The happy life of a prodigal

If this matter was brought to the fore and brought to the attention of Emperor Chu, what would Emperor Chu think?

No matter what, Fang Xiu is the General of the Habayashi Guard Zuo Zhonglang appointed by the Emperor Chu, and the only son of General Dingyuan, with an extraordinary status.

When this sentence comes from him, everyone has to weigh it...

What's more, a blind person can see what's going on tonight.

What is right and what is wrong, justice is in the hearts of the people, there are many people present who speak out, perhaps in Ning Wang's mansion, it is estimated that Ning Wang's face is not easy to speak out.

After leaving King Ning's mansion, it was very difficult for King Ning to restrain them again.

After all, in this era, even the emperor should be wary of the power of officials.

After Fang Xiu tore his face, King Ning was cornered.

Who gave you this power, His Majesty, or yourself?

King Ning found almost sadly that he was speechless at Fang Xiu's words.

His father never gave him any power. From the beginning to the end, he was just one of the many princes raised as pigs.

It's just that because the crown prince passed away unexpectedly, and there are only two heirs of the right age, the status is quite special.

Can......

Today, the father's body is still very healthy, and everything in the future is unknown.

For King Ning, Fang Xiu's words were heartbreaking.

No matter how he answered, it was wrong.

These words even tore off his fig leaf, making him feel naked in full view.

It's good that he's a prince, but this is the capital.

It is precisely because he is a prince, a prince, and one of the two adult princes that he cannot do things as he wants.

It’s just that no one has pointed this out all this time, and no one wants to offend him. Everyone he comes into contact with is flattering and sycophantic...

Even people from King Kang's camp would smile when they saw him...

However, just because no one is willing to offend, does not mean that everyone is afraid to offend.

King Ning's face was indescribably gloomy, and he could no longer maintain his deliberate calm.

The atmosphere in the arena was extremely weird, no matter whether Liu Zizheng or Xia Yixue, no one said a word.

Most people dare not even take a breath.

Things have developed into the current situation, and it has long been beyond their ability to intervene.

"If Your Highness has nothing to do, I will leave first..."

Fang Xiu was the first to break the silence.

He first smiled at King Ning, then turned his head and walked straight outside.

King Ning was expressionless and said nothing.

On the side, none of the guards of Prince Ning's Mansion stepped forward to stop them, and they consciously stepped aside.

............

When sitting in the carriage and returning to Fang's mansion, Fang Xiu was still thinking about what happened just now.

Although King Ning finally chose to stand firmly with the Ministry of Rites and support Yang Ming, but before the situation deteriorated, his series of actions were very strange.

As a contender for the heir apparent, it is perfectly normal to extend an olive branch to a rising star in the imperial court, not to mention that Fang Xiu has the status of Anping Bozi.

Can......

Whether a Habayashi Guard Zuo Zhonglang is worthy of a prince, with such an attitude, the answer is not difficult to guess.

There is probably only one reason for him to be valued so much by King Ning, and that is the order given to him by Emperor Chu.

The case of Armed Forces Library involves a wide range of issues, and it is by no means that two servants can cover the sky with one hand.

After all, above them, there is Shangshu, many things, without the approval of Shangshu, they can't do it.

Moreover, to achieve the position of Minister of Shangshu, the ice respect and carbon respect sent by officials and subordinates from all over the country are enough.

For them, there is absolutely no need to take the risk of beheading for greedy money.

Behind them, there must be a bigger mastermind behind the scenes.

Originally, Fang Xiu guessed that it might be King Ning.

King Ning corrupted the 4 taels of silver allocated by the imperial court to help the victims of the disaster in the Kyoto Prefecture, and built the Prince Ning Mansion. This matter may not be known to others, but Zhao Hao mentioned it to him.

Therefore, during this period of time, Fang Xiu's investigation target has always been Prince Ning's Mansion.

Accepting King Ning's invitation to participate in the Dragon Boat Festival this time is partly due to this consideration.

After all, the Emperor Chu entrusted him with such an important task. If he didn't take any action, not to mention that the Emperor Chu couldn't explain it, even he himself felt that he had betrayed his trust.

Although Fang Xiu didn't like Chuhuang, he always gave him some errands for no reason, and he was very stingy and never gave him any rewards.

The only thing I got from the palace was a gold medal, which was still made of copper.

But... speaking from conscience, in some respects, Emperor Chu treated him very well.

For example, the Emperor Chu gave Fang Xiu full trust in the investigation of the Armed Forces Storehouse case.

Even though such a long time has passed without any progress, the Emperor Chu still did not intervene too much.

Fang Xiu's purpose is very simple, to repay kindness with kindness, and to repay grievances with straightness.

On the surface, he ignored the case of the Arsenal, as if he didn't care about it at all.

But in fact, these days, he has been secretly investigating the personnel related to the armory case.

He even bought a few beggars with money and asked them to keep an eye on King Ning's mansion and pay close attention to the movements of King Ning's car.

Although there was no progress on the Arsenal case, something else was discovered by accident.

For example, King Ning's car would always leave the mansion late at night and go to a house in the suburbs.

Coincidentally, at the same time, Duke Song's mansion would also have a car driving to that house at the same time.

The two cars will always leave at the same time near the early morning.

Song Guogong is one of the three princes guarding the capital. Although his prestige in the capital is not as good as that of Yingying and Wei Guogong, he is still in charge of a certain number of pro-armies.

Among the eight outer guards guarding the capital, three guards were selected as the sixteen guards of the capital during the Taizu period.

Although hundreds of years have passed since the time of Taizu, the words of Song Guogong are still very important among the three guards.

After all, unlike the inner eight guards experienced by Xungui's children, the outer eight guards practiced the military household system. The father of the army died and the son succeeded, and they were soldiers from generation to generation, and they were stationed with the army...

1 Forty chapters give you a second

These people grew up listening to the deeds of their ancestors since they were young, and knew that their ancestors followed Song Guogong back then.

Although it is rare to see Song Guogong, and even some people have never seen Song Guogong.

But they knew that their great-great-grandfather followed his predecessor Song Guogong from birth to death, and went to war in the north and south.

So-and-so won Song Guogong's award, and so-and-so was slashed, which was healed by Song Guogong himself.

After talking about it, they subtly believe that... Song Guogong is one of their own!

This is also the reason why the emperors of all dynasties have kept three princes to guard the capital.

These pure-hearted soldiers believed in their own people, and only the presence of the three dukes would greatly reduce the possibility of the soldiers' mutiny.

In addition, during the Taiping period, the three princes were not given military power, and with the generals of the guards, there was no possibility of any rebellion.

The generals of the guards and the three princes check and balance each other.

Can......

However, His Royal Highness Ning Wang was involved with Song Guogong's mansion.

Behind this is worth pondering.

Especially after the food relief case happened, Prince Ning's Mansion and Duke Song contacted each other more frequently in the middle of the night.

This matter, they thought they did it without anyone noticing, and it was impossible for anyone to notice.

But in fact, Fang Xiu only paid less than one tael of silver, and let a few beggars discover the secret.

Not to mention, the Emperor's Jinwu Guard...

A frustrated prince and a very influential prince in the army conspired late at night.

No matter what they are planning, even if they just get together, drink and chat about family affairs.

For the emperor, it is also a big taboo!

If I had known earlier, the most ruthless emperor's family...

In history, are there not many cases where the prince rebelled and took his father's throne?

What will Emperor Chu think when he finds out about this?

In the capital, even five or six-year-old children on the side of the road know that Fang Xiu is a mentally handicapped patient.

He has also been doing some reckless things in the name of the brain disease certified by the imperial physician of the imperial medical office.

But it doesn't mean that he really has brain disease, he is really so arrogant and domineering, and anyone dares to provoke him.

Dare to attack Yang Ming today, dare to challenge King Ning openly.

Just because he knew in his heart...

As long as the old emperor didn't have a heart attack and died suddenly, King Ning would never ascend the throne.

For Kang Wang, Fang Xiu may still have a little bit of fear.

For King Ning...

Fang Xiu shook his head and withdrew his thoughts.

but……

From the current point of view, no matter King Ning or King Kang, I am afraid that I will offend him again...

After today's incident and King Ning's attitude towards himself.

Fang Xiu was [-]% sure in his heart that the case of Armed Forces... had something to do with King Kang!

However, before investigating this case, there are still many things waiting for Fang Xiu to do...

The carriage was speeding along the road and soon stopped in front of Fangfu.

Fang Xiu got off the carriage and went straight to the backyard.

Bai Xiaochun followed behind him, step by step.

As soon as they entered the backyard, they could smell a faint smell of blood.

Fang Xiu frowned, two days had passed, and the smell hadn't dissipated, which showed how intense the battle was the day before yesterday.

No wonder there was such a commotion.

"Where are those assassins?"

Fang Xiu asked.

On the side, Bai Xiaochun hurriedly said: "As you ordered, they will be detained in different rooms and guarded by different guards."

Fang Xiu nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Go and bring them all here."

Bai Xiaochun looked solemn, and said respectfully: "Yes, young master."

After speaking, he walked out of the yard.

In less than a stick of incense, he walked in with three men whose hands and feet were tied tightly.

Behind them, there are several heavy-backed Fangfu guards closely following, always paying attention to the movements of the three of them.

Among the three, one looked very vicissitudes, about 40 years old.

The other two were not much older than Fang Xiu, and their slightly youthful faces were covered in blood, making them look a little more ferocious.

These three people sneaked into Fang's mansion two days ago with the intention of rescuing Miss Yang... It should be said that they are the accomplices of the female assassin.
