It’s August 14th, and there’s still one day left before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Fang Xu, Zhang San and others escorted Chen Kan to the Imperial Academy in full force.
As soon as they entered the Hall of Justice and sat down, Li Tong came up and whispered: "Brother Chen, they are all spreading rumors that Wu Lun disappeared because he offended you, is it true?"
Chen Kan asked in surprise: "Wu Lun is missing?"
Li Tong was a little surprised: "Don't you know?"
"I do not know!"
Chen Kan was a little confused. Yesterday after he came out of Suixingtang, he climbed over the wall and fled. How could he know what happened next in the Imperial College?
"Why did Wu Lun disappear?"
Li Tong looked around and then said: "Yesterday afternoon, Wu Lun was ordered to drop out of school by Dr. Si Ye on the grounds of misconduct, and he disappeared in the evening."
Chen Kan pondered: "That doesn't prove that Wu Lun is missing. Maybe he has gone home?"
Li Tong shook his head and said, "No, he just disappeared because no one saw Wu Lun going out yesterday."
Chen Kan couldn't help but smile. Who stipulated that you must go through the main gate when leaving the Imperial College.
I've been trying to circumvent the firewall for several days, but no one has noticed, right?
Chen Kan spread his hands and said with a smile: "Whether he is missing or not has anything to do with me. It can't be that I hid it."
Li Tong said matter-of-factly: "Some people really said that. They said that you used to be a Jin Yiwei. Maybe Wu Lun was silenced by you."
"It's all rumors. I didn't see him yesterday afternoon."
It was normal for college students to run away from school, but Chen Kan didn't take it too seriously.
He just thought it was a casual chat with Li Tong and stopped paying attention.
After lunch, Chen Kan was ready to climb over the wall and go out as usual.
Today is August 14th, and he and the cute girl with big eyes have made an appointment to meet at Linggu Temple.
But as soon as he came out of the cafeteria, a scholar in green shirt stopped Chen Kan and said, "Brother Chen, Liu Siye asked you to go there."
After passing the message, the scholar ran away as if he had seen a ferocious beast.
Si Ye is the second-in-command of the Imperial College. In Xie Jin's absence, Si Ye Liu Xiong has the final say in the Imperial College.
"Liu Xiong, what are you doing with me?"
Chen Kan muttered, turned around and walked towards the Imperial Palace.
Fang Xiaoru was a member of the Tianwen Sect, and his disciples were all over the world, but there were also people he couldn't deal with.
Liu Xiong is one of them.
But Liu Xiong is also a great scholar, so he shouldn't embarrass his descendants, right?
Arriving at the door of Liu Xiong's mansion, Chen Kan knocked politely.
"come in!"
Liu Xiong's rich voice sounded.
Chen Kan walked into the door, and the figure behind the court bent down and said, "Student Chen Kan, I have met Master Liu. I wonder what Master Liu called the student to come here. What do you mean?"
Liu Xiong is a man in his late fifties, with gray hair and a long beard that reaches his chest.
A pair of bright eyes on his handsome face.
He looked at Chen Kan, frowned slightly, and then unfolded.
Asked: "Are you Chen Kan?"
Chen Kan said: "Yes!"
Liu Xiong walked up to Chen Kan with his hands behind his back, and the two looked at each other.
Liu Xiong said: "I called you here because I wanted to ask you, was it you who did what happened to Wu Lun?"
"What happened to Wu Lun?"
Chen Kan was stunned and narrowed his eyes slightly.
When Liu Xiong asked this question, he already instinctively felt that something was happening.
Liu Xiong said in a deep voice: "Wu Lun is dead. Last night at 8 o'clock, a villager reported the case to Yingtianfu Yamen, saying that a dead body was found in Nanpo Village outside the city. Yingtianfu's police officers rushed over, and after identifying him, they confirmed The deceased is Wu Lun."
Chen Kan said in surprise: "Wu Lun died in Nanpo Village. How is this possible?"
For a moment, he smelled a conspiracy.
Liu Xiong continued: "Only people from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division under your command went to Nanpo Village yesterday. It happened that Wu Lun had another conflict with you yesterday. Yingtianfu Yamen has accused you of murder and dumping the body."
"This matter was not done by students."
Chen Kan's brows furrowed tightly, someone must be trying to mess with him.
"I also thought it had nothing to do with you, so I suppressed the news that Wu Lun was dead in the Imperial College."
"Think about it for yourself, whether you have offended anyone recently."
After all, Liu Xiong is a great scholar.
There were many doubts in this matter, so he did not immediately identify Chen Kan as the murderer.
Instead, he suppressed the news that Wu Lun was dead and bought Chen Kan enough time.
Chen Kan glanced at him gratefully, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Master Liu for protecting me. The student will definitely get to the bottom of this matter and prove the student's innocence."
Liu Xiong returned to the chair and sat down. He waved gently to Chen Kan and said, "Go ahead. I also hope you are innocent."
Chen Kan turned around and left the public house with a heavy heart, muttering in his heart.
Yesterday, Shi Wen took people to Nanpo Village, where Wu Lun died in the afternoon. This seemed unusual.
His first thought was that someone was blaming the White Lotus Sect, hoping that he and the White Lotus Sect would fight to the death.
But then I thought about it, the White Lotus Sect had sent me a pledge of death, which in itself was the end of a fight to the death, so there was no point in framing the blame.
If the blame is not placed on the White Lotus Sect, then it is placed on him.
And to put the blame on him, there are a wide range of suspects.
The first is the White Lotus Sect. After they killed someone, they blamed Chen Kan.
But the question is, why do they think they can bring down Chen Kan by killing someone and framing him?
Unless the White Lotus Sect still has a force above the court that can withstand Fang Xiaoru's pressure.
But is that possible? If the White Lotus Sect really has that kind of power in the court, why not just kill him on unfounded charges?
Chen Kan's second suspect was Ji Gang.
His suspicions are very reasonable. Framing, framing, and implicating others are Jin Yiwei's housekeeping methods. It just so happens that he has a grudge against Ji Gang.
But the method of framing the blame was too obvious, as if he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to see it.
Could it be Zhang Xin?
It seems that every one of his enemies has a motive to frame him.
But if you think about it carefully, their motives are not very reasonable.
Chen Kan climbed out of the Imperial Academy wall full of doubts. Zhang San and Fang Xu immediately gathered people around him. Everyone looked like they were facing a formidable enemy.
Looking at Fang Xu and Zhang San, Chen Kan asked: "A dead body was found in Nanpo Village yesterday. Do you know?"
The two looked at each other with a look of confusion on their faces.
Looking at the expressions of the two of them, Chen Kan's heart sank.
He had a bold guess in his mind.
Someone is putting pressure on Ying Tianfu Yamen, deliberately cutting off the source of information from the Wucheng Military and Horse Division!
Otherwise, it makes no sense that the Tianfu Yamen has accused him of killing people and dumping their bodies, but the Wucheng Army and Horses Division has not received any news.
In other words, someone wants to make this case a solid case!
"Hiss~"
Chen Kan couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
I secretly thought I was lucky.
If Liu Xiong hadn't told him, he would have been imprisoned by Yingtian Mansion when he learned about Wu Lun's death.
