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

Chapter 96 Chen Pingping's Mistake
"The Inspection Bureau, independent of the Six Ministries, stood in direct opposition to the Northern Qi Jinyiwei. Yet, such a department actually committed the absurd act of assassinating its own commissioner. This was the first mistake."

Leng Feibai said calmly, "And the person who carried out this mission was not someone from the Sixth Division of the Inspection Bureau, who is famous for assassinations. Instead, it was someone from the Fourth Division, who I had repeatedly targeted in Danzhou. The first mistake was failure to supervise, and the second was sending the wrong person. This was the second mistake."

"continue!"

Chen Pingping's face remained expressionless as Leng Feibai continued, "Fan Xian unexpectedly ran into Fei Jie on his way to Kyoto. Haha, two people heading in different directions unexpectedly met on the way. Even if Fei Jie didn't mean to tell Fan Xian about his trip to Northern Qi, the planning of the route certainly involved your planning as the dean. This is the third flaw."

"After Fan Xian entered Kyoto, he was accused by the Crown Prince of the Red Mansion. The person who sold the Red Mansion was your confidant, Wang Qinian. I don't think Wang Qinian would have the guts to do this without your instructions. This is the fourth flaw."

"And the fifth flaw is this one. You personally said that you guided Li Yunrui to reveal that Fan Xian had met Yan Bingyun. Even if Li Yunrui was forced to leave, Fan Xian would still be under suspicion. To prove his innocence, Fan Xian had no choice but to lead the delegation to Northern Qi to exchange Yan Bingyun and clear his suspicion."

"There's a downside to this!"

Chen Pingping deliberately said, "As long as Fan Xian stubbornly denies everything and plays dumb, he won't have to go to Northern Qi."

"hehe!"

Leng Feibai laughed and said, "Lin Wan'er, as long as His Majesty threatens marriage and asks for an alternative marriage if he doesn't go to Northern Qi, then Fan Xian will have no choice but to comply. After all, he loves Lin Wan'er to death! But this isn't the biggest flaw. The biggest flaw is when the red-armored knights came to Danzhou to take Fan Xian to the capital."

After hearing this, Chen Pingping turned to look at Leng Feibai and said, "Fan Jian wants to bring Fan Xian to Kyoto, but I've always disagreed. How can this be considered a flaw?"

"Foster father said that you and Old Master Fei had always prevented him from bringing Fan Xian to Kyoto. But this time, you suddenly returned home to visit relatives, giving foster father the opportunity to bring Fan Xian to Kyoto. This is your biggest flaw!"

Chen Pingping's lips curled up after hearing this. "But I'm curious. Since you saw through my plan so early on, why didn't you stop Fan Xian? Instead, you watched him jump into the police station."

"It's easy!"

Leng Feibai sighed and said, "As I said before, I can't protect Fan Xian forever. He must learn to grow up on his own. I've been waiting for that fool to see through your plan. But unfortunately, he never did."

"Then what exactly do you want to do by pointing out all this?"

Chen Pingping raised his head and looked ahead. "It won't do you any good to tell me all this."

"Of course I have to confront you!"

Leng Feibai had already made sure that no one was around, so he lowered his head and said, "Compared to letting Fan Xian inherit the Inspection Institute, what you want most is to avenge Ye Qingmei, right? I can help you with that!"

"you help me!"

Chen Pingping's face darkened, and he turned around and said, "Do you know something?"

"How could I possibly know? After all, I was less than nine years old when Ye Qingmei died."

Leng Feibai said calmly, "But I have a way to heal your legs. I can make you stand up again!"

"You can get me back on my feet again!"

Chen Pingping thought of Leng Feibai's previous words, "So you want me to help you complete that task, and then you can help me heal my legs and work with me to find the murderer who killed the young lady."

"Not bad!"

Leng Feibai asked again, "Then Dean Chen, are you willing to cooperate with me?"

"What do you want me to do for you?"

Chen Pingping didn't agree directly, but instead asked Leng Feibai what he was going to do. "After all, it's too difficult to do this without telling His Majesty. I need to prepare early!"

Leng Feibai sighed, understanding. "It's very simple. If Fan Xian and I leave Kyoto, someone will definitely take the opportunity to coerce the people Fan Xian cares about into submission. Of the people Fan Xian cares about, Teng Zijing's entire family is staying in Danzhou, so I don't have to worry too much. Wang Qinian will definitely be going with us this time, and his wife and daughter will inevitably become bait to threaten Fan Xian, so I'll trouble the dean to keep an eye on them. In addition, there are also my adoptive father and the others..."

Chen Pingping laughed after hearing this and said, "You're worrying too much. Fan Jian is going to become the Minister of Revenue after all. No one can easily touch him!"

"I'm not worried about you, godfather, but the others..."

Leng Feibai sighed and said, "My aunt and Ruoruo don't go out on weekdays, so I'm not worried about them. The only problem is Fan Sizhe. Although he has a talent for business, he is too stupid in other aspects. If someone tempts him with money and makes him do something stupid like forcing women into prostitution, Fan Xian and I really don't know what to do." "You think too much!"

Chen Pingping covered his head and said, "Fan Jianzhi's family is extremely strict. Fan Sizhe doesn't have the guts to run a brothel or a casino."

"Don't worry about this, Dean Chen!"

Leng Feibai then said, "How much do you know about the incident where Eunuch Dai from the Vegetarian Inspection Bureau forced women into prostitution?"

Chen Pingping's face darkened after hearing this. "How did you know about the Procuratorate forcing women into prostitution?"

"Of course I have my own secret intelligence network!

Leng Feibai lowered his head and said, "I will rescue those girls soon. When the time comes, I will trouble Dean Chen to help me place those girls."

"This is not difficult!"

Chen Pingping said calmly, "As long as you can find a way to get those girls out of the city, I can naturally hide it from everyone and place them in a safe place."

"Okay, when the time comes, I'll notify you one day in advance!"

After Leng Feibai finished speaking, he continued to ask, "Dean Chen, can you still circulate your true energy?"

"cannot!"

Chen Pingping said, "When Sean crippled my legs, he also crippled my Dantian, and all my strength dissipated. I can no longer cultivate true Qi."

"That'll be troublesome!"

Leng Feibai rubbed his head and said, "Then you just wait for me to come back from Northern Qi. As long as I can master that, not to mention curing your legs, even repairing your lower dantian won't be a difficult task!"

"Oh!"

Chen Pingping asked curiously, "Does the immortal world have such a method?"

"Except for being unable to resurrect the dead, I can revive anyone who is still breathing."

The two chatted like this and returned to Kyoto City. It was already sunset.

Inside the Fan Mansion, Leng Feibai returned to the yard.

But before he could sit down, Fan Jian sent someone to call him over.

"Godfather, you're looking for me!"

As soon as Leng Feibai walked over, he saw Fan Xian standing in the study with a helpless look on his face.

"Fei Bai, there's something Fan Xian wants to ask you!"

Listening to Fan Jian's words, Leng Feibai spoke directly, "If you're asking how to deal with Li Yunrui, then my suggestion is to absolutely not let him go!"

As soon as these words fell, Fan Xian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Dad, I knew that Brother Feibai meant the same thing."

Fan Jian raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but say, "Fei Bai, Li Yunrui has a strong foundation after all. If at this time..."

"Father!"

Leng Feibai advised, "If it were someone else, I might consider asking Fan Xian to explore the option of turning an enemy into a friend. But not Li Yunrui, because of Fan Xian's mother. Li Yunrui and we are sworn enemies, so there's no need to consider reconciliation."
