Gu Bingyan had heard of Lin Sandi's eloquence for a long time, and when he saw his sinister smile, he immediately calmed down, snorted, and said coldly, "Master Lin, you came at the right place. Do you know Xu Zhen, the city defense chief? He trespassed into the palace and broke into the inner house, Gu suspected that he had ulterior motives, and was about to send the military department to investigate."
Lin Wanrong glanced at Xu Zhen, and said with a smile, "Is this General Xu you mean? I know, I know, we fought together."
"I'm afraid it's not just as simple as fighting together." Gu Bingyan snorted and sneered disdainfully: "If I remember correctly, this Xu Zhen and Xu Zongbing followed Mr. Lin and you to attack Bailian. He is a heroic person. In the roster of meritorious service submitted to the emperor by Mr. Xu Wei from the household department, he is listed among the top few generals under your command. My lord, do I remember correctly?!"
Even remembering these things clearly, Gu Bingyan is quite thoughtful. Lin Wanrong glanced at him, pretending to be surprised, and laughed: "Oh, really?! Oh, it wasn't Mr. Gu, you mentioned it, I can't even remember these things. You I also know that I have always been indifferent to fame and wealth, and I don’t care about fame and fortune at all, but Mr. Gu, you still remember Lin’s little feats, which really makes me feel ashamed, ashamed!"
While the two were talking, the confrontation between the two sides became more and more intense. Behind Gu Bingyan, hundreds of strong men held sharp knives and moved secretly. , the bursting crossbow in his hand flashed dimly, aiming at the people in front of him.
Seeing Lin San's words flickering, Gu Bingyan smiled coldly and said loudly: "Master Lin, today is not the time to talk about military exploits. This is the residence of Prince Cheng granted by the late emperor, the residence of the sons and grandsons of the emperor, how respectful is the status? Mr. Lin, you not only allowed your soldiers to enter the palace at night and forcibly break into the inner house, but also beat people and set fire to murder. What is your intention? If you don’t explain clearly today, no matter what your status is, Gu will sue you to the Golden Palace , I beg the emperor to uphold justice!"
This Gu Bingyan is also a ruthless character, he accused Lin San of arson and murder for several major crimes in just a few words, if he is timid, he might have been scared away by him long ago.
"Sue me?" Lin Wanrong's face was full of innocence. He spread his hands and said, "Mr. Gu, what are you suing me for? Conniving your subordinates and entering the palace at night? This seems a little unreasonable!"
"What's wrong?! Could it be that Xu Zhen is not your subordinate?!" Gu Bingyan groaned angrily, his expression very annoyed.
Lin Wanrong laughed and said: "Xu Zhen is indeed my subordinate—oh, no, it should be said. He used to be my subordinate. Mr. Gu, you know my affairs so well, you should know a little bit about it. He is the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Officials, a small vain title. As for General Xu, he has been promoted to the chief of the city defense in Beijing. His immediate superiors should be the gentlemen of the Ministry of War, and have nothing to do with me. What do you say? He is my subordinate, that is really flattering me. As for the accusation of conniving with subordinates and entering the palace at night, alas, I am timid. Mr. Gu should not scare me."
He said it lightly. In a few words, he pushed the matter away completely, and made others lose their grip. Gu Bingyan thought about his words carefully, and Xu Zhendi was indeed not under Lin San's leadership. This alone was really not enough He was really unwilling to be convicted of the crime. He snorted coldly and said, "Even if Xu Zhen was not appointed by you, but he beat people or even set fire to murder in the palace, how do you explain it?"
"Arson and murder?!" Lin Wanrong's face was horrified: "You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't speak indiscriminately. Mr. Gu, you said that I set fire and committed murder. Which eye did you see?"
"This—" Gu Bingyan pondered for a while, and snorted, "There is no such thing as a coincidence in the world. Once the Wang's mansion was on fire, you broke in. If you say that this matter has nothing to do with you, no one will be convinced when you say it."
Lin Wanrong smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly: "So, these are all your speculations, Mr. Gu?"
"So what if it's speculation?" Seeing Lin San's contemptuous expression and disdain in his eyes, Gu Bingyan suddenly became furious.
Lin Wanrong laughed twice. He stopped tremblingly, and slapped the wheelchair heavily: "Mr. Gu likes to speculate? Then I might as well learn from you and tell me to plant explosives in Xiao's house to murder me." It's Mr. Gu's idea, isn't it?!"
His sound was like thunder on the ground, and the ears of those who bombed the ground were buzzing. Xu Zhen's soldiers were all brought out from Shandong by him. When he heard that Mr. Lin was framed by someone, the crowd immediately became angry: "Kill him—"
"Chop the offal—"
"Revenge for General Lin—"
"You, what did you say?" Gu Bingyan's face changed suddenly, and he took two steps back unconsciously: "You, you can't frame me!"
To be able to pack the explosives into the lantern without compromising and let the wife take it back to Xiao's house is really an ingenious plan. If there were not a few staff members planning the plan, King Cheng would never have figured it out. Seeing that the eyes of this surnamed Gu kept flickering , Thinking about the inexplicable astonishment he saw just now, even if he didn't participate in the murder of himself, he must be an insider. Lin Wanrong gritted his teeth and sneered: "Framing?! Mr. Gu, who did it? The matter, who knows it in his own heart. If you can speculate on me, can't I speculate on you? Isn't this a big joke?"
Looking at Lin San's eager application, recalling many legends about him, Gu Bingyan felt a little fear in his heart, hurriedly snorted, and lowered his head.
Lin Wanrong winked at Xu Zhen, Xu Zhen nodded slightly, and shouted: "Brothers, rush in with me—"
More than a thousand soldiers roared in unison, brandishing their knives and guns, and ran towards the crowd on the opposite side. Gu Bingyan's complexion changed drastically, and he said angrily, "This is an important place of the palace. Anyone who dares to trespass will be punished as treason. Lord Lin, you too I see, it was Xu Zhen who stormed the palace. In the future, you will testify for me at the Golden Palace."
"Is it an impact? Oh, then I have to testify." Lin Wanrong laughed and said to Xu Zhen: "General Xu, Mr. Gu said you attacked the palace, is there such a thing?!"
"General Lin, please check clearly." Xu Zhen clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "As the commander-in-chief of the city defense, it is the duty of the general to maintain the stability in the capital. Tonight, the general was patrolling the city when he heard that the palace was on fire. So he brought soldiers and horses to rush to rescue. Unexpectedly, this Mr. Gu not only blocked him blindly, but also entangled his party members, fighting openly, holding knives and guns to confront our army. The general thought that he had ulterior motives. The prince may have fallen into his hands —”
"You're talking nonsense." Gu Bingyan pointed at Xu Zhen's nose and cursed.
"Whoever talks nonsense will know tomorrow." Lin Wanrong smiled: "Mr. Gu, you said that General Xu attacked the palace. The lower officials thought otherwise. Ensuring the safety of the capital and maintaining the stability and unity of the capital is the primary duty of the city defense commander. This Prince Cheng's Mansion is an important place in the capital, and it should be the focus of defense. As the chief soldier of the city defense, if he sees the palace is on fire but does not come to rescue him, then he is negligent in his duty. Therefore, the lower officials think that Mr. Gu The so-called attack on the palace is really far-fetched. General Xu has devoted himself to his duty and should be rewarded. General Xu, put out the fire as soon as possible, if you burn something that shouldn't be burned later, it will be troublesome."
"Yes!" Xu Zhen smiled secretly, and was about to give an order, but Gu Bingyan stretched out his arms and stopped in front of everyone and shouted: "Wait a minute—"
"Mr. Gu, could it be that you set the fire in the palace?!" The flames were raging, and they had reached the inner house, and the sound of beams and walls collapsing could be heard endlessly. General put out the fire."
"There is no need for him to save this fire." Gu Bingyan roared, "My palace has its own way to put out the fire."
"Really?" Lin Wanrong said with a sinister smile, "Mr. Gu, what is your status in the palace?"
Gu Bingyan was stunned for a moment. What kind of identity he is, the whole world knows. Although he has no official position, he is three-pointed when he sees an official. No one dares to provoke him. However, Lin San pretended not to know. This sentence made him dumb when asked. Speechless, it took a long time before he said: "I am a close friend of the prince—"
"That's Ke Qing." Lin Wanrong cut off his words, and said calmly: "The safety of the palace is related to our Dahua Jiangshan community. How can the city defense yamen ignore it, how dare it ignore it? Neither the prince Cheng nor the little prince said anything. You are a guest, but you are here to point fingers and prevent everyone from fighting the fire, what is your intention?"
"This—" Lin San had a sharp tongue, and Gu Bingyan couldn't fight him for a while. In a panic, he said angrily: "Lin San, you are so brave, you dare to be rude to me. My father is the emperor and the prince's mentor. I I have been studying with the emperor and the prince since I was a child, and I have been inseparable from each other—”
"What is your official position?" Lin Wanrong was too lazy to listen to his ramblings, cut off his words, and said with a sneer.
Although Gu Bingyan has no official position, he is more arrogant than anyone else. Hearing this, he said angrily: "Gu doesn't need an official position—"
"Bold!" Before he finished speaking, he heard Lin Wanrong yell angrily: "What a scumbag! You have no official or position, and you don't understand government affairs, yet you dare to incite illegal armed forces and obstruct court officials from handling their official duties. How courageous you are! I can't stand this official! General Xu, with Princess Nishang and this official sitting here today, you can exercise your authority boldly and confidently! Who dares to stop you?!"
"Decree!" Xu Zhen's face turned cold, and he gave a long shout: "All officers and men listen to the order and quickly enter the inner house to put out the fire. If anyone obstructs the execution of official duties, it will be regarded as violent resistance to the law, which is tantamount to treason. They will all be killed!"
"It doesn't matter if you shoot or kill!" More than a thousand soldiers roared in unison, and the momentum shook the sky.
"Who dares to see?!" Gu Bingyan was forced to turn red, and stood up straight in front of the crowd. Behind him, more than a hundred strong men were about to move. Xu Zhen sneered, and waved his big hand, and the Shenji Battalion fired at him in succession. Launch. This chain crossbow is improved by Xu Zhiqing, it can be fired three times or five times. It is extremely powerful and powerful. Although these warriors are the guards of the palace, they can't be compared with the elite soldiers who have been in battle for a long time, let alone the Shenji camp. The archers were all carefully selected by Xu Zhen, and it can be said that the arrows were never in vain.
A rain of arrows rained down, screams came and went, and the guards of the palace behind Gu Bingyan, in the blink of an eye, dozens of people were hit by arrows. Some were hit in the neck, or in the chest, and the bright red blood flowed, instantly dyeing the garden red .
Gu Bingyan's expression was stern, and he had never seen such a slaughter scene with real knives and guns. He collapsed on the ground in fright, his face pale as thin paper. He raised his head tremblingly: "Lin San, you, you are so brave! I want to sue you! You, I want to sue you before the emperor."
In the current situation, no one cares what he is talking about. Xu Zhen's elite soldiers rushed in and fought with the rest of the guards. The garden of the palace is open. The guards are skilled in martial arts and familiar with the terrain. The officers and soldiers are well-trained, well-formed, and aided by skilled archers. All of a sudden, there are sounds of killing and cutting, and the light of fire and blood shines brightly. The situation is extremely chaotic.
Lin Wanrong frowned slightly. This kind of killing is costly and meaningless. If he should run, he has already run away.
He whispered a few words in Qin Xian'er's ear, Miss Qin nodded, and scolded softly: "Everyone in the palace, listen, General Xu is entering the house to perform official duties, and if you fight against him, you are fighting against the army, the court Confrontation. This is treason. It is a serious crime of beheading and punishing the nine clans!!! In the name of Princess Nishang, I order you to put down your weapons, thinking that you are bewitched by others and do not even know it. I can plead with the emperor, Don’t blame you for the past. If anyone stubbornly resists to the end, it will be regarded as a rebellion. They will all be killed, and the nine clans will be seized! You should think clearly!"
Qin Xian'er's status is extraordinary, and many people in the palace recognize her. Since there is a princess here, she is the golden branch and jade leaf of the emperor, and represents the emperor. If she continues to fight against the princess like this, even if she is justified, she will become In order to rebel, the guards were well aware of the reason, and the resistance gradually weakened.
The expressions of all the soldiers were shocked, and the formation tightened up, surrounding the rest of the guards. It didn't take a moment to capture them one by one. Lin Wanrong nodded to Miss Qin, and Qin Xian'er untied the ropes of the captured people. , said lightly: "I mean what I say. You can go! Just please remember, don't do anything harmful to the world in the future."
There were as many as forty or fifty guards who were captured. They thought that although the crime of beheading could be avoided, the disaster of imprisonment would definitely not escape. I never thought that Princess Nishang was so generous. She let them go with her own hands. Everyone endured They couldn't stop looking at each other, not knowing what to do. Some of them were more courageous. They moved their steps secretly and leaned towards the door. Seeing that the princess and Mrs. Lin ignored him, as if they didn't see them, they suddenly looked shocked and pulled their legs He ran away. In a moment, the guards who were captured ran away completely.
Qin Xian'er looked at Lin Wanrong, and smiled: "Master, your method is really effective. If I knew this, I would have called out earlier, and it would have saved the casualties of your brothers."
"Little darling, if you shouted earlier, it wouldn't be realistic—hey, your face is getting smoother and smoother, let your husband touch it again!" He touched Xian'er's little face a few times, laughing and laughing. The smile on his face was mysterious.
Gu Bingyan collapsed on the ground, speechless. He never imagined that a huge conflict would turn into this result. It really feels like the tree fell and the monkeys scattered. Lin San's method is really unimaginable.
"Lin San, I must sue you in front of the emperor." He blushed and then paled, looked at Lin Wanrong a few times indignantly, and struggled to get up from the ground.
"Welcome." Lin Wanrong smiled: "Oh. By the way, I would like to remind Mr. Gu that you'd better take the prince to the Golden Palace. Welcome to 258 Literature www.QUaNbEn-xIAoShUO.com so that you can talk. Otherwise, just Based on your crime of obstructing the tolerance, I say you are a troublemaker, which is an understatement. I say you are a rebel. Cough, cough, your father disagrees!"
"You, you—" When it comes to bickering, there is no one in the world who is Lin San's opponent. Gu Bingyan choked on his words, his face turned pale, and he almost couldn't catch his breath.
Xu Zhen came out from the inner house with a solemn expression, and slowly shook his head at Lin Wanrong, indicating that he had gotten nothing. Although he had expected this result, Lin Wanrong was still a little disappointed in his heart. Sure enough, King Cheng was scheming. Empty, if he really escaped, then Dahua would never have peace.
The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke and dust, and all the soldiers were busy collecting water dragons to extinguish the flames. Xu Zhen sent another dozen people to clean up the battlefield in the garden. The soil was soaked in red blood, and the flowers in the garden were withered. There was a mess everywhere.
All the servants and maids of the palace, including Gu Bingyan, were imprisoned in the garden. A few soldiers took the shovel and stood under the big tree not far from them. They dug up the soil in the garden, buried all kinds of residues and blood, and everyone looked at the ground. Bursts of trembling.
"Hey, what is this?" A few soldiers dug up the soil beside the tree and were about to bury the stains, but when the soil was lifted, a golden lichen corner could be seen faintly under the tree. It's brilliant, dazzling.
The maids and servants in the garden were gathered here, and they were all amazed when they saw the soldiers dug up this thing. Some of the well-informed people changed their expressions instantly, and the garden suddenly buzzed, and everyone whispered to each other. The tension gradually spread. Gu Bingyan heard the noise, glanced at it inadvertently, and when he saw the thing clearly, there was an ah sound, and his face was as white as paper.
"What's the noise?" Lin Wanrong asked with a frown.
Xu Zhen hurried over and knelt down on the ground in panic: "Report, Sir Lin, under the big tree over there, I found something unusual."
