Chapter 62: Confrontation
Lin Yulu shook his head, "No, Prince Yu's Mansion should be fine."
Now Emperor Longxi only has the Prince Yu's Mansion left. Even if he is furious or suspicious, he will not be ruthless to the Prince Yu's Mansion.
What's more, Emperor Longxi has no other sons now, and there are only a few underage princesses left in the harem, unless he plans to adopt a son or daughter from the royal family.
Moreover, Emperor Longxi was not a fool, so how could he not see the conspiracy behind this?
This was clearly done intentionally, and Emperor Longxi would have seen it.
How could others manipulate an emperor who has held the power of life and death for decades?
Jiang Jinzhou opened the window and looked outside, feeling a little itchy. "Sister, how about I go outside and ask for some information?"
The capital city must be in chaos right now. For some reason, he always had a bad feeling.
Why did the person behind the scenes choose last night? Last night was the auction event at Wangyue Tower.
Waves of martial artists gathered in the capital, and he felt that the person behind the scenes must be planning something else.
"If you want to go, go ahead, but be careful." Lin Yulu said after thinking for a while.
Anyway, she doesn't care much about this matter. As long as it doesn't involve her and Jinzhou, nothing matters.
Jiang Jinzhou was out for a whole day and when he came back he brought back some important news.
"Prince Yu's mansion has been surrounded by the Imperial Guards. Now people are only allowed to enter but not leave." Jiang Jinzhou took a sip of water and continued, "Prince Yu and his three illegitimate sons were taken away by the Imperial Guards. I heard that Emperor Longxi summoned them. Crown Prince Xuan Yun was not taken away because of his health. Prince Yu's mansion is now heavily guarded and ordinary people cannot enter."
"I think that Emperor Longxi took Prince Yu away to protect him and also to show it to the people behind the scenes." Jiang Jinzhou analyzed, and then looked at her with a look of seeking praise.
Lin Yulu looked at him with amusement, "Well, you are awesome, you are the best."
Jiang Jinzhou chuckled, still a little embarrassed, "Sister, I met my nephew, he told you not to worry, he will be fine, but he hopes we can leave the capital as soon as possible."
Lin Yulu nodded. How could the son of heaven's destiny be defeated so easily?
If this were true, Heaven would probably cry.
Jiang Jinzhou put down the teacup and continued, "My nephew also said that the person behind this might target us. If we continue to stay in the capital, we will most likely be targeted by the people from the Supervisory Department."
Lin Yulu shook his head and said, "I'm afraid we can't leave now!"
Jiang Jinzhou was stunned. What does it mean that he can’t leave?
Lin Yulu knocked him in annoyance, "It's really worrying that people who practice cultivation don't have the slightest bit of vigilance."
Jiang Jinzhou looked at her aggrievedly, "Sister!"
"From the moment we entered the capital, someone has been secretly watching us." Lin Yulu explained helplessly, "They didn't take any action, so I just left it alone. Those people are most likely from the Supervision Department. After all, there are many more martial artists in the capital recently."
Jiang Jinzhou opened his mouth wide with an expression of disbelief.
No, he is a master, how could he not notice it? This...
"With your personality, let alone you being a master, even if you are a grand master, I can't detect it." Lin Yulu looked at him with amusement. His vigilance was too low.
Jiang Jinzhou looked at her pitifully, "Sister, you despise me!"
Lin Yulu nodded, and nodded seriously, "Yeah, I really dislike it."
Jiang Jinzhou felt even more aggrieved when he heard this. He just didn't expect it.
Lin Yulu touched his head and said, "Alright, you are already such a grown-up, but you are still acting like a spoiled brat. Go back and have a rest. Those people from the Supervisory Department might come tomorrow."
"Let's go back to the Lin Mansion."
"Um!"
Lin Yulu's words came true.
The next morning, shortly after they finished breakfast, people from the Supervisory Office came to their door.
Lin Yulu knew it as soon as the people from the Supervisory Office arrived.
These people were afraid that they would run away, so the outside of the Lin Mansion was filled with people from the Supervisory Office.
Lin Yulu raised an eyebrow, as if he had expected this, and walked calmly towards the door, "Let's go out and take a look."
Jiang Jinzhou nodded, held the Xuanguan Sword tightly in his hand, and followed her closely.
As soon as Li Liangyu arrived, he brought the experts from the Supervisory Office to surround the Lin Mansion. Also coming with them was Zhang Ying, the commander of the Imperial Guard whom he had met yesterday morning.
"The commander of the Inspectorate, Li Liangyu, has been ordered to investigate the murder of the five kings. Please go over there." Li Liangyu showed his badge and said coldly.
Jiang Jinzhou frowned and said unhappily, "So what if it's the Supervisory Office? You can investigate if you want. Why are you not looking for the murderer? Why are you coming to our Lin Mansion to cause trouble? Don't you know that my sister's mansion was given by the emperor?"
Li Liangyu said, "Mr. Jiang, please don't embarrass me. I know you are the young master of Cangwu Palace. You arrived in the capital with Princess Leyang a month ago, and then you had too close contact with Prince Yu's Mansion and had an old grudge with Princess Yanyun. We in the Supervision Department now suspect that you two are colluding with Prince Yu's Mansion and are related to the murder of several princes. Come with us now."
Jiang Jinzhou sneered, "Master Li Liangyu, are you out of your mind?"
He looked at him with a half-smile, "My sister is the master of Prince Yu. His Majesty knows this. His Majesty also respects my master because Prince Yu respects him. How come you say it's collusion? How come you don't have a single good word to say?"
Jiang Jinzhou: "The emperor has not said that Prince Yu is guilty, but you, the commander of the Supervisory Department, have already accused him of a crime. What? Do you have a grudge against Prince Yu and are you doing this on purpose?"
Li Liangyu's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said coldly, "Young Master Jiang, be careful with your words. I know that the Jianghu has been very powerful in recent years, and there is a sense of competition with the imperial court, so Young Master Jiang is so confident."
Jiang Jinzhou frowned, "I wonder why you are..."
Li Liangyu ignored him and continued, "However, you should know that the whole world belongs to the king. Even if you are from the underworld, as long as you are the people of the Great Yong Dynasty, you must accept the supervision of the court and cannot defy the court's laws. If you are innocent, our Supervisory Office will give you justice. If not..."
Jiang Jinzhou understood what he had not finished saying and could not help but sneer.
"Commander-in-chief, what makes you think that we colluded with Prince Yu's Mansion to kill several princes? Do you think we are stupid, or do you think Prince Yu is stupid?"
"Or do you think His Majesty is stupid?"
Li Liangyu's expression changed: "How outrageous!"
Jiang Jinzhou laughed out loud. He was about to laugh at what Lord Li said. He sneered, "Why, you can't understand such an obvious frame-up? Do you really not understand, or are you pretending not to understand?"
"I also said that I suspected you were the person behind this." Jiang Jinzhou clasped his hands together and looked at him with a smile, but he was not ready to surrender.
He would never admit to something he hadn't done.
Could it be that the Inspectorate wants to force a confession out of me?
