Chapter 600 What Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu

In the summer of the fourth year of Qingli, there was a loud thunder in the sky, and a big star appeared on the outskirts of Kyoto and crashed into Lin's manor.

Suddenly, people could see far and near, and the fire shone brightly in the sky. The earthquake was felt for more than a hundred miles, and the palace was also heard. Not approachable.

The Supervisory Yuan hurriedly reported the matter, and when they looked up, they felt that the power of heaven was vast but the human power was insignificant, so they called it a punishment from heaven. They went to Honglu Temple to prepare relevant matters urgently. They planned to burn incense and bathe in three days, and then go to the Qing Temple to worship heaven.

…

…

It's night in Fan Mansion, Kyoto.

Fan Xian paced back and forth in the room, looking a little anxious.

Suddenly, the bedroom window quietly opened, and two figures emerged from it, landing in front of the window lightly.

Fan Xian immediately turned his head, saw the two familiar faces, and quickly strode forward.

"Brother Mu, Uncle Wu Zhu, you are finally back!"

"Do you know what happened outside the city today? There was a meteorite suddenly..."

Before Fan Xian could finish speaking, Wu Zhu put down the body he was carrying on his shoulders.

Fan Xian stopped, looked at the unconscious man at his feet and said blankly, "Who is he?"

Wu Zhu said slowly: "The second young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lin Gong."

"...Second brother-in-law?!" Fan Xian looked surprised and couldn't help but ask, "Why did you kidnap him back?"

Wu Zhu said calmly: "He is the mastermind of the Niulan Street assassination case."

As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue, causing Fan Xian to freeze on the spot and remain motionless for a long time.

After a long time, Fan Xian asked in a difficult tone: "What do you mean?"

Ya Mu walked out from behind Wu Zhu and explained softly: "Wu Bo'an appears to be hovering between the crown prince and the second prince, but in fact he has secretly taken refuge with his old friend from his youth, the current prime minister Lin Ruofu."

"The real culprit you asked about from Si Lili is actually an aide of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Fan Xian came back to his senses, suppressed the shock in his heart, frowned and asked, "How did you know such secret news?"

Yamu sighed: "Of course I saw it with my own eyes."

Wu Zhu nodded and said: "I got Wu Bo'an's name today, so I went to investigate and found that he was picked up by the Prime Minister's motorcade in the early morning and sent to a manor on the outskirts of Kyoto."

"I came to the bookstore to look for you, but I was stopped by Mu Ya. He said he wanted to go with me, and I agreed."

"Then we went to the manor and met Wu Bo'an and Lin Gong there..."

Fan Xian was still immersed in the shock of "My second brother-in-law wants to kill me" and did not connect the matter with the meteorite.

He quickly asked: "What about Wu Bo'an?"

Wu Zhu said calmly: "He is already dead. I killed him."

Yamu added: "And not just Wu Bo'an, all the security forces in the manor were killed by the fifth brother. Now, no one knows about this except the second young master Lin Gong at your feet."

Wu Zhu glanced at him and emphasized: "I said, I only killed Wu Bo'an. They wanted to block the way. It's not my fault."

Yamu shook his head and said, "Everyone is his own master. I don't blame you."

While the two were talking, Fan Xian seemed to suddenly remember something. His eyes widened and he looked at the two of them in disbelief.

"Wait... wait!" Fan Xian swallowed and asked in a difficult tone, "Is the manor you are going to under Lin Gong's name, and is it only about eighteen miles away from Kyoto?"

Wu Zhu nodded and said, "That's right."

Fan Xian's eyes immediately widened: "What happened to the meteorite?!"

He saw the secret report from the Overwatch Council and felt the strong shock, so he almost went to watch it in person.

So he was very sure that the meteorite thing was true, and from Wu Zhu's description, the place where it fell seemed to be the manor they were heading to!

Facing Fan Xian's nervous and puzzled gaze, Wu Zhu remained silent for a long time and slowly shook his head.

"...I don't understand either."

Yamu coughed twice and said seriously: "We killed Wu Bo'an in that manor and took away Lin Gong. Not long after we left, we discovered that a meteorite flew from the sky and landed in the center of the manor."

Fan Xian's eyes widened: "What a coincidence?"

Yamu nodded and said, "Yes, I was also shocked at the time."

Fan Xian stared and remained silent for a long time, feeling a sense of collapse deep in his heart that he didn't know whether it was shock or humor.

"...Big Meteor Technique, right? What about Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu?"

Fan Xian couldn't help but complain.

Yamu looked at his expression and calmly changed the subject: "Leaving aside the incident itself, this is also a good thing for us."

"According to my observation, the meteorite was not small in size. After it fell, the entire manor was razed to the ground and all traces were destroyed. No one can know what happened in the manor."

"Even if you decide to kill Lin Gong now, no one will think of you."

As soon as these words came out, Fan Xian was successfully changed the topic.

"Kill Lin Gong?" Fan Xian was stunned for a moment and frowned, "Why should I kill him?"

Wu Zhu said calmly: "Because he planned the assassination on Niulan Street, and because he wanted to kill you."

Fan Xian's expression changed slightly, and he finally began to put his thoughts back on this shocking truth.

The person who wanted to kill him was actually not the prince or the second prince, but his second brother-in-law...

Now Fan Xian was in a bit of trouble.

He originally wanted to do what Wang Qinian persuaded him to do, and before he tracked down the real mastermind, he would severely punish the spokesperson of the mastermind to show that he was not someone to be trifled with.

But now, Wuzhu and Yamu actually brought the mastermind directly to him.

Although there are still some doubts about this mastermind, according to Wuzhu's description of the scene, it must be this person who directly planned the assassination.

"How could it be Wan'er's brother..."

Fan Xian looked at the unconscious Lin Gong on the floor with a sad face, struggling in his heart, not knowing how to deal with it.

Yamu saw this scene, sighed in his heart, and said: "Fan Xian, how about this, we lock him up first, you think carefully tonight, whether to let him go or kill him, and give a definite answer tomorrow."

"...Okay."

Fan Xian nodded slowly, still tangled in his heart.

Wuzhu turned around and carried Lin Gong, and left the room with Yamu.

In the dark night, the two stood on the roof of Fan's house.

Wu Zhu said coldly: "I have said that Fan Xian cannot make a decision. Taking Lin Gong away will definitely be a failure."

Ya Mu glanced at him: "Don't worry, whether it is a failure or not, wait two days and see."

Wu Zhu looked at him silently, without replying, turned around and took Lin Gong away.

……

……

At the same time, Prime Minister Lin Ruofu entered the palace overnight to meet the emperor.

"Prime Minister Lin, I will not say anything extra, just take a look for yourself!"

As he said, Emperor Qing handed the memorial from the Supervisory Council to Lin Ruofu.

Seeing this scene, Lin Ruofu's heart skipped a beat, and a sense of foreboding rose faintly.

Immediately afterwards, he thanked the emperor for his grace, and then took the memorial with both hands, and read it with a slightly gloomy face.

The content of the memorial is very long. To put it simply, the Supervisory Council discovered the truth about Wu Bo'an's assassination plan, and followed the trail to the manor outside Kyoto.

However, at this time, the manor had been destroyed by the meteorite, and all traces were violently buried. Even a professional supervisory commission could not find any clues and traces from the scene after the meteorite crash.

However, the Supervisory Commission still discovered that the second son of the Xiangfu, Lin Gong, was missing.

Combined with the ownership of this manor, the Supervisory Commission reasonably inferred that Lin Gong might have been buried under the meteorite with Wu Bo'an...

Seeing this, Lin Ruofu's fingers holding the memorial trembled.

But soon, he calmed down, finished reading the rest of the content, and then closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, Lin Ruofu had become expressionless, as if he had become the powerful Lin Xiang again.

"Your Majesty!" Lin Ruofu knelt down and bowed his hands, his movements were vigorous and powerful, as if he was not affected by the pain of losing his son at all. "Wu Bo'an colluded with the Northern Qi spies and assassinated the son of an important official of the court. He deserved this punishment from heaven."

"..."

Emperor Qing sat on the dragon bed, glanced at him, and said lightly: "What about your son?"

Lin Ruofu replied without changing his expression: "My son is young and ignorant, and he has always liked to make friends with knights, and he has been infected with a lot of chivalrous atmosphere."

"In my opinion, maybe Wu Bo'an deceived my son with words, and out of the so-called loyalty, my son helped and helped this thief escape from Kyoto!"

"Oh?" Qing The emperor raised his eyebrows and asked with interest, "So you didn't know about it?"

Lin Ruofu said solemnly: "If I knew about it, it would be impossible for Wu Bo'an to escape from the capital, and it would be even more impossible to place him in the manor under the name of the Lin family as reported in the memorial."

"Well, that makes sense."

Emperor Qing nodded, looked at him with a smile and said: "You old fox, although you are a little treacherous, you have always been sophisticated and smooth in doing things, and there is no way you would make such a mistake."

"So it seems that this matter was indeed done by Lin Gong and Wu Bo'an without telling you..."

Lin Ruofu's eyes moved slightly, and he immediately knelt on his knees and kowtowed to pay homage.

"My son has been wronged and deceived. Your Majesty, please understand!"

"..."

Emperor Qing frowned, looked at Lin Ruofu's kneeling back and said lightly: "Are you trying to let me deceive the heaven and exonerate your son?"

Lin Ruofu crawled on the ground, without raising his head, and replied: "I dare not, but the dead are the greatest, and the matter of heaven's punishment has not yet been determined. I beg Your Majesty to keep the dead secret so that I can send the child to heaven in peace."

"What a good one that has not yet been determined!"

Emperor Qing sneered: "Lin Ruofu, you dare to disrespect even the heaven for your son?"

Lin Ruofu did not reply, but seeing that he was still crawling on the ground, it seemed that he had responded silently.

Emperor Qing narrowed his eyes, looked at him for a while, and suddenly sighed, "Alright, get up!"

"I will let the Supervisory Office continue to investigate your son's matter. Don't be too sad. Don't rush to hold the funeral. The Supervisory Office has not yet found your son's body from the place where the meteorite fell. Maybe... he is not dead yet!"
