I am gradually omniscient in the heavens

And among the black cavalry team, there was a carriage among them.

When Wang Qinian saw the carriage, he said happily, "The principal is back."

Chapter 166

Then, a wheelchair was pushed out of the carriage, and a middle-aged man in his 40s sat on the wheelchair.

Seeing the reactions of Yan Ruohai and Zhu Ge, this person should be Chen Pingping, the dean of the Inspection Institute.

Fan Xian saw Chen Pingping sitting in a wheelchair, and asked Wang Qinian, "What happened to his leg?"

Immediately, Wang Qinian explained that it turned out that more than ten years ago, Chen Pingping led the black cavalry into the territory of Northern Qi, ran for thousands of miles, and captured the number one devil in Northern Qi, Xiao En.

But also because of this operation, he was injured and could only rely on a wheelchair afterwards.

Chen Pingping was pushed into the inspection institute.

The prince wanted to force his way in, holding a sword in his hand, and rushed inward.

But then, Wang Qinian's actions made Fan Xian understand something.

Wang Qinian took out a dagger from his pocket and threw it at the doorpost of the Inspection Institute.

And the prince just arrived in front of the inspection courtyard at this time, the dagger flew past the prince and nailed it to the pillar.

Chen Pingping saw the dagger and said softly, "Protect the prince."

As soon as Chen Pingping finished speaking, two black knights came up, dragged the prince down and went down.

The prince doesn't have any martial arts, so how can he be the opponent of these black knights who are at least seventh rank, so he can only let the black knights pull him away.

While being dragged away, the prince cursed loudly.

Chen Pingping said flatly: "Assassins assassinate and protect the prince's safety, that's the way of a minister."

After finishing speaking, he was pushed into the inspection institute.

Fan Xian watched Wang Qinian's movements, pointed at Wang Qinian, and was speechless for a long time.

Just as Fan Xian was about to reprimand Wang Qinian, a person came behind Fan Xian. Just as that person was about to pat Fan Xian on the shoulder, Fan Xian felt something and ran away.

Turning around, he saw the shadow he had seen before.

Although Shadow was a little surprised that Fan Xian was able to escape his hand, he didn't take it too seriously and said, "The dean wants to see you."

Afterwards, the three of Fan Xian followed the shadow and entered the inspection institute. The shadow stopped Teng Zijing and only let Wang Qinian and Fan Xian go in.

Wang Qinian pushed Chen Pingping's wheelchair, and Fan Xian walked beside him.

Fan Xian said as he walked, "I've been thinking for the past few days, why the black rider came so fast when Si Lili was arrested that day, how did they know our whereabouts? The only ones who know that place are you and me. , Teng Zijing and my master, my master is impossible, the rest is you and Teng Zijing.

And just now, Teng Zijing was stopped outside, only you and I came in to see the dean, and with that knife, I finally understood. "

Chen Pingping waved her hand, and Wang Qinian stopped when she saw this.

I heard Wang Qinian say: "It is indeed the dean who asked me to stay by your side."

Fan Xian then asked, "You were the one who tipped off the Black Knight, right?"

Hearing this, Wang Qinian pointed to a dog in the yard and said, "It is the closest to me and the dean."

Chen Pingping laughed when she heard the words, and said, "Go down, I'll tell him."

Chen Pingping fed the dog something, and then asked Fan Xian to push herself in.

Hearing this, Fan Xian pushed Chen Pingping into the room, and Fan Xian pulled up the curtains.

Chen Pingping just looked at Fan Xian firmly.

Then he told Fan Xian something about Fan Xian's mother.Fan Xian pretended not to know anything.

Finally, he suddenly asked, "Wu Zhu is in the capital."

Fan Xian didn't answer, but thought of Zhang Hao's words, and said, "My master said, I can trust you. Can I trust you?"

When Chen Pingping heard this, she became interested and asked, "Your master? Zhang Hao?"

Fan Xian nodded, but did not speak.

Chen Pingping said: "I asked someone to check his information, but they couldn't find anything. He suddenly appeared on the way to Danzhou more than ten years ago. Then he lay on the bed for ten years. He woke up more than eight years ago. Is he a grand master?"

Fan Xian chose to listen to Zhang Hao, but he also had some reservations. He replied, "No? The great master should not be able to live well without eating or drinking for more than ten years. I don't know his realm."

When Chen Pingping heard the words, she thought a lot, and thought that Zhang Hao might be similar to Wuzhu, but according to the information obtained by her subordinates, Zhang Hao and Wuzhu are still somewhat different, for example, Zhang Hao can use zhenqi.

Chen Pingping said: "Let's not talk about your master, Lin Gong should be killed by Wu Zhu, right? But it's okay, I will finish the matter of Lin Gong."

Fan Xian didn't say anything. He met Chen Pingping for the first time. Although Zhang Hao said that Chen Pingping could be trusted, Fan Xian still decided to hold back.

Chen Pingping also saw what Fan Xian meant, and didn't care, so she let Fan Xian leave.

When Fan Xian walked to the door, he saw Wang Qinian and Teng Zijing standing and chatting together.

Fan Xian sneered at Wang Qinian for a while, Wang Qinian explained, and finally decided to invite Fan Xian to dinner.In order to pray that Fan Xian can forgive himself.

A group of three came to a noodle restaurant, and Wang Qinian paid for his and Fan Xian's meals.

After a while, the boss served two bowls of noodles, and Teng Zijing couldn't help asking: "No, I said Wang Qinian, you treat me to dinner, what's the situation when you pull me down?"

Wang Qinian heard the words and said: "I invited Mr. Fan to dinner, but I didn't invite you. If you insist on coming, then you have to pay for it yourself."

Hearing this, both Fan Xian and Teng Zijing felt a little helpless. In the end, Teng Zijing bought a bowl of noodles with his own money and started eating.

The three of them were eating noodles when Fan Sizhe came over. As soon as Fan Sizhe came, he asked if the bookstore was still open.

Fan Xian was a little surprised, and said, "Open it, why not open it?"

When Fan Sizhe heard this, he sized it up and said, "Then why don't you hurry up and write a book, have you been off for a long time?"

Fan Xian said with a smile: "It's okay, I have a manuscript on file, and I will continue to write after I finish my busy time."

While Fan Xian and Fan Sizhe were chatting.

Eunuch Hou came over on horseback, and when he saw Fan Xian, he said, "Mr. Fan, His Majesty has summoned you very urgently."

Fan Xian pointed to the noodle bowl and said, "Then I haven't finished eating this noodle yet."

When Eunuch Hou heard the words, he was a little speechless, and hurriedly said: "There is no delay, I will wait for you alone now."

Hearing this, Fan Xian was a little curious, what did Emperor Qing want from him?

Immediately told Fan Sizhe to tell him to go home and find Zhang Hao.

Afterwards, Fan Xian followed Eunuch Hou into the palace, and Fan Sizhe didn't dare to delay, so he hurried home to find Zhang Hao.

As soon as he entered the yard, he shouted: "Master, Master, Fan Xian asked me to come to you. What's the matter? He didn't say anything."

Zhang Hao put down the book in his hand and said, "No problem, don't worry."

Then, looking at Fan Sizhe, he said, "You have time to find Fan Xian, have you finished memorizing the book?"

Hearing this, Fan Sizhe immediately beamed and said, "Of course I've finished memorizing it. If you don't believe me, Master, test me."

Chapter 167 Confrontation in front of the palace

Fan Xian followed Hou Gonggong into the palace, where he met his future father-in-law Lin Ruofu.

Hurry up and salute: "Mr. Lin!"

Lin Ruofu has already recognized Fan Xian at this time, so it is good for Fan Xian to call himself the uncle.

Fan Xian had no objection, and took advantage of the opportunity to call Shi Bo.

Lin Ruofu said: "Your Majesty summoned him, saying that it was related to Gong'er's death. If we confront each other in front of the hall, there is no way out."

After Eunuch Hou went in to report to Emperor Qing, he came out to invite Fan Xian and Lin Ruofu into the palace.

Fan Xian thought a lot in an instant.

Afterwards, following the pace of Eunuch Hou, he entered the hall.

Seeing that the crown prince and the second prince were there, Emperor Qing asked someone to move a chair for Lin Ruofu.

Then he said: "Everyone is here, you are here in front of each other and speak clearly."

After speaking, Emperor Qing left, the crown prince walked up to Lin Ruofu and saluted, Lin Ruofu hurriedly returned the salute.

After seeing the ceremony, the prince said: "The Jiancha Yuan has seen the corpse, Lin Gong died with a master's fast sword, and the only swordsman in Beijing who uses swords is Xie Bi'an, a disciple of the second elder brother, who has this sword skill."

Lin Ruofu looked at the prince and said, "What does the prince mean?"

The second prince didn't wait for Lin Ruofu to finish speaking, and said, "The prince means that I am the murderer who killed Lin Gong."

Lin Ruofu knew that although the second prince and Lin Gong didn't have a good relationship, they probably wouldn't kill him, but he followed the prince's words and asked, "Is your highness the murderer?"

The second prince said directly, "You have to ask Fan Xian about that."

Hearing this, Lin Ruofu and the prince looked at Fan Xian suspiciously.

Hearing this, Fan Xian hurried to the Second Prince's side: "Second Highness, what does this have to do with me?"

The second prince said: "At the end of the day when Lin Gong was killed, Fan Xian and I ran into each other on the street and chatted. Xie Bi'an was at the side at that time. Let's be a circumstantial evidence."

Upon hearing this, the crown prince asked Fan Xian, "Is there such a thing?"

Fan Xian nodded and said, "That's true."

The second prince went on to say: "The Inspection Institute has already confirmed that Lin Gong died in Sishi, so Xie Bi'an should not be able to drive out of the city in time to commit murder.

And there is a saying, what the crown prince said is not right, Fan Xian is also a ninth-rank master, and as far as I know, a few days ago, when he went to the Royal Courtyard, he easily subdued Lin Gong and his subordinates.

Many people should know what happened that day.That day when Fan Xian went to the Royal Courtyard, the prince's people should also know about it, right? "

Before Fan Xian could speak, the Crown Prince said, "There is another possibility. Fan Xian cooperated with you and Xie Bi'an to assassinate Lin Gong. At this time, you are lying and cheating to get rid of the relationship."

Hearing the words, the second prince stood up and asked, "Absurd, why did I kill Lin Gong, and why did Fan Xian kill Lin Gong?"

The prince immediately said: "Lin Gong planned the Niulan Street assassination, Fan Xian has a grudge against him."

Upon hearing this, Fan Xian asked excitedly, "What did you say? Lin Gong planned the Niulan Street assassination? I didn't know about it."

The second prince then said: "The crown prince wants to convict the courtier, then you and I will be wronged, bear with it."

The prince heard the words and said: "According to what you said, who can have such sword skills except Xie Bi'an and Fan Xian?"

The second prince choked: "It's not difficult to raise an unknown sword master?"

Hearing this, the prince asked angrily, "Who are you alluding to?"

The second prince answered, "That's all for reasoning."

Seeing the smell of gunpowder on the scene getting stronger and stronger, Fan Xian stepped aside, while Lin Ruofu drank tea calmly, watching the quarrel between the crown prince and the second prince.

At this moment, Emperor Qing's voice sounded.

"Are you noisy enough?"

Everyone looked at Emperor Qing and hurriedly saluted.

Seeing this, Emperor Qing said, "Xiang Lin, you are the master of suffering, what do you mean?"

Lin Ruofu stood up and said, "In Lin's opinion, Chen Pingping should be the one to blame."

Hearing this, everyone present was very surprised. What do you mean by this?

Seeing Lin Ruofu continue to say: "The Inspection Institute has the responsibility to supervise the capital, and the real culprit of the dog's murder has not been found until today. It can be seen that Chen Pingping's control is not strict, and it is not good for things."

Emperor Qing nodded when he heard the words, and felt that it made sense, so he asked Eunuch Hou to announce the decree and let Chen Pingping enter the palace to face the saint.

After waiting for a while, Chen Pingping came over.

Eunuch Hou pushed Chen Pingping's wheelchair into the hall.

When Chen Pingping saw the people in the hall, she knew what was going on.

When Emperor Qing saw Chen Pingping coming in, he reprimanded: "Chen Pingping, are you guilty?"

Chen Pingping was very puzzled: "What is your crime?"

Afterwards, Emperor Qing explained the matter, and Chen Pingping immediately had a clear idea of ​​the whole story.

Chen Pingping saluted and said, "Return to Your Majesty, the murderer has been found out."

Emperor Qing seemed surprised by these words, but Fan Xian had already discovered that Emperor Qing seemed to know everything.
