He was deeply afraid of Fang Jun's unruly and domineering attitude. Before coming here, he was still worried, fearing that Fang Jun would be harmful to him. But now when he saw that Fang Jun had eaten everything and refused to acknowledge his fault, he became so angry that he forgot about his fear.
He pointed at Fang Jun and said, "If you don't give me an explanation today, we won't be finished!"
What explanation?
Of course, it was the promise of the title. Chai Lingwu believed that as long as Fang Jun went to tell the prince, and his brother-in-law, King Han, was there at Zongzheng Temple, the matter would be a certainty. The attitude of Princess Baling he had just seen in the mansion made him
His heart felt like a knife, and he regretted it so much, but there is no regret medicine in the world. Now that he had reached this point, he had to implement the title no matter what, otherwise he would dare to fight Fang Jun!
Fang Jun has a headache. What's going on?
If he hadn't known that Chai Lingwu was a fool, he would have doubted whether this was an "immortal dance" staged by the couple...
Taking a deep breath, Fang Jun nodded and said: "This matter has nothing to do with me at all, and the relationship with Princess Baling is even more innocent, and the sun can tell! But thinking of the past friendship, I am willing to tell the prince for you.
, but again, I can’t guarantee whether it will succeed or not.”
He had to bear the blame.
Princess Baling came to the camp last night, and there are many people in the army who know about it. Although the Youtun Guards were built by him and are extremely loyal, no one would believe it if there were no hidden secrets from all parties involved.
So this matter cannot be hidden from anyone.
The royal princess ran to the general's military camp in the middle of the night and left before dawn. No matter how much Fang Jun said, who would believe that he didn't even touch Princess Baling?
If Chai Lingwu really went crazy and ignored him, and went to Zongzheng Temple to file a complaint, things would not end well. Zongzheng Temple would not do anything to him without evidence, but his reputation was definitely ruined. The atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was open, and the royal family
There is more than one person who has an affair between a princess and a foreigner, but it is one thing to keep this kind of thing secretly in private, and it is another thing to be accused by the husband and make a fuss...
Is morality and etiquette just talk?
Once he is charged with such a crime, it will be a great hidden danger for Fang Jun to become the prime minister in the future. Morality has always been a criterion that is higher than ability. Even if there are sores on the top of the bones and pus on the soles of the feet, on the surface,
You must also create a moral model of a gentleman, otherwise you will never be able to become the chief minister.
Even if you are in a high position, if one day you fail in your personal ethics, cannot hide it, and cause a lot of trouble, you will probably have no choice but to step down sadly...
This is completely different from having an affair with Princess Changle.
Chai Lingwu was unwilling to give up. He came here today without giving up his dignity, just to get an accurate word, so as not to be fooled by Fang Jun. But at this moment, seeing Fang Jun's gloomy face, his heart suddenly jumped. He didn't dare to push too much, so he could only
Accept as soon as you see fit.
Then he nodded and said: "I can trust the Duke of Yue, so I'll leave this matter to you and take my leave!"
Having achieved his goal, he didn't want to stay in front of Fang Jun for a moment longer. Every look he looked at made him feel whether there was a deeper meaning. It was full of ridicule and sarcasm, making him feel on pins and needles.
Naturally, Fang Jun would not entertain guests. He only nodded slightly and didn't even bother to answer.
When Chai Lingwu walked out, Fang Jun muttered depressedly: "What the hell is this?"
If I had known that this would cause a lot of trouble, I might as well have executed Princess Baling on the spot last night. At least I wouldn't be at a loss if someone came to visit me afterwards...
…
When Chai Zhewei came out of the tent, he was greeted by the cold wind and rain, which cheered him up. The anxiety in his heart finally dissipated a little, and he quickly asked someone to bring his horse over.
When he came here, he was afraid, lest Fang Jun would get angry and have him arrested and humiliated. That guy had always done whatever he wanted and there was nothing he wouldn't dare to do.
A daughter of a good family is bullied by bullies, and her husband comes to ask for an explanation, but the bully beats her to death and injures her, and then seizes his wife... Isn't that how it is written in dramas? Although he bears the title of a descendant of a noble family, his wife is also a royal princess.
, but Fang Jun is naturally much more powerful than ordinary bullies...
Fortunately, the guy was worried about his reputation and didn't dare to fall out.
He got on the army horse and came to the camp gate to meet his servants. Only then did he put his heart back into his stomach completely. He galloped along the road and faced the cold wind. Only then did he realize that his inner coat had been soaked in cold sweat.
Soaked...
The deep anger in my chest was extinguished by the cold wind and rain. I was holding the horse's reins and was about to speed up, when suddenly a cry came from my ears: "Mr. Lang, be careful!"
Immediately afterwards, Chai Lingwu noticed an afterimage flashing as fast as lightning in the corner of his eyes, and then he felt a pain in his chest. A powerful force shook his whole body, and he spun around and fell off his horse, falling heavily to the ground with a "bang".
, the last sight before our eyes was the gloomy and dark sky, and then we fell into boundless darkness.
"Mr. Lang!"
"How dare you, this rat, dare to sneak up on you!"
"Protect your husband! Go quickly and inform the Duke of Yue, please send your doctor here!"
…
The servants were all in a panic, especially when they saw Chai Lingwu falling from his horse with his eyes closed. They all panicked and dismounted to protect Chai Lingwu, but they did not dare to move his body. They could only send people to Youtunwei not far away.
Camp, please ask the doctor to come and treat you.
After a while, the scouts from the Youtun Guard noticed something unusual here, rode up on their horses, and asked urgently: "Why don't you leave quickly? What are you doing here?"
A general of the Chai family said: "My husband was wounded by a hidden arrow, and I don't know whether he is alive or dead!"
"ah?"
The Youtun Guard scouts were shocked and reacted quickly. The group immediately dispersed and rushed in all directions to notify the patrolling scouts to pursue the murderer. Another person was sent directly into the camp to inform Fang Jun.
Fang Jun was stunned for a moment when he received the news. He immediately reacted and cursed: "Mom! What kind of idiot is blaming me?"
He quickly took off the horizontal sword hanging on the wall and took it with him. He didn't have time to change clothes, so he just put on a raincoat and left the tent. Surrounded by a group of soldiers, he rode his horse to the scene of the accident. He saw Chai Lingwu lying on his back.
On the grass, there is a goose feather arrow stuck in the heart.
The rain fell and hit his face, which was as pale as paper, mixed with grass clippings and muddy water, making it particularly miserable.
Fang Jun's temples bulged, anger rising in his chest, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The whole army is under martial law. No one is allowed to leave the camp even half a step without permission. Violators will be killed without mercy! Immediately notify Gao Kan and ask him to lead the army commander to conduct a strict investigation.
Those who are not at their respective posts during this period will be asked to find out their movements. If there is any ambiguity, they will be captured immediately and severely tortured!"
This place is less than one mile away from the gate of Youtunwei camp. The scouts of Youtunwei patrol continuously. It is impossible for foreign enemies to be lurking here, waiting for an opportunity to kill Chai Lingwu. The most likely murderer is from within Youtunwei.
Mother!
This method of frame-up and framing is extremely vicious. If the murderer cannot be found out as soon as possible and the mastermind behind the scenes cannot be tortured, he will be blamed for it...
"Here!"
The captain beside him rushed away. Soon after hearing the news, Cheng Wuting, Cen Changqian, Liu Shenli and others arrived one after another. When they saw the murder scene and heard what happened, they all looked solemn.
After a while, Gao Kan galloped over, dismounted in front of Fang Jun, wiped the rain off his face, and said in a deep voice: "Commander Qi, after receiving the order, we started to investigate and found that there was a schoolmate.
The lieutenant committed suicide in the camp, and all his soldiers were there, saying that he had just followed the captain to snipe and kill an unidentified person outside the camp gate, and no one knew about the rest..."
Cheng Wuting was furious: "Mother! Isn't this a plan to frame the commander-in-chief by eating the food inside and outside? We must dig out his identity and background. Even if he is a prince, I will lead troops to kill him and kill his whole family!"
Liu Shenli was also filled with righteous indignation: "It's too much to bully others. These methods are dirty and vicious, and you won't die a good death!"
The generals were furious, but Fang Jun calmed down.
There are tens of thousands of troops in the Youtun Guards, not to mention Fang Jun. Even if Zhuge is reincarnated or Bai Qi is resurrected, it is impossible for them to be loyal and determined. There are also several dignitaries from aristocratic families or political enemies lurking in among them.
Ordinary.
It's just that although Chai Lingwu has a noble status and a high status, he doesn't have any real power. Even if he is shot and killed, what is the use except to frame the blame on himself?
Even if Fang Jun is successfully framed, given his current status and without conclusive evidence, who can convict him?
In addition to being a "suspected murderer", how can he be Fang Jun?
Fang Jun was puzzled.
In the distance, a fast horse galloped towards me. The soldiers on the horse came closer and shouted: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an order to summon the general to the Xuanwu Gate for an audience!"
Fang Jun's eyes narrowed and he looked at Chai Lingwu's body on the ground.
The prince summoned me by chance?
Is it because of Chai Lingwu’s death?
If this is the case, the man here just ordered martial law and blocked the news just after he died. How did this news reach the prince so quickly?
