MTL - The Reborn Noble Daughter-Chapter 425 betrayal
Chapter 425 425. Betrayal
If he didn't have something important to say, he wouldn't be happy to see Liang Quanbin's old house on fire.
So he gathered his thoughts and his face became more serious than before.
"Uncle Liang, you have been recuperating here for many days and know very little about what is going on outside. His Majesty sent an imperial envoy to Jinling City specifically to take the official rations paid by the Water Transport Department this year to the southwest for disaster relief. "
"What?"
"The imperial envoy has settled in the government office of the Chengfu of our county, but you are still seriously ill and cannot afford to be exposed to the outside world. How can you receive him?"
Liang Quanbin frowned, very suspicious of the inexplicable arrival of the imperial envoy.
He knew how many tricks the Water Transport Department had, and so did Duke Wei.
How could you allow His Majesty to send an imperial envoy?
He couldn't figure this out, but what Feng Jinlin said suddenly made him realize it.
“I heard that Duke Wei was assassinated and one of his eyes was blinded by the gangsters.”
"What!"
This news shocked Liang Quanbin even more than when the imperial envoy arrived in Jinling City just now.
how come! how come!
Suddenly it occurred to me that the person who killed him was none other than Duke Wei's confidant?
Could it be...
It’s Zhu Hong!
Once he has a conjecture in his mind, many things will naturally follow his train of thought.
Looking at his alternating green and white complexion, Feng Jinlin felt satisfied.
Liang Quanbin's own thoughts were much better than his reminder. Although there was a "kindness" to save his life, once his own interests were touched, no matter what kind of king he was, self-protection was the last word.
After Liang Quanbin's expression changed from shock to silence, and then a little resentment, he slowly spoke.
“Uncle, uncle…”
Liang Quanbin came back to his senses and looked at Feng Jinlin as if he was seeing a life-saving straw.
“Who is the imperial envoy?”
“My uncle, Bai Chaoan.”
Hearing this, Liang Quanbin started to think.
The Bai family never takes sides, so he is not worried that Bai Chaoan will interact with Duke Wei in private.
However, this was not enough for him to use the evidence in his hand to bring down Duke Wei. After all, if he really did this, he would definitely be implicated.
So he needed to make a plan to convince Bai Chaoan that he didn't know about this, or that he was forced to do so.
This way you can pick yourself clean.
Even if the governor's position is not guaranteed, it is still better than losing his life.
Now Duke Wei must have thought that Zhu Hong's assassination was his problem, so he sent someone to kill him to vent his anger.
Furthermore, another thing he was worried about was that based on his understanding of Duke Wei, he must have started destroying evidence when the imperial envoy left, and he might even want to put the blame on himself.
So let's just kill someone as a scapegoat and destroy the body and eliminate all traces.
Thinking of this, his mind began to become active.
Having served in Dali Temple for so many years, he is best at retaining evidence.
Duke Wei Guogong and others must have thought that he was dead, so they destroyed the evidence unscrupulously, but forgot about the cunning rabbit's three holes. Since he dared to board the ship, he naturally had a way to save his life by destroying the ship.
So after thinking about it again and again, he said to Feng Jinlin.
“Is there any way for me to meet Mr. Bai alone?”
“What is uncle going to do?”
“Of course I have something important to report to the imperial envoy.”
“Is it related to the Zhu family?”
"Um."
The Zhu family was destroyed because of Liang Quanbin, so Feng Jinlin pretended not to know anything and spoke. "That's right. After all, the Zhu family was once one of the four major families in Jinling City. We really need to talk to my uncle about the situation. Don't worry, uncle, I will arrange for him to come over."
“Thank you, my dear nephew.”
After Feng Jinlin walked out of the yard, his first reaction was to look at Su Cheng who was hiding in the dark. The two found a private place and began to change clothes.
Since Liang Quanbin's mind began to waver, he had to encourage him again.
Let’s just talk about the role of the Zhu family’s affairs. The most important thing is to take out the evidence hidden in his hand and overthrow Duke Wei!
So after changing clothes, Su Cheng also put on a human skin mask, which Xu Lin had left behind before.
He pretended to be a subordinate of Duke Wei, so as long as he kept silent, there would be no big problem.
So, while Liang Quanbin was still thinking about what to say to Bai Chaoan in the yard, his "assassinator" came again.
"It's you!"
When Liang Quanbin saw the coming person, his eyes were filled with fear.
I want to step back, but it’s no use.
I could only sit in place and had no strength to move.
"I...it's not me, it's not me. I didn't arrange the assassination of Duke Guo."
He desperately wanted to explain, but unfortunately the other party didn't give him this chance, and the knife was aimed at his neck. Liang Quanbin was shocked.
Instinct allowed him to dodge this move, but unfortunately the injury that was much better now split open again.
The man raised his knife again to kill Liang Quanbin, but was frightened by the scream from behind and turned around.
It turned out that the chrysanthemum picker who had gone to make tea came back and happened to see this scene, so he screamed in fright.
The tea cup fell to the floor, but she did not flinch.
When the man was about to stab Liang Quanbin again, he jumped up and stood in front of him. The knife naturally hit Caiju.
“Ju’er!”
Liang Quanbin's eyes were splitting as he looked at that man, and the anger in his chest was stronger than ever before!
Immediately he pulled out a hairpin from Caiju's head and stabbed the visitor.
He stared at him fiercely and said, "It's too much! It's too much!"
Then I heard the footsteps of a guard approaching. The man's arm was injured and he couldn't get into trouble with the crowd. So he glanced at Liang Quanbin and jumped up to the roof and ran away.
Liang Quanbin covered Caiju’s wound, but unfortunately the blood spurted out.
The man died before he could say anything in the end.
Liang Quanbin watched his beloved die tragically in front of him to save him, how could he bear it!
Gong Wei was so cruel to him, not only taking his life, but also the people around him.
Chaiju is like this, and I imagine that a pair of sons and daughters in the capital will be like this too.
Hate eroded his thoughts, and he couldn't care about anything else at the moment. He went directly to the county government office under the **** of guards.
When Bai Chaoan saw him, there were blood stains on his body and his face was full of shock.
“Master Liang, what’s going on?”
Liang Quanbin ignored the politeness and immediately stepped forward and knelt on the ground, crying to Bai Chaoan with tears and runny nose.
"Master Bai, if you don't come again, I'm afraid even the lower officials won't be able to see you."
Although Bai Chaoan is only a third-rank official, he is now an imperial minister and represents Emperor Qi. Therefore, Liang Quanbin is shorter than him, so it is normal for him to be called a lower official.
Bai Chaoan had an affair with Feng Jinlin a long time ago. At this moment, he knew exactly what Liang Quanbin was doing, but he still had to pretend to have no idea on his face.
Looking at Liang Quanbin, he immediately helped him up.
