Chapter 99 Lin Ruofu fell and Emperor Qing was angry!

Lin Xiangfu

Lin Ruofu, who was about to go to court, was about to get on the sedan chair when he saw a servant running towards him in a hurry.

Seeing the man's appearance, Lin Ruofu frowned and said, "Why are you panicking?"

The servant leaned close to Lin Ruofu's ear and said, "Prime Minister, there's news just now from the Inspection Office that a swordsman broke into the dungeon of the Inspection Office last night."

"There is no one alive on the first floor of the Inspection Institute dungeon!"

"All the guards and prisoners were killed, and their deaths were horrible!"

Lin Ruofu felt his scalp tingling when he heard that. Then he widened his eyes and asked the man, "How is Gong'er?!"

The servant suppressed his grief and said, "The Second Young Master is among them!"

"Pfft!"

The next second, Lin Ruofu fell down, and the servants hurried to support him.

"Quick! Go get the doctor!!!"

At the same time, the palace had also received the news.

In the palace, Eunuch Hou received a pigeon message from the Inspection Institute. When he opened it and saw the contents of the note,

Even a man like Eunuch Hou felt dizzy for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, Eunuch Hou didn't care about etiquette and rushed to Emperor Qing.

When Emperor Qing saw Eunuch Hou rushing in, he was about to speak when he was startled by Eunuch Hou's words.

"Your Majesty, Su Wenyi, the director of the First Division of the Inspection Institute, has just sent a message via carrier pigeon."

"Last night, an assassin attacked the dungeon of the Inspection Institute. All the dungeon guards and prisoners on the first floor of the dungeon were killed!"

"Minister Lin's second son was also among them, and after investigation, it was found that the deceased was killed by Si Gu Jian's swordsmanship!"

After Eunuch Hou finished speaking, Emperor Qing exclaimed, "What?!"

Eunuch Hou repeated again: "Your Majesty, the news has been confirmed. The deceased was killed by Si Gu Jian's swordsmanship!"

"The death scene was horrific! Lord Su requests His Majesty to seal off the city immediately!"

Emperor Qing was furious and said, "What's the point of sealing off the city at this time?! If Si Gu Jian really killed someone, I'm afraid he would have gone far away by now!"

"Ask Su Wenyi what he, the head of the first department, cooks?"

"The Inspection Office was broken into. What happened last night was not reported until this morning!"

Faced with the furious Emperor Qing, Eunuch Hou did not dare to say much. He could only lower his head and wait quietly for Emperor Qing's order.

After Emperor Qing finished speaking, he began to spin around in place.

Su Wenyi was really quick to act and got the job done in just one day.

But the matter of Si Gu's sword technique was indeed a bit strange.

Is it a coincidence? Or is Su Wenyi related to Si Gu Jian?
The possibility of the former is not very high, but if it is the latter, then the matter concerning Su Wenyi needs to be carefully considered.

After thinking it over, Emperor Qing said to Eunuch Hou, "Send an order to have Su Wenyi come to court, and also send someone to the Lin residence immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Hou left in a hurry. Today's incident was too big!
Just as Eunuch Hou was preparing to go look for someone, other important figures in the city had already received the news.

The Ye family, the Qin family, the Fan family, the second prince, the crown prince, the eldest princess and others have all received the news!

The family with the biggest reaction was the Fan family!

At the Fan family, at the dinner table.

When Fan Jian's family of five were sitting together eating, a guard suddenly broke in.

Seeing the guards rushing in, Fan Jian's brows immediately frowned.

These guards have all undergone rigorous training and will not actively disturb me unless there are special circumstances.

Thinking about this, Fan Jian said to a few people: "You guys eat first."

After saying this, Fan Jian stood up and walked in front of the guard.

The guard lowered his voice and said to Fan Jian, "Sir, there's news from the Inspection Office that a master broke into the dungeon last night and killed everyone in the dungeon!"

"All the officials who were arrested before were killed, including Lin Gong, the second son of Prime Minister Lin."

"The news has been confirmed, the murderer is Si Gu Jian!"

Upon hearing the news, Fan Jian's expression suddenly became serious.

After a while, the guards left and Fan Jian called Fan Xian out alone.

Fan Jian looked at Fan Xian in front of him, took a deep breath, and then conveyed the news he had just received.

After Fan Jian finished speaking, Fan Xian's eyes widened, as if he had heard it wrongly.

Fan Jian put his hands behind his back and said with a complicated expression: "Don't tell Lin Wan'er about this news yet. Go to the Inspection Institute first."

Fan Xian said in a daze, "Yes, father!"

When Fan Xian was about to leave, Fan Jian hesitated and said, "Wait! It's not safe for you to go alone. I'll have my guards escort you."

Fan Xian said without hesitation: "No need, father. If he is really a great master, I am afraid that ordinary guards will not be able to protect me."

After saying this, Fan Xian turned and left.

Just after Fan Xian left, Wu Zhu suddenly appeared in front of Fan Xian after turning a corner.

Fan Xian looked at Wu Zhu in front of him and said anxiously, "Uncle, can you beat a grandmaster?"

Wu Zhu said expressionlessly: "Sure!"

With these words, Fan Xian felt relieved.

A moment later, Fan Xian rode his horse straight to the Inspection Institute.

At the same time, many people appeared in Kyoto riding fast horses on the streets.

Among them was someone from the Second Prince’s Mansion—Fan Wujiu!

After Fan Wujiu rode back to the Second Prince's residence at full speed, he immediately came before the Second Prince.

At this time, Li Chengze was still eating breakfast happily. At this time, Fan Wujiu rushed in breathlessly.

Li Chengze didn't even raise his head and just ate, while Xie Bian frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Fan Wujiu: "Si Si Gu Jian has entered Kyoto!"

As soon as these words came out, the chopsticks in Li Chengze's hand slipped directly.

Li Chengze raised his head and looked at Fan Wujiu in disbelief and asked, "Who are you talking about? How could a grandmaster?"

Then, Fan Wujiu began to tell the news he had received.

After Li Chengze heard this, his face twitched violently a few times.

At this time, Xie Bian asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Grandmaster, you came all the way here just to kill a few people?"

Li Chengze crossed his arms, bit his fingernails and said, "No, it's not that simple."

"Fan Wujiu, go to Tongfu Inn immediately to find out what's going on!"

"No, Xie Bian, you go too!"

Xie Bian heard this and said: "Your Highness, your safety is assured."

Li Chengze said with a cold expression: "Go!"

Inside the palace

Guangxin Palace

Li Yunrui's other personal maid, Bai Lan, came to Li Yunrui's bed.

"Your Highness, something terrible has happened! Lin Gong is dead!"

Hearing this, Li Yunrui suddenly sat up from the bed, looked at Bai Lan in disbelief and asked: "What did you say?!"

Bai Lan quickly told Li Yunrui what happened.

After Li Yunrui finished listening, his eyes were filled with doubts.

Si Gu Jian came to kill people? How is this possible!

How could Si Gu Jian go to the capital of Qing to kill people just for a few of his disciples? And he even rushed directly into the Inspection Institute.

This kind of thing sounds outrageous, but there is no way to doubt it.

After all, Si Gu Jian killed his entire family with his own hands!
While Li Yunrui was puzzled, the Crown Prince Li Chengqian of the Eastern Palace also received the same news.

As soon as this news came out, the whole of Kyoto was in an uproar!

But in just a few moments, the palace guards more than doubled, and they were all the most elite red-armored knights!
What no one knew was that at this moment, somewhere outside of Kyoto, there was also unrest.

Outside of Kyoto, in a secret base.

When Chen Pingping was sitting in a wheelchair and exercising his arm strength, a pigeon landed in front of him.

Chen Pingping looked at the pigeon in front of him and reached out to take the secret letter.

The moment Chen Pingping opened the secret letter, his face changed drastically!

"Order! Black Cavalry, assemble! Return to the capital!!!"

At the command, the Black Cavalry rushed into the room and first put Chen Pingping on the carriage.

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of black knights mounted their horses and headed straight for Kyoto in just a moment!

Inside the carriage, Chen Pingping looked at the note in his hand with no expression on his face.

Lin Gong was killed! And he died in the Inspection Office!
This matter is too big. No one in the Inspection Institute can handle it except Chen Pingping.

Unfortunately, Chen Pingping is not in Kyoto now.

In addition, there is news about Si Gu Jian.

At this moment, Chen Pingping had no way of determining whether the news was true or false, but he was able to rush into the dungeon of the Inspection Institute quietly.

Killing everyone without being discovered is definitely not something that an ordinary ninth-grade master can do.

Chen Pingping had a guess in his mind, that this incident was done by Shadow!
However, everything will have to wait until Chen Pingping returns to Kyoto!

An hour later, inside the palace, in the court!
Civil and military officials gathered together!

Even Lin Ruofu arrived in person, but his condition was extremely bad at this time, and it seemed as if half of his energy had been drained away.

Emperor Qing sat on the dragon sedan chair, frowning as he looked at the civil and military officials below.

"Where is Su Wenyi, the director of the First Division of the Inspection Institute?"

Eunuch Hou quickly followed suit and said, "Send it to the Chief of the First Division of the Inspection Institute, Su Wenyi!"

A moment later, Su Wenyi, dressed in official uniform, came to the court.

Su Wenyi bowed to Emperor Qing and said, "Your Majesty, I am Su Wenyi!"

Emperor Qing looked at Su Wenyi and said sternly: "Su Wenyi, tell them all about this!"

Veins popped out of Su Wenyi's head, and he said with a red face, "Your Majesty, an assassin sneaked into the dungeon of the Inspection Institute last night."

"Kill all the spies left in the dungeon and the guards on the first floor of the dungeon!"

"It has been confirmed that all the dead were killed by Si Gu Jian's swordsmanship!"

"What's more, there are ninth-rank masters guarding the Inspection Institute. It is impossible for ordinary assassins to sneak into the dungeon quietly."

"There is only one person in this world who can do this!"

At this time, Emperor Qing also became the number one supporting actor in history.

"Oh? Who is it?"

Su Wenyi shouted: "Dongyi City - Si Gu Jian!"

"Your Majesty, I, Su Wenyi, beg you to declare war on Dongyi City!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing immediately turned into a curious baby and asked, "Would Grandmaster Si Gu Jian travel thousands of miles to the dungeon of the Inspection Institute to kill someone?"
