Rebirth of the Noble Concubine

Chapter 379 390. Settlement

Liang Quanbin didn't take it seriously when mentioned this.

Xiao Tingyi was also a high-spirited person back then who could not tolerate sand in his eyes. How come he has been ill for these years and has lost all his energy?

It's just a merchant family. In the eyes of people like them, it's just a tool to scare the monkeys.

Care about this?

So he changed his mind and said, "My lord, I don't know. The Zhu family has been secretly colluding with the nobles in the capital. Taking advantage of their official position, they secretly embezzled a lot of official food. This matter was already discovered by the subordinates when they came to Jinling City.

It's a pity that the person behind it was not found out, so I used the Zhu family to operate in order to scare those who did evil things."

He had been recuperating in the Eastern Capital City for so many years as King Ding. Naturally, he didn't know anything about the affairs of Jinling City, so he just opened his mouth and made up this story.

Sure enough, when he heard what he said, Prince Ding's expression changed a little.

"Corruption of official food?"

"That's right! When I sent people to seize the Zhu family, I accidentally discovered the clues. Unfortunately, Zhu Hong and Huo Chong knew about it in advance and destroyed a lot of evidence. Now that the official food has been transferred, where did it go?

I don’t know where I am going to be, even if I’m going to be a lower official.”

He would be very evasive.

King Ding fell silent. In Liang Quanbin's eyes, this silence was a good thing, as it meant that he was thinking carefully about his words.

So he took the opportunity to present the "evidence" again, and said righteously, "This was taken from the Zhu family's darkroom. Your Majesty, please take a look!"

There are many records of the amount of official food they have embezzled over the years.

As Prince Ding read it, he felt that Liang Quanbin had put a lot of thought into it. All the evidence related to the Zhu family had been uprooted by Chi Zimo and sent to him long before the destruction. Now this one must have been forged by Liang Quanbin.

He has worked in Dali Temple for many years and has handled tens of thousands of cases. It is not difficult to fabricate false evidence to blame the Zhu family.

So Prince Ding turned pale, pretended to be angry, looked at Liang Quanbin and said.

"The Zhu family is so bold. Why don't Mr. Liang immediately give an order to arrest all those involved in this matter?"

After hearing what King Ding said, Liang Quanbin could finally start "crying".

"Your Majesty, it's not that my subordinates didn't do it, it's that the head of the Chi family went too far. Not only did he send people to beat the people who searched, he also said that if I carry out such unscrupulous searches again in Jinling City, I will definitely be in trouble.

Let's walk around. You also know that I have no foundation in the court. I am able to come to Jinling City this time only because of His Majesty's kindness. Being suppressed by a local snake like the Chi family, I really feel powerless."

With that said, he started to sow discord. To deal with the Chi family, it would be best for the Min family and King Ding to take action.

One of them has a strong foundation here, and the other holds a heavy army in the southwest, so their power is much greater than his.

"Chi family?"

"yes."

Seeing that King Ding did not speak again, Liang Quanbin struck while the iron was hot, "Although there is no evidence, but from the officer's intuition, the corruption case is inseparable from the Chi family. Who knows that their family can cover the sky with one hand in Jinling City, and they are also closely related to the Chi family?"

The Zhu family is related by marriage, so they are all accomplices, so that's why the Chi family protects Huo Chong so much."

With his clever mouth, he connected all the things together.

If the other party is not King Ding, I'm afraid he will be deceived.

Xiao Tingyi nodded, holding a jade toad in his hand. The jade toad was given to him by Mr. Min after he came to Jinling City.

It is said that the winter is warm and the summer is cold, which can solve his problem of bitter summer.

After rubbing back and forth for a long time, Liang Quanbin, who was sitting below, felt a little hairy.

What does this mean?

Do you disagree or deny it?

I thought about what I just said just now and found that there was no mistake, so I felt secretly anxious in my heart.

He has never had any dealings with Prince Ding. If he had not donated the Zhulong Pill that cured Prince Ding this time, he would not even be able to enter the Min family's door, let alone say this in front of him.

I don't know how long it took, but there were some beads of sweat on Liang Quanbin's forehead, and then Xiao Tingyi slowly spoke.

"In that case, Master Liang, just let your hands and feet go to arrest people. I will tell you where the Chi family is."

Liang Quanbin was overjoyed. With this giant Buddha blocking his way, he was no longer afraid, so he quickly nodded in agreement.

After leaving Min's house happily, he went straight to the Governor's Mansion, then turned around and headed to the Navy Camp.

Since he has Prince Ding as a guarantee, he must catch Huo Chong this time and kill all the remaining members of the Zhu family outside.

Otherwise, the wildfire will not burn out, and the spring breeze will blow again!

It would be troublesome to leave behind trouble.

He hurried out the door, but he didn't realize that King Ding behind him was staring at his back, as if he was looking at a dead person.

Xu Lin and Su Cheng emerged from the darkness, knelt down and said to Prince Ding, "I will definitely live up to the prince's order."

After saying that, the two of them took some secret guards and left quietly.

On the other end, Liang Quanbin had not yet arrived at the naval camp. When he passed a busy restaurant, he saw several masked men in black coming towards him, looking for his life, without giving him any chance to breathe.

Sitting in the carriage, listening to the sounds of fighting outside, Liang Quanbin panicked for the first time.

He doesn't know martial arts, so escaping is useless. Besides, this is a downtown area, so even if he wants to escape, he may not be able to escape.

Fortunately, he usually brought a large team of people with him when he went out. They were all very skilled, so he could be protected.

But what he didn't expect was that after a short fight, most of his men were dead or injured. The leader of the men in black said "take your life" and pointed his sword at his head.

He was so frightened that he jumped out of the window of the carriage and almost broke his leg.

Even though he was going around like this, he didn't dodge the man's sword.

With a thud, the sword entered his body. Liang Quanbin felt a stinging pain and saw a bloody hole on his right shoulder.

He was in pain, and when he saw that the person coming was about to stab him again, he immediately shouted loudly.

"I am a second-grade official, and I dare to assassinate the Director of Water Transport in broad daylight. Are you tired of living?"

The man in black covered his face and said fiercely to him.

"Bah, when you slaughtered my whole Zhu family, you should have thought of today's outcome!"

"You are Huo Chong!"

Only then did Liang Quanbin realize that his life was in danger of falling into his hands.

The sword light was cold and struck towards his chest again. Liang Quanbin thought that he was about to confess here, but unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin came out halfway.

A silver gun blocked the fatal sword, and not only that, but also took advantage of the situation to pick it off.

The man in black didn't notice the silver gun that suddenly appeared and was almost injured.

"Good nephew!"

Liang Quanbin was overjoyed, feeling like he was reborn after a disaster.

Feng Jinlin was really his lucky star, saving him from danger twice.
