Feiyun didn't want the disciples of the Boat Gang to suffer, so he immediately shouted loudly: "Disciples of the Boat Gang, listen, Qian Jin colluded with the gangsters and attacked the government. His crime is unpardonable. You should quickly put down your weapons and kneel down to wait for punishment. The princess will naturally be extra merciful and avoid being punished. You all die!"
At this moment, hundreds of guards rushed in from outside the door, led by the army general Lin Shan and the princess's personal maid Ruxia. As soon as Ruxia arrived at the military camp, she took the token and went to find Linshan. When Lin Shan saw that it was a princess token, he didn't dare to neglect it and hurriedly brought people over.
When Princess Changping saw Ruxia leading the crowd, she immediately said: "Ruxia, take down everyone in the boat gang. If there is any disobedience, shoot to death!"
Lin Shan and Ruxia agreed and gave the order, and everyone immediately rushed towards the boat gang disciples. The boat gang disciples had already lost their fighting spirit when Feiyun shouted just now. At this moment, seeing so many people coming, they still dared to fight, so they immediately threw down their weapons and knelt down to beg for mercy.
How could Qian Jin be his opponent? After more than ten moves, he was captured alive by Xu Qiong, his martial arts was disabled, and he was brought to Princess Changping. Princess Changping didn't want to ask questions. She waved her sword and was about to kill Qian Jin.
Upon seeing this, Feiyun hurriedly shouted: "Princess, wait a minute, let me ask him a few questions."
Princess Changping glanced at Feiyun, slowly put away her sword, and said, "Ask me quickly!"
Feiyun came to Qian Jin and said, "Qian Gang Leader, who else are the people who attacked the Gao family with you last night? Where are they now?"
Qian Jin lowered his head and remained silent, but Feiyun said: "You attacked the government, which is a serious crime of annihilation. If you tell the truth, I can ask Princess Changping to be extra merciful and spare the lives of your family. Don't you think about them?" Are they all your relatives?"
Qian Jin raised his head and asked slowly: "Young Master Lin, can you really ask the princess to let my family go?"
Qian Jin also knew that at this time, he would definitely have no way to survive, and he also knew that his family would not escape death. He didn't want to betray Li Xing and others, so as not to leave a bad reputation after his death.
But after all, his family suffered innocently, so Qian Jin inevitably felt a little guilty. At this moment, hearing Feiyun say that he could let his family go, he was naturally tempted.
Seeing that Qian Jin didn't believe him, Feiyun turned to Princess Changping and said, "Princess, if he is willing to tell the truth, please forgive his family!"
Princess Changping also knew that Feiyun wanted to uproot Xiangmen, but she pretended to be hesitant. After thinking for a while, she said: "Originally, what Qian was committing was a serious crime of annihilating the nine tribes, and there is no room for mercy. Since you have done it for him I can beg for mercy. As long as he tells the truth, his family can be spared, but he himself cannot be forgiven!"
Feiyun was overjoyed and quickly thanked Princess Changping, then turned to Qian Jin and said, "The princess has agreed. You can say it.
Qian Jin quickly thanked Princess Changping, and then told Feiyun everything about Li Xing and others' plot to attack the Gao family. Feiyun was shocked when he heard that Ruoxue and Bafang Escort were also involved in this matter.
Princess Changping naturally knew that Ruoxue was the daughter of Wang Feng of the Golden Sword Sect, but she dismissed Ruoxue. She believed that Ruoxue was just a lonely man with a couple of tricks, and that the Golden Sword Sect had already been completely destroyed by her attack. The heads of the Golden Sword Sect, Wang Feng and his wife, had already been beheaded by themselves.
Ruoxue can only wander around the world now, doing some small tricks, nothing to worry about. She thought that instead of focusing on Ruoxue, she was very afraid of the Bafang Escort Agency mentioned by Qian Jin.
Before Princess Changping came to Tanzhou, she had some understanding of the various factions in Tanzhou. She knew that the Bafang Escort Bureau was very powerful and should not be underestimated. After hearing what Qian Jin said, Princess Changping was naturally shocked when she learned that the Bafang Escort Agency also participated in the attack on the Gao family.
Princess Changping thought for a while and shouted: "Qian Jin, are you telling the truth? What basis do you have for saying that the Bafang Escort Bureau was also involved in the attack on the Gao family? Does Hu Lin, the chief escort of the Bafang Escort Bureau, know about it?"
Qian Jin was stunned and said: "Although Hu Lin did not participate in the conspiracy, his son Hu Xing and daughter Hu Lan were present. But in order to prevent the news from leaking, they did not bring other people from the Bafang Escort Bureau. I think since Hu Xing participated in the conspiracy, and Hu Lin should obviously know about it. But since his children are involved, he must be involved!"
Feiyun thought that with Hu Lin's personality and the reputation of Bafang Escort Agency, he would not seek refuge in Xiangmen. But because Hu Xing and Hu Lan were young, it was quite possible that they would be tempted by Xiangmen. The Bafang Escort Bureau was very influential in Tanzhou, and Feiyun didn't want Princess Changping to go to the Bafang Escort Bureau to question her guilt before she figured it out.
Before Feiyun could think about it, he heard the princess shout: "Lin Shan listens to the order. You and your people will escort all the villains from the boat gang here to the Jiedushi Mansion, imprison them, and wait for their punishment. Then they will meet me at the Bafang Escort Bureau. Mr. Xu, you take Qian Jin and take the troops and me to the Bafang Escort Bureau to interrogate the charges! Qian Jin’s family is temporarily detained here and will be dealt with after the matter is settled."
Lin Shan and Xu Qiong agreed in unison and were about to give the order. Upon seeing this, Feiyun hurriedly dissuaded: "Princess, this must not be done. The Bafang Escort Bureau is a major faction in Tanzhou and has great influence. We should wait until we find out the situation before making a decision!"
Princess Changping did not listen to Feiyun this time and urged Lin Shan and Xu Qiong to follow orders. After they had taken care of things, Princess Changping immediately walked towards the Bafang Escort Bureau, followed closely by Xu Qiong, Ruyun, and Ruxia. Feiyun had no choice but to follow, ready to act according to the situation.
The reason why Princess Changping rejected Feiyun's suggestion was because she had long wanted to get rid of the Bafang Escort Agency. The Bafang Escort Bureau is known as the largest faction in Tanzhou. It is extremely powerful and has connections with all levels of yamen in Tanzhou. This is naturally a big taboo.
Because once the Bafang Escort Agency has different intentions and plots to cause trouble, it will be very troublesome. Wu Zetian once told Princess Changping to pay attention to the major sects in the world. Once it is discovered that they may rebel, they must quickly suppress them and not give them the opportunity to rebel.
Princess Changping has always been concerned about this matter, but she has never encountered any good opportunity to deal with the Bafang Escort Agency. Just now she heard from Qian Jin that the son and daughter of the chief escort of the Bafang Escort Bureau participated in the attack on the Gao Mansion.
Princess Changping was shocked at first, and then felt that this was an opportunity to completely eradicate the Bafang Escort Bureau, and also eliminated a hidden danger for the court. Princess Changping wanted to make use of the topic and went straight to Bafang Escort Agency.
Princess Changping obviously wanted to raise an army to investigate and bring down the Bafang Escort Bureau. As a result, Bafang Escort Agency naturally became famous in the world and disappeared from the sky! Compared with Wu Zetian's Jiangshan Sheji, the princess certainly does not value Feiyun's face.
Princess Changping, surrounded by everyone, quickly arrived in front of the Bafang Escort Agency. Princess Changping looked at the majestic gate of Bafang Escort Agency, snorted coldly, and immediately ordered the guards to step forward and surround Bafang Escort Agency.
Princess Changping then winked at Ruyun, and Ruyun stepped forward, exerted all her strength, and shouted loudly: "Princess Changping has arrived, the people from Bafang Escort Bureau will come out to greet her!" Ruyun's internal strength is not weak, this luck If you shout loudly, you can hear it clearly for miles around.
As soon as Ruyun finished speaking, a group of people quickly walked out from the gate of Bafang Escort Bureau. The leader was naturally Hu Lin, the chief escort of Bafang Escort Bureau. Behind him were his children Hu Xing, Hu Lan and his husband.
It turned out that when Princess Changping and others arrived, the Hulin family was instructing their disciples in martial arts at the martial arts training ground. They were naturally very surprised when they suddenly heard shouts like clouds. The Bafang Escort Bureau has a relationship with the Jiedushi and the prefect's Yamen. This time, no one came to inform them in advance. This is really confusing.
Princess Changping arrived in person, which left Hu Lin and his wife confused. Although they don't understand why the dignified princess comes to find them. However, Hu Lin still did not dare to neglect and quickly led all his disciples out.
Hu Lin saw that Princess Changping was in front, with Feiyun, Xu Qiong and others standing beside her. Hu Lin hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down to pay homage, and shouted: "The common people lead their disciples to pay homage to Princess Changping. The princess is a thousand years old!" Then everyone in the Bafang Escort Bureau followed Hu Lin and knelt down, shouting that she was a thousand years old.
Princess Changping snorted coldly and said, "Are you Wang Hulin?"
Hu Lin heard the princess's cold tone, but did not let himself and others get up, which was contrary to common sense. Hu Lin was uneasy, but he was well-informed after all. He tried his best to control his mood and answered honestly: "I am reporting to the princess, she is just a commoner."
Princess Changping immediately shouted: "Bold Hu Lin, do you know your guilt?"
Hu Lin was shocked, looked up at the princess, and said quickly: "I wonder why the princess said this? What crime did the common people commit?"
Princess Changping said angrily: "I have conclusive evidence that your Bafang Escort Agency participated in the attack on Gaofang last night. What crime do you think this is?"
Hu Lin hurriedly shouted: "Princess, the common people have been wronged. Gao Jiedushi is an important minister of the imperial court, and the common people have always respected him very much. How dare you offend him? This must be framed or slandered by someone. Please be aware of this, princess!"
Seeing Hu Lin's denial, Princess Changping said, "As long as you know this is a serious crime. If you don't shed tears without seeing the coffin, then I will let you confront the witness!"
Then the princess shouted: "Come here, bring the money."
After a while, Qian Jin was escorted over by two guards. Princess Wu Changping pointed at Qian Jin and asked, "Hu Lin, do you know this person?"
Hu Lin said quickly: "I know him, he is Qian Jin, the leader of the Boat Gang." Although the Boat Gang has been changed to the Boat Hall, Qian Jin is still called the leader in the world.
The princess then said: "Qian Jin, please tell me what happened last night in detail!" Qian Jin's family was in the hands of the princess, so naturally he had no choice but to obey. He told the story of Hu Xing and Hu Lan's participation in the sneak attack.
Hu Lin didn't panic after hearing this. He naturally knew about it. But he believed that the princess had no actual evidence and did not dare to do anything to him. He immediately stood up and said: "Reporting to the princess, this is Qian Jin's jealousy of our faction and intentional false accusation. Princess, please don't believe him. Although the children of the common people are naughty, they will never do such evil things."
Seeing that Hu Lin still denied it, Princess Changping immediately said angrily: "At this time, you still dare to deny it. Well, let me ask you, where are Hu Xing and Hu Lan? Ask them to come over and confront Qian Jin. Everything That’s clear!”
