Film and TV: Traveling through countless worlds at the same time

Although there is suspicion of taking advantage of others, it is indeed a bit despicable.

But honestly, this is definitely helping Fan Xian.

If you don't believe me, just look at Fan Xian's attitude.

After hearing Lu Xiao's words, Fan Xian looked up and stared at him seriously, then asked.

"Will you enforce the law impartially?"

Lu Xiao said without hesitation, "Of course. I promise that Lin Gong will definitely receive the punishment he deserves."

Fan Xian showed a grateful look on his face, and then said carefully.

"Thank you."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to have unloaded an invisible burden.

The movements at the city gate naturally could not be hidden from those who were paying attention.

The moment Lin Gong's name appeared.

Everyone panicked.

The eldest princess, the crown prince, the second prince, and Lin Xiang

Lin Gong himself was all panicked.

Especially the eldest princess and the crown prince.

Most of the dozen or so assassination attempts Lu Xiao encountered on his way back to Beijing were perpetrated by these two.

The remaining people were arranged by Lin Gong himself.

They wanted to keep this secret hidden.

But they were ultimately disappointed.

What they didn't expect was that Lu Xiao would announce this news to the public so easily.

It was simply a king bomb at the beginning, catching everyone off guard.

This completely disrupted all their plans and calculations.

At this point, Si Lili's life or death is obviously no longer important.

On the contrary, Lu Xiao's subsequent attitude is crucial.

Chapter 137 Attitudes of All Parties

Second Prince's Mansion.

The Second Prince Li Chengze is playing a game of tossing pots with Prince Jing's son Li Hongcheng.

"Lu Xiao is truly audacious, publicly announcing the identity of the mastermind behind this. It looks like our Crown Prince is in trouble."

Li Chengze was having a lot of fun at the moment, with a smile on his face.

Narrator Li Hongcheng nodded.

"That's right. Since this was planned by Lin Gong, regardless of whether it was instructed by the Crown Prince or not, he will definitely bear the blame. However, since this matter involves Prime Minister Lin, it's not convenient for us to intervene now."

Li Chengze said, "Then it's not a problem. We can just watch the show. Regardless of the final outcome of this matter, the Crown Prince is destined to fail in winning over Prime Minister Lin. This is our greatest achievement."

No matter what, Lin Gong did this for the prince.

As the most valued son of Prime Minister Lin, he is also the future successor of the Lin family.

Just because of the prince, he was dragged into this dangerous situation.

Given Prime Minister Lin's temper, there will definitely be conflict between the Crown Prince's faction and Prime Minister Lin's faction in the future.

When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman naturally benefits.

The group flirted with Yingling's wife, Siqisi Wu slipped away. This is the result that Lin Gong can survive.

If Lin Gong died, it is estimated that Prime Minister Lin and the Crown Prince would be at war from now on.

But so far, no one thinks Lin Gong will die in the end.

After all, he is the son of Prime Minister Lin. Even if the situation gets to the worst, Prime Minister Lin can only lower his dignity and ask Emperor Qing for help.

Emperor Qing would certainly not let this old minister's heart grow cold.

At this moment, Li Chengze suddenly said, "Speaking of which, I have to thank Lu Xiao for this. I suddenly feel that he is more worthy of winning over than Fan Xian. I remember you said you lost Zuixianlou to him a few days ago?"

Li Hongcheng nodded and said, "Yes, I lost."

Li Chengze said, "You lose, it's just a brothel, no big deal. Send the deed and the indentures to them as soon as possible, or else people will think you're not keeping your word."

Li Hongcheng nodded immediately: "I understand. It's ready. I'll have someone send it over later."

"We're not trying to win him over, are we?" Li Chengze asked with a smile.

Li Hongcheng nodded immediately. "Of course not. I made a gentleman's bet with him, and many people can testify to that."

"Well, that's good."

After Li Chengze said this, he shot the last arrow in his hand.

The arrow flew through the air and finally landed steadily in the pot.

Prince's Mansion

“Hehehe~”

Princess Li Yunrui looked at the letter that had just been delivered, and a half-smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Opposite her, the prince asked curiously: "Aunt, what are you laughing at?"

Li Yunrui handed the letter over. "Look for yourself. I found an interesting person. I didn't expect there are people in this world who are even crazier than me."

The prince subconsciously took the letter, glanced at it, and his expression changed drastically.

"What! The assassination of Fan Xian was actually planned by Lin Gong, how come I didn't know about it!"

The Crown Prince still remembered the solemn promise he had made to Emperor Qing in the palace a few days ago that this matter had absolutely nothing to do with him.

I didn't expect to be slapped in the face so soon.

From the moment Lin Gong's name came out, it no longer mattered whether he had ordered this or not.

Li Yunrui smiled softly again and said, "I arranged for Lin Gong to do it."

As soon as these words came out, the prince's face suddenly turned sad and angry: "Aunt, what do you think of me when you do this?"

Li Yunrui's face showed a trace of grievance. "I did this for you. If I kill Fan Xian, Wan'er won't have to marry. Then the financial power of the inner treasury will naturally remain in the same hands. You still blame me?"

If someone who doesn't know this gesture sees it, they might think it's a girlfriend acting coquettishly to her boyfriend.

The prince was immediately speechless: "I know my aunt is doing this for my own good, but now that the situation has come to this, what should we do?"

Li Yunrui said, "Although there was a bit of an accident, we did find an interesting person. I think the Inspection Bureau is having an even bigger headache than us right now."

The Crown Prince nodded and said, "Indeed, now that the truth has been revealed, no matter how we deal with Lin Gong, it's a problem. The Inspection Office should indeed have the bigger headache, but we're not in a good situation either. This move has undoubtedly crossed Prime Minister Lin's bottom line. If we're targeted by him in court because of this, our future will be difficult."

Li Yunrui said, "You're wrong. Even though this matter went wrong, it doesn't necessarily mean it can't turn out well."

"Aunt, what do you mean by this?" the prince asked in confusion.

Li Yunrui asked, "Tell me, if the Inspection Office refused to give Prime Minister Lin face and insisted on killing Lin Gong, and you were able to sacrifice your dignity as Crown Prince and seek an imperial decree from His Majesty to forgive Lin Gong's sins, thus saving his life, would Prime Minister Lin still target you?"

As soon as these words came out, the prince was immediately reminded.

He knew how much Prime Minister Lin valued Lin Gong.

If things could really develop as Li Yunrui said, it might actually turn out to be a good thing.

But then he shook his head and said, "Impossible. The people in the Inspection Office are not fools. They have no reason to kill Lin Gong. After all, even my father would give Prime Minister Lin face. It is not our turn to take action."

"No? Then why don't we just give him one?"

After Li Yunrui finished speaking, he turned and looked out the window, his eyes full of meaning.

Royal Palace

After listening to Eunuch Hou's report, Emperor Qing showed a rare hint of surprise on his face.

"What on earth does he want to do? Is he trying to overthrow the entire court?"

This time, Eunuch Hou knelt down obediently on the ground, not daring to say a word.

Because he knew that Emperor Qing was really angry this time, unlike before.

At this moment, the Niulan Street assassination case is no longer a simple assassination case.

It was a major event that simultaneously involved several of the largest forces in the Nanqing court.

If this matter is not handled properly, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the entire court.

This is something that Emperor Qing would never allow.

Inspection Office No. 1.

After seeing Fan Xian off, Lu Xiao returned to his room.

He was really tired from traveling day and night these past few days and just wanted to have a good sleep.

So even though there was a beautiful woman beside him, he had no other interest today.

Si Lili, on the other hand, was very concerned about Lu Xiao's condition.

After seeing Lu Xiao lying on the bed, she immediately turned over and hid in his arms.

Then he said softly.

"I seem to have caused you some serious trouble."

At the same time, a stranger suddenly appeared at the gate of a courtyard.

This man looked middle-aged, with a smiling face.

Carrying a cloth bag, he walked into a place in a swaggering manner.

It wasn't until he walked into the courtyard that a passing inspection officer took a look at him and asked.

"Who are you, and what brings you to my Inspection Office?"

The man smiled and said, "My name is Yuan Hongdao. I'd like to see Mr. Lu Xiao, the head of a local branch."

Chapter 138 Madman

After hearing the visitor introduce himself, the inspector looked him up and down before speaking.

"Wait."

After saying this, he planned to go in and report.

Seeing this, Yuan Hongdao immediately asked, "Can I go inside and wait?"

The inspector looked at him curiously again. It was rare to see someone so clueless.

However, he showed no fear on his face and always had a simple smile on his face. His temperament was also different from that of ordinary people.

So after thinking about it, I said.

"Yes, but I need to check your five-grade items first."

After Lu Xiao took charge of a certain place, the rules of the courtyard naturally became different from usual.

Not to mention outsiders, even colleagues from other parts of the Inspection Bureau who wanted to enter the inner courtyard had to go through layers of searches.

Things like Lu Xiao's previous behavior, where he could walk into the inner courtyard in broad daylight, would never happen again.

After hearing what the "343" person from the Inspection Institute said, Yuan Hongdao hesitated for a moment before placing the bag on the table.

When the bag was opened, the contents inside really surprised the people at the Inspection Institute.

The bag was filled with various knives, awls, steel needles and other things.

As someone from the Inspection Institute, I'm not unfamiliar with these things.

These little gadgets are instruments of torture.

It is a torture device that only a true master of torture would possess.

Then he immediately asked: "What do these things mean?"
