Chapter 190 Lin Ruofu's Doubts
"My guess."

Fan Xian held it in for a long time before speaking.

"Why don't you take good care of your injuries and come to see me?"

Hearing this, Fan Xian remembered his purpose this time and said, "I want to ask Uncle Wu Zhu to kill someone."

Wu Zhu glanced sideways and asked, "Who do you want to kill?"

"Lin Gong, the son of Prime Minister Lin!"

Fan Xian looked serious.

"it is good."

Seeing Wu Zhu agreed so decisively, Fan Xian was a little stunned and said, "Uncle Wu Zhu, why don't you ask me why?"

"No need, if you want to kill me, I will kill you."

Wu Zhu's expression remained calm.

Fan Xian felt warm in his heart and said, "Uncle Wu Zhu, thank you. You have been with me for so long. I don't know how to thank you enough."

"Need not."

Wu Zhu shook his head and suddenly said, "Oh, I remember where the key to the box is."

"Really!"

Fan Xian looked excited. He pulled Wu Zhu to his room and took out a strange box.

This is Ye Qingmei's inheritance. It is said that it contains her most precious things. Fan Xian and Wu Zhu have always wanted to open it, but they don't have the key.

"Where's the key?"

"If I remember correctly, it's in the hands of an old lady in the palace."

"The palace, old lady? In the palace, apart from the old emperor and a bunch of concubines, there is no such thing as an old lady, etc...."

Fan Xian thought about it, with a strange look on his face: "Could it be the Queen Mother?"

"Well, that's her."

Fan Xian swallowed his saliva and said, "Uncle Wu Zhu, could you be mistaken?

There is a guard named Hong Sixiang who is suspected to be a Grandmaster in the Queen Mother's Palace. I can't go in and steal anything!"

"I finally remembered it, and I can't be wrong."

Fan Xian felt so miserable that he could not even cry. Instead, he hoped that Wu Zhu was mistaken.

“I’ll figure this out later.

Uncle Wuzhu, help me kill Lin Gong first!"

"it is good."

…………

"Rebellious son! Tell me, how did you get me into this huge trouble?"

Minister Lin held a long whip in his hand and beat Lin Gong with the family rules. The whip fell and Lin Gong's skin was torn and flesh was exposed.

"Dad, I don't know either!"

Lin Gong had no words to express his pain.

"How dare you hide it!"

"Clap clap clap!"

"what!"

Lin Wan'er and Dabao advised, "Dad, stop hitting me!"

"Why does Uncle Lin have to do this? Brother Lin Gong may have his own reasons."

Bai Jing smiled, took the whip from Lin Ruofu's hand and threw it aside, saving Lin Gong from the subsequent physical pain.

"I'm sorry to have made your Highness the Third Prince laugh."

Lin Ruofu sighed.

Since the Lin family was in trouble, Meng Jiang would naturally inform the third prince of the news. When the prince came to the mansion to express his condolences, Lin Ruofu could not refuse.

Moreover, he had seen how the Third Prince had changed his mind and treated Lin Wan'er well over the years, and how Lin Wan'er had a deep love for the Third Prince.

If Lin Ruofu had not known that Emperor Qing preferred the Crown Prince to inherit the throne, he would have already agreed to marry Lin Wan'er to Bai Jing.

But just when he was hesitating, the illegitimate son of the Fan family showed up. It was fate.

Bai Jing helped Lin Ruofu sit down. Lin Gong breathed a sigh of relief and was about to get up when Lin Ruofu called him again.

"Rebellious son, keep kneeling!"

Lin Gong was startled and fell to the ground with his head.

"If you don't speak for a day, you won't be able to get up for a day."

Lin Ruofu said coldly.

Under Lin Ruofu's pressure, Lin Gong still couldn't hold on.

"Dad, this is what happened..."

"and many more."

Lin Ruofu interrupted him and waved his sleeves. "Mr. Yuan."

A middle-aged man dressed as a counselor entered the hall.

This man's name was Yuan Hongdao, and he was a retainer of Lin Ruofu. The two had known each other for more than ten years and were close friends.

"Take Dabao down."

"Yes."

Yuan Hongdao took the order and left with the foolish Dabao.

"Daddy, please stop hitting Erbao."

"Be good, Dabao. Daddy knows the limits."

After the two men left, Lin Ruofu's expression returned to seriousness.

"Go ahead."

"Yes, the eldest princess. I am following the eldest princess's orders."

Lin Gong told the whole story of how he assassinated Fan Xian.

"I can only think of someone who has offended Fan Xian recently. It must be him!"

A trace of hatred flashed in Lin Gong's eyes.

"You are such a troublemaker!"

Lin Ruofu waved his sleeves, feeling very disappointed with his friend, and said, "Do you know who Fan Xian is?!"

"He's just the son of the Minister of Revenue. Fan Jian doesn't hold a high position or have much power. Dad is much better than him!"

Lin Gong was puzzled.

"A mere Minister of the Ministry of Revenue?!

That's how you see it!
The old lady of the Fan family is the wet nurse of the current emperor! The relationship between Fan Jian and the emperor is not so simple!
If Fan Jian had not been interested in officialdom, how could he be just the so-called Minister of the Ministry of Revenue! "

Lin Ruofu roared.

"And the eldest princess, how did you get in touch with her? Do you know that woman is crazy?"

"But my son thinks that the princess is quite good to Wan'er!

The princess told me that if Fan Xian is killed, Wan'er's marriage can be cancelled!"

"You believe what she says! I am getting old and confused! If it is really that simple, why don't I do it!"

Lin Ruofu was furious.

Lin Gong lowered his head in shame.

"Will she really be nice to Wan'er?

Do you know that when that crazy woman was pregnant with Wan'er, she insisted on having an abortion, and even my plea for mercy was of no avail.

If I hadn't risen in the officialdom during her pregnancy, Wan'er wouldn't have been born! You are so confused! "

"Dad, what should we do now?"

Lin Gong finally understood the seriousness of the matter and said in panic.

"For now, you have no choice but to leave Kyoto."

"Dad, there's no need to do this!"

Lin Gong’s eyes widened.

"Fan Xian is not that simple."

Lin Ruofu sighed and said, "Do you know who the shifty-looking guy is who is following behind Fan Xian?"

Lin Gong thought of Wang Qinian, but he didn't know his specific identity, so he said, "Son, I don't know, please enlighten me, father."

"Wang Qinian was a famous bandit in the past. He was also famous ten years ago. His Qinggong was so strong that even a ninth-rank monk could not catch up with him.

But later he was hunted down by the Inspection Bureau and disappeared without a trace. When he reappeared, he had become a member of the Inspection Bureau.

This man was greedy by nature, but extremely arrogant in his bones. In the past, many senior officials in the court wanted to recruit him as a retainer, but he refused.

He can join the Inspection Institute, but only Chen Pingping, the director, can command him, and no one else can."

Lin Ruofu said earnestly.

"In other words, Wang Qinian is Chen Pingping's man, and it was he who asked Wang Qinian to follow Fan Xian."

Lin Gong was horrified when he thought about it carefully.

If this is true, how could Fan Xian be valued by Chen Pingping?
Lin Gong understood that he had made a huge mess!

"My son will leave Kyoto tomorrow."

"You still want tomorrow, leave today!"

Lin Ruofu waved his hand and immediately asked people to prepare the carriages and horses.

After sending the people away, Lin Ruofu also showed his confusion: "The princess asked Gong'er to take the waist badge from the Northern Qi spy Si Lili, and instructed Cheng Jushu to assassinate Fan Xian...

But how did the princess know Si Lili's identity?"
