"I really didn't give them any actual orders. Everything depends on, um - God's will?"
Looking at Wu Qiming's frown in worry, for some reason, Lu Hanjiang seemed to see the shadow of Mr. Meng. It seemed that no matter how his position changed, there would always be the most suitable person to take over and wipe his ass.
Lu Hanjiang sipped the tea in his hand carefully, and for some reason he suddenly felt happy.
"Okay, Mr. Wu, don't worry. How things develop in Wudang has no impact on the overall situation. Naturally, if the two Qianhu adults can bring us some unexpected joy, wouldn't it be double happiness?" Lu Hanjiang put down his words.
After drinking tea, he comforted me softly.
Wu Qiming sighed: "Sure enough, your Excellency has found out all the inside story about the Chen family, right?"
Chen Zihua's death is weird from the inside out. After being a royal guard for so many years, Wu Qiming must believe that someone dares to act so wildly under the emperor's feet and can escape unnoticed. He must not
I don't believe it.
In the land of Gyeonggi and outside the Forbidden Palace, this huge capital is called the home of the Jinyiwei by people in the world, and this is not for nothing.
Under the peaceful and prosperous surface of the capital, there is a huge spider web hidden, and they, the Jin Yiwei, are not just some spiders waiting in this web, but the web itself.
To put it bluntly, within the capital and outside the imperial city, if there is any rumor, as long as the Jin Yiwei wants to know, there is nothing that cannot be found out.
But this time around Chen Zihua's sudden death, not only was there no news beforehand, but all the clues were broken afterwards, and Jin Yiwei couldn't find even a trace of it.
Judging from Wu Qiming's many years of experience, there are only two possible outcomes for Chen's murder case, either there really is an immortal with extraordinary martial arts skills in this world, or there is a ghost in Jin Yiwei.
Wu Qiming is not a three-year-old child, so he directly rejected the first possibility, leaving only the second possibility.
Not surprisingly, the first person he suspected was Xu Le, and the second was their commander Lu Hanjiang himself.
The reason for suspecting Xu Le was simply because Wu Qiming had been blind in the past, so it was difficult for Wu Qiming not to suspect that this time there was something wrong with his brain.
Of course, it was also because Wu Qiming and Xu Le, the two northern and southern governors, were at loggerheads from the beginning. Although he was now promoted and became a rival, the old grudges were still there. He did not feel that he was using reasonable doubts to create obstacles for the other party.
It's a waste of time.
It's a pity that Wu Qiming failed to find Xu Le's flaw, so there is only one possibility left, and that is that the leader of Jin Yiwei directed and acted in this drama.
Today's showdown between Lu Hanjiang made Wu Qiming relieved. Although he maliciously hoped that Xu Le was mentally ill, if it was really this guy, it would be troublesome to deal with it.
Considering that Jin Yiwei Lu Hanjiang is basically the boss now, and all matters are on Wu Qiming's own head, he still prays in his heart that the other party will not get sick.
Fortunately it wasn't Xu Le, but in fact the prisoner was Lu Hanjiang, so Wu Qiming wasn't too happy.
Master Wu pinched his eyebrows and said helplessly: "Sir, how do you plan to end this matter?"
Lu Hanjiang said in surprise: "The facts of the case have been found out. The Wudang sect is so crazy that they commit murder at the feet of the emperor. Well, they must be severely punished."
Wu Qiming looked at Lu Hanjiang with an expressionless expression. He didn't believe a word of what he said.
Lu Hanjiang spread his hands rather boredly: "Okay, it's not Wudang, it's Shaolin."
Wu Qiming still looked unconvinced, while Lu Hanjiang sighed: "It was really done by Shaolin. The person who killed the three Chens was Abbot Lingxu of Northern Shaolin. He is still in Beijing."
Now, after confirming that Lu Hanjiang was not joking, Wu Qiming's eyes gradually became serious: "How could he agree to such a thing? Aren't he afraid of affecting the disciples behind him?"
Even though the name of Jin Yiwei is frightened by people in the world, and an embroidered spring knife seems to be lawless, killing whoever you want, in fact, compared with the aristocratic family, Jin Yiwei is quite reasonable.
It is impossible for all the aristocratic families to be pretentious masters, but it is undeniable that they look down on Jianghu Baiding. Even though Shaolin has the support of Buddhism behind it, the Yunzhong Chen family is not easy to mess with.
"Who knows, I'm actually quite curious. When Abbot Lingxu lowered his head, I thought it was a diplomatic statement forced by the situation. Who knew this old guy was really serious?"
This incident was quite surprising to Lu Hanjiang. Although he planned to pin the blame on the other party regardless of whether Lingxu came or not, the only difference was that one was only evidence on paper, while the other was a person who got the stolen goods.
But he really didn't expect that Lingxu wouldn't pay back the price, and he didn't even mention any conditions. As soon as Shangguan Shaoqin brought Jin Yiwei's intention, he would go to Beijing honestly.
Monk Lingxu's cooperation once made Lu Hanjiang think that the other party was planning to play dirty tricks. He wanted to get into the tiger's den and get the tiger's cub. He pretended to obey at first, and then he blossomed directly.
Unfortunately, although Lu Hanjiang was well prepared, Monk Lingxu was always very cooperative and even obedient to the point where he felt bored.
"Since you know what you are doing, I won't say anything more about my humiliation." The truth was generally clear, and Wu Qiming knew the truth and did not inquire further.
But at the end, Wu Qiming still reminded him: "Sir, this matter should not be delayed for too long, otherwise it will be a long night and a lot of dreams, and it will be bad for Mrs. Chen to see the clues."
"I know," Lu Hanjiang was good at counting the days and said, "It's been quite some time since the Chen family's flowing water mat was set up. It seems like the ceremony is almost over."
...
At Lu Shangshu's house, Lu Hongwen, who had returned from school, was pacing back and forth in front of Lu Yannian's study door, with a somewhat troubled expression on his face.
The steward who was passing by noticed the fourth young master's strange behavior and was curious, so he came up and asked, "Master, do you want to see me for something?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Lu Hongwen had something on his mind, and was startled by the butler who suddenly appeared behind him. He quickly adjusted his expression, and then said vaguely: "Uh, it's true.
I want to see my father about something, so I would like to ask the housekeeper to go in and inform me."
After that, he hurriedly added: "If, if my father is busy, then forget it, I will come back tomorrow."
The butler knocked on the door and entered the study with some doubts. After a while, he came out and said to the nervous Lu Hongwen: "Master, I call you to come in."
"...Okay." After hearing this, Lu Hongwen took a deep breath and walked into the study.
"The son has met his father."
After Lu Hongwen saluted, he saw Lu Shangshu's expression showing no joy or anger and did not dare to speak. He had to wait patiently. After a while, Lu Shangshu seemed to remember him, and the other party said calmly: "If you have anything to do, tell me."
Lu Hongwen's aura was very weak. He said in a low voice: "Father, it's--it's Brother Chen who came to see me again today. He wanted to ask how the investigation of Jin Yiwei's case went."
After finishing speaking, Lu Hongwen lowered his head. Although he was focused on studying, he was not stupid. In addition, several friends around him had also warned him. Lu was a member of the "New Aristocratic Family", and he followed Yun like this every day.
I'm afraid it would be inappropriate for people from the Chen family to mix together.
It's a pity that Lu Hongwen deliberately avoided it, but Chen Heguang didn't seem to understand what he meant and came to ask for help again and again. He was soft-eared and had a good face, so he couldn't bear the other party's request and agreed to it every time.
Sure enough, after listening to his words, Lu Shangshu just chuckled, and then said: "I want to know the progress of Jin Yiwei's investigation. He didn't go to Zhenfu Si Yamen, but came to ask you?"
Cold sweat broke out on Lu Hongwen's forehead. He lowered his head tremblingly, not daring to speak.
Lu Shangshu glanced at his son, shook his head and said, "Well, it's a good time for him to come here. If you go back to him, the criminal has been arrested and brought to justice. Let them go to Zhenfusi tomorrow to have a look."
