Chapter 119 Resolving Internal Troubles

"It may not be without support." Lu Qingfan suddenly spoke and glanced at Ren Danqing with unclear meaning: "Master, you might as well continue to listen."

Ren Danqing was confused. What happened? One of the two co-authors had an inference and the other found evidence?

"Were you together last night?"

"Not there, why?" Lu Qingfan frowned.

Master Ren's question was so confusing that it made people confused.

Yun Xi's ears turned red when she heard this, but she came to her senses and retorted in a low voice: "Qingguo and I are sleeping at home, Mr. Lu is busy..." There is no time to play in her courtyard.

Master Ren was shocked to realize that Meng Lang was behind his words, and quickly waved his hand, "Girl Yun, keep talking, keep talking."

"Whether it's an assassin or a swordsman who can use thin-edged double swords, whether it's the master of the double-sword sect or not, it's not for Luo Jiutian, but for His Highness the Xian King."

Yun Xi said firmly: "The ceremony of establishing the crown prince is coming soon. The assassin killed Luo Jiutian, the stumbling block, and will definitely plan to assassinate him next."

By that time, without a master like Luo Jiutian sitting in charge, the guards around His Highness the King Xian are not enough to be afraid of, and may be dangerous.

Everyone in the room was stunned. The more Ren Danqing listened, the more chills ran down his spine. He said in a deep voice, "Yes, yes. The more I think about it, the more it sounds like that."

"Yun Xi's deduction is correct." Lu Qingfan walked to the table, took out several maps of the capital city, borrowed Yun Xi's charcoal pen, and quickly sketched a few black lines on the three pictures.

"Look." Lu Qingfan pushed the picture in front of everyone and said calmly.

Yun Xi raised her little head and moved forward. The three pictures mainly showed the alleys around Huangji Temple, the alleys around Fang Lian'er's house, and the alley near Luo Jiutian's death.

Miraculously, the layout of these alleys is very similar...

"The capital city is located in the center of the square, and the streets and alleys are straight and unbent. The murderer failed to assassinate him at Huangji Temple first, and then tried to kill Luo Jiutian at Fang Lian'er's place, and he succeeded yesterday."

Lu Qingfan said solemnly: "They have been planning for more than a month, and they will not give up easily."

"Well, there are too many streets and alleys like this in the capital, and we don't know where they will go?" After hearing this, Ran Piao stood up one after another.

Yun Xi pondered for a moment, then gently held her chin and whispered: "It's definitely not okay to be led by the murderer. We have to find a way to make the fish fall into the path we have designed."

Lu Qingfan said approvingly: "What a great idea."

It is amazing enough that Yun Xi was able to connect Luo Jiutian's death with the establishment of a wise king and crown prince based on a few cases.

Lu Qingfan didn't expect that she was more sophisticated than many people in the officialdom, and she even came up with the rudimentary method of "inviting the emperor into the urn".

Because he also calculated it this way.

"Before we act, we have to do one more thing." Lu Qingfan's eyes were as solemn as ink, and he clicked on the table: "Find out the spies from Prince Xian's Mansion."

Lu Qingfan made the decision, and Fang Lian'er's death case and Luo Jiutian's case were accidentally investigated together.

Everyone in the Criminal Department was divided into two groups: Ran Piao and Ren Danqing stayed in the Criminal Department, waiting for Fang Lian'er's husband Fang Jin, and the owner of the candy shop came to find out that Luo Jiutian did go to buy candy cakes every ninth day; Yun Xi

The master and servant went to Prince Xian's Mansion and uncovered the spies in the mansion.

As for the Leng Hai and Leng Chuan brothers, they had to do something that required force points, so Lu Qingfan kept it a secret for the time being.

Ran Piao watched Yun Xi's master and servant leave, and said sadly: "Oh, I went to Prince Xian's Mansion, and I didn't notice that there was a spy at all... How do you think Mr. Lu knew about it?"

It was rare that Ren Danqing did not show respect for his master, he laughed, hugged Ran Piao's neck, and whispered: "Have you doubted your life?"

Isn't it?

Ran Piao knew that he was not capable enough, but he did not expect that the gap between him and Lu Qingfan was too great.

Ren Danqing saw Ran Piao's expression as if he was mourning for his heir, and he suppressed a laugh again, "That's all, I won't tease you anymore. How can I say this if I haven't endured the hardships Master Lu has endured?"

He patted Ran Piao on the shoulder: "Master Lu's keenness in looking at the overall situation and his sharp and steady judgment today are all earned with flesh and blood."

After a lot of hard work, steel becomes steel, how can a scholar like Ran Piao compare?

No need to compare.

It was rare for Ren Danqing to be kind enough to comfort his colleagues. Ran Piao was so happy that he immediately took out the treasures of calligraphy and painting he had accumulated and gave a pair to Ren Danqing!

After getting his favorite calligraphy and painting, Ren Danqing smiled so hard that he even smiled horribly when he greeted Fang Jin and the owner of the candy shop to recognize him.

Let's say that Master and Servant Yun Xi followed Lu Qingfan to Prince Xian's Mansion. When the three of them entered the vermilion gate, they were dazzled by the dazzling luxury of the Prince's Mansion.

"His Royal Highness the King is really..." Yun Xi looked at the gold ornaments on the rockery pavilion and was speechless for a moment.

"You're really not short of money." Lu Qingfan looked at the surprised expressions of Yun Xi's master and servant with amusement, and teased: "I'm afraid you'll have to pay for touching it."

Qingguo, who was reaching out to touch the golden lion bridge pillar to see if it was real or fake, immediately stopped his hand after hearing this, patted his chest slyly and said in fear: "I was scared to death, I thought the lion was alive and wanted to bite my hand."

Lu Qingfan chuckled.

Yun Xi couldn't laugh or cry: "How can adults scare children?"

She is not short of money, but whether these items are gifts from the palace or purchased by His Highness the King himself, she can only lose money but not the dignity of her status.

Lu Qingfan suppressed his smile, transformed into a cold and unparalleled minister again, and led the two of them into the main courtyard.

When the housekeeper saw Lu Qingfan bringing someone in person, he greeted him politely: "Don't be surprised, Sir, His Highness is reading a book in the study..."

"It doesn't matter, I'll just go find His Highness myself." Lu Qingfan nodded, looked at Yun Xi and the other two and said, "These two are co-workers from the Ministry of Punishment. Could you please butler, please take them to see where Mr. Luo lived during his lifetime."

"Of course, of course." The housekeeper smiled respectfully: "The girl is qualified to be a prison officer at a young age. She is young and promising."

"I don't dare to take it seriously. I have to be favored by Mr. Lu." Yun Xi also said politely.

Yun Xi quietly turned her head to look at Lu Qingfan. He left from the other side in a familiar manner. Yun Xi then followed the housekeeper with confidence.

Lu Qingfan made it all the way to His Highness the Xian King's study. After paying his respects, he told the truth about Luo Jiutian's death one by one.

When Xian Wang heard this, his expression couldn't help but change back and forth, until finally he slapped the table with hatred: "How dare you?!"

A bunch of Jianghu people dared to meddle in court affairs secretly. Who gave them the courage?!

"Of course he is His Highness's enemy." Lu Qingfan said without changing his expression: "His Highness is about to be crown prince. If someone doesn't want His Highness to take the throne smoothly, he will definitely take action."

"Who should be the crown prince instead of me?" The wise king's face was as dark as black ink: "Mr. Luo died for me. When he succeeds to the throne, I must give him a rich burial."

Thinking too far ahead.

"Your Highness the Wise King, the most important thing at hand is how to make the criminal fall into a trap." Lu Qingfan said solemnly: "Otherwise, it is unknown whether His Highness will be able to participate in the Prince's Palace."

"Humph", when the wise king heard that Lu Qingfan actually had other people's ambitions to destroy his own prestige, his arrogant and handsome face became more and more contemptuous: "A few gangsters, relying on some martial arts, intend to challenge the royal majesty, can I still make them do so?

?”

Lu Qingfan retorted with unclear meaning: "That's not just a gangster."

He is a master who has the strength to kill Luo Jiutian.

As if thinking of Luo Jiutian's death, the wise king stopped speaking harshly and said coldly: "What do you want?"

Having dealt with Lu Qingfan several times, the Xian Wang had some understanding of his style of conduct: Lu Qingfan would not come to his door in person if he was not sure of anything.

Lu Qingfan bowed forward and whispered a few words to the Xian King in a low voice.

Halfway through the sentence, the wise king immediately turned away his ears and said arrogantly: "Only you, you still want to mobilize the troops of the Five Cities Military Command Department?"

"Just your Majesty." Lu Qingfan unfolded the Third Division Order in his hand and reminded with squinted eyes: "The Third Division Order. Your Highness, the arrow is on the string, only waiting for you."

The wise king: "..."

Okay, after half a night's work, this guy even got the transfer order of the three divisions, all he needed was the Holy Emperor's jade seal.

"You have devoted all your efforts for me, and I will naturally accept your affection." The wise king took the order and folded it. "I will enter the palace later to meet the emperor."

"Thank you, Your Highness. But before we act, we need to resolve the internal problems first."

Are there internal problems?!

The wise king immediately understood that Luo Jiutian's whereabouts had been captured by the murderer, and someone close to the palace must have leaked it.

"In this case, I want to see who the rip-off dares to betray Mr. Luo." King Xian stood up and straightened his clothes, his eyes full of anger.
