When it was found that the person who killed Xun Yinge was Qiao Shifang, Lu Hanjiang knew that this matter was definitely not simple.
Although Mr. Meng deliberately allowed himself to be laissez-faire, Qiao Shifang's ability cannot be underestimated because nearly half of the people in the monolithic Jinyiwei can develop into their own power.
It is really unreasonable for such a guy to put himself in such a dangerous situation.
Xun Yinge was not an ordinary person. He and Master Qiao Shifang came from the same sect and were both disciples of Master Luo. It was simply unimaginable how much reputation damage Qiao Shifang would suffer by killing such a person.
But judging from Qi Yunzhou's reaction, the other party didn't know that the person who killed his poor junior brother was his other junior brother.
Lu Hanjiang's intuition told him that this matter was by no means that simple, even though he and Qiao Shifang had never had a heart-to-heart talk, and it was impossible to say a sincere word.
But as the saying goes, your enemy is the person who knows you best in the world. Lu Hanjiang once sat at the same table with Qiao Shifang and gambled.
So he still remembered that on the night of the drastic change in the Huangfu family, he and Qiao Shifang talked about the scene of the first murder. The other party undoubtedly lied, but there seemed to be merit in it.
The key to everything lies in Xun Yinge. The past is gone. Since he couldn't find out anything while he was alive, he had no choice but to pry open his mouth from his body after his death.
"My lord, my lord?"
Wu Qiming, who came in with paperwork to report on his work, looked at Lu Hanjiang who was sitting in a daze and couldn't help but shout.
"Huh?" Lu Hanjiang came to his senses, and then said calmly: "Master Wu, if you have anything to do, please tell me."
Wu Qiming took two steps forward, coughed lightly and said, "Sir, Fang Huayu's death has a huge impact. The students outside now... are very rude in their words. Do you think you want us to come forward to deal with it?"
In fact, according to Wu Qiming's original character, he would not pay attention to this kind of thing at all. There are countless scholars who have died in the hands of Jin Yiwei. They have long been used to it if they don't cause trouble in the city.
It's just that the identity of the person who died this time is more special, but that's it. If it were in the past, Wu Qiming would not care about this level of things.
The reason why he asked this question today was because Lu Hanjiang was going to become a disciple of Luo Yuanjing soon. He was thinking that Fang Huayu was a disciple of Master Na Luo after all, so they should take care of the old master's face when doing things this time.
After listening to Wu Qiming's words, Lu Hanjiang thought for a while and said warmly: "Master Wu's concerns are reasonable. Since they want an explanation, then we will give them an explanation."
With that said, Lu Hanjiang stood up, found the original document about the Fox Fairy Tower from the table, gave it to Wu Qiming, and said, "Take it, go to the cell and bring Fang Huayu out for interrogation."
Wu Qiming was stunned. After a while, he said in a humorous tone: "Sir, Fang Huayu is dead. How should we interrogate..."
Lu Hanjiang raised his head and smiled slightly: "If someone is dead, they are dead. You just take the body for interrogation."
"..." Wu Qiming fixed his gaze and lowered his head slightly. He did not dare to look directly into Lu Hanjiang's eyes, but just bowed and waited.
Lu Hanjiang continued: "Since they want to explain, we will use a confession to convict people. As for whether this confession was made by a dead person or a living person, do you think I will care? Or do you think that under the knife of Xiuchun, Who in the world dares to care?"
"...I understand the humble position." Wu Qiming bowed his head deeply and responded respectfully.
Lu Hanjiang stood with his hands behind his back and said leisurely: "If the county magistrate colludes with foreigners working in our court, let him be charged with colluding with the enemy and treason. You have people interrogate him, and then let him be imprisoned to plead guilty. That is enough. .... By the way, is there anyone else in his family?"
"Well, to tell you what, my humble position sent someone to check. County Magistrate Fang's wife, son, and daughter are all deceased, and his old house has been abandoned for a long time. I'm afraid there are no other relatives alive." Wu Qiming replied.
"There's no one at home anymore, well, then there's no need to get involved." Lu Hanjiang said lightly, walked past Wu Qiming, and was about to leave.
"I accept my order from this humble position..." After Wu Qiming responded, he hesitated, then followed Lu Hanjiang, and reminded him in a low voice: "Sir, after all, this person is Lord Luo's direct disciple. You are so disrespectful to me, is that right? ....."
Lu Hanjiang chuckled and waved his hand carelessly: "Although Mr. Luo is old, he is still far from the point where his eyesight is dim. No matter how much I go too far, the culprit is someone else. If he wants to lose his temper, he has to go first." In the palace.”
Wu Qiming bowed and there was no longer any doubt.
Lu Hanjiang looked back at him and said, "The person is dead. Instead of showing off to others, let's make good use of it and get some benefits..."
Wu Qiming naturally understands that in the past six months, Jinyiwei has shrunk its power, making many people think that they are in decline and will soon be a thing of the past.
This time Master Lu returned to the Lu family and became a disciple of Luo Fuzi, which was seen by many as a sign that the Jin Yiwei was weak and urgently needed help.
And this time they have done something extraordinary, not only can they scare those ignorant guys, but also make the brothers' ears clearer. Although they are too lazy to pay attention to those clowns, they are always disturbed by ignorant people. Everyone will feel annoyed.
Wu Qiming thought that this was because Lu Hanjiang finally couldn't stand these noisy mosquitoes and planned to intimidate them to let them know that Jin Yiwei was just too lazy to care, not that he couldn't take the knife.
In fact, although the two have worked together for many years, Wu Qiming still doesn't know Lu Hanjiang well enough.
Lu Hanjiang was not very angry. Even if he was accused of being blamed, he never took it to heart. On the contrary, the information revealed behind the incident made him more interesting.
Fang Huayu is the most important piece in this chess game. He is definitely more useful alive than dead. Not only can he become a thorn between Jin Yiwei and the Academy, but this person has also been confirmed to be absolutely immature. Wolf.
No matter how many benefits Jin Yiwei gave him, as long as the East Palace did not fall, this person would never be able to be used by them. As an opponent, Lu Hanjiang was very confident in the Crown Princess's ability to control her subordinates.
But if he dies, perhaps the conflict between the academy and Jin Yiwei will expand rapidly in a short period of time, but as long as the leaders Lu Hanjiang and Luo Fuzi are firm on this matter, time will smooth out all the scars.
Moreover, this person is very troublesome. He was previously in prison. Whether or not to release him is a big problem for Jin Yiwei.
If Lu Hanjiang were to change places and let Lu Hanjiang make the choice, he would choose to keep Fang Huayu alive, and when the time comes that is more important, he would use his special status to cause greater harm to Jin Yiwei.
However, such a key figure died in Jinyiwei's prison after all. The choice of the Crown Princess made Lu Hanjiang at least see one thing clearly.
He had always thought that everything the Crown Princess did was to prepare for the future, but now, this view seemed to be a bit wrong.
The Crown Princess seemed to value the game with him more than planning the future. She made several moves and dropped the chess pieces that were of great use without mercy.
If you don't plan for the future, you won't be able to plan for the moment. The Crown Princess's behavior really doesn't look like a behind-the-scenes planner who is scheming for the sake of great power.
But if you look at it from another angle, if the Crown Princess's goal from the beginning was Lu Hanjiang, then everything she did seems to be more reasonable.
The move of killing Fang Huayu is not the solution that maximizes profits, nor is it the most appropriate solution under the current situation, but it is the most interesting solution.
If this is the case, then the degree of division of power in the entire East Palace may be far beyond Lu Hanjiang's imagination. Not only are Luo Fuzi's academy and theirs seemingly inseparable, but the prince and the princess are also estranged from each other.
Lu Hanjiang suddenly realized that the princess who he had always thought was a secret lover might be more open-minded...and crazy than he imagined.
His Highness is the same as him. The basis for their actions is not the overall situation, but simply following their own hearts. The only difference is that Lu Hanjiang's playground is the world, while the Crown Princess wants to play with the whole world. .
