Chapter 237 My Lady Invites You

"Lin, Lin Wang Shizi?!"

Chen Kuishou looked at the handsome young man with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes in front of him, and his heart skipped a beat. In his heart, he had already greeted Lu Fusheng's whole family.

Although he had never seen Lin Wang Shizi, he knew that Lin Wang Shizi was not someone to be trifled with. Today, he encountered a murder case, which was actually related to Lin Wang Shizi. This Lu Fusheng, isn't it obvious that he is trying to trick him?

Chen Kuishou's heart sank slightly, but he quickly adjusted his mood. Looking at the handsome and calm young man in front of him, he bowed and said, "Your Highness, the son of the Zhou family was poisoned and died tragically. You are the only person present. Do you have anything to explain?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at Chen Kuishou. He was about thirty years old, wearing a black robe and a long sword on his waist. This person had a restrained aura and martial arts skills were probably not weak.

Secret Heaven Division?

Lin Jiangnian was not unfamiliar with this organization.

An organization that officials and people in Beijing hated and feared, similar to the Jinyiwei. At first, it was an institution established by the current emperor to strengthen his own rule. As the emperor began to retreat, the power of the Secret Heavenly Department gradually fell into the hands of the eunuchs around the emperor.

Now, the Secret Heavenly Department has almost become the minion of the old eunuch in the palace, and has become a similar existence to the East Factory.

"Isn't my explanation clear enough?"

Lin Jiangnian looked at him: "Do you also think that this prince killed the person?"

"I dare not!"

Chen Kuishou's heart sank, and he felt that this case was extremely difficult.

The son of the Zhou family was killed, and the biggest suspect was the prince of Lin. Chen Kuishou instinctively felt that something was wrong. Why did the prince of Lin kill Zhou Huiguang for no reason?

Even if he wanted to kill, how could he be so open and aboveboard?

Chen Kuishou noticed something was wrong, but he didn't find any clues at the moment. Many officials in the capital and the children of the noble families were watching and waiting for him to solve it.

But, how to solve this?

Catch the prince of Lin?

After all, he is the prince. If he dares to arrest him, he will be blamed if anything goes wrong, and he will become the target of public criticism.

But if he doesn't arrest him...

Now so many eyes are staring at him. In recent years, the Secret Department has offended many officials in Beijing. If this matter is not handled impartially, they will not miss this opportunity to attack the Secret Department.

Thinking of this, Chen Kuishou was in a dilemma. In the end, he gritted his teeth and his eyes were firm.

"Your Highness, there are still many doubts in this case that have not been investigated clearly. I will definitely find out and clear your name. However..."

"Your Highness is the only one who witnessed the death of the son of the Zhou family. If the murderer is at large, he is very likely to kill you to silence you. Please follow me back to the Secret Department. By the way, I have some details about the murder of the son of the Zhou family that I would like to ask you."

"Your Highness, what do you think?"

Chen Kuishou's answer was flawless. He used clever words to invite Lin Jiangnian back to the Secret Department.

On the one hand, it can shut up everyone, and on the other hand, it can give enough face to the prince of the Lin.

Everyone is happy.

Lin Jiangnian looked at Chen Kuishou in front of him and had to say that this man was indeed capable and talented.

As for going to the Secret Department, it was insignificant to him.

"Okay, then I'll follow you..."

Just as Lin Jiangnian nodded and was about to agree, a cold voice came from outside the crowd.

"No!"

At the same time, a graceful figure stepped into the room and spoke with a cold face.

Chen Kuishou turned around and saw a gorgeous woman.

She was wearing a white and blue slim skirt, a mink gown, and a delicate hairpin to tie up her black hair, revealing a beautiful face full of mature temperament.

The surrounding eyes were all amazed, and Chen Kuishou was also slightly moved, and quickly recognized the identity of the woman.

Jiang Yuxiang!

The fourth lady of Jiangnan Jiang family!

The... aunt of Prince Lin!

At this time, this exquisite and beautiful face was a little angry, and she stepped into the room with a cold step. The steps were light, but with a bit of peerless coldness, attracting everyone's attention.

She walked slowly to Lin Jiangnian. Lin Jiangnian looked at his aunt, who lowered her eyebrows slightly than him, with a face full of anxiety and solemnity.

"Are you okay?"

With a concerned tone, he looked Lin Jiangnian up and down.

"It's okay." Lin Jiangnian shook his head gently.

After confirming that Lin Jiangnian was okay, Jiang Yuxiang was relieved.

"You can't go with them." Then, Jiang Yuxiang said solemnly.

"Why?" Lin Jiangnian asked.

"You didn't kill anyone, why do you want to go?"

Jiang Yuxiang turned his head and glanced at Zhou Huiguang who was lying in a pool of blood not far away, with a trace of fear in his eyes.

She suddenly turned around and looked at Chen Kuishou who was standing beside her: "Chen Changqing, do you want to arrest my Jiang Nian?"

For some reason, the woman in front of him seemed to have more momentum than him. Chen Kuishou was even a little afraid to confront her. He lowered his head slightly and explained: "Miss Jiang misunderstood. We are just doing it as usual..."

"What a routine!"

Jiang Yuxiang sneered: "Why did you take my Jiang Nian back when you were investigating the case at Mi Tiansi? Or do you really think he was the murderer of the Zhou family's son?"

Faced with such an aggressive questioning, Chen Kuishou broke out in cold sweat on his back: "We have no such intention!"

"Why do you want to arrest him if you have no such intention?"

Jiang Yuxiang asked coldly: "Could it be that you want everyone in the capital to think that my Jiang Nian is the murderer who killed Zhou Huiguang?!"

She was furious.

If Lin Jiangnian is brought back to the Secret Heaven Division today, the news will definitely spread throughout the capital tomorrow. By then, even if he didn't kill Zhou Huiguang, I'm afraid not many people will believe it.

Being brought back to the Secret Heaven Division almost means that he has killed someone. Once public opinion spreads in the capital, the truth will no longer be important, and the impact at that time will be fatal!

Lin Jiangnian's reputation when he first arrived in the capital will also be completely ruined and difficult to recover.

Jiang Yuxiang will never allow this to happen!

Chen Kuishou was sweating profusely, and when he was about to explain something, he heard someone on the side say: "Lin Jiangnian is the murderer!"

Jiang Yuxiang turned his head suddenly and stared at the young man in the crowd expressionlessly: "What evidence do you have?"

The young man was stared at by Jiang Yuxiang, and subconsciously took a step back in fear.

"Still, do I need to say it? Everyone saw it, who else could it be besides him?"

"Where's the evidence?"

Jiang Yuxiang looked at him coldly.

The young man was speechless, where did he get the evidence?

But, does this still require evidence?

"When the son of the Zhou family died, he was the only one present. Who else could the murderer be if not him?"

In the crowd, an old man from aristocratic family could not help but scold.

Jiang Yuxiang sneered: "Since you didn't see it with your own eyes, how can you conclude that he is the murderer?"

The old man was angry: "You are making a fuss. Who else could the murderer be if not him?"

Jiang Yuxiang said expressionlessly: "I'm afraid you are the one making a fuss. You make a fuss without any evidence. Do you really think that my Jiang family is easy to bully?"

As he said, Jiang Yuxiang turned his head again, his eyes swept through everyone present, and then sneered: "I know that most of the people present today are smart people. Zhou Huiguang's death will be judged by justice. But if anyone dares to speak nonsense and slander, don't blame me, Jiang Yuxiang, for being ruthless!"

Silence all around.

Jiang Yuxiang stood there, with a cold tone and expressionless look, and his momentum almost shocked the whole audience.

Such a protective behavior can make many people angry.

"This Jiang Yuxiang is really a crazy woman. Does she really think this is her Jiangnan?"

"As expected of the Lin Wang Shizi's aunt, it is true that people from the same family are not from the same family..."

"She dares to threaten us, it is simply too much..."

"..."

The crowd was talking and indignant. But all the time, no one stood up to say a word of opposition.

No other.

The Jiang family is powerful in Jiangnan, and its influence in Beijing cannot be underestimated. This Jiang Yuxiang is not a good person. If you offend her, you will not have a good end.

Now Jiang Yuxiang has made it clear that she will protect the Lin Wang Shizi. Who dares to stand up at this time will offend the Jiang family and the Lin family at the same time, which is tantamount to seeking death.

Lin Jiangnian stood in place, looking at the mature and beautiful face beside him, with a dazed look.

It seems that he did not expect that this aunt would stand up at this time and stand on his side to help him almost unreasonably. She looked like she would get angry with anyone who dared to cause trouble for Lin Jiangnian.

Lin Jiangnian felt an unspeakable emotion in his heart, he sighed and shook his head: "Aunt, it's not necessary."

He was not worried, going to Mi Tiansi would not have any impact on him. He also wanted to take this opportunity to find out the murderer who killed Zhou Huiguang.

But Jiang Yuxiang obviously didn't think so. She looked back at Lin Jiangnian and snorted coldly: "You are from my Jiang family. No one can bully you except me, your aunt!"

Lin Jiangnian was silent: "Aunt, you are not afraid. Did I really kill Zhou Huiguang?"

"You won't."

Jiang Yuxiang pouted: "You don't look like such a stupid person."

"..."

"Even if you killed him..."

After a pause, Jiang Yuxiang snorted, still expressionless: "Kill him if you want!"

"With aunt here, no one can take you away!"

Obviously, Jiang Yuxiang is very protective of her child.

Lin Jiangnian's heart was somewhat moved. His cheap aunt, apart from other things, was indeed quite touching.

...

"Sir Shangshu, look..."

At this time, Chen Kuishou was also in a dilemma and couldn't help but look back at Lu Fusheng.

If it were someone else, he would be arrested.

But this Prince Lin...can't be arrested!

What's more, there is Jiang Yuxiang blocking the way now. Not to mention the consequences of offending the Jiang family, it is said that Jiang Yuxiang is close to the current queen. If he dares to do it, I'm afraid the palace will soon issue an order.

Lu Fusheng's brows were also frowned, his face was gloomy, and he looked very ugly.

Jiang Yuxiang stood in front of Lin Jiangnian, with an attitude of who dares to touch Lin Jiangnian, and the atmosphere gradually froze.

Just then, a voice came from behind the crowd, breaking the deadlock.

"Since there is no direct evidence to indicate that the murderer of the Zhou family's son is His Royal Highness the Prince of Lin, this matter should not be easily concluded."

Outside the crowd, a middle-aged old man in a gray robe slowly spoke.

"Mr. Zhao?"

Lv Fusheng was stunned for a moment, then said: "According to what Mr. Zhao said, what should we do?"

The old man who spoke was named Zhao Jing.

A member of the Zhao family in the capital!

And he has another important identity.

A close confidant of the highly respected Prime Minister Zhao in the current court, Zhao Jing has been with Prime Minister Zhao for decades and is the person closest to and most trusted by Prime Minister Zhao.

The Lu family is very happy today, and Zhao Jing came to attend the wedding on behalf of Prime Minister Zhao.

Zhao Jing's words often represent the meaning of Prime Minister Zhao. Because of this status, even Lu Fusheng had to respect him a bit.

At this time, Zhao Jing glanced at Lin Jiangnian who was not far away, and said slowly: "We don't know about this matter for the time being. It's better to wait until Mi Tiansi finds out the truth before making a decision. After all, today is a happy day for Mr. Lu. It’s better not to cause unnecessary complications..."

Lu Fusheng was silent for a moment, as if hesitating and considering something. After a while, he nodded and said, "That's fine!"

"Since Mr. Zhao has said so, we will put this matter on hold until the truth is found out."

With that said, Lu Fusheng turned back to look at Chen Kuishou. Chen Kuaishou naturally understood quickly: "According to what Lord Shangshu said, my subordinates will definitely investigate the truth and make it public!"

The people around who were originally joining in the fun looked at each other in confusion.

Just, that’s it?

No more arrests?

Li Qianlin and Gao Wenyang on the other side were extremely unwilling. Lin Jiangnian was clearly the murderer who hurt Zhou Huiguang. The evidence was conclusive, so why not arrest him?

But seeing that even Lu Shangshu and Mr. Zhao had spoken, others did not dare to speak again even if they had other ideas.

Whether it is Lu Shangshu or Mr. Zhao, the prime minister behind Mr. Zhao, they are among the best elders in the Daning Dynasty!

"..."

The crisis of a confrontation seemed to be resolved quietly as Mr. Zhao spoke.

But the matter is still far from over.

"let's go."

Seeing that the matter was over, Jiang Yuxiang finally breathed a deep sigh of relief, looked back at Lin Jiangnian, and prepared to take him away.

"That's fine."

Lin Jiangnian nodded, glanced at Lu Fusheng, and chuckled: "Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your warm hospitality today. If you are free the next day, I will come and visit Mr. Shangshu again!"

Lu Fusheng glanced at Lin Jiangnian with a complicated expression, "Your Highness Prince Lin, please walk slowly."

After Lin Jiangnian and Jiang Yuxiang left, Zhao Jing on the side also raised his hand to Lu Fusheng: "Today is a happy day for Mr. Lu's family. I am here to congratulate Mr. Lu on behalf of Prime Minister Zhao. At present, Prime Minister Zhao has important things to do, so I will take my leave first. Yes, please forgive me, Mr. Lu!"

Lu Fusheng said: "Since it is the order from Prime Minister Zhao, you should take care of your official duties!"

After Zhao Jing handed over to Lu Fusheng, he said goodbye and left.

At the same time, after seeing Zhao Jing leave, some other people present also stood up to say goodbye and left one after another.

Not long after, less than half of the people around him were missing.

Lu Fusheng stood there, his expression gradually becoming extremely ugly.

outside the manor.

"You acted so recklessly that you didn't even see the Third Prince, and you were almost tricked to death!"

In the side yard, beside the carriage, Jiang Yuxiang supported his waist with one hand and pointed at Lin Jiangnian's head with the other hand, hating that iron could not become steel.

Lin Jiangnian looked honest and obedient: "Yes, yes, my aunt taught me a lesson."

"snort!"

Jiang Yuxiang glared at him angrily, "Let's see if you still show off your strength in the future!"

Lin Jiangnian sighed: "I didn't expect him to be so cruel... He even dared to kill Zhou Huiguang."

Lin Jiangnian already had a guess as to who the murderer was.

However, there was still something that made him feel shuddering.

After all, Zhou Huiguang is also the son of the official doctor, and he is his person. Unexpectedly, I would be killed by him so cruelly...

Lin Jiangnian was indeed careless!

This time I didn’t expect his methods to be so ruthless!

Still underestimated!

Jiang Yuxiang's eyes also showed a trace of worry and fear: "He is indeed ruthless, you..."

She had to worry.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Lin Jiang young shook his head lightly.

With this lesson learned, he will no longer take chances.

At this moment, a voice came from the side, interrupting the conversation between the two.

"His Royal Highness Prince Lin?"

Lin Jiangnian and Jiang Yuxiang turned around and saw a familiar old man standing in front of them.

"Mr. Zhao?"

Jiang Yuxiang was stunned, and it was the old Mr. Zhao who was in the manor just now who appeared in front of him.

It was precisely because of his words that Lin Jiangnian and Jiang Yuxiang left the manor smoothly.

"Old sir, is something wrong?"

Lin Jiangnian asked, vaguely realizing something.

Zhao Jing looked at Lin Jiangnian and chuckled: "I have heard for a long time that His Royal Highness Prince Lin is extraordinary. When I see him today, he is indeed a talented person..."

At this point, Zhao Jing suddenly paused: "My young lady would like to invite His Highness to a party at his residence."

"I wonder, Your Highness, can you give me a favor?"

"..."
