Simultaneous travel: Each of me has a different golden finger

Chapter 178 Po Meng
"President Chen, you're welcome."

Bai Jing welcomed Chen Pingping into his house, with a strange look in his eyes.

Logically speaking, Chen Pingping shouldn't appear at this time. The only person who could make him do this must be Fan Xian.

Chen Pingping has a thin face and a clean beardless mouth. He sits in a wheelchair. His hair is gray and his hands are dry. He looks like a thin and disabled old man, but there is a flash of cruelty in the depths of his eyes from time to time.

"I wonder why Dean Chen is here?
If it's nothing serious, please leave quickly."

Bai Jing smiled.

"Hahaha."

Chen Pingping chuckled but did not blame him.

Emperor Qing had already issued an order that no one in the royal family was allowed to interfere with the Inspection Office, and anyone who violated the order would be severely punished.

Therefore, Chen Pingping never had any contact with the prince, let alone come to visit him openly like this.

Bai Jing knew that the moment Chen Pingping stepped into the mansion, the news might have already reached Emperor Qing's ears.

"Don't blame me, Third Prince. I will make it short."

"Well, Dean Chen, please go ahead."

"I hope His Royal Highness the Third Prince can ask Elder Meng to come out and heal Fan Xian's injuries.

In exchange, I can fully assist Your Highness in getting the Emperor to withdraw his order and set Wan'er free!"

Chen Pingping said solemnly.

It was not Chen Pingping's plan to let Fan Xian inherit the inner treasury. He hoped that Fan Xian would become the master of the Inspection Institute.

The engagement between Fan Xian and Lin Wan'er was facilitated by Fan Jian, and it was Chen Pingping who was happy to see the engagement canceled.

"Oh, Dean Chen really believes that I can find Elder Meng?"

Bai Jing did not agree immediately.

"I know that His Royal Highness the Third Prince and Elder Meng have some complaints about me, but the situation is like this, and there is nothing I can do."

Chen Pingping complained bitterly.

“Back then, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince teamed up to create a conflict between the Imperial Hospital and Elder Meng, and also encouraged His Majesty to bring Elder Meng into the Imperial Hospital.

This matter, after all, was the idea of ​​those two princes. Later, the Inspection Institute and the City Guards received orders from the emperor to keep Mr. Meng in Kyoto.

Your Majesty is determined to do this, and I cannot refuse."

"Dean Chen misunderstood. I don't blame you."

Bai Jing waved his hand.

In fact, he had not considered it carefully enough at the beginning and should not have let Meng Jiang reveal his ninth-grade strength.

Ninth-rank masters are rare in the world, and Bai Jing himself didn't pay much attention to it, but he overlooked the narrow-mindedness of the crown prince and the second prince.

The strongest fighting force around the Second Prince are Xie Bian and Fan Wujiu, both of whom are of the eighth rank, and the Crown Prince is not much better.

How could I not be anxious when I saw a ninth-grade person coming to Bai Jing's place?

There is a huge gap between the ninth rank and the eighth rank. Two peak eighth rank masters are no match for a ninth rank master.

"In that case, has the Third Prince agreed?"

"If Dean Chen can get my father to arrange a marriage between me and Wan'er, I will naturally help."

Bai Jing curled the corners of his mouth.

Chen Pingping was speechless and said, "This matter concerns the power of the inner treasury. I don't have the ability to do it."

The cancellation of the engagement between Lin Wan'er and Fan Xian means that the financial power of the inner treasury will still be in the hands of the eldest princess.

Letting Lin Wan'er marry Bai Jing means handing over the financial power of the inner treasury to Bai Jing, which are two completely different meanings.

"That's right. Unless my aunt makes a serious mistake, my father will not take away her financial power."

Bai Jing meant something.

Chen Pingping's heart moved, and there was a glimmer of light in his eyes as he looked at Bai Jing.

"What does this mean, Your Highness the Third Prince?"

"I say whatever Dean Chen thinks."

Chen Pingping smiled in relief and said, "I was wrong. No, everyone was wrong. The Third Prince is the one who has the most powerful hands and eyes...

Good! I can promise Your Highness that His Majesty will agree to your marriage with Princess Lin!"

“It’s a pleasure to talk to smart people!”

After Chen Pingping left, Bai Jing took out something from his arms that functioned similarly to a communicator.

This thing is also a [Qi device]. As long as you put the aura of other communicators in advance, you can make calls by injecting Qi. Ma Xianhong was rescued by Qu Tong, and after changing his appearance, he also refined a similar thing.

The farther the distance between the two people talking, the greater the power consumption. However, as long as one has ten years of Qi cultivation, one can talk to the other for a whole day even if they are thousands of miles apart. It is very practical.

"Drip drip!"

The call was connected, and a hoarse and old voice came from the communicator.

"Lord, what are your orders?"

"Come to my house tomorrow, no need to change your appearance."

"Yes, Mengpo, I will obey your orders."

…………

Just as Bai Jing had expected, the news of Chen Pingping's visit soon reached Emperor Qing's ears.

"This Chen Pingping is so anxious!"

Emperor Qing shot an arrow through his armor.

"Gong Dian, what do you think they are talking about?"

"I am terrified, I don't know!"

Gong Dian knelt down quickly, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

He is an eighth-rank master with a high status. He serves as the commander of the imperial army and also as the chief of the guards.

But one is the Third Prince, and the other is Chen Pingping, the director of the Inspection Institute. How dare he express his opinion?

"You're just too timid."

Emperor Qing cursed, but a hint of satisfaction flashed across his face.

"I won't make it difficult for you. Go and call Hong Sixiang to me."

"Yes!"

Gong Dian breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to ask for help.

Soon, Hong Sixiang entered Emperor Qing's palace.

Emperor Qing waved his hand and dismissed his attendants, and the palace officials did the same.

"Back then, Meng Jiang poisoned a group of city guards and experts from the Inspection Bureau and left Kyoto. I asked you to wait outside the city and secretly invite her in, but you failed."

Emperor Qing said calmly, his expression unclear as to whether he was happy or angry.

"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

Hong Sixiang knelt on the ground and could not get up.

"I am not here to question you. Stand up and speak."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Only then did Hong Sixiang dare to stand up.

Emperor Qing said, "I remember that when you came back, you said that Meng Jiang had the [Heaven-level Qi weapon] from the Tiansha Palace?"

"Yes, it was precisely because of that [Heavenly Grade Qi Device] that my subordinate failed.

Poison users are good at group attacks, but when it comes to individual combat, Doctor Meng is no match for the old slave.

I launched three consecutive palm strikes, but they were all blocked by the [Heaven-level Qi Device]. In addition, Doctor Meng was very skilled in Qinggong, so I was unable to catch up."

Hong Sixiang said ashamedly.

"That [Qi Device] is indeed magical."

Emperor Qing was itching to get the refining method of this thing. If he could get it and use it to equip the army, he would be invincible!

Unfortunately, no matter how hard we searched the Tiansha Palace’s headquarters, we couldn’t find it. What can we do?

Although Hong Sixiang is not a true grandmaster, he is also a half-step grandmaster. However, he cannot even break the defense of the [Heavenly Grade Qi Device]. You can imagine how powerful this thing is.

However, it was also because the grade of Meng Jiang's [Heavenly Grade Qi Instrument] was too high.

Ordinary people only know that the [Heavenly Grade Qi Instrument] is priced at five million taels.

But Emperor Qing knew that there were different grades of [Heavenly Grade Qi Instruments], and the strongest one was priced at 20 million taels. Even if Emperor Qing wanted to buy one, he would have to bear the pain.

Meng Jiang also paid a heavy price for her own life.

According to Emperor Qing's estimation, the [Heavenly Grade Qi Device] on Meng Jiang's body can block three attacks from Hong Sixiang, and its price is at least 10 million taels.
