Chapter 158: Breaking off the Engagement (Subscription Request)
Zhu Ge saw something wrong in Yan Ruohai's eyes. You, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, it’s okay for you to trick me, but you are also a double agent.
However, since it involves the military, in fact, the Supervisory Yuan also sent spies into the military, but not as grand as Yan Ruohai.
Everyone was in a daze. This was the real secret, and it also involved the extermination of the Qin family and the matter of Duke Wu.
This is still a matter of the Four Famous Detectives. Wuqing is still investigating the murder of Jing Ge's family, which surprises many people. In fact, this case is not very secret, it just involves the Qin family. I didn't expect that the Six Gates still wanted to solve the case. Okay, Qin Heng felt a little unnatural.
"It is still unknown whether this matter is true or not." Emperor Qing made the final judgment. It cannot be said here whether there is any truth or not.
"No. 6 on the World's Secret List: Yuan Hongdao." When this name came out, Lin Xiang subconsciously looked to the side. Yuan Hongdao was shocked. Does he have anything to do with it here?
“This man knew Qing State Prime Minister Lin Ruofu in his early years. They were both candidates in the same exam. After failing the exam, he still stayed by Prime Minister Lin’s side and accompanied him from general to prime minister.
On the surface, he is Prime Minister Lin's right-hand man, but in reality he is the eldest princess's spy, delivering Prime Minister Lin's information to the eldest princess.
But he has another most hidden identity. He is one of the earliest secret agents of the Supervisory Council. He has always obeyed the orders of Chen Pingping of the Supervisory Council, the Princess and Prime Minister Lin, and is unknown to others.
In the Niulan Street assassination, Chen Pingping claimed that Si Gu Jian was the murderer who killed Lin Gong. Yuan Hongdao confirmed the matter in front of Prime Minister Lin. Although Prime Minister Lin did not believe that it was Si Gu Jian, he believed that it was the Grand Master who did it. Later, he sent someone to test Fan Xian. Yuan Hongdao arranged the matter and it went smoothly.
Prime Minister Lin of Qing State is destined to leave the officialdom because of this person. This is a secret known to the world. Yuan Hongdao has already ordered Prime Minister Lin's disciples to target a candidate.
This candidate was originally a person who passed the exam in the previous session, but was replaced by a disciple of Prime Minister Lin. Yuan Hongdao accepted a secret order from the Supervisory Council and used the disciples of Prime Minister Lin to target this person. During the assassination attempt, he was rescued by the top detective Zhang Tian. Yuan Hongdao had already been under the surveillance of the Six Gates.
Yuan Hongdao wanted to kill the candidate so that his family could go to Beijing to file a complaint during the spring examination and force Prime Minister Lin to step down. This was an open conspiracy, and the substitution was true after all.
Prime Minister Lin's resignation is inevitable, as the most distinguished person in Qing Kingdom is targeting him and wants to eliminate the position of prime minister in the future.
In the case of Yuan Hongdao's assassination, Zhang Tian escorted the victim to the capital. He is currently under protection in the lower courtyard of Yunmeng Villa. In order not to disturb the celebration banquet of Duke Wu, he will be arrested after the banquet is over."
The God of Catching knew about this, but he had no idea about the three-party spy. He only knew that Yuan Hongdao was the eldest princess's man. How powerful!
The princess was worried at first, how would she explain that Yuan Hongdao was exposed as one of her own? Now she is furious when she hears this. Okay, so you are Chen Pingping's man? I always thought you were mine. Damn it.
The eldest princess was terrified. She thought to herself, maybe Chen Pingping already knew some of her backup plans.
"Mr. Yuan, I didn't expect you to have such an identity." Lin Xiang was so angry that he laughed. He really regarded the other party as his confidant.
"Prime Minister." Yuan Hongdao wanted to say something, but couldn't speak. There was someone's aura pressing down on him. He subconsciously looked over and saw a man dressed in the clothes of the Six Gates. Could this be Zhang Tian?
"You and I have known each other for many years, and you know my character. Combined with our conversation about the Six Gates, it is already a fact. We are no longer connected." Lin Ruofu was shocked.
It would be fine if he was just a spy, but you even killed people in my name. Killing is not a big deal. He is no rookie as the prime minister, but I didn't expect him to be so passive.
When he thought of the Six Gates' analysis, it was the most noble person who wanted to eliminate the prime minister. He understood that he would at most think that he had failed in the struggle with Emperor Qing and at most replaced the prime minister. He did not expect that Emperor Qing did not want this position to exist in the future. He wanted to take all the power. He was a smart man. Combining his own information, he knew that the secret of the Six Gates was true, but he was more concerned about another thing.
"Duke Wu, I have something to ask you. Since Yuan Hongdao deceived me under the order of the Supervisory Council, then Fan Xian is really the murderer of my son." Prime Minister Lin was very flustered.
His son was killed, but he still wanted to train the other party. Even when he was talking to Shen Qingzhou just now, he asked Yuan Hongdao to protect him. If Lin Gong saw this, he would have to live and die again.
Prime Minister Lin suddenly felt very sad. What was the point of his life? As for the position of prime minister, he didn't care much about it. It was just like what the Six Gates said, it was an open conspiracy. He also guessed that the chief judge of the Spring Examination should be Fan Xian.
Only Fan Xian would be willing to give up his position in order to train him. Even if he doesn't train him now, the thing has already happened. His position is 100% gone. He really did replace someone, but he didn't kill anyone.
"Although I have a grudge against the Fan family, it is related to the credibility of my Six Gates list, and Lin Gong was not killed by Fan Xian." After Shen Qingzhou said this, Lin Wan'er and Fan Xian breathed a sigh of relief. However, Prime Minister Lin's scheming was among the top ten in the world, so he naturally discovered that Shen Qingzhou was doing this on purpose.
"He learned from clues that Lin Gong was the man behind the assassination on Niulan Street. Because of the princess's relationship, he thought about it for a day and decided to take revenge.
However, during the journey, he was intercepted by the Grand Master, knocked unconscious and sent back to the mansion. Later, the Grand Master chased after Lin Gong and his group and killed them all."
Shen Qingzhou has no intention of hiding anything. It will be exposed soon anyway. Prime Minister Lin is the most angry now. If it is exposed later, don't calm down. That would be bad.
He just wanted to make the alliance between Lin Xiang and Fan Xian fail. He was the most impulsive when he just found out the truth. If he knew it later, thinking that he and his daughter were in love and he was good to his eldest son, he might be helpless and could only help him.
In movies and TV dramas, people should have guessed what happened to Prime Minister Lin later, but nowadays, definitely not much is known.
"The grandmaster killed someone." A group of people looked at him strangely, and one of them was here. Hong Sixiang suddenly found that Lin Ruofu was looking at him, alas.
"Thank you, Duke Wu, for clearing up my doubts." Prime Minister Lin did not ask who the grand master was, nor did he ask anything else. Just the fact that Shen Qingzhou could speak was already helpful.
"That's not necessary. Minister Lin may have forgotten that the reason I solved the mystery was that Minister Lin entrusted the case to my Six Gates. I will investigate the matter personally, and the day of solving the case is today." Shen Qingzhou said.
Many people think that Shen Qingzhou is crazy. You are already a grandmaster, and you still dare to do this. You are too proud.
"Your Majesty, I have an unreasonable request. It is said that the marriage between Wan'er and the young master of the Fan family was arranged by the parents and the matchmaker. Since my son Lin Gong is involved in the matter, I beg Your Majesty to revoke the order and cancel the marriage. The girl of my Lin family will not marry into the Fan family." Prime Minister Lin did something that was reasonable.
The matter became a big deal, and the eldest princess was very happy. The inner treasury was taken back just like that. Fan Xian and Lin Wan'er were horrified.
"Wan'er, don't forget how good your second brother has been to you." Lin Wan'er was about to say something when the eldest princess reminded her.
However, many people are a little curious about who Wan'er is and what her engagement is with the young master of the Fan family. The princess is a member of the Lin family, and the top leaders know this, but ordinary people don't.
