25. Xiang Liang was arrested
Xiang Mansion.
In the lobby, Xiang Liang said with a very gloomy face: "The information I just got from the Wu County Prison was indeed caught by the Qin people."
In front of Xiang Liang, Xiang Yu, Xiang Bo, Xiang Sheng and other core members of the Xiang family looked bad.
Xiang Yu suddenly stood up and said, "Father Ji, you must find a way to rescue Brother Zhuang!"
Xiang Bo also said: "Yes, Zhuang'er is young after all. If he can't withstand the torture of the Qin people, our Xiang family will be in trouble."
Xiang Liang snorted, feeling quite irritated.
Since the last time he killed someone from Xia Xiang and had to run away to Kuaiji, Xiang Liang has actually learned his lesson and has been acting in a low-key manner over the years.
Unexpectedly, the arrival of Zhao Zheng, the First Emperor of Qin, destroyed all this. Xiang Yu took action to rescue Yu Ji, and Xiang Bo took action to Zhang Liang's friendship.
With the development of things to this day, except for the Yu family and Zhang Liang, the Xiang family has actually become the third force involved in the resistance to Qin State this time!
Considering that Zhao Zheng is in Wu County at this moment, and considering that Zhao Zheng has always been astonishing as thunder, it is not an exaggeration to say that Xiang is as dangerous as he is tired.
But Xiang Liang knew that he must not panic at this moment.
As the patriarch, if Xiang Liang is in chaos, how could he expect the people below to be calm and come up with a real good idea?
Xiang Liang knocked on the table, letting everyone's attention come to him, and then said lightly: "Don't panic first. Judging from our eyeliner in the prison, Zhao Gao seemed to have just gone in to interrogate Zhuang'er. I will communicate with the county magistrate Yin Tong first to see if there is any turning point. If not, we will find another way!"
When everyone heard this, they nodded repeatedly and said yes.
The cooperation between Xiang and the county magistrate Yin Tong over the years has been quite pleasant. Xiang Liang has even become a guest of honor for the county magistrate Yin Tong many times. If it weren't for the previous destruction, Xiang Liang would have long become an official in the Kuaiji County Governor's Office, and he was the kind with absolutely great status.
Only Xiang Yu was a little uneasy and couldn't help saying, "Father Ji, Yin Tong may not have any problem, but Yin Tong's son Yin Yi is very close to Hu Hai, the son of Zhao Zheng. What if Yin Yi said bad things about us in front of Hu Hai? If I asked me, it would be better to send an envoy to Yin Tong first. If there is really nothing, Ji Father Ji, please communicate slowly with Yin Tong, that's it."
Xiang Yu actually regretted it in his heart at this moment.
According to Xiang Liang, Xiang Zhuang should have wanted to catch up with Xiang Yu after Xiang Yu left the village.
However, what Xiang Zhuang did not expect was that Xiang Yu was sitting in a small boat and there was no one left. When Xiang Zhuang chased through the reed marsh with deep feet and shallow feet, Xiang Yu had already gone ashore and ran away. Then the unlucky Xiang Zhuang bumped into the Qin soldiers who were just coming to search.
If Xiang Zhuang had followed Xiang Liang directly back to Wu County at that time, such a thing would have happened.
Something happened to Xiang Zhuang, and Xiang Yu was uneasy, so he naturally felt that everything was safe.
Xiang Liang shook his head and said, "No, this situation is already quite urgent now. If I send someone else, wouldn't Yin Tong feel that our Xiang family has ulterior motives? I must go there in person."
Despite Xiang Yu's dissuasion, Xiang Liang took advantage of the night to the county magistrate's mansion in Yintong that night.
Yin Tong met Xiang Liang in the lobby.
Xiang Liang respectfully bowed to Yin Tong: "I have met Brother Yin."
Since Xiang was very useful to Yin Tong, Yin Tong also did a lot of superficial skills, such as calling her brother and brother in private.
However, today, Xiang Liang did not receive the usual warm hospitality from Yin Tong.
Yin Tong looked at Xiang Liang and did not return the gift. Instead, he said with a smile on his face: "Captain Xiang, you and I are not close to each other, so don't just want to have a relationship so deliberately, right?"
Xiang Liang was shocked when he heard this and said, "What does the county magistrate mean?"
Yin Tong's face darkened and he said coldly: "Xiang Liang, your son Xiang Zhuang has been involved in the case of hostage of His Highness Hu Hai, and is the most suspected criminal. I think your Xiang family is very likely to be resentful and secretly cooperate with the thief Zhang Liang. He originally wanted to send troops to capture him, but he didn't expect you to come to the door. Come on, take Xiang Liang down for me!"
After Yin Tong finished speaking, more than a dozen Qin soldiers rushed out of the side and instantly controlled Xiang Liang firmly.
Xiang Liang was shocked and couldn't help but scream: "Minister, you and I have had many interactions before. You should know that our Xiang family has always been cautious and it is absolutely impossible for them to participate in such things!"
Yin Tong sneered and said, "Who has had contact with you? I'm really not familiar with you, don't mess around with your relationship! Why are you still standing there? Take him down for me!"
After Xiang Liang was taken down, Yin Tong then let out a breath and wiped the sweat from his cheeks.
One person was transferred from the back hall, and it was Zhao Gao.
Zhao Gao looked at Yin Tong and chuckled: "Mr. Yin County, it seems that this Xiang family is indeed closely related to you."
Yin Tong had sweat on his forehead, and he hurriedly smiled flatteringly: "The CRRC Mansion Order misunderstood. I'm really not familiar with it. Now Xiang Liang has caught it, I don't know what to do with the other remnants of the Xiang family?"
Zhao Gao said coldly: "Do you still need to ask? Since you have decided to use Xiang as a scapegoat, you will naturally send troops to round up Xiang's house immediately, and no one can let them run away! If there is any resistance, you will be killed without any consideration!"
Yin Tong's body trembled slightly, and he thought to himself that the CRRC Mansion Order was indeed worthy of being with His Majesty for many years. He wanted to destroy the clan with one move.
But at this moment, Yin Tong actually had no choice. Since he had followed Zhao Gao and wanted to treat Xiang as a scapegoat, he would naturally be able to go all the way to the dark.
Yin Tong shouted in a low voice and said, "Yin Yi! Quickly mobilize all the people in the city to surround the Xiang mansion. All the people in the Xiang family inside were arrested! If there is any resistance, they will be killed without any consequences!"
It's late at night.
Xiang Yu was still a little restless. He had been lying in bed for a long time, but he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. He simply sat up and lit the oil lamp, and stared at the light alone in a daze.
"Is the incident in that article "Records of the Grand Historian: Biography of Xiang Yu" true?"
"If I had responded because of the things recorded above, would it be completely different from the records in the "Records of the Grand Historian"?"
"Will Zhao Zheng, the First Emperor of Qin, really die in a few months?"
"And Zhang Liang, what's going on with him?"
It seemed that I had sensed Xiang Yu's thoughts, and suddenly, a very simple book appeared in Xiang Yu's mind again.
It's still the familiar "Records of the Grand Historian".
