Chapter 674: There are ghosts

Liu Chengfeng raised his legs and was about to leave, but Jiang Bing smiled and said, "Let's wait..." He stood up, looked at Liu Chengfeng with a smile, and said, "Since Duke Lian is here, why not drink a few drinks in the mansion." Seeing that Liu Chengfeng was hesitant, he continued, "Actually, to be honest, Mr. Jiang had long wanted to talk to Mr. Lian, but Mr. Lian must also know that Mr. Jiang is in Hanlin and needs to avoid suspicion."

Liu Chengfeng understood what he meant. Jiang Bing's current identity is Shujishi, so he naturally was not convenient to deal with the Jinyiwei. But now he has agreed to this marriage in the palace and will soon become a royal relative like himself, so there is no need to avoid suspicion.

As a royal relative, it is very necessary to establish a good relationship with Liu Chengfeng. Among the royal relatives, the real power faction is the Duke Cheng Guo who is far away in Nanjing. Jiang Bing is not stupid at all. He actually takes advantage of the situation and wants to make a relationship with himself now.

Liu Chengfeng has seen such a person many times. Liu Chengfeng smiled calmly and said, "The guest is as good as the master. Since Lord Jiang invites you, Liu Chengfeng has to respect him rather than obey his orders."

Jiang Bing showed joy and quickly informed his family and asked them to organize a banquet.

Liu Chengfeng was bored and asked about Jiang Bing's family background. After all, he would marry the palace in the future and ask for some information, so he could have an explanation with the emperor.

Jiang Bing did not hide it and directly talked about his family, saying that his parents were poor since childhood, but when they were older, their family situation improved a little. His father bought several acres of thin land for him to study.

Liu Chengfeng nodded. He thought to himself that this family background is exactly the same as the palace's wishes. In the past, the royal family usually does not seek out those families with very good families. Except for those relatives of the royal family, most of them try to avoid any connection between those families who are rich and wealthy. To put it bluntly, I am still afraid that the relatives of the foreign countries will have an impact on the government.

The banquet was ready, Liu Chengfeng and Jiang Bing went to the backyard to have a drink, and after a few glasses of wine, the content they talked about was naturally widespread, and Jiang Bing said with concern: "Duke Lian was attacked, and I don't know what the case is."

Liu Chengfeng frowned and said coldly: "I hope they are lucky and don't let me find out, otherwise they must be smashed into pieces." He was silent: "If you want to talk about the eyebrows, there is no lack of them."

Jiang Bing said in confusion: "Oh? Would you like to hear it carefully?" He looked afraid that he would talk too much and was a little curious, and said: "Duke Suwen Lian is quite powerful and is as good as a god. Today I just want to see it."

Liu Chengfeng smiled slightly: "This is all exaggeration. There is no magical power. It is ridiculous to say it." He said seriously: "Actually, the person who planned this assassination must have come from the palace."

Jiang Bing couldn't help but say in surprise: "How can I see it?"

Liu Chengfeng said coldly: "These assassins came prepared and were ambushed on the road that Mr. Liu must have passed. Lord Jiang thought about it. Mr. Liu had just received the order from His Majesty to come to Lord Jiang. How can ordinary people know which road I will go? So the assassin must have received the message at the first time. He knew that I was going to come to Lord Jiang, so he set up an ambush there in advance and caught turtles in the jar."

It is probably the first time Jiang Bing heard about such a powerful fight in the palace. He was so scared that his face turned yellow. After a long time, he breathed a long sigh and returned to normal: "If he came from the palace, he just didn't know which bold eunuch in the palace, he was the commander of the Jinyiwei Commander, this is a serious crime."

Liu Chengfeng asked him: "Who can immediately organize a group of such capable people, who can be omnipresent in the palace, and who is afraid of Liu Chengfeng? If you figure this out, you will have a clue."

"You mean?" Jiang Bing looked at Liu Chengfeng in surprise and said tentatively: "Eunuch Xiao Jing and Eunuch Xiao?"

Only this Dongchang Factory Mansion has the ability to mobilize the power to snipe at the first time. Only this eunuch Bingbi can be in ubiquitous in the palace, and no news can be hidden from him. As for Xiao Jing and Liu Chengfeng, they were originally a pair of enemies. Since the establishment of the Dongchang Factory, the dispute between the factory guards has never stopped. It is normal to fight openly and secretly.

Now that the Jinyiwei is becoming more and more powerful, who can guarantee that Xiao Jing will not take risks?

Jiang Bing was scared and sweated all over. He had been in Hanlin for a long time. In fact, he had never experienced any big struggle. Even if he had occasional intrigue, he had never lived to the death. How could he think that this power struggle was so intense?

He sighed and said, "This is just Duke Lian's guess?"

Liu Chengfeng said, "If it weren't for speculation, would someone Liu still have time to sit here?" After Liu Chengfeng said that, he smiled as if he was ridiculed.

Jiang Bing just laughed dryly and said nothing.

Liu Chengfeng went out to Xiao Jie and walked out of the small hall of the backyard. He took advantage of the night to look for the thatched cottage in the cool breeze. He saw that a corner of the backyard was quite secluded, so he was about to go there. He had just passed through a faint moon cave, but someone called him behind him: "Master...Master..."

Liu Chengfeng turned around and saw that it was the butler of the Jiang Mansion. He couldn't help but stop and said with a smile: "What, is there a thatched house here?"

Butler Jiang shook his head as if he was rattled and said, "The villain took the man to the thatched cottage, but as for this place, he must not go there."

"Why?" Liu Chengfeng asked.

Butler Jiang said with a little fear on his face, "This is haunted."

"Haunted?"

Liu Chengfeng glanced at the secluded row of houses after the Moon Cave. It seemed that no one had lived there for a long time, so it seemed particularly gloomy, especially under the moonlight, which was a bit terrifying.

However, Liu Chengfeng disagreed with Butler Jiang’s haunted words and said, “Is that so? Could it be that Butler Jiang has seen it with his own eyes?”

"This..." Butler Jiang obviously did not want to talk in depth, and after a long time, he said: "I have never seen him before, but many people have seen him. He is a female ghost. This is the case when my master just set up this house. He came out every now and then, scared people, and it is to be honest..." Butler Jiang said hesitantly: "The second lady in the family has been scared to death."

"Miss II?" Liu Chengfeng said with a smile: "Who is Miss II?"

Mr. Jiang said, "It's my cousin of my adult family. Her parents went there early, so they have been living in my adult family. Later, when the adults became officials in high school, the second lady followed him. He died half a month ago. For this, Shuntian Mansion also came to investigate, saying that the cause of death could not be found. In fact, everyone in the mansion knows that the second lady was scared to death by a ghost. You have never seen the second lady when she died. Alas..." Mr. Jiang sighed regretfully and continued, "My lord has actually suffered a lot of blows in the past few days. Although he talked and laughed with people every day, he has always been depressed. He has instructed Shuntian Mansion to investigate this case several times, but there is no clue at all on Shuntian Mansion. Alas..."

Liu Chengfeng narrowed his eyes: "No wonder."

"No wonder, Master?" Butler Jiang couldn't help but say.

Liu Chengfeng said: "No wonder your elders made some unexpected moves. I guess they were disheartened and had no intention of career."

Butler Jiang couldn't understand and was confused. Then he said embarrassedly: "Sir, let's stay away from here. The villain will take you to the cottage. If something happens to me, my parents and villain will not be able to afford to be guilty."

Liu Chengfeng nodded, and after following the butler Jiang to Xiaojie, he went back to drink. Jiang Bing actually ate a lot of wine while Liu Chengfeng Xiaojie was in a short time. He was a little confused and even became unrestrained in his speech. He laughed and said, "Duke Lian Guoguo, I am the prince consort, I wonder if there will be a dispute over the factory guards, and whether there will be any intrigue?"

Liu Chengfeng went to call Butler Jiang and said, "Your lord is drunk, please help me and go and rest."

Butler Jiang responded, and Liu Chengfeng was not inconvenient to stay for a long time. He came out of Jiang Mansion. Outside Jiang Mansion, there were Jinyiwei and the arrests everywhere, blocking the entire street. When Liu Chengfeng came out, Chen Hongyu came over in person and said, "I am sorry for the attack, and the humble one cannot arrive in time."

Liu Chengfeng patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay, yes, what clues can be found now?"

Chen Hongyu said: "I have investigated everywhere. Those assassins are potentially attacking an archery in a house. The house has also been inquired about it. It is the mansion of an adult, but he has now been left to Sichuan. Therefore, there is no one in this mansion except an old servant with a faint eyes. It must have been the assassin who sneaked in, went up to the walls and roofs, and ambushed and waited for the man here. I also asked someone to ask the old servant, saying that he had used tea at noon, and he was drowsy and fell asleep, knowing nothing."

Liu Chengfeng nodded, but a trace of suspicion flashed through his eyes. He seemed to have discovered something, but he didn't say anything else, just said, "Where did those assassins escape?"

"There are no footprints nearby, and it has not been found yet. Everyone in the garrison station is now investigating the news, looking for people from door to door, and there will be news tomorrow."

Liu Chengfeng nodded and said, "I'm afraid everyone will work hard."

Chen Hongyu lowered his voice: "The East Factory is also investigating everywhere now. Eunuch Xiao Jing and Xiao are in charge. He also said that he should work together with our Jinyiwei to abandon past grudges and find these assassins."

"Is that true?" Liu Chengfeng said coldly, "Don't pay attention to them, just sweep the snow in front of the door."

"Yes, there is another thing. There is a case in Shuntian Mansion. It was from Jiang Bing, a Hanlin Shuji Shi. It was said that Jiang Bing's cousin was scared to death by a ghost. Go to Shuntian Mansion and ask, and see what Shuntian Mansion says. Come and go back to the house."
