Cypress Boat Floating

Chapter 88 New Day

"Second brother, if you can't do this, please apologize to father as soon as possible. Don't procrastinate and waste time." After the court was dismissed and the emperor left, the prince walked up to Lu Zhixing and spoke in a sarcastic tone.

Lu Zhixing glanced at him. The prince probably didn't know that people had already put the blame on him, and now he was still being sarcastic to him.

The prince hated the way Lu Zhixing always looked at him, making him feel as if he looked down on him. When he was about to say a few more words to him, Lu Zhixing spoke.

"Your Highness, do you know what the man in black said before he died?"

"What?" The prince looked at him warily, feeling that the man opposite him had no good intentions.

"He said, 'Yesterday's Li family is tomorrow's you'. Tell me, who values ​​the Li family the most?" Lu Zhixing stood aside and looked at the prince with a smile. He couldn't wait to know what the prince's reaction was.

The prince first frowned, looking at Lu Zhixing, pondering this sentence. After he figured it out, he turned to look at Lu Zhixing with a little anger, "What do you mean?"

"Tell me, what would people think if they knew about this?" Lu Zhixing leaned in front of her and said softly.

In fact, neither of them was stupid, and they both knew that this was a plot to sow discord. They were indeed competing, but that was between them. Now someone wanted to make them fight to the death, and then he could sit back and reap the benefits.

If Lu Zhixing and the prince thought about it a little, they would know that the reason why Lu Zhixing told the prince about this was simply because he was worried that someone on the prince's side would play the same trick on him.

He knew the prince's character too well, this man was a bit easily angered, and although he was the prince of a country and had a brain, he was indeed easily taken advantage of sometimes, and if someone targeted his personality then he could be easily manipulated.

He didn't want the prince to fight him to the death and end up with someone else getting the upper hand, so now he was actually trying to get the prince to stand on his side.

They both must be on the same side regarding the theft of the marching distribution map and cannot allow anyone to instigate them. However, the prince is a very suspicious person, and if you rashly go up to him and deliver the message, he will only think that you are trying to trip him up.

Therefore, Lu Zhixing deliberately waited for him to come to him, and then used a mocking look to stimulate him, so that he would stand on his side imperceptibly.

"Did the King of Qin believe it?" The prince reacted quickly. Looking at Lu Zhixing's expression, he knew that Lu Zhixing was most likely doing it on purpose, but he had to admit that Lu Zhixing's behavior did make him wary.

Someone wanted to frame him.

Someone wanted to use his name to harm Lu Zhixing, and Lu Ci Qiu's assassination would also be blamed on him.

He suddenly began to feel fortunate. On the one hand, he was fortunate that Lu Zhixing was not infected, and on the other hand, he was fortunate that Lu Ci Qiu was not in trouble.

If anything happened to Lu Ci Qiu, no matter whether Lu Zhixing believed it or not, he would definitely be the first one to come to his door and might even tear him to pieces.

The prince did not think that he had the ability to defeat Lu Zhixing, who survived the Beiguan battlefield.

"Whether I believe it or not, doesn't it all depend on what big brother does?" Lu Zhixing still had that same smiling face, looking like a good little brother, which made the prince very angry.

"The Li family's matter is over. This matter was done by the Li family themselves. I will naturally not use this matter to cause trouble to you. Please rest assured, King Qin." The prince rolled his eyes at him. How could he not know what Lu Zhixing meant? He just wanted a promise from him.

You are already a thousand-year-old fox, why are you still pretending?

"Of course. I naturally believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows the answer." Lu Zhixing smiled at him. He was in a hurry to go back and investigate the body. It was enough for him to convey his message, so he said goodbye to the Crown Prince.

Lu Ci Qiu had been waiting for Lu Zhixing outside the door. After Lu Zhixing finished talking to the prince, they walked out of the palace together. They were going to the Dali Temple together. They didn't know what was going on with Ye Jianqing.

The prince just stood there and watched Lu Zhixing and Lu Ci Qiu leave. He didn't move for a long time. No one knew what he was thinking.

The fifth prince Lu Mingyi saw that Lu Zhixing had walked away, but the prince was still standing there, so he curiously stepped forward and asked, "Brother Prince, what happened to you?"

Lu Mingyi is the prince's younger brother, and is quite favored by the emperor and the empress. He is well-behaved and cute, and as he grows up he looks more and more like the empress when she was young, and is extremely beautiful.

"It's okay, but I feel like I've fallen into Lu Zhixing's trap." The prince kept pondering what Lu Zhixing had just said. He felt strange that this guy let him go so easily today. In the past, the two of them would not stop fighting until they were dead.

"Brother, you are overthinking it. I see from the look on my second brother's face that he is probably in a hurry to go investigate the marching distribution map with my eighth brother. But don't forget, our father just gave him a final notice, asking him to find out within ten days. How can he investigate it? The person is dead, what can he find out?" Lu Mingyi said here, sighed, and looked at Lu Zhixing's back worriedly.

"The loss of the marching distribution map is a very serious matter. You should also keep an eye on it to see who has taken the map. If the map really falls into the hands of the people in the desert, Da'an will probably have to go to war again." The prince hoped that he would take over a peaceful country at that time, not a war-torn country. The year he was born, the desert had not yet surrendered and there were wars every day. Although he was young, he also knew that war would bring misery to the people.

"Yes." Lu Mingyi agreed.

On the other side, in the Dali Temple, Ye Jianqing was following the coroner in performing an autopsy.

The coroner obviously didn't trust Ye Jianqing's autopsy skills and was not willing to let her in, so she had to stand at the door and watch to prevent the coroner from secretly doing anything. She would wait until the coroner left before going in to take a look.

"Qing'er, why are you standing at the door?" Lu Ci Qiu was surprised to see Ye Jianqing standing at the door when he came back.

The old coroner was still inside. When Ye Jianqing was thinking about how to explain, Lu Zhixing spoke first, "Master Zhang won't let you in, right?"

Ye Jianqing nodded to indicate that the answer was correct.

Lu Zhixing was also helpless. Master Zhang was an old coroner at the Dali Temple and had been there for many years. His coroner skills were very superb, but his personality was not very good either. The old man was very lonely and he performed autopsies alone, and at most he would have someone take notes.

"Master Zhang." Lu Zhixing called out at the door, and only walked in when he saw Master Zhang nodded towards him.

Lu Ci Qiu was left outside the door because of his leg disability, while Ye Jianqing did not go in because he did not want to go in and run into a wall.

She knew that Master Zhang didn't let her in not only because he was a loner, but also because she was a girl. When Master Zhang came in the morning, he saw her and muttered, "Why is it a girl? It's unlucky." Ye Jianqing was furious when she heard this.

So he just stood at the door and accompanied Lu Ci Qiu.

"Did your court session go smoothly today?" Since Lu Zhixing was involved in the matters inside, the two of them didn't need to worry too much and they just started chatting at the door.

"My father told us today that we must find the marching distribution map and identify the murderer within ten days, otherwise my second brother will be in trouble." Lu Ci Qiu was not in a good mood. Although he believed in Lu Zhixing, he had followed this case from beginning to end, and he was aware of the difficulty. It was not easy to find the murderer within ten days.

"Ten days?" Ye Jianqing exclaimed.

"This is too rushed."

Lu Ci Qiu sighed, "Yeah, now we don't even know who the murderer is, and we don't even know where the map is. What should we do now?"

"Let's see if King Qin has any solution. Maybe we can really find the answer from these corpses." Ye Jianqing had nothing to say, so he could only say a few words to comfort Lu Ci Qiu.

Although there is no high-tech here like in modern times to catch the murderer in the first place, the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated. The inheritance of Chinese culture for more than 5,000 years is no joke. Ye Jianqing believes that it is only a matter of time to find the murderer.

Lu Zhixing walked into the morgue, where three bodies were placed. At his request, Master Zhang checked the body of the man in black first.

"Master Zhang, how is it? What did you find?" Lu Zhixing asked.

Master Zhang is a tall and thin old man with white hair on his temples. However, his hands are still as steady as a rock. When he is examining a corpse, his hands do not tremble at all. Even though his hair is white, his body is still very strong.

He pointed at the shoulder of the corpse with his wrinkled hands and said to Lu Zhixing, "Your Highness, look, there is a tattoo here."

"Tattoo?"

"Yes, this tattoo is often seen recently. This tattoo represents a new force that has recently emerged in the martial arts world, called Xinri. This Xinri organization is very crazy. As long as you have money, they can do anything." Although Master Zhang is a coroner, he is also a member of the Dali Temple, so he naturally has a better understanding of these situations.

"So they were just hired to steal pictures and kill people?" Lu Zhixing frowned. He had also heard of this New Sun organization, an organization that suddenly emerged in the past two years. The strange thing is that there are all kinds of people in this organization, but their loyalty to the organization is extremely high.

Lu Zhixing looked at the tattoo, a person kneeling on the ground surrounded by a rising sun. This tattoo inevitably made people think too much. Lu Zhixing snorted coldly: "What does the leader of the New Sun Organization want to do? Overthrow the regime and establish a new one? Humph, what an ungrateful guy."

No matter which dynasty, there will always be people who want to overthrow the regime under various banners. Some of them cannot stand the tyranny of the current emperor, while others simply want to sit in that position and gain supreme power for their own selfish desires.

Obviously, Xinri is the latter.

Lu Zhixing believed that Daan had been adhering to peace and living in harmony with surrounding countries for more than 60 years since its establishment. Lu Zhixing did not think that Daan’s current regime could be overthrown.
