NFBE Chapter 178 Brothers with ulterior motives!
Chapter 178 Brothers with ulterior motives!
After Li Changsheng finished speaking, he saw that Jiang Kuanglong was still staring at him.
He raised his eyebrows and said demonstratively:
"Commander-in-Chief, if you don't believe me, you can go and ask His Majesty, the Queen, or the General in person to verify whether what I said is true or not."
Jiang Kuanglong: "..."
What are the identities and status of these three people?
Just because I say I can find it, can I find it?
Unless, I want to die!
"Captain Li, I came here just to verify something, nothing else!"
"I apologize for disturbing you so much!"
After saying this, he waved at his men with a gloomy face.
"let's go!"
After returning to the commander's camp, Jiang Kuanglong asked with a dark face:
"When was the last time you saw Jiang Li?"
Jiang Jian said in a trembling voice: "Before Jiang Li disappeared, he was with me. We drank a lot of alcohol together at that time."
"I had something urgent to do, so I left first. When I came back, Jiang Li was gone."
"At the time, I thought he had gone home after drinking, so I didn't take it seriously..."
After hearing Jiang Jian's answer, Jiang Kuanglong looked at him with a little more suspicion.
Although he also knew that Li Changsheng said that because he was suspected of sowing discord.
But once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will take root and sprout in your heart.
Then, it grows like crazy until it completely devours sanity.
Besides, flies don't bite seamless eggs.
What Li Changsheng said does make some sense.
Jiang Li and Jiang Jian are both outstanding members of the younger generation of the Jiang family.
If Jiang Li died in a confused state, the biggest beneficiary would undoubtedly be Jiang Jian.
Moreover, as far as he knew, Jiang Jian had a girlfriend in Zuihonglou.
But this girl was forcibly taken away by Jiang Li when he was drunk.
Jiang Jian wanted to step forward to dissuade them, but was beaten by Jiang Li instead.
It is said that Jiang Li at that time was still lisp-filled and shouted something at Jiang Jian.
[As long as Jiang Li is still alive, it's not your turn, Jiang Jian, to have a say in the Jiang family!]
Therefore, no one can guarantee whether Jiang Jian will hold a grudge against this?
What's more, he is still young and energetic, and is most likely to risk his life for his beloved.
The more Jiang Kuanglong looked at Jiang Jian, the more he felt that he was the murderer.
Jiang Jian, feeling uneasy from being stared at, suddenly thought of something and hurriedly reported:
"By the way, uncle, someone once saw Jiang Li entering the harem!"
Hearing Jiang Jian's words, Jiang Kuanglong's thoughts were immediately withdrawn, and his expression became solemn in an instant.
"Outside court officials cannot enter the harem without a summons from His Majesty and the Queen Mother. What is Jiang Li doing in the harem?"
Jiang Jian carefully considered his words and said, "It seems like he followed a palace maid in!"
Hearing this, Jiang Kuanglong's brows couldn't help but twist into a lump of flesh.
Knowing son Moruo father.
This really sounds like something Jiang Li could do.
What's more, he had drunk quite a bit of alcohol at that time.
Jiang Kuanglong asked, "Have you found out which palace that maid is from?"
Jiang Jian said, "She's the maid from Beiyuan who served Li Changsheng. Her name seems to be Lanzhi."
"Moreover, because of this palace maid, Jiang Li and Li Changsheng had a conflict in the Yanshi County Government Office. The two sides almost came to blows, and it was very embarrassing..."
Jiang Kuanglong paused for a moment and asked, "Jiang Jian, are you saying that Jiang Li followed this palace maid named Lanzhi to Beiyuan?"
Jiang Jian couldn't guarantee this either.
After all, these were just hearsays from others, without any solid evidence.
Now his uncle has already suspected him. If he continues to speak with certainty without any solid evidence, he will be mistakenly thought to be trying to get rid of the suspicion of murder and forcibly pass the blame.
"Uncle, this nephew can't guarantee that Jiang Li is in Beiyuan. However, we can send people to Beiyuan to search!"
Jiang Kuanglong's face was gloomy. He asked, "Beiyuan is inside the harem. As generals from the outer court, we are not allowed to enter without being summoned. How can we go and search it?"
Jiang Jian said, "Uncle, why don't you go to the Queen Mother and ask for a written order?"
Before Jiang Jian could finish his words, Jiang Kuanglong shook his head.
"This is unacceptable. Entering the harem without permission is a capital offense. If Jiang Li were to act impulsively because of drunkenness and do something out of line, it would bring shame to our Jiang family and even bring disgrace to the Queen Mother!"
Jiang Chonghu, who had been silent all this time, took the opportunity to say:
Jiang Tao hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother, Jiang Li's disappearance is definitely related to Li Changsheng."
"How about this? Tonight, we send a few people to Beiyuan secretly to investigate and see if Jiang Li is hiding there?"
After hearing this, Jiang Kuanglong fell into deep thought, thinking about the feasibility of this method.
Although Beiyuan is also in the inner court, it is located in the marginal area.
Even the Imperial City's internal guards rarely patrol there.
If it's just a secret investigation, there shouldn't be any big problems.
"Well, then, as you say, we'll send someone to Beiyuan to conduct a secret investigation!"
Seeing that his uncle had agreed, Jiang Jian volunteered to clear his suspicion.
"Uncle, let me go to Beiyuan tonight!"
Jiang Kuanglong pondered for a moment and shook his head.
"No, Li Changsheng is very skilled. You are no match for him. If you are discovered, he will easily catch you."
"By then, our Jiang family will be completely passive."
Jiang Jian felt depressed when he heard his uncle speak so bluntly.
But he really could do nothing about it.
After all, what my uncle said was true.
On the ring, Li Changsheng’s punch.
It is a shame that he will never be able to wash away in his lifetime.
Thinking of this, Jiang Jian clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and thought angrily:
Li Changsheng, I will definitely defeat you and use your blood to wash away the shame you have inflicted on me!
Jiang Chonghu volunteered, "Brother, let me go!"
Jiang Kuanglong pondered for a moment and nodded.
"Well, that's fine. For something as important as this, we really need someone as steady as you."
"Chonghu, remember to bring a few unfamiliar assassins with you. If we are discovered, we must deal with them thoroughly and leave no evidence behind. Otherwise, our entire Jiang family will be put in a passive position!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chonghu clasped his fists and saluted, then said with a solemn oath:
"Brother, don't worry, I know what to do and I guarantee I'll get it done beautifully!"
After hearing Jiang Chonghu's assurance, Jiang Kuanglong finally smiled with relief.
"Very good, you guys go down and prepare first!"
Jiang Chonghu and his son Jiang Jian bowed in turn and left.
After watching the father and son walk out of the commander's camp, Jiang Kuanglong's expression instantly turned cold again.
He quickly called over a confidant and solemnly instructed him, "Weimar, follow them secretly tonight and see what the father and son are up to."
The man called Weimar asked, "My Lord, do you still doubt that the young master was murdered by them?"
Jiang Kuanglong said gloomily: "Whoever makes the most profit is the most suspicious!"
"Until there is solid evidence pointing to Li Changsheng as the murderer of Jiang Li, both father and son will always be suspects!"
Having said that, he also looked at the tiger-skin throne under his butt.
As if it was lonely up there, he muttered to himself.
"Someone has been eyeing my position for a long time..."
