Chapter 1385 Within Reach (Additional Chapter for the Leader, I Am a Lecher!)

Zhong Xuansheng was startled.

Jiang Wang almost slipped and stepped into the pool.

With his cultivation, he would never lose control of himself. It was just that Zhong Xuansheng's mind was too fast!

He just started talking about the matter of Bei Ya Duwei. Before he even finished talking about it, Zhong Xuansheng had almost pieced together the original picture of the Changsheng Palace incident.

This made him look quite dull when he was struggling to think in Changsheng Palace.

He had to use a sentence on the left and a piece of information on the right, and communicated through two lines of communication before he figured out one, two, three, and four...

"You guessed it right." Jiang Wang did not show any surprise. With a "teachable" expression on his face, he said calmly: "Lin Youxie judged that Feng Gu's death was suicide. She believed that Feng Gu chose to commit suicide in order to bring up the case of Concubine Lei."

"Suicide?" Zhong Xuansheng thought about it carefully: "That makes sense..."

...What makes sense?

"What do you mean?" Jiang Wang calmly analyzed with him.

"Who would be so stupid as to come back to silence someone after so many years? Who would be so stupid as to provoke the emperor at this time?" Zhong Xuansheng said: "I have thought about these questions for a long time!"

"What if Feng Gu has been secretly investigating for so many years and just found the clues of the case now?" Jiang Wang was a little unconvinced.

"Feng Gu died right after the funeral, which means it's not a coincidence. Such an accurate time is enough to prove that his death must have been premeditated, not a spur-of-the-moment decision." Chong Xuansheng glanced at Jiang Wang: "Whether it was suicide or homicide, since it was premeditated, how could it be 'just discovered'?"

Jiang Wang nodded seriously: "You have a point."

Chong Xuansheng ignored his nonsense and said with some annoyance: "I should have thought of it when I saw Zheng Shangming and Lin Youxie appear at the same time. Feng Gu's death, even if it was really murder, how could these two people come to investigate... I shouldn't have asked you to go!"

"Why can't it be these two people?" Jiang Wang habitually argued.

Chong Xuansheng bit a piece of fruit angrily: "One is seeking loyalty, and the other is looking for the truth. No matter how you look at it, they shouldn't get involved in this case. Unless this case happens to satisfy them at the same time... I've been playing chess with a stinky chess player for a long time, and I don't even have this little sensitivity!"

"What stinky chess player?" Jiang Wang is very sensitive now.

"It's not the Horse-faced King, hum hum..." Chong Xuansheng ate the fruit and mumbled, then asked: "Want one?"

"No." Jiang Wang had no intention of eating, and walked by the pool: "Oh, by the way, before Feng Gu died, Lin Youxie also received a dissecting knife, which was used by Lin Kuang in the past. So she would find a way to participate in this case."

Chong Xuansheng held the half-bitten fruit in his hand and paused: "So that's it!"

Jiang Wang:?

How so?

What? You just so!

In the end, he only asked in a profound way: "Oh?"

"The Thousand Beauties of Various Countries" records that whenever Emperor Wu of Qi encountered complicated situations such as harem competition for favor and beauties forcing the emperor to abdicate, he would ask back before figuring out the situation... "Oh?"

This made him seem calm and clear-minded. He also turned the tables and took control of the situation, and was able to quietly obtain information from the other party and find out the actual situation...

It was really a great move!

Chong Xuansheng didn't think too much about it, and said casually: "I originally thought that Feng Gu was admirable in spirit and pitiful in wisdom, but I didn't say it directly considering your mood. Now I think that he is not completely brainless."

"Oh?" Jiang Wang asked again.

Chong Xuansheng had long been cultivated with patience by Jiang Wang, and explained seriously: "The assassination of Concubine Lei was unresolved at that time for historical reasons."

Jiang Wang nodded and motioned him to continue with a reserved manner.

Chong Xuansheng said: "In the 38th year of Yuanfeng, Lord Loulan raised an army in Mingdi, and the emperor personally led the army to fight against it and won the battle... Although the battle was won, the aftermath did not stop for ten years. The assassination of Concubine Lei happened during this period, and the famous detective Lin Kuang died in the case, which caused a lot of trouble in the city... The emperor had to stabilize the situation and acquiesced to the indefinite suspension of the case."

"Lou Lan Gong?"

Jiang Wang was really curious. There was no duke in the court of Qi State, and the name of Lou Lan Gong was also unheard of.

"Due to some historical reasons, there is no hereditary duke in Da Qi. In the 38th year of Yuan Feng, there was only one duke, Lord Loulan. In his early years, Lord Loulan fought with Your Majesty in the south and the north, conquered cities and destroyed countries, and had outstanding military exploits. His reputation is not inferior to the current military god. His name has become a taboo, you don't know... Let's not talk about him first."

Zhong Xuansheng said: "In short, the assassination of Concubine Lei did not have any results that year, not because there was really no result. It was shelved for political reasons. I think Feng Gu chose to pursue the old case at this time, and he also saw the decisiveness of the emperor to directly cut Yan Tu. Da Qi is now qualified to withstand some turmoil."

Jiang Wang frowned: "Will the investigation of the assassination of Concubine Lei cause turmoil in the country?"

"At least in the 38th year of Yuan Feng. Now..." Zhong Xuansheng said: "I think unless the military god is the perpetrator, no one can shake the emperor's authority."

Jiang Wang was silent for a moment and said: "Does this mean... the emperor knows who the murderer of Concubine Lei is?"

"Who knows? The heart of the emperor is hard to predict." Chong Xuansheng said slowly: "But no matter whether the emperor knew it back then or not, since there has been no result for so many years, the current emperor certainly doesn't know it. As for whether the current emperor will know it... it depends on whether you can be an official."

Chong Xuansheng's words were a bit awkward.

Jiang Wang just said——

"Oh?"

Chong Xuansheng had completely sorted out his thoughts, and finished the fruit in his hand in two bites. He said in a relaxed tone: "First, find out the truth of the year. If the emperor should know this truth, then present it to the government hall. If the emperor should not know this truth, then present it to the emperor privately."

He smiled: "Zheng Shi is indeed sharp-eyed! Zheng Shangming is right. Seize this opportunity, and you will be the Northern Ya Commander!"

"What if you can't find it out?" Jiang Wang asked.

"How can we not find out?" Chong Xuansheng said, "As long as you agree to the conditions of Zheng Shi and his son, they will find a way to give you the truth. Even... not just them. Many people want to give you the truth."

"How to judge whether the emperor should know this truth?" Jiang Wang asked again.

"Isn't it simple? You just need to..." Chong Xuansheng thought about it, probably still felt unsafe, and changed his words: "Forget it, you can just ask me directly when the time comes, Zheng Shi and his son will also help you with reference."

Jiang Wang was silent for a moment, grinning: "Everything is delivered to me, I just need to reach out."

"Yes, just reach out." Chong Xuansheng said meaningfully: "But only because you have such value, you have the opportunity to reach out. Because you shine in Xingyueyuan, you are famous all over the world, because you have risked your life so many times, and worked so hard for so long... glory and wealth, you can now touch it."

His tone is serious: "This is what you deserve, Jiang Wang. Don't miss this opportunity."

Opportunity...

Jiang Wang silently looked at the surface of the pool.

A breeze blew by, rippling the water in the pond.

Brother Yan let it go for now.
