Rebirth as Princess Jin again

Chapter 176 This life is enough

That night, the guard camp sent more than a dozen people to sneak into the courtyard quietly at night. They thought it was just an abandoned house. Unexpectedly, after everyone entered, they discovered that there was something inside and someone was hiding inside. A fierce fight broke out immediately. It broke out in the silent night, with bright red blood splashing everywhere under the cover of black. Only one person sent by the guard camp left the house in panic and ran all the way, appearing in front of him dripping with blood.

When the man saw the guard camp, he pulled off his turban, knelt on the ground and said, "Sir, there is an ambush there, and our people... are all dead!"

"They are all dead, how could this happen?" Wei Ying said in disbelief. The people he sent out today were all people who had followed his bloody history, and they were all elites in his hands. It was really hard for her to accept that such people would be completely annihilated.

The man covered his wound and said in a cold voice: "We thought there was no one inside at first, and we really underestimated the enemy. But as we fought, we found that those people's martial arts were clearly better than ours, and they were well-trained, cooperated with each other tacitly, and their moves were fierce. , acted decisively, definitely not a thief, more like a secret guard."

Wei Ying was stunned: "How could this happen? Didn't our spies come back and say there was no one inside? Did they deliberately expose the flaw and lure us into the bait?"

The wound on the man's body continued to ooze blood. He didn't care at all and said with a heavy breath: "Sir, now that all of our people are dead, we should discuss this matter with the prince. It will never be that simple. , someone must have set a trap."

Wei Ying thought about it carefully, who else in the capital would dare to set up a trap for the Wei family. His eyes were gloomy: "This matter must be related to King Jin, but our actions did not leak any news. They are How do you know every step of our plan?”

The man didn't say anything. He was just a dead soldier, responsible for executing orders, but there were very few useful people around the guard camp. He looked at the dark night outside the window, as if he saw a stormy change coming. He thought carefully about what happened to the Wei family during this period, and he could no longer see the way forward clearly. He didn't know where the future direction was?

Although he knew that this matter was related to King Jin, he didn't know where others would make their next move?

Maybe Su Cheng was not dead. As soon as this thought came to his mind, he was suddenly startled, and cold sweat ran down his back. If that was the case, wouldn't he have fallen into their trap, and he was just waiting for the trap to be tightened slowly? He no longer had the power to fight back.

What he didn't know was that that night, Shen Ruming, the governor of Kyoto, received an anonymous letter, which clearly stated the location where the money was hidden and what happened in Pingcheng.

Shen Ruming did not dare to neglect, and immediately led all the soldiers from Kyoto Prefecture to the house. To their surprise, there was no one in the house. More than ten large boxes filled with gold, silver and jewelry were found in the overgrown house.

Only then did he believe what was written in the letter about the Pingcheng incident, and immediately asked the soldiers to seal up the silver and transport it back to the government office.

Early on the next morning, the gate of the government office was crowded with people complaining. The papers in the hands of the people complaining were all accusing the Wei family of being greedy. Wei Ying even used his identity as the guard commander to help the Wei family oppress the merchants in the capital, and fabricated false charges wantonly. Greedy other people's property and murder innocent people's lives.

The official position of the health camp was higher than that of Shen Ruming, so Shen Ruming had to collect the pleadings and evidence and report the case.

Cui Yi, who was in Shen Mansion, learned about this and quickly found a way to pass the news to Wei Ying.

Wei Ying asked the prince to help stop Zhezi. When the prince's people reacted, Zhezi had already entered the imperial study.

The people outside Kyoto Mansion were surrounded, and everyone was filled with indignation. At the entrance of the alley, an inconspicuous carriage was parked at the corner, paying close attention to the development of the situation.

"My lord, do you think Prince Zhezi can still stop him at this time?" Su Ying asked with a smile.

Situ Jin thought a little and said: "Even if he stops the Zhezi, the prince can't stop Yang Yushi's mouth. Yang Ming is famous for his iron teeth and bronze teeth. He is not afraid of power and has stayed in the position of Yushi. For many years, he has dared to refute even his father's words, but he will not take him seriously even if he is just a member of the Wei family."

Su Ying said with a smile: "Then how did the prince convince him to help you?"

Situ Jin said calmly: "This man is an upright official and loves to speak for the people most. If you go to him about the Su family's affairs, he may weigh it. If you talk about the people's affairs, as long as the evidence is solid, he will not hesitate at all. I just informed him of the matter. There must be one of his people among the people at the gate of Kyoto Prefecture today. How could he let such a thing go?"

Su Ying was silent for a moment and said: "Actually, my father knows a little bit about the Wei family's affairs, but the power of the Wei family has been intertwined in recent years. If these things were not brought to the surface, I think my father would still turn a blind eye. With one eye, this matter has now spread among the people in the capital, and even if my father wants to deal with it, it will be difficult for everyone to stop talking."

"He wants to keep the Wei family and stabilize his position as the crown prince. He may have never thought that the Wei family wants to pull him off the throne. After this incident, I hope my father can see clearly the face of the queen family."

Situ Jin shook his head, his eyes full of disappointment: "If it weren't for his preference, how could the Wei family be so bold? Now the evidence of the Wei family is conclusive. Even if they can't touch Wei Bang and his son who are far away in Yancheng, they should at least get rid of them first. Destroy the guard camp and eradicate all the Wei family forces in the Kyoto guard camp. If there is any change in the border in the future, at least the power of the capital guard camp is in our own hands. Coupled with the soldiers and horses in the southern border, we will have no matter how big the change is. Countermeasures.”

Su Ying sighed softly: "Being a king is not easy. I think that when my father first took the throne, he must have had the ambition to make the people rich and the country peaceful and peaceful. However, after sitting in that high position for a long time and listening to too many flattery words, he has long forgotten his original intention. .”

"Now that the Wei family's business is ruined and the source of money is gone, there is nothing to fear from the private soldiers raised by Wei State."

"Now there is a Purging King behind the Queen. He stays in the fief all year round. We don't know yet what his strength is. Now he is coming to the capital, just to find out his true strength."

"It's just that if this happens, we may have to fight openly with the prince's party." Situ Jin said worriedly.

Su Ying smiled: "It's just a matter of time. We must go down this road, right?"

Situ Jin looked at her steadily and said hoarsely: "There may be more dangers in the future, but I will definitely protect you!"

Su Ying looked up at him, the afterglow of the setting sun reflected in those clear and gentle eyes through the gap in the car curtain: "With these words from the prince, this life is enough."
