"Is this happening?!" Tang Yin asked in a solemn voice, "Who is the other party?"
"It's not clear yet. But the rangers who are causing trouble keep saying that they want to see the king." Lei Zhen said: "The soldiers of the Duwei camp have blocked all the streets near the palace. As long as the king gives the order, none of the rangers who come to make trouble can escape."
Tang Yin thought for a while, waved his hand and said: "Don't do anything yet, I'll go back and see what's going on." After speaking, he lowered his head and said to Yin Rou: "Rou'er, I have to take a step first, your sweet-scented osmanthus.
I’ll try the 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 warned him uneasily: "Be careful!"
"I know, don't worry." Tang Yin patted her hand and then strode out.
Yin Rou was still worried and said to Lei Zhen: "General Lei, please protect the king's safety."
"Yes! Your Highness, I'm leaving!" Until this moment, Lei Zhen dared to raise his head and look at Yin Rou. He had never seen Yin Rou before, and when he saw her appearance clearly, he was shocked and secretly said, "How beautiful! No!"
Dare to have other thoughts, Lei Zhen bowed and retreated, followed Tang Yin out of the palace and returned to the palace.
When Tang Yin returned to the palace, there was a lot of excitement outside. A large number of soldiers gathered at both ends of the street, three floors inside and three floors outside, blocking the street in front of the palace. Seeing the king coming on horseback, people behaved themselves.
Tang Yin quickly retreated to the left and right, and opened a passage. Tang Yin urged his horse to pass through the crowd and arrived in front of the main entrance of the palace.
There are more soldiers here, not only Cheng Jin, Letian, and Ai Jia are here, but also generals such as Wu Guang and Jiang Fan. Looking to the center of the crowd, there is a group of civilians in casual clothes, ranging in age.
But the youngest one is about thirty years old. Without looking carefully, you can tell that they are all spiritual cultivators just by feeling the spiritual pressure emanating from them.
"Who are you?" Tang Yin came forward and sat on his horse, looking down at everyone.
"Who are you?" A strong man in his thirties glared at Tang Yin and asked in a loud voice.
On weekdays, Tang Yin did not have the habit of wearing royal clothes, and he dressed casually. At best, he looked like a rich man from a good family. Hearing the other party's question, the faces of the generals around him changed. Tang Yin actually smiled and asked:
"Who are you looking for?"
"Your Majesty!" 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 do you think you are..." Halfway through his words, he reacted suddenly, with 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, "That's right!"
The dozens of rangers looked at each other with doubtful expressions on their faces. They didn't know for a moment whether what Tang Yin said was true or false. At this time, Brother Shangguan shouted: "You don't bow to your Majesty when you see him?"
Tang Yin said so, so they might not believe it, but General Feng Jun said the same thing, so they couldn't help but not believe it. A dozen rangers were shocked, and they all knelt down in unison, kowtowing, and said, "Goodbye, little man."
King!"
Judging by their accents, these rangers are all talented people, and they can even salute him, so they don't look like they have any malicious intentions. Tang Yin sighed secretly, raised his head and said, "Everyone, get up!"
"We have been wronged, and I hope the king will make it clear!" None of the rangers stood up, and the middle-aged man in the middle still knocked his head on the ground and said loudly.
Is there any grievance? Tang Yin has never encountered such a thing before. His mind is full of inexplicable grievances. If he doesn't find the local city lord, county chief, or county chief, why should he come to see him? He frowned and said: "Get up first and then talk about it."
With that said, he dismounted from his horse, handed the reins to the attendant beside him, and walked into the palace and said, "I heard that you just injured someone?"
The middle-aged man raised his head, looked at Tang Yin's back, and said, "I want to see the king to redress my grievances, but they won't allow me!"
"Then you can injure people?" Tang Yin said without looking back: "Whoever injures someone should get twenty pieces of bread for themselves. The leader among you can enter the palace and speak out if you have an grievance or have something to say.
, I will listen carefully."
The matter was so big that these dozens of rangers had already risked their lives, thinking that none of them would survive. Unexpectedly, the king was really willing to meet them, and the punishment for them was only twenty pieces of board, which surprised everyone.
surprise.
The middle-aged man at the head hurriedly got up from the ground and was about to enter the palace. Asan and Asan both stepped forward to stop him. The two of them spoke to the guards on the left and right, and several people immediately stepped forward and covered the middle-aged man from head to head.
The footmen searched him carefully and found not even a single copper coin was left on him. They took them all away and then let him go.
The middle-aged man was obviously extremely dissatisfied with this, but he gritted his teeth and held back from having an attack. Under the guidance of Asan, Asan, and other guards, he entered the palace and saw Tang Yin in the lobby of the palace.
Tang Yin sat lazily in the middle, leaning to one side, supporting the side of his head with one hand, and asked: "Who are you? What grievances do you have?"
"Back to your Majesty, the villain's name is Zhang Tong, and he is the leader of the Lingdong Caravan. The villain's injustice was 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 firecrackers: "
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, intending to promote the Xiaoyao Sect, Zhang Dong, as the leader of the Rangers Alliance, and giving orders to all parties.
, once someone disobeys, Xiaoyaomen and the imperial court will join forces to punish them. Not long ago, Zhou Chong, the leader of Lingdong Fengpin Hall, stood up on behalf of Lingdong Rangers to express his dissatisfaction. As a result, Zhou Chong died tragically at home three days later.
The whole family, including all the children, and more than 50 of the disciples, have not survived. Your Majesty is not giving us rangers a way to survive. If we don’t come to you to express 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.
What you did.
Alas! 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 put all the dissatisfaction and spearhead of the ranger.
It was brought to me. I was shot even while I was lying down!
In fact, it's not that secret arrows are spread everywhere. Secret arrows are always low-key, and this time is no exception. The person who publicized this matter is Zhang Dong. Zhang Dong is very aware of his own insecurities. He wants to command the heroes, but few gangs will listen to him.
Yes, he took the initiative to use the banner of the imperial court,
He wanted to force the gangs to take the initiative to defect to 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
Some of them are also the current mainstream in the 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. Who did it? I still have to investigate in detail. However, I recommend Zhang Tong.
The fact that Dong is the leader of the alliance 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 anxiously: "Your Majesty..."
Tang Yin waved his hand, interrupted what he was saying, and asked: "Has Gang Leader Zhang ever heard of Niefengliu?"
Going against the wind? 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?"
"Ning Bang naturally knows."
"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.
Competing forces. Not long ago, the frequent assassinations of our Feng Kingdom officials were caused by Nifengliu. Now, you should be able to understand why I have to choose a leader, right?! As for why it is Zhang Dong
, very simple, my king
You can trust him, because his Xiaoyao Sect was once the target of Nifengliu to annex and eradicate. As for other gangs, I don’t know if they have been annexed or bribed by Nifengliu. In addition, the tragedy of Fengpintang may not be
It is also possible that Nifengliu deliberately placed the blame on others for what the imperial court or Xiaoyaomen did. The more chaotic our Feng country is, the more chaotic the Rangers are, the happier Nifengliu is and the more opportunities they have to take advantage of it. Gang leader Zhang, don’t accept your enemies easily.
Provoke!"
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 recall that before Zhang Dong became the leader, 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. However, there were often conflicts between the Ranger gangs. There were countless people with deep grudges. They killed each other and revenge was commonplace. No one took it to heart at that time.
But now that I think about it, these massacres of massacres 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. What's left is nothing but shock. He murmured: "How can I, the Fengren gang, obey orders from Ningren? What's more?
