Chapter 987 -986: Prime Minister Dies Suddenly, Beiqi Kingdom State Preceptor_1
“Hmph!”
Lu Gui disdainfully turned away, just as he was about to flare up, a panicked Imperial Guard ran over and whispered in his ear.
“What?”
Lu Gui’s face changed dramatically, and he glared fiercely at Xu Ruoyun as he led his team out of the alley.
“Wailing, damn dog officials, give me back my son’s life!”
“Father, Father, you died so miserably!”
“Killing is against the law. We cannot let this go. We must make him pay for his life!”
“Yes, make him pay, make him pay!”
“We will not let up until the dog official is killed!”
Although Lu Gui ran away, the incident was far from over. The people of Capital City were filled with righteous indignation and took to the streets to petition for the punishment of the dog official, further intensifying the situation.

The birds were well-informed. In less than half a day since the bloody incident, Little Kingfisher had already told her young master all the details.
“The inevitable has finally come.”
Lin Qingluo’s heart sank, “What’s the story with the letter that slandered my grandfather?”
“The letter was found in the Duke of Zhen’s study, and it’s dated two months ago,”
Little Kingfisher speculated secretly: “That is to say, this matter was planned long ago. The letter was already in the Duke of Zhen’s study before we returned from Jinling.”
“Impossible.”
Lin Qingluo firmly denied: “Before my grandfather left, all the letters in his study were burned, not even a single piece of paper was left.”
“In that case, the letter only appeared in the study after we left the Duke of Zhen’s Mansion.”
Little Kingfisher quickly responded: “The date on the letter was deliberately written as two months ago, just to frame and set up.”
“Exactly.”
Lin Qingluo nodded, an involuntary surge of anger rising: “This person is truly despicable, leaving the letter deliberately for others to find and slander my grandfather.”
“The Prime Minister was killed in his bedroom, and the Shadow Guards in the Prime Minister’s Mansion didn’t notice the assassin.”
Little Kingfisher’s thoughts were exceptionally clear: “In your opinion, Master, is the person who killed the Prime Minister and placed the letter the same person?”
“Most likely.”
Lin Qingluo was deep in thought: “And it’s very likely the same person who took Noble Lord away.”
“A cultivator?”
Little Kingfisher deduced in an instant: “One of the two state preceptors hired by the King of Beiqi.”
Lin Qingluo’s eyes were cold, like ice and frost: “No one else could have committed murder under the watchful eyes of the Shadow Guards except for them.”
“No wonder he killed the Prime Minister.”
Little Kingfisher sneered: “It turns out Noble Lord was pulling strings to avenge himself.”
“Noble Lord must be involved in this matter.”
Lin Qingluo was still angry: “He holds a deep understanding of Fengqi’s state of affairs, using the letter to sow discord and provoke the Empress to take action against the Duke of Zhen’s Mansion, creating chaos and courting favor with his new lord.”
Little Kingfisher sneered: “The Empress really fell for it just as he expected.”
“Even without Noble Lord’s instigation, the Empress would have taken action against the Duke of Zhen’s Mansion sooner or later.”
Lin Qingluo’s saw it clearly: “The appearance of the letter provided her with a perfect excuse to reclaim power and remove a major internal threat.”
“Master, is it time for us to take action now?”
Little Kingfisher’s eyes twinkled with mischief: “Let’s go to Beiqi’s capital city and turn it upside down so that the Beiqi Monarch knows how powerful this Divine Beast baby is.”
“No, we’re not going to Beiqi’s capital.”
Lin Qingluo’s eyes were bright: “The glory of the Lin Clan’s Army cannot be questioned.”
Little Kingfisher’s heartbeat accelerated: “Master, you mean…”
“Since the Beiqi Monarch accuses my grandfather of colluding with Beiqi and committing traitorous acts, we will use irrefutable facts to crush his conspiracy.”
