Zhu Tian: A journey of spiritual practice starting from Joy of Life

Chapter 72 The Second Prince Blocks the Road

"Master Xiang!"

Leng Feibai didn't want to waste any more time talking. After confirming that he and Lin Ruofu were the only ones around, he got straight to the point and asked, "If you suspect that the Second Young Master's death is related to me or Fan Xian, then I can tell you. His death has nothing to do with us."

Lin Ruofu didn't expect Leng Feibai to be so straightforward, and said calmly, "I didn't ask you that?"

Leng Feibai's face was expressionless. "You still have this suspicion in your heart, but as long as you investigate carefully, you will find out that I have only been out of the Fan Mansion for a few days recently. As for Fan Xian, he goes to the Royal Villa every day to help your daughter's illness and recuperates. He has no time to go out of the city to kill people. Moreover..."

Leng Feibai walked up to Lin Ruofu and said, "Prime Minister Lin, you know in your heart that the Second Young Master is secretly communicating with Northern Qi. Can you easily get away with it with His Majesty?"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Ruofu's face suddenly darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Junior, take your leave!"

Leng Feibai was about to leave when Lin Ruofu held his shoulders.

Leng Feibai turned around and looked over, only to hear Lin Ruofu suppress his emotions and say, "Don't leave so quickly, I still have something to tell you!"

After saying this, Lin Ruofu stepped forward and closed the study door. He looked at Leng Feibai and asked, "Are you sure it was His Majesty who did this?"

"You guessed it, the murderer who killed the Second Young Master is a soldier."

Leng Feibai said calmly, "You know very well how few people in Qing Kingdom can mobilize the army silently."

Lin Ruofu was an old fox, and he reacted immediately after being exposed by Leng Feibai.

"That's it, that's it!"

Even though Lin Ruofu felt hatred in his heart, he couldn't say too much.

Otherwise, if the news gets out, it will only take time for the Lin family to be wiped out.

"Don't spread this matter, or nothing good will happen!"

Leng Feibai smiled slightly after hearing this and said, "Don't worry, Minister Lin. Even though I am a warrior, I am not that stupid."

Lin Ruofu nodded after hearing this and asked again, "What do you think of my eldest son?"

"Very lively, just as noisy as Fan Xian was when he was a kid!
Leng Feibai smiled helplessly, "But is your son suffering from the sequelae of high fever?"

Lin Ruofu nodded and said in a sad tone, "Dabao contracted a serious disease in his early years. Although he saved his life, his brain was damaged. I saw you staying away from Dabao just now, it must be..."

"Forest Phase"

Leng Feibai suddenly interrupted Lin Ruofu, "I don't look down on you, Young Master. It's just that I prefer quietness, so I don't want to be around people who make a lot of noise. If Prime Minister Lin feels that I've been rude, then I'm willing to apologize."

After saying that, Leng Feibai bowed to Lin Ruofu again.

"You are Welcome!"

Seeing that Leng Feibai had no ill intentions towards Dabao, Lin Ruofu felt relieved and said, "You are the younger generation. From now on, just call me uncle like Fan Xian."

Leng Feibai said nothing, just nodded.

"buzz"

The door opened and a figure walked in and said, "Prime Minister!"

The man was tall and fat, and Leng Feibai recognized his identity at a glance.

Yuan Hongdao, the triple agent in Joy of Life.

When Yuan Hongdao saw Leng Feibai, he smiled and said, "This must be Mr. Leng, he is indeed handsome."

"You're welcome!"

Leng Feibai replied calmly, while Yuan Hongdao looked at Lin Ruofu.

"Just tell me!"

Lin Ruofu did not hide his feelings and signaled Yuan Hongdao not to worry about Leng Feibai.

Yuan Hongdao hesitated for a moment and then quickly said, "Ye Ling'er sent a message. There's no chance for Fan Xian and Leng Feibai to leave the city these days."

Leng Feibai was secretly happy in his heart. Although there was martial arts in this world, there was no such special method as wearing a mask and disguising oneself.

Otherwise, the credibility of the gatekeeper's investigation into such matters would definitely not be 100%.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Lin Ruofu sighed and said, "Mr. Yuan, please go find Fan Xian."

Looking at the two of them, Leng Feibai bowed and said, "Uncle, I will take my leave now."

"Let's go now."

Lin Ruofu looked at Leng Feibai and said with a smile, "Are you so confident that I won't harm Fan Xian?"

"You wouldn't do that."

After Leng Feibai finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the room, disappearing in front of the two of them.

"This kid guessed right!"

Lin Ruofu sighed and said, "He knows that Fan Xian is the only one I can count on right now. Furthermore, as long as it's confirmed that Gong'er's death wasn't caused by the two brothers, then this matter will be over. He also sees that the people I'm most worried about are Dabao and Wan'er. Fan Xian is close to Dabao and is devoted to Wan'er. Entrusting the Lin family to him is my only choice."

Yuan Hongdao nodded, turned and left the room.

When Yuan Hongdao came to the front yard, he happened to see Fan Xian chatting with Lin Dabao.

Seeing Lin Dabao's happy expression, Yuan Hongdao immediately understood why Lin Ruofu was optimistic about Fan Xian.

After leaving the Lin Mansion, Leng Feibai strolled on the street.

"At this moment, Fan Xian can be considered to have been completely recognized by his father-in-law."

Leng Feibai held his chin up, "But those knife marks on Lin Gong's body do look familiar!"

The moment he saw Lin Gong's body, Leng Feibai secretly activated Fenghou Qimen, sensed it from a distance, and saw the knife marks on his body.

Those knife marks were exactly the same as the scars on the body of the Northern Qi assassin who was hacked to death by the Black Cavalry a few days ago.

"The only ones who can mobilize the Black Cavalry are Chen Pingping and Emperor Qing. Chen Pingping isn't in Kyoto right now, but that doesn't mean he's not a suspect... Hehehe, but that's not my concern!"

After saying that, Leng Feibai turned and walked towards the vegetable street in Kyoto, ready to buy some fresh ingredients to make dumplings to satisfy his craving.

But before Leng Feibai could walk far, a figure blocked his way.

"Wang Qinian?"

Leng Feibai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked, "What's going on? Is the prince making a fuss?"

Wang Qinian was stunned and said, "My God, how did you know that?"

"Guess!"

Leng Feibai rubbed his head and said, "Did the Crown Prince go to His Majesty and demand a thorough investigation into Lin Gong's murder? And then he offended His Majesty and was put under house arrest?"

Wang Qinian nodded. "That's about right. The Crown Prince did go to His Majesty and cause a scene. His Majesty was furious and confined the Crown Prince to his home until the war with Northern Qi was over. He was told to read more books on sages."

"What's Chen Pingping's attitude? Hasn't he returned yet?"

Leng Feibai recalled silently. If he remembered correctly, Chen Pingping returned to Kyoto at this time.

"The dean is on his way back!"

Wang Qinian couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Leng, do you want to see the dean?"

"He should want to see me, and even more so, Fan Xian. Then have him send someone to the Fan Mansion to look for me!"

After Leng Feibai finished speaking, he asked, "Old Wang, I want to ask you something. Which shop in Kyoto sells better vegetables and pork?"

"what?"

Wang Qinian was stunned, but still pointed in the direction to Leng Feibai.

After saying goodbye to Wang Qinian, Leng Feibai bought some flour, vegetables and fresh pork filling on the street, and then headed home.

But before he could walk far, two figures blocked his way again.

"You guys really have so much free time!"

Leng Feibai said helplessly, "Xie Bian, this must be Fan Wujiu!"

Xie Bian held his sword and bowed, "Master Leng, His Highness invites you!"
