Arriving in the study, Fei Wuji, Xue Zhong and Wu Sheng sat down. There was a moment of silence, which made the atmosphere very depressing.
Wu Sheng still spoke: "First of all, Xue Zhongxing and I would like to express our condolences for the loss of our beloved son, and please express our condolences."
Fei Wuji nodded slightly and said expressionlessly: "Thank you both for walking."
Xue Zhong looked at his face that suddenly looked extremely old, and couldn't help feeling pity. Fei Wuji has many sons, but only Fei Hong has the talent for cultivation. He is now at the peak of senior Qi refining, and only with the talent for cultivation can he reach a high position in the future.
In the Chu State, if you want to be among the top ministers, you have to refine the gods, and if you are in charge of state affairs, you have to refine the emptiness. This is an unwritten rule, otherwise you will not be able to convince all parties.
Fei Wuji was the most trusted minister of the King of Chu, so why couldn't he be in charge of the post of Commander Yin? It's because he is only in the God Refining Realm.
Zhaoyuan is the Sanlu doctor, ranking behind Fei Wuji. Why is he recognized as the next generation of Ling Yin? It's because he entered the realm of refining the void.
In the disputes between princes, strength must speak for itself after all. Being in power in a big country is not about practicing weakness. Even if you go out to make alliances, you will naturally be inferior to others!
So Fei Hong was Fei Wuji's hope. Now that hope is shattered, what should Fei Wuji do?
Wu Sheng said: "Fei Shaofu, please cheer up. The next conversation may be the direction for us to solve the case. Fei Shaofu must go all out."
Fei Wuji stared at Wu Sheng, was silent for a moment, and took a deep breath: "Okay, Sun Xingxing, please speak."
Wu Sheng said: "Fei Hong got married and asked Yangzhou left disciple Cui Ming for Yan Luoshan. I wonder if it was his own intention or yours, young master's?"
As soon as this sentence was asked, Xue Zhong couldn't help but his heart beat wildly, and he said, Sun Wu, what are you doing? Isn’t this taking the initiative to bring trouble to ourselves? This, this, this... oh, I'm going to die, I'm going to die...
Fei Wuji was also stunned, blinking for a moment not knowing what to say.
After waiting for him for a moment, Wu Sheng pressed him: "Master Fei, if there is something hidden, it is not time to hide it. This matter is very important in finding the murderer. Our academy is investigating the case. If we can't find any clues for a while, , let’s put the case itself aside for the time being and take a look at the impact of the case.”
Fei Wuji asked, "What do Sun Xingxing say?"
Wu Sheng said solemnly: "Everything must achieve a goal, except for madmen. If it is really a madman, it is impossible to complete such a meticulous assassination. So I was thinking just now. If we want to talk about recent events, it is undoubtedly that Fei Zuoshi is about to get married. , and replacing Yan Luoshan, who benefits the most from this matter?"
Xue Zhongxin has finished speaking, aren't you and me the ones who benefit the most?
Fei Wuji kept stroking his beard and looked at Wu Sheng in confusion, but still didn't answer.
Wu Sheng continued: "If we investigate the case from the perspective of benefiting the most, Cui Ming, the left disciple of Yangzhou, is currently the most suspect. Of course, I and Xue Xingxing, who were the middlemen for him, are also more or less suspect. This It doesn't matter, you can check it all, and I will give an explanation to the young master. But sometimes, the size of the benefit cannot be measured purely in terms of money, especially when you have reached Fei's status. So I came up with two The first is to destroy the marriage between the Fei family and the Jing family, who will benefit; the second is to sow discord between Fei Shaofu and the Academy, who will benefit?"
Xue Zhong's eyes lit up, and he secretly gave Wu Sheng a thumbs up - As expected of Brother Sun, I am convinced!
Wu Sheng added: "Asking for Yanluoshan is a very strange thing in itself. Yanluoshan is four hundred miles away from the capital of Ying, and it is a fiefdom that has only been developed for two years. Under normal circumstances, Fei Zuo envoys a nobleman from the capital of Ying. , how do you know this fiefdom? Why are you so interested in this fiefdom? If the young master knows anything about the subsequent roots, please be sure to tell me."
Fei Wuji really entered a state of deep thought, but after thinking for a long time, he still did not answer. Instead, he said: "Sun Xingxing, please continue."
Wu Sheng sighed softly: "Young Master may have something unspeakable, or may not know about it. In this case, there is no other way. We can only search carefully and interrogate strictly, a two-pronged approach."
Wu Sheng and Xue Zhong left Fei Wuji's study, but Fei Wuji still stayed in the room, wondering what he was thinking about.
Xue Zhong asked: "Brother Sun, I think it is very possible to destroy the marriage between the Fei family and the Jing family."
Wu Sheng said: "But Doctor Fei doesn't want to say anything, so we can only ask and investigate at the same time. Please ask Brother Xue to conduct the inquiry, and I will search Fei's house, okay?"
Xue Zhong nodded: "Then do as you said, a two-pronged approach. Later I will ask Bo Pi to send over the list he made, and Xue will ask one by one!"
Wu Sheng reminded him: "Don't be anxious, take your time."
The questioning began quickly. First of all, a group of friends who had close contact with Fei Hong were invited to Fei's house one by one to be interrogated by Xue Zhong. The cross-examination gradually deepened, gradually evolved from questioning to interrogation, and gradually became more severe. Some of them were really ignorant, so some punishment methods were inevitably used. From the east courtyard of Fei Mansion, the sounds of ghosts crying and wolf howling were heard from time to time.
Bo Pu is responsible for providing the list of people to talk to. The list has actually been drawn up. All you need to do is go and invite people according to the list. He will check it after arriving at Fei Mansion.
Xue Zhong's conversation was in full swing, and Bo Pi at the second door had been waiting for a long time. He was about to ask why the next person hadn't come, but he saw that the guest of Que's family who had invited someone came back again, but he didn't bring anyone back.
Bo Po asked: "Where are the people?"
The retainer replied: "Mr. Dou is not in Yingdu. He has something to do at home, so he left Yingdu early this morning."
Bo Pu sneered: "When we were drinking last night, I didn't see him mention that he left Yingdu early today?"
The guest patted his arms and waved his fingers. Bo Pu was relieved: "Since you're not here, forget it... Go to Jiang Yezhe's house quickly."
So the retainers continued to work hard, hiring people one by one according to the list given by Bo Pu. For those who are not here, there are indeed extenuating circumstances, so be tolerant and don’t come over. For those who don’t invite you and don’t appreciate them, I’m sorry. Ting Si will come to the door, block the door, and hide them under the bed for you. Find it out.
The search on Wu Sheng's side was also going on intensively, starting from the roof beams, searching the gardens, rockeries, and pools, focusing on checking whether any traces were left on the walls of the courtyard.
After searching all night, no clues were found, which caused a lot of trouble for the Fei family.
The next day, Mrs. Zhao finally woke up and started crying and making a fuss in the back house. Wu Sheng had to be summoned to her bedside to explain the progress of the case in detail. After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao looked at the people in her house and felt that everyone was a traitor. She asked Wu Sheng to put aside all worries and take action when it was time to take action. He deserved to be beaten to death. She had the final say in everything.
After struggling like this for another day, even the King of Chu sent someone to ask questions, so Wu Sheng asked Xue Zhong: "Brother Xue, what's going on here?"
"I asked a lot of trivial questions, but I don't have any clues." As he said that, Xue Zhong stretched out three fingers and shook them, saying: "It's almost done, let's use the talisman."
