Chapter 3792: Kill with one arrow
Chai Lingwu sat angrily and glared at Fang Jun.
He was deeply afraid of Fang Jun's domineering attitude. Before coming here, he was still worried, fearing that Fang Jun would be harmful to him. But now that he saw Fang Jun eating everything and refusing to acknowledge his fault, he became so angry that he forgot about his fear. He pointed at Fang Jun and said, "If you don't give me an explanation today, we won't be finished!"
What explanation?
Naturally, it was the promise of the title. Chai Lingwu believed that as long as Fang Jun went to tell the prince and his brother-in-law, King Han, was there at Zongzheng Temple, the matter would be a certainty. The attitude of Princess Baling when he saw Princess Baling in the mansion just now made his heart feel like a knife. He already regretted it extremely, but there is no regret medicine in the world. Now that he has reached this point, he must implement the title matter no matter what, otherwise he will dare to fight Fang Jun. !
Fang Jun felt a headache. What was wrong with this?
If he hadn't known that Chai Lingwu was a fool, he would have doubted whether this was a "fairy dance" created by the couple...
Taking a deep breath, Fang Jun nodded and said: "This matter has nothing to do with me at all, and the relationship with Princess Baling is innocent and can be judged by the sun! However, thinking of the past friendship, I am willing to tell the prince for you. , but again, I can’t guarantee whether it will succeed or not.”
He had to bear the blame.
Princess Baling came to the camp last night, and there were many people in the army who knew about it. Although the Youtun Guards were built by him and were extremely loyal, no one would believe it if there were no secrets and tricks from all sides. So this matter cannot be hidden from anyone.
The royal princess ran to the general's military camp in the middle of the night and left before dawn. No matter how much Fang Jun said, who would believe that he didn't even touch Princess Baling?
If Chai Lingwu really went crazy and ignored him and went to Zongzheng Temple to complain, things would not end well. Of course Zongzhengji would not do anything to him without any evidence, but this reputation was definitely betrayed. The atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was open, and there were more than one royal princess who had an affair with a foreign man. But it was one thing to do this secretly, and it was another thing to be accused by the husband and cause a stir...
< br>
Is morality and etiquette just talk?
Once he is charged with such a crime, there will be great hidden dangers for Fang Jun to become prime minister in the future. Morality has always been a criterion that overrides ability. Even if there are sores on the top of the head and pus on the soles of the feet, you still have to create a moral model on the surface, otherwise you will never be able to become the chief minister.
Even if you are in a high position, if one day you have bad personal ethics and cannot hide it, causing a lot of trouble, you will probably have no choice but to step down sadly...
This is completely different from having an affair with Princess Changle.
Chai Lingwu was unwilling to give up. He came here today without giving up his dignity, just to get an accurate word so as not to be fooled by Fang Jun. However, seeing Fang Jun's gloomy expression at this moment, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He didn't dare to push too hard, so he could only Just accept it as soon as you see fit.
Then he nodded and said: "I can trust the Duke of Yue, so I'll leave this matter to you and say goodbye!"
Having achieved his goal, he didn't want to stay in front of Fang Jun for a moment longer. Every look the other person looked at made him feel whether there was a deeper meaning. It was full of ridicule and sarcasm, making him feel on pins and needles.
Fang Jun naturally didn't know how to entertain guests. He only nodded slightly and didn't even bother to answer.
When Chai Lingwu walked out, Fang Jun muttered depressedly: "What the hell is this?"
If I had known that this would cause a lot of trouble, I might as well have executed Princess Baling on the spot last night. At least I would not be at a loss if someone came to visit me afterwards...
……
When Chai Zhewei came out of the tent, he was greeted by the cold wind and rain, which cheered him up. The anxiety in his heart finally dissipated a little, and he quickly asked someone to bring his horse over.
When he came here, he was afraid, lest Fang Jun would get angry and have him arrested and humiliated. That guy had always done whatever he wanted and there was nothing he dared not do.
A good girl is bullied by a bully, and her husband comes to ask for an explanation, but the bully beats her to death and injures her, and then takes over his wife... Isn't that what the drama says? Although he bears the title of a child of a noble family, and his wife is a royal princess, Fang Jun is naturally much more powerful than ordinary bullies...
Fortunately, the guy was worried about his reputation and didn't dare to fall out.
He mounted his horse and arrived at the gate of the camp to meet his servants. Only then did he put his heart back into his stomach. He galloped along the path he came from. Facing the cold wind, he realized that his inner coat had been soaked in cold sweat. Soaking...
The anger in my chest was extinguished by the cold wind and rain. I was holding the horse's reins and was about to speed up, when suddenly a cry came from my ears: "Mr. Lang, be careful!"
Immediately afterwards, Chai Lingwu noticed an afterimage flashing as fast as lightning in the corner of his eyes, and then he felt a pain in his chest. A powerful force shook his whole body, and he spun around and fell off his horse, falling heavily to the ground with a "bang". , the last sight before his eyes was the gloomy and gloomy sky, and then he fell into boundless darkness.
"Langjun!"
"How dare you, this little rat, attack secretly!"
"Protect your husband! Go and inform the Duke of Yue quickly, please send your doctor here!"
……
The servants were all in a panic, especially when they saw Chai Lingwu falling from his horse with his eyes closed. They all panicked and dismounted to protect Chai Lingwu, but they did not dare to move his body. They could only send people to the Youtunwei headquarters not far away. Camp, please ask the doctor to come for treatment.
After a while, the scouts from the Youtun Guard noticed something unusual here, rode up on their horses, and asked urgently: "Why don't you leave quickly? What are you doing here?"
A general of the Chai family said: "My husband was wounded by a hidden arrow, and I don't know whether he is alive or dead!"
"Huh?"
The Youtun Guard scouts were shocked and reacted quickly. The group immediately dispersed and rushed in all directions to notify the patrolling scouts to pursue the murderer. Another person was sent directly into the camp to inform Fang Jun.
Fang Jun was stunned for a moment when he received the news. He immediately reacted and cursed: "Mother! What kind of idiot is blaming me?"
He quickly took off the horizontal sword hanging on the wall and took it with him. He didn't have time to change clothes, so he just put on a raincoat and left the tent. Surrounded by a group of soldiers, he rode his horse to the scene of the accident. He saw Chai Lingwu lying on his back. On the grass, there is a goose feather arrow stuck in the heart.
The rain fell and hit his face as pale as paper, mixed with grass clippings and muddy water, making him extremely miserable.
Fang Jun's temples bulged, anger rising in his chest, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The whole army is under martial law. No one is allowed to leave the camp even half a step without permission. Violators will be killed without mercy! Immediately notify Gao Kan and ask him to lead the army commander to conduct a strict investigation. Those who are not at their respective posts during this period should find out their movements. If there is any confusion, they will be captured immediately and tortured. ”
This place is less than one mile away from the gate of Youtunwei camp. The scouts of Youtunwei patrol continuously. It is impossible for foreign enemies to be lurking here, waiting for an opportunity to kill Chai Lingwu. The most likely murderer is from within Youtunwei.
Mother!
This method of frame-up and framing is extremely vicious. If the murderer cannot be found out as soon as possible and the mastermind behind the scenes cannot be tortured, he will be blamed for it...
"Here!"
The captain beside him rushed away, and soon after hearing the news, Cheng Wuting, Cen Changqian, Liu Shenli and others arrived one after another. When they saw the murder scene and heard what happened, they all looked solemn.
After a while, Gao Kan galloped over, dismounted in front of Fang Jun, wiped the rain off his face, and said in a deep voice: "Commander Qi, after receiving the order, we started to investigate and found that there was a school. The lieutenant committed suicide in the camp, and all the soldiers under his command were there, saying that he had just followed the captain to kill an unidentified person outside the camp gate, and no one knew about the rest..."
Cheng Wuting was furious: "Mother! Isn't this a plan to frame the commander-in-chief by eating the food inside and outside? We must dig out his identity and background. Even if he is a prince, I will lead troops to kill him and kill his whole family!"
Liu Shenli was also filled with righteous indignation: "It's too much to bully others. These methods are dirty and vicious, and you won't die a good death!"
The generals were furious, but Fang Jun calmed down.
There are tens of thousands of troops in the Youtun Guards, not to mention Fang Jun. Even if Zhuge and Bai Qi are reborn, it is impossible for them to be loyal and unyielding. There are also several people from aristocratic families or political enemies lurking in among them. Ordinary.
It's just that although Chai Lingwu has a noble status and a high status, he does not have any real power in his hands. Even if he is shot and killed, what is the use except to frame the blame on himself?
Even if Fang Jun is successfully framed, given his current status and without any conclusive evidence, who can convict him?
In addition to being a "suspected murderer", how can he be Fang Jun?
Fang Jun was puzzled.
In the distance, a fast horse galloped towards me. The soldiers on the horse came closer and shouted: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an order to summon the general to the Xuanwu Gate for an audience!"
Fang Jun's eyes narrowed and he looked at Chai Lingwu's body on the ground.
The prince summoned me by chance? Is it because of Chai Lingwu’s death?
If so, the man here had just ordered martial law to be enforced across the army and blocked the news just after he died. How did this news reach the prince so quickly?
