Chapter 131 Conspiracy
Li Linghuai didn't believe in it, but in the room, he would always habitually light incense in the incense burner. The incense was lingering, which helped him calm down and was very helpful for thinking about problems.
It was already dawn, but the room was sealed, and the windows were deliberately blocked with opaque wooden boards and were not ventilated, so the incense was also entrenched in the room for a long time and turned into a strange shape. As the wind was generated by the human movement, it suddenly changed.
The room was separated by a huge screen and turned into two parts. Li Linghuai was on the side close to the outside, surrounded by soldiers in armor. Because the atmosphere was a bit depressing, the soldiers in armor remained motionless, like cold machinery, with a hint of strange texture... Opposite Li Linghuai was a thin and simple man in thin clothes, which was Fang Ming.
"Finally confirm that on the night the hurricane hit, Han Ziwen received the order from Wang Shuping, and together with the refugee general Xu Heng, who had somehow escaped from the county prison, Puxiang Zhen, led the crowd to travel in the storm and secretly went to the Xu family farm in Yixing County, and used sneak attacks to massacre all the Yixing Xu family. After killing Xu Zhen, the leader of the Xu family, Puxiang Zhen was killed by Han Ziwen, and Han Ziwen was killed by Xu Heng... This is probably the case?" Li Linghuai spoke quickly. He squatted in front of Fang Ming, lowered his head, and could not see his facial expression on both sides. He could only feel his voice hoarseness, as if he was walking through the gravel.
Fang Ming nodded: "That's it. I can testify. Lord Jun, as long as you can guarantee that you won't send me back, I can testify."
"Testimate?" Li Linghuai sneered, "How do you prove that what Han Ziwen received was... Wang Shuping's order? Or a letter or a letter cannot be used as evidence based on verbal words."
Fang Ming was stunned, his breathing slightly rapid, causing the incense floating to him to change violently. He was a little worried. Obviously he knew what his role was, but if he could not play his role, it would be much more difficult for these big men to kill him than to kill an ant... Fortunately, he was still a little determined, otherwise he would not have secretly planned to escape from Wang Ningzhi's control after he figured out Yixing's various situations. Although the main reason for stimulating him was that Xu Heng was ordered by Wang Ningzhi to kill Han Ziwen.
"You don't have to worry." While Fang Ming was thinking about various words in his mind, Li Linghuai's tone eased a little. Then, he took a wooden box from the desk behind him and gently opened it to reveal the accessories inside. It was a jade pendant. However, the jade pendant was covered with cracks and the surface was bumpy. The specific pattern was unclear, but one corner of the exquisite pattern was still displayed, as if he was worried that excessive force would cause the jade pendant to be broken. Li Linghuai did not take it out, but held the box to display it in front of Fang Ming, "Do you know this jade pendant... and the wearer of this jade pendant?"
Fang Ming looked carefully, then raised his head after a moment, and hesitated: "It seems that it is the jade pendant of Han Er Ge, which was burned by the fire. The specific patterns cannot be seen clearly, but in terms of shape, it should be Han Er... Han Ziwen's jade pendant. This jade pendant and Han Ziqing's jade pendant are a pair. I heard Han Ziwen say that they will carry jade pendants with them from the date of birth..."
Li Linghuai listened carefully, silently. After Fang Ming finished speaking, he took a deep breath, stood up straight, looked at Fang Ming, and said to the soldiers on both sides: "Okay, you haven't rested all night. I'll set up a residence for you to rest. I'll live here for the time being these days... After things are done, I will find a good way out for you."
After saying that, he didn't care what Fang Ming's expression was, and waved his hand and asked the soldiers to take Fang Ming away. After confirming that there was no one around, he turned around and walked around the screen and sat in a seat behind the screen.
"Everyone, what do you think should be done?" he asked.
Behind the screen, those who were hidden in the incense were luxuriously dressed people. Obviously, they heard the conversation between Li Linghuai and Fang Ming just now. Now they heard Li Linghuai’s question, but they were not in a hurry to answer. Most of them were thinking, and some were whispering.
After a while, one of them said, "Brother Jinjue, Li Envoy, is this... really going to target Wang Shuping?"
Zhang Lu, who was sitting next to Li Ling's arms, smiled: "Gu Cang was scared by Wang Shuping. Let's not talk about it for the time being. If Wang Shuping hadn't, you would have the greatest chance of being the prefect of Kuaiji. In this way, it could be said that Wang Shuping stole your opportunity. But I didn't expect that you were afraid of him. If I had known this, I would not have invited you here..."
"Jinjue, be careful." A scolding came from beside him, which was Sun Tai's voice. But after he finished speaking, he stopped talking and left only the group of people to discuss.
"Just with Fang Ming's evidence, it is impossible to threaten Wang Shuping."
"Yes, if you can't find the relevant letters and documents, you can't prove that Han Ziwen received the order from Wang Shuping, so I think it's better not to rush to take action for the time being, otherwise Wang Shuping insists that the army betrays him, and we can't do anything about it." Someone expressed concern and said, "Although the Wang family is decadent, it is still a big family. Just one Wang Shuping made us regard it as a great enemy, and easily alarmed the rest of the Wang family, and the consequences were unimaginable."
"I'm worried too much. If it's the Wang family in Taiyuan, it will be a bit worrying, but when it comes to the Wang family in Langya... Haha, famous scholars and others occupy an important part. However, in the court, there are only Wang Shuhu (Wang Biaozhi), Wang Shuping, and Wang Yuanlin (Wang Xun), and Wang Wang family in Langya, the decadent momentum can be seen."
"Even so, it's very difficult to shake."
"How can I know the result if I don't try?"
"Try it, are we just a few of us? We are either the sons of a small family or the sidelines of a large family. Even if the Wang family in Langya is decadent, so what? How about it..."
"Enough!"
Seeing that the topic became more and more biased, Sun Tai, who had never participated in the speech, said to stop the quarrel. Seeing that everyone looked at him, Sun Tai did not speak, but just sat quietly, his expression was elusive in the incense. He said, "Since Li is going to take over this case, I must have made some plans. Why not listen to what Li Jun's plans are?"
"I do have some plans, but I can't say I'm deliberately targeting it. All kinds of suspicions show that Wang Shuping is a sinner, the size of the family, and the interests of my interests are not working. But I still hope that you can help me and cannot shake the Wang family of Langya. But as long as Wang Shuping is cut off, he will lose his capable children and lose his destruction... it's only a matter of time." Li Linghuai said lightly, "Whether it can be proved that it was Wang Shuping's order is difficult, it is also necessary. Although Puxiang Zhenren and Han Ziwen are dead, there is still one person alive."
"Who is it?"
"Xu Heng!"
