Shadow replied, "The dean was worried you might be in danger, so he asked me to escort you!"

After listening to this, Wang Qinian sighed and said, "Then you are too late!"

"What do you mean?"

"The assassin has been here!"

"Have you been here?" Shadow stepped forward and asked hurriedly, "How are you guys? Are you all okay?"

"We're fine!" Wang Qinian replied with a scowl. "It's just that we killed someone!"

Shadow asked doubtfully, "What's the big deal about killing someone? Is this your first time?"

"It's not the first time, but the person we killed was Lin Gong!"

"Lin Gong?" Shadow pondered for a long time, but couldn't react. "Who is Lin Gong?"

Wang Qinian was speechless, "You've forgotten Lin Gong? Prime Minister Lin's son! Lin Wan'er's biological brother!"

“!!!” The face under the shadow mask changed instantly!

He immediately turned around to check the scene.

Then he saw the dejected Fan Xian and the dead Lin Gong lying on the ground!

There was no need for Wang Qinian to say anything more, Shadow immediately knew that something big had happened!

If Fan Xian kills Lin Gong, it will trigger a series of chain reactions.

Shadow didn't have time to think before he said, "Hurry up and get on your horses. Follow me to see the dean!"

"Is the dean nearby?" Wang Qinian asked.

"It's not far from here, get on your horse first! Quick!"

Wang Qinian did not dare to delay and hurried to help Fan Xian.

Fan Xian was still a little dazed when he was woken up, and then when he heard that he was going to meet Dean Chen, Fan Xian didn't think much about it, nodded, and got on the horse.

.......

The Black Knights came and went in a hurry.

Dean Chen is indeed not far from here. After all, we are all going back to Kyoto, and the route we take is similar.

The group ran for more than an hour.

It was already past midnight when they finally found Dean Chen's Black Cavalry.

Chen Pingping led the Black Cavalry and was now setting up camp on the open space beside the official road.

And Dean Chen has fallen asleep at this moment.

In the tent, Chen Pingping was awakened by the people around him. When he heard that Shadow had returned, Chen Pingping immediately knew that something had happened.

Chen Pingping got up and called Shadow in.

"What happened?" Chen Pingping asked.

Shadow didn't waste any words and said directly, "Lin Gong, the son of Prime Minister Lin, tried to assassinate Fan Xian late at night, but was killed in return!"

Hearing this, Chen Pingping's eyes instantly turned sharply towards Shadow, and he unconsciously exerted more force on the wheelchair.

"Tell me clearly, who killed Lin Gong?"

"I don't know!" Shadow replied, "Wang Qinian said he killed him, but Fan Xian didn't say a word the whole way and his face looked very ugly. I feel that Shadow must have been killed by Fan Xian!"

After listening to this, Chen Pingping was silent for a while before asking again, "Where are they?"

"I brought them back, they're outside right now!"

"Call Wang Qinian in first. As for Fan Xian... take him down and let him calm down!"

"Yes!"

Shadow nodded and turned to leave.

After a while, Wang Qinian crawled into the tent with a shy look on his face!

"Dean...Qi Nian greets the dean!"

Wang Qinian and Dean Chen are very familiar with each other.

Even Wang Qinian himself said that he and Zong Zhui were the closest to Dean Chen, and Zong Zhui was a mastiff!

So when he saw Dean Chen again, Wang Qinian felt very guilty.

One reason is because of Li Chengyuan’s matter!

The second reason is because I didn’t take good care of Fan Xian!

At this moment, Wang Qinian is like a poor student who failed the exam and went home to see his parents!

Dean Chen didn't notice anything wrong with Wang Qinian, because Wang Qinian had always been like this...

Dean Chen didn't waste any words and asked directly: "What's going on?"

Wang Qinian looked up at Dean Chen, then immediately lowered his head, feeling somewhat guilty, and asked, "What are you asking about?"

"What do you say?"

"No, Dean, there have been so many things happening recently that I don't know where to start!"

"Then start from the beginning!"

"From the beginning?" Wang Qinian blurted out without thinking: "Then this matter has to start from last year!"

"Hmm?" Chen Pingping suddenly looked at Wang Qinian, his eyes sharp again. "Last year, last year, you knew Fan Xian?"

Wang Qinian slapped his mouth in frustration.

As expected, His Highness guessed it right.

The dean hasn’t asked anything yet!

He let it slip himself!

In fact, it was mainly because Li Chengyuan left him a way out, so that Wang Qinian would not want to tell the truth.

Even if Li Chengyuan warned him not to let the secret slip, Wang Qinian would definitely not be able to hide it from Chen Pingping's interrogation, but he would not be exposed so quickly!

Looking at Wang Qinian who looked guilty, Chen Pingping showed a half-smile.

"Qinian! It seems you've made quite a bit of progress after not seeing you for a few months!"

After hearing what Chen Pingping said, Wang Qinian knew he could no longer hide the truth. He immediately said with a sad face, "Come on, Dean, can't I tell you everything? Please don't look at me like that, I'm scared!"

"Then say it quickly!"

Wang Qinian said awkwardly, "Um, Dean...can I sit down and talk? My legs are a little weak!"

Chen Pingping was speechless for a while, but he was still tolerant of Wang Qinian.

"sit down!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Qinian hurriedly found a stool and sat down.

After sitting down, I suddenly felt much more at ease and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Chen Pingping looked at Wang Qinian and asked in a deep voice, "Tell me, how did you meet Fan Xian last year?"

"Ah? Fan Xian?" Wang Qinian hurriedly shook his head and said, "Dean, I'm not talking about 1.3 Fan Xian, I'm talking about the Third Prince!"

"Who?" Chen Pingping's eyes grew sharp for the third time, and he asked in a serious tone, "Tell me clearly, who are you talking about?"

Wang Qinian hurriedly said, "Your Highness, that is the Third Prince Li Chengyuan!"

Chen Pingping gripped the wheelchair even tighter. It was obvious that this was something beyond his expectations.

After a moment's silence, Chen Pingping looked at Wang Qinian and said softly, "Don't be impatient. Talk slowly and explain everything clearly! Don't miss any details!"

"Okay!" Wang Qinian nodded, and just as he was about to open his mouth, he suddenly said, "By the way, Dean, there's no one outside your tent, right? The Third Prince specifically told me that I can only tell you about this!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Pingping reached out to stop Wang Qinian.

Then he spoke loudly, called a guard in, and ordered him to keep all the guards ten meters away, and no one should be around!

Afterwards, he asked Wang Qinian to move closer to his ear and instructed, "You can speak now, but keep your voice down!"

"Yes!" Wang Qinian sat on a small stool, leaned close to Dean Chen's ear, and whispered slowly, "Last winter, I was selling the Third Prince's pirated copy of Journey to the West in the alley, and he caught me red-handed..."

Chapter 97 Wang Qinian's confession! Chen Pingping's surprise!

In the wild near Kyoto.

The dim light in the tent swayed in the wind.

At the innermost part of the tent, Chen Pingping had already sat back on the bed, leaning against the back of the bed, listening carefully to what Wang Qinian was saying in his ear.

"That night, I hesitated for a long time, but finally went to the Prince's Mansion.

I went there with the intention of dying!

Who knew that after I arrived there, His Highness the Third would not only treat me to delicious food and drinks, but would also enthusiastically want to recruit me!

When I heard this, I immediately refused it outright!

I am your confidant, Dean. How can I rely on others?

I said I am from the Inspection Institute, and you are a prince. There cannot be any intersection between us. You have to respect yourself!

Dean, you have to believe me, you know me well!

I rejected the Third Prince in very harsh terms at that time!"

Wang Qinian said it very seriously!

In the end, even he himself believed it.

After listening to this, Chen Pingping simply nodded without comment and said, "And then?"

"Then?" Wang Qinian lowered his head and chuckled, "Then His Majesty the Third Prince told me that he only wanted me to do things for him and it had nothing to do with the Inspection Office.

He would never ask me or let me do anything related to the Inspection Office.

The most important thing is, he said I can come and go freely, and if one day I don’t want to do it anymore, I can leave at any time!
