Chapter 58: Stirs up muddy water! That person is called Nameless!
Purple Orchid Pavilion.
In the private room on the fourth floor. Han Fei, with a solemn expression, paced anxiously in the room, sometimes standing up, sometimes sitting down.
The atmosphere inside the room was a bit strange. Hong Liang, who always followed Han Fei, did not show up this time. Sister Zi still had no intention of making tea, and said to the anxious Han Fei, “It’s useless to be in a hurry, if it’s done by him, we can ask him when he comes.”
Han Fei sighed, “Ah, with such skill, besides him and Bai Yifei in Xinzheng, I can’t think of a second person.”
“And besides us, who else would want Wei Wuji to die?”
Zhang Liang touched his nose awkwardly and said, “I just mentioned it casually, who would have thought Wei Zhuang would be so impulsive, saying he’d kill someone and just did it!”
Yesterday, the final result of the discussion was that Wei Wuji could not be killed. But when the result was decided, Wei Zhuang had already left in anger. One moment he said kill, the next moment he said don’t kill. What a joke with you women and their kindness!
Sister Zi’s eyes flashed with intelligence, and she said, “It may not necessarily be Wei Zhuang. It’s also possible that Ji Wuye is going the other way, trying to provoke war between the two countries with the anger of the Emperor of Wei, so he can ask the Emperor of Han for military power to fight the enemy.”
Ji Wuye was the commander-in-chief of Han, also known as the God of War of Han. If Han and Wei were really at war, he would naturally be the commander-in-chief!
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew. The closed window seemed to move slightly, but then again, maybe not. When everyone retracted their gaze from above, a figure had appeared in the room. Zhang Liang was startled and shivered, complaining as he patted his heart, “Brother Wei Zhuang, can you stop appearing out of nowhere every time, isn’t the door right there?”
Wei Zhuang, who suddenly appeared, glanced at Sister Zi out of the corner of his eye. Coldly, he said, “I am now a wanted criminal.”
All thanks to you! Now I have to fly over the walls just to leave the house.
Sister Zi shrugged, ignoring his sarcastic tone. Zhang Liang pursed his lips, at a loss for words, and asked, “So, did you kill Wei Wuji?”
Wei Zhuang fell silent. Zhang Liang seemed to understand and slapped his forehead, leaning back in the chair. The faces of Han Fei and Sister Zi also changed.
“No.”
When everyone’s expressions had changed, Wei Zhuang finally uttered that word flatly.
“Not you?”
Zhang Liang seemed somewhat incredulous.
“Not me.” Wei Zhuang was concise.
“Really not?”
Wei Zhuang raised the shark’s fang sword in his hand.
“Dare you speak again, believe me or not, I’ll comb your hair?”
Zhang Liang clapped his mouth shut, “Okay, then it’s not you.”
“If Little Zhuang says it’s not him, then it’s not him.”
Han Fei knew Wei Zhuang’s character quite well. If he had done it, he would not deny it! Daring to act but not daring to admit it was a sign of weakness in his eyes. Wei Zhuang scorned such behavior!
Next, Han Fei and the others were puzzled again. If it wasn’t Wei Zhuang, then who else could it be? Would Ji Wuye go so far as to provoke internal strife in Han disregarding the stability and military operations of the country? The first unfortunate one after Wei Wuji’s death would be him!
“Someone wants to stir up trouble in Han.”
Suddenly, Sister Zi raised her gaze and hit the nail on the head. Zhang Liang, lying motionless on the chair, looking up at the ceiling, said, “I’ve thought about it, but the question is, who?”
Sister Zi calmly said, “Whoever can gain the greatest benefit is the one.”
Han Fei had a flash of insight and said, “Bai Yifei?”
If Ji Wuye was punished by the Emperor of Han because of this, the one who could replace him would be Bai Yifei. Suspecting it was done by Han Fei and his group, and they suspected it was orchestrated by Ji Wuye. The person who would benefit the most would be Bai Yifei, who was just waiting to see the show.
Although Bai Yifei was one of the “Nightfall Four Evils”, his ambition was no smaller than that of Ji Wuye! Sister Zi said lightly, “It’s possible. By the way, how is the reaction of the Emperor of Han now?”
Han Fei shook his head, “The Emperor is naturally furious, he gave Ji Wuye three days to explain.”
“The news of Wei Wuji’s death has been sent to the Empire of Wei. I believe the Emperor of Wei will soon send someone to demand an explanation.”
Zhang Liang sneered, “Explain? It’s nothing but a scapegoat.
“Finding a scapegoat is not that easy for Ji Wuye, the Emperor of Wei is not easily fooled.”
Han Fei pondered for a moment, suddenly enlightened and said, “Can’t be fooled, even better!”
“Hmm? Are you stupid?”
Zhang Liang abruptly sat up straight.
Han Fei continued, “We can have the Emperor of Wei personally send someone to investigate. It concerns Wei Wuji, and the Emperor of Wei will definitely take it seriously.”
“By using their hand to investigate the truth behind this ghost, it will not harm us in any way. However, Ji Wuye still has to bear the blame of inadequate protection, and his cooperation with the Wei Empire is definitely compromised.”
Zhang Liang nodded as he stroked his chin, “So you think the Emperor of Wei will send someone? Aren’t you afraid that the person behind them will kill the envoy and make matters worse?”
Sister Zi spoke up, “That’s why the Emperor of Wei will definitely find someone with high skills, extraordinary wisdom, and connections with Wei Wuji.”
Zhang Liang searched in his mind for someone who met the criteria, and suddenly looked shocked after a moment, “You mean…”
Wei Zhuang’s eyes gleamed sharply as he slowly spoke, “He, Nameless!”
