Daqing: Reborn Prince, intercepting Si Lili at the beginning

In this way, it would be very easy for Fan Xian to escape punishment.

This might be the way Chen Pingping thought of for Fan Xian to escape.

This method is simple and crude, but very effective.

But this would also completely offend Lin Ruofu.

I guess Lin Ruofu is feeling sad and angry at this moment?

Li Chengyuan sighed secretly.

If it weren't for Wu Zhu, he would never have come tonight.

Now is really not the best time to negotiate!

But now that we are here, there is no reason to retreat. Let’s go down and take a look first!

Li Chengyuan looked around and found that there was no one in the yard. He then came to the outside of the study alone. Qingniao stayed on the roof to help Li Chengyuan be on guard to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

...

"Boom boom boom!"

Li Chengyuan knocked on the door gently.

After a while, a low voice was heard from the room.

"Who?"

Li Chengyuan listened and found that there was indeed only one person breathing inside. There was no one else hiding around. Then he said softly, "Li Chengyuan is visiting late at night. I hope Minister Lin will take the time to see you!"

After the words fell, there was silence in the room for a moment, and then the door was suddenly opened.

Li Chengyuan looked closely and saw that it was Lin Ruofu who opened the door.

As the head of the civil servants, Lin Ruofu exudes a gentle and calm temperament. His eyes are as calm as water, yet extremely sharp. Just by looking at each other, it seems as if he can see through people's hearts.

At this moment, Prime Minister Lin still looked unperturbed by fame or disgrace. Only from his dark red eyes could one read a hint of deep sadness.

The first time he saw Lin Ruofu, Li Chengyuan deeply understood what it meant to "remain calm even when faced with a collapse of Mount Tai"!

Lin Ruofu, who was so calm and composed, really satisfied all of Li Chengyuan's imaginations of a prime minister!

This is the true temperament of a prime minister!

Li Chengyuan sighed, but Lin Ruofu was a little confused.

Lin Ruofu couldn't understand why Li Chengyuan, who had never had any contact with him, came to see him?

And you're visiting late at night?

Could it be... that he is trying to win over the throne?

If this is the case, then isn't the Third Prince too reckless?

Lin Ruofu had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but there was no emotion on his face, and he bowed to Li Chengyuan immediately.

"This old minister greets His Highness!"

Li Chengyuan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Minister Lin, I'm visiting you late at night, and this is a secret meeting. You don't have to be polite!"

After saying that, Li Chengyuan went into the house and closed the door.

Lin Ruofu stared at Li Chengyuan for a moment. He should have let Li Chengyuan into the house, but he didn't. Instead, he asked directly, somewhat impolitely, "Your Highness, why did you come here so late at night? I wonder what important matter is there?"

Li Chengyuan knew that Lin Ruofu might have misunderstood, so he said directly: "Don't worry, Minister Lin, I came here this time for a private matter. It concerns your son Lin Gong and has nothing to do with government affairs!"

When Lin Ruofu heard Lin Gong's name, his expression instantly tightened and his eyes became sharp.

But after a moment, Lin Ruofu calmed down, stepped aside, and finally said, "Your Highness, please come in!"

Li Chengyuan nodded, then followed Lin Ruofu into the study.

Afterwards, they sat down.

Visiting late at night was already rude, so Li Chengyuan omitted the formalities and, after sitting down, got straight to the point: "Minister Lin, let's not mince words. I'm here this time because of the Lin Gong assassination case!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruofu's hand holding the tea trembled slightly, and then he asked calmly, as if he didn't care at all, "What advice does Your Highness have?"

Li Chengyuan didn't keep anyone in suspense and immediately revealed the shocking news. He said:

"I guess Minister Lin is still worried about Master Lin's life or death?

I can clearly tell Minister Lin that Master Lin is indeed dead, and the murderer is none other than Fan Xian!

"Blah!" After hearing this, Lin Xiang finally couldn't suppress the surging emotions in his heart anymore, and the teacup in his hand fell onto the table.

In fact, when the news of the case came out from Kyoto Prefecture in the morning, Prime Minister Lin had already guessed that Lin Gong was probably in great danger.

Although he had never seen the guards who reported the case, they might not even be Lin Gong's guards.

But the more this happened, the more Prime Minister Lin suspected that Lin Gong had met with an accident.

Because Prime Minister Lin knew very well that if Lin Gong had not died, no one would dare to spread such rumors!

After all, Lin Ruofu is not a pushover!

If this is a rumor, wouldn't it be a blatant provocation to the prime minister of the time?

No one dares to do this kind of thing!

So since the case has been reported, regardless of the specific circumstances, one thing is certain, that Lin Gong is definitely dead.

Because of this, Lin Ruofu did not eat or drink for the entire day and was immersed in extreme sadness.

The reason why there is no ancestral hall in the Lin Mansion is because Lin Gong’s body has not been found yet.

Lin Ruofu was still waiting for a lucky hope.

What if!

What if someone really was playing a trick on him?

Lin Ruofu had been holding on to this expectation all day, and at this moment he really hoped that someone was playing a trick on him.

But now, Li Chengyuan's words made Lin Ruofu, who had been hanging in the air for a whole day, completely dead!

No crying, no losing composure or breaking down.

Lin Ruofu just slowly closed his eyes, and two lines of tears slowly flowed out of his eyes.

Lin Ruofu clearly didn't cry out loud, but Li Chengyuan, who was sitting opposite him, felt a surge of sadness.

That is the silent pain of losing a child!

Li Chengyuan sighed.

To be honest, he now really regretted the impulsive decision he made in Chen Yuan just now.

He really shouldn't have come tonight!

But unfortunately, he has already come and now he can't leave even if he wants to.

Lin Ruofu calmed down for a long time before he forced himself to suppress the grief in his heart.

Gently wiping the tears from his face, Lin Ruofu slowly opened his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry for losing my composure, Your Highness!"

Li Chengyuan said sternly, "Minister Lin, you are too kind. The greatest sorrow in the world is to see a loved one die young. I understand Minister Lin's feelings, but the person has passed away. Please accept my condolences!"

Lin Ruofu nodded, his expression still expressionless. He spoke slowly, his voice hoarse, "I would like to thank Your Highness for sending this old minister the news. However, I would like to ask Your Highness, how did you know that my son was dead?"

Li Chengyuan shook his head and said, "Please forgive me, Minister Lin, this is a secret, so I cannot tell you the truth!

But I can tell Prime Minister Lin about Mr. Lin’s affairs.

And I can guarantee on my personal reputation that what I said is absolutely true."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruofu's eyes grew solemn. He sat up straight, bowed to Li Chengyuan, and said solemnly, "Your Highness, please tell me the truth about my son's death. I will be grateful to you!"

Li Chengyuan nodded and said slowly, "The cause of this matter can be traced back to the Niulan Street case. I wonder if Minister Lin knows that the mastermind behind the assassination of Fan Xian in Niulan Street was none other than your son, Lin Gong?"

Lin Ruofu's eyes narrowed, then he slowly shook his head and said, "I don't know!"

Li Chengyuan stared at Lin Ruofu closely. He couldn't help but admire Lin Ruofu's skill in cultivating his energy.

In such a sad situation, Lin Ruofu was still able to control his expression perfectly. He is worthy of being the prime minister of the dynasty!

Li Chengyuan didn't think too much about it. If he didn't know, then he didn't know. It didn't matter anyway.

Li Chengyuan nodded and continued, "Since Prime Minister Lin doesn't know, it means this is your son's personal behavior."

He was indeed the mastermind behind the Niulan Street case.

It was he who threatened the Northern Qi spy Si Lili, forcing him to hand over the spy token, and then drove Cheng Jushu to assassinate Fan Xian.

After the assassination attempt on Niulan Street failed, Fan Xian made every effort to investigate the case in order to avenge his personal bodyguard Teng Zijing.

Afterwards, through clues, Fan Xian successfully locked on Si Lili, the breakthrough point of the case.

So Fan Xian left the city overnight to pursue him.

However, for some unknown reason, on the afternoon of the same day that Fan Xian left the city, your son also led his men out of the city overnight.

He found Fan Xian in the wild and then carried out a second assassination attempt.

And this time, your son did it himself.

But he was masked at the time, so Fan Xian didn't know it was him. Fan Xian was forced to fight back and killed your son with a single blow! "

After hearing this, Lin Ruofu's hand holding the cup began to tremble involuntarily. It was obvious that he was extremely uneasy at the moment.

Li Chengyuan paused and continued, "This is how the whole process happened. What I said is absolutely true.

However, there are two details I would like to share with Minister Lin! "

Lin Ruofu stared at Li Chengyuan closely and nodded, "Your Highness, please speak!"

Li Chengyuan took a breath and continued, "First, Fan Xian was assassinated twice, and he was passive both times.

Fan Xian had no prior knowledge of the two assassination attempts!

Moreover, during the second assassination attempt, Fan Xian had no idea that the killer was his son. Otherwise, given the relationship between Fan Xian and Wan'er, he would never have killed him!

Second, the ones who followed your son to attack Fan Xian were not his bodyguards, but four female assassins, whose real identities were Si Gu Jian's disciples.

Two of them were also involved in the Niulan (Qian Qian Zhao) Street assassination, but they were killed by Fan Xian!

These four female assassins went with your son, but they deliberately lagged behind during the sneak attack.
