
"Wait a minute," Ren Fang suddenly spoke, stopping the big man.
He walked up to Zhang Tong and said in a deep voice: "That night, you went out of the palace with Jin Liren" At this time, Ren Fang had basically guessed the identity of the guard.
Zhang Tong's heart trembled, but he still pretended to be confused, and stammered and asked, "I don't know which night General Ren is referring to?"
Ren Fang shook his head at him, and said meaningfully: "You should be able to see that Her Royal Highness the Princess is not scaring you now, if you insist on refusing to tell the truth, not only will you die without a place to be buried, but you will also implicate the Nine Clans, not to mention that even if you don't open your mouth, your hundreds of brothers will not open their mouths, sooner or later, the truth will be revealed, why should you use your own and your family's lives to keep this secret that can't be kept at all?"
His words were like a blow to Zhang Tong, his body shook suddenly, and then he choked with a whimper.
He raised his head with difficulty, looked at Xiao Xiang, who had walked to the gate of the dungeon, and cried loudly: "The princess spares her life, the villain says, the villain says."
"The palace hasn't left yet" Xiao Xiang took back the steps he had taken, stood up and didn't move, and didn't turn around to look at him.
"The kidnapping of General Ren's family, that is completely General Jin's idea, and it has nothing to do with the villain, the villain is just acting on orders, the princess is clear, General Ren is clear" Zhang Tong's snot and tears flowed out together
