The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 425 425. Betrayal

If he didn't have something important to say, he wouldn't be happy to see Liang Quanbin's old house on fire.

So he gathered his thoughts and his face became more serious than before.

"Uncle Liang, you have been recuperating here for many days and know very little about what is going on outside. His Majesty sent an imperial envoy to Jinling City specifically to take the official rations paid by the Water Transport Department this year to the southwest for disaster relief. "

"What?"

"The imperial envoy has settled in the government office of the Prime Minister of our county, but you are still seriously ill and can't afford to deal with the outside world. How can we receive you?"

Liang Quanbin frowned, very suspicious of the inexplicable arrival of the imperial envoy.

He knew how many tricks the Water Transport Department had, and so did Duke Wei.

How could you allow His Majesty to send an imperial envoy?

He couldn't figure this out, but what Feng Jinlin said suddenly made him realize it.

"I heard that Duke Wei was assassinated and lost one eye."

"What!"

This news shocked Liang Quanbin even more than the imperial envoy had just arrived in Jinling City.

how come! how come!

Suddenly he thought that the person who killed him was none other than Duke Wei's confidant?

Could it be...

It’s Zhu Hong!

Once he had a conjecture in his mind, many things would naturally follow his train of thought.

Looking at his pale and white complexion, Feng Jinlin felt satisfied.

Liang Quanbin's own thoughts were much better than his reminder. Although there was a "kindness" to save his life, once his own interests were touched, no matter who he was, self-preservation was the last word.

After Liang Quanbin's expression changed from shock to silence, and then a little resentment, he slowly spoke.

"Uncle, uncle..."

Liang Quanbin came to his senses and looked at Feng Jinlin as if he was seeing a life-saving straw.

"Who is the imperial envoy?"

"My uncle, Bai Chaoan."

After hearing this, Liang Quanbin started to think.

The Bai family never takes sides, so he is not worried that Bai Chaoan will interact with Duke Wei in private.

However, this was not enough for him to use the evidence in his hand to bring down Duke Wei. After all, if he really did this, he would definitely be implicated.

So he needed to make a plan to make Bai Chaoan believe that he didn't know about this, or that he was forced to do so.

Only in this way can you pick yourself clean.

Even if the governor's position is not guaranteed, it is better than losing his life.

Now Duke Wei must have thought that Zhu Hong's assassination was his problem, so he sent someone to kill him to vent his anger.

And another thing that he was worried about was that based on his understanding of Duke Wei, he must have started destroying evidence when the imperial envoy left, and he might even want to put the blame on himself.

So let's just kill someone as a scapegoat and destroy the body and eliminate all traces.

Thinking of this, his mind began to become active.

After serving in Dali Temple for so many years, retaining evidence is what he is best at.

Duke Wei and others must have thought that he was dead, so they destroyed the evidence unscrupulously, but they forgot about the cunning rabbit's three caves. Since he dared to board the ship, he naturally had a way to save his life by destroying the ship.

So after thinking again and again, he said to Feng Jinlin.

"Is there any way you can let me meet Master Bai alone?"

"What is uncle going to do?"

"Of course I have something important to report to the Imperial Envoy."

"Is it related to the Zhu family?"

"Um."

The Zhu family was destroyed because of Liang Quanbin, so Feng Jinlin pretended not to know anything and spoke.

"That's right. After all, the Zhu family was once one of the four major families in Jinling City. We really need to talk to my uncle about the situation. Don't worry, uncle, I will arrange for him to come over."

"Thank you, nephew."

After Feng Jinlin walked out of the yard, his first reaction was to look at Su Cheng who was hiding in the dark. The two found a private place and began to change clothes.

Now that Liang Quanbin's mind has begun to waver, he must encourage him again.

Just talk about the role of the Zhu family. The most important thing is to take out the evidence hidden in his hand and overthrow Duke Wei!

So after changing clothes, Su Cheng also put on a human skin mask, which Xu Lin had left behind before.

He pretended to be a subordinate of Duke Wei, and as long as he kept silent, there would be no big problem.

Therefore, when Liang Quanbin was still thinking about how to talk to Bai Chaoan in the yard, his "assassinator" came again.

"It's you!"

When Liang Quanbin saw the person coming, his eyes were filled with fear.

He tried to step back, but it was no use.

He could only sit in place, unable to move.

"I...it's not me, it's not me. I didn't arrange the assassination of Mr. Guo."

He desperately wanted to explain, but unfortunately the other party didn't give him this chance, and the knife came towards his neck. Liang Quanbin was shocked.

Instinct allowed him to dodge this move, but unfortunately his injury, which was much better, split open again.

The man raised his knife again to kill Liang Quanbin, but was frightened by the scream from behind and turned back.

It turned out that Caiju, who had gone to make tea, turned back and happened to see this scene, so he screamed in fright.

The tea cup fell to the floor, but she didn't flinch.

When the man was about to stab Liang Quanbin again, he jumped up and stood in front of him. The knife naturally hit Caiju.

"Ju'er!"

Liang Quanbin's eyes were splitting as he saw that the anger in that man's chest was stronger than ever before!

Immediately, he pulled out a hairpin from Caiju's head and stabbed the visitor.

Staring at him fiercely, he said, "It's too much! It's too much!"

Then I heard the footsteps of a guard approaching. The man's arm was injured and he couldn't fight with everyone, so he glanced at Liang Quanbin and jumped onto the roof and ran away.

Liang Quanbin covered Caiju's wound, but unfortunately the blood spurted out.

In the end, before he could say anything, he died.

Liang Quanbin watched his beloved die tragically in front of him trying to save him, how could he bear it!

Duke Wei was so cruel to him, not only taking his life, but also the people around him.

If Caiju is like this, I imagine that a pair of sons and daughters in the capital will be like this too.

Hatred eroded his thoughts, and he couldn't care about anything else at the moment. He went directly to the county government office under the escort of guards.

When Bai Chaoan saw him, he had blood stains on his body and his face was full of shock.

"Master Liang, what's going on?"

Liang Quanbin ignored the politeness and immediately stepped forward and knelt on the ground, crying to Bai Chaoan with tears and runny nose.

"Master Bai, if you don't come again, I'm afraid even the lower officials won't be able to see you."

Although Bai Chaoan is only a third-rank official, he is now an imperial envoy and represents Emperor Qi, so Liang Quanbin is shorter than him, so it is normal for him to be called a lower official.

Bai Chaoan had an affair with Feng Jinlin a long time ago. At this moment, he knew exactly what Liang Quanbin was doing, but he had to pretend to be completely ignorant on his face.

Looking at Liang Quanbin, he immediately helped him up.
