Chapter 242: There is a wrong string
Looking at the ninth son Timothy standing in front of him, Virgil Bixia felt that he was in a trance, and he suddenly found that he didn't seem to know his son!
Timothy, who rarely entered the palace, asked to see Virgil Bixia for nothing else, but to be able to become Li Zijun's deputy and assist him in tracking down 'Blood Jade Ruyi'!
Which string did Timothy pull wrong, and how could he have such a weird idea? Virgil Bixia looked at Timothy with a sincere face, and was really confused!
"Father, the emperor and the sons also know that my request is a bit abrupt, and even a little incomprehensible. But please believe Erchen, Erchen is really just to be able to find the 'Blood Jade Ruyi' for our royal family as soon as possible. ”
"'Blood Jade Ruyi' has an extraordinary significance to our royal family! Before Grand Duke Edlaide took over the case, Erchen had the idea of taking the initiative to come forward and track down the suspect. It's just that on the one hand, I am worried that the 'Blood Jade Ruyi' case is complicated, and that Erchen's ability is insufficient, and he has missed the best opportunity to recover this national treasure, and on the other hand, because of the symbolic meaning of 'Blood Jade Ruyi' itself, Erchen is also afraid that some people will misunderstand Erchen's motives. It is for these two reasons that Erchen has been hesitant during this time. ”
"Father, your order to severely punish the suspect in this case has finally made Erchen unable to sit still, and Erchen is worried that you will mistakenly kill a good person in a fit of anger, so that you will not be able to regret it in the future. At that moment, Erchen finally decided not to take into account the thoughts of others, and intervened in the investigation of the case, striving to give you and the royal family an explanation as soon as possible. ”
But at this moment, the Grand Duke of Edlaide rushed back to the capital and took the initiative to take over the burden. ”
"When I got the news. Erchen was about to leave the palace and rush to the palace, to tell the truth. Erchen was a little disappointed at that time, but then Erchen thought about it carefully, and the Archduke Edlaide took the initiative to face the difficulties regardless of personal gains and losses. Far better than the hesitation of the sons, looking forward and backward. Not only that, but the Grand Duke's ability is also far above Erchen, and he is responsible for investigating this case, and Erchen believes that we will soon be able to find valuable clues, and finally find the treasure of 'Blood Jade Ruyi'! Thinking of this, Erchen's initial unhappiness is also relieved. ”
"It's just that Erchen doesn't want to continue to watch from the wall this time, and Erchen is also ready to do his part for this matter! Erchen was originally suspended from the Criminal Department, and Erchen hopes that his father can allow Erchen to assist Archduke Edlaide in investigating this case, so that the case can be solved as soon as possible. Let the 'Blood Jade Ruyi' return to the hands of my royal family. The Ninth Prince, Timothy, said righteously in front of Virgil Bixia.
Timothy frothed at the mouth for a long time, but Virgil Bixia didn't even want to believe half a word he said! Virgil Bixia, who knew his son very well, although he hadn't guessed Timothy's true intentions, but he was absolutely sure of one thing, that is, Timothy was by no means as selfless as he said!
Virgil Bixia had the heart to refuse Timothy's request, but he really couldn't find any suitable excuse, Timothy was still an official of the Criminal Department so far. In fact, Timothy didn't need to ask himself for instructions at all, because of his order. It has been clearly written that 'the whole Department of Punishment shall cooperate with the Archduke Edlaide'.
Moreover, Virgil Bixia was also worried that once he rejected Timothy, he was angry and deliberately made trouble for Li Zijun. That's it. 'Blood Jade Ruyi' may really not be able to be recovered!
"Father, if you are worried that Edlaide and his sons will be out of the house, thus delaying the investigation. Then you don't have to worry about that! Erchen is very aware of the gap between his ability and that of the Grand Duke, in this case. The Erchen will fully respect every decision of the Grand Duke!Therefore, the Erchen recommends that you directly appoint the Erchen as the Grand Duke's assistant. The mission of the sons and daughters is only to supervise the officials of the criminal department to fully cooperate with the Grand Duke and urge them to implement every decision of the Grand Duke.
Hearing Timothy say this, Virgil Bixia couldn't refuse, so he had to finally agree to Timothy's request.
However, Virgil Bixia was still a little uneasy about Timothy, and he specially transferred the fifth prince Dennis into the case, and ordered the two princes to jointly assist Li Zijun in handling the case.
And at the same time the two princes were restricted, that is, in this case, the decision of the Grand Duke of Edlaide must be Zuihou, and no one could object to it!
Timothy saw that his father was so wary of him, and he couldn't help but feel a pang of hatred in his heart! Fortunately, he still achieved his goal after all, and he finally found a bit of balance. After thanking Virgil Bixia and saying goodbye, Timothy turned and left the palace.
"Daniel, what do you think Timothy means by that?" Virgil Bixia asked as he looked at Timothy's back as he left, shaking his head and beside him.
"I think the Ninth Prince just wants to do something for the royal family, and he shouldn't have any other ideas!" Daniel gave Virgil Bixia a very official answer.
Hearing Daniel say this, Virgil Bixia suddenly laughed, as if he had thought of something particularly happy, and he leaned back and laughed.
Daniel, who was standing beside Virgil Bixia, was not only not affected by him in the slightest, but on the contrary, his face became more and more heavy.
"Daniel, you and I have been friends for many years, and you are even half my master, but why is it so difficult for me to get a truth from your mouth?" After a while, Virgil Bixia returned to normal, and there was no longer a smile on his face.
"You are King Bixia, you are the Dongyu Empire!" Daniel sighed and bowed to Virgil Bixia.
"Is King Bixia destined to have no lovers and no friends?" asked Virgil Bixia coldly to Daniel.
Daniel didn't answer Virgil Bixia this time, he just lowered his head and continued to face Virgil Bixia in a bowed posture.
Seeing Daniel's appearance like this, Virgil Bixia sighed deeply, turned around and walked out of the palace.
Li Zijun heard that the fifth prince and the ninth prince were going to come over to assist him in investigating the theft of the 'Blood Jade Ruyi', he couldn't help but be stunned by the news, he really didn't understand that Virgil Bixiaweishenme suddenly gave such an order?
When Li Zijun heard that the reason why Virgil Bixia gave this order was because of Timothy's voluntary application, he was completely confused!
"What the hell is this Timothy going to do? He doesn't really want to help me, does he?" Li Zijun quickly summoned both Van Lunding and the 'monkey' to his study, and asked them with a wry smile.
"The Ninth Prince has been eyeing us all the time, and he must have bad intentions when he suddenly comes in at this time! Young Master, we have to be more careful with him! Will I transfer Padwin back tomorrow, I also feel more at ease with him by your side!" "The Ninth Prince Timothy has sent people to assassinate Li Zijun many times, which is no secret among the important people in the Seine Peninsula. Hearing that such a person suddenly took the initiative to ask for help for Li Zijun, the 'monkey' immediately became nervous, and he immediately reminded Li Zijun.
Seeing the worried look of the 'monkey', Li Zijun's heart warmed, and he smiled and waved his hand at the 'monkey'.
"After all, I'm also a saint-level master, there's no need to be so nervous just for the sake of a ninth prince!"
"Young Master?" said the 'monkey' a little anxiously.
"Alright, that's it for now!"
"Elder Fan Lunding, what do you think?" Li Zijun couldn't help but ask curiously when he saw Fan Lunding frowning and didn't say a word for a long time.
"Young Master Ed, I also think that this Nine Princes is definitely not kind here, but I have a slightly different idea from the 'monkey'. Van Lunding stopped at this point, he didn't seem to be able to fully penetrate his train of thought, and was trying to find an answer to resolve the doubt in his mind.
When Li Zijun saw Fan Lunding's appearance, he not only quieted down himself, but also stopped the 'monkey' from continuing to speak.
"Young Master Ed, I'm more inclined to believe that Timothy's move is to steal credit!" After a while, Van Lunding's brow gradually expanded.
"Grab the credit? whether my method will work or not, even I am not sure, how can he Timothy have so much confidence?" Li Zijun looked at Fan Lunding with a puzzled face.
"If my guess is correct, the Ninth Prince is not confident in your method, but he has already mastered the clue of 'Blood Jade Ruyi'!"
"Since Timothy has a clue, he doesn't directly arrest that gang of thieves, but also crowds around such a big circle to squeeze around the young master? According to your statement, he is not robbing the young master of the credit, but just thinking that he is simply taking the initiative to run to the young master to 'give gifts'. I doubt that the Nine Princes would have such kindness to us?!" Regarding Van Lunding's statement, the 'monkey' was a little unimpressed.
"It's not that he doesn't want to make meritorious service, it's that he can't make this meritorious service, and it can even be said that he doesn't dare to make this meritorious service at all!" Li Zijun felt that Elder Fan Lunding's words suddenly woke up the person in his dream, and he said with a face full of surprise.
"And that's where the Ninth Prince Timothy is vicious!"
"He will take the credit, but the mess will be thrown to me. This Nine Princes is really calculating!"
"I'm afraid that if he thinks like this, Zuihou can only end up with a bamboo basket to draw water!"
"I'm relieved that you think so too!"
"What are you talking about, can you explain it to me?" Listening to Li Zijun and Elder Fan Lunding, he didn't understand what they meant at all, and the 'monkey' asked anxiously.
Li Zijun and Fan Lunding saw the anxious appearance of the 'monkey', and after the two looked at each other, they let out a loud daxiao.
"We just won't tell you!" Li Zijun said evilly. (To be continued......)
