The afternoon when Ye Fan was invited to join the investigation team.
In the center of Xiangguo, on the upper reaches of the Xiang River that passes through the city, there is the River God Hall.
A young man with a straight body was leading a group of dignitaries in rich clothes to respectfully worship the river god.
The young man is less than thirty years old. He is dressed in white, has clear outlines, and has a braid on his head. He is as gentle as jade.
He patiently accepted a series of rituals and responded to the high priest's three kowtows and nine obeisances, giving people an incomparable sense of piety.
Helian Qingxue was watching from a distance outside the main hall door, with his hands lowered and his eyes eager, but he did not dare to disturb him in the slightest.
Half an hour later, the young man in white knelt on the ground, accepted the caress on the head of the high priest, and after being prayed for, stood up and exited the hall.
"Young Master!"
Almost as soon as the young man in white came out, Helian Qingxue quickly walked up from behind.
There is no doubt that the young man in white is the Nine Prince Xiang Liancheng.
The young man in white was calm and looked at the slowly flowing Elephant River and said, "You're back?"
"Back!"
Helian Qingxue was very angry: "This bastard Ye Fan is so shameless and lawless!"
"I've never seen a guy like him who thinks he's so self-righteous and doesn't understand dignity."
"Last night, Xiang Wentian was killed in front of me. In the morning, he spread the news about the death of the eldest prince without permission. In the afternoon, he used his medical skills to bribe the entire investigation team."
"Xiang Qingtian, Ruan Ping Gong and Wang Gong Gong were all dealt with by Ye Fan."
"Ye Fan also mobilized public opinion and patients to declare the grudge between the First Village and the eldest prince."
"Shen Bancheng and his son are now being tried as murderers by the public. If there is even the slightest discrepancy, they accuse the investigation team of being behind the scenes."
She was very angry: "The case of the eldest prince will probably not be investigated further."
"Shen Bancheng is the head of the No. 1 village, the rival of the eldest prince, and the richest man in the Xiang Kingdom."
There was no emotion on Xiang Liancheng's face: "He has the weight to bear the word murderer."
"But you and I both know that 99% of Xiang Zhenguo was not killed by Shen Bancheng and his son."
Helian Qingxue had a look of anxiety on her face, as if she couldn't sleep until Ye Fan was brought to justice:
"Xiang Dapeng is a foolhardy man who can kill ten or eight people with his fists and kicks. I can believe it."
"It's absolutely impossible for more than 300 people to use poison."
"And the fire clearly destroyed the bodies and left no traces."
"Of course, the most important point is that according to our intelligence, Xiang Zhenguo and Shen Bancheng have been together for a long time."
"At least in the Xiangguo stock market battle, Xiangzhenguo and Shen Bancheng are in alliance."
"The mysterious fund that supports No. 1 Zhuang's stocks is under Xiang Zhenqi."
"Xiang Zhenguo tried his best to help Shen Bancheng and lost tens of billions. How could Shen Bancheng kill him?"
"That doesn't make sense!"
"Furthermore, Ye Fan killed Xiang Wentian in front of me and the guard camp, which also showed that he wanted to kill everyone without leaving any consequences."
She added: "So it must be Ye Fan who bloodbathed Zhenguo's mansion and then framed the blame on Shen Bancheng and his son."
Although Helian Qingxue is arrogant and arrogant, she has followed the Ninth Prince for many years and can see clearly many twists and turns.
What made her angry was that Ye Fan told lies with his eyes open even though he knew things well.
The investigation team even pretended to be crazy and did not expose Ye Fan's lies.
"Even if it was Ye Fan who did it, it would be beneficial to us if Shen Bancheng and Xiang Zhenguo died."
Xiang Liancheng said calmly: "With two major obstacles removed at once, I can save at least ten years of struggle."
"Besides, Mark Chu and Chu Zixuan are friends, and Chu Zixuan and I are brothers, so we can be considered related to Mark Chu."
"I asked you to stop and help Ye Fan last night. Why are you trying to prove that Ye Fan is the murderer?"
There was no blame in his tone, but it could penetrate Helian Qingxue's heart: "Do you have a grudge against him?"
"I have no grudge against Mark."
Feeling Xiang Liancheng's majesty, Helian Qingxue shuddered, but quickly straightened her back and responded:
"Just seeing Ye Fan's arrogance in killing Xiang Wentian in Zhenguo Mansion, I told myself that I would never let Ye Fan get involved with you."
"Young Master Xiang, I just know that we have some connection with Ye Fan, so I actively captured him, found him out, and eliminated him."
Helian Qingxue told Xiang Liancheng her feelings and thoughts:
"Otherwise, the Xiangguo investigation team will find out in the future that he is really the murderer. Since we have not taken any action against Ye Fan, it will be easy for people to think that we instigated Ye Fan to do what he did."
"I have heard a lot of rumors right now, and they are all talking about Ye Fan, who invited you to come to Xiang Kingdom to deal with the eldest prince and the others."
"You two also deliberately stayed away from contact so that whether Ye Fan succeeds or fails, you will not be involved."
"Especially when Ye Fan took out the token of seeing the elephant like a king last night, it made people believe that the two of you are closely related."
"The white jade elephant is Ye Fan's last resort, and it is also evidence of your close relationship."
"That's why I actively participated in this case, hoping to find out the truth and crucify Ye Fan, so that outsiders can't accuse you."
"After all, if you were really involved in the death of the eldest prince, you would never think of convicting and trying Mark."
"It's just that I never expected that this bastard Ye Fan is so cunning that he can easily defeat Xiang Qingtian and the others."
There was a hint of frustration and worry on her pretty face:
"I think, Prince, you should ask King Xiang to stop being the leader of the investigation team of the Three Dukes and let Xiang Pei Pei go to interrogate Ye Fan."
The eldest prince died, Shen Bancheng collapsed, and there was no suspense for the ninth prince to ascend to the throne. She did not want Ye Fan, the murderer, to drag down the ninth prince at this juncture.
And she hoped that Xiang would go over and whip Ye Fan with a small leather whip.
This way she can also vent her anger.
"This can only be said that Ye Fan is indeed very capable. He is even more powerful than what we listen to, see and collect."
Xiang Liancheng's expression softened and he withdrew his gaze from Xiang He:
"Don't be too troublesome with Mark. Let him fend for himself."
"Even if we don't help him out of consideration, we don't want to add insult to injury just to be completely innocent."
"After all, he is also Chu Zixuan's friend."
"Our overall situation has been decided. We have no opponents. Let's not add any more extraneous matters. Don't worry about the occasional stains."
Xiang Liancheng put his hands behind his back and walked slowly by the river: "The powerful enemy is dead, and the criticisms of the remaining ones don't matter anymore."
Helian Qingxue's eyelids twitched: "But..."
Deep down in her heart, she still didn't want to let go of Ye Fan.
One is that he hopes to convict Ye Fan for cutting the Ninth Prince, and the other is that he thinks that bastard is too arrogant.
"You are as brave as Xiang Dapeng."
Seeing his beloved general looking very unwilling, Xiang Liancheng flashed a faint smile.
Then he looked towards the bustling downstream:
"No, it should be said that you were blinded by anger and saw the real thing behind this case?"
Helian Qingxue was stunned: "What real thing?"
Xiang Liancheng said calmly: "Do you think Xiang Qingtian and the other three are confused and have lost their position after being fooled by Ye Fan's casual use of medical skills?"
"That's right, Mr. Xiang Qingtian is simply suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Ye Fan will do whatever he wants to fool him."
Helian Qingxue poured out her bitterness: "Of course, I also admit that Ye Fan's medical skills are indeed great, and he has cured many people with his wonderful rejuvenation skills."
"But compared to the eldest prince's case, a small favor like his illness is really nothing."
"But Xiang Qingtian and the others have just lost their stance and standards. What are they if they aren't old fools?"
She was very resentful towards San Gong and felt that they were not worthy of being team leaders.
Xiang Liancheng smiled and walked slowly along the river:
"You are still too young and too naive!"
"Even you know that Ye Fan's treatment is a small favor, which is insignificant compared to the Zhenguo Mansion case. Do you think Xiang Qingtian and the others don't know?"
"No, Xiang Qingtian knows, Ruan Gong Gong knows, and Wang Gong Gong also knows."
"They are highly respected, well-known among officials and people, and have gone through decades of ups and downs."
“I can’t count the number of major cases I’ve dealt with with both hands and feet.”
"Such a third gentleman, do you think he will be an old fool and be deceived by others?"
"You underestimate them!"
"What Ye Fan wants to do, what they want to do, San Gong is like a mirror in his heart."
"The reason why they are so biased towards Ye Fan is that they already knew the final direction of this case."
Xiang Liancheng looked at the river again. The calm place was unfathomable.
Helian Qingxue was stunned: "Have you known the direction of the case for a long time? How can you know the result before the trial?"
"Your heart!"
Xiang Liancheng dropped the word, then left with a smile...
