Chapter 323 Goal Achieved (please vote for me)

Fu Zhen walked in front of Xu Yin. Xu Yin looked up and pointed at her, then fell to his knees, lunged forward, and collapsed to the ground!
The guard next to him gave a sharp whistle, and the group of people who had withdrawn earlier came in response. However, Liang Zhi and Guo Song at the door moved faster. When the whistle sounded, dozens of figures rushed forward and intercepted all of them. Under the eaves!

Liang Zhi rushed to Xu Yin and was about to stab him in the chest with his long sword!
"Xu Thief! I will take your life to avenge my aunt!"

Pei Zhan reached out and took his arm: "It's not worth it! He is an imperial criminal who instigated the prince's rebellion. He must be taken back and left to the emperor's mercy."

Liang Zhi stared at the ground for a while, then reluctantly put the sword away.

Xu Yin had already passed out, and the mouthful of blood spurted out all over his clothes. The loose tendons would not directly cause death, but the news of the successive rebellions obviously made him completely desperate and lost his last hope. He also tensed up. Unable to hold on any longer, he spat out this mouthful of blood with all his strength, accelerating the effectiveness of Ruanjin San.

"Everyone go back to trial!"

Pei Zhan signaled Guo Song and others to deal with the aftermath.

Then he came to greet Fu Zhen to leave.

Fu Zhen had been looking at Xu Yin, and then suddenly knelt down and pressed Xu Yin's chest everywhere, then pulled open his clothes and took out a round jade.

Pei Zhan saw her stuffing the jade into her sleeve and coughed: "After all, you are old acquaintances. If you want to keep something from him, I understand. You won't tell the emperor."

Fu Zhen looked at him and smiled, then walked out of the courtyard without saying anything.

Standing outside the door were many soldiers brought by Pei Zhan, some of whom were the palace guards.

Although everyone was upright, they were calm and orderly.

This movement attracted many nearby people to watch. After it was confirmed that the traitor captured by the imperial court was actually the famous Minister Xu of the dynasty, everyone's voices became louder.

When the Xu family guards were escorting Xu Yin out, Fu Zhen glanced at them and got on the carriage brought by Pei Zhan.

Pei Zhan arrived later, looked at her several times after sitting down, and finally couldn't help but asked, "Are you okay?"

Fu Zhen crossed his arms and leaned back, smiling again: "What's wrong with me?"

Pei Zhan also smiled, pursed his lips and rolled up his sleeves.

Fu Zhen asked him: "What happened in the palace?"

Pei Zhan pulled out a handkerchief and wiped a few strands of blood on his arm: "After Xu Yin left, the prince persuaded the emperor for a long time, so he still asked the Li brothers to capture me and Shaoyang. Of course, we couldn't get an advantage at first. But then Zhan Shi When the people from the palace arrived, the prince was ready to attack the emperor directly and forcefully usurp the throne because of the sudden illness of the emperor. But the third prince came. "

"Third Prince?"

"Yes, King Yan." Pei Zhan said, "When Shaoyang brought Prince Rong and his son into the palace, King Yan happened to be watching the guards training horses under the Meridian Gate. Shaoyang informed King Yan of the affairs in Qianqing Palace, and then entrusted King Yan to , if you hear a sharp whistle coming from the Qianqing Palace, please ask him to pass the order to the soldiers at the palace gate.

"Just like that, at the critical moment, my father and Uncle Cheng and Uncle Du heard the whistle at the palace gate and entered the palace to rescue him."

"What about the prince?"

Pei Zhan took a deep breath, touched his knees and said, "Let the emperor kill me with a sword on the spot."

Fu Zhen nodded.

This result was within her expectation. The prince's crime of killing his brother is unforgivable, but when it is difficult to continue the imperial heir, he has given birth to an imperial grandson, and may still have a life left, and is imprisoned. But it is a heinous crime to conspire to force the palace. Not only could the emperor, as the emperor, find it difficult to tolerate him, but also the officials around him who had contributed to the founding of the country could not tolerate him.

But in this case, the emperor's grandson will not have a good ending. With such a father, it will be difficult to convince the public when he ascends to the throne in the future.

Fu Zhen said: "How is King Yan's physical condition?"

This question obviously also touched on the pain points of Pei Zhan, a courtier. He frowned deeply and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty values ​​the stability of the country more than anything else. Although the prince is healthy, if he can stay in his own place, it will not be a problem to inherit the throne and maintain stability for decades. But the weak clan is still disadvantageous after all. Even if King Rong did not break the law, and they were not direct members of the royal family, so they would never relax their concern for King Yan.

"However, King Yan has not even left the palace in the past few years. Whether the situation is good or not, I'm afraid it's all before our eyes."

In short, if King Yan successfully takes over the throne, why would the emperor and empress allow the prince to draw his sword?

If even King Yan can't accept her - at least, he must be able to get married and have children, right? Now that it is impossible to adopt a child from the clan, the throne must be secured by someone from the Yang family. Otherwise, wouldn't it lead to another big disaster? ——This is how it is under the imperial power system. There must be someone in charge, otherwise it will be chaos.

Fu Zhen was silent for a moment, took out the jade he got from Xu Yin, and looked at it carefully.

Pei Zhan glanced at it but said nothing.

Fu Zhen held the jade and said, "Did you know? Lian Jun also has a piece of jade like this on his body."

"Lian Ruan?" Pei Zhan's eyebrows moved slightly.

"Do you remember what Tie Ying said about Duan Mian's wife having a mother-in-law jade pendant?" Fu Zhen looked at him, "It was because of the mother-in-law jade pendant on Duan Mian's wife that King Dayue suspected and finally confirmed that they had a child. Then I found Xu Yin. I had seen the jade on Lian Zhong's body, which was very similar to Xu Yin's jade.

"At that time, I was very confused as to why their master and servant had the same jade hanging on them. But if Xu Yin's piece of jade is a child jade, is Lian Ruan's piece of jade a mother jade?"

Pei Zhan paused: "How come his mother's jade is on Lian Chang's body?"

"It's just weird." Fu Zhen said, "I can see that piece of jade, and Xu Yin must be able to see it. Ordinarily Xu Yin shouldn't allow him to wear it. If Xu Yin allows it, given Xu Yin's character, he will definitely He thinks Lian Jun is extremely reliable. But if he is really reliable, why would Lian Jun rebel?"

Pei Zhan thought for a moment and said, "Go on."

Fu Zhen said: "You must have heard it when you were outside. It was night when the incident occurred. The reason why Xu Yin was able to make a decision quickly was because Lian Ruan told the identity of the deceased. Lian Ruan knew a lot. Pei Zhan stood up unconsciously, touched the bottom of his chin and said, "I remember Tie Ying said that King Dayue secretly hid a prince in the Lian family."

"But Tie Ying also said that he has never heard of Lian Jun." Fu Zhen looked at the jade, "If Lian Jun is really from Prince Yi's Mansion, and he can be entrusted with such an important task to follow Xu Since Yin has been around for so long, Tieying and the others shouldn't know about him, right?

“There’s no need for Tieying to lie about such a trivial matter.

"Xu Yin's hijacking of Concubine Li and his escape was not a premeditated plan, but something that happened along the way. Lien Yan could not have known about it in advance. In short, I think it was not an easy decision for Lien Ruan to quickly make the decision to take Concubine Li and escape at that juncture. people.”

Pei Zhan nodded: "If you put it this way, this Lien Ruan is worthy of investigation. It's just that we didn't guard against him originally. After we caught the guard, Lien Ruan had already left the city. According to his explanation, there were people from Xu Yin outside the city. Waiting for the response. After Liancheng goes out, he will definitely use this group of people to escape, and it won't be a matter of time. "

"We have to do nothing after all. You can ignore Otsuki's incident. How they can confirm that the deceased is the eldest son of the emperor must be clarified."

Pei Zhan hissed slightly when he heard this, sat up straight and said: "As soon as you mentioned this, I remembered it again. The Queen Mother said that the eldest son of the Emperor practiced martial arts when he was young and was quite courageous. However, the Emperor was killed in the alley witnessed by his mother-in-law. The eldest son, this is consistent with the circumstances of the death of the eldest son of the emperor as explained by Prince Rong and his son, but it seems to be inconsistent with the image of the eldest son of the emperor as described by the empress. "

"The emperor's eldest son has been practicing martial arts since he was a child?"

Pei Zhan nodded: "Not only did he practice martial arts, but he also took two guards with him when he left. His disappearance may naturally be related to these two guards. However, if the guards are unreliable, it is impossible for the emperor's eldest son to be ten years old at the time. Escape from them. Assuming that the two guards are loyal, he can only improve his martial arts and have no reason to retreat.

"How could he argue with Yang Zhan several times and still die at his hands?"

Fu Zhen was stunned when he heard this: "There is also this level?!"

Pei Zhan then smoothly recounted all the experiences the queen had previously mentioned about the emperor's eldest son's childhood. Then he said: "A son of a righteous king who faces war day and night, even if he has been in exile for many years, shouldn't he behave like this?"

Fu Zhen said: "Have you told the Emperor about this?"

"How could there be time? The prince was sentenced to death, and I left the palace."

Fu Zhen nodded in silence: "The emperor has been deeply traumatized by this incident. We should immediately try the case and stabilize the court. It is better to discuss these groundless matters later."

The doubts about the eldest son of the emperor cannot be ignored, but the emperor and the empress have just accepted the fact that the prince killed his brother, and it would be a kind of torture for them to stir up the trouble easily.

Fu Zhen then put the matter aside and put the jade away. He raised the teapot and poured each other a cup of tea and said, "Put me down at the street ahead. I have to go see my mother. She must be very worried about me."

After saying that, she raised her neck and drank the tea, then asked the guard to stop the car and got out on her own.

Pei Zhan looked at her back and wanted to say something. He raised his hand halfway through the window and put it down again.

……

The turmoil, which lasted less than a full day, was enough to cause a sensation throughout the city.

This forced the government to deploy manpower to maintain the situation.

Of course, Pei Zhan and Liang Chen, as the main force in solving the case, must be busy with things at this moment, and Fu Zhen certainly cannot waste his time.

After seeing Fu Zhen off in the early morning, Mrs. Ning never slept again. In order not to cause trouble to Fu Zhen and the others, she stayed at home all day long. It was not until she heard that Xu Yin was surrounded in the house where he once lived next to Baiyu Hutong that she relaxed and followed the instructions she had shared with her earlier. Fu Zhen agreed to go from Ning's house to Wanbin Tower.

Due to the ban in the city, the restaurant was also closed today. Mrs. Ning was pacing back and forth in the attic, watching the sun set in the west and filtering into the room through the branches and leaves. The sound of Fu Zhen's footsteps could be heard from bottom to top. Come up!
Regardless of her manners, Mrs. Ning walked down the stairs in three steps. She stopped and looked for a moment, then stepped forward and grabbed Fu Zhen's arms and said, "Is nothing wrong with you?"

Fu Zhen let out a long breath, shook his head, and hugged her: "I'm fine. Everyone has been arrested and the dust has settled!"

"Great!" Mrs. Ning choked with sobs, let go of her and said, "Thank you, Uncle - Thank you, Master, for sending someone to deliver a letter just now. He briefly talked about the situation in the palace, and also said that you would personally take people there. Chasing Xu Yin, I haven't felt any better since I got the letter. That thief Xu is so cunning, I'm afraid that something will happen to you."

Fu Zhen helped her go upstairs and sit down. He spent two breaths to steady his breathing before saying: "From now on, you can rest assured. The mystery of Baiyu Hutong has been revealed. The prince, Xu Yin, Prince Rong and his son, these Everyone is brought to justice. We can live in peace."

Revenge is not everything in her life, but it is also the goal she must achieve after her rebirth.

In the past six months, she had focused all her energy on revenge, and from the moment she captured Xu Yin, her life was put back on track.

After the great revenge was avenged, this past became the real past.

From now on, it doesn't matter whether she is Liang Ning or Fuzhen. What matters is that she has longed for the rest of her life for decades in her previous life. From now on, she can pick it up again and realize it.

Mrs. Ning stroked her slightly messy hair: "Master Chengkong's words really came true. Ever since you escaped from death in Baihe Temple, everything has gotten better. From now on, things will naturally get better and better."

The mother and daughter nestled against each other under the gentle sunset, creating a peaceful room.

When Jin Zhu's footsteps came up from the stairs, Fu Zhen also sat up straight. She took Jin Zhu's tea and took two sips, then said: "There is something important that I haven't had time to tell my mother yet. Do you know who the person Prince Rong and his son killed?"

The prince's brother-killing matter involves moral ethics, so the palace naturally needs to keep it secret for the time being and will make it public later. Therefore, Mrs. Ning will not know the inside story at present.

Sure enough, Mrs. Ning was stunned: "Is he actually the eldest son of the emperor?"

"It's the eldest son of the emperor, so it makes sense, right?" When they mentioned the fan earlier, both of them had vague guesses. Even if they didn't know it was the eldest son of the emperor, they also guessed that he was a very important person.

After Fu Zhen finished talking about the emperor's eldest son's past, he continued: "I never thought that my grandfather would be a crucial person who knows the whereabouts of the emperor's eldest son. Then it is completely reasonable for him to tell his mother to act carefully.

"I asked Xu Yin if he knew the cause of his grandfather's death, but I found that he actually learned the information about the eldest son of Emperor Lian through the person next to him, Lian Ruan. So, he might not know about the death of his grandfather, and even if he knew, he would not know about it. I heard it from Lian Ruan.

"What I thought at the time was that the case of the eldest prince had nothing to do with the struggle for the imperial power in Dayue, and there was no reason for Lian Rong and his party to pay attention to this. How did he know about it? He had only been with Xu Yin for a short time, so he should not have taken over Xu Yin's guards before, but he was able to get all this information so easily."

If Lian Jun hadn't happened to provide such important information, Xu Yin would not have made the decision to immediately use this case to ask Liang Ning for the dagger and move closer to Prince Rong's palace.
