Xiao Tianyao was not in the capital. Su Cha didn't dare to hide some things from Lin Chujiu. What happened to Jing Chi and Tang Tang in the Northern Territory, Lin Chujiu was aware of it.
What Commander Li said, the garrison commander, Lin Chujiu understood that the emperor and Princess Fushou Zhang not really accusing her of nothing. Jing Chi tried to kill Princess Fushou Zhang because she tied the teenager, Tang Tang.
What a b.l.o.o.d.y thing is this!
Lin Chujiu was depressed inside her heart, but she also knew that she shouldn't recognize this. No matter what, she can't let the imperial guards search Xiao w.a.n.gfu. Or she can't leave them alive.
After Commander Li explained everything, Lin Chujiu stayed silent, so he once again opened his mouth: "Xiao w.a.n.gfei, you can rest a.s.sured. We are only going to look for the a.s.sa.s.sin, we will not destroy even a single gra.s.s in Xiao w.a.n.gfu."
Lin Chujiu didn't pay attention to Commander Li's words. Instead, she said: "I heard what happened in the Northern Territory, it seems it happened a month ago, right?"
Commander Li doesn't know why Lin Chujiu suddenly raised this matter. He hesitated for a while but then nodded his head: "Yes, it was last month. Xiao w.a.n.gfu sent people to intervene in this matter. Forcing the Northern Territory's Emperor to release the people." Commander Li didn't forget to discredit Xiao w.a.n.gfu.
Covering a murderer has never been a good thing.
âCommander Li doesn't need to speak in a sultry manner. I think you know better than I do why the son of Futai died. We, Xiao w.a.n.gfu, always act according to the law. Murdering is not good, but that case was special. If it weren't for that person, who knows how many people will still die in the hands of Futai's son. w.a.n.gye has no relations.h.i.+p in the Northern Territory, but when he heard of it, he couldn't accept the injustice." Lin Chujiu simply state the facts, but these facts cleaned up their relations.h.i.+p with Jing Chi.
There was no need to give a face of the murderer.
Commander Li frowned. Seeing Lin Chujiu was trying to manipulate the topic, he busily said: "Xiao w.a.n.gfei means to say is that the Northern Territory emperor is sentencing an innocent boy, but it doesn't mean he is also innocent in a.s.sa.s.sinating Princess Fushou Zhang. The princess almost loses her life, so this imperial guard is asking Xiao w.a.n.gfei to make things easy for us and hand over the a.s.sa.s.sin so that the princess can feel at ease."
Commander Li's words were very sinister, he did not only implied that Lin Chujiu was hindering him from catching an a.s.sa.s.sin but also making Princess Fushou Zhang's life at stake.
Lin Chujiu shook her head and said: âThis w.a.n.gfei is very curious, is Commander Li a civil servant or a military officer?â
âXiao w.a.n.gfei, this matter has nothing to do with catching the a.s.sa.s.sin.â Commander Li's face blackened. Obviously, he was not happy.
Fecui, who was behind Lin Chujiu stepped forward and whispered in Lin Chujiu's ear: "w.a.n.gfei, Commander Li's father is a member of the Hanlin Imperial Academy. Commander Li hate it since childhood. And Scholar Li is very dissatisfied with Commander Li's leaders.h.i.+p."
Feicui whispered, but everyone could hear her voice. Lin Chujiu simply nodded her head and said: "No wonder Commander Li's wording is not the same to any ordinary general commander. It turned out he came from a family of scholars."
Lin Chujiu's last sentence made Commander Li very angry and dissatisfied: âXiao w.a.n.gfei, are you stalling time?â
âStalling time? Does this w.a.n.gfei need it?â Lin Chujiu slightly leaned back and lazily lifted her eyes, but she still has an imposing atmosphere.
Commander Li was affected by it, his back had sweat a bit, but he still tried to stand tall: âXiao w.a.n.gfei, you have repeatedly blocked me from performing my official duties. Are you resisting the imperial decree?"
