After a thorough investigation, it seemed that everything was being handled at once, including the countless officials involved, as they were affected by the incident in Jincheng City. Murong Yu had initially been extremely frustrated, but now he put all his effort into investigating the case for evidence, and Lan Ruocheng had been busy day and night with him. He couldn't help but cry out in pain.

"I said, why did you work so hard when you came back to Jincheng?" And didn't he receive the emperor's secret decree to urge him to go back and accompany my wangfei sister-in-law to settle the case as soon as possible? "

Mu Rong Yu was silent as he urged his horse forward. He glared at Lan Ruochen when he heard her and said, "Cut the crap. It's our job to handle this properly. What are you dawdling for?"

"How am I dawdling!" Lan Ruocheng complained loudly, "It took a lot of effort for me to get the evidence of Zhou Kaiyuan colluding with Song Ping. Zhao Yuan is too smart, it's not my problem if I can't find any evidence!"

Murong Yu became silent once again. Lan Ruochen held it in for a while, but still couldn't help but ask: "What happened to you? Why are you always so dark after coming back from Jincheng? Did something happen at Jincheng?" "What happened to you? If you treat me as your brother, can you not hold everything in?"

"Nothing much, I just want to finish what I'm doing, don't worry about anything else." Murong Yu's tone was slightly cold.

After a while, he changed the topic and said, "The first day is already the day after tomorrow. The beauty contest in Jiangdu is almost ready, should we change our identities to participate in it, or continue to investigate in secret?"

"According to the clues we have, this competition is most likely a trap. Zhao Yuan definitely has another goal, maybe even more than one goal. Since you haven't shown your face in the past, I'll let you participate in it in the name of a rich merchant's son."

"Alright, I'd like to see what tricks they can come up with."

"The peace and quiet during this period of time should be able to paralyze them somewhat. If you discover any situation, do not move. Wait until all the evidence is gathered before dealing with them in one fell swoop. Let them be unable to defend themselves!" Murong Yu's expression was firm and cold once more.

Lan Ruocheng asked again, "The Jiang capital is close to the territory of the Carefree King. I wonder if anyone from the Carefree King's side will come over to join in the fun. Should we split up two people to pay attention to the movements there?"

"I already told Black Nine to do it. What I'm worried about the most is that Uncle Wang is also involved in this matter. If that's the case, then it will be even more troublesome." Murong Yu frowned. Actually, he had already discovered some clues. This case not only involved the court officials, but also people from the imperial harem. If the Carefree King had a part, then it would be extraordinary.

Lan Ruocheng also narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems that this matter is not just going to get out of hand. If this matter were to be cleared up, you will definitely offend a lot of people."

"So what if we offend people!" Since royal father has arranged for me to handle this matter, I believe that he has long understood the importance of this case and its difficulty. Help me find some friends in the martial arts world, this time we do not need to be lenient! " After Murong Yu finished speaking, he shook the reins and urged the horse forward without hesitation.

"I wonder why Third Prince is looking for This King?" Outside the lake, the rain was falling heavily. As the willow trees caressed the shore, a few sprouts were already beginning to appear. In the private room, Murong Ming looked at the ripples on the lake and his expression was extremely cold.

Lu Shixun laughed indifferently, "The reason we invited Prince Wang here is naturally not to enjoy the scenery, but to discuss a matter of business."

"Oh? This King has long ceased to do business. "

"Your highness is wrong. Before, Your highness could barely be considered half a businessman, but now, you should be a true businessman. We have to talk about big business that ordinary people can't do." Lu Shixun said in an enigmatic tone.

Murong Chong was still unmoved. Lu Shiyun did not marry the crown prince, but Lu Shixun was a cunning and cunning person and was not that easy to deal with. He said indifferently, "Your big business deal should be better discussed with the crown prince's palace."

Lu Shixun leaned back in his chair and said, "His Highness the Crown Prince is proud and arrogant, and is not suited for this kind of business. If Your Highness also doesn't want to talk about it, then this prince can go talk to the imperial concubine directly. I'm sure the imperial concubine will be interested."

"Just say what you want to say!" Hearing him mention Qian Yulian, Murong Ming started to get impatient.

However, Lu Shixun had a cynical smile on his face. He calmly stared at Murong Hui and said, "Since Your Highness does not seem to believe my sincerity, then I'll send a message to Your Highness first!"

Murong Hui leaned back in his chair and coldly said, "Speak, stop keeping us in suspense."

"Others say that Duke Ming is a gentle, refined, and modest gentleman, but I feel that His Highness is a fierce tiger on the top of a mountain. However, there is more than one tiger on the mountain. As Lu Shixun spoke, he carefully observed Murong Chong's expression. He had to make sure that he placed his bets in the right place.

Mu Rong Ming's expression changed slightly, but he said in a low voice: "What does the Duke of Qin's whereabouts have anything to do with me!"

Lu Shixun did not deny it and continued, "The Duke of Qin should be in Yucheng right now. He is secretly investigating the corruption case in your Meng City, and according to what I see, I must have secretly ordered him to go investigate."

"This King knows about this case. This matter is nothing more than a hot potato. He won't be able to gain anything by doing this." Mu Rong Ming's expression relaxed slightly as he replied in a calm voice.

Lu Shixun shook his head and said, "Your Highness' words are lacking, His Highness Crown Prince has always been in poor health, but the Prince has always assumed great responsibilities. Although everything he has done is not beneficial, it clearly shows the Emperor's trust in him.

"So what? It is only our brothers' duty to share royal father's worries. "

"I heard that the Emperor's health has been poor for the past two years, and that the Crown Prince's body is very poor, and that he only knows how to live a life of luxury. Is the Crown Prince not afraid of changing the Emperor?" Lu Shixun said bluntly.

Murong Fu's expression turned sullen again. "Third Prince, what other information did you get? You're standing in the imperial capital of Beheng. Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"

"I, Lu, have always liked to speak frankly. If Prince doesn't like it then there's nothing I can do, but just a few words can't cure my crime." Lu Shixun finished his sentence with a smile and began to drink his tea. He was only setting the bait, he wasn't in a hurry to eat it.

Lu Shixun's leisurely attitude made Murong Yong angry, but he couldn't really do anything about it. After a moment of silence, he asked, "What exactly is the business that the Third Prince is talking about?"

"I believe that Duke Ming has probably heard of the matter of my Southern Champion Immolation before, this is not a secret, no matter what country it is from, we naturally cannot avoid these matters. To hide the truth, Your Highness, this prince also has the same intentions, the reason why I am staying put is because the time has not come, and although Prince Bei Heng does not have as many things as our Southern Champion, he is also very subtle." I had thought that since I married my royal sister to him, he would more or less be able to help me in the future. However, after some inquiries, not only is the crown prince not interested in the Southern Champion Kingdom, he doesn't even seem to be interested in the position of crown prince. Furthermore, the crown prince has always been very concerned about and cared for the Duke of Qin.

"Since the third prince favors the Prince, why not talk to him directly about the business?" Murong Ming interrupted.

Lu Shixun raised an eyebrow, "It's not that I don't want to find him, but that it's useless to look for him. The Duke of Qin has always been cold and aloof, and it's extremely difficult to make friends with him.

"Is the third prince certain that this king will not touch your nose?" Murong Hui coldly snorted.

I dare not say for sure, but I am still certain of your mother's intentions. If not, how could I bear with it for ten years, Prince is a filial son, and even if the Prince did not want to, I am afraid that he would comply with Imperial Concubine's wishes. I have considered this matter for a long time before deciding to cooperate with your highness, and if Your Highness truly does not wish to do so, then I will naturally retreat and think of another way. "

"The third prince had to hide in Bei Heng's residence to avoid danger. What can I get from doing business with the third prince?" Murong Ming had already started to relax. It was just that he did not fully trust Lu Shixun, and he had his doubts regarding Lu Shixun's strength as well.

He immediately displayed the demeanor of a king as he spoke in a deep voice, "Although Your Highness used to be in the civil realm, I believe that you have always been paying attention to the affairs of the country. I wonder if Your Highness has heard of the Southern Champion's' Hundred Beast Army ', which this prince personally taught."

"So that's how it is! It seems like the third prince of the Southern Champion Kingdom is destined to win without a doubt. Right now, he is not taking refuge, he is just watching from the sidelines, waiting for the others to suffer from heavy injuries. It will be even easier for the third prince to take action. When Lu Shixun mentioned the 'Hundred Beast Army', although he had a proud look on his face, Murong Ming did not pick on him again. Instead, he revealed a look of enlightenment, showing the might and influence of the 'Hundred Beast Army', he once again questioned, "Third Prince has such talent, coupled with the help of the 'Hundred Beast Army', it's not difficult for him to ascend to the throne. It's not very helpful to seek the cooperation of an idle prince like me, who hasn't even stepped into the politics of the imperial court!"

"How could that be? What I admire the most is a businessman, so I also like to do business myself, so naturally a businessman has to care about the word 'profit', which is beneficial to both sides. I have my own considerations, so this business is naturally beneficial to me, and it also has a very important role to play.

"Good!" Since the Third Prince is being so straightforward, this king is not someone to be trifled with. Let's talk when we meet again in three days. " Murong Mingtian's tone was short and forceful, and his facial expression became much calmer. On the contrary, it seemed to have become a bit more profound and unpredictable.

Lu Shixun laughed and raised his glass, "It's a deal! I will definitely not let Your Highness suffer a loss! "
