Yanmei thanked Liu Shui, then turned to ask Furong: "Sister, what are your thoughts these days?" Since that day when Yanmei tried her best to save herself and Peony, Furong's view of Yanmei has changed greatly. .
Furong thought for a moment and said: "I have thought about it over and over again in the past few days. It is certain that this matter is related to the whole Xiangmen. The murder of Cheng Fang is the proof."
Furong continued: "The situation is extremely serious now. Please order the princess to put the whole city on alert. I think this group of people is plotting something evil and intends to rebel." When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.
Ru Dan said in shock: "Sister, don't scare people with your nonsense. Conspiracy and rebellion is the crime of annihilating the nine tribes. I forgive them for not having the courage."
But Liu Shui said: "This group of people is extremely vicious. Why don't you dare? Furong, why do you think so?" The man in black seriously injured Mu Dan, so Liu Shui naturally hated this group of people.
Furong said slowly: "I have been thinking about some things in the past few days. This group of people should be an extremely large organization. They act covertly, decisively and well-planned. They first robbed food and silver, with two purposes, one is to seize Grain and silver expand the strength and recruit troops. The second is to force the government to increase taxes and cause civil unrest."
Fu Rong paused for a while and then continued: "But under the persuasion of the young master, your Excellency revoked the order to collect taxes, which made their plan come to nothing. But they have been waiting for the opportunity. This time, the Lord went on an expedition and the palace was empty, so it was naturally a great opportunity. .”
Hongying interjected: "But they should know that Brother Liu is here with us, why do they dare to take risks?"
Fu Rong said: "Sister Hongying, they think they are strong, so why don't they dare. This time they have a careful plan and a two-pronged approach. One is to take advantage of the opportunity when you and the young master are not around, and the other is to attack the weapons depot to distract the government. .”
Furong took a breath and said: "The first purpose is to seize weapons and weapons, and the second is to eliminate the government offices and make Tanzhou leaderless. If these two goals are achieved, they can rise up and raise the flag to rebel."
Ru Dan asked in shock: "Then they have seized the weapons now, and it seems like something is going to happen soon!"
Fu Rong smiled slightly and said: "Not for the time being. They failed to take down the government office in one fell swoop. With their style of planning and then acting, they naturally won't take risks. It is estimated that now that they have food, silver and weapons in hand, they will definitely recruit soldiers and horses, secretly practice."
After hearing this, Yanmei was greatly impressed and said: "Mess Furong is worthy of Zhuge among women. So how should we deal with it? This matter is indeed related to the whole Xiangmen. Do we need to destroy the Xiangmen immediately? To eliminate future troubles!"
"Princess, you must not do it." Liang Furong said quickly, "Although there is Cheng Fang's body as evidence, they can completely deduce that it was his personal behavior. Besides, Cheng Fang joined the Quanxiang Clan not long ago, and the Salt Gang was originally It’s a mixed bag of gangs, so it’s not enough to convict.”
Yanmei asked hesitantly: "Are we going to ignore the whole Xiangmen?"
Furong shook her head and said: "Of course not. We can take Cheng Fang's body to question and see how they respond. But our current strength is limited. If both sides fall out on the spot, we may not be able to defeat him."
At this time, the guard outside came in and reported: "To the princess, someone is coming from the capital."
Yanmei hurriedly said: "Please come quickly." After a while, several people came in, and the leaders were two beautiful girls of seventeen or eighteen years old.
The two girls walked up to Yanmei, saluted and said, "My servants Pingting and Chanjuan have met the princess." Four strong men behind them saluted and paid homage at the same time.
Yanmei said hurriedly: "Get up quickly. You all came all the way. You had a hard time on the road. Sit down and talk." Liu Shui was a little disappointed when he saw that only two young girls came.
Yanmei observed the words, smiled and said to Liu Shui: "Mr. Liu, let me introduce to you, these two are exquisite and smart senior sisters: Pingting and Chanjuan. Those four are the first-class guards in the palace."
Yanmei introduced Liu Shui and others to Pingting and others one by one. Liu Shui thought that if they had Linglong's skills, they would be of great help.
Pingting said to Yanmei: "Princess, after receiving the urgent report from the princess, the emperor discussed with Princess Changping. When they learned that the princess was injured, they were extremely anxious and worried. Princess Changping originally wanted to come to Tanzhou in person. But recently, There is something going on in the capital, so the princess has no time to come."
It turns out that the princess they were talking about was none other than Princess Changping. Yanmei and Princess Changping grew up together and share a love for each other.
Pingting then took out two brocade boxes, handed them to Yanmei and said, "When the princess learned that the princess was injured, she ordered her maid to bring the magical elixir from the palace to the princess."
Yanmei was overjoyed and said: "Sister Princess is very considerate. I will keep one box for later use. You can give the other box to the injured person to take immediately. Please ask Miss Meihua to take Pingting there. Meihua agreed, and the two People go out and leave.
Yanmei asked everyone to step back and go about their business, leaving only Liu Shui, Hongying and Furong to continue the discussion.
Yanmei sighed and said, "I didn't expect that there are so many things going on in the world. Sister Furong, what do you have to say?"
Furong thought for a moment and asked, "Princess, how are Pingting and the others' skills?"
Yanmei said: "Their skills are comparable to those of Linglong and Smart."
Furong said happily: "In that case, you can go to Quanxiangmen to investigate and find out what happened. The princess also wants to come in person. I wonder how the princess is injured? Can you persist?"
Liu Shui hurriedly said: "Fu Rong, haven't you seen the princess like this? How can she act? The four of me, Hongying, Pingting, and Chanjuan will be able to handle it, right?"
Yanmei said to Liu Shui: "Don't worry, young master. Liangchen is right. If I don't go, the shock will not be enough. I took the princess's magical elixir and rested for a night. I can recover a little strength and can still deal with ordinary people."
Furong asked: "Is this magical elixir so effective?"
Yanmei said: "This is a secret healing elixir made by the royal family. The injured person can take one pill and he will recover in a few days."
Furong immediately said: "Then we will go to Quanxiangmen tomorrow. The princess also ordered Uncle Li Xing to lead the troops to follow the order secretly, and the rest will guard the government office. We will go to Quanxiangmen to bring their master back for questioning. This is not a big deal. After all, Cheng Fang is the protector of the entire Xiangmen. If they dare to resist, it means they have a premeditated plan, and we will take advantage of the situation to catch them all. Otherwise, we will control their sect leaders first, leaving the entire Xiangmen leaderless and unable to turn over the big waves."
Seeing her careful planning, Yanmei said, "Just do what you want."
The next day Yanmei, surrounded by everyone, came to Tianxing Pavilion, the main altar of Xiangmen.
Xiao Xianglan, the head of Quanxiang Gate, heard the news and hurriedly led everyone to the door to greet him.
When Xianglan saw Yanmei, she said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. How come the princess's sister is here today? I haven't come far to welcome you. Please forgive me."
Yanmei said coldly: "Master, there is no need to be polite. I came here today because I want the master to take a look at someone."
Yanmei waved her hand, and the guards immediately took out Cheng Fang's body and placed it in the field.
Elder Dongfang beside Xianglan stepped forward and checked. Said: "Report to the sect master, it is Protector Cheng Fang."
Xianglan asked in shock: "We haven't seen Protector Cheng in the past few days, and we are arranging people to search everywhere. Unexpectedly, he was sent by the princess sister. What is going on? Who killed him?"
Just as Yanmei was about to speak, Furong said first from the side: "The master is very eloquent, and he can explain everything in just a few words."
Seeing that it was Furong, Xianglan smiled and said, "It turns out to be Miss Furong. When did you come to the princess's sect? Oh, brother Shui is here too! It turns out that brother Shui has also become the sect of the princess's sister. No wonder we have invited you many times. If you are not willing to give in, it turns out there are higher branches to climb.”
As soon as Xianglan saw Liu Shui with her apricot eyes, she made a sarcastic comment. Liu Shui snorted and ignored it.
Furong smiled slightly and said: "Master, please don't talk nonsense. Your protector attacked the government office at night and was beaten to death by my young master. Master, do you want an explanation?"
Xianglan asked in shock: "Is there such a thing? He is so bold as to attack the government office? We have no knowledge of this matter, so please keep an eye on it, Princess."
Liangchen said: "The whole Xiangmen's dignified Dharma protectors teamed up with others to attack the Houfu Yamen, but the sect master didn't know anything about it. Isn't it too unreasonable?"
Xianglan said: "The master of this sect really doesn't know. Everyone knows that our sect was formed by the merger of several sects. We don't have much time to rectify them one by one in the future. There is a mixture of good and bad in each sect, and it is inevitable that there are some lawless people. It must be him. I was seduced into committing this heinous crime. This sect will never go against the government. The Princess Princess knows this."
Furong said calmly: "There are many people who are sanctimonious on the surface, but there are many people who are insidious and cunning behind the scenes. Does the sect leader need to give a clear explanation? Attacking the government office is tantamount to conspiracy and is a crime that implicates the nine clans. Cheng Fang is the protector of the entire Xiangmen, The whole of Xiangmen cannot escape the blame."
Xianglan heard the threat contained in Fu Rong's words, so she calmed down and said, "We really didn't know anything about it, and his personal behavior cannot be blamed on our family. According to the girl's wishes, what should we do?"
Fu Rong said: "According to imperial law, Guimen is suspected of treason, so he should be investigated and sealed. If you say it is his personal behavior, then it will be determined after the investigation. What will happen to the Magic Sword Faction and the Caravan? You know it."
Xianglan saw Furong being aggressive, so she turned around and asked Yanmei: "May I ask the princess, can her words represent the princess?"
Seeing Furong forcing Xianglan into a corner, Yanmei knew in her heart that this ghost girl had her own plans, so she said, "What Sister Furong says can represent this princess."
Xianglan said: "We are not convinced by your reliance on power. Princess, think twice, the people are like water, they can carry a boat or overturn it."
Pingting heard this and shouted from the side: "How dare you threaten the princess!"
Xianglan said quickly: "I don't dare, I just reminded you kindly."
Furong said coldly: "Does the sect master want to resist the princess's order by force?"
Xianglan said: "Common people don't dare, but you want to close down our sect without conclusive evidence. It's too overbearing."
Furong said: "Cheng Fang's body is here, and you still say there is no evidence? You just admitted that he was your protector, and you did not say that he left the noble family. Therefore, the noble family cannot escape suspicion. The government arrested the suspect and brought him to trial. What's the matter? No?"
Xianglan said: "This..." Xianglan was speechless for a moment.
Furong said to Yanmei: "Please order the princess to bring all the people from the whole Xiangmen back for questioning, and order the officers and soldiers to take over the whole Xiangmen."
