In the Governor's Mansion, Chen Ping hurriedly came to Lin Ze's Mansion and said with a solemn face: "Uncle Shi, Wang Ben is dead." ”

Lin Ze raised his head and said in surprise: "So fast?"

Chen Ping sighed: "There is news from Chang'an, three days ago, Wang Ben died violently in the Marquis of Wucheng's mansion, and he is suspected of being assassinated. Later, the Tingwei Mansion Dasuo Chang'an was three days old, and only some ordinary thieves were arrested. The case became a mystery. There are all kinds of signs that Uncle Shi's previous speculation is closer to the truth. ”

Lin Ze was not surprised by Wang Ben's death, after all, if Wang Ben dared to die like that in the Western Regions, he would have to bear the corresponding price.

It's just that what makes Lin Ze curious is what Wang Ben did after he was captured back to Chang'an, which led to the fact that in just half a month, Emperor Qin couldn't help but find someone to kill him.

According to Lin Ze's speculation, even if Wang Ben will die, he will wait for the matter to calm down and die quietly, and now this matter is still in the limelight, didn't this incident cause panic in Chang'an City?

There is also the three days of the Tingwei Mansion, which also makes people feel strange, this does not give people the feeling that there are no silver three hundred taels here.

Although the people of Chang'an did not have much affection for the black-clothed guards, they had enjoyed stability for many years, and no one would think that the Tingwei Mansion was incompetent.

It can be seen that it can only be that the murderer is not ordinary, for example, he can quietly kill a six-rank peak martial artist.

Just speculating on the identity of the murderer will cause an uproar, with the wisdom of Emperor Qin, it should not be so hasty.

Unless...... There is a substitute for the dead!

Lin Ze thought so.

However, this matter had little to do with Lin Ze, Lin Ze put it behind in a blink of an eye, and said to Chen Ping: "Although it is a little different from what I thought before, the previous plan can be carried out as usual, send a letter to Gonggong Huang, and ask him to wait for the Wang family to be in difficulty, and then come forward to help the Wang family in the name of Gongzi." ”

"Wang Ben is dead, Wang is in charge, the momentum of the Wang family can be said to have dropped to the extreme, the people who have offended the Wang family before will definitely not let go of this opportunity, after all, such a big piece of meat is there, how many people are not tempted?"

Chen Ping was slightly entangled and said: "Do you have to wait until the Wang family is struggling to make a move? If the Wang family easily survives this difficulty, wouldn't it be a waste of such a good opportunity?"

Lin Ze shook his head and said: "There is a matter of interceding for Wang Ben before, the son has already formed a good relationship with the Wang family, if the Wang family is at ease, and the son helps, it is just the icing on the cake, but how can the icing on the cake be compared to sending charcoal in the snow?"

Only when the Wang family is struggling, and the son helps again, can it be regarded as sending charcoal in the snow, so that there is a chance to slowly and completely subdue the Wang family step by step. ”

Chen Ping was stunned and said, "Isn't Uncle Shi sure that he can subdue the Wang family?"

Lin Ze shook his head slightly and said: "Gongzi is not as good as Fusu, he has been favored since he was a child, the Wang family is not so easy to subdue, you and I have a difficult task, and do our best." ”

Then Lin Ze smiled again and said: "Actually, it's not that difficult, the son may not necessarily have to subdue the Wang family, as long as it gives people the impression that the Wang family is desperate and has to take refuge in the son." ”

"And you don't need too many people to believe that there is such a thing, as long as Fusu believes it. You know what to do, right?"

Chen Ping flashed these four words in his mind, and said with a relaxed smile on his face: "The senior nephew understands, and the senior nephew will arrange it." ”

After speaking, he left slowly.

Lin Ze turned around and went to the secret room and began to condense the sixth acupoint.

In the past half a month, Lin Ze has condensed four more acupoints, and the remaining jade in his hand is only enough for him to condense three acupoints, but there is no news from both Mount Tai and Dao Palace, which makes Lin Ze full of melancholy.

After Hu Hai knew about this, through some connections, he would transfer about a hundred pieces of jade from Chang'an, but this batch of jade was all standard egg-sized jade, and with Lin Ze's physique, it would take about twenty-five pieces to condense an acupoint, which could only be said to be a drop in the bucket, better than nothing.

Lin Ze successfully condensed the sixth acupoint, and as soon as he walked out of the secret room, he found Wu Fan in his mansion, walking around anxiously, waiting for his arrival, and couldn't help but show up and ask, "Wu Fan, what are you looking for this official?"

As soon as Wu Fan heard Lin Ze's voice, he immediately turned around and saluted, "My lord, my subordinates have something urgent to report." ”

Lin Ze rolled his eyes and said, "Look at you like this, the official knows that there is an emergency, let's say, what's wrong?"

Wu Fan couldn't help but blush and said, "Didn't your lord tell your subordinates to arrange for someone to go to Mount Tai to look for jade? Just now they came with the news that they had found the jade that the lord wanted. ”

Lin Ze couldn't help but show joy on his face and said: "Okay, let them transport the jade to Shu in batches, and the official will be rewarded." ”

Wu Fan's face was full of embarrassment, and he whispered: "My lord, I'm afraid this jade won't be able to be transported back in a short time." ”

The smile on Lin Ze's face disappeared, and his face sank like water: "If there is anything, make it clear at one time." ”

Seeing that Lin Ze was about to get angry, Wu Fan immediately poured beans and said: "My lord's forgiveness, it is not because of the disadvantage of his subordinates, but for another reason, the people of the subordinate faction have planned to take the jade to Shudi, but because of the rebellion of the Zhao ranger Lu Goujian, it raged in Liaocheng and Yanggu, and the people of the subordinate faction did not dare to risk their lives, and they were trapped at the foot of Mount Tai and were not allowed to go south. ”

Fearing that something had gone wrong, they used flying pigeons to send a message back to ask for help. There is nothing the subordinates can do about this, so they have come to inform the adults. ”

Could it be that because the number of Great Qin Sect Masters has decreased, some people have begun to drift?

Lin Ze secretly gave a thumbs up to those who dared to rebel, after all, like this, a person who dared to blatantly seek death was more or less a warrior.

It's just, how can it be so coincidental? Lin Ze was a little depressed, couldn't he let me cultivate well?

Wu Fan cautiously looked at Lin Ze's face, and didn't see obvious anger, so he asked tentatively, "My lord, how should we deal with this matter?" Do we let them take risks and bring the jade back, or wait for the limelight to pass and let them come back?"

Lin Ze closed his eyes, consumed a lot of qi and blood, secretly ran a "knowing the destiny of heaven", opened his eyes with a pale face, shook his head and said: "No need, let them wait for me at the bottom of Mount Tai, and this official will run with you personally." ”

Wu Fan's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he bowed down and said: "The subordinates are incompetent, and the adults need to come out in person, please punish the adults." ”

Lin Ze waved his hand and said: "For the sake of you who did find the jade, this time the merits and demerits are offset, I will not punish you, go down and prepare, and set off with this official at any time." ”
