Chapter 130 Can't you see how important Ling Chuan is to His Majesty?
Inside the Xu residence in the capital, Xu Hongtu was feeling uneasy.
During these two days, he went over the whole thing from beginning to end, and finally felt that it was Ling Chuan's fault.
At the beginning, Xu Heng was targeted by Ling Chuan just because of the conflict with Yun Fuji over the cake business, and he was even forced to resign from his official position.
If I were still in the cabinet, I would never have allowed things to develop to this point.
Now the third brother who pleases him the most has been captured by Ling Chuan. If the third brother reveals the truth, the destruction of the Xu family will be imminent.
Xu Hongtu had already sent all the best fighters around him back to Ruyin. In order to save the Xu family, he even ordered those fighters to be killed.
This must-kill target not only includes Lingchuan, but also the third brother.
In fact, Xu Hongtu still didn't understand Ling Chuan's identity at this moment, otherwise, he would never dare to kill Ling Chuan.
It's like Prince Ning. Although Prince Ning also wishes Ling Chuan to die, he knows very well that if Ling Chuan is really killed, the emperor will probably be furious, and no one will have a good time then.
Wu Kun obtained permission from Prince Ning, and upon returning to the Judicial Investigation Bureau, he immediately summoned his four deputy supervisors and the other eleven chief officers to a meeting.
He roughly recounted the difficulties Lingchuan encountered in investigating the case in Ruyin County, and then ordered the chiefs of each department to take all their men to Ruyin to thoroughly investigate the case. The person in charge of leading the team was Deputy Supervisor Tu Yuantu.
The heads of each department were actually also very confused. Didn't Ling Chuan have a bad relationship with the governor? Why did the governor suddenly take such notice of him?
Moreover, there is no evidence at all in this case. How can we investigate the Xu family by going to Ruyin with great fanfare?
However, the clever ones quickly found the trick, which was to ask Duan Xifeng for information, after all, he had just returned from Ruyin.
As a result, Duan Xifeng quickly became a popular figure, even more popular than Tu Yuan, the deputy leader of the team.
But Duan Xifeng had no time to deal with them, so he simply led everyone to find Tu Yuan.
Tu Yuan was a little confused at the moment. Didn't the governor have a bad relationship with Ling Chuan? Why did he suddenly take him so seriously?
Wu Kun said in front of everyone that he was going to Ruyin to investigate the case, but privately he told himself that his main purpose was to rescue Ling Chuan.
So he called a small meeting of all the managers to plan the operation.
The plan was to make finding Ling Chuan the top priority, and the excuse was very clear, that is, Ling Chuan had an important witness in his hand.
Because there was no way to determine Lingchuan's whereabouts, they finally decided that everyone would hide their identities, disperse into Ruyin, and secretly search for Lingchuan's whereabouts.
As for Tu Yuan, he would naturally go to find the county magistrate of Ruyin County and put pressure on him in the name of the Criminal Investigation Bureau.
As for Shi Xing, when Cao Huanchun came to him with a badge and read the emperor's oral order, he was completely dumbfounded.
Although his father said that Ling Chuan was a talent valued by the emperor, he did not expect that the old man next to Ling Chuan was actually the emperor's man.
The most outrageous thing is this oral order: I am the commander of the military department in charge of city defense and security, and you want me to take my men out of the capital?
And judging from the content of the oral order, it was clear that they were going to confiscate the property.
There was neither official document nor imperial edict, so in the eyes of those who had ulterior motives it would be considered as private mobilization of troops, tantamount to rebellion.
Shi Xing couldn't make up his mind for a while, and after Cao Huanchun left, he could only ask his old father for help.
Shi Qian was also shocked when he heard this, but he was the right prime minister after all, so he reacted quickly.
"Son, this is a godsend opportunity. If you grasp it well, you will surely rise to great heights in the future."
Shi Xing was about to cry: "Dad, you are still rising rapidly. If I lead troops out of the capital, it will be called rebellion, and my entire clan will be exterminated."
Shi Qian slapped him on the back of the neck and said, "Bullshit, how could I, your father, cheat you? I have the emperor's order, what are you afraid of? This kind of work of cleaning up the emperor's ass... Bah, bah, bah, you are doing things for the emperor, are you afraid that the emperor will not appreciate your kindness? Have you forgotten that I, your father, went to Jiangzhou Prefecture to provide bran and chaff to the disaster victims?"
After Shi Xing was slapped, his mind suddenly became clear. He rubbed his hands and laughed, "Didn't I get a big bargain this time?"
Shi Qian raised his hand to hit again, but Shi Xing was prepared and dodged. Although Shi Qian didn't hit him, he kept talking: "That depends on how well you do your job. If you do it well, you will be very successful. If you don't do it well, hmph..."
"Ah?" Shi Xing was shocked: "The emperor means to rescue Lingchuan, but so many days have passed, what if Lingchuan..."
"Then you should kill all the Xu family members." Shi Qian showed a ruthless expression: "Can't you see how important Ling Chuan is in the heart of the emperor?"
As he spoke, he made a fist movement with a strong sense of power.
Shi Xing thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Could this Ling Chuan be the emperor's..."
He made a loving gesture with his thumbs: "No wonder he could hold back when Rong Xiuhua teased him that day. If it were me..."
'Snapped! '
Shi Qian slapped him on the back of his neck: "You are not a child anymore, don't think about playing with women all day long."
Shi Xing wanted to argue, but seeing his father's expression, he shrank his neck and said, "Dad, how can I take my men to Ruyin without an imperial edict or a transfer order?"
Shi Qian raised his hand to hit him again, but seeing Shi Xing retreating, he withdrew his hand and said, "It depends on your ability. You have been in this position for almost three years. Don't you have an idea of how many people are willing to follow you? Remember, too many people will not work, and too few people will not work either."
Shi Xing said with a bitter face: "Dad, how much is too much and how much is too little, just tell me directly."
"Look at your useless appearance. If you have too many people, His Majesty will be afraid of you. If you have too few people, you won't be able to defeat the Xu family in Ruyin. It all depends on you."
Shi Xing thought for a while and said, "I understand. Dad, just wait and see."
"Bullshit, you should leave as soon as possible. It's better to have Lingchuan alive than to have the Xu family dead. Do you understand?"
"understand."
Ling Chuan, who had been hiding in the mountains for several days, still couldn't escape the pursuit of the Xu family. If Chuyi hadn't discovered it early, they would have been surrounded by the Xu family.
At this time, they were fighting guerrilla warfare with the Xu family in the mountains. Although the mountain was not big, it was still big enough to hide the four of them. However, the Xu family dispatched a large number of people to guard all the ways down the mountain.
Chuyi gnawed the remaining bit of dried meat in his hand: "I've observed it. If you really want to force your way in, it won't be a problem to rush out."
Ling Chuan's cheeks were sore from chewing the dried meat: "What if we rush out? Where can we go? I have seen how powerful the aristocratic families are. Ruyin is so big that we will be found wherever we go."
Ling Chuan suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Lang who was swallowing his saliva: "Could it be you who did this?"
As soon as he said this, the other two looked at Xu Lang with fierce eyes.
