"Yes!" Si Lili nodded. "Don't doubt it, sir. I'm definitely telling the truth, otherwise I wouldn't be here. Of course, if you ask me something I can't say, I definitely won't answer!"
"Okay!" Fan Xian asked directly with a calm expression. "First question, is the Niulan Street case related to this girl?"
"Yes!" Si Lili said truthfully, "I am a Northern Qi spy, holding a Northern Qi spy token. Cheng Jushu only obeys the token! The day before the Niulan Street case, someone found me and threatened me with my identity, forcing me to hand over the token. I was forced to hand it over, but I didn't know they were going to assassinate you!"
Fan Xian nodded, his expression unchanged.
If that were all, he wouldn't blame Si Lili.
After all, Si Lili was also forced, and he didn't know that those people wanted to kill him.
Theoretically speaking, the Niulan Street case was equivalent to killing someone with a borrowed knife, and Si Lili was just the one who borrowed the knife, and the knife was stolen.
So no matter what, this is not her fault!
Of course, Si Lili was a spy from Northern Qi after all, so Fan Xian didn't have a good impression of her.
After pondering for a moment, Fan Xian said, "Thank you for clearing up my confusion, young lady! My second question is, who forced you to hand over the token?"
Si Lili hesitated for a moment before speaking, "There were three people who forced me to hand over the token. Two of them were female swordsmen I didn't know, and as for the other one..."
"Who is he?" Fan Xian stared into Si Lili's eyes and asked.
Si Lili took a deep breath and finally said truthfully, "He is Lin Gong, the eldest son of the current Prime Minister Lin Ruofu!"
"Impossible!" Fan Xian stood up quickly, his expression somewhat agitated, "Miss Si, do you think I'm easy to fool?"
Si Lili glanced at Fan Xian and curled her lips, saying, "I know you don't believe me, my Lord, but what I said is the truth! Oh, by the way, when we were discussing things that day, someone was peeking out the window and accidentally made a noise that startled us.
Before she ran away, I took a look at her. If I was not mistaken, she should be Ye Ling'er from the Ye family!
If you don't believe me, you can go and ask her for confirmation!"
"!!!"
Fan Xian staggered back a step.
If it was just Si Lili's one-sided statement, he would never believe it.
Because Lin Gong is Lin Wan'er's biological brother.
In other words, the truth behind the Niulan Street assassination case was that his future brother-in-law wanted to kill him!
Fan Xian naturally wouldn't believe such a thing.
He even had reason to suspect that Si Lili was sent by a certain prince with the purpose of sowing discord between him and the Lin family, causing him to break up with Lin Wan'er and then give up the financial power of the inner treasury.
But Si Lili then said that Ye Ling'er also knew the truth of the matter.
This made Fan Xian's confidence begin to waver.
Because Fan Xian knew very well who Ye Ling'er was, and he knew how good the relationship between Ye Ling'er and Lin Wan'er was.
If Ye Ling'er really saw what happened at that time, he would never lie.
Therefore, Fan Xian, who originally firmly believed that Si Lili was lying, now felt a little unconfident.
"Sir!" Wang Qinian stepped forward and supported Fan Xian with some concern.
Fan Xian waved his hand, pushing Wang Qinian away. Then, looking at Si Lili, he said in a deep voice, "Alright, I'll assume that what you say is the truth. Then, my third question: who is the real murderer behind the Niulan Street assassination?"
Si Lili laughed when she heard this and said, "Sir, do you think I would know about this?"
Upon hearing this, Fan Xian persisted, "Young lady, do you not know or do you not want to tell?"
"Of course I don't know!"
"Girl, promise I won't lie!"
"I'm telling the truth!"
Fan Xian was silent for a moment, then stared into Si Lili 870's eyes and suddenly asked, "Is the Niulan Street assassination case related to the Third Prince?"
Si Lili was stunned for a moment, then shook her head. "I don't know about this either!"
Fan Xian laughed angrily.
"Miss Si, do you really think I can't do anything to you?"
Si Lili said calmly, "What do you want, sir?"
Fan Xian said coldly, "You just said that someone would come to rescue you in a quarter of an hour. Now it's only halfway to that quarter of an hour. You said that if I torture you now, will those people you mentioned come?"
Si Lili was a little panicked, but thinking of Li Chengyuan, she still forced herself to speak: "Your Excellency can try. If you think you can beat two ninth-grade masters, then you can do it.
But before you take action, I have to remind you.
If you ask nicely, we won't make things difficult for you.
But if you want to use force, I just need to shout now and someone will rush in immediately.
I cannot guarantee whether you will live or die at that time!"
Fan Xian frowned and sneered, "Two ninth-rank masters? Do you think I'd believe that?"
Si Lili smiled faintly and said, "Then, sir, please proceed. I also want to know if I can call a ninth-grade master!"
"Sir?" Wang Qinian's face was extremely solemn.
The current situation is beyond their plans.
Fan Xian stared at Si Lili, his eyes frighteningly gloomy.
This was the most passive time since I came to Kyoto, except for the assassination on Niulan Street.
But Fan Xian didn't dare to act rashly, because he had encountered a ninth-rank master blocking his way in Kyoto before.
Taking a deep breath, Fan Xian forced himself to calm down and asked Si Lili in a deep voice, "Miss Si, can I ask another question?"
"Of course!" Si Lili nodded and said, "The time hasn't passed yet, you can ask anytime."
"Okay, the fourth question is, what is the relationship between the young lady and the Third Prince?" Fan Xian said in a deep voice.
"What relationship?" Hearing this question, Si Lili felt a little bitter and annoyed. Finally, she sighed and said, "My lord, I can't answer this question either, because I don't know what position I hold in the heart of the Third Prince!"
"In other words, you and the Third Prince weren't just having a one-night stand. You two were in a relationship, right?"
Si Lili nodded and said, "You can say that!"
Fan Xian stared at Si Lili and asked in a deep voice, "Then one last question. Are the people who come to rescue you from the Third Prince's men?"
P.S.: Thank you so much for the tip and urging for more updates. I have nothing to do today, so I will definitely update more and try to finish writing this storyline today!!
Chapter 971253 Li Chengyuan beats his brother! The test Wang Qinian is about to face!
Hearing Fan Xian's question, Si Lili was stunned for a moment, then said noncommittally, "I cannot answer this question. My Lord, you can guess for yourself!"
"No need to guess!" Fan Xian said affirmatively, "Now that Northern Qi and Qing are about to go to war, Northern Qi's ninth-rank masters will definitely not come to Qing, at least not to take you back!"
Therefore, I can’t think of anyone else who could come to pick you up except the Third Prince.
The person behind Lin Gong might be a possibility.
But if the people outside are them, they will not let you come to see me, let alone let you betray Lin Gong.
So you must be the Third Prince's man.
There are only two possibilities why the Third Prince asked you to come and see me.
First, he knows who is behind Niulan Street, so he asked you to tell me the truth behind Niulan Street and use me to complete his new plan of killing someone with a borrowed knife!
Second, he was the one who planned Niulan Street, and Lin Gong was just used by him.
Then the assassination attempt on Niulan Street failed, and he was not willing to accept it.
So he asked you to tell about Lin Gong and continue to target me, hoping that I would become hostile to the Lin family and even give up Wan'er and the financial power of the inner treasury!
Am i right? "
Wang Qinian felt his scalp tingling after listening to this.
Si Lili's eyes were filled with surprise, and she couldn't help but praise him, "Master Fan is indeed very clever. I now believe that you have caught up with me by relying on your intelligence and wisdom!"
Upon hearing this, Fan Xian pressed on, "So I guessed right?"
Si Lili shook her head and said, "I don't know if it's right or not. I can only say that if you want to know the answer, you can only look it up yourself!"
Fan Xian sneered, "But now all the clues are on the girl!"
Si Lili said helplessly: "So what does the Lord want to say?"
Fan Xian glanced outside the door, pulled out the dagger from his leg, and said calmly, "Since we can't reach an agreement through negotiation, then we can only resort to fighting! Time is almost up, are your people coming soon?"
Si Lili glanced outside the door and said uncertainly, "They should be almost there, right?"
"In that case, I'd like to trouble you to come with me to take a look..." Fan Xian said as he was about to step forward and hold Si Lili hostage.
This was the countermeasure Fan Xian had thought of early on.
Since the other party is of the ninth rank, he can only have a chance of winning if he holds Si Lili hostage.
Then, before Fan Xian could finish his words, the door was suddenly kicked open.
Immediately afterwards, two people rushed in one after another.
One person grabbed Si Lili and ran out of the house, while the other ran straight towards Fan Xian.
boom!
Fan Xian bumped fists with the newcomer.
The man took a step back, but Fan Xian took three steps back!
"It's you!"
Fan Xian recognized him instantly. The person coming was none other than the Ninth Grade who had stopped him from going to the General's Mansion on the street last night!
Although this person's face was covered, Fan Xian remembered the familiar aura very clearly!
