Chapter 599 Meteorite Falls From the Sky
"He's in such a hurry to leave the city, it must be him!"
Fan Xian showed a hint of coldness on his face: "Wang Qinian, can you find out where he went?"
Wang Qinian hesitated and said: "This... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."
"Even if it's difficult, we have to find out!" Fan Xian glanced at him and said coldly, "Since the one who planned this case is not the crown prince or the second prince, then I don't need to worry too much. I must catch him and hit him with one punch to avoid a hundred punches!"
Wang Qinian blinked and said cautiously: "Sir, you can't make a conclusion so early, right?"
Fan Xian frowned and stared at him for a while. He asked, "Do you have any more information?"
Wang Qinian smiled and bowed: "My Lord, you are so good at predicting things. I do have some news."
As he spoke, Wang Qinian took two steps closer and whispered, "My Lord, when you were interrogating Si Lili in the Tianlao, the Dean was also taking action. The officials of the Supervisory Office were divided into two groups and went to the Patrol City Office and the South City General's Mansion to conduct inspections. As a result, they found that Patrol City General Fang had committed suicide out of fear of crime!"
"...What?"
Fan Xian looked at Wang Qinian in astonishment, and then frowned tightly.
Wang Qinian continued to whisper: "Sir, think about it, this lieutenant general Fang committed suicide out of fear of crime, which means that there is another big man behind Wu Bo'an."
Fan Xian said lightly: "I know this, but I still want to investigate."
Wang Qinian carefully persuaded: "Then I suggest that we investigate Wu Bo'an first, and don't touch the big man behind him for the time being..."
"..."
Fan Xian glanced at him, said nothing, and just waved his hand gently.
Wang Qinian sighed in his heart, bowed, turned around and jumped onto the roof, disappearing from Fan Xian's sight.
……
……
At the same time, in the manor about 18 miles outside of Kyoto.
In the manor, the snow-capped peaks on Cangshan Mountain can be seen from afar. Even though it is early summer, the manor is still very cool. The grape racks in the yard have already spread their green leaves, looking green and refreshing.
Under the grape racks, a middle-aged man in a white shirt was sitting leisurely.
Opposite him, there was a young man with a long sword on his waist.
Looking at the smiling young man in front of him, the middle-aged man said with a slight reproach: "Second Young Master, you shouldn't have come."
Lin Gong smiled slightly and said very politely: "Mr. Wu is forced to leave Kyoto, so my nephew will naturally come to see him off."
Wu Bo'an shook his head and reproached: "It's too risky. The world doesn't know the relationship between me and the Prime Minister's Mansion. If people see you and I in the same place, I'm afraid your father will find it very difficult to get away."
Lin Gong shook his head and said: "Father is not aware of the plan that Mr. and I have made. If it is really known, I will take full responsibility!"
... Take full responsibility?
Do you really think you can afford it?
Wu Bo'an shook his head in his heart, and he was quite disapproving of the words of the second young master.
But there was no way. If he wanted to accomplish this, he could only rely on the second young master who was not very smart.
After all, when he first told this plan, he was strongly opposed by Prime Minister Lin Ruofu. It was still relying on the second young master to contact him that the assassination on Niulan Street was successfully implemented.
Unfortunately, no one expected that Fan Xian would have such a high level of martial arts.
Under such a terrifying attack, he actually escaped and killed an eighth-rank master of Northern Qi!
This incident was beyond everyone's expectations. Fortunately, the situation was still under control. The lieutenant general in the south of the city had been killed by him. Even if the Supervisory Office found out that he was behind it, it would be impossible to find out about the prime minister.
Thinking of this, Wu Bo'an was relieved and hurriedly urged: "Second Master, I think you should return to Beijing as soon as possible. I will go to Laoshan to practice for a while, and wait until the turmoil in the capital is over, and then come back quietly."
"No problem!"
Lin Gong said proudly: "Let the gentleman know that I have been running this manor for a long time. Even if someone from the palace or the Supervisory Office comes, they will never catch the gentleman here."
"What's more, you and I are acting so secretly, who knows that you and I are here?"
Before the voice fell, a faint voice suddenly sounded in the ears of the two.
"If you say too much, you will be slapped in the face."
"...Who is it?!"
Wu Bo'an stood up suddenly, and looked around with Lin Gong in doubt.
"Look, I'm here."
A faint voice came from above their heads, and Wu Bo'an and Lin Gong immediately stepped back and looked up at the top of the grape trellis.
On the slender grape trellis, a young man in a black shirt was holding his chest with his hands, looking down at them with a cold expression.
"Shua——"
Lin Gong immediately drew the sword at his waist and shouted: "Come here!"
"Bang!"
The wall of the yard shattered, and a figure flew out and fell heavily to the ground.
When the man rolled on the ground for a few times and stopped at Lin Gong's feet, vomiting blood without breathing, Lin Gong was shocked and angry to find that this person was actually the strongest eighth-grade swordsman around him!
"How is this possible?!"
Lin Gong suddenly raised his head and looked at the broken wall.
He saw a blind man walking out of it, with a black cloth covering his eyes and holding an iron rod in his hand. There was blood flowing down the rod and dripping slowly along the tip of the rod.
Seeing this scene, Lin Gong was extremely chilled.
He couldn't help but take a few steps back, looking at Wu Zhu and Ya Mu on the grape trellis, he shouted in fear: "Who are you?!"
"I am the second son of the Xiangfu. If you have anything to say, we can talk it out!"
Wu Zhu did not answer, but rushed over like a ghost.
Lin Gong was shocked and yelled, raising the long sword in his hand and slashing at Wu Zhu.
Before the long sword fell, the figure standing on the grape trellis came to Lin Gong as if teleporting, and kicked him in the chest.
"Bang!"
The second son of the Xiangfu flew backwards in an instant and hit Wu Bo'an backwards.
The two rolled into a ball, rolling on the ground for several rounds before stopping, groaning on the ground with their hands and feet entangled.
Yamu didn't even look at them, but just held Wuzhu's iron rod with one hand and shook his head, saying, "You can't kill this man for now."
Wuzhu frowned: "Why?"
Yamu explained softly: "He is Fan Xian's second brother-in-law. If we kill him, it will be difficult to explain to Fan Xian."
Wuzhu said expressionlessly: "But he wants to kill Fan Xian. I said, whoever kills Fan Xian, I will kill him."
Yamu shook his head and said, "Then take him away and let Fan Xian decide his life or death."
Wuzhu frowned and said, "Fan Xian can't make such a decision, I need to do it for him."
"Besides, if we kill him here, no one will know, and Fan Xian will not be in any danger, but if we take him away, no matter whether Fan Xian kills him in the end, he will inevitably get into trouble."
Yamu understood what he meant. It was indeed not a wise decision to hand Lin Gong over to Fan Xian.
If Fan Xian decided to let Lin Gong go, let alone whether Lin Gong would hold a grudge, Wuzhu and Yamu, who had already appeared in front of Lin Gong, would be exposed to everyone's vision because of this matter.
If Fan Xian chooses to kill Lin Gong, he will definitely feel bad, and his relationship with Lin Wan'er will become extremely awkward.
Not only that, if they fail to bring Lin Gong's body back here in time, the Supervisory Office will definitely find that there is a missing body here when it tracks down this manor in the future.
By then, the Xiangfu will definitely not give up, and will definitely track down to the end, and will find the person alive or dead.
Therefore, in Wu Zhu's analysis, killing Lin Gong and Wu Bo'an in this manor by himself and disguising himself as someone else is the best choice among countless options.
In comparison, Yamu's choice is the worst one.
He seems to respect Fan Xian's decision, but in fact he has no overall view. He can only see the case itself and cannot see the subsequent impact.
But what Wu Zhu doesn't know is that Yamu is actually very clear about what he analyzed.
He just doesn't care...
Ya Mu said calmly: "It's okay, I will take care of the aftermath for you."
"...How?"
"In my own way. If you are worried, you can stay and watch."
"..."Wu Zhu stared at Ya Mu for a while, and suddenly walked towards Lin Gong and Wu Boan, "Remember your words."
A smile appeared on Ya Mu's face.
At the same time, Wu Boan and Lin Gong had separated, each stood up from the ground in a mess, and looked at Wu Zhu who was walking slowly in horror.
"This warrior..."
Lin Gong trembled and spoke, but before he finished, a black shadow attacked him instantly and hit him on the head.
Lin Gong's head shook, and he fainted completely without a hum.
Wu Boan, who was standing next to him, felt a strong sense of despair. He took a few steps back, forced a smile, and said as steadily as possible: "Brave man, there may be some misunderstanding here. I, Wu Boan, have a wide range of friends in the capital and have a lot of connections. If..."
"Puff--"
Before he finished speaking, the black iron rod instantly pierced his heart, and then pulled it out again without hesitation.
Wu Zhu shook the iron rod in his hand, without even looking at the fallen Wu Boan, turned his head and looked at Ya Mu calmly: "I have killed the man, I will take Lin Gong back to Fan Xian, how do you plan to deal with the aftermath?"
Ya Mu looked at the sun that was about to set in the sky, and then turned his head to look at Wu Zhu.
"Take Lin Gong away first, at least five miles away."
Wu Zhu nodded slightly, without asking why, turned around and grabbed Lin Gong's collar, and carried him out of the manor.
After Wu Zhu left the manor, Ya Mu swept his eyes and locked onto Cangshan Mountain not far away, and his feet slowly floated off the ground.
"Bang!!"
The air exploded, and a stream of light broke through the sound barrier and flew towards Cangshan at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to capture.
Ten seconds later, a huge roar came from Qingshan.
Ten seconds later, a huge meteorite appeared above the manor, and it was now falling towards the ground at several times the speed of sound.
"Boom!!"
The meteorite fell to the ground, and the entire green manor was easily razed to the ground.
The strong shock wave spread with smoke and dust, and instantly rushed five miles away, blowing on Wuzhu, who looked stunned, as if the entire system had crashed and the CPU was completely unable to turn.
