【Ding, personal favorability is steadily increasing!】
【61……】
【62……】
【63……】
【64……】
【70!】
Seeing the favorability steadily increasing, Wang Lin said: “Hehe, you be happy!”
Next.
The two of them pushed cups and exchanged glasses over the small dishes.
Madam Ma served attentively, refilling their wine cups.
After three rounds of drinking and five courses of food.
Their affection rapidly warmed.
However.
What puzzled Wang Lin was.
The favorability was stuck at 90.
No matter what, it wouldn't move anymore.
“My old self is truly too content today, the only pity is, though this Feitian Moutai wine is excellent, there’s only one bottle, if you could give me another sip, this life would be enough for me to die with a smile.”
It was because he hadn’t enjoyed himself enough?
But……
The problem was.
He only had this much in stock.
However.
“I bought other wines in the Ghost Market, they are all good wines too……”
Fei Ji Shi glanced at him: “Of course I saw them, logically they are all good wines from the Ghost Market, I usually covet them, but compared to your wine, these are far inferior, my old self doesn't even look at them… However, they are still passable for drinking!”
Wang Lin shook his head with a smile:
“Old Fei, we met like kindred spirits, like this, don’t stay in this ghost place anymore, follow me, good wine and good food, I’ll make sure you have enough!”
These words came out.
Fei Ji Shi was stunned.
【Ding, Fei Ji Shi’s favorability skyrockets, rises to 95!】
【Current replicable golden words: See, Hear, Ask, Cut!】
…………
Ultimately.
After working hard for a night.
Fei Ji Shi’s favorability was stuck at 98.
But don’t underestimate this 98.
It can be completely said that.
Their relationship, now is closer than real brothers, it has reached a point of intimate friendship and sharing everything.
Sometimes.
The relationship between men, is just like this mysteriously.
One night is enough to become close friends.
No red word was obtained.
But Wang Lin wasn’t discouraged.
Anyway, he already tied this god-level healer to his own pirate ship, then when he is in trouble, he is not afraid that this guy won’t do his best to save him.
And when will he be able to obtain the word?
Wang Lin has a feeling, it might be until the next time he gets Moutai wine, or a good wine that is of the same level as Moutai.
This,
Will require punishing evil.
Because only by punishing evil can he get a chance to draw a lottery.
And punishing evil means, proactively getting involved in the upcoming bizarre case.
At this time.
Dawn had broken.
The Ghost Market returned to its deserted state.
And in the city of Chang’an, a major event occurred.
It caused people to be in a panic from early morning.
Upon receiving reports from the citizens.
Lu Ling Feng, who was the current Assistant Minister of Dali Temple, immediately rushed to the scene to investigate.
“The identity of the deceased has come out, it is Sun Wang, the Harmonious Music Officer, he was also disemboweled.” Guo Zhuang saw Lu Ling Feng, immediately ran over to report the news.
Lu Ling Feng narrowed his eyes, realizing the seriousness of the matter.
This was the how manyth case of an official being killed and having their liver removed this month?
Who was challenging the court?
Feeling the weight of the responsibility on his shoulders.
Lu Ling Feng strode forward.
What met his eyes was:
Sun Wang, lying pale and lifeless in a pool of blood.
He seemed to have seen some extremely horrifying scene before his death.
Upon seeing Lu Ling Feng arrive.
The old coroner quickly reported:
“He must have died at the end of Yin time, a stab wound in the chest, from the shoulder to the rib, the cut was deep, the liver was dug out.”
“Both eyes were full of fear, he seemed to have witnessed a horrifying scene before his death.”
“The difference from the previous two murders is in this stab wound.”
Lu Ling Feng quickly stepped forward to inspect.
After a series of analysis.
He concluded that the murderer was killed by a broadsword.
However.
Guo Zhuang, who was transferred from the Imperial Guard by Lu Ling Feng to assist in the investigation, was puzzled:
“The broadsword is extremely deadly, and is strictly controlled by the court! In Guan Zhong and the Central Plains, especially the imperial guard troops in rotation in the Two Capitals do not equip this weapon!”
“Right!”
Lu Ling Feng also tried to analyze: “Broadswords are mostly equipped by troops fighting on the frontier, such as the Anxi Army, how did it suddenly appear in the Capital?”
However, at this moment.
Lu Ling Feng acutely smelled a faint scent.
The fragrance was rich, and actually came from the corpse.
The coroner quickly answered: “The deceased has many traces of ointment on him, this must be the fragrance it emanates, I have recorded all of this in the documents, the type of ointment used is included, I suspect it is the lip rouge used by women, but this old man doesn’t understand the latest fashions, so it is difficult to say exactly what kind of lip rouge it is.”
With a clue.
Immediately.
Lu Ling Feng started investigating.
He rushed to Pei Xi Jun’s residence, he didn’t understand rouge and powder, but Pei Xi Jun would definitely know!
And on a street corner.
Wang Lin silently watched this scene, but secretly cursed in his heart.
He never thought.
That he had already changed the plot.
How could Sun Wang still die?
Moreover, the same death from the original plot!?!?
Also.
What is with the ointment on your body?
His brain was running at high speed.
Eliminating all wrong options.
Wang Lin came to a conclusion:
General Ma would kill all men who went to his mansion, this was certain—even Lu Ling Feng and Guo Zhuang in the original drama became targets for assassination.
This also shows that Sun Wang must have gone to General Ma’s mansion!
Most likely last night!
Then the ointment on his body is also easily explained, it should be that he saw no one in General Ma’s mansion, and rummaged through things and got it on him… then, perhaps when he was escaping with some jewelry, he ran into Ma Xiong, and was killed in the street, and then his liver was taken by the so-called ‘Shang Ren’, the money on him was also taken away…
Damn it!
It doesn’t matter if you die.
The key is,
Killing with a broadsword will lead the investigation to General Ma, and lead to the General Ma’s Mansion.
Also the ointment!
This damn thing, who knows what kind of information that is unfavorable to himself will be investigated if the investigation continues based on the clues?!
No!
Cannot let Lu Ling Feng investigate.
Must think of a way to proactively get involved in the investigation.
After much thought.
Wang Lin had an idea.
Therefore,
He turned and went to the Princess’ Mansion.
After all, he was a big shot in the Princess’ Mansion, he should use this relationship.
…………
“What? You are a fifth-rank upper-level Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and you actually want to go to Dali Temple to be a small Assistant Officer? What is on your mind?”
The Princess’ Mansion.
A woman with a charming demeanor, dignified and graceful, was seated on a high seat, looking down at Wang Lin.
Wang Lin: “To be honest, a villain is killing my Great Tang officials in the street, repeatedly challenging the court, I, as a court official, naturally cannot stand idly by.”
“You?” Princess Taiping chuckled, “There’s only you and I here, we are all old acquaintances, why are you pretending? I want to hear the truth.”
The Princess smiled.
It seemed friendly.
But it actually carried a hint of displeasure.
However, the next second.
Wang Lin’s words accurately struck a nerve with Princess Taiping’s noble lineage:
“I investigated the Ghost Market last night, I got some news, someone is going to kill Lu Ling Feng.”
“What?!”
