Chapter 73 National War
Fan You and Ye Linger returned to the city, but they were stopped by Eunuch Hou as soon as they entered the city gate.

Eunuch Hou: "Fan Tisi, Your Majesty welcomes you."

When Fan You in the carriage heard Hou Gonggong's familiar voice, he felt a little unhappy.

"What? Please? Didn't you just meet two days ago?"

Eunuch Hou said anxiously: "Hey, Mr. Fan, let's not think about these things at this time, hurry up and follow me, you are the only one missing."

Fan You: "What do you mean I'm the only one missing? Could there be someone else?"

Eunuch Hou glanced around first, then walked to the window next to the carriage.

"His Royal Highness, Second Prince, Prime Minister Lin, and Fan Xian are all here!"

Fan You's eyes suddenly became sharper, he only thought about the matter of the Ye family, but forgot that Lin Gong had been killed by Wu Zhu yesterday.

"Eunuch Hou, let's set off now!"

Inside the carriage

Fan You said to Ye Ling'er: "You go to Wan'er first, and when I come back, go visit Wan'er with Fan Xian."

Ye Linger: "Yes."

At this time, in the palace
Emperor Qing and Lin Ruofu stood together, Lin Ruofu was full of tears and heartbroken.

Emperor Qing had a caring expression on his face, Prince Li Chengqian and Second Prince Li Chengze were kneeling on the ground beside him, and Fan Xian stood aside as if nothing had happened.

The prince who was kneeling on the ground only had anger and unwillingness on his face. Li Chengze was very calm and nothing could be found out about him, so he was not afraid.

And even if they find out, Li Chengze is not afraid, he still has the cards in his hand.

After Emperor Qing comforted Lin Ruofu, he looked coldly at the two on the ground, and glanced at Fan Xian from the corner of his eye.

Emperor Qing said angrily: "Hmph! You are standing there, you feel very comfortable, right?"

Fan Xian was taken aback when he heard the words, and then said, "Then shall I kneel down for you?"

Emperor Qing: "Hmph! Wait a minute, after Fan You arrives, things will come to an end."

Eunuch Hong: "Your Majesty, Fan You, Commissioner of the Inspection Institute, has arrived."

Emperor Qing: "Xuan!"

Behind Emperor Qing's palace, there is a lake, it's very big!
Fan You almost laughed when he saw Fan Xian standing behind the prince and second prince who were kneeling on the ground, as if he was a normal person.

Emperor Qing glanced at Fan You, pointed at Lin Ruofu and said, "After Si Gu Jian arrived at your Fan residence that day, tell me what happened."

"Fan You is the commissioner of the Inspection Institute. When Chen Pingping is away, he is responsible for many matters of the Inspection Institute. Therefore, he is responsible for Lin Gong's death!"

When Fan You heard that Emperor Qing had charged him with a crime so quickly, he was speechless and admirable at the same time.

Fan You thought in his heart: If you don't give a reasonable answer, I'm afraid I've achieved my position as the chief executive today.

Fan You saluted and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"After Si Gu Jian arrived that day, he met Xie Bi'an, a swordsman under the Second Prince's sect, near the Fan Mansion. The two seemed to have talked about something, but it was not pleasant afterwards."

"Subsequently, Si Gu Jian entered the Fan residence, thanks to the inner guard Yan Xiaoyi and Ying Ying, as well as the dean's black horse."

"The 21 of us teamed up to hold back Si Gu Jian. This process took about a quarter of an hour."

After hearing this, Emperor Qing continued to ask: "What time was that? When did Si Gu Jian leave?"

Fan You: "When Si Gu Jian came that day, the sun was rising and it was noon."

Emperor Qing nodded.

"Fan You, Lin Gong died around noon, right?"

Fan You plopped and knelt down.

"I report to Your Majesty, I'm guilty! I didn't know about the death of the Second Young Master. I repelled the Sigu sword yesterday. I was so happy in my heart that I forgot the identity of the commissioner of the Appraisal Institute."

"Besides, the minister was injured in the fight with that Sigu sword, so I didn't ask about the past two days of the inspection institute, and everything was handled by the dean."

After thinking about it for a while, Fan You still summoned the old fox Chen Pingping to talk to Emperor Qing. Fan You's nerves were tense every second, and he dared not relax in the slightest.

Fan You is still too young to deal with such an old fox.

Emperor Qing looked at Fan You, unknowingly becoming a little displeased, but in front of so many people, he was not easy to get angry, so he could only pass on Chen Pingping.

"Come on, pass on Chen Pingping!"

Afterwards, the scene fell into embarrassment again, and Emperor Qing left, leaving a group of people kneeling there.

After watching Emperor Qing leave, Fan Xian ran to Fan You's side cautiously.

"Brother, what's the matter with you? What is this?"

Fan You didn't answer, but just gave Fan Xian a look. Emperor Qing is a great master, no matter how soft Fan Xian's voice is, the two of them talking here can still reach Emperor Qing's ears.

Emperor Qing is a very powerful person, he is very smart, Fan You can be sure that Emperor Qing knew that Lin Gong was killed by Wu Zhu, but he couldn't say it out, and he didn't dare.

Just now Fan You said so much just to throw the blame on Si Gu Jian.

The time coincided, and there was a reason, as long as Si Gu Jian did the killing of Fan You and Chen Pingping, no one would doubt it except Emperor Qing.

Fan Xian had a lot of doubts in his heart, and he was shocked by Lin Gong's death.

Lin Gong is Wan'er's elder brother. He went to Lin Xiangfu early this morning and met Wan'er.

Lin Wan'er already knew about Lin Gong's death, but Lin Ruofu didn't tell Wan'er that Lin Gong died in his room.

The moment Fan Xian saw Lin Wan'er, his heart almost broke. Lin Wan'er, who was already weak, almost collapsed when she knew her brother was dead.

Now, those who want to know the truth are not only the Lin family and the prince, but also Fan Xian, who wants to give Lin Wan'er an explanation.

After a while, Eunuch Hong pushed Chen Pingping in.

Before the wheelchair was parked, Emperor Qing walked in aggressively.

"Chen Pingping!"

Chen Pingping: "Your Majesty."

Emperor Qing: "Are you convicted?"

Chen Pingping said with an expression of innocence on my face; "Chen, what is the crime?"

Emperor Qing squinted his eyes and asked: "The prime minister's son was killed, and you, as the head of the first branch of the Inspection Institute, have not found the murderer until now, so you must bear the blame!"

Chen Pingping lowered her head and replied, "Your Majesty, the murderer has been found!"

Emperor Qing: "Have you found it? Good! In front of Lin Xianghe and the others, let's talk carefully, who is the murderer!"

Fan You took this opportunity to stand up, and pushed Chen Pingping to the front of Lin Xiang.

Chen Pingping: "Miss Lin, my condolences!"

Lin Ruofu hurriedly asked: "Who is the murderer?!"

Chen Pingping: "Dongyi City, look around the sword!"

This answer, when Emperor Qing asked Fan You Si Gu Jian, everyone already had the answer in their hearts, but at this moment Chen Pingping said it herself, it is still unbelievable.

Lin Ruofu was taken aback.

"Grandmaster?"

Li Chengqian thought for a while, and immediately denied it.

"Si Gu Jian is a great master, why did he kill Lin Gong?"

Chen Pingping turned her head, squinted her eyes and said: "There is such a fast sword in this world, who else can it be besides the Grand Master?!"

"In an instant, kill more than a dozen seventh-rank masters. There are no more than three people in the capital who have this ability."

"And all three of them had evidence of their alibi that day, only Si Gu Jian!"

"Lin Gong's assassination on Niulan Street can be said to have indirectly killed Si Gu Jian's little apprentice."

"There is also Yun Zhilan, who was caught by Fan You after breaking into Fan's house, and was shot dead by Fan You on the spot after his inferior skills, that's nothing to say."

"As we all know, Si Gu Jian was a sword idiot, and Fan You killed Yun Zhilan and his little apprentice openly and aboveboard."

"He said he wanted to wash Fan's house with blood, but he underestimated the strength of our country, Qing, and even more so, Your Majesty!"

"There are 21 ninth-rank masters, even if it is Si Gu Jian, he will have to pay a huge price to kill these people. Although Si Gu Jian is a sword idiot, he is not stupid."

"I can't make the mistake of throwing my life in the capital for the sake of two apprentices, so I can only leave."

"However, he won't be reconciled to just coming here for nothing, so the second son Lin Gong and Bei Qi Guo who planned the assassination on Niulan Street behind the scenes are the targets of Si Gu Jian's resentment."

After Chen Pingping finished speaking, Li Chengqian was completely speechless.

Lin Ruofu's face had already turned livid. If Lin Gong was really killed by Si Gu Jian, he might not have the chance to take revenge in this life.

Chen Pingping's last sentence was intended for Emperor Qing to hear.

It was a matter of time before the Qing Kingdom would go to war with the Northern Qi Kingdom, but there was a lack of a good opportunity, and now, it was this opportunity.

Emperor Qing: "Wait, what does this have to do with Northern Qi?"

Chen Pingping: "Your Majesty, the Second Young Master was able to attack Fan Xian and Fan You because he was tricked by spies."

"Northern Qi disturbed the situation in the capital, and implicated Si Gu Jian at this time. Their methods are extremely vicious!"

"My lord, I implore Your Majesty to issue an order to raise troops and choose a day to conquer Northern Qi!"

Emperor Qing looked at Chen Pingping with a look of disbelief, as if he had never thought of going to war.

"Rise up the army?"

"Rise up troops? Don't act rashly."

Emperor Qing seemed to be hesitating, and walked away in place, muttering in his mouth, as if he couldn't sit down and make a decision.

In an instant, Emperor Qing saw Lin Ruofu, as if seeing the backbone.

"Lin Xiang, what do you think?"

Lin Ruofu still couldn't hear it. Emperor Qing was going to use Lin Gong's death as a reason for the two countries to go to war. At this time, who killed Lin Gong was no longer important.

Lin Ruofu knelt down and put his face on the ground.

"My lord! Please, Your Majesty, seek justice for my dead son!"

Emperor Qing seemed to sit down and make a decision.

"Immediately summon Dongyi City to hand over the murderer, as for Northern Qi State"

"Northern Qi, I never go to the blood blade, but they bully people too much! Every step of the way is pressing! Let's fight this battle!"

Lin Ruofu stood up slowly, his face stiffened.

Emperor Qing supported Lin Ruofu with both hands: "Prime Minister Lin is the head of all officials, and I will definitely give him justice!"

"I will use the power of a country to attack the unrighteous!"

Lin Ruofu: "I understand, sir."
