Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 286 "Family Harmony and Everything Prosperous"

"Let you plead guilty! Let you plead guilty!"

Gong Siming flew into a rage at first, and only started to listen to the follow-up development after he printed footprints all over his good brother's clothes.

The more he heard it, the more frightened he became, and when someone died in another Gong's mansion not long ago, he even exclaimed: "Fengzheng died?"

This focus is different from what Gong Siguang expected, and he said eagerly: "Second brother, do you still care about that person's life? The problem now is that he murdered the only son of Governor Zheng and was silenced. If it grows bigger, our entire Gong family will be implicated!"

Gong Siming's eyes were red, and he said angrily: "He is our younger brother, he is also a talented person in the clan, he hanged himself to death, you didn't even have the slightest reaction?"

Gong Siguang was also furious, and charged at the case: "You treat them as clansmen, how do they repay you? They are all white-eyed wolves, this is more than causing trouble, it is going to force us to the desperate road of ransacking our family and exterminating our clan! He died Now, what reaction do I want, I'm too happy to have time!!"

It was the first time that Gong Siming saw this younger brother so stern, he raised his hand, but in the end he didn't wave it down.

He pressed his forehead in distress: "It doesn't make sense. Why did Fengzheng poison Zheng Wenming? What is the plan? Could it be that Li Yuanfang designed to deceive you? But it's not right. With his power, he also united with Zheng Rentong. There is no need for this at all." ..."

The brain was in chaos, and it took Gong Siming to calm down for a long time, and began to analyze: "Let's assume that Li Yuanfang and Zheng Rentong conspired to take away my Gong's foundation! Then they must have met before, tonight is the first time The meeting was a disguise, so you will explain the process of Li Yuanfang's arrival in Zheng's residence in detail."

Gong Siguang said: "It's nothing, it's just a servant to report, Governor Zheng will come forward, and we will talk in the mansion."

Gong Siming narrowed his eyes slightly: "Did Zheng Rentong take the initiative to greet him, or did Li Yuanfang greet him?"

Gong Siguang recalled: "He was standing at the gate of Zhu, Li Jiyi took the initiative to walk over."

Gong Siming asked several more details before slowly saying: "It fits Zheng Rentong's character..."

Gong Siguang muttered: "I don't think it's fake, Mrs. Zheng values ​​reputation so much, he really wants to set a trap, and he won't play a play of asking his son to marry Du Zhi's wife!"

Gong Siming was stunned, his eyes dimmed: "I don't see it as clearly as you do, that's right, Zheng Rentong won't agree to this matter that ruins the style of the family."

After he finished speaking, he was silent for a long time, and his face became more and more ugly.

It's not that Gong Siming can't tell the truth from the fake, it's just that he doesn't want to admit it in his heart, and subconsciously takes a bit of luck.

Now that he was lucky enough to break through, he had to face up to the family's problems: "If Gong Taoguang really wants to murder the only son of Governor Zheng, why?"

Gong Siguang said firmly: "Anyway, it's a big deal, if it's not a big deal, he won't be silenced, it's obviously a guilty conscience!"

"event……"

Gong Siming pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "Li Yuanfang asked you about the situation of the third brother?"

Gong Siguang nodded: "Yeah, he asked who is in charge of the side branch, and he also knew that the third brother likes to play with instruments of torture."

Gong Siming asked again: "In your opinion, what kind of person is Li Yuanfang?"

Gong Siguang said: "He is kind, thinks highly of me, and has ability, I admire him very much!"

Hearing his younger brother's tone, Gong Siming closed his eyes: "There is no one worthy of fame, this person is really powerful, if I expected it, he should have already made some guesses before releasing you. Otherwise, soldiers will surround the mansion, what a ruthless method!"

Gong Siguang was puzzled.

Gong Siming said: "Don't you understand? Li Yuanfang wants me to fight among the Gong clan, let us beat ourselves!"

Gong Siguang's complexion changed: "Second Brother means... Third Brother? He is the main branch, how could he get involved with the thieves from the side branches?"

Gong Siming was angry: "What is the side branch of the main vein, the main vein looks down on the side branch, and the side branch hates the main vein, it is because of you that it is not good!"

"It's fine at other times. Now outsiders are all eyeing my Gong family. At the critical moment, we must be consistent with the outside world, and we must not be used by Li Yuanfang!"

"Go and bring the third child, I believe he understands this truth!"

Gong Siguang got up obediently and ran out quickly.

But outside the hall, Li Yan's last explanation before leaving suddenly appeared in his mind.

Be careful of your own safety, thieves are eager to jump over the wall, and they can do anything.

He hesitated for a moment, then summoned his servants: "Go and fetch my grass fly."

The servant quickly brought the red lynx over, and Gong Siguang rubbed its head: "You are usually so strong, at critical moments, you can protect the second brother!"

Lynx stared at him with round eyes.

Gong Siguang sighed: "If you can be like that golden and black cat, so spiritual, it would be great... Don't worry about whether you can understand or not, it's up to you now!"

After sending the lynx into the hall, Gong Siguang asked his servants to look for Gong Siye, and went to the next room by himself, waiting for the movement of the middle hall.

Waiting and waiting, the head hangs down.

"Zzz...Zzz..."

……

When Gong Siye walked into the middle hall, the drums in Luoyang City began to sound.

Since Luoyang was designated as the Eastern Capital, the sound of drums has been synchronized with that of Chang'an. Every morning, they will play a lively and extraordinary movement to welcome the sun of a new day.

And Gong Siye only came back at this time, obviously he hadn't returned all night, and hurried into the house after getting the news.

Gong Siming was sitting upright, and Lynx was lying beside him, his tiredness could not be concealed between his brows, but his eyes were extremely sharp: "Kneel down!"

Gong Siye's expression changed slightly, he knelt down without saying anything.

Gong Siming said word by word: "Tell me, what happened?"

Gong Siye shook his head and said: "I don't know what brother is talking about, I last night..."

"Shut up!!"

Gong Siming directly interrupted: "Do you know that the governor's office has issued an ultimatum to my Gong family. If there is no explanation within three days, Zheng Rentong and Li Yuanfang will do it!"

Gong Siye's expression suddenly became gloomy, and he said coldly: "They dare! My Gong family controls the water transportation in Luoyang. Not only the materials in Henan, but also the grain and grass in the pass must be supplied by water transportation. The crown prince brought all the officials to Luoyang. For what reason, it is not because of the catastrophe in the pass, they will never dare to act rashly at this time!"

Gong Siming said sadly: "So you admit it? You harmed Fengzheng?"

Gong Siye shut his mouth.

Gong Siming said: "Fengzheng went to poison Zheng Rentong's only son. It was supported by you, and the purpose was to stimulate Zheng Rentong? I asked you if there was anything wrong with your side branch, and you answered me that it was nothing serious. Now stop lying and deceiving... Tell me , why exactly?"

After a moment of silence, Gong Siye said: "It's the military fields in Luozhou, some of which have been occupied by my Gong family's children."

Gong Siming's body shook suddenly, and hissed: "The military fields in Luozhou are the best fertile fields in Henan Province. Those who can be allocated these fields are all key figures in the army. How dare you occupy them? Who are they occupying?" piece?"

Gong Siye said: "The area of ​​the Beiya Baiqi was originally done by Gong Taoguang. He was afraid of being discovered, so he came to beg me, and I had no choice but to cover it up for him. Unexpectedly, someone went around and reported to Zheng Rentong. To investigate this matter in detail, it was Gong Taoguang who came up with a plan to poison Zheng Hui, and I had to agree to it..."

Although the younger brother completely dismissed the responsibility, Gong Siming shook his head halfway through hearing it and said: "Okay, don't make it up anymore, you are not such a person."

"The old fifth's dislike for side branches is shown on the face, you take it into your heart, and you can still coax them with clever words on weekdays, and get their support."

"Actually, this is enough. Whether it is true or false, as long as the family is united, the family can grow and develop. When the Gong family has strength, we can help each branch to divide the houses."

"But what you are doing now is to lead the whole family to a dead end. The fifth child has been naughty since he was a child, and he knows what is good or bad at critical moments. Why are you not as good as him?"

Gong Siye gritted his teeth and said: "Brother, the matter has come to this point, it is useless to talk about sincerity, we have to find a way to tide over the difficulties."

Gong Siming nodded: "Good! Good! I want to hear what you plan to do?"

Gong Siye said: "Since Zheng Rentong and Li Yuanfang have recognized my Gong family, the conflict is inevitable. Fortunately, I am also prepared."

"Recently, a large number of ships have piled up at Beishi Wharf. I left them intentionally. The ships transporting grain and grass are all blocked. If they want to drive them all out, then we don't have to be polite and set them on fire."

"At that time, after the governor's mansion has finished fighting the fire, we will have to consider re-delivery of food. We will have time to destroy all evidence."

"The re-operation of the water transport is inseparable from the support of my Gong family. At worst, donate some money and things. There is a chance to survive this calamity..."

Gong Siming closed his eyes when he heard the words, and fell silent.

Seeing him not saying a word for a long time, Gong Siye said: "Brother, what do you think?"

Gong Siming finally opened his mouth and said in a trembling voice, "Come on!"

Several sturdy servants came in from outside the hall, including two dark-faced Kunlun slaves, who said in official Chinese, "Ah Lang!"

Gong Siming pointed at his younger brother: "Drag him down and lock him up. You take turns to watch over him, and don't allow him to come into contact with anyone!"

Gong Siye changed color: "Brother, how can you do this?"

Gong Siming said in a trembling voice: "You forced me, I must protect the Gong family, my family's decades-old foundation cannot be destroyed in the hands of a thief like you!"

Gong Siye's face became grim: "Brother, you call me a thief? You are for this family, and I am also for this family!"

Gong Siming had no strength left, so he waved his hand to show the servant to take him down.

But at this moment, the lynx next to him suddenly opened his eyes, bared his teeth, and gave a warning.

late.

A figure flashed in suddenly, coming behind Gong Siye who was being suppressed by the servant, the bright light in his hand flashed.

Several servants of the Gong Mansion couldn't even scream, so their throats were cut.

The strong Kunlun slave reacted relatively quickly, but he didn't protect the master and was about to run away in a hurry.

Then a disgusted voice was heard: "Ghost-like monster!"

The brilliance flashed, and they had just run a few steps before their bodies were covered in bloodstains, and they fell limply, their throats were cut, and they whimpered with extreme fear, and then gradually fell silent.

Seeing the slaves carefully selected by the mansion being tortured and killed in such a way, Gong Siming felt chills all over his body: "Who are you?"

The shooter wears a wide-brimmed hat with a long veil hanging from the brim, covering the whole body.

It can only be seen that the figure is medium, neither tall nor short, holding a long knife in his hand, the tip of the knife is drooping, dripping blood, and the voice is cold: "You don't need to know who I am, as long as you know that I am helping your brother! "

Gong Siming looked at his younger brother who got up, and said sadly: "It seems that you have already prepared!"

Gong Siye said in a low voice: "Brother, please forgive me, I have no turning back... How dare you bastard!"

It was the lynx that rushed over, extremely fast, and opened its mouth to bite.

However, as soon as the man in black handed the knife forward, he cut off the lynx's claw: "Hey! It's quite fierce!"

The knife flashed again, and Lynx's body was lifted up and thrown out fiercely.

Seeing the fifth brother's most precious lynx break through the window and fall into the yard, Gong Siye was also startled, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, don't hurt my brother!"

The man in black sneered: "You are touching the benevolence of a woman now, something really happened, I'm afraid you will regret it later!"

Gong Siye said: "This is not a woman's benevolence. The Gong family is headed by my elder brother. I can't replace him. Now that you have moved him, you will regret it!"

The man in black snorted, his figure flickered, and he disappeared suddenly.

Gong Siye pursed his lips, tied up Gong Siming with a rope, and stuffed the cloth: "Brother, I'm sorry!"

Gong Siming whimpered and wanted to say something, but he could only watch helplessly as his always obedient brother tied himself up and walked out.

At the same time, Gong Siguang, who woke up next door, watched his lynx fall in the courtyard, struggled for a moment, and stopped moving.

He wanted to rush over at the first moment, but when he thought of the life of his second brother and the life of the whole family, he stopped abruptly and trembled all over.

Finally, Gong Siguang covered his mouth, turned around, and walked quickly towards the backyard.

The mansion has been mobilized, and Gong Siye's voice can be heard giving orders from a distance.

However, his footsteps were normal at first, barely maintaining his composure, and his servants did not dare to disturb him.

After leaving the yard, he ran all the way.

When he arrived at the back door of Zheng's mansion, Gong Siguang burst into tears and slapped desperately:

"Li Jiyi! Li Jiyi! They imprisoned the second brother and killed my Caoshangfei! My Caoshangfei!!"
