Lin Wanqing tried hard to recall, but couldn't think of anything related to it. She shook her head and said, "I don't know."
"I suppose the Queen is too young to know about this. Bincheng is a small city bordering Beili. I was only ten years old that year. Beili attacked Bincheng, and the city's defense forces were insufficient, so it quickly fell. In order to protect the people in the city, my father had no choice but to pretend to surrender and temporarily save the lives of the people of Bincheng."
Unexpectedly, Su Yunfeng led the Su family army to provide support. After defeating the Northern Li army, he wrote to the late emperor, saying that my father was greedy for profit, cowardly, and surrendered to the country, causing more than half of the people of Bincheng to be killed or injured, and almost destroying the city.
The late emperor listened to Su Yunfeng's slander and sentenced my entire family to be executed. I was studying away from home at the time, and upon hearing the news, I fled to Beili, which saved my life.
The Su family ruined my family and caused my death; I will repay them in kind and make them taste the bitterness of being exterminated along with their entire clan!
Lin Wanqing's eyes flickered when she heard Chen Fu say this. "Chen Fu, I am also sworn enemies with the Su family, which is the same as yours. I will fulfill your wish, and I hope that you will be loyal to me as you said. I will definitely not treat you unfairly then."
Chen Fu knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, as long as the Su family can be destroyed, my life, Chen Fu's life, belongs to Your Majesty. If Your Majesty wants Chen Fu to die, I, Chen Fu, will never blink an eye."
After Chen Fu left, Lin Wanqing sent someone to inquire about the events in Bincheng back then.
The information she received was that Bincheng was a small city, and the local official back then was a county magistrate named Fu Dongsheng.
When Bei Li attacked Bincheng, he was afraid that his family would be implicated, so he opened the city gates and let the Bei Li people into the city, as long as they promised to guarantee the safety of his whole family.
While the Northern Li people did not harm Fu Dongsheng's family upon entering the city, they slaughtered half of the people in Bincheng, turning the entire city into a river of blood.
The people's grain and money were plundered by the Beili people. The women in the city were either raped and killed or kidnapped. Even pregnant women were not spared.
The Northern Li soldiers who attacked Bincheng were not the regular army of the Northern Li court; they were just roving soldiers and some were even bandits who were just looking to make some money in Bincheng because they lacked food in winter.
In fact, these Northern Li people never thought they could take over Bincheng; they were just satisfied with robbing some things to get through the winter.
Unexpectedly, Fu Dongsheng, the local official of Bincheng, was so cowardly that he ordered the city gates to be opened and let them in without much fighting.
Since that's the case, they naturally didn't hold back. Like a starving wolf rushing into a flock of sheep, they acted recklessly, burning, killing, and looting without restraint.
If Fu Dongsheng had led the city's defenders to resist, even if they couldn't defeat the Northern Li people, they could have easily held out until Su's army arrived to provide support.
But he didn't even put up a fight before handing over Bincheng and its people, leading to these consequences.
It's no wonder that Su Yunfeng impeached such a person.
In the end, the entire Fu family was executed, except for Fu Cheng, the third son of the Fu family, who went missing and has not been found to this day.
Fu Cheng, Chen Fu.
hehe.
Lin Wanqing looked at the intelligence report in her hand and a smile appeared on her lips.
Given Fu Dongsheng's actions, it wouldn't be unjust to execute his entire family, but in Chen Fu's mouth, Fu Dongsheng became a great hero who protected Bincheng.
The human mouth, with a single touch, can instantly reverse right and wrong.
However, Lin Wanqing didn't care about any of that. As long as Chen Fu and the Su family were sworn enemies, how could she give up someone who could be used by her?
In Bei Li, it was already difficult for her to cultivate her own power base, so she certainly wouldn't let such an opportunity pass her by.
After Chen Fu pledged his loyalty to her, he offered her a plan that guaranteed to wipe out the Su family. Even if the Su family managed to escape, they would be severely injured.
So far, Lin Wanqing is fairly satisfied with everything.
The Su family has been imprisoned. Although Xiao Chenyi has not yet dealt with the Su family in the final stages, the crime of treason and collusion with the enemy would not be tolerated in any dynasty.
The downfall of the Su family was only a matter of time.
Su Ruojin, so what if you become the Regent's Consort?
Once the Su family is branded as traitors and executed, let's see if Xiao Yanchu will still want you, the daughter of a disgraced official, as his princess!
After leaving Lin Wanqing, Chen Fu arrived at the Prince Qin's Mansion.
