"Not the Yin family!" As soon as Zhen Fu finished speaking, Chang Bin couldn't wait to raise his head and correct him.
He looked at Liu Xiu and muttered dissatisfiedly, you clearly saw Wang Yuan, why did you take out the waistband you picked up and slam the shit basin on the Yin family's head?
"Not the Yin family?" Zhen Fu looked at Liu Xiu, then at Chang Bin, shook the waist badge in his hand, and asked, "Didn't you pick up the Yin family's waist badge on the spot?"
Chang Bin sighed, pondered for a moment, and told the whole story.
This time, he fell into Wang Jing's trick. Wang Jing deliberately invited them to dinner. During this period, Wang Jing repeatedly emphasized that Nanyang was not peaceful and that the Green Forest Army often appeared. He hinted that they brought too few guards and that there might be an accident along the way.
Next, Wang Jing naturally proposed to send someone to help them escort Yin Lihua, and he and Hu Ying were happy to accept his favor, so they happily accepted it.
So on the way, they had no defense against Wang Yuan and his party. They never expected that Wang Yuan and his party would be so courageous. They would poison their meals and not only stun them, but also kill them all to silence them.
Then he kept the Yin family's belt and blamed the whole thing on the Yin family.
This is Chang Bin's understanding of the whole thing. In fact, his understanding is completely correct. This is what Wang Jing had in mind.
After listening to his story, Zhen Fu's brows knitted into knots. He stared at Chang Bin for a long time and asked, "You mean, Wang Jing was behind the whole thing secretly?"
"Brother-in-law, that old thief Wang Jing is no longer causing trouble in secret, but he has made it clear that he wants to silence us and put the blame on the Yin family!"
Zhen Fu took a breath and asked in confusion: "But why did Wang Jing do this?"
"This..." Chang Bin hesitated for a moment, and Liu Xiu suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly: "Sir, I remembered something!"
"Oh? What's the matter?"
Liu Xiu said: "A few days ago, on the Xiayuan Festival, Miss Yin went to a Taoist temple to worship. On the way, Miss Yin was besieged by hungry people and was almost kidnapped by them. Later, after investigation by the Yin family, they found out that those hungry people were
Instigated by the Wang family."
Chang Bin clapped his hands fiercely and said anxiously: "This is the right number! After such a thing happened, can Miss Yin not bear grudges against Wang Jing? If Miss Yin is really allowed to enter the palace and become the imperial concubine, the first
The unlucky one is Wang Jing! So Wang Jing couldn't let Miss Yin enter the capital no matter what. This time he sent someone to kidnap Miss Yin, which not only prevented Miss Yin from entering the capital, but also blamed the Yin family for disobeying the emperor's order.
It can be said that you kill two birds with one stone, brother-in-law, this plan is extremely vicious!"
Snapped!
Zhen Fu was so angry that he slammed the table, which shocked Liu Xiu and Chang Bin who were present. Wang Jing killed two birds with one stone, but three birds with one stone, harming Yin Lihua and the Yin family.
He is also harming himself.
As the prefect of Nanyang, he lost his majesty's quasi-imperial concubine in the place under his jurisdiction. The superiors blamed him. What should I explain to his majesty? He gritted his teeth and said: "This old man..."
While speaking, he looked at the waist card in his hand again, narrowed his eyes, and his mind turned around, asking: "Is it possible that Wang Yuan was bribed by the Yin family to frame Wang Jing on purpose?"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Xiu and Chang Bin were stunned. Neither of them thought about this aspect, and they didn't know how to answer for a while.
After hesitating for a long time, Chang Bin said cautiously: "No way! Wang Yuan is Wang Jing's confidant, can the Yin family bribe him?"
Liu Xiu answered: "Mr. Chang, didn't we arrest a few people alive? Bring the prisoners to the county seat, and they will be found out at the first trial!"
Zhen Fu asked: "Are they still alive? Where are they now?"
Chang Bin hurriedly said: "Brother-in-law, I didn't take those three people back to the county town. I sent people to Jiyang nearby, and asked Jiyang people to send people to escort them to the county town. At that time, there were only a dozen of us left.
I'm worried about another accident happening on the way."
Zhen Fu nodded in understanding, patted Chang Bin on the shoulder and said, "Not bad, you've thought it through very carefully!"
As he spoke, he looked at Liu Xiu again, nodded with a smile, and said softly: "Uncle Wen, you have made a great contribution this time. If you hadn't happened to pass by, I'm afraid now..." He looked at Chang Bin and smiled bitterly.
Shaked his head.
If Liu Xiu and others had not passed by, Chang Bin would have died under the butcher's knife of Wang Yuan and others.
"Sir, it's just a little effort for us to do!"
Zhen Fu waved his hand and said: "Uncle Wen, you and your friends will stay in the prefect's mansion first, and I will find the best doctor in the county to treat your injuries." As he spoke, he turned to ask Chang
Bin said: "How are you?"
"Brother-in-law, I'm fine!"
"Okay then, you come with me to Xinye."
"when?"
"Now!" Zhen Fu said in a solemn voice, "I want to see what Wang Jing will say in front of me!"
Liu Xiu said seriously: "Sir, let me go with you!"
"Uncle Wen, the injuries on your body..."
"Sir, it's just a few skin injuries, nothing to worry about!" Liu Xiu said seriously.
Zhen Fu pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Okay, but I'd better ask the doctor to come over and take a look at you."
As he spoke, he called his servant from outside and asked the servant to go to the doctor immediately. In addition, he asked someone to inform Cen Peng and asked him to order a thousand county troops to go to Xinye with him.
The doctor came quickly and re-bandaged the wounds of Liu Xiu, Deng Yu, Zhu You, and Gai Yan. They also changed into clean clothes. Then they followed Zhen Fu out of the city overnight to Xinye. Now Zhen Fu could only
He secretly prayed in his heart that after the Wang family kidnapped Yin Lihua, they did not kill her immediately, but temporarily placed her under house arrest. Only by finding Yin Lihua could he report to the court. Otherwise, he would not be able to pass the court's sentence.
close.
Zhen Fu led a thousand county troops and traveled all night, finally arriving at Xinye the next morning.
As soon as I arrived in Xinye and before I entered the city, I saw the people leaving the city whispering to each other and talking about it, as if something big had happened in the city. Zhenfu asked someone to bring over a commoner. He looked around and saw that he was an ordinary middle-aged villager.
, he asked: "What's your name?"
"Replying to your lord, the villain Zhang Hua." The middle-aged villager had never seen a high official before, and he didn't know what kind of official Zhen Fu was. However, seeing that he had so many soldiers, he knew that the official must be quite big. When he replied, he was frightened.
He shivered and his face changed color.
Zhen Fu said with a gloomy face: "Zhang Hua, you don't have to be afraid. As long as you answer my questions truthfully, I won't embarrass you! I want to ask you, is there anything going on in the city?"
"Master...don't you know yet?"
"what do you know?"
"Last night, the Yin family and the Wang family got into a fight!"
"Ah?" Zhen Fu looked at Liu Xiu and Chang Bin inexplicably. They also looked at a loss, and Monk Zhang Er was confused.
Zhen Fu asked: "Exactly what happened, please explain clearly!"
The middle-aged villager said: "Sir, villain... I just heard it from hearsay. I don't know if the news is accurate..."
"Just say it, even if you are wrong, I won't blame you!"
Seeing that although Zhen Fu, a high-ranking official, had an ugly face, his words were quite polite. The middle-aged villager became a lot more courageous. He cleared his throat and said, "It is said that the reason why the eldest daughter of the Yin family was
The emperor's selection and concubine were all made secretly by the Wang family. Some time ago, the Wang family even sent people to assassinate the eldest daughter of the Yin family. The Yin family was very angry. Last night, they sent several groups of people to kill several members of the Wang family outside the city.
All the houses were set on fire. People from the Wang family went to the Yin family to argue, but they were beaten down by the Yin family. Now the Yin family has surrounded the Wang family's house."
Zhen Fu squinted his eyes and listened carefully. While listening, he was thinking about it in his heart.
He had an approximate number in mind as to how many retainers each of the Yin family and the Wang family had, Huyuan.
To be precise, he knew how many retainers and nursing homes the noble families in Nanyang County had in their homes.
In his impression, the retainers of the Yin family and the Wang family are roughly the same as those in the nursing home. Even if the Yin family is slightly stronger, it is not much stronger.
And last night, the Yin family actually burned down the Wang family's village outside the city overnight, and now they have surrounded the Wang family's main residence in the city. Could it be that all the Wang family members are dead?
He asked: "People from the Yin family are still surrounding the Wang family's house?"
"Yes, sir, I just went to watch the excitement. The Yin family surrounded the Wang family's house, and the Wang family huddled in the house, not daring to show their heads at all. They made such a big noise, and they were still Yin.
When the Wang family started fighting, even the county government didn't dare to take care of it..." At this point, the middle-aged villager shrank his neck and did not dare to say more.
Zhen Fu grunted, nodded, and asked his men to reward the middle-aged villager with a few copper coins and send him away.
After the middle-aged villager took the copper coins and left happily, Chang Bin said harshly: "Brother-in-law, do you understand now? What happened last night cannot be done by the Yin family, it can only be done by Wang Jing."
Why! People from the Wang family were not in Xinye at all last night. They were all on the road plotting to kidnap Miss Yin. However, people from the Yin family were all in Xinye, so they were able to burn down the Wang family's village overnight.
They surrounded the main residence of the Wang family and beat the Wang family until they were unable to fight back!"
This is indeed what happened! Zhen Fu's face became more and more gloomy and cold, and he hated Wang Jing so much that his teeth itched. He took a deep breath, waved his hand forward, and shouted in a loud voice: "The whole army is entering the city, and anyone who resists will be killed."
!”
"Yes!" the officers and soldiers of the county army shouted in unison.
A thousand county troops headed by Zhen Fu went straight to the Wang family's house. As the middle-aged villager said, the Wang family's house had been surrounded by the Yin family, and the siege was so tight that there was no way to get through.
Seeing the sudden arrival of so many officers and soldiers, the Yin family who besieged the Wang family's house were also startled. The two brothers Yin Shi and Yin Xing walked out of the crowd, walked quickly to the officers and soldiers, and asked: "I don't know which master is leading the army?"
Come?"
"It's me!" Following the words, Zhen Fu walked out of the carriage. Seeing that the person who came was actually the prefect, Yin Shi and Yin Xing were stunned for a moment, then they both cupped their hands and saluted. Yin Xing said with a cold face: "It turns out to be Lord Zhen! Unexpectedly
This incident in my new field has alarmed the governor, and why he led his troops here on a special trip, isn't it too much of a fuss?!"
Yin Shi pulled Yin Xing and told him to stop talking. He raised his hands to Zhen Fu and said, "Sir, this is a personal grudge between my Yin family and the Wang family. I hope you won't interfere!"
Zhen Fu didn't like the two brothers Yinshi and Yinxing, and felt that they were too disrespectful. However, he hated Wang Jing even more now and wanted to peel off his skin, pull out his tendons, and break his bones.
He ignored Yinshi and Yinxing and walked directly between them.
He is the prefect, the biggest in Nanyang County, and no one dares to block his way.
As Zhen Fu walked in, the Yin family members who surrounded the main entrance of the palace gave way to both sides. Zhen Fu walked to the main entrance of the palace unimpeded. His face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He turned his head and said: "Call the door."
