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 bloody 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 Wangfu. Or she can’t leave them alive.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter Commander Li explained everything, Lin Chujiu stayed silent, so he once again opened his mouth: "Xiao Wangfei, you can rest assured. We are only going to look for the assassin, we will not destroy even a single grass in Xiao Wangfu."
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 Wangfu 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 Wangfu.
Covering a murderer has never been a good thing.
“Commander 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 Wangfu, 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. Wangye has no relationship 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 relationship 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 Wangfei means to say is that the Northern Territory emperor is sentencing an innocent boy, but it doesn’t mean he is also innocent in assassinating Princess Fushou Zhang. The princess almost loses her life, so this imperial guard is asking Xiao Wangfei to make things easy for us and hand over the assassin 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 assassin but also making Princess Fushou Zhang’s life at stake.
Lin Chujiu shook her head and said: “This wangfei is very curious, is Commander Li a civil servant or a military officer?”
“Xiao Wangfei, this matter has nothing to do with catching the assassin.” Commander Li’s face blackened. Obviously, he was not happy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFecui, who was behind Lin Chujiu stepped forward and whispered in Lin Chujiu’s ear: "Wangfei, 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 leadership."
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: “Xiao Wangfei, are you stalling time?”
“Stalling time? Does this Wangfei need it?” 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: “Xiao Wangfei, you have repeatedly blocked me from performing my official duties. Are you resisting the imperial decree?"
