Qin Feng felt very good when he saw the words "Introduction to the Domineering Kung Fu" appear on the panel.

Originally he was worried that he would not be able to understand the Grand Master's techniques, or that his talent was not enough to be used for the Grand Master's techniques.

But now it seems that all the worries were in vain.

Now that you have mastered the technique, subsequent improvements are easy. Just keep practicing.

As this grandmaster-level technique improves, his strength will also improve. One day, he will also become a grandmaster!

These days, I am becoming more and more hopeful.

As it was getting late, the teahouse was about to close.

So Qin Feng left the teahouse and walked towards Fan Mansion.

Fan Mansion, Fan Xian’s courtyard.

"Brother Ye! You scared me! How come you walked without making any sound? You're like a ghost!"

Fan Xian was deep in thought when he was startled when he saw Qin Feng suddenly appear in front of him.

"There are spies everywhere near your house. You will be discovered if you are not careful." Qin Feng said with a smile.

Don’t mention it, you really shouldn’t mention it. When Qin Feng entered the Fan Mansion, he didn’t walk around the mansion.

But because of the direction I came from, I still had to take a small detour to get to the back door.

And in just this half circle, he discovered more than thirty spies.

Good man, the spies are having a meeting here, right?

"What were you thinking about just now?"

Qin Feng sat on the chair opposite Fan Xian very naturally, grabbed the pastry on the table and put it into his mouth.

"I was wondering who was trying to assassinate me. At first, I thought it was the prince, but later I felt it was not the right person. He had just targeted me a few days ago. Wouldn't he be able to clear himself of this assassination?"

"Then I turned around and thought it was the Second Prince. On the surface, he was the most suspicious. After all, he invited me to the appointment, deliberately making us think that he was not that stupid, and in this way he cleared me of suspicion."

"But this doesn't feel right. The Second Prince is definitely a suspect, unless he is so confident that the Inspection Office can't find anything!"

Fan Xian looked thoughtful here, with a frown on his face, and slowly told his guess.

After he went home and met with Fan Jian today, he learned a lot of information from him. Later, he went to the Inspection Institute to inquire about the situation.

Now when he returned home at night, he began to wonder who this enemy was.

"Have you eaten? If not, ask the kitchen to bring something to eat. I'm hungry." Qin Feng felt a little hungry, and eating pastries alone was not enough, so he asked.

Fan Xian: “.”

Fan Xian felt a little uncomfortable, and said helplessly: "Brother Ye, were you listening to me just now?"

Before, he thought that Qin Feng, besides being a martial arts fanatic and upright, also spoke in a simple and unpretentious manner.

But now it seems that all the previous ones were illusions?
"I heard it. Didn't you say that this man is neither the crown prince nor the second prince, and that he is confident that the Inspection Office will not be able to find out anything?"

Fan Xian: "Ah? Yes! Who is that?"

Qin Feng's words were like a beacon of light, pointing the way for the lost Fan Xian. He felt that he had a clue in his mind.

"Who are your enemies? This is not this, that is not that. If you use the process of elimination, won't the answer come out?"

"Method of elimination? Brother Ye, you..."

"What are you talking about? I'm hungry. Go to the kitchen and get me something to eat!"

"Oh." Fan Xian suddenly realized and stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that Qin Feng was still the same Qin Feng. Although his words were simple, they went straight to the core of the problem.

The image of Qin Feng gradually became fuller in Fan Xian's heart.

He is a smart man, but not good at speaking.

Soon, the kitchen brought up dinner.

"Where is your guard?" Qin Feng asked casually while eating.

"You mean Teng Zijing, right? He was injured. I asked him to go home and recover before coming back."

After mentioning this, Fan Xian quickly said, "Brother Ye, after your reminder just now, I suddenly remembered that this might have been done by the eldest princess."

"How to say?"

"The eldest princess controls the treasury's financial power, and Lin Wan'er is still her daughter. She doesn't want to hand over power, nor does she want to marry her daughter to me. She has a strong motive to assassinate me!"

"And she is on the side of the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince may have conspired with the Princess. If I died at that time, everyone would suspect the Second Prince, so this possibility is the greatest!"

The more Fan Xian spoke, the more excited he became, and the clearer his thoughts became.

"So where is Prime Minister Lin?" Qin Feng glanced at him and then continued eating.

"Lin Xiang? It can't be him!"

Fan Xian said with a confident look, "Prime Minister Lin is the head of all officials, second only to one man and above ten thousand people. If such a powerful person just doesn't want Lin Wan'er to marry me, he can just speak up and suppress the matter."

"Assassination in Kyoto! This matter is of great importance. If it is related to Prime Minister Lin and is discovered, it will be more trouble than gain! He has no reason to take such a risk!"

"So you let the Crown Prince and the Second Prince go?"

Fan Xian quickly said, "That's not true. These two people are also suspects, but not as suspects as the eldest princess. The mastermind is most likely the eldest princess, Li Yunrui!"

"So what? What are you going to do? Go and sue Li Yunrui directly?" Qin Feng asked with interest.

The situation at this point has completely deviated from the proper channels.

Qin Feng was very curious about what Fan Xian would do and how the outside world would react.

Now, it’s like he is watching a TV series in person.

The main thing is that he can still participate in it and stir up the development of the plot, which is quite interesting.

Hearing this, the light in Fan Xian's eyes dimmed.

"She's the eldest princess, so high up in the world. How can I sue her? Especially since I don't have any evidence at all, and there's no way to confirm this now!"

To sue the royal family without evidence is simply courting death.

And even if you have evidence, after you sue, it will probably be treated coldly.

In the world of Joy of Life, those dignitaries and powerful people are completely two different species from ordinary people.

In the eyes of those adults, ordinary people are not people at all!
And the royal family is the best among them!
It is just a joke that the emperor who breaks the law shall be punished just like the common people.

"Now, what I have to do is to find evidence!"

Fan Xian said, "I went to the place where the giant tree appeared earlier and found a token with a rather special pattern. Wang Qinian said he had seen it in a place in the Inspection Institute, so I asked him to check it out."

He was afraid that Qin Feng didn't know Wang Qinian, so he explained: "Wang Qinian is a clerk in the Inspection Bureau. I think he is smooth and not a bad person, so I asked him to do something. His Qinggong is very powerful!"

"Of course, his Qinggong is definitely not as good as yours, Brother Ye. Your Qinggong is just like a ghost. Ahem! Brother Ye, can you teach me Qinggong?"

Wow, you’ve said so much and are waiting here!
Qin Feng didn't respond, but just looked at him quietly.

Seeing this, Fan Xian's eyes dodged, and he quickly coughed twice to ease the embarrassment, and continued, "Besides that big fool, there were two female assassins who assassinated me. They were from Dongyi City, and the strong bows they used were from the City Patrol Department."

"Wang Qinian said that a lieutenant commander of the City Patrol Department lost a batch of military equipment a few days ago. This might be related to this. I asked for an address and went to check it out this afternoon."

Having said this, Fan Xian's tone became low.

"But when I arrived at his house, the general's entire family, including the servants, had all hanged themselves, and they had died not long before I left."

"Obviously, this is a warning to me, and also a threat to me! Telling me not to investigate further."

"With such a large sum of money, the person behind it must be extremely powerful."

After listening to Fan Xian's words, Qin Feng also finished his dinner.

He put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked, "So what are you going to do now?"

"What else can we do? Wait for Wang Qinian to bring news. I think the token should be a clue!"

At this point, Fan Xian hurriedly said, "Brother Ye, Wang Qinian will be back soon, you have to hide. Also, my sister may come to see me later, after all, she was assassinated."

"kindness."

Qin Feng nodded and said, "But the house issue needs to be settled sooner. I don't want to live here forever."

After all, it's someone else's home, and Qin Feng doesn't have the habit of living under someone else's roof.

After saying that, Qin Feng stood up and walked towards the side room.

When he was about to enter the room, he waved his hand and said, "Fan Xian, think carefully about whether there are any other clues. Don't miss them."

As soon as he finished speaking, the other person walked into the side room.

Other clues?

Fan Xian immediately began to think about it.

He investigated the scene and didn't find any special clues. He checked everything he should check, but it seems like there is nothing. Wait!

There is still a very important clue that has not been checked.

That is the assassination itself!
The assassination on Niulan Street and the use of a siege crossbow showed that the person behind it had arranged it in advance and knew his schedule for the day!

Yesterday, it was Prince Jing’s son Li Hongcheng who came to invite him personally.

Not many people knew that he was going to Zuixianju today. Apart from his relatives, only the Second Prince and the people in Zuixianju knew about it.

Fan Ruoruo and the others are definitely not related to the assassination, and the possibility of the Second Prince is not high either. So there is only the last possibility, someone from Zuixianju!

Thinking of this, Fan Xian hurried to the door of Qin Feng's side room.

He didn't go in either, but just shouted outside, "Brother Ye, thank you very much!"

As the saying goes, those who are involved in the matter are often the most confused. Fan Xian was able to think of the key point immediately after just a brief reminder. His brain is quite flexible.

If it were Fan Sizhe or Guo Baokun, they would probably still doubt it if you put the answer in front of them.

These two are the Crouching Dragon and the Phoenix, both very smart!
There was no response from Qin Feng in the room. Fan Xian bowed to the door and turned to walk out.

When he took Qin Feng to look for a house in the city, Fan Xian asked him a lot about his mother, and he was also secretly inquiring about Qin Feng's past.

But in this regard, Qin Feng always said half and kept the other half, and never told him the truth.

Fan Xian was very depressed about this, but now Qin Feng was helping him a lot, and he didn't seem to have any ulterior motives. He spoke very frankly and asked for his grandmaster skills right away.

After spending such a long time together, Fan Xian's evaluation of Qin Feng is: he can be trusted for the time being, but the follow-up remains to be seen.

"Zuixianju, Si Lili!"

While Fan Xian was muttering to himself, he walked outside.

Now that he knew the target and the situation was urgent, he didn't have time to continue waiting for Wang Qinian in the house.

But what happened was that as soon as he left Fan Mansion, he ran into Wang Qinian who had arrived.

"My Lord, what are you doing?"

"Old Wang, you came at the right time. I found a new clue here. Please accompany me! By the way, how is your investigation going?" Fan Xian took Wang Qinian and walked towards the west of the city.

"I found out. This is the token for mobilizing Northern Qi's secret agents. Cheng Jushu should also be a Northern Qi secret agent."

After explaining, Wang Qinian immediately asked curiously: "Sir, what new clues have you found?"

"Zuixianju, Si Lili!"

"Is it the courtesan who had a night of love with the master a few days ago? Is there any news from her?" The smile on Wang Qinian's face was a little vulgar, but not annoying.

"What are you thinking!" Fan Xian said unhappily, "This man might be related to the assassination!"

"Ah?" Wang Qinian didn't expect this.

"Talk as you walk. Don't let anyone run away if you're late!"

So Fan Xian took Wang Qinian and hurried towards Zuixianju, telling Wang Qinian all his guesses along the way.

royal palace.

The Crown Prince and the Second Prince were kneeling on the ground trembling with fear, and in front of them were some bows and crossbows.

These are the weapons used to assassinate Fan Xian today.

Emperor Qing did not know about this assassination in advance; it was secretly arranged by the eldest princess.

Although the result was good, he still felt uncomfortable because the matter was beyond his control.

Now that these two people have been summoned, of course I will give them a good beating!
"Who carried out the assassination today?" Emperor Qing asked casually.

Although the tone was calm, the meaning implied in the words made both of them tremble.

"I may be a little confused, but I won't be so rebellious!" Crown Prince Li Chengqian bowed quickly to explain.

"Fan Xian and I have a very good relationship. There is really no reason to kill him." Li Chengze also said from the side.

"Then tell me, who is this person behind this?"

Emperor Qing's words were meant to ask the two of them to explain.

Li Chengqian said it was a conspiracy of Northern Qi and wanted to define the matter, but Li Chengze would not miss such a good opportunity and quickly used Guo Baokun's matter to trip him up.

"Do you think killing can solve the problem?" At this time, Emperor Qing spoke.

He is very good at using the art of language. This sentence seems normal on the surface, but it is actually a hook for him to say the next sentence.

"Of course not! How can everything in the world be solved by killing people?!" Li Chengqian said indignantly.

"I think so too." Li Chengze nodded.

"I think it's okay!"

Emperor Qing's words startled the two men and they both straightened their knees a little.

Emperor Qing continued, "If Fan Xian stops you, you can kill him. If the government office becomes suspicious, you can also kill the government office. If the Inspection Bureau asks questions, you can kill all of them."

Upon hearing this, both the Crown Prince and the Second Prince frowned and broke out in cold sweats.

"If I become suspicious, you can kill me!"

"If my son has such intention, I will be punished by heaven and earth!"

The prince quickly knelt down with a look of horror on his face.

"Youth also bows down!" Li Chengze also bowed down.

Emperor Qing paused, said nothing, and looked quietly at the two people kneeling on the ground.

After a while, he calmly said, "You are so bold and reckless. You are challenging the law of the country! Get out!"

Hearing this, the two men felt as if they had been pardoned. They quickly stood up, bowed, and walked out.

After this warning, Emperor Qing no longer had to guess who was behind the assassination of Fan Xian.

Whether it is the crown prince, the second prince or the eldest princess, his attitude has been made clear, which is equivalent to drawing a line in Kyoto.

If someone makes the same mistake again next time, the consequences will be serious!
