Finest Servant

Gu Bingyan had heard of Lin Sandi's eloquence, and seeing his sinister laugh, he immediately calmed down, snorted, and said coldly: "Lord Lin, you are here at the right time. Do you know Xu Zhen, the chief of the city defense? He trespassed into the palace and went straight into the inner house, Gu suspects that he has ulterior motives and is about to send it to the Ministry of War for investigation."

Lin Wanrong glanced at Xu Zhen and said with a smile: "Are you talking about this General Xu? Know, know, we fought together."

"I'm afraid it's more than just fighting together." Gu Bingyan snorted and sneered disdainfully: "If I remember correctly, this Xu Zhen and Xu Zongbing are following you, Lord Lin, into the White Lotus Field. A heroic figure. In the list of merit applications submitted to the emperor by Lord Xu Wei from the Ministry of Housing, he is listed in the top few generals under your command. Lord, did I remember it wrong?!"

Gu Bingyan remembered these things clearly, but Gu Bingyan was quite thoughtful. Lin Wanrong glanced at him, pretending to be surprised, and laughed, "Oh, is it?! Oh, Mr. Gu, you mentioned it, I can't remember these things. You I also know that I have always been indifferent to fame and fortune, and I don’t care about fame and fortune at all, but Mr. Gu, you still remember Lin’s petty achievements, it really makes me ashamed, ashamed!”

While the two of them were talking, the confrontation between the two sides became more and more intense. Behind Gu Bingyan, a hundred strong men on the ground held sharp knives and moved their paces secretly. Xu Zhen was not a vegetarian. , the burst of strong crossbows in his hands flashed a dim light, and they were aimed at the people in front of them.

Seeing Lin San's words flickering, Gu Bingyan smiled coldly and said loudly: "Lord Lin, today is not the time to talk about military exploits. This is the residence of the first emperor of the emperor, the residence of the dragon son Huangsun. Mr. Lin, you not only condone your soldiers entering the palace at night and forcibly break into the inner house, but you also beat people and set fire to murder. What are your intentions? If you don't explain clearly today, no matter what your identity is, Gu will definitely sue you in the Golden Palace. , ask the emperor to preside over justice!"

This Gu Bingyan is also a ruthless character, he accused Lin San of arson and murder in just a few words.

"Sue me?" Lin Wanrong's face was full of innocence. His hands spread out: "Mr. Gu, what are you suing me? Indulge your subordinates and enter the palace at night? This seems a little unreasonable!"

"What's wrong?! Could it be that Xu Zhen is not your subordinate?!" Gu Bingyan snorted angrily, his expression very annoyed.

Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "Xu Zhendi is indeed my subordinate—oh, no, no, it should be said. He used to be my subordinate. Mr. Gu, you are so clear about my affairs, you should know a little bit about it. He is the deputy minister of the Ministry of Personnel, a small vacant title. As for General Xu, he has been promoted to the chief soldier of the city defense in Beijing. His direct superior should be the adults of the Ministry of War, and it has nothing to do with me. You To say that he is my subordinate is too flattering for me. As for the crime of condoning his subordinates and entering the palace at night, alas, you are being cowardly. Mr. Gu, don't scare me."

He said it lightly. In just a few words, he pushed the matter completely, and made others unable to hold the cause. Gu Bingyan thought about his words, Xu Zhendi did not belong to Lin San's leadership, and this alone was indeed not enough. He was convicted of the crime. He was really unwilling, and snorted coldly: "Even if Xu Zhen was not assigned by you, but he beat people or even set fire to murder in the palace, what's your explanation?"

"Arson?!" Lin Wanrong's face was horrified: "You can eat rice indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense. Mr. Gu, you said I set fire to murder. Which eye did you see?"

"This—" Gu Bingyan pondered for a while, and hummed: "How can there be such a coincidence in the world, as soon as the palace is on fire, you broke in. If you say that this matter has nothing to do with you, no one will believe it."

Lin Wanrong smiled slightly and said unhurriedly: "So, these are all speculations by Mr. Gu?"

"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. She stopped tremblingly, and slapped her hand on the wheelchair: "Mr. Gu likes to speculate? Then I might as well learn from you and tell me to say, put explosives at Xiao's house to murder me. It's your idea, Mr. Gu, isn't it?!"

His sound was like thunder on the ground, and the ears of the bomber were buzzing.

"Chop up the chops—"

"Avenge 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 put the explosives into the lantern calmly and let the wife take it back to the Xiao family, this strategy is really ingenious, if there are not a few staff members on the side to plan, King Cheng will never come up with it. , and then think about his astonished and inexplicable expression just now, and he murdered himself. Even if he did not participate, he must have been an insider. Lin Wanrong gritted his teeth and sneered: "Framed?! Mr. Gu, who did it? Who knows this in his own heart. You can speculate on me, but I can't speculate on you? Isn't this a joke?"

Watching Lin San apply eagerly,

Thinking of many legends about him, Gu Bingyan felt some 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, waving their knives and spears, and rushed towards the crowd on the opposite side. Gu Bingyan's complexion changed greatly, and he said in a hurry, "This is the important part of the palace, and anyone who dares to trespass will be punished as conspiracy. Master Lin, you too I saw that it was Xu Zhen who attacked the palace. In the future, you must testify for me on the top of the Golden Palace."

"Is it a shock? Oh, then I have to testify." Lin Wanrong laughed and said to Xu Zhen, "General Xu, Mr. Gu said that you attacked the palace, is there such a thing?!"

"General Lin please look into it." Xu Zhen clasped his fists and said solemnly: "As the city defense chief, it is the duty of the last general to maintain the stability of the capital. Tonight, the last general was patrolling the city when he heard that the palace was on fire, He brought soldiers and horses to come to the rescue in a hurry. Unexpectedly, Mr. Gu not only blindly blocked, but also entangled his party members, fighting with open flames, holding swords and guns against our officers and troops. —"

"You are talking nonsense." Gu Bingyan pointed at Xu Zhen's nose and cursed.

"Whoever is talking 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 Gyeonggi and maintaining the stability and unity of Beijing is the primary responsibility of the city defense chief. This sincere palace is an important place in Beijing, and it should be the focus of defense. As the chief soldier of the city defense, if he sees the palace on fire and does not come to help, then he is dereliction of duty. Therefore, the lower official thinks, Mr. Gu It is far-fetched to say that the ground attacked the palace. General Xu has done his duty and should be rewarded. General Xu. Hurry up and put out the fire, if it is later. If you burn something that shouldn't be on the ground, it will be troublesome."

"Yes!" Xu Zhen smiled secretly and was about to give an order when he saw Gu Bingyan stretched out his arms and shouted in front of everyone, "Wait—"

"Mr. Gu, could it be that you really set the fire in this palace?!" The flames were raging, and the inner house had been burned, and the sound of the roof beams and walls collapsing could be heard endlessly, Lin Wanrong smiled and fanned the flames: "Otherwise, why do you keep stopping Xu General put out the fire."

"There's no need for him to save this fire." Gu Bingyan roared, "My palace has its own way of putting out fires."

"Really?" Lin Wanrong smiled gloomily: "Mr. Gu, what is your status in the palace?"

Gu Bingyan was stunned for a moment. The whole world knows what his identity is. Although he has no official position, he is a high-ranking official, and no one dares to provoke him. However, Lin San pretended not to know. I was speechless, and it took a long time to say: "I am a good friend of the prince—"

"That's Keqing." Lin Wanrong cut off his words and said not coldly: "The safety of the palace is a matter of my Dahua Jiangshan society. How can the city defense yamen ignore it? You, a guest, are pointing fingers here, obstructing everyone from putting out the fire, what is your motive?"

"This—" Lin San's tongue was sharp, but Gu Bingyan couldn't fight him for a while. In a fit of anger, he said angrily, "Lin San, you are so courageous, how dare you be rude to me. My father is the teacher of the emperor and the prince. Since I was a child, I have been reading with the emperor and the prince, and I have nothing to do with it—"

"What is your official position?" Lin Wanrong was too lazy to listen to him, cut off his words and sneered.

Although Gu Bingyan has no official position, he is more arrogant than anyone else. Hearing this, he said angrily: "Gu does not need an official position—"

"Bold!" Before he could finish speaking, Lin Wanrong shouted angrily: "Good, you scoundrel! You have no official and no position, and you don't understand the government, but you dare to incite illegal armed forces and obstruct court officials from carrying out their official duties. Even this official can’t see it! General Xu, Princess Nishang and this official are sitting here today, so you can exercise your power with confidence! I think who dares to stop you?!”

"Order!" Xu Zhen's expression turned cold, and he shouted: "All officers obey 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 equivalent to treason. All of them will be killed!"

"Kill it!" More than a thousand soldiers roared in unison, and the momentum was shocking.

"Who dares to think?!" Gu Bingyan's eyes were reddened, he stood up straight to block in front of everyone, and more than a hundred strong men behind him were about to move. Xu Zhen sneered, swung his big hands, and the magic battalion lined up with crossbows. Launch. This chain of crossbows are all improved by Xu Zhiqing, three bursts, five bursts. The strength is great and the power is incomparable. Although these warriors are the guards of the palace, they can't be compared with the elite soldiers in the battle-hardened positions, not to mention the Shenji camp. The archers are all carefully selected by Xu Zhen, and it can be said that the arrows are not missed.

A rain of arrows descended, and the screams were one after another, and the screams were endless. The guards of the palace behind Gu Bingyan, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people were shot by arrows. Either in the neck or in the chest, the bright red blood was flowing, instantly dyeing the garden red. .

Gu Bing said with a stern expression, he had never seen such a scene of slaughtering with real swords and guns. He collapsed on the ground in fright, his face pale as thin paper. He shook his head and raised his head: "Lin San, you, you are so courageous! I want to sue you. You, I'm going to sue you in front of the emperor."

With the situation in front of him, no one cares what he is saying. Xu Zhen's elite soldiers rushed in and fought with the rest of the guards. The Wangfudi Garden is open. The guards are better at martial arts and familiar with the terrain. The official army was well-trained, the formation was reasonable, and there were sharp archers to help. All of a sudden, there was a sound of slaughter, fire and blood radiated each other, and the situation was extremely chaotic.

Lin Wanrong frowned slightly. Killing like this is costly and doesn't make any sense. It's time to run away, it's already run away.

He whispered a few words in Qin Xian'er's ear, Miss Qin nodded and scolded coquettishly: "Everyone in the palace listens, General Xu is entering the house to perform official duties, if you fight against him, you are fighting against the official army and the imperial court. Confrontation. This is treason. It is a big crime of beheading and slaughtering the nine clans!!! In the name of Princess Nishang, this palace orders you to lay down your weapons, thinking that you are bewitched or even ignorant of it, this palace can intercede with the father and emperor, Don't blame you for the past. If there are those who stubbornly resist to the end, they will be regarded as conspiracy.

Qin Xian'er's identity is extraordinary, and many people in the palace recognize her. Since there is a princess here, she is the emperor's golden branches and jade leaves, and the representative place is the emperor. If you continue to fight against the princess like this, even if you are justified, you will become After the rebellion, the guards understood the reason, and the resistance gradually weakened.

The generals and soldiers were shocked, and the formation tightened up, surrounding the remaining guards. It didn't take a while to capture them one by one. Lin Wanrong nodded to Miss Qin, and Qin Xian'er untied the ropes of the captured people. , said indifferently: "Ben Gong's words count. You can go! Just please keep in mind, don't do anything that hurts the world in the future."

This was captured by the guards. There were as many as forty or fifty people. I thought that although the crime of beheading could be avoided, the disaster of prison 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 secretly moved their steps and went to the door. Seeing that the princess and Lord Lin were ignoring them, they didn't seem to see them. He ran away. In no time, the captured guards ran off the ground.

Qin Xian'er looked at Lin Wanrong and smiled: "Xiang Gong, your method really works. If I knew this, I would have shouted earlier and saved your brothers from casualties."

"Little darling, if you shouted earlier, it would not be realistic-hey, your face is getting smoother and smoother, let your husband touch it!" He touched Xian'er's little face a few times, laughing and laughing without seriousness , the smile on his face is very mysterious.

Gu Bingyan collapsed to the ground and was speechless. He could never have imagined that a huge conflict would turn into this result. It really meant that the tree had fallen and was scattered.

"Lin San, I have to sue you in front of the emperor." His face turned red and white, looked at Lin Wanrong indignantly, and struggled to get up from the ground.

"Welcome." Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Oh. By the way, I would like to remind Mr. Gu, you'd better take the prince to the Golden Palace. Welcome to Fei Teng Literature, so that you can talk about it. Otherwise, you will be charged with obstructing tolerance. , I said that you are a traitor, that would be light. Saying that you are treason. Cough, cough, your father doesn't agree!"

"You, you—" When it comes to bickering, there is no one in the world who is Lin Sandi's opponent. Gu Bingyan was choked to death by his words, his face was pale, and he almost couldn't catch up.

Xu Zhen walked out of the inner house with a solemn expression on his face. He slowly shook his head at Lin Wanrong, indicating that he had nothing to gain. Although he had expected this result, Lin Wanrong was still a little disappointed in his heart. King Cheng really is scheming, and this house has long been Empty, if he is really told to escape, then Dahua will never have peace.

The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and dust, and the soldiers were busy picking up water dragons to put out the flames. Xu Zhen sent more than a dozen people to clean the battlefield in the garden.

All the servants and maids of the palace, including Gu Bingyan, were detained in the garden. A few soldiers took shovels and sat under a tree not far from them. They dug up the soil in the garden and buried all kinds of bloodstains. Everyone looked at the ground. Trembling.

"Hey, what is this?" A few soldiers dug up the soil next to the tree and were about to bury the stains, but when the soil was lifted, a faint golden lichen could be seen under the tree. It is dazzling and brilliant.

The maids and servants in the garden were gathered here, watching the soldiers dig out this thing with their own eyes. The nervousness gradually spread. Gu Bingyan heard the sound and glanced at it inadvertently. When he saw the thing clearly, he suddenly snorted and his face was as white as paper.

"What's the noise?" Lin Wanrong asked with a frown.

Xu Zhen hurried over, and fell to his knees in panic: "Bei, Master Binglin, I found something unusual under the big tree over there."
