At the Governor's Mansion, Chen Ping hurried to the Linze Mansion Office and said with a solemn expression: "Uncle Master, Wang Ben is dead."
Lin Ze raised his head and said in surprise: "So fast?"
Chen Ping sighed: "News came from Chang'an. Three days ago, Wang Ben died suddenly in Wuchenghou Mansion. He was suspected of being assassinated. Then Tingwei Mansion visited Chang'an for three days and only arrested some ordinary thieves. The case became a mystery.
. Various signs indicate that Uncle Master’s previous guess is closer to the truth.”
Lin Ze was not surprised by Wang Ben's death. After all, if Wang Ben dared to commit suicide like that in the Western Region, he would have to bear the corresponding price.
What made Lin Ze curious was what Wang Ben did after he was captured back to Chang'an. As a result, in just half a month, Emperor Qin couldn't help but find someone to kill him.
According to Lin Ze's speculation, even if Wang Bi died, he would wait for the matter to calm down and die quietly. Now this matter is still in the limelight. If this happened, wouldn't it cause panic in Chang'an City?
There is also the three-day trip to Tingwei Mansion, which also makes people feel strange. This does not give people the feeling that there is no three hundred taels of silver in this place.
In Chang'an, a marquis died, but the Tingwei Mansion could not even catch the murderer. Is it because the Tingwei Mansion was incompetent? Although the people in Chang'an did not have much favorable impressions of the black-clad guards, they had enjoyed stability for many years, and no one would
I feel that Tingwei Mansion is incompetent.
From this, it can be seen that the murderer can only be extraordinary, for example, he can kill a sixth-grade peak warrior silently.
Just speculating on the identity of the murderer would cause an uproar. In the wisdom of Emperor Qin, he should not be so hasty.
Unless... there is a scapegoat!
Lin Zeru thought.
However, this matter had little to do with Lin Ze. Lin Ze threw it behind him in the blink of an eye and said to Chen Ping: "Although it is somewhat different from what I thought before, the previous plan can go ahead as usual. Send a message to Eunuch Huang,
Let him wait until the Wang family is in dire straits, and then come forward to help the Wang family in the name of the young master."
"Wang Ben is dead and Wang Li is in charge. The momentum of the Wang family has dropped to the extreme. Those who have offended the Wang family before will definitely not let this opportunity pass by. After all, how many people will not be tempted by such a big piece of meat?"
Chen Ping was slightly entangled and said: "Do we have to wait until the Wang family is in trouble before taking action? If the Wang family has easily overcome this difficulty, wouldn't it be a waste of such a good opportunity?"
Lin Ze shook his head and said: "Because of the matter of interceding for Wang Ben before, the young master has already formed a good relationship with the Wang family. If the Wang family is able to handle everything, the young master's help will be just the icing on the cake. However, how can the icing on the cake be as good as providing help in times of need?
Only when the Wang family is in dire straits and the young master comes to help, can it be considered as a help in times of need. Only in this way can we have the opportunity to slowly and completely conquer the Wang family step by step."
Chen Ping said in astonishment: "Isn't it possible that my uncle can't be sure that he can conquer the Wang family?"
Lin Ze shook his head slightly and said: "Young Master is no better than Fusu. He has been favored since he was a child. The Wang family is not so easy to conquer. The task is arduous for you and me, so let's do our best."
Then Lin Ze smiled again and said: "Actually, it's not that difficult. The young master doesn't necessarily have to conquer the Wang family. It just needs to give people the impression that the Wang family has no choice but to take refuge in the young master."
"And you don't need too many people to believe this, as long as Fusu believes it. You know what to do, right?"
Confusing the fake with the real? These four words flashed through Chen Ping's mind, and he said with a relaxed smile on his face: "My nephew understands, my nephew will make arrangements now."
After saying that, he slowly left.
Lin Ze turned around and went to the secret room and started concentrating on the sixth acupuncture point.
In the past half month, Lin Ze had refined four more acupuncture points. The remaining jade stones in his hand were only enough for him to refine three acupuncture points. However, there was no news from both Taishan and Dao Palace, which made Lin Ze full of melancholy.
After Hu Hai knew about this, he would transfer about a hundred jade stones from Chang'an through some connections. However, this batch of jade stones were all standard egg-sized jade stones. With Lin Ze's physique, it would take about twenty-five jade stones to condense into one place.
Acupoints can only be said to be a drop in the bucket, better than nothing.
Lin Ze successfully condensed the sixth acupuncture point. As soon as he walked out of the secret room, he found Wu Fan walking around anxiously in his yamen, waiting for his arrival. He couldn't help but show up and asked: "Wu Fan, you
What do you have to do with me?"
As soon as Wu Fan heard Lin Ze's voice, he immediately turned around and saluted: "Sir, I have something urgent to report."
Lin Ze rolled his eyes and said, "Looking at you like this, I already know that something is urgent. Tell me, what happened?"
Wu Fan couldn't help but blush and said: "Didn't your Excellency tell your subordinates to arrange for people to go to Mount Tai to look for jade? They just sent news that they have found the jade that Your Majesty wants."
Found it! Lin Ze couldn't help showing a look of joy on his face and said: "Okay, let them transport the jade to Shu in batches. I will be rewarded heavily."
Wu Fan looked embarrassed and whispered: "Sir, I'm afraid this jade won't be shipped back in a short time."
The smile on Lin Ze's face faded, and he said with a serious face: "If you have anything to do, please explain it all at once."
Seeing that Lin Ze was about to get angry, Wu Fan immediately poured out the beans and said, "Excuse me, my lord, it's not because my subordinates are not doing things well, but for other reasons. The people from my subordinates had already planned to bring the jade to Shu, but because of
Lu Goujian, a ranger from Zhao State, gathered a crowd to rebel and wreaked havoc in the Liaocheng and Yanggu areas. The people under his command did not dare to risk their lives and were trapped at the foot of Mount Tai and were not allowed to go south."
"They were afraid of missing important events, so they used flying pigeons to send messages and came back to ask for help. The subordinates had nothing to do, so they came here to report to the Lord."
Someone gathered to rebel? Could it be that because the number of Great Qin Grandmasters has decreased, some people have begun to wander?
Lin Ze secretly gave a thumbs up to those who dared to rebel. After all, people like this who dared to blatantly seek death could be considered warriors.
But, why is it such a coincidence? Lin Ze is a little depressed, can't he let me practice well?
Wu Fan carefully looked at Lin Ze's face and saw no obvious anger, so he asked tentatively: "Sir, how should we deal with this matter? Let them take risks and bring the jade back, or wait until the storm passes.
Now, let them come back again?”
Lin Ze closed his eyes, consumed a lot of energy and blood, and secretly ran the "Know the Destiny" once. He opened his eyes with a pale face, shook his head and said: "No need, let them wait for me under Mount Tai, I will personally accompany you."
Take a trip."
Wu Fan's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he bowed and said: "This subordinate is incompetent and needs your Majesty to take action personally. Please punish me."
Lin Ze waved his hand and said: "Since you have indeed found the jade, I won't punish you this time because the merits and demerits are equal. Go down and prepare and set off with me at any time."
