“Hey, hey, wait a minute!”
Fei Ji Shi approached.
Lu Ling Feng looked puzzled.
Fei Ji Shi's eyes were sharp:
“This kind of thing should only be done after midnight, right? How about I keep watch for you then?”
Lu Ling Feng replied coldly:
“Are you asking me to break the curfew? As a member of the Jinwu Guard, how can I break the law?!
Besides, those places can only be approached during the day without being suspected.”
Then, he looked at Guo Zhuang:
“Guo Zhuang, go get the Wen Chao who was captured from the Ghost Market last night, remember to be discreet, don't let the General know.”
When Su Wu Ming heard Wen Chao's name, he was stunned and said:
“Wen Chao? The Assistant Military Administrator?”
Lu Ling Feng nodded:
“He actually went to buy Chang'an Red Tea himself, quite the addiction!
However, he is in charge of weddings and funerals, it’s worth interrogating him carefully!”
Guo Zhuang nodded and left.
Su Wu Ming praised:
“The Zhong Lang Jiang is meticulous, I admire you!”
Lu Ling Feng jumped out of the window, Fei Ji Shi stepped forward, and stamped his foot in distress:
“Oh dear! Why did he leave? I still wanted to…”
“Fei Shen Yi, please go to the market and buy a few chickens, and some good wine.”
A silver ingot appeared in front of the doctor, swaying back and forth, almost tempting him away.
Fei Ji Shi was delighted, but he hesitated and said:
“But a few chickens and good wine won't cost that much!”
Zheng Qing smiled:
“If Lu Ling Feng finds the herbs this time, he will still need Fei Shen Yi to identify them, you go buy them first, as for the rest, you keep it, and spend it whenever you want.”
Fei Ji Shi danced with joy:
“Okay, okay, okay, I'll go right now, you guys wait for me here!”
He ran off like a shot.
Su Wu Ming was curious:
“Why is Zheng Yu Shi so friendly to Fei Shen Yi?”
Zheng Qing remained silent, quickly walked to the side, and wrote down a few names.
He connected them together, and when Su Wu Ming saw the relationships between them, he suddenly realized:
“Could this be it?”
Zheng Qing shook his head:
“Let's wait until the Zhong Lang Jiang comes back.”
…
Eastern Palace—
Crown Prince Li Long Ji was reviewing memorials and documents sent from various places, but he couldn't help but frown as he looked at them.
“This Lu Ling Feng, I ordered him to investigate Chang'an Red Tea, but he almost caused chaos in the Ghost Market!
Look at this pile of impeachments! The Jinwu Guard has been quite arrogant lately!”
Lu Tong remained silent at the side.
After all, Lu Ling Feng was also considered to be under his command, if he was to be punished, he would also have to bear the responsibility.
“Hmm?”
Li Long Ji was surprised and picked up a memorial.
“Kang Yuan Li? Isn't this the West City Magistrate? Impeaching the Supervision Censor…Zheng Qing?
Interesting, it's always the Censors who impeach others, why is Zheng Qing being impeached?”
He was very interested.
While Lu Tong said:
“Your Highness, this Zheng Qing appeared recently, it is said that he is highly trusted by the Emperor, not only was he promoted to the position of Supervision Censor, but he also received the Emperor's jade pendant!”
“Oh? Is that so? It seems that the Zheng family of Xingyang has produced an extraordinary figure!”
Li Long Ji smiled and placed this memorial aside.
Lu Tong continued:
“Your subordinate believes that it is necessary to investigate this person's background? It is said that the Princess recently summoned him to the palace.”
Li Long Ji waved his hand:
“No need, if it's my aunt, she must already be investigating, but that Lu Ling Feng, I heard that he once studied under Di Ren Jie, but was rejected.
Now he is close to Di Ren Jie's disciple Su Wu Ming, do you know the reason behind this?”
Lu Tong immediately knelt down:
“Your Highness, this subordinate can guarantee Lu Ling Feng's loyalty!”
Li Long Ji smiled:
“What are you doing, General Lu? Get up quickly, it's just a routine inquiry, you don't need to take it too seriously.”
“Thank you, Your Highness.”
“Right, find a chance to let me meet this Zheng Qing.”
“This subordinate will arrange it immediately.”
…
That night, in Chang'an County Office—
Lu Ling Feng spread out all the flowers and herbs he had collected from those uninhabited places.
Su Wu Ming asked:
“Are the books I lent you still here?”
“They are here.”
They opened the “Book of Wonders”, and according to the drawings on it, they were very sure that this was the Western Region Phantom Herb!
“It really is this poisonous herb!”
Lu Ling Feng finished speaking and was about to leave.
“Where is the Zhong Lang Jiang going?” Zheng Qing asked.
“To the palace to report to His Highness the Crown Prince!” Lu Ling Feng said respectfully, when he mentioned the Crown Prince, his eyes were filled with loyalty.
“You haven't found the mastermind yet, what's the use of reporting to the Crown Prince?”
“The General has stripped me of my military power, how can I capture the culprit?” Lu Ling Feng asked.
He wanted to inform the Crown Prince about the situation and regain his military power, and at that time, he would lead a large army to flatten the Ghost Market, and it wouldn't be difficult to find the mastermind!
Zheng Qing sighed in his heart.
This Lu Ling Feng is really naive!
Or rather, he is still immature!
The Li family who ruled Tang Dynasty, none of them were good people, especially Li Long Ji!
He seems to care deeply about his subordinates, but this is actually all part of his imperial strategies, he is the most ruthless, at the beginning he conspired with his aunt and helped Li Dan to ascend the throne.
Later, he even executed Princess Taiping who intended to rebel, without any hesitation!
Even his suspicion and possessiveness were almost abnormal, later he even occupied his own daughter-in-law!
It’s just that he hasn't fully grown his wings yet, plus Princess Taiping was in power, so it hasn't been revealed!
Zheng Qing sighed, now he really wants Lu Ling Feng to choose a different person to follow.
Otherwise, he would be stabbed in the back in the future, wouldn't it be even more painful?
But thinking about it now, he felt relieved.
After all, the concept of loyalty cannot be changed overnight, unless…he personally realizes the true nature of the Crown Prince!
Zheng Qing smiled:
“Now, many people are saying that the Jinwu Guard raided the red tea on the orders of the Crown Prince, and many officials in the court have already expressed their dissatisfaction with the Crown Prince.
And now you are going to ask the Crown Prince for military power, are you trying to make His Highness the Crown Prince even more embarrassed?”
Lu Ling Feng frowned:
“Then what other better way do you have?”
“Don't we have our Chang'an County!” Su Wu Ming leaned over.
Not to mention it, but when Lu Ling Feng heard this, he couldn’t help but get angry.
“Do I even need to mention those useless guys under you?”
But this made Su Wu Ming unhappy:
“What are you talking about? I heard that last night, under the leadership of General Lu, the nineteen Chang'an County capture officers were a formidable force!”
“But…”
Lu Ling Feng wanted to say something, but he caught a glimpse of Zheng Qing out of the corner of his eye, and thought to himself that if Zheng Yu Shi went with them, maybe their chances of winning in this battle would increase considerably.
【Lu Ling Feng's favorability, Fame Value +300.】
Zheng Qing felt goosebumps all over his body, what was going on?
As they were talking, Guo Zhuang came in carrying a cloth bag, threw it on the ground, and there were muffled cries coming from inside.
