Chapter 12 Escape 2

When Xu Jinghong was about to say his plan, a soldier quickly came to the mouth of the alley and seemed to report something important. After seeing Qian Zhenchuan and Deng Jiuguang nodding, he came to them, put his head over and whispered something.

Xu Jinghong retreated. Although he was sensitive, he did not intend to eavesdrop on the other party's conversation at this time. Because he already knew what the other party wanted to report, the person came from the direction of Fang's mansion. Obviously, he found what he wanted them to see from there, which also saved his own words.

Sure enough, after the soldier left, the faces of the two adults were better than before. They smiled at Xu Jinghong and said, "It seems that Team Xu is doing everything well and has even found a substitute for the dead?"

Xu Jinghong did not deny this, but also smiled and said, "Yes, what I did today is to eliminate the damage for Lingzhou, but I don't want to involve the officials in Lingzhou, so I have left enough evidence to prove the identity of the murderer in the Fang family."

"Team Xu is really good at calculating! But are you really a fool when you are a court and a fool in the capital? Can a few flags really convince them that it was the work of those horse thieves? In addition, now the Fang family has been killed. If they can't get the murderer and hand it over to the court and the Fang family, do you think they will recognize it like this? Qian Zhenchuan suddenly sank his face and asked.

Xu Jinghong laughed and said, "Why are you sure that you can't hold those horse thieves? I just want to talk about the problem of these horse thieves!"

"Hmm?" Hearing this, even Deng Jiuguang was a little moved: "Are you sure to find and eradicate the horse thief who harmed my Lingzhou? In order to deal with them, we have used thousands of troops to encircle and suppress them, but every time they know the news in advance that they have escaped without a trace. Are you really so capable?

"Sometimes foreigners can do things that people in their hometown can't do!" Xu Jinghong said, "And the governor must know the key to the problem mentioned by the general."

Of course, Qian Zhenchuan knew why the government repeatedly sent troops to suppress and let those horse thieves escape first, because the Fang family secretly communicated the news behind. This is why the Fang family can completely rise in Lingzhou in a short period of time and take most of the business in their hands. In addition to taking advantage of it, mutual use with horse thieves is also the key.

After listening to Qian Zhenchuan's explanation, Deng Jiuguang was angry and sighed heavily: "No wonder! I have always wondered that every action in the past would be known by the thief, but it turned out to be so! What this family has done should indeed be killed!"

Xu Jinghong said something that shocked them at this time: "And the reason why I am sure to let the horse thief be this ghost is because they are already ghosts!"

"What?" After hearing this, the two couldn't help shouting. The news really shocked them. A team of horse thieves who came and went without a trace and could hardly be caught were killed. It's really surprising: "Is this true?"

"It's true, because it was my brothers who killed them!" Xu Jinghong nodded solemnly: "Otherwise, where did we get the banner of these horse thieves? On the way to Lingzhou the day before yesterday, these horse thieves wanted to intercept us halfway, but I saw through them and took the initiative to kill them in one fell swoop!"

Although Xu Jinghong's words are light, it is really unbelievable for these two officials who suffer from horse thieves. However, on second thought, they felt that Xu Jinghong would not deceive himself. At least his ability to kill the Fang family in one fell swoop is enough to show his ability, and it is acceptable to kill a group of horse thieves.

"Where is the body of the horse thief now?" It was Deng Jiuguang who first reacted and asked a fundamental question. The best way to prove that the horse thief was killed by Xu Jinghong is naturally to find their bodies.

"Just outside the city, it happened. I will ask the general's people to bring the body back." Xu Jinghong said and looked at the two: "Now you two should be able to believe me, right?"

"Even if it's true as you said, there is still a problem with this matter." Although his face eased a lot and began to adopt Xu Jinghong's meaning, Qian Zhenchuan still had a big problem to solve. If he could not be satisfied, Xu Jinghong and others still could not escape.

"Your excellency, please speak." Xu Jinghong spread out his hand and motioned.

"That's how we should explain to the Fang family! Even if we identified the horse thieves as the real culprits and sent their bodies to the capital, I'm afraid the Fang family may not be satisfied, right? They will condemn Deng Shoubei and me on the charge of lax punishment. If this can't be solved, we still can't adopt your method. We have to take you and those people down!"

Xu Jinghong smiled softly: "It seems that what the governor really cares about is not someone who killed the Fang family, but how to make an explanation to the Fang family in the court so that they won't blame you for this matter. I don't know if I understand it this way?"

At this stage, there was no need to cover it up. Qian Zhenchuan nodded calmly: "Yes, this is what I value. After all, it is the time when the family is in government, and the status of the Fang family in the court is not low. It is not difficult to deal with local officials like me.

"That's good, that's good!" At this time, Deng Jiuguang also interrupted: "Although all the horse thieves have been awarded the head, we can give an explanation to the court, but they will still think that this is my general who guarding the city is not strict, so I let the horse thief easily enter the city. In this way, even if you avoid the disaster, the next days will not be better!"

Xu Jinghong looked at them and laughed: "Although you two have a long-term vision, you are still blind. Since the Fang family and the horse thief have an unspeakable secret, why don't we push all this on the Fang family? Everything was caused by the Fang family to lead the wolf into the house, which led to the disaster of today's destruction of the family. What does it have to do with the two adults?

"Are you going to blame all the blame on the Fang family? Is this to make us completely hostile to the Fang family?" Qian Zhenchuan's face suddenly changed and stared at Xu Jinghong: "You are hurting us!"

"No, I didn't hurt you, but showed you the safest way. You think that in this way, the family will not dare to harm you in a short time, otherwise others will only think that they are taking private revenge. Although the Fang family has a prominent position in the court, he still has many enemies, and it is impossible to give such a handle to others!"

"You also said it was in a short time, what about the future?" Qian Zhenchuan asked in a cold voice.

"Future? In the future, the Fang family will be even less likely to trouble you, because they will have a bigger enemy in the capital. Xu Jinghong said easily. The two were stunned, and then they knew who he was talking about. They both looked at him and said, "You said you were going to the capital to fight with the Fang family?" The words are full of disbelief, and he obviously thinks that he is not qualified.

Xu Jinghong nodded solemnly: "Yes, otherwise why do you think the Fang family should take the effort to eradicate me here? It was because the Fang family in the capital knew that my arrival would bring disaster to them that they wanted to eradicate me as soon as possible, and even did not hesitate to use the horse thief to wait for the stage.

"Are you sure that you can fight with the Fang family in the capital?" The fact was in front of him, which made Qian Zhenchuan a little moved again: "What are you relying on?"

"It was my last name!" Xu Jinghong has decided to use all available resources at this time: "My surname is Xu, what do you think?"

"Xu? "Does Zhongyonghou have relatives with you?" Deng Jiuguang, a general, was most familiar with the Xu family and immediately asked.

Xu Jinghong just smiled indifferently and did not explain much, but this was enough to make them believe his identity. Then he took out an account book from his arms and put it in Qian Zhenchuan's hand: "And after today, I am more sure. With these books and other letters in hand, I have given the Fang family a heavy blow!"

Qian Zhenchuan opened the account book in his hand, turned it over casually, and closed it. It's better for him not to know these confidential things. However, his attitude has completely turned to Xu Jinghong: "I believe you!" After returning the books, he continued, "If these books and letters can really be believed by the world, the Fang family will indeed decline soon!"

Xu Jinghong said, "Now is the time for the two adults to make a choice. Did you choose to risk your own murder to take me down and hand me over to the court? Or put all the blame on those horse thieves, so that the Fang family will be completely finished?

"..." After looking at each other, the two finally nodded their heads heavily: "I hope you can count what you said today, and we will believe you this time!"

Seeing that the two finally adopted their own method, Xu Jinghong also took a deep breath. At this time, he found that his back had also been soaked with sweat. On the surface, he seemed to be calm as usual, but he was actually very nervous.

After Xu Jinghong and the two adults went back, the officers and soldiers retreated in an orderly manner. The brothers who saw this scene had a deeper respect for Xu Jinghong. Xiong Geng couldn't help asking, "Tian Zheng, how did you persuade them?"

"Benefits! I just let them choose a direction that is most beneficial to them!" Xu Jinghong looked at the slowly rising sun and said, "Now I begin to believe that I will do something great, because this time even God is helping me! If it hadn't been for the previous interception outside the city, I'm afraid that I would have no way to fight with the deep-rooted rich family even if I entered the capital, but from now on, I have confidence!"

The sun just shines on Xu Jinghong's body at this time, which makes his body seem to emit a dazzling light, creating a different mood in people's hearts. It seems that this teenager's future achievements must be unlimited!

After getting rid of the crisis in front of him, Xu Jinghong did not rest, but took his brothers back to the Sun family's house. He wanted to tell Sun Zaiyuan and his son what he had done in the Fang family as soon as possible, so as to comfort the growth and rest the dead.

Sun Zaiyuan, who stayed in front of the spirit all night, was even more surprised with tears after listening to Xu Jinghong's words. He suddenly knelt down to Xu Jinghong: "Team Xu is avenging my dead mother and wife, and it is difficult for me to repay even if I am an ox and a horse. Please accept my three bows!"

Sun Xueru and Sun Rongrong also knelt down at the same time and bowed to their benefactor with their father. Xu Jinghong quickly reached out to stop Sun Zaiyuan: "Mr. Sun doesn't have to do this. What I have done is not only for you, but also for myself and the people of Lingzhou! The Fang family should be killed, so I will kill it, that's all!"

"Although you say so, you have saved the little daughter after all. In addition to the great enemy of my Sun family, my grandson Zaiyuan will definitely remember it and never forget it!"

After Xu Jinghong helped him up, he asked, "I don't know what Mr. Sun plans to do next?" Do you want to stay in Lingzhou to guard the system for the deceased, or help the spirit return home?

Sun Zaiyuan did not answer this question, but looked directly at Xu Jinghong and said, "What is the Xu team going to do? This time you killed all the Fang family in Lingzhou. Even if you can find a scapegoat, I'm afraid that the Fang family in the capital may not let you go, right?

"Of course, although they can't find conclusive evidence, they will try to deal with me if they just doubt it. In fact, even if there is no Lingzhou, they will not keep me, otherwise there will be no interception on the road.

"As for my plan, I naturally want to have a good fight with the Fang family! I have now mastered the hard evidence that they used the Lingzhou Fang family to rip off the people for disaster, which is enough to make them unable to take it away!" Xu Jinghong's answer was very frank.

Sun Zaiyuan touched his beard and said after a long time, "Does the team really think that these can really eradicate the Fang family? Also, do you think there will be no more branches in the future?

Xu Jinghong was stunned, but he really didn't think much about these. In fact, in many things, it is the soul of later generations that dominates his thoughts. He often looks at things in future generations, and this time is no exception. He believes that the evidence of the Fang family's guilt has been available, which is enough for the Fang family to be convicted by the court, but listening to Sun Zaiyuan's words, it seems that this is not the case.

"It seems that Team Xu is also seeing a problem. No matter how many twists and turns we will have on the way back to Beijing, although your evidence is detailed, I'm afraid it will be difficult to really hurt the Fang family. In fact, in all parts of the Song Dynasty, which of those rich families is not harmful to the people. They can't compare with the power of the Fang family. The local government also has enough evidence, but there is still nothing they can do about it. From small to large, the team should be able to understand the problem, right?

"It is true that as long as the team is making these evidence public, the other party's blow is still great, but it can't hurt their root, and it may even make the world's rich families regard the team as an enemy. At that time, it not only failed to eliminate an enemy, but also established more enemies. , this is really unwise.

"At that time, the team will face the frontal attack of the rich family directly. Not to mention that the team has no foundation, even if it holds the power of the government, I'm afraid it is impossible to deal with them."

This enlightening reminder made Xu Jinghong suddenly wake up. He really regarded things too simply. If I really did as I just said, I'm afraid I won't even leave the bone slag. This time, his freshly dried clothes were wet with sweat again, and half a day later he said astringently, "In my opinion, what should I do?"

"If you want to deal with a rich family, you should borrow the power of a rich family! Now the team has almost no team. The only thing they can do after arriving in the capital is to find a solid backer and then deal with the Fang family through the strength of others.

"Mr. Gaojian, Jinghong has been taught!" Xu Jinghong couldn't help saliting and said sincerely, "Sir, you have such a great talent. I hope you can agree."

"Do you want me to help you?" There was a smile in Sun Zaiyuan's eyes and asked softly.

"Yes, my husband's ability can't be used by Ye Hao because he is not the director of the military. If he can go to Beijing with me, I think my husband's ability will be displayed!"

"Team Xu is saving my daughter and killing my enemies. My grandson should repay me with such a great kindness! I agreed to your invitation, but there are a few requests, and I hope you can also allow it!"

"Sir, please speak." Xu Jinghong was very happy and said hurriedly.

"First, my mother's new funeral, as the son of man, should help her go back to her hometown, so she is not going to Beijing with the team this time. I won't come to Beijing until March.

"This is a matter of course!"

"Second, I hope that the team is acting as I said after entering Beijing, don't be in a hurry, and don't show the evidence in front of others, and wait for the opportunity!"

"Okay, Mr.li hai has just made it clear, and Jinghong naturally knows the importance!"

"Third, I also hope that the team can look at it for a long time and not dwell on its own enmity. Of course, this can only be done after we stand firm in the capital.

Xu Jinghong was stunned, but still nodded: "I also follow what you said, and I will help the world!"

"So, Sun Zaiyuan pays a visit to the lord!" With that, Sun Zaiyuan said that he had fallen down again, but it was the etiquette between the superiors and subordinates. This time, Xu Jinghong did not stop him again, but came forward to help him after worshiping him. He knew that he had got a counselor who was really loyal to him this time!

After becoming Xu Jinghong's counselor, Sun Zaiyuan did not see him again and said his own opinion: "The Fang family is powerful, and this time the master destroyed his family again, they will certainly not let the master go. Although the brothers are elite, they have a lot of dreams at night, so they can't be on guard from time to time.

"What can you teach Jinghong?" Xu Jinghong was also worried about the constant trouble along the way and asked quickly.

"In fact, it's very simple to solve this difficult problem, which is just a way to change the waterway!" Sun Zaiyuan said with a smile.
