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

Chapter 92 Chen Pingping's Invitation
Emperor Qing had a blank expression on his face. He ordered the coroners to go back and had Yan Xiaoyi's body carried out.

Because Yan Xiaoyi had no family, the palace had to bury him as if he had died in an accident.

The next morning, in Fan Xian's room, Fan Xian and Leng Feibai were each wrapped in a quilt, lying on the floor in a mess.

"whoosh"

After knocking on the door for a long time but hearing no response, Wang Qinian flew in using his Qinggong skills.

As soon as he saw the two people in the room, Wang Qinian hurried forward and woke them up.

"Pharaoh!"

Fan Xian, sleepy-eyed, looked at Wang Qinian's face, quickly sat up and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Something serious has happened."

Wang Qinian quickly said, "Sir, I sent the locksmith out of the city early this morning..."

Half an hour ago, outside the city gate, Wang Qinian led a horse and brought the locksmith who helped Fan Xian make the key last night to the outside of the city. After instructing him not to leak the news, he asked him to ride south and not return to Kyoto in the short time.

After seeing the locksmith off, Wang Qinian prepared to go back.

As soon as he turned around, Chen Pingping and the shadow immediately appeared in front of him.

Wang Qinian was so frightened that he fell to his knees. He smiled and said, "Dean Chen, Lord Shadow, are you two here for a stroll at the city gate so early this morning?"

Chen Pingping leaned his hands against the pergola and looked into the distance, saying, "Who is that person?"

Wang Qinian knew very well that if he dared to sell out Fan Xian here, he would definitely not end up well, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it.

"The Dean"

Wang Qinian quickly thought of an excuse. "I saw a treasure in a shop a few days ago, and my old habit came back, so I asked the locksmith to make me a key. Dean, since I haven't taken any action yet, please forgive me this time."

Seeing Wang Qinian laughing, Chen Pingping said expressionlessly, "I'll send out the Black Cavalry now, and they'll catch him back by noon. You know Shadow's methods, so don't try to hide it from me."

After hearing this, Wang Qinian said stiffly, "Dean, I really only made a key. I don't know anything else."

Chen Pingping continued, "Last night, an assassin caused trouble in the palace, and Yan Xiaoyi was killed by lightning. Do you know what happened? And does this have anything to do with Fan Xian and Leng Feibai?"

"no"

At this moment, Wang Qinian's mouth was like a bamboo root in the broken rock, biting tightly and refusing to let go.

Chen Pingping laughed, and his laugh was very creepy.

At this time, Shadow came from behind the wheelchair to Wang Qinian and looked at him expressionlessly.

"Whirring whirring"

Wang Qinian gasped and couldn't help but close his eyes.

"Um"

Shadow looked at Wang Qinian and took out a key from his arms and handed it to him.

"That locksmith is my man!"

Chen Pingping lowered his head and whispered, "Go tell Fan Xian that he can trust me. I will help him suppress this matter and help him find and fill in the gaps. Also..."

Fan Xian was completely stunned as he listened to Wang Qinian's report.

"Didn't you say that the locksmith's identity was okay?"

Fan Xian said with regret that it was a good thing that the other party knew Chen Pingping, otherwise he would be in trouble.

"It's not my fault, sir."

Wang Qinian quickly said, "I've known that locksmith for more than ten years, and I never knew he was the dean's man."

"Let's not talk about this for now!"

Fan Xian continued, "There's one more thing. Does Chen Pingping have anything else to say to me?"

"Have!"

Wang Qinian looked at Leng Feibai, who was still half asleep, and said quickly, "The dean asked Mr. Leng to go to the Inspection Institute. The dean wants to see him urgently."

"Chen Pingping is looking for me?"

Leng Feibai yawned again and said, "Yeah, I just happened to be looking for him."

After saying this, Leng Feibai looked at Fan Xian and said, "I know you have your own plans, but be careful and don't let anyone... Never mind. Chen Pingping is here anyway. He'll know everything you do."

"No way!"

Fan Xian was stunned and said, "Does our Dean Chen really have all the power?"

"Haha!" Leng Feibai sneered, "Believe it or not, he can hear you tap your toe at home."

After saying that, Leng Feibai washed up, changed into casual clothes, and came to the Inspection Institute alone.

"Mr. Leng!" The person waiting outside the door saw Leng Feibai coming and made an inviting gesture, "The dean is waiting for you in the room, please follow me."

As soon as he entered, Leng Feibai immediately felt that many people in the Inspection Institute were staring at him with angry eyes.

"what's the situation?"

Leng Feibai followed the man into a yard while thinking.

I saw a man with a mustache giving Chen Pingping a massage.

"You came!"

Chen Pingping, sweating all over, pointed at the mustache-wearing figure beside him and said, "This is the head of the Eighth Division, Xuan Jiu. Xuan Jiu is Leng Feibai."

"Master Xuan!"

Leng Feibai bowed, but Xuan Jiu ignored him, stood up and said, "Dean, I'll be leaving first."

After saying that, Xuan Jiu turned and walked out.

"I haven't offended Lord Xuan, have I?"

Leng Feibai was speechless. Chen Pingping couldn't help but say, "Don't mind it. He's just upset because of Ah Zhu's death."

"hehe!"

Leng Feibai smiled awkwardly and then said, "Dean Chen came to see me, is there something wrong?"

Chen Pingping straightened up and said directly, "There was an assassination in the palace last night, and Yan Xiaoyi died. Did you know?"

"Who did it?"

Leng Feibai pretended to be dumb and asked, "Is it Yun Zhilan or Lang Tao?"

"I don't know, because Yan Xiaoyi was struck by lightning when he died."

Chen Pingping looked into Leng Feibai's calm eyes and sighed, "It seems you really don't know?"

Leng Feibai looked around and said calmly, "Of course I don't know, but you and the other person are not very satisfied with this answer. Am I right, Your Majesty?"

As soon as these words fell, Chen Pingping was stunned. He looked around and said, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"

"Ok?"

Leng Feibai raised his eyebrows, "Isn't His Majesty listening to our conversation in the dark?"

"You think too much."

Chen Pingping continued, "Smart people tend to overthink things, but I can tell you that His Majesty would never come to the Inspection Office. Furthermore, you're a Ninth Rank Upper. Even if His Majesty were to hide in the dark, he wouldn't be able to conceal it from you."

"He really managed to hide it from me!"

Leng Feibai's thoughts subsided and he continued, "Okay, let's not talk about this matter for now. Dean Chen asked me to come here. What exactly did he want?"

"I've finished asking questions. If you're okay, you can leave now."

"But I have something to ask, and I need to trouble you, Dean Chen."

Upon hearing this, Chen Pingping smiled and said, "You're quite courageous, daring to come and cause trouble for the Inspection Office. You know, the Inspection Office symbolizes imperial power. If you dare to intervene, you're courting death."

"I know. If I had no other choice, I wouldn't come to you."

Leng Feibai said calmly, "After all, you've tricked Fan Xian and me into going to Northern Qi to send Xiao En back and retrieve Yan Bingyun. Asking you for a favor is not bad, right?"

"What do you mean?"

Chen Pingping's expression changed slightly, and he stared at Leng Feibai intently.

"It's simple. Although Li Yunrui was behind the assassination in Danzhou, you already knew that."

Leng Feibai finished speaking, then stood up and said, "After all, the whole thing you did was full of loopholes. If I can't guess anything, I'd be a real idiot."

"Appreciate further details!"

Looking at Chen Pingping's expression, Leng Feibai stood up and said, "Let's deal with the traitor who's colluding with Li Yunrui first. If you need my help, have Fan Xian pass the message to me."

After saying that, Leng Feibai walked with great speed and left the Inspection Institute quickly.
