Chung Geng Sheng was startled.
Jiang Wang almost slipped and stepped into the pool.
With his cultivation, he shouldn't be unable to control himself like this. It was just that Zhong Xuan Sheng's brain worked too quickly!
He had just started talking about the Beiya Commandant. Even before he finished talking, Chung Geng Sheng had almost pieced together the whole story of the Longevity Palace incident.
This made him appear rather sluggish when he was thinking strenuously in the Longevity Palace.
He had to exchange one sentence and another piece of information. He could only figure out one, two, three, four …
"You guessed right." Jiang Wang didn't show the slightest bit of surprise. With an expression that said, "Lin Youxie determined that Feng Gu's death was suicide. She thought that Feng Gu chose to commit suicide in order to draw out the case of Imperial Concubine Lei. "
"Suicide?" Chung Geng Sheng thought for a while. "That makes sense …"
… What does it make sense?
"What do you mean?" Jiang Wang analyzed with him calmly.
"Who would be stupid enough to silence the witness after so many years? Who would be stupid enough to provoke the Emperor at this time? "Chung Geng Sheng said," I've been thinking about these questions for a long time! "
"What if Feng Gu had been secretly investigating for so many years and only found the clues of the case now?" Jiang Wang was a little unconvinced.
"Feng Gu died right after the funeral, which means that everything is not a coincidence. Such an accurate time is enough to prove that his death must have been premeditated and not done at the last minute. " Chung Geng Sheng glanced at Jiang Wang. "Whether it was suicide or murder, since it was premeditated, how could it be 'just discovered'?"
Jiang Wang nodded seriously. "What you said makes sense."
Chung Geng Sheng ignored his nonsense and said with annoyance, "I should have thought of it when I saw Zheng Shangming and Lin Youxie appear at the same time. Even if Feng Gu's death was a murder, how could it be investigated by these two people … I shouldn't have let you go! "
"Why not these two people?" Jiang Wang was used to arguing.
Chung Geng Sheng took a bite of the fruit angrily. "One wants to show his loyalty, and the other wants to find the truth. No matter how I look at it, they shouldn't be involved in this kind of case. Unless this case can satisfy them at the same time … I've been playing chess with a bad chess for so long that I've lost this sensitivity! "
"What bad chess?" Jiang Wang was very sensitive now.
"He's not the disciple of Horse Face King, humph …" Zhong Xuan Sheng swallowed the fruit and asked, "Do you want one?"
"No need." Jiang Wang wasn't in the mood to eat. He walked around the pool. "Oh, right. Before Feng Gu died, Lin Youxie received a small dissection knife that Lin Kuang used in the past. That's why she tried to get involved in this case. "
Chung Geng Sheng held the half-eaten fruit in his hand and paused. "I see!"
Jiang Wang was confused.
What do you mean by 'I see'?
What do you mean by 'I see'?
In the end, he only asked enigmatically, "Oh?"
According to the Legends of Thousands of Beauties, every time Emperor Wu of Qi was in a complicated situation like fighting for favor in the harem, or beauties forcing him to abdicate, he would ask before he understood the situation … "Oh?"
This showed that he was calm and had a clear conscience. Not only that, but he had also taken the initiative and taken control of the situation. He was even able to discreetly extract information from the other party and figure out the actual situation …
It was really a clever move!
Chung Geng Sheng didn't think too much and said casually, "I originally thought that Feng Gu's spirit was praiseworthy and his wisdom was pitiful. I didn't say it out of consideration for your feelings. Now that I think about it, he's not completely brainless. "
"Oh?" Jiang Wang asked again.
Chung Geng Sheng had been trained to be patient by Jiang Wang. He explained seriously, "There's a historical reason why the assassination of Imperial Concubine Lei was unsolved back then."
Jiang Wang nodded and motioned for him to continue.
Chung Geng Sheng said, "In the 38th year of Yuanfeng, Duke Loulan raised an army in the open. The emperor personally led the army and the battle ended in a draw … Although the battle ended in a draw, the aftermath didn't stop for ten years. The assassination of Imperial Concubine Lei happened during this period. A famous arrester Lin Kuang died in this case, causing a stir in the city … The emperor had to stabilize the situation and tacitly allowed the case to be put on hold indefinitely. "
"Duke Loulan?"
Jiang Wang was really curious. Qi didn't have a duke, so he had never heard of the name Duke Loulan.
"Due to some historical reasons, Da Qi doesn't have a hereditary duke. In the 38th year of Yuanfeng, there was only one duke, Duke Loulan. In the early years, Duke Loulan fought with His Majesty in the north and south, destroying cities and destroying countries. His reputation wasn't inferior to the current Army God. His name has become a taboo. You don't know … Let's not talk about him first. "
Chung Geng Sheng said, "In short, the assassination of Imperial Concubine Lei didn't have a conclusion back then. It wasn't that there was no conclusion. It was put on hold for political reasons. I think Feng Gu chose to pursue the old case at this time because he saw the emperor's decisiveness in directly cutting off Yan Tu. Da Qi is now qualified to endure some turmoil. "
Jiang Wang frowned. "Will investigating the assassination of Imperial Concubine Lei cause turmoil in the country?"
"At least in the 38th year of Yuanfeng. Now … "Chung Geng Sheng said," I think that unless the Army God is the murderer, no one can shake the emperor's authority. "
Jiang Wang was silent for a moment and said, "Does this mean that … the emperor knows who the murderer of Imperial Concubine Lei is?"
"Who knows? The emperor's heart is unpredictable. " Chung Geng Sheng said slowly, "But no matter whether the emperor back then knew or not, since there hasn't been a result for so many years, the current emperor definitely doesn't know. As for whether the current emperor knows … it depends on whether you are an official or not. "
Chung Geng Sheng's words were a little awkward.
Jiang Wang only said —
"Oh?"
Chung Geng Sheng had completely sorted out his thoughts. He finished the fruit in his hand in two bites and said in a relaxed tone, "Investigate first, find out the truth of that year. If the emperor should know the truth, then report it to the Political Affairs Hall. If the emperor shouldn't know the truth, then report it to the emperor privately. "
He smiled. "Zheng Shi really has sharp eyes! Zheng Shangming is right. If you seize this opportunity, you will be the Commandant of the Northern Yamen! "
"What if you can't find out?" Jiang Wang asked.
"How can you not find out?" Chung Geng Sheng said, "As long as you agree to Zheng Shi and his son's conditions, they will find a way to tell you the truth. Even … not only them. Many people want to tell you the truth. "
"How do you determine whether the emperor should know the truth or not?" Jiang Wang asked again.
"Isn't it simple? You just need to … "Chung Geng Sheng thought for a while and probably still felt that it was not reliable, so he changed his words," Forget it, you can ask me directly when the time comes. Zheng Shi and his son will also help you. "
Jiang Wang was silent for a moment and grinned. "Everything is in my hands, I just need to reach out."
"Yes, you just need to reach out." Chung Geng Sheng said meaningfully, "But it's only because you have such value that you have the opportunity to reach out. It's because you shone in Xingyue Plain, your reputation spread far and wide, and it's because you have risked your life so many times and worked so hard for so long … Glory, splendor, wealth, and rank, you can reach out and touch now. "
His tone was serious. "This is what you deserve, Jiang Wang. Don't miss this opportunity. "
Opportunity …
Jiang Wang looked at the surface of the pool silently.
A breeze blew past, ruffling the water in the pool.
