1309 Internal strife, someone always has to be dragged out to take the blame

The news of Mr. Wenyuan's death can be temporarily concealed from ordinary people, but it cannot be concealed from those who are interested. The Ninth Prince's every move is being watched by countless people. How can something that happens in broad daylight be hidden from those people's eyes.

Nanling Jinfan was the first to receive the news. Lying on the bed with a gloomy face, he rarely smiled, his narrow eyes were like a fox seeing meat, cold and greedy.

“Hahaha… Uncle Nine, this is just the beginning. Don’t think that just because you support that bastard Nanling Jinxing to take the throne, he will be able to protect you. Just wait to be despised by everyone!”

The pale face was flushed with a few blushes because of this smile, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes. Nanling Jinfan said to the people under him: "Go, call Ye Ye and tell someone to tell the witch doctor that if he can't cure me, I will feed him to the snakes."

"Yes." A pretty woman, naked, crawled down from the end of the bed, quickly put on her clothes, and retreated respectfully. If you look closely, you will find that the woman behaves respectfully, but her eyes are dull, and she looks like a walking corpse.

In addition to Nanling Jinfan, many people in Dongling and Xiling are also keeping an eye on this matter. Wang Jinling is Mr. Wenyuan's disciple. Mr. Wenyuan's death can be hidden from everyone except him.

When Wang Jinling learned the news, he set out for the border overnight despite opposition from everyone in the Wang family.

As a disciple, he wanted to see his master off. As a disciple, he also wanted to seek justice for his master. Those who used his master's death to plot against others would have to bear the revenge of his master's disciples.

The gentle and kind eldest son did not hide his murderous intentions at all, but in front of outsiders, he looked calm and no one knew what he was thinking.

In Xiling, the one who had been keeping an eye on the Ninth Prince's actions was the eldest princess. Ever since the Ninth Prince took action to destroy the alliance between Nanling Jinfan and her and killed Nanling Jinfan, the eldest princess began to pay attention to the Ninth Prince.

Before this, the princess had never taken the Ninth Prince seriously. She thought that no matter how famous a man was, it didn't matter what he had. But now... the princess understood that the Ninth Prince was far more sinister than she had imagined, as he was able to destroy Nanling Jinfan without making a fuss.

Before this, everyone thought that the Ninth Prince's reputation was too great and that the Emperor Dongling was trying to flatter him, but now it seems that this was his protective color.

The royal family believes that a barking dog never bites, and no one will pay attention to those who clamor for the throne all day long. Instead, those who do things quietly and win over court officials are the most terrifying.

The Ninth Prince, on the other hand, did the opposite and put everything out in the open, which made people ignore him. By the time people noticed him, it was too late.

Princess Xiling had been looking for an opportunity to strike back at the Ninth Prince. Now that she heard that Mr. Wenyuan had died under the protection of the Ninth Prince, how could she not be happy?

"Even God is helping me. Go, spread this news to the Jixia Academy and incite the students of the Jixia Academy to go to the border of Dongling." Things will only get bigger if they are made a fuss. With these literati and celebrities taking action, she doesn't have to do anything, and the Ninth Prince's reputation will be ruined. Then let's see who will be loyal to him.

"I'll do it right away." The eldest princess' confidant agreed to the task, and as soon as he went out, Mr. Yinli received the news.

Being a husband and wife also has its advantages. If Mr. Yinli was not a prince consort or if he did not live with the eldest princess, he would not have received the news so quickly.

Mr. Wenyuan was a spiritual leader in the hearts of students all over the world. Mr. Yinli respected Mr. Wenyuan. After receiving the news of Mr. Wenyuan's death, Mr. Yinli went to the flower boat and drank all night to mourn for the loss of Mr. Wenyuan.

The saint saw him off.

Both publicly and privately, Mr. Yinli could not accept that the eldest princess was using Mr. Wenyuan's death to cause trouble.

"The master is dead, and these people still want to disturb his peace. This is intolerable." Without saying a word, Mr. Yinli wrote a letter to the Ninth Uncle, and after finishing it, he picked up his pen to write a memorial requesting the title of Crown Prince.

The Xiling royal family has only one direct descendant, Xiling Tianyu. Mr. Yinli brought up this matter at this time, of course, to speak for Xiling Tianyu.

With him, the head of Xiling's civil servants, taking the lead, the people below will naturally follow suit, and by then even the eldest princess's interference will be useless.

As for Nanling and Beiling, they also received the news one after another. However, the two countries were at war over the imperial seal. Even if they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to share the benefits, they were powerless.

However, the water is already muddy enough now, and one more or one less won’t make much difference.

The Ninth Prince knew that the current situation was calm on the surface, but in reality, it was turbulent. All forces wanted to use this incident to push him to the bottom. If this matter was not handled well, I am afraid that his ten years of hard work would be wasted and everything would have to start all over again.

In the current situation, finding the murderer is the key. If the murderer is found, it can at least temporarily calm the anger of the Zhan family and the Jixia Academy. However, Feng Qingchen and Zhan Yan checked the fingerprints of all adults in the city, but did not find any matching ones.

"Could it be that the person disappeared out of thin air?" Feng Qingchen couldn't help but ask himself.

She knew the murderer was here, but he was extremely cunning, and she was helpless even with the clues in her hands.

"Oh, it would be great if senior sister was here. With her professional skills, maybe she could draw a picture of the murderer." Feng Qingchen's hair almost turned white with worry.

Time passed day by day. Although Feng Qingchen did not understand criminal investigation, he understood that 72 hours was the critical period to catch the murderer. After 72 hours, both clues and evidence would become less and less, making it even more difficult to catch the murderer.

"Don't worry too much. Things are not as bad as you think." The Ninth Prince felt extremely distressed when he saw that Feng Qingchen had lost a lot of weight in just three days.

He was very happy that Feng Qingchen stood beside him at this time, and faced it with him. He knew that even if he fell to the bottom, this woman would accompany him, wait for the opportunity to make a comeback with him, or accompany him in depression.

"But, three days have passed. If the murderer is not found, what will you give to the Zhan family?" Feng Qingchen was indeed tired, his eyes were red from staying up all night, and when he saw the Ninth Prince standing beside him, he put his arms around his waist without thinking and leaned his head on him.

Although this man was cold and unkind, Feng Qingchen felt most at ease leaning on him for some reason. Even if the sky fell, this man would be able to support her without frowning.

The Ninth Prince patted Feng Qingchen's back and said in a low voice, "The Zhan family is very sensible, don't worry."

However, the more sensible people are, the more difficult they are to deal with, because they are not easy to fool, and it is not easy to push someone out to take the blame.

“No matter how sensible a person is, it is impossible for him to remain calm when faced with such a thing. The Zhan family has such a transcendent status because of Mr. Wenyuan. Now that Mr. Wenyuan is dead, the Zhan family has no one to take over. The Zhan family is almost half collapsed, and they will never give up.” During the past three days, Feng Qingchen has been with Zhan Yan, and took the opportunity to inquire about the situation of the Zhan family.

The Zhan family is definitely not that easy to talk to. The current situation is very unfavorable to the Ninth Uncle. If the murderer is not found, the Zhan family will definitely hold the blame on the Ninth Uncle.
