Chapter 265: Chicken Feet Revealed

The drizzle was still falling, carrying the cold wind, falling on the skin, piercingly cold.

In the courtyard, there was silence.

Under the black umbrella, the master and servant were still standing in the same place.

Not far away, Zhou Ruijin's body fell heavily on the bluestone slab, making a dull sound.

Zhou Ruijin, who was just dressed in brocade and looked like a gentleman, was already in a mess. The clothes on his body were stained with mud, mixed with rain and looked extremely dirty. On his face, which was originally handsome and beautiful, it was now full of astonishment, staring at the two people in front of him with hideous and humiliating eyes.

"Puff!"

Zhou Ruijin's face was pale, and he suddenly felt stuffy in his chest, and his whole body was in pain as if it was falling apart. The body was churning, and there seemed to be a fishy smell in his throat.

He spat out a mouthful of blood.

Mixed with the rain on the ground, it looked embarrassed and dazzling.

All around, after a brief silence, a shocking wave was instantly set off.

Uproar!

Unbelievable!

No one expected that Zhou Ruijin would suddenly attack.

He dared to suddenly attack the Prince of Lin in public.

Is he crazy? !

After all, he is the Prince of Lin!

Assassination in public, whether successful or not, is a capital crime!

For a moment, countless people's eyes fell on Zhou Yao in front of the hall.

Although Zhou Ruijin is Zhou Huiguang's cousin, he actually has no great blood relationship with the Zhou family. He can only be regarded as a descendant of a collateral branch of the Zhou family.

If Zhou Yao didn't instruct him, how could he dare to attack the Prince of Lin in public?

Countless people stared at Zhou Yao, who had no expression on his face and no joy, and their minds were different.

This Zhou Yao really has lost his mind.

Crazy!

At the same time, countless people stared at the Prince of Lin in the courtyard in a black robe, and they were terrified.

Zhou Ruijin's sudden attack just now was beyond everyone's expectation. It was difficult to react at such a close distance.

How did he do it?

Some figures with good martial arts skills at the scene set their eyes on the cold-tempered maid behind Prince Lin, and their expressions gradually became solemn.

Obviously, they just saw the traces of the maid's attack.

But, the speed was too fast!

So fast that almost no one at the scene could see how she attacked.

No wonder Prince Lin dared to come alone, it turned out that he was well prepared.

Today, the visitor is not kind? !

"You are too heavy."

Lin Jiangnian glanced at Zhou Ruijin, who was spitting blood and looking pale not far away, and then glanced at Zhiyuan, who was expressionless beside him, and shook his head softly.

Zhiyuan glanced at him and said nothing.

Lin Jiangnian retracted his gaze and looked up at Zhou Yao in front of him, saying indifferently: "Master Zhou, don't you care?"

The tone of understatement seemed to show that he didn't take what happened just now seriously.

Zhou Yao still stared at Lin Jiangnian, his eyes deep and cold. After a while, he said expressionlessly: "Rujin is ignorant and offended His Royal Highness!"

As he said that, Zhou Yao suddenly turned his head and stared at Zhou Ruijin not far away: "Come over and apologize to His Royal Highness!"

"Why?!"

Zhou Ruijin, who fell to the ground, looked extremely ugly, gritted his teeth and stared at Lin Jiangnian: "Uncle, he killed my cousin, he is a murderer, and today he came to humiliate us openly, why should I apologize to him?!"

"If I have to apologize, he should pay for my cousin's life first!"

Zhou Ruijin's eyes were full of resentment and cold.

Zhou Yao was silent, and then his cold eyes fell on Lin Jiangnian again, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, can you give me an explanation?"

Singing the same tune?

Lin Jiangnian smiled: "What does Lord Zhou want to explain?"

"What deep hatred does my son have with His Highness that His Highness wants to kill him?"

Zhou Yao's voice was trembling: "Even if my son has offended His Highness, it is not a crime punishable by death... Why does His Highness want to kill him?!"

The cold tone, with the questioning coming at him, was as powerful as a rainbow.

Lin Jiangnian said calmly: "This prince has said that Zhou Huiguang's death has nothing to do with me!"

"The evidence is irrefutable, who else can it be but you? You are still quibbling now, confusing right and wrong in front of so many people?"

Zhou Ruijin sneered and questioned: "So many people saw the Lu family wedding that day, what else do you have to say?"

"Saw it with your own eyes?"

Lin Jiangnian sneered, his eyes swept across the courtyard, and his indifferent eyes swept over everyone under the eaves one by one: "This prince is curious, who saw it with their own eyes? Stand out and see?"

There was a commotion around, and people were talking about it.

But no one stood up.

Everyone is not stupid, no one wants to be the first to come forward.

More importantly, although the evidence is irrefutable, if you say that you really saw it with your own eyes... that's really not the case.

Many people present today also witnessed Zhou Huiguang's death with their own eyes. Everyone can only be sure that Zhou Huiguang's death is probably related to the Prince of Lin, but when they arrived at the scene, Zhou Huiguang had already stopped breathing.

No one actually saw Lin Jiangnian kill Zhou Huiguang, and there were many doubts in this case. The other party was the Prince of Lin, so naturally no one wanted to cause this trouble.

"The evidence you said is conclusive, and you saw it with your own eyes, is this the case?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at Zhou Ruijin.

Zhou Ruijin saw the reactions of the people around him, and his face was extremely ugly, and he couldn't believe it.

He never expected that the group of people who were just filled with righteous indignation, threatening to uphold justice and irreconcilable with Lin Jiangnian, now all chose to keep silent tacitly.

No one spoke!

Zhou Ruijin's eyes swept over the few people who had just spoken the most fiercely, but saw that those people either avoided their eyes, or had already hidden behind the crowd, or talked about something else...

Zhou Ruijin's heart sank.

A sense of sadness surged in his heart!

The warmth and coldness of the people in the capital is more indifferent than imagined.

They are all hypocritical people.

At this time, Zhou Yao's low voice came again: "Since His Royal Highness Lin Wang Shizi claimed that he did not kill my son, why did my son die in front of His Royal Highness?"

"Your Highness, how do you explain?"

Facing Zhou Yao's gloomy and cold eyes, Lin Jiangnian said indifferently: "What should be said, this prince has already explained it last time. If Lord Zhou wants to know the truth, he should ask those friends of Mr. Zhou before his death. I think they should know something..."

As he said, Lin Jiangnian's eyes fell on Li Qianlin and Gao Wenyang not far away.

Seeing this, the two of them changed their faces and became angry: "What do you mean? How do we know?"

Lin Jiangnian laughed: "This prince hasn't said anything about you yet, why are you so eager to jump out?"

"You..."

Li Qianlin and Gao Wenyang's faces turned blue and red.

Li Qianlin's face was even more gloomy: "Lin Jiangnian, don't try to excuse yourself and change the subject!"

"Why should this prince excuse himself?"

Lin Jiangnian said calmly: "This prince and Zhou Huiguang have never met before, what's the benefit of killing him? If you really want to kill him... count it, Mr. Li and this prince have had conflicts before, right?"

"If you want to kill, you should be killed first, right?!"

After these words came out, the surroundings were silent.

No one expected that this prince of Lin Wang would say something shocking.

So arrogant and presumptuous in public? !

But after being shocked, thinking carefully, this seems to... make some sense?

Li Qianlin's face turned pale instantly, ugly and alert: "You, what do you want to do?!"

"It's not enough for you to kill Mr. Zhou, you also want to kill me?!"

"Haha!"

Lin Jiangnian responded with two haha, retracted his gaze, no longer caring about this idiot, and his gaze fell on Zhou Yao again: "For Mr. Zhou's misfortune, this prince feels very sympathetic. Although this prince and Mr. Zhou have had unpleasant conflicts, death is the greatest."

"I came here today, but I just want to burn incense for Mr. Zhou... I wonder if Lord Zhou welcomes you?"

From beginning to end, Lin Jiangnian's tone was very calm.

The handsome face under the black robe, the handsome temperament, and the calm aura that always shocked many people.

Indistinctly, they saw a bit of the aura of the old Prince Lin from the young man in front of them.

Zhou Yao stared at Lin Jiangnian's eyes for a long time, and finally, he spoke in a hoarse voice and expressionless.

"Since His Royal Highness Prince Lin is here to see my son off, he is welcome."

When these words came out, many people around were stunned.

Agreed?

Can this be agreed?

I thought Zhou Yao would drive Prince Lin out. Even if he couldn't drive him out, he would never let him burn incense for his son!

The murderer burns incense for the victim... Isn't this a joke?

Zhou Ruijin's face instantly became extremely ugly. He wanted to say something, but saw that Zhou Yao in front of the hall had already made way.

"Wait for me here."

Lin Jiangnian whispered to Zhiyuan beside him. Zhiyuan didn't say anything, but looked up at the hall in front.

"Don't worry, they dare not do it."

Lin Jiangnian comforted in a low voice, then raised his head, flicked his sleeves lightly, and stepped into the hall calmly.

...

In the hall, the atmosphere was depressing and dull.

Silence all around.

Lin Jiangnian stood quietly in front of the spirit tablet, looking at Zhou Huiguang in the portrait in front of him, his eyes indifferent, and sighed secretly.

"Although I didn't kill you, your death is inextricably linked to me!"

"You are a pitiful person. You probably didn't realize until you died that you were deceived... If you want revenge, go find the real murderer who killed you..."

"In your next life, remember not to be used as a gun so easily..."

Lin Jiangnian looked indifferent and burned incense calmly. After inserting the incense into the incense burner in front of him, he slowly turned around. Zhou Yao stood behind him expressionlessly, staring at him coldly without saying a word.

The empty hall was empty.

"Master Zhou, do you want to catch the real murderer who killed your son and avenge Master Zun?"

Lin Jiangnian suddenly spoke.

Hearing this, Zhou Yao's eyes seemed to have a gleam of light, and he stared at him coldly: "What do you mean by this?"

Lin Jiangnian looked into his eyes and chuckled: "I guess, Lord Zhou doesn't really believe that Mr. Zhou was killed by this prince, right?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yao just stared at him expressionlessly without answering.

But tacitly speaking, it was equivalent to answering.

"Mr. Zhou has been building momentum in the capital these days, putting pressure on all parties, trying to force this prince to show up... But in fact, Lord Zhou has not really taken action. In Lord Zhou's heart, there are doubts, right?"

Lin Jiangnian said: "This prince has no grudges with your Zhou family, and there is no need to kill Mr. Zhou. What's more, it is... such a low-level frame-up method?"

Zhou Yao's pupils suddenly shrank, and he stared at Lin Jiangnian: "What do you know?"

"If it wasn't you, who killed my son?!"

Faced with Zhou Yao's excited expression, Lin Jiangnian spoke indifferently.

"That depends on whether Lord Zhou is willing to believe this prince once!"

"..."

The Zhou family, the courtyard is still immersed in a weird atmosphere.

Li Qianlin stared at the hall, his eyes gloomy and a little complicated, a little fearful.

Recalling what Lin Jiangnian said just now that he wanted to kill him, Li Qianlin couldn't help but feel a little cold in his heart. When he was about to turn around and say something to Gao Wenyang beside him, he saw that there was no one beside him.

Hey, where is Brother Gao?

On the other side, a figure quietly left the Zhou family from the side door, crossed the street along the quiet alley, and came to the outside of an old house next door.

He walked into the courtyard, came to the outside of a room, and whispered: "Lin Jiangnian came, just making trouble in the Zhou family... I don't know what his purpose is, Zhou Yao actually let him go in to burn incense for Zhou Huiguang, damn..."

After the report was finished, there was silence in the room for a long time before a cold voice came out.

"Keep watching, report any situation at any time!"

"Yes."

After receiving the order, the figure left the courtyard and returned the same way.

At this moment, in the room.

A young man in brocade clothes sat on the couch, his eyes indifferent, and said without hesitation: "What do you think he wants to do?"

"I don't know."

Situ Yan shook his head lightly and frowned: "His behavior is a bit abnormal. He should be more low-key at this time. Why did he suddenly appear so high-profile today?"

"The purpose may not be simple!"

"Let him go, he can't do anything."

The third prince retracted his gaze and half-squinted his eyes: "What's the situation in the palace?"

"Her Royal Highness the Princess has strengthened the defense of the palace, and no news has been heard for the time being. But I think... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's situation should not be optimistic."

"I heard that the Princess had recently Several famous doctors have been invited to the palace..."

"Not optimistic?"

The third prince narrowed his eyes, and his eyes seemed to be shining with excitement: "Not optimistic, it's good, he really didn't lie to me!"

"I have waited for so long, and finally I have to wait for this day!"

Situ Yan hesitated: "Your Highness, be careful of fraud!"

"I know."

The third prince's eyes were cold, "I have waited for so long, and it doesn't matter if I wait for a while."

Seemingly thinking of something: "Father..."

"Your Highness, don't worry, everything is as planned."

"..."

In the deserted alley, Gao Wenyang was preparing to return along the original route.

Just as he walked to the entrance of the alley, a figure suddenly appeared in his sight, blocking his way.

"Who are you? !"

Gao Wenyang was instantly alert, staring at a young woman in his sight.

Heroic and valiant, with a good temperament.

But the long knife across his waist was particularly dazzling!

He is not friendly!

Especially when the other party's cold eyes fell on him, Gao Wenyang had an ominous premonition: "You, what do you want to do?!"

He took two steps back, his whole body tensed, and the next second, he turned around and ran.

But just after running two steps, a figure flashed by the corner of his eye. The next second, there was a heavy impact on his shoulder.

"Ah!"

Gao Wenyang screamed and fell to the ground in a mess. Before he could react, his collar was lifted up and the whole person was suspended in the air.

"You, what are you going to do?!"

"Let go, let me go, you...ah..."

Gao Wenyang continued to struggle, and was hit hard on his lower abdomen. The pain made him churn and his eyes went black.

Before he could scream, he felt his body flying up, over several walls, and landed in a small courtyard.

Afterwards, Gao Wenyang was thrown to the ground, rolling on the ground in a mess, his body covered with mud.

"You, you're dead, you know my father is..."

Gao Wenyang wanted to speak angrily, but suddenly heard a cold voice in his ear.

"Your Highness, the person has been captured!"

Your Highness?

Gao Wenyang's whole body seemed to suddenly become cold and stiff, and he looked up suddenly and met a pair of familiar eyes.

She was smiling at him harmlessly.

"Mr. Gao, what a coincidence!"
