I am gradually omniscient in the heavens

Chapter 167 Confrontation in front of the palace
Fan Xian followed Hou Gonggong into the palace, where he met his future father-in-law Lin Ruofu.

Hurry up and salute: "Mr. Lin!"

Lin Ruofu has already recognized Fan Xian at this time, so it is good for Fan Xian to call himself the uncle.

Fan Xian had no objection, and took advantage of the opportunity to call Shi Bo.

Lin Ruofu said: "Your Majesty summoned him, saying that it was related to Gong'er's death. If we confront each other in front of the hall, there is no way out."

After Eunuch Hou went in to report to Emperor Qing, he came out to invite Fan Xian and Lin Ruofu into the palace.

Fan Xian thought a lot in an instant.

Afterwards, following the pace of Eunuch Hou, he entered the hall.

Seeing that the crown prince and the second prince were there, Emperor Qing asked someone to move a chair for Lin Ruofu.

Then he said: "Everyone is here, you are here in front of each other and speak clearly."

After speaking, Emperor Qing left, the crown prince walked up to Lin Ruofu and saluted, Lin Ruofu hurriedly returned the salute.

After seeing the ceremony, the prince said: "The Jiancha Yuan has seen the corpse, Lin Gong died with a master's fast sword, and the only swordsman in Beijing who uses swords is Xie Bi'an, a disciple of the second elder brother, who has this sword skill."

Lin Ruofu looked at the prince and said, "What does the prince mean?"

The second prince didn't wait for Lin Ruofu to finish speaking, and said, "The prince means that I am the murderer who killed Lin Gong."

Lin Ruofu knew that although the second prince and Lin Gong didn't have a good relationship, they probably wouldn't kill him, but he followed the prince's words and asked, "Is your highness the murderer?"

The second prince said directly, "You have to ask Fan Xian about that."

Hearing this, Lin Ruofu and the prince looked at Fan Xian suspiciously.

Hearing this, Fan Xian hurried to the Second Prince's side: "Second Highness, what does this have to do with me?"

The second prince said: "At the end of the day when Lin Gong was killed, Fan Xian and I ran into each other on the street and chatted. Xie Bi'an was at the side at that time. Let's be a circumstantial evidence."

Upon hearing this, the crown prince asked Fan Xian, "Is there such a thing?"

Fan Xian nodded and said, "That's true."

The second prince went on to say: "The Inspection Institute has already confirmed that Lin Gong died in Sishi, so Xie Bi'an should not be able to drive out of the city in time to commit murder.

And there is a saying, what the crown prince said is not right, Fan Xian is also a ninth-rank master, and as far as I know, a few days ago, when he went to the Royal Courtyard, he easily subdued Lin Gong and his subordinates.

Many people should know what happened that day.That day when Fan Xian went to the Royal Courtyard, the prince's people should also know about it, right? "

Before Fan Xian could speak, the Crown Prince said, "There is another possibility. Fan Xian cooperated with you and joined forces with Xie Bi'an to assassinate Lin Gong. At this time, you are lying and cheating to get rid of the relationship."

Hearing the words, the second prince stood up and asked, "Absurd, why did I kill Lin Gong, and why did Fan Xian kill Lin Gong?"

The prince immediately said: "Lin Gong planned the Niulan Street assassination, Fan Xian has a grudge against him."

Upon hearing this, Fan Xian asked excitedly, "What did you say? Lin Gong planned the Niulan Street assassination? I didn't know about it."

The second prince then said: "The crown prince wants to convict the courtier, then you and I will be wronged, bear with it."

The prince heard the words and said: "According to what you said, who can have such sword skills except Xie Bi'an and Fan Xian?"

The second prince choked: "It's not difficult to raise an unknown sword master?"

Hearing this, the prince asked angrily, "Who are you alluding to?"

The second prince answered, "That's all for reasoning."

Seeing the smell of gunpowder on the scene getting stronger and stronger, Fan Xian stepped aside, while Lin Ruofu drank tea calmly, watching the quarrel between the crown prince and the second prince.

At this moment, Emperor Qing's voice sounded.

"Are you noisy enough?"

Everyone looked at Emperor Qing and hurriedly saluted.

Seeing this, Emperor Qing said, "Xiang Lin, you are the master of suffering, what do you mean?"

Lin Ruofu stood up and said, "In Lin's opinion, Chen Pingping should be the one to blame."

Hearing this, everyone present was very surprised. What do you mean by this?
Seeing Lin Ruofu continue to say: "The Inspection Institute has the responsibility to supervise the capital, and the real culprit of the dog's murder has not been found until today. It can be seen that Chen Pingping's control is not strict, and it is not good for things."

Emperor Qing nodded when he heard the words, and felt that it made sense, so he asked Eunuch Hou to announce the decree and let Chen Pingping enter the palace to face the saint.

After waiting for a while, Chen Pingping came over.

Eunuch Hou pushed Chen Pingping's wheelchair into the hall.

When Chen Pingping saw the people in the hall, she knew what was going on.

When Emperor Qing saw Chen Pingping coming in, he reprimanded: "Chen Pingping, are you guilty?"

Chen Pingping was very puzzled: "What is your crime?"

Afterwards, Emperor Qing explained the matter, and Chen Pingping immediately had a clear idea of ​​the whole story.

Chen Pingping saluted and said, "Return to Your Majesty, the murderer has been found out."

Emperor Qing seemed surprised by these words, but Fan Xian had already discovered that Emperor Qing seemed to know everything.

Afterwards, I heard Chen Pingping say: "The murderer is Dongyi City, Sigu Jian."

Hearing this, Fan Xian raised his eyebrows. He was a little surprised by the answer. The reason was that Si Gu Jian was indeed the best sword among the four great masters. This directly shifted the responsibility to Si Gu Jian, and there was no way Si Gu Jian pulled to confront.

Afterwards, Chen Pingping made a series of statements, pushing everything to Bei Qi, with a set of tricks, even Fan Xian, who knew the truth, almost believed his nonsense.

Fan Xian could tell that Chen Pingping and Emperor Qing were laying the groundwork for a war.The two are here to play the oboe.

It is necessary to unify the thinking before launching the national war. Otherwise, if the internal thinking is not unified, problems will easily occur.

Lin Ruofu already understood what Emperor Qing meant, and he also understood what to do next.

Seeing Lin Ruofu knelt down on the ground, saluted Emperor Qing, grabbed his head and said: "Please send troops to attack Northern Qi and avenge my son!"

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Emperor Qing quickly pulled Lin Ruofu up.

Subsequently, the regulations for the use of troops against the Northern Qi Dynasty were announced.

Then, Fan Xian and Lin Ruofu left the palace together.

The atmosphere on the road was very dull, and Fan Xian pretended to be a political noob here.Just ask stupid questions.

Lin Ruofu also answered them one by one.

For this result, Lin Ruofu has nothing to do. His Majesty has given a murderer, and this matter is over. If Lin Ruofu makes trouble again, it means that Lin Ruofu doesn't know how to measure.

How could Lin Ruofu, an old fox who had been in officialdom for decades, not understand.

Fan Xian went out of the palace alone. The development of the matter was somewhat beyond Fan Xian's expectations, but it was considered a good thing, as he had completely plucked himself clean.

After leaving the palace, Fan Xian did not go home directly, but prepared to go to the street to buy some food. At noon, Wang Qinian, a scumbag, only bought half a bowl of noodles for himself. He was not full, so he finished eating again. A bowl of noodles, just go home.
