Chapter 181: Suspicion

 “…… Brother Linwu has been missing for more than a month, you are his friend, do you have any news about him? Zhang Linde asked Wu Bei.

When Wu Bei heard this, he had a hunch, and he couldn't help but be stunned. The next moment, he thought of Ji Ning in his heart, and guessed that it must be Zhang Linwu who quietly sneaked back to Jinling City to secretly harm Ji Ning, but unfortunately was killed by Ji Ning.

Of course, this is only his subconscious thoughts, and he himself cannot be sure.

He spun around in his mind a few times, and after a while, he finally came back to his senses, deliberately showed a shocked look, and said, "Zhang Sangongzi is missing?!" ”

However, when he speculated that Zhang Linwu's disappearance was related to Ji Ning, his expression was clearly seen by Zhang Linde, the iron-faced god Leng Feng, and the middle-aged scribe

"Yes, since I left the capital a month ago, I haven't gone home, and I haven't heard from him, and I haven't even gone home for the New Year." Zhang Linde said, "Do you have any information about his whereabouts?" ”

Wu Bei shook his head and pretended to be sad and said, "No." Since Zhang Sangongzi left Jinling City a few months ago, Wu and Qin Feng saw him off together, they have never contacted him again, let alone know his whereabouts. ”

"I heard Steward Yao say that my brother Linwu has a good relationship with you in Jinling City." Zhang Linde said in an unchanged tone, "Based on your understanding of the younger brother Linwu, where do you think the younger brother Linwu will go?" ”

Wu Bei pretended to think deeply for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

Although he wanted to lead the disaster to Ji Ning, he still held back, feeling that now was not the time, and he had to wait for the Zhang Mansion to track it down for a month or two before he came to the door to express his guess.

Next, Zhang Linde continued to ask a few questions, and Wu Bei answered them with reservations.

In the end, Zhang Linde sent someone to send Wu Bei back.

Wu Bei left, and the iron-faced god caught Leng Feng first: "This person's words are untrue. ”

"Zhang also found out." Zhang Linde nodded and said.

The middle-aged scribe sitting on the left said affirmatively: "Even if the disappearance of the third prince is not directly related to him, it is estimated that it is indirectly related!" ”

Zhang Linde said: "Wu Bei will write it down for the time being, and when he has collected enough information, he will be formally interrogated!" ”

As he spoke, Zhang Linde's face showed an eerie murderous aura.

……

……

On the fourteenth day of the first month, Ji Ning studied hard in the study.

During the Spring Festival, Ji Ning lived in seclusion, except for the visit of friends, he spent the rest of his time in the study, and even slept.

The huge sense of crisis made him determined to succeed in the autumn exam.

In addition, due to the blessing of the blue and purple light of the gods, the new Kifu is not as lucid as it is in the Sanwei Academy, and the memory is particularly good, but the reading effect is also significantly enhanced.

Tomorrow's Lantern Festival event, Ji Ning does not plan to participate.

However, the tree wants to stop and the wind does not stop, at the end of noon, suddenly Yuling entered the study to report, Zhangfu has an invitation, let him go to Zhang's house immediately.

When Ji Ning heard this, he immediately knew what was going on.

He looked calm on the surface, but he couldn't help but tighten inside.

Of course, he wasn't panicking yet.

Zhang Linwu disappeared, and the wealthy and powerful Zhang Mansion must have interrogated everyone who had crossed paths with Zhang Linwu, whether it was a friend or an enemy.

He had a holiday with Zhang Linwu, and it was completely expected that he would be interrogated.

"You go and send the people from Zhang's Mansion and directly say that I won't go." Ji Ning said.

Although he knew what was going on, he couldn't go.

First, on the surface, he didn't know why the people in Zhang's Mansion invited him to Zhang's Mansion, and he and Zhang Linwu were people who had a holiday, so it was suspicious that he went directly.

Second, he went to Zhang's Mansion and almost put his net worth and life in Zhang's Mansion into Zhang's hands. In case the people of the first mansion lynched him, he could not resist.

"No!" Yu Ling saluted, withdrew from the study, and obeyed the order to send the deacon of Zhang's mansion.

……

……

In Zhang's Mansion, Zhang Linde heard that Ji Ning directly refused to go to Zhang's Mansion, slapped the armrest of the table angrily, and said coldly: "He dares to refuse Zhang's invitation!" He's the most suspicious! ”

"Lord Leng, please send someone to capture Ji Ning immediately!" He turned to the Iron Mask God Hunting Cold Front and said.

The iron-faced god hunted Leng Feng and said, "It's normal for Ji Ning to refuse to go to Zhang's Mansion for interrogation. Ji Ning had a holiday with Zhang Sangongzi, and almost the entire Jinling City knew about it. When he didn't know that Zhang Sangongzi was missing, it was common sense for him to refuse Zhang's invitation. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that he already knew why Zhang Fu invited him to come, and he was afraid to come. ”

"Whether it is really related to the disappearance of his brother, he is very suspicious, so he should be taken down and tortured!" Zhang Linde said resolutely.

The Iron Mask God Capture Leng Feng shook his head and said, "If it were someone else, it might be like this, but Ji Ning couldn't. Ji Ning himself is quite famous in Jinling City, and the prince of Chongwang appreciates him very much. The most important thing is that Shen Kang, a scholar of Fuliang University, has a good eye for him. ”

"Are we missing such a major suspect?" Zhang Linde said coldly.

The Iron Mask God Catcher Leng Feng said, "Not really. It must be interrogated, but only if there must be all the relevant procedures in place and cannot be done cheaply. ”

"Just press it down." Zhang Linde said.

The middle-aged scribe thought for a while and said to Zhang Linde: "Eldest son, Ji Ning's suspicion is actually not very big. Since he had a holiday with the third son, I specially learned about his background. ”

"After Ji Ning was kicked out of the Ji Mansion, he was lonely and weak, and before he moved into the new house, in addition to him, there was a loyal and honest ordinary middle-aged house slave and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old personal maid. The third prince disappeared with two master guards, and it was impossible for Ji Ning and a scholar to kill the third prince and the two master guards without knowing it. ”

"For the sake of a suspicious Ji Ning to offend Shen Kang, a scholar of Fuliang University, and the prince of Chongwang at the same time, I hope that the eldest prince will think twice."

Zhang Linde weighed the pros and cons: Even if Ji Ning was really the murderer of his younger brother, it would outweigh the losses if he offended Shen Kang, a scholar of Fuliang University, and the prince of Chongwang.

Not to mention Shen Kang, a scholar of Fuliang University, even if he offended the prince of Chongwang, his father Zhang Hong's throne may not be stable.

In case his father is demoted or even removed, it is no longer possible for him, the eldest son, to be commanding and majestic to others.

Anyway, if a person is missing or dead, he can take revenge, but not beyond the cost of revenge.

Thinking of this, Zhang Linde pretended to be unwilling and said to the iron-faced god Hunting Leng Feng: "Although you can't directly take down the torture, you have to interrogate it." ”

"This is natural. Please rest assured. The iron-masked god caught Leng Feng and said, "Before the real murderer is found, everyone is a potential suspect, including you Dagongzi Zhang, and even Lord Lingzun Zhang!" ”
