Chapter 221: Deep into the Tiger's Den
Yinreng's boat soon caught up with the eldest prince and the thirteenth prince. Yinzhi looked very indignant about Yinreng's arrival, but he was actually relieved in his heart.
Ever since Mingzhu collapsed, he knew that he no longer had the ability to fight back. He blamed himself before because he clearly didn't intend to make a big deal out of it, but ended up being easily influenced and fell into the trap because of the constant gossip from others.
Later, he was already put under house arrest, and many people joined because of him. There was no way out. He was on the tiger's back and could only follow the same path to the end.
Who would have thought that the Second Prince would suddenly fall from the throne of Crown Prince, and then Mingzhu would be liquidated. But to be honest, it's better now. When Mingzhu was able to keep his life, he knew that the Second Prince had let him go.
Everyone knows that the eldest prince's party and the prince's party have been fighting each other to the death in recent years. In fact, the two brothers are not as blood-thirsty as others describe. They both remember the bottom line. They fight and argue, but in fact they do not target individuals or families.
To be honest, if it weren't for the previous incident with the aide, I think the second brother would have played with them for a while longer. Who would have thought that the eighth brother would have had ulterior motives so early?
Before Mingzhu left Beijing, they actually met in private. Mingzhu had already guessed about his farewell and analyzed the situation that would follow. The conclusion was that Lao Ba should not be trusted and should not get involved. If there was a chance, Lao Er should get closer.
Who was Mingzhu? To be honest, Mingzhu was a well-deserved position. Although Suo Etu and Mingzhu had been fighting fiercely for years, in fact, if Kangxi had not wanted to support a force to curb Mingzhu, Suo Etu would have been just an ordinary military general.
Maybe the other side is smart in fighting, but when it comes to court affairs and strategy, two Soetu cannot beat one Mingzhu.
Therefore, Yinreng stayed away from his great uncle from the very beginning of his life and never gave him any chance from beginning to end. Even if Soetu became more powerful in this life, he did not dare to touch Yinreng's bottom line.
To put it simply, Yinzhi was very happy about Yinreng's arrival. To be honest, the eighth brother was a bit evil. Although he looked weak on the outside, when it came to insidiousness, ten Yinzhis could not compare to him.
Thinking about the things he had been involved in before, nine out of ten times he was stabbed in the back. For someone like that, Yinzhen, who wanted to live a safe life, just wanted to stay away from him.
The Thirteenth Prince was even happier. He came out this time to make some achievements and to get some training. However, since he went south, he was trapped on the boat by the mynah bird and couldn't go anywhere. Not only that, he was arranged to read on the boat under the pretext of reading more and understanding the local customs.
What kind of place is this? We're on a boat. Not only is it shaking and making people dizzy, but there's also a lot of moisture. Isn't it difficult for him to read in such an environment?
Fortunately, the second brother has arrived. Although he doesn't know this second brother, he has heard the fourth brother praise him. It can be said that this second brother is one of the people the fourth brother admires the most. Anyone who can make such a serious fourth brother admire him must be very capable.
After Yinreng came over, the speed of the ship instantly increased by more than double. Not only that, Yinreng also handed the half tiger talisman directly to Prince Yinzhi of Zhi, asking him to directly connect with the local army so that they could provide support at any time.
When Yinzhi got the half tiger talisman, he was stunned. Even Yinxiang was dumbfounded. That was a tiger talisman. Getting it was equivalent to controlling all the armies in Guangdong and Guangxi. Yet his second brother just gave it to him so casually.
Yinzhen: "You're just giving it to me like this, aren't you afraid that I'll just walk away or leave you in vain?"
Yinxiang also stared at Yinreng closely, only to see Yinreng spread his hands and smiled: "Just give it to me like this, do you want to do this? Big brother, can you do it?"
Yinzhi stared at Yinreng for a while, then laughed out loud, "Hahahahaha", and then slapped Yinreng on the shoulder: "Good boy, since you trust me so much, I will definitely not let you down. Don't worry, as long as you say the word, I will bring people to rescue you immediately, without any delay."
Yinreng remained impassive, but inwardly he let out a cry of "Ah!" and nearly cried out, "Yinzhi, you brute! Are you trying to show off your strength? Is it really necessary to slap yourself so hard? This shoulder must be red. I'll have to ask He Zhu to rub it with medicinal wine tonight."
Yinreng: "Brother, I feel relieved now that you have said this. All you need to do is wait for news. When the time comes, we will arrest the man and then we will just return to the capital to claim the credit."
Yinreng made it clear that as long as the task was completed, he would definitely get a lot of credit, and he would not take the lion's share. It would be whatever was due.
Yinzhen is now a man who needs to earn merit and a title to support his family. He plans to marry off his two daughters this year. In order to make his daughters look more glorious before they get married, he is willing to give it a try.
Yinzhen: "Okay, then it's settled. Big brother will get off the boat and go to the military camp soon. Everything else will depend on my second and thirteenth brothers."
Yinreng nodded, and Yinxiang followed suit: "Don't worry, big brother, I will definitely follow your plan."
The three brothers reached an agreement, and that night Yinzhen left the ship and went to the military camp with a small group of people. As for Yinreng and his men, they continued to move forward according to the plan.
Because the capital is some distance away from Guangdong and Guangxi, and the princes' trip is also a secret operation, Shi Tingzhu only received news that the princes were making a secret visit this time, but he really didn't know how many people they were.
This gave Yinreng an opportunity. When he got closer to the place, he no longer concealed the news and announced that there were two princes coming over. One was the former crown prince, and the other was the Thirteenth Prince who had just entered the court.
It wasn't that Yinreng hadn't considered hiding his identity; it was simply that as the Crown Prince, he had met many court officials, including the Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi, Shi Tingzhu. Even if he tried to hide it, it would be a waste of effort.
The secret weapon he used this time was actually Yinxiang. The fourth brother had mentioned this before. Although this kid is young, he is smart and intelligent, and is the kind of person who is bold and careful. If he can use it well this time, there might be an unexpected surprise.
So before entering the Guangdong and Guangxi regions, Yinreng had told Yinxiang to act like an ignorant young man, as naughty as possible, and to make a scene. He had never appeared in the court before, so few people knew him, so he was the one who had the final say on his character.
As for the rest, the secret guards have actually been investigating and handling it. Yinreng came here this time to take charge and ensure that there will be no unrest in Guangdong and Guangxi after the evidence is found.
The ship soon arrived at the port where the Governor's Mansion was located, and Shi Tingzhu came to greet him in person. Yinreng also gave Shi Tingzhu a lot of face and went into the Governor's Mansion with him and stayed there.
This also reassured Shi Tingzhu. After all, the people were on your territory and everything was done according to your requirements. If you made trouble again, you would have no way to explain yourself.
