Zhang Hanchen's remarks made Ji Linglan stunned for a while. This ability to turn black and white is truly unsurpassed. If he hadn't known the truth earlier, I'm afraid he would have believed it.For this ability alone, even Ji Linglan had to give her a thumbs up.
Looking at Zhang Hanchen who was kneeling on the ground, Fu Nanling sneered, and said, "Lily, Master Zhang said that you were instigated by Gao Jin to frame him, is there such a thing?"
Bai He also knelt down on the ground, and said: "Your Highness, Bai He was indeed instigated by someone, but the person was not Gao Jin, but the unjust souls of more than [-] members of the Han family in Huaicheng who died in vain."
Zhang Hanchen froze when he heard the words, and then returned to normal, kneeling on the spot calmly.
"Oh? The Han family in Huaicheng?" Fu Nanling raised his voice and said casually, "Master Zhang, have you ever heard of it?"
Zhang Hanchen calmly replied: "Your Highness, I have never been to Huaicheng, let alone the Han family. This woman is full of nonsense, trying to confuse the public, but she doesn't know that Your Highness is wise, so she can tell right from wrong."
"Master Zhang speaks so eloquently, I believe what he said is true, but there is nothing left and right today, I would like to hear what this woman said about the wronged soul. Master Zhang, would you like to listen to me?"
"Your Highness's order, how dare I refuse to obey." Zhang Hanchen kept his head down, so that people could not see his expression clearly.
"Okay. Lily, then tell me what you said. If it's true, I'll make the decision for you; if it's not true, I'll kill you. Can you hear me clearly?"
"Yes, Your Highness." Baihe pondered for a while, and said: "The real name of the folk girl is Han Xiuhe, and her ancestral home is Huaicheng. Our Han family has been practicing medicine for generations. Although we are not a wealthy family in Huaicheng, we have some reputation. Zhaoming On the first day of May 13, Minnv went to Ciqing Nunnery to fulfill her vows as usual, but she stayed in the nunnery because it was too late. She never thought that when she returned home the next day, 35 members of her family were bloodbathed. Only Minnv escaped by chance. One life."
"Have you ever met the murderer?"
"Return to Your Highness, never."
"Then when you go home, is there anyone alive?"
"Return to Your Highness, when the daughter of the people returns home, everyone has died."
"You haven't seen the murderer, and you haven't seen any survivors. How can you believe that this matter is related to Mr. Zhang? Do you know that falsely accusing the imperial court is a capital offense?"
"Your Highness, Minnv has indeed never seen the murderer, but Minnv's cousin has, and the bloodbath of the Han family was also caused by her cousin's greed."
Ji Linglan has been observing Zhang Hanchen, and I have to say that he is really calm, even when Lily is about to reveal the events of the year, he did not see the slightest panicked movement.
Zhang Hanchen could hold his breath, and Fu Nanling could hold his breath even more, and asked unhurriedly, "Who is your cousin, and what does he have to do with Mr. Zhang?"
"Returning to Your Highness, Minnv's cousin was originally named Han Chen, and was originally a doctor accompanying the Liaoyuan Army. Now he is aliased as Han Lin, and he opened a medicine shop in the east of the city. Two years ago, my cousin found Minnv and told her the truth. Only then will the women of the people know what was the cause of the tragedy of the Han family."
"Doctor of the Liaoyuan Army?" Fu Nanling looked at Zhang Hanchen and asked indifferently, "Does Master Zhang recognize this person?"
"Return to Your Highness, I will recognize you."
Zhang Hanchen's answer surprised Ji Linglan, he looked at Fu Nanling, it was obvious that Fu Nanling did not expect Zhang Hanchen to answer like this.
"Oh? Master Zhang recognizes it? Then Master Zhang, tell me, why did Han Chen offend you so that he was murdered like this?"
"Your Highness, the lower officials know Han Chen because he is a doctor with the army, and he has treated the injuries with the lower officials, but he has never done bloodbath for Han's family."
"Since Mr. Zhang has never done it, why would Han Chen spread such rumors?"
"It's a long story, Your Highness, please listen to the official and speak slowly."
"Don't worry, I'm free today, I have plenty of time, Master Zhang said slowly."
"In the 12th year of Zhaoming, Linguo invaded the border of our dynasty. Mr. Liang was ordered by the king to go to support him. Unexpectedly, he was knocked off his horse in a battle and was seriously injured. The officer tried his best to rescue Mr. Liang. Mr. Liang was very angry with this officer. For appreciation, I often call the account to discuss the battle." Zhang Hanchen paused, and then said: "At that time, the battle was fierce, but Mr. Liang's injuries were repeated frequently, and he passed away in just a month, and the lower officials couldn't help feeling suspicious. Liang Although my lord's injury is serious, it didn't hurt the tendons, and it can be cured within a few days with careful treatment, how could he die without treatment?"
Fu Nanling raised his eyebrows and said following his words: "So Mr. Zhang suspects that Han Chen, the doctor accompanying the army, tampered with Mr. Liang's diagnosis and treatment?"
"Your Highness is wise, I do have this conjecture."
Zhang Hanchen stopped, but Fu Nanling didn't intend to answer, and the scene froze all of a sudden.
Zhang Hanchen didn't take it seriously, he was silent for a while, and said to himself: "Master Liang has been kind to the subordinates, and the cause of his death is suspicious. The subordinates can't just ignore it, so they secretly investigated and found that Han Chen did not follow the prescription. Instead of making decoctions, but secretly replacing one herbal medicine with similar weeds, the reason why Mr. Liang's injuries often recur is because the medicinal properties are not enough."
Ji Linglan, who was listening, was surprised again, and then suddenly realized that he had already guessed the purpose of Zhang Hanchen's words, and he couldn't help sighing again in his heart: he is indeed an old fox who has been in the officialdom for a long time!
Fu Nanling took a deep look at him and said, "Then what is his purpose?"
Zhang Hanchen sighed and said: "It's all because of Mr. Liang's appreciation of the subordinates that led to such a murder."
"Oh? Mr. Zhang might as well explain in detail, what is the reason for it."
"This matter has to start from when Xiaguan was young." Zhang Hanchen moved his body, and then said: "To tell you the truth, Your Highness, Xiaguan and Gao Jin are not only from the same hometown, but also have old grudges..."
Zhang Hanchen recounted how he and Gao Jin had a grudge when they were young, without concealing it.
Although he guessed part of it, he didn't expect that Zhang Hanchen would reveal himself suddenly, which was completely beyond Ji Linglan's expectation, but he immediately understood all Zhang Hanchen's plans.
Not only Ji Linglan was surprised, Fu Nanling didn't expect it either, but like Ji Linglan, he understood Zhang Hanchen's next plan. "Master Zhang has a grudge with Gao Jin, what is it with Master Liang? And why is Han Chen involved?"
"Xiaguan and Gao Jin both took office in Liaoyuan, and it is inevitable that there will be intersections. Gao Jin is narrow-minded, and he is afraid that the subordinate will be promoted and threaten his status, so he threatens Han Chen to kill Mr. Liang, and then blame the subordinate, completely eradicating the subordinate. This hidden danger. It's a pity that he took every step of the way, but he didn't expect that the lower official had already become suspicious and caught the evidence that Han Chen killed Mr. Liang. Han Chen begged the lower official to let him go, and he said that if he didn't do it, Gao Jin would die Killed his whole family. The lower official was soft-hearted for a moment, and promised that if he testified that Mr. Liang was murdered by Gao Jin, he would intercede for him in front of the emperor. Who knew that he had failed the trust of the lower official, destroyed the evidence, and fled. All these years, the lower official has been The purpose of searching for his whereabouts in private is to return justice to Mr. Liang."
"Since Gao Jin coerced Han Chen to kill Mr. Liang just to blame you, why did you get promoted in the end?"
Zhang Hanchen replied calmly: "Just because the subordinate officials found out the truth in advance, they have no chance."
"So, Master Zhang was responsible for Han Chen's disappearance a few days ago?"
"This lower official doesn't know. Although the lower official has been investigating in private, he doesn't know that Han Chen is in Ningcheng."
"You lied!" Lily came back from her stupor and said excitedly, "Your Highness, he lied. It's not the case. He's turning black and white!"
Zhang Hanchen turned to look at Lily, and said sternly: "Presumptuous! Little girl, lawless, dare to talk to me like this, who gave you the courage?"
The aura of being in the top position all year round rushed towards her face, instantly suppressing Lily's emotions.
Not only Baihe was taken aback, but even Ji Linglan was also. He subconsciously looked at Fu Nanling, and seeing that he was covering his chest, he couldn't help but worriedly said: "Your Highness, are you feeling unwell?"
Fu Nanling's eyes flickered, and he frowned and said: "Bring the medicine."
Seeing this, Xiao Lizi hurried forward, took out a small porcelain bottle, poured out a pill, and served Fu Nanling to take the medicine.
Ji Linglan's face turned cold, and said: "Master Zhang, who gave you the courage to disturb His Highness, but if something happens to His Highness, ten heads of yours are not enough to cut off!"
Seeing this, Zhang Hanchen quickly prostrated himself on the ground. The old fox who had been calm all the time broke out in a cold sweat, and said, "Your Majesty didn't mean to disturb Your Highness, please forgive me."
After a while, Fu Nanling didn't speak, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense.
Footsteps sounded, Lu Jiu walked in from the door, bowed and said: "This subordinate has seen the master."
Fu Nanling asked lightly: "Has the matter been settled?"
"Yes, people are already waiting outside the door."
"Okay, then let's call in, I'm tired too, so I'll finish up early and rest early."
"Yes." Lu Jiu bowed and exited the door, and then walked in with a man in his arms.
The man was disheveled, the clothes on his body could no longer be seen as they were originally, and there were blood stains everywhere. If Lu Jiu hadn't been dragging him, he wouldn't be able to walk at all.
Lu Jiu supported the man to kneel down and said, "Master, he has been brought here."
Fu Nanling responded lightly, looked at the man, and asked, "Who are you, and what is your last name?"
When the man came in, Zhang Hanchen took a sneak peek, and when he saw the appearance of the man, he couldn't help feeling tense, his original composure disappeared, and he subconsciously moved his body.
The man recognized Lily and Zhang Hanchen at a glance, and the hatred in his eyes was even stronger. If the eyes looking at Zhang Hanchen could be turned into reality, Zhang Hanchen would probably die a hundred times.
"Returning to Your Highness, Xiaomin's surname is Han Mingchen, and he is the shopkeeper of the medicinal material shop in the south of the city."
"Do you recognize the two people around you?"
"I recognize it!" Han Chen gritted his teeth and looked at Zhang Hanchen, and said, "On the left is Xiaomin's cousin, whose real name is Han Xiuhe, and on the right is Zhang Hanchen, Commander of the Liaoyuan Commander, Mr. Zhang."
"Who caused your injuries?"
"The injuries on Xiaomin's body are all thanks to Mr. Zhang."
"Master Zhang, didn't you say that you didn't find Han Chen? Why did he appear in the dungeon of the Zhang Mansion?" Fu Nanling's tone was very light, without any emotion.
Zhang Hanchen forced himself to calm down, and said: "Returning to Your Highness, I don't know that the dungeons in the lower official's mansion are all Gao Jin's accomplices, and I don't know that Han Chen is among them. Put willows and willows into shade'."
"You don't know it's me? Master Zhang, when you tortured me and asked where the letter was, you didn't behave like you do now."
"Han Chen, you were the one who murdered Mr. Liang back then. I thought you were being coerced, so I was willing to let you go. But you destroyed the evidence and fled far away. You really are disloyal!" Zhang Hanchen looked up at Fu Nanling said: "Your Highness, don't listen to his nonsense. This person is Gao Jin's remnant party. He is in the same rank as Gao Jin and harms nature and justice. He deserves to be cut to pieces!"
"Your Highness, Xiaomin did make a mistake, and I will tell you the truth later. I just ask His Highness to be the master of the Han family who died in vain, and give them justice."
"Your Highness..."
Fu Nanling interrupted Zhang Hanchen impatiently, and said, "Master Zhang, have you forgotten who is in charge here?"
Zhang Hanchen hurriedly pleaded guilty and said: "I dare not, Your Highness forgive me."
"Zhang Hanchen, since I can get someone to bring Han Chen out of your dungeon, you should understand that I'm not just suspicious of you." Fu Nanling opened the sandalwood box on the table, took out the letter, and said : "The thing you have been looking for with great pains has now fallen into my hands. What else do you have to say?"
Zhang Hanchen raised his head subconsciously, looked at the letter in Fu Nanling's hand, and said, "Your Majesty doesn't understand what His Highness means."
"Zhang Hanchen, my prince is bored, and I don't want to act with you anymore. Whether you admit it or not, your crime of murdering Mr. Liang is settled by this prince."
Fu Nanling used to call himself 'I' before, but now he calls himself 'the prince', which shows that he really lost his patience.Zhang Hanchen was originally called here to facilitate Lu Jiu to go to Zhang's mansion to save people. Now that people have been rescued, Fu Nanling no longer needs to act with him.
Zhang Hanchen looked up at Fu Nanling, stood up slowly, and said with a firm attitude: "Your Highness, I am a third-rank court official appointed by the emperor. Even if Your Highness is honorable, you cannot slander at will. The death of Mr. Liang has nothing to do with this official." It has nothing to do with it, it was all done by Gao Jin and Han Chen, even if the holy driver is in front, the official said so."
Fu Nanling looked at Zhang Hanchen with narrowed eyes, a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Why, Mr. Zhang disagrees with my prince's decision?"
The unruliness in Zhang Hanchen's eyes was evident, and he said, "If you want to commit a crime, there is nothing wrong with it! Your Highness, you would rather trust the two Gao Jin's accomplices than this official, but because this official was rude to His Highness before, it offended His Highness." Keep the grudge in mind, and intentionally join forces with them to frame this official."
Lu Jiu on the side kicked Zhang Hanchen's knee. Zhang Hanchen's leg was still paralyzed because he had been kneeling for too long. This kick directly knocked him to the ground.
Fu Nanling stood up, stepped on Zhang Hanchen's hand, and said contemptuously: "What are you, you can be framed by the prince?"
Zhang Hanchen wanted to get up, but found that his body was weak. The scene of the first meeting came to mind. He looked at the cup of tea on the table and said through gritted teeth: "Shameless villain!"
Fu Nanling kicked Zhang Hanchen on the mouth, Zhang Hanchen grunted and spit out a mouthful of blood with a tooth mixed in it.
"Zhang Hanchen, even though you are a thousand-year-old fox, this prince can still skin you and have cramps. Do you know why?" Fu Nanling paused, and then said, "It's just because I am the master and you are the slave."
Zhang Hanchen spat out a mouthful of saliva, lay on his back on the ground, looked at Fu Nanling and said, "Your Highness, don't forget a common saying, 'You will not accept the fate of the emperor', this Liaoyuan is still in my Zhang Hanchen's hands, I want to be Master, you also have to walk out of Liaoyuan alive."
"Zhang Hanchen, my prince thought you were a smart man, but I didn't expect that you were just a self-willed warrior. So what if Liaoyuan is in your hands? You are not in my prince's hands now, even if you have many loyal soldiers in the army. They can only throw a mouse-snatching weapon." Fu Nanling took out the Tiger Talisman from his bosom, and said meaningfully: "Besides, why do you think I sent Eunuch Pang to follow you?"
Zhang Hanchen was startled when he heard the words, then his face changed drastically, and he said angrily: "You are despicable and shameless!"
Fu Nanling smiled and said: "Take Mr. Zhang down, so that you can take care of him."
"Yes, your subordinates obey!"
Lu Jiu bowed to salute, and bent down to pick up Zhang Hanchen's belt, just like carrying goods.
Zhang Hanchen had never suffered such humiliation, he shouted angrily: "Fu Nanling..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Jiu slapped him unconscious, and walked out of the room with his hands.
Fu Nanling looked at Han Chen and said calmly: "Han Chen, although you are also considered a victim, after all, you conspired with Zhang Hanchen to kill Mr. Liang. This prince will not show favoritism. How should your crime be punished? Do you have any complaints?"
Han Chen prostrated himself on the ground and said gratefully: "Your Highness, Xiaomin has no complaints. Thank you Your Highness for avenging the Han family. Xiaomin hopes that in his next life, he can be a cow and a horse for His Highness to repay His great favor!"
"Little Li, take them down and arrange them properly."
"Yes, master."
Xiao Lizi went outside the door, summoned two servants, and drove Han Chen out of the room, followed by Lily.
There were only two people left in the room, Ji Linglan asked with concern: "A Ling, did you really fall ill just now?"
Fu Nanling shook his head and said with a smile: "Alan, how could such a little fright make me sick, I was just acting, I just don't want to act with the old fox."
Ji Linglan frowned and asked, "What about the medicine? It's three-point poisonous. If you're not sick, you can't just take it casually."
"It's the tonic that I usually take." Ji Linglan expressed concern unabashedly, and Fu Nanling felt very comfortable hearing it, and said with a smile: "Alan, I feel at ease when you say that you care about me, and it is more effective than taking medicine." gone."
Looking at the cute young man in front of him, she couldn't imagine that he was the third prince who had strategized and tricked everyone into applauding.Ji Linglan took a deep breath and said with emotion: "Your ability to change faces is also at its peak."
Fu Nanling asked cautiously: "Alan, did I scare you just now?"
"My heart is not that fragile." Ji Linglan couldn't help laughing, and said, "I don't have the slightest affection for Zhang Hanchen. For my own sake, I can't help murdering Zhongliang and ignoring the lives of countless people. Even if this kind of person suffers No matter how painful it is, I will not sympathize."
Although Ji Linglan was born in a modern society, he is not a person with a lot of sympathy. He really hates a selfish person like Zhang Hanchen.
Fu Nanling couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "Alan, now that Zhang Hanchen has been brought under control, the next step is to see how Eunuch Pang is going. If everything goes well, the matter of Liaoyuan will come to an end soon."
Thinking of Pang Li, Ji Linglan couldn't help but lament Fu Nanling's mind. This kind of arrangement from time to time is not accidental, but has deep meaning, and each of them can be used on the blade. However, he is only a 16-year-old boy.
Ji Linglan couldn't help but wonder what he was doing when he was 16 years old. It seemed that besides reading, he was reading. Life was as monotonous as a blank sheet of paper.
"Alan, Alan?" Seeing Ji Linglan lost in thought, Fu Nanling called out.
Ji Linglan regained consciousness, and said: "A Ling, although the Liaoyuan Army can take all under its command, but you and I have no combat experience. To wipe out Sun Yi and others, I am afraid that we will have more than enough heart and not enough strength."
"No problem." Fu Nanling said with a confident smile, "Now the enemy is out and we are in the dark. As long as we get rid of Tiannan Village's eyeliner, the soldiers and horses in the belly of the mountain will be nothing but turtles in the urn."
Ji Linglan was taken aback, Sun Yi obviously didn't know that they had already grasped the location of the rebels, just as Fu Nanling said, as long as Tiannan Village's outside eyeliner was solved, they could only be trapped in the mountain and passively beaten.
"Then when do we do it?"
"When Eunuch Pang returns in triumph, we will go straight to Huanglong."
In the Liaoyuan army garrison, Pang Li successfully entered the barracks with the Eagle Guards disguised as sergeants, thanks to the fact that he followed Zhang Hanchen in and out of the barracks these days, and got acquainted here. Of course, the main thing is that he has Zhang Hanchen in his hands. token.
Pang Li followed Zhang Hanchen's side at the very beginning, and understood Fu Nanling's intentions, so when he followed Zhang Hanchen to the barracks on weekdays, he paid attention to it, knew Zhang Hanchen's confidantes like the back of his hand, and took everyone down almost effortlessly.Only when Sun Xing was arrested, he encountered some troubles.
Pang Li led the Eagle Guards towards Sun Xing's camp, but was stopped by the guards at the door.
The guard bowed and saluted, "This subordinate has seen you."
Pang Li asked bluntly, "Is Sun Qianhu here?"
The guard replied truthfully: "My lord, Qianhu is not here. Qianhu is looking for Cui Qianshi to discuss something. He should be with Cui Qianshi at this moment."
"What happened to Cui Qian?" Pang Li's expression changed, and he said, "When did Sun Qianhu go?"
"Just now, that is, the kung fu with adults."
Pang Li turned around and left without saying a word. He had just brought someone to kill Cui Ping, and his body was still in the tent. He hadn't had time to restrain himself. If Sun Xing passed by at this time, it would definitely alarm other people. He had to stop him before Sun Xing found out. .
When Pang Li came outside Cui Ping's tent, he happened to meet Sun Xing coming out of the tent. Seeing his ugly face, Pang Li knew that he had found Cui Ping's body.
Pang Li smiled and said: "Sun Qianhu also came to find Cui Qian's business? Cui Qian's business?"
Sun Xing narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the people behind Pang Li, clenched the steel knife around his waist, and said: "Where are these brothers behind Pang Gonggong, why do they look so familiar?"
"This won't make Sun Qianhu worry about it." Pang Li looked at the tent behind him, and said, "I don't know why Sun Qianhu is in such a hurry, but what about Cui Qian can be in the tent?"
"Mr. Pang is like this, is he asking knowingly?" Sun Xing narrowed his eyes slightly, and grasped the handle of the knife with his right hand.
Seeing this, Pang Li smiled slightly, and suddenly pulled out Sun Xing's saber, and said loudly, "Sun Qianhu, why are you facing me with a saber? Hey, there is blood on the saber. Could it be that you have harmed Cui Qian?"
Sun Xing's face turned red when he was beaten up by Pang Li, and said: "The eunuch, it's clearly..."
"Sun Qianhu, the Commander treats you well on weekdays. I didn't expect you to be Gao Jin's remnant party who murdered Cui Qian. I blocked you and wanted to put the blame on me. You really deserve to be punished." !" Pang Li interrupted Sun Xing, without giving him a chance to argue, and said: "Come here, take it down, and give it to the commander to decide!"
After Pang Li finished speaking, he took a step back, and the Eagle Guard behind him quickly rushed forward and fought with Sun Xing.
The sergeants who heard the movement looked at each other, and one of them, Qianhu, came over and asked, "What happened?"
Pang Li said sadly: "Ma Qianhu, just now I came to find Cui Qian to discuss important matters. As soon as I got out of the account, I saw Sun Qianhu walking out of the account with a nervous expression. I asked if Cui Qian's matter was in the account. Unexpectedly, Sun Qianhu suddenly turned swords and soldiers, and I almost died at his hands, and only then did I know that Cui Qian had been murdered by him."
While talking, Pang Li led everyone into the camp, and he found Cui Ping's body.But Sun Xing fought Yingwei, two fists were no match for four hands, there was no chance to defend himself, he was so angry that his blood was surging, he could only yell loudly: "Eunuch, dare you!"
"Sun Xing, the commander is important to you. I didn't expect you to be Gao Jin's party. You have fallen into the injustice of the commander!" In a few words, Pang Li not only dragged Sun Xing into the cesspit, but also splashed Zhang Hanchen. full of shit.
If Ji Linglan is here, I have to praise: talent!
Looking at Zhang Hanchen who was kneeling on the ground, Fu Nanling sneered, and said, "Lily, Master Zhang said that you were instigated by Gao Jin to frame him, is there such a thing?"
Bai He also knelt down on the ground, and said: "Your Highness, Bai He was indeed instigated by someone, but the person was not Gao Jin, but the unjust souls of more than [-] members of the Han family in Huaicheng who died in vain."
Zhang Hanchen froze when he heard the words, and then returned to normal, kneeling on the spot calmly.
"Oh? The Han family in Huaicheng?" Fu Nanling raised his voice and said casually, "Master Zhang, have you ever heard of it?"
Zhang Hanchen calmly replied: "Your Highness, I have never been to Huaicheng, let alone the Han family. This woman is full of nonsense, trying to confuse the public, but she doesn't know that Your Highness is wise, so she can tell right from wrong."
"Master Zhang speaks so eloquently, I believe what he said is true, but there is nothing left and right today, I would like to hear what this woman said about the wronged soul. Master Zhang, would you like to listen to me?"
"Your Highness's order, how dare I refuse to obey." Zhang Hanchen kept his head down, so that people could not see his expression clearly.
"Okay. Lily, then tell me what you said. If it's true, I'll make the decision for you; if it's not true, I'll kill you. Can you hear me clearly?"
"Yes, Your Highness." Baihe pondered for a while, and said: "The real name of the folk girl is Han Xiuhe, and her ancestral home is Huaicheng. Our Han family has been practicing medicine for generations. Although we are not a wealthy family in Huaicheng, we have some reputation.

"Have you ever met the murderer?"
"Return to Your Highness, never."
"Then when you go home, is there anyone alive?"
"Return to Your Highness, when the daughter of the people returns home, everyone has died."
"You haven't seen the murderer, and you haven't seen any survivors. How can you believe that this matter is related to Mr. Zhang? Do you know that falsely accusing the imperial court is a capital offense?"
"Your Highness, Minnv has indeed never seen the murderer, but Minnv's cousin has, and the bloodbath of the Han family was also caused by her cousin's greed."
Ji Linglan has been observing Zhang Hanchen, and I have to say that he is really calm, even when Lily is about to reveal the events of the year, he did not see the slightest panicked movement.
Zhang Hanchen could hold his breath, and Fu Nanling could hold his breath even more, and asked unhurriedly, "Who is your cousin, and what does he have to do with Mr. Zhang?"
"Returning to Your Highness, Minnv's cousin was originally named Han Chen, and was originally a doctor accompanying the Liaoyuan Army. Now he is aliased as Han Lin, and he opened a medicine shop in the east of the city. Two years ago, my cousin found Minnv and told her the truth. Only then will the women of the people know what was the cause of the tragedy of the Han family."
"Doctor of the Liaoyuan Army?" Fu Nanling looked at Zhang Hanchen and asked indifferently, "Does Master Zhang recognize this person?"
"Return to Your Highness, I will recognize you."
Zhang Hanchen's answer surprised Ji Linglan, he looked at Fu Nanling, it was obvious that Fu Nanling did not expect Zhang Hanchen to answer like this.
"Oh? Master Zhang recognizes it? Then Master Zhang, tell me, why did Han Chen offend you so that he was murdered like this?"
"Your Highness, the lower officials know Han Chen because he is a doctor with the army, and he has treated the injuries with the lower officials, but he has never done bloodbath for Han's family."
"Since Mr. Zhang has never done it, why would Han Chen spread such rumors?"
"It's a long story, Your Highness, please listen to the official and speak slowly."
"Don't worry, I'm free today, I have plenty of time, Master Zhang said slowly."
"In the 12th year of Zhaoming, Linguo invaded the border of our dynasty. Mr. Liang was ordered by the king to go to support him.

This hidden danger. It's a pity that he took every step of the way, but he didn't expect that the lower official had already become suspicious and caught the evidence that Han Chen killed Mr. Liang. Han Chen begged the lower official to let him go, and he said that if he didn't do it, Gao Jin would die Killed his whole family. The lower official was soft-hearted for a moment, and promised that if he testified that Mr. Liang was murdered by Gao Jin, he would intercede for him in front of the emperor. Who knew that he had failed the trust of the lower official, destroyed the evidence, and fled. All these years, the lower official has been The purpose of searching for his whereabouts in private is to return justice to Mr. Liang."
"Since Gao Jin coerced Han Chen to kill Mr. Liang just to blame you, why did you get promoted in the end?"
Zhang Hanchen replied calmly: "Just because the subordinate officials found out the truth in advance, they have no chance."
"So, Master Zhang was responsible for Han Chen's disappearance a few days ago?"
"This lower official doesn't know. Although the lower official has been investigating in private, he doesn't know that Han Chen is in Ningcheng."
"You lied!" Lily came back from her stupor and said excitedly, "Your Highness, he lied. It's not the case. He's turning black and white!"
Zhang Hanchen turned to look at Lily, and said sternly: "Presumptuous! Little girl, lawless, dare to talk to me like this, who gave you the courage?"
The aura of being in the top position all year round rushed towards her face, instantly suppressing Lily's emotions.
Not only Baihe was taken aback, but even Ji Linglan was also. He subconsciously looked at Fu Nanling, and seeing that he was covering his chest, he couldn't help but worriedly said: "Your Highness, are you feeling unwell?"
Fu Nanling's eyes flickered, and he frowned and said: "Bring the medicine."
Seeing this, Xiao Lizi hurried forward, took out a small porcelain bottle, poured out a pill, and served Fu Nanling to take the medicine.
Ji Linglan's face turned cold, and said: "Master Zhang, who gave you the courage to disturb His Highness, but if something happens to His Highness, ten heads of yours are not enough to cut off!"
Seeing this, Zhang Hanchen quickly prostrated himself on the ground. The old fox who had been calm all the time broke out in a cold sweat, and said, "Your Majesty didn't mean to disturb Your Highness, please forgive me."
After a while, Fu Nanling didn't speak, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense.
Footsteps sounded, Lu Jiu walked in from the door, bowed and said: "This subordinate has seen the master."
Fu Nanling asked lightly: "Has the matter been settled?"
"Yes, people are already waiting outside the door."
"Okay, then let's call in, I'm tired too, so I'll finish up early and rest early."
"Yes." Lu Jiu bowed and exited the door, and then walked in with a man in his arms.
The man was disheveled, the clothes on his body could no longer be seen as they were originally, and there were blood stains everywhere. If Lu Jiu hadn't been dragging him, he wouldn't be able to walk at all.
Lu Jiu supported the man to kneel down and said, "Master, he has been brought here."
Fu Nanling responded lightly, looked at the man, and asked, "Who are you, and what is your last name?"
When the man came in, Zhang Hanchen took a sneak peek, and when he saw the appearance of the man, he couldn't help feeling tense, his original composure disappeared, and he subconsciously moved his body.
The man recognized Lily and Zhang Hanchen at a glance, and the hatred in his eyes was even stronger. If the eyes looking at Zhang Hanchen could be turned into reality, Zhang Hanchen would probably die a hundred times.
"Returning to Your Highness, Xiaomin's surname is Han Mingchen, and he is the shopkeeper of the medicinal material shop in the south of the city."
"Do you recognize the two people around you?"
"I recognize it!" Han Chen gritted his teeth and looked at Zhang Hanchen, and said, "On the left is Xiaomin's cousin, whose real name is Han Xiuhe, and on the right is Zhang Hanchen, Commander of the Liaoyuan Commander, Mr. Zhang."
"Who caused your injuries?"
"The injuries on Xiaomin's body are all thanks to Mr. Zhang."
"Master Zhang, didn't you say that you didn't find Han Chen? Why did he appear in the dungeon of the Zhang Mansion?" Fu Nanling's tone was very light, without any emotion.
Zhang Hanchen forced himself to calm down, and said: "Returning to Your Highness, I don't know that the dungeons in the lower official's mansion are all Gao Jin's accomplices, and I don't know that Han Chen is among them. Put willows and willows into shade'."
"You don't know it's me? Master Zhang, when you tortured me and asked where the letter was, you didn't behave like you do now."
"Han Chen, you were the one who murdered Mr. Liang back then. I thought you were being coerced, so I was willing to let you go. But you destroyed the evidence and fled far away. You really are disloyal!" Zhang Hanchen looked up at Fu Nanling said: "Your Highness, don't listen to his nonsense. This person is Gao Jin's remnant party. He is in the same rank as Gao Jin and harms nature and justice. He deserves to be cut to pieces!"
"Your Highness, Xiaomin did make a mistake, and I will tell you the truth later. I just ask His Highness to be the master of the Han family who died in vain, and give them justice."
"Your Highness..."
Fu Nanling interrupted Zhang Hanchen impatiently, and said, "Master Zhang, have you forgotten who is in charge here?"
Zhang Hanchen hurriedly pleaded guilty and said: "I dare not, Your Highness forgive me."
"Zhang Hanchen, since I can get someone to bring Han Chen out of your dungeon, you should understand that I'm not just suspicious of you." Fu Nanling opened the sandalwood box on the table, took out the letter, and said : "The thing you have been looking for with great pains has now fallen into my hands. What else do you have to say?"
Zhang Hanchen raised his head subconsciously, looked at the letter in Fu Nanling's hand, and said, "Your Majesty doesn't understand what His Highness means."
"Zhang Hanchen, my prince is bored, and I don't want to act with you anymore. Whether you admit it or not, your crime of murdering Mr. Liang is settled by this prince."
Fu Nanling used to call himself 'I' before, but now he calls himself 'the prince', which shows that he really lost his patience.Zhang Hanchen was originally called here to facilitate Lu Jiu to go to Zhang's mansion to save people. Now that people have been rescued, Fu Nanling no longer needs to act with him.
Zhang Hanchen looked up at Fu Nanling, stood up slowly, and said with a firm attitude: "Your Highness, I am a third-rank court official appointed by the emperor. Even if Your Highness is honorable, you cannot slander at will. The death of Mr. Liang has nothing to do with this official." It has nothing to do with it, it was all done by Gao Jin and Han Chen, even if the holy driver is in front, the official said so."
Fu Nanling looked at Zhang Hanchen with narrowed eyes, a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Why, Mr. Zhang disagrees with my prince's decision?"
The unruliness in Zhang Hanchen's eyes was evident, and he said, "If you want to commit a crime, there is nothing wrong with it! Your Highness, you would rather trust the two Gao Jin's accomplices than this official, but because this official was rude to His Highness before, it offended His Highness." Keep the grudge in mind, and intentionally join forces with them to frame this official."
Lu Jiu on the side kicked Zhang Hanchen's knee. Zhang Hanchen's leg was still paralyzed because he had been kneeling for too long. This kick directly knocked him to the ground.
Fu Nanling stood up, stepped on Zhang Hanchen's hand, and said contemptuously: "What are you, you can be framed by the prince?"
Zhang Hanchen wanted to get up, but found that his body was weak. The scene of the first meeting came to mind. He looked at the cup of tea on the table and said through gritted teeth: "Shameless villain!"
Fu Nanling kicked Zhang Hanchen on the mouth, Zhang Hanchen grunted and spit out a mouthful of blood with a tooth mixed in it.
"Zhang Hanchen, even though you are a thousand-year-old fox, this prince can still skin you and have cramps. Do you know why?" Fu Nanling paused, and then said, "It's just because I am the master and you are the slave."
Zhang Hanchen spat out a mouthful of saliva, lay on his back on the ground, looked at Fu Nanling and said, "Your Highness, don't forget a common saying, 'You will not accept the fate of the emperor', this Liaoyuan is still in my Zhang Hanchen's hands, I want to be Master, you also have to walk out of Liaoyuan alive."
"Zhang Hanchen, my prince thought you were a smart man, but I didn't expect that you were just a self-willed warrior. So what if Liaoyuan is in your hands? You are not in my prince's hands now, even if you have many loyal soldiers in the army. They can only throw a mouse-snatching weapon." Fu Nanling took out the Tiger Talisman from his bosom, and said meaningfully: "Besides, why do you think I sent Eunuch Pang to follow you?"
Zhang Hanchen was startled when he heard the words, then his face changed drastically, and he said angrily: "You are despicable and shameless!"
Fu Nanling smiled and said: "Take Mr. Zhang down, so that you can take care of him."
"Yes, your subordinates obey!"
Lu Jiu bowed to salute, and bent down to pick up Zhang Hanchen's belt, just like carrying goods.
Zhang Hanchen had never suffered such humiliation, he shouted angrily: "Fu Nanling..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Jiu slapped him unconscious, and walked out of the room with his hands.
Fu Nanling looked at Han Chen and said calmly: "Han Chen, although you are also considered a victim, after all, you conspired with Zhang Hanchen to kill Mr. Liang. This prince will not show favoritism. How should your crime be punished? Do you have any complaints?"
Han Chen prostrated himself on the ground and said gratefully: "Your Highness, Xiaomin has no complaints. Thank you Your Highness for avenging the Han family. Xiaomin hopes that in his next life, he can be a cow and a horse for His Highness to repay His great favor!"
"Little Li, take them down and arrange them properly."
"Yes, master."
Xiao Lizi went outside the door, summoned two servants, and drove Han Chen out of the room, followed by Lily.
There were only two people left in the room, Ji Linglan asked with concern: "A Ling, did you really fall ill just now?"
Fu Nanling shook his head and said with a smile: "Alan, how could such a little fright make me sick, I was just acting, I just don't want to act with the old fox."
Ji Linglan frowned and asked, "What about the medicine? It's three-point poisonous. If you're not sick, you can't just take it casually."
"It's the tonic that I usually take." Ji Linglan expressed concern unabashedly, and Fu Nanling felt very comfortable hearing it, and said with a smile: "Alan, I feel at ease when you say that you care about me, and it is more effective than taking medicine." gone."
Looking at the cute young man in front of him, she couldn't imagine that he was the third prince who had strategized and tricked everyone into applauding.Ji Linglan took a deep breath and said with emotion: "Your ability to change faces is also at its peak."
Fu Nanling asked cautiously: "Alan, did I scare you just now?"
"My heart is not that fragile." Ji Linglan couldn't help laughing, and said, "I don't have the slightest affection for Zhang Hanchen. For my own sake, I can't help murdering Zhongliang and ignoring the lives of countless people. Even if this kind of person suffers No matter how painful it is, I will not sympathize."
Although Ji Linglan was born in a modern society, he is not a person with a lot of sympathy. He really hates a selfish person like Zhang Hanchen.
Fu Nanling couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "Alan, now that Zhang Hanchen has been brought under control, the next step is to see how Eunuch Pang is going. If everything goes well, the matter of Liaoyuan will come to an end soon."
Thinking of Pang Li, Ji Linglan couldn't help but lament Fu Nanling's mind. This kind of arrangement from time to time is not accidental, but has deep meaning, and each of them can be used on the blade. However, he is only a 16-year-old boy.
Ji Linglan couldn't help but wonder what he was doing when he was 16 years old. It seemed that besides reading, he was reading. Life was as monotonous as a blank sheet of paper.
"Alan, Alan?" Seeing Ji Linglan lost in thought, Fu Nanling called out.
Ji Linglan regained consciousness, and said: "A Ling, although the Liaoyuan Army can take all under its command, but you and I have no combat experience. To wipe out Sun Yi and others, I am afraid that we will have more than enough heart and not enough strength."
"No problem." Fu Nanling said with a confident smile, "Now the enemy is out and we are in the dark. As long as we get rid of Tiannan Village's eyeliner, the soldiers and horses in the belly of the mountain will be nothing but turtles in the urn."
Ji Linglan was taken aback, Sun Yi obviously didn't know that they had already grasped the location of the rebels, just as Fu Nanling said, as long as Tiannan Village's outside eyeliner was solved, they could only be trapped in the mountain and passively beaten.
"Then when do we do it?"
"When Eunuch Pang returns in triumph, we will go straight to Huanglong."
In the Liaoyuan army garrison, Pang Li successfully entered the barracks with the Eagle Guards disguised as sergeants, thanks to the fact that he followed Zhang Hanchen in and out of the barracks these days, and got acquainted here. Of course, the main thing is that he has Zhang Hanchen in his hands. token.
Pang Li followed Zhang Hanchen's side at the very beginning, and understood Fu Nanling's intentions, so when he followed Zhang Hanchen to the barracks on weekdays, he paid attention to it, knew Zhang Hanchen's confidantes like the back of his hand, and took everyone down almost effortlessly.Only when Sun Xing was arrested, he encountered some troubles.
Pang Li led the Eagle Guards towards Sun Xing's camp, but was stopped by the guards at the door.
The guard bowed and saluted, "This subordinate has seen you."
Pang Li asked bluntly, "Is Sun Qianhu here?"
The guard replied truthfully: "My lord, Qianhu is not here. Qianhu is looking for Cui Qianshi to discuss something. He should be with Cui Qianshi at this moment."
"What happened to Cui Qian?" Pang Li's expression changed, and he said, "When did Sun Qianhu go?"
"Just now, that is, the kung fu with adults."
Pang Li turned around and left without saying a word. He had just brought someone to kill Cui Ping, and his body was still in the tent. He hadn't had time to restrain himself. If Sun Xing passed by at this time, it would definitely alarm other people. He had to stop him before Sun Xing found out. .
When Pang Li came outside Cui Ping's tent, he happened to meet Sun Xing coming out of the tent. Seeing his ugly face, Pang Li knew that he had found Cui Ping's body.
Pang Li smiled and said: "Sun Qianhu also came to find Cui Qian's business? Cui Qian's business?"
Sun Xing narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the people behind Pang Li, clenched the steel knife around his waist, and said: "Where are these brothers behind Pang Gonggong, why do they look so familiar?"
"This won't make Sun Qianhu worry about it." Pang Li looked at the tent behind him, and said, "I don't know why Sun Qianhu is in such a hurry, but what about Cui Qian can be in the tent?"
"Mr. Pang is like this, is he asking knowingly?" Sun Xing narrowed his eyes slightly, and grasped the handle of the knife with his right hand.
Seeing this, Pang Li smiled slightly, and suddenly pulled out Sun Xing's saber, and said loudly, "Sun Qianhu, why are you facing me with a saber? Hey, there is blood on the saber. Could it be that you have harmed Cui Qian?"
Sun Xing's face turned red when he was beaten up by Pang Li, and said: "The eunuch, it's clearly..."
"Sun Qianhu, the Commander treats you well on weekdays. I didn't expect you to be Gao Jin's remnant party who murdered Cui Qian. I blocked you and wanted to put the blame on me. You really deserve to be punished." !" Pang Li interrupted Sun Xing, without giving him a chance to argue, and said: "Come here, take it down, and give it to the commander to decide!"
After Pang Li finished speaking, he took a step back, and the Eagle Guard behind him quickly rushed forward and fought with Sun Xing.
The sergeants who heard the movement looked at each other, and one of them, Qianhu, came over and asked, "What happened?"
Pang Li said sadly: "Ma Qianhu, just now I came to find Cui Qian to discuss important matters. As soon as I got out of the account, I saw Sun Qianhu walking out of the account with a nervous expression. I asked if Cui Qian's matter was in the account. Unexpectedly, Sun Qianhu suddenly turned swords and soldiers, and I almost died at his hands, and only then did I know that Cui Qian had been murdered by him."
While talking, Pang Li led everyone into the camp, and he found Cui Ping's body.But Sun Xing fought Yingwei, two fists were no match for four hands, there was no chance to defend himself, he was so angry that his blood was surging, he could only yell loudly: "Eunuch, dare you!"
"Sun Xing, the commander is important to you. I didn't expect you to be Gao Jin's party. You have fallen into the injustice of the commander!" In a few words, Pang Li not only dragged Sun Xing into the cesspit, but also splashed Zhang Hanchen. full of shit.
If Ji Linglan is here, I have to praise: talent!
