Chapter 40

(PS: There are two updates today, the first one will be delivered, and the second one will be delivered at night, but it should not be at midnight. It will be on the new book list soon, and when it is coded, it will be updated.)
As the eldest son and eldest son of Geng Jimao, the former King of Jingnan in the Qing Dynasty, and the unshakable number one candidate for the next King of Jingnan, Geng Jingzhong had to be furious and hysterical after receiving the letter from Mu Tianyan Feige, the prefect of Xinghua. Geng Jimao was dying of illness, and he was about to inherit the throne and dominate one side. Such a big accident happened in Dingfan, and the person who had the accident was his own sister's sister-in-law, Shang Wanyi!After being slapped in the face by Chi Guoguo, one can imagine Geng Jingzhong's anger and shame!
In a rage, Geng Jingzhong summoned Fujian Governor Zu Zepu, Fujian Governor Liu Bingzheng, Fujian Commander-in-Chief Kong Yuanzhang, Fujian Navy Admiral Shi Lang and other important officials as soon as he received the news. The brigade of cavalry rushed to Xinghua Mansion overnight, preparing to personally direct the investigation of the case, to show some color to the bastards who dared to slap themselves in the face, and let them know whether this Fujian is Geng or Aixinjueluo!
Without stopping, Geng Jingzhong and his party, who were all cavalry, traveled more than 230 miles from Fuzhou to Putian in less than a day and a night, and they almost went to the city of Xinghua Prefecture like a whirlwind. Mu Tianyan, Xinghua General Soldier Wu Ying and the others did not dare to be negligent, and hurriedly let the north gate of Xinghua clear the road and martial law, and led a large group of local officials to welcome them out of the gate—no way, everyone who came this time They are all genuine immediate bosses, with current officials and current management.

"Get up." Geng Jingzhong is much more educated than his brother-in-law Shang Zhixin. Although he was already furious, when Mu Tianyan and other Xinghua officials kowtowed in front of the horses and pleaded guilty, Geng Jingzhong still didn't yell like his brother-in-law. Or just whip the whip, just force Mu Tianyan and the others to get up first, and then ask: "How's the situation? Have you found Xiao Gege in Pingnan Palace? Has the murderer been found?"

"Congratulations to my son, congratulations to my son, little Gege has been found, he is safe and sound, but he was a little frightened, and he is temporarily settled in the magistrate's yamen." Mu Tianyan was very shrewd, and quickly threw out a good news to calm him down. Geng Jingzhong was furious, and said again: "As for the murderer, although the lower ranks have not found out who did it, they have also found key clues."

"Good job." Geng Jingzhong's anger really receded a bit, and he swung his whip and shouted: "Go forward and lead me to see Xiao Gege. Talk about the case as you go, and don't hide anything."

"Tie!" Mu Tianyan agreed with Daqian, and hurried to lead Geng Jingzhong's horse in person, while walking, he introduced the case and circumstances to Geng Jingzhong in detail.Over there, Wu Ying and others did not dare to be negligent, they flocked to Zu Zepu, Liu Bingzheng, Kong Yuanzhang and other big officials, either leading the horses or falling into the stirrups, flattering and flattering.

During this period, Shi Lang, the admiral of the Fujian Navy, rarely had to ask Wu Ying, "General Wu, could it be that Taiwan's Zheng Ni's army did this? The navy you deployed on Meizhou Island recently found Taiwan's Zheng Ni's fleet. Change?"

"Go back to Shijun Gate, no." Wu Ying shook her head, and replied respectfully: "Recently, the defenders of Meizhou Island have not reported any changes in Zheng Nishui's division, and the accident occurred outside the boundary of the Forbidden Sea. The coastline is very far away, and the possibility of Master Zheng Nishui's attack is very small."

"Useless stuff!" Shi Lang glared at Wu Ying, secretly resenting that this subordinate would not frame him - Shi Lang, whose father and elder brother both died in the hands of Zheng Chenggong, hoped that this matter was done by the Taiwan army, if so , then Geng Jingzhong and Shang Kexi said that he would retaliate against the Taiwan army, and to attack Taiwan, the navy must be used. Under the recruitment of troops, horses, ships and guns, the status of Shi Lang, the admiral of the Fujian navy, naturally rose with the tide.

The subordinate is so ignorant of the fun, so in desperation, Shi Lang has no choice but to urge his horse to catch up with Geng Jingzhong, and listen to Mu Tianyan's case report with Geng Jingzhong, Zu Zepu and others, hoping to find clues about the Taiwan army's attack.And when Mu Tianyan talked about Fatty Lu's situation and identity, Shi Lang suddenly became interested and interrupted: "Wait, this is wrong, this Lu Yifeng, as the new county magistrate of Qujing, even if he enters according to the rules, Your Majesty sees, it should be the short-cut route of Guizhou, Hunan, Yangtze River, and the canal waterway, how can you choose Guangdong instead of the short-cut? Is there something wrong with Lu Yifeng?"

"Shi Junmen, it's their freedom to take the road they like, what's the problem?" Geng Jingzhong rolled his eyes unexpectedly, and said, "Besides, is the road in Guizhou peaceful? There are so many young people who don't accept Wang Hua on the road. Yi chieftain, maybe this Lu Yifeng is worried about this, so he detours to Guangdong."

"That's right, it's his business that Lu Yifeng is willing to go that way, so there's no need to make a fuss." Zu Zepu also said carelessly: "If Shi Junmen really feels suspicious, then when Lu Yifeng is interrogated later, we will ask Just ask."

"Eh?" Shi Lang's eyes widened, and he said to himself that Lu Yifeng, the selection officer for the West, made a mysterious detour to Guangdong and Fujian. Why did my two immediate superiors turn a blind eye to such a serious doubt, and instead helped him cover it up?

"Idiot!" Seeing the surprised and suspicious expression on Shi Lang's face, the slick and sophisticated Mu Tianyan couldn't help cursing in her heart, and said with a sneer in her heart: "Idiot! Zu Zepu is the eldest son of Zu Dashou, and Zu Dashou is the uncle of Pingxi King Wu Sangui , the two families are cousins ​​with broken bones and tendons, and Lu Yifeng is the west selection official selected by Wu Sangui. If he doesn't look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha, the governor Zuze Puzu will speak for you? Besides, Lu Yifeng is mysterious Bypassing Guangdong and Fujian may be responsible for the private contact between King Pingxi and Governor Zu, and you must investigate the reason why Lu Yifeng detoured to Fujian and Guangdong. Isn’t it self-inflicted?!”

While talking, Geng Jingzhong and Zu Zepu and his party had already arrived at the Yamen of the Xinghua magistrate, and when they entered the Yamen, Geng Jingzhong went directly to the back garden where Shang Wanyi stayed, and shouted affectionately in front of Shang Wanyi's door: "Wan Sister Yan, Brother Geng came to see you, you were shocked, are you okay?"

The door was pushed open, and Shang Wanyi with a cold expression came out of the room, blessed Geng Jingzhong, forced a smile, and said in a low voice: "Little sister Shang Wanyi, I have seen my elder brother, but I haven't seen you for many years. Is Shiboan okay?"

"Okay, we're all fine. But sister, you're shocked. It's all because of the uselessness of my brother's bastards. They didn't protect you well. My brother will take care of them after a while." Geng Jingzhong took Shang Wanyi's little hand, caring He asked: "How is it? Are you not injured? If you have any accident, I really have no way to explain it to Shang Shibo."

"Thank you for your concern, Brother Shi. My little sister is fine, but I was a little scared." Shang Wanyi replied lightly: "Also, my younger sister must apologize to Brother Shi, because I was ambushed by traitors, and the gifts I brought to Brother Shi and Geng Shibo Lost, this time I can only visit Shixiong and Shibo empty-handed."

"It's a small matter, as long as you're fine." Geng Jingzhong laughed and said, "Sister Wanyi is still polite. If such a big thing happened, the gift for Shixiong was lost first, and I want to replace you." The other elder sisters of my family are probably already crying and making noises to force Brother Shi to cut those traitors to pieces immediately."

"Little Gege, the last general, Shi Lang, dare to ask a question." Shi Lang was impatient to see the hypocritical politeness between Geng Jingzhong and Monk Wanyi, and couldn't wait to ask: "Little Gege, what happened to your team's attack?" ? Also, are the people who attacked you the rebellious army of Zheng Ni from Taiwan?"

Shang Wanyan turned her beautiful eyes, looked at Shi Lang coldly, and said lightly: "Return to General Shi, the situation was too chaotic at that time, and the little girl was frightened into a fool again, and I can't remember most of the situation clearly. If General Shi wants to know For these details, you can ask Master Lu Yifeng who is accompanying the little girl, thanks to him seeing the opportunity quickly this time, he took the little girl out of the siege, otherwise, the little girl will definitely not have the chance to meet Geng Shixiong again."

"Shi Junmen, little Gege has been frightened so much, why do you still sprinkle salt on her wound?" Geng Jingzhong also gave Shi Lang a dissatisfied look.

"The last general is rude, please forgive me." Shi Lang cupped his hands helplessly to make amends, and finally ordered to Mu Tianyan: "Mu Futai, please send someone to make arrangements immediately, Shi Ziye and the others are here to talk to Little Gege, I will Go and interrogate Lu Yifeng personally. By the way, there is also Lu Yifeng's injured servant, and I will also interrogate him."

"This..." Mu Tianyan was in a bit of a dilemma. Although Shi Lang was a senior official and was the admiral of Fujian, he didn't care about civil lawsuits, and now Geng Jingzhong, Zu Zepu, Liu Bingzheng, and Kong Yuanzhang, several bigger officials, were still squatting here. Then, Shi Lang wanted to interrogate Fatty Lu on his own behalf, so Mu Tianyan naturally didn't dare to agree casually.

"Shi Junmen, I really don't know what you are anxious about?" Geng Jingzhong became more and more annoyed, but considering that this matter is too big, the sooner the truth can be found out, the better, Geng Jingzhong suppressed his anger and said: "Okay then, Mu Futai Make arrangements, and we will interrogate Lu Yifeng's master and servant together immediately."

"My son, it's best to invite Gege to go too." Zeng Yangxing, Geng Jingzhong's number one confidant and dog-headed military adviser, came up and whispered in Geng Jingzhong's ear: "This matter is too complicated, and if there is a slight mistake, it may lose a thousand miles. Little Gege is here, so don’t be afraid that Lu Yifeng will say the wrong thing or say the wrong thing on purpose.”

Geng Jingzhong thought about it, so he nodded, turned to Shang Wanyan and said, "Sister, go and ask Lu Yifeng together with Brother Shi, you are both involved, and you can help each other to recall, the more detailed the better, Brother Shi It’s also good to find clues to uncover the real culprit and avenge you girls.”

Shang Wanyan nodded, agreeing.At that moment, Mu Tianyan no longer hesitated, and hurriedly asked people to arrange tea seats in the back hall, as well as a pen and ink book office, and sent people to bring Fatty Lu and Xiao Erlang to the back hall, and then invited Geng Jingzhong and his party Killing to the back hall—Fatty Lu, who will be interrogated in the sixth hall!

………………

The story was divided into two parts. When Geng Jingzhong and others were still talking to Shang Wanyi in the garden, Fatty Lu and Xiao Erlang had already been taken to the back hall of the yamen by the yamen servants of Xinghua Mansion, although the yamen servants did not say why I brought Fatty Lu here, but when I saw Xiao Erlang who was injured, he was also carried to the scene, there were additional seats and seats in the hall, and the book office busy preparing for the statement, the bold and careful Fatty Lu immediately understood ——The main show is about to begin!

"Erlang, are you okay?" Fatty Lu, who was still pretending to be stupid, dared not speak in front of the yamen servant, and could only quietly ask Xiao Erlang's situation with his eyes.

"Master, I'm fine." Xiao Erlang understood, nodded slightly and answered with his eyes.

"Get ready, cooperate well, don't make mistakes." Fatty Lu made another gesture quietly.

"Understood, please rest assured, young master." Xiao Erlang, who had already checked his confession with Fatty Lu, replied with a gesture.

"Very good." Fatty Lu calmed down a little, and said in his heart, "Come on, others started to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty by accumulating strength, and I started to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty by framing the Tartar Zhongliang, and put those famous and capable people in history The traitors and traitors and the famous Tartar generals killed all the hard-core lackeys, and they were wiped out! It will be much easier to raise troops against the Qing and expel the Tartars in the future."
