Chapter 1,448 Lin Gong’s death, Chen Pingping returns to Beijing

Chapter 1450 Lin Gong’s death, Chen Pingping returns to Beijing

Li Yunrui seemed to have guessed what Zhou Chen would say, and answered calmly and calmly.

"I said, I can pay you. As far as I know, when Fan Xian was assassinated, you spent 80,000 taels of silver to save his bodyguard."

"Yes, this is indeed the case, so you also want to buy me with money?"

Zhou Chen's words made Li Yunrui slightly nod: "The daily expenses of such a large Zhenguo Palace are huge, but there are not many ways to make money in the Zhenguo Palace. Otherwise, why would you, a great master, save a small person?"

Guard."

"I would like to ask you to ask you to kill Lin Gong in Kyoto. You can give me the price directly."

She controls the three major squares in the south of the Yangtze River and relies on her internal treasury power to smuggle with the Northern Qi Dynasty. Li Yunrui dare not say anything else. In terms of gold and silver, she is definitely the best in the Qing Dynasty.

She felt that Zhou Chen was short of money, otherwise he would not be able to save an insignificant guard, but there was only Fan Xian, a fool in the world, who would spend 80,000 taels to save a guard.

Zhou Chen was short of money, and what she lacked most was money, so she thought she should be able to invite Zhou Chen.

But she didn't understand that Zhou Chen didn't have much money in his house, but it didn't mean that he was short of money. He just didn't want to bother doing business in Qingguo to make money. It didn't mean that he was really incapable of making money.

Taking a step back, will Grand Master be short of money?

Li Yunrui is capable, but her vision is still limited to this world after all. She is similar to Emperor Qing. She does not follow the right path and is good at conspiracy and conspiracy.

"Saving people to make money and killing people to make money are two completely different concepts."

"So, Lord Zhenguo wants to refuse?"

"right."

Zhou Chen gave his own answer. Whether it is saving people or killing people, for him, it all depends on his mood.

My destiny is up to me. If I want to do something, I will do it. If I don’t want to do something, no one can force me.

This is the portrayal of his heart now.

Li Yunrui frowned and asked: "Why? You have already seen my thoughts. If this is done well, it will definitely make His Majesty uncomfortable. Isn't this what you want to see?"

Zhou Chen said: "I really want to make him feel uncomfortable, but I only do what I want to do. To use an analogy, you do things based on profit, while I do things based on my mood. I don't want to kill Lin Gong.

It’s not because the benefits are not enough, it’s just that I don’t want to, do you understand?”

Li Yunrui tilted his head and looked at Zhou Chen with a strange look. She understood Zhou Chen's words, but she couldn't understand them.

Doing things depends on your mood? Is this something a normal person can say?

Everyone said she was crazy, but she felt that Zhou Chen was even less of a normal person than she was.

Sometimes the anger will be repaid, and sometimes it is so calm that even the emperor does not take it seriously. Looking at what Zhou Chen does, it doesn't look like a normal person at all.

Are all great masters so abnormal?

But she understood that since Zhou Chen refused, he would not regret it.

"That's such a pity. It seems that I still don't understand you. If possible, I really want to know more about you."

Li Yunrui looked at Zhou Chen with a special look. Although Zhou Chen rejected her, she was not annoyed. Instead, she found Zhou Chen more interesting.

As the eldest princess, she is destined to have high vision. You can say she is crazy, but you cannot say there is something wrong with her vision.

She is absolutely professional when it comes to looking at men. The men she has slept with are all outstanding.

But Zhou Chen was different from the men she had interacted with in the past. His temperament, attitude, tone, etc. were all so different.

After a few brief contacts, she clearly knew that she had been attracted to Zhou Chen. It was an emotional impulse. She had not had this feeling for many years. After all, she was no longer in her teens and had no experience with others.

girl.

But she also clearly felt that Zhou Chen felt a strong sense of alienation when facing her, which made her, who was arrogant and arrogant, very uncomfortable.

Is it possible that she, the majestic eldest princess of the Qing Kingdom, is not as good as a prostitute who was born in a brothel?

Of course, this was just a trivial thought in her mind.

Zhou Chen's tone was cold: "It's not necessary if you understand me. I am a person who distinguishes between public and private matters. When we talk about interests, we don't talk about feelings. When we talk about feelings, we don't talk about interests."

Li Yunrui's expression froze and he didn't know how to continue, so he could only change the topic.

"You have a good relationship with Fan Xian?"

"Normally, we don't have any friendship, so you don't need to test me."

Hearing Zhou Chen's answer, Li Yunrui felt relieved. If Fan Xian had a good relationship with Zhou Chen, she would really have to be more cautious when dealing with Fan Xian. She didn't want to follow in the footsteps of the Queen Mother.

"Mr. Zhen Guo, I think we can get closer and closer in the future. After all, we have a common goal."

She thought that Zhou Chen wanted to take revenge on Emperor Qing just like her, but Zhou Chen just smiled and didn't explain. Since she wanted to misunderstand, let her misunderstand.

Fan Xian struggled at home for a whole day and night, but still couldn't make up his mind. He even told Fan Ruoruo the truth and asked Fan Ruoruo to help him think about it.

In Fan Ruoruo's eyes, her brother is the most important. Lin Gong dares to assassinate Fan Xian, which is a heinous crime. Of course she wants Lin Gong to die, but she knows Fan Xian's thoughts, so she thought for a long time and said nothing.

If it was extreme, let Fan Xian make his own choice. He just said that he didn't want Fan Xian to be in danger again.

After suffering for a long time, Fan Xian finally thought clearly that this matter must be settled. Just like Teng Zijing said, if Lin Gong can kill him the first time, he can kill him the second time.

So he had to eliminate this possibility, but the way he thought of was not to kill Lin Gong, but to confess to Lin Gong.

He felt that Lin Gong killed him for the sake of the prince and the inner treasury's financial power. In this case, he confessed that he did not want the inner treasury's financial power. He just wanted to get married to Lin Wan'er and then return to Danzhou to live.

That's right, he thought about it for so long and felt that Kyoto was really not suitable for him. He didn't want to participate in the fights between the big shots. He just wanted to marry his own girl with chicken legs, and then return to Dandan with the people he cared about.

States live their own lives.

This is the best way he thought of. As long as I quit, you will have no reason to stare at me anymore, right?

At this stage, Fan Xian has not experienced any major hardships after all, so his thoughts are still a bit naive.

Just when he made the decision to have a good sleep tonight and go to Lin Gong tomorrow, Wu Zhu suddenly came back, which made him very excited.

It has been a long time since he came to Kyoto to see Wu Zhu. If Wu Zhu had been there before the assassination in Niulan Street, they would not have been in danger at all.

In fact, he didn't know that while he was still struggling, Wu Zhu had already come back. He knew that he had been assassinated and watched him struggle for a long time.

After Wu Zhu told Fan Xian something about his trip to Jiangnan, he disappeared again. He was ordered by the lady to protect Fan Xian. He would kill anyone who wanted to kill Fan Xian.

Therefore, he is going to kill Lin Gong.

Lin Gong left the Prince's East Palace in a bad mood and prepared to return to the Lin Mansion.

The prince called him over today in the hope that he could leave Kyoto temporarily. Fan Xian's pursuit of Si Lili failed. Everyone knew this, but no one knew what happened specifically, so the prince was still not at ease.

So he called Lin Gong over and asked Lin Gong to leave Kyoto temporarily just in case.

Lin Gong was naturally unhappy, but he was under the Crown Prince, and he could not refuse the Crown Prince's order. What's more, the Crown Prince promised him that he would try his best to dissolve Fan Xian and Lin Waner's marriage before he returned to Kyoto.

In the end, Lin Gong chose to obey the prince's order, prepare to rest for one night and leave Kyoto tomorrow.

Although Lin Gong is the son of Prime Minister Lin Ruofu, the two have different political opinions. As the head of a hundred officials, Lin Ruofu doesn't care about the prince at all, but Lin Gong is different. He doesn't want to rely on his father's wings, so he chooses his own way out.

And the prince is the one he chooses to be loyal to.

As the son of the prime minister, he always brings a full bodyguard with him whenever he travels. His bodyguards are all seventh-grade masters.

Lin Gong, who was sitting in the carriage, thought of Fan Xian again, especially when he thought of Fan Xian's secret meeting with his sister, he felt infinite anger in his chest.

The environment he grew up in made him understand the nature of the world. He is a person who attaches great importance to family ties, especially his sister Lin Wan'er, who is the pure land in his heart and the person he wants to protect, so he must never let his

My sister was wronged.

"Huh? Why don't you leave?"

He opened the curtain in confusion, and then looked at the blindfolded man in black standing in front of him with a surprised expression.

"Who are you and what do you want to do?"

s??????.???

The person standing in front was Wu Zhu. He asked Lin Gong, "Lin Gong, everything has its own end. If you want to kill Fan Xian, I will kill you."

Lin Gong asked: "Are you sent by Fan Xian? Forget it, there is no need to ask, just kill him."

The surrounding men immediately stepped forward, drew their swords and slashed at Wu Zhu, but Wu Zhu was faster, and the moment he was about to be hit, he moved.

The iron drill in his hand turned into a death sickle, harvesting everyone's life.

Lin Gong was about to lower the car curtain, but at the next moment, he froze and looked at the murdered men in surprise.

Because they were in Kyoto, Lin Gong only brought eight people with him. Although they were all masters, Wu Zhu was no different from a child when faced with the might of a great master.

In the next street not far away, a group of men in black were hiding in the darkness. They were sent by Li Yunrui to attack and kill Lin Gong.

Knowing that the prince was summoning Lin Gong today, they set up an ambush here in advance. This place was far away from the palace and was the only place to go back to the Lin Mansion.

But they waited and waited, and waited, but never saw Lin Gong coming. The leader couldn't wait any longer, so he immediately led others to explore the front.

After walking a certain distance, they indeed found Lin Gong, but it was Lin Gong who had lost his breath.

The dozen or so men in black stopped in their tracks, and the leader's pupils narrowed, and he immediately realized that something was wrong.

"No, retreat!"

But it was too late. A large group of people from the Inspection Institute, led by Director Zhu Ge and Director Yan Ruohai, arrived at the scene and blocked their retreat.

Neither party expected to meet each other at such a moment, but in a matter of seconds, both parties made a decision.

The men in black wanted to evacuate quickly, while the people from the forensic institute pursued them vigorously.

After a while!

Zhu Ge and Yan Ruohai stood together, looking at the clearly distinguishable corpses placed on both sides.

"Who are these men in black? They are so decisive. After knowing that they could not run away, they all chose to commit suicide."

"They should be dead soldiers. They are all eighth-grade dead soldiers. The people behind the scenes are not simple."

Zhuge asked: "What do you think?"

Yan Ruohai replied: "It was the other party who killed Lin Gong. The purpose of these men in black may also be to kill Lin Gong, but someone got there first."

Zhu Ge took a breath and said in shock: "In Kyoto, two people attacked and killed Lin Gong at the same time. This is a big deal."

"No matter what, take the bodies of these people back to the forensic institute first, and then report them to His Majesty immediately."

…………

In Guangxin Palace, Li Yunrui has not slept. She is waiting for news.

Letting Zhou Chen kill Lin Gong was the safest way she could think of. Zhou Chen could come and go freely in the palace, so killing Lin Gong was not something she could easily do.

It's a pity that Zhou Chen didn't agree, but Lin Gong must die in Kyoto, so she could only find another method. The people sent out this time were all dead soldiers. No matter whether it succeeded or not, people would not think of her.

"The moonlight is beautiful tonight, and it will be a fine day tomorrow."

The person who reported the report finally came, and Li Yunrui was very surprised after hearing it.

"Our people met the Inspection Institute? Lin Gong was not killed by our people? Is there another party?"

"At this time, who would want to kill Lin Gong, and who would dare to kill Lin Gong in Kyoto?"

The first thing Li Yunrui thought of was Zhou Chen, but he quickly threw it away. This was impossible, that was.

Fan Xian?

Lin Gong, the son of Prime Minister Lin, was assassinated in Kyoto. The news spread quickly throughout Kyoto like a gust of wind.

The night in Kyoto once again stirred up trouble, and countless people were awakened from their sleep, including those big shots who stood at the top of power.

Because Lin Gong left the prince's residence, the prince received the news quickly. The moment he received the news, he was stunned.

First he was angry, then he was nervous. Lin Gong was a very important subordinate of his. Lin Gong's death was a huge loss to him.

Also, Lin Gong was killed after he left his place, and he seems to be inseparable from it...

He was also wondering who killed Lin Gong, and soon came up with an answer.

Fan Xian.

When the second prince heard the news, he was confused. He knew that Lin Gong was the real culprit behind the assassination of Fan Xian in Niulan Street, and he also thought that Fan Xian would cause trouble for Lin Gong.

But he never expected that Lin Gong would be killed quietly in Kyoto, which would have a greater impact than Fan Xian's previous assassination.

Fan Xian was assassinated, and he was okay after all, but Lin Gong died, so the meaning was naturally different.

Fan Xian.

"Could it be Fan Xian? Does he have this ability?"

Fan Xian didn't sleep very well tonight because he had decided to go find Lin Gong tomorrow, so he didn't fall asleep. Then he saw Fan Jian coming to find him with a solemn expression.

"Lin Gong is dead."

"What?"

Fan Xian looked shocked. Before he could say anything, Fan Jian asked again: "Does Lin Gong's death have anything to do with you?"

Fan Xian pointed at himself in astonishment: "How could it be related to me? I..."

Suddenly, he thought of Wu Zhu, but he quickly returned to normal.

"I've been staying at home, how could it have anything to do with me, why would it have anything to do with me?"

Fan Jian stared at Fan Xian for a long time and didn't see anything wrong, but he was still worried.

"It's best if it has nothing to do with you. From tonight on, don't go out. Lin Gong was assassinated in Kyoto, and Kyoto will be in chaos again."

"Who is so bold to be assassinated in Kyoto?" Fan Xian pretended to be shocked, with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Who knows, don't worry so much, just follow my instructions and don't go out, do you hear me?"

"I got it, Dad."

After Fan Jian left, Fan Xian still couldn't hide his shock. He looked around and found no one, so he dared to shout in a low voice: "Uncle Wu Zhu, Uncle Wu Zhu..."

After Zhou Chen woke up, he heard about Lin Gong's murder and was very surprised. He thought that this woman Li Yunrui could really kill Lin Gong in Kyoto so fast.

But after listening to the report from his men, he soon discovered something was wrong. Both groups wanted to assassinate Lin Gong?

"Wuzhu?"

Li Yunrui wanted to kill Lin Gong. He knew that the other party, he could think of, the person with this ability and this motive would most likely be Wu Zhu.

"It's interesting. After going round and round, the final result is this. But this time I'm afraid it will be a bigger fuss."

Lin Gong's assassination was already a major event, but being assassinated in Kyoto was even more serious. It was impossible not to cause chaos.

So, in the morning of that day, many people stood up to impeach.

There are many targets for impeachment, including the Inspection and Inspection Institute, Kyoto garrison, city guards, etc. All departments with the responsibility of guarding Kyoto have been impeached. Among them, Chen Pingping of the Inspection and Inspection Institute and Ye Zhong of Kyoto garrison were the most impeached.

The whole morning became chaotic.

As for Prime Minister Lin, who is the leader of the hundred officials, he did not even come to the morning court today.

Emperor Qing sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, looking at the chaos in the morning with almost no fluctuation in his mind.

After he learned about this last night, he had already thought about it a lot. He was originally worried about Zhou Chen, but suddenly something like this happened again, which naturally made him very unhappy.

But after thinking about it deeply, he suddenly felt that Lin Gong's death could make a fuss, but it was not necessarily a bad thing.

Let alone Lin Gong's death, even if Lin Ruofu died, Emperor Qing would not think there was a problem as long as it would help his overall situation.

In his heart, everything is focused on his imperial power, and everything else, even his biological son, is just a pawn in his hands.

Fan Jian originally didn't want Fan Xian to go out, but at dawn, someone came from the palace and said that Emperor Qing had summoned Fan Xian, so Fan Xian could only follow him to the palace obediently.

At the same time, Zhou Chen received another piece of information from Luo Xingfeng.

"Chen Pingping has returned to Beijing. It's a good time."

Thinking that Chen Pingping had invited him when they met before, but they never met again, and several months passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Chen was very aware of Emperor Qing's ambitions. Emperor Qing might have hated him so much that he wanted to kill him, but compared to ambition and country, Emperor Qing would definitely choose the latter at this time.

Lin Gong's death gave Emperor Qing an excuse to start a war with Northern Qi. He would never let go of such a good opportunity.

I'm feeling a bit unwell today, so I'll just update!
