I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 59 Lin Gong's Death
Fan Mansion, study.

"Dad, what do you think of the third brother's method?"

After having a conversation with Li Chengzong, Fan Xian returned to the Fan Mansion and found Fan Jian, telling him what happened when he went to Prince Ding's Mansion.

However, there was no mention of Li Chengzong's final plan to kill Lin Gong or Wu Zhu.

"It seems that I still underestimated him. Everyone underestimated this third brother."

Fan Jian sighed and suddenly asked, "You and the third brother don't have any grudges, right?"

"Dad, why do you ask?"

"His method is good, but..."

Fan Jian paused, his face a little serious, and said: "Once Lin Gong dies, everyone will suspect that you did it. You know that Lin Gong is the real murderer who assassinated you, and you are the only one who killed Lin Gong. If the third brother wants to plot against you in this matter, you have no excuse."

Fan Xian once again felt that his IQ was a little lacking.

"Are people in Kyoto so cunning?!"

"The waters of Kyoto are deep. If you don't be more careful, you may die without knowing what happened. I regret asking you to come to Kyoto now."

Fan Jian was quite emotional and sighed deeply, then reminded him seriously: "If you want to marry Lin Wan'er, you must take over the inner treasury. If you take over the inner treasury, you will be at the center of the storm. Think more about everything in the future."

Fan Xian nodded and returned to the original topic.

"I've thought about it carefully, and I don't think the third brother would cheat me on this matter. You also said that he has no interest in the inner treasury's financial power. I haven't offended him, so he has no reason to cheat me. Besides, you should know the relationship between his mother and my mother."

Fan Jian was shocked, "Did the third brother tell you that?"

"No, I went to him to save people that day and met Concubine Qin Xian. Then I heard her tell some stories about her and my mother. I could feel that she had a good relationship with my mother."

"I've gotten old, and I've forgotten about this. It seems that the Third Brother won't plot against you in this matter. You can use the method he suggested."

Fan Xian hummed and asked, "Dad, that day Concubine Qin said not to let other people, especially the eldest princess, know my mother's identity. Who is my mother?"

"Just remember what she said. As for who your mother is, you will know later."

Fan Jian waved his hand: "Okay, it's getting late, go back and go to bed early, and you will go to the Lin Mansion with me tomorrow morning."

The problem that had troubled him for several days finally had a proper solution. Fan Xian decided not to care about his father hiding the truth from his mother. He happily returned to his yard and planned to have a good sleep.

Just when he returned to the yard, Wu Zhu suddenly came, which made Fan Xian even happier and even excited.

He hadn't seen Wuzhu for a long time since he came to Kyoto. If Wuzhu had been in Kyoto during the assassination on Niulan Street, he and Teng Zijing would not have been in any danger at all.

In fact, Fan Xian didn't know that not long after he captured Si Lili and brought her back to Beijing, Wu Zhu came to Kyoto. After learning that he had been assassinated, he watched him struggle for a long time.

Wu Zhu told him about his trip to Jiangnan, and they chatted for a while before disappearing.

Fan Xian was not surprised, but he didn't know that Wu Zhu was going to kill Lin Gong.

Wu Zhu is a robot and will not consider emotional issues like Fan Ruoruo. He only knows that he must protect Fan Xian and he will kill anyone who wants to kill Fan Xian.

So the next day, when Fan Jian took Fan Xian to the Lin Mansion, Wu Zhu tracked the escaped Lin Gong out of the city.

Lin Gong originally didn't want to flee Kyoto, but the prince specifically advised him yesterday.

Everyone in Kyoto knew that Fan Xian had captured Si Lili, but no one knew whether Fan Xian knew that Lin Gong was the mastermind behind the assassination on Niulan Street. In addition, Fan Xian had been staying in the Fan Mansion without making any movement since returning to Beijing, which made the prince feel that something was wrong. To be on the safe side, he asked Lin Gong to leave Kyoto temporarily.

Lin Gong was the prince's disciple, and he could not refuse the prince's order. Moreover, the prince had promised him that before he returned to Kyoto, he would find a way to cancel the marriage between Fan Xian and Lin Wan'er.

Finally, Lin Gong obeyed the prince's order and left the Lin Mansion and Kyoto early this morning with a group of guards.

There was a villa forty miles outside of Kyoto. As soon as Lin Gong entered the villa, Wu Zhu arrived right after him.

"Who are you and how did you know I was here?"

"Lin Gong?" Wu Zhu asked as he walked into the yard.

A guard immediately shouted, "How dare you! You are not the one to call the Second Young Master by his name."

Wu Zhu's expression remained the same, and even the tone of his voice did not fluctuate at all: "Everything in the world has its beginning and end. If you want to kill Fan Xian, I will kill you."

"Kill him."

"Second Master, why don't you ask who sent him?"

"Kill him, and the people behind him will appear naturally."

Hearing this, his men immediately stepped forward and chopped at Wuzhu with knives, but Wuzhu was faster and easily dodged the attack, then counterattacked and took the opponent's life.

Seeing this, everyone rushed towards Wu Zhu. Although the guards around Lin Gong were all masters of the seventh rank or above, to Grandmaster Wu Zhu, they were no different from children.

The iron rod in Wuzhu's hand turned into the sickle of the god of death, reaping the life of every person who rushed up.

In the end, Lin Gong also died under Wuzhu's iron rod.

It was the Supervisory Council that came to collect the body, and they initially suspected that it was Xie Bian, a disciple of the Second Brother, who did it.

This involved a dispute among the princes, so it was reported to Emperor Qing, and the news was not released until night.

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

The originally peaceful night was suddenly turbulent, and countless people woke up from their sleep, all of them were powerful figures in Kyoto.

Guangxin Palace.

"Did Fan Xian kill Lin Gong?"

Princess Li Yunrui was the first to get the news, after all, she was the one who headed the First Division of the Supervisory Council, Zhu Ge.

"According to the news from the Supervisory Office, when the Second Young Master died, Fan Xian and Si Nanbo were at Prime Minister Lin's residence. Moreover, the person who killed the Second Young Master was an expert in swordsmanship. The Supervisory Office suspected that it was Xie Bian, a subordinate of the Second Prince."

Li Yunrui shook his head: "It can't be the second brother. Although the second brother is fighting with the prince, he will never let Xie Bian kill Lin Gong."

"Who else could it be?" The lady historian was puzzled. Li Yunrui was silent for a moment and asked, "Did anyone from Zong'er's side go out?"

"There has been no unusual movement in the Third Prince's residence recently. The Third Prince has been with the manager every day..."

There was a "bang" sound.

Li Yunrui was so angry that he overturned the table in front of him, interrupted the lady's words, and said with gritted teeth: "Don't tell me about that bitch."

The lady didn't dare to speak.

Li Yunrui was furious for a long time before he calmed down. With murderous intent in his eyes, he asked about the matter of placing people in Dingwang Mansion and completely forgot about Lin Gong's death.

East Palace.

Li Chengqian was very angry when he learned that Lin Gong had died. Lin Gong was the successor of the Lin family and a very important person under him. Lin Gong's death was a huge loss to him.

Then the situation became tense. It was he who asked Lin Gong to leave the city, but Lin Gong was assassinated outside the city. No matter how you look at it, it seems that he was involved.

But he knew that he did not kill Lin Gong, so who killed Lin Gong?

He soon came up with an answer.

Fan Xian!

Apart from Fan Xian, he really couldn't think of anyone else who would kill Lin Gong.

"Perhaps, Lin Gong's death is also a good thing."

The prince lowered his head and talked to himself in a voice that only he could hear, with a slight smile on his face.

The second brother was not in the imperial city and was slow to receive news. When he received the news of Lin Gong's death, he was a little confused.

He had already found out that Lin Gong was the real culprit behind the assassination on Niulan Street, and he also thought that Fan Xian would cause trouble for Lin Gong.

He was about to contact Fan Xian, but he didn't expect Fan Xian to follow Si Nanbo to the Lin family in a high-profile manner.

However, when Fan Xian was at the Lin family, Lin Gong was killed quietly, which had a greater impact than the assassination on Niulan Street.

After all, although Fan Xian was assassinated, he was fine in the end, but Lin Gong was dead, which has a completely different meaning.

"Could it be Fan Xian? Is there an expert around him?"

Fan Mansion.

Fan Xian was originally very happy.

This morning, he followed Fan Jian to the Lin family and the result was very good.

虽然没有见到林珙，但林若甫表示会尽快求陛下让他和林婉儿成婚，表示以后会扶持他，表示大家都是一家人让他亲自揍林珙出气等等。

In short, the words sounded very nice, the feud between the two families was resolved, and the Niulan Street assassination case came to an end.

But what Fan Xian never expected was that Wu Zhu actually killed Lin Gong today.

He was so angry that Wuzhu's tone of voice changed.

Finally, they talked about Ye Qingmei and the box she left behind, and Fan Xian did not continue to blame Wu Zhu for causing trouble.

However, Fan Xian did not sleep well that night, as he felt that Lin Gong's death would explode sooner or later.

Probably because he didn't sleep well last night, Fan Xian got up early in the morning and washed his face with a basin of cold water to refresh himself before going to have breakfast.

Then, Fan Jian called him to the study.

"Lin Gong is dead."

"what?"

Fan Xian pretended to be shocked. Before he could say anything, Fan Jian spoke again, "The Supervisory Office found him dead yesterday in a remote manor in the suburbs. The murderer was a swordsman. We all know that Xie Bian, who works under the second brother, is a swordsman. But the third brother also has swordsmen who are not inferior to Xie Bian. Do you think the third brother sent someone to kill Lin Gong?"

"Does the third brother have a grudge against Lin Gong?" Fan Xian asked in surprise.

Fan Jian shook his head and suddenly asked, "Did Wuzhu return to Beijing?"

Fan Xian is also an old actor. He has long known that it was Wu Zhu who killed Lin Gong, so naturally he did not reveal any flaws in front of Fan Jian.

When Fan Xian left the study, a servant came to report that Lin Ruofu and the Eastern Palace had sent people.

When he was in a dilemma, someone came to report that Emperor Qing summoned him to the palace.

Dingwangfu.

Li Chengzong came out of the room, pounding his waist. Just as he was about to ask someone to bring breakfast to Si Lili's room, Xu Qingyun came hurriedly.

"Your Highness, Lin Gong is dead."

"What?" Li Chengzong seemed not to hear clearly.

"Lin Gong is dead. He died yesterday in the suburbs of Kyoto. It is said that he was killed by a swordsmanship expert."

This time he heard it clearly, and Li Chengzong was a little confused.

Perhaps it was because Teng Zijing was not dead, he could see that Fan Xian had no intention of killing Lin Gong, so he gave Fan Xian that idea.

I originally thought that Fan Xian would dissuade Wu Zhu and allow Lin Gong to escape.

Unexpectedly, Lin Gong still died.

Li Chengzong nodded: "I understand, let someone send some money over."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Huai'en came again.

"Master, Chen Pingping has returned to Beijing."
