Chapter 671
Cui Yixiao was born in the frontier army, and spent some time in the Zefeng army, which had long been taboo. As an army deeply branded with the prince's mark, many officers here have personally seen the former prince himself.

Although Cui Yixiao was not a high-ranking official back then, he was also a seventh-rank official. Lu Hanjiang asked privately. Although the other party had no chance to meet the former prince face to face, he had met him several times from a distance.

The purpose of Lu Hanjiang asking him to identify the painting is very simple, to confirm the identity of the person in the painting.

The result was indeed not beyond his expectations, even though 20 years had passed, Cui Yixiao still recognized the former His Royal Highness at a glance.

Now that his identity has been confirmed, there is no need for Lu Hanjiang to talk anymore, the people around him have already started to act according to the previous instructions.

Lu Hanjiang and Xun Yinge had no grievances and no enmity, and the main reason for killing each other was not to keep it secret. In fact, if this matter were exposed, it would be conceivable that it would deal a blow to the Eastern Palace faction.

Regardless of the authenticity of this matter, as long as Jin Yiwei spreads it, no matter if it is false, three people become tigers, it will become something unclear. As for the truth behind this matter, who is Xun Yinge? How many people would care?

But Lu Hanjiang still gave up this opportunity. It can even be said that by killing Xun Yinge, Lu Hanjiang secretly helped the princess.

Of course, this was not because he suddenly realized that he wanted to shake hands with the other party, but because Lu Hanjiang himself had other considerations.

First of all, I have to admire the quality of the academy's disciples. Even Xun Yinge, who was calculated and misled to become a sweeping monk for ten years, is not an ordinary person, at least he is decisive enough in his heart.

Although Lu Hanjiang proved his identity by taking out Luo Fuzi's manuscript "The Analects", but don't forget that in Xun Yinge's cognition, even Qi Yunzhou, who he regards as his brother, can "betray", let alone others.

Lu Hanjiang is just a disciple who started after him, and in terms of the familiarity of the relationship, he is not even as good as the neighbors Xun Yinge knows now.

But even so, Xun Yinge still chooses to tell all the facts. It's not that he is crazy, but that he can't wait any longer and doesn't want to wait any longer.

Xun Yinge never gave up on the pursuit of the truth of the year. He used the pseudonym Qing Yao and hid himself in the academy. Everything he did was for the future.

Whether Lu Hanjiang is a partner who can cooperate is of little significance to Xun Yinge. All he needs is someone who believes in him and can be his mouthpiece or even a knife in his hand. As long as someone can see through his disguise, whether it is Whatever his identity, he would bet on it.

This kind of person is very scary, Lu Hanjiang is not sure that he can control Xun Yinge to let him act according to his ideas.

If one day in the future, Xun Yinge acts without authorization, not only will it be easy to expose Lu Hanjiang himself, but at the same time, there will be a high probability that the princess will counterattack, thus completely making this secret useless.

This possibility is very high, because the purposes of the two are fundamentally different. What Xun Yinge wants is to make the truth known to the public, to clear his name, and finally to deal with Qi Yunzhou, who he thinks is behind the scenes.

What Lu Hanjiang wanted was completely different from the other party's. At least in his vision, it would be a good thing for Qi Yunzhou to continue to be the speaker of the academy.

Although this person has a lot of power and a different heart, he is also a great person. If he wants to subdue the other party for his own use, it may not be possible overnight, but it is undeniable that Qi Yunzhou's way of life is very pleasing .

Lu Shangshu's layout is to allow Lu Hanjiang to gain the support of some literati, and among the academy, the one who is most likely to fall to Lu Hanjiang is Qi Yunzhou.

He doesn't even need to express anything, as long as the timing is right, it's almost a certainty that the other party will fall to Jin Yiwei, although in the future when ordering the other party to do things, he may encounter a bastard attitude of obedience and disobedience.

But so what?It is also impossible for Jin Yiwei to really distribute power to outsiders. Qi Yunzhou's lack of work has no effect on them at all.

This is a win-win deal. The Jinyiwei united with the academy, thus gaining the support of the literati and gaining momentum, and the academy can use the power of the Jinyiwei to protect itself in the capital.

There is even a future.

Regarding Lu Hanjiang's apprenticeship not long ago, although he didn't know what conditions Lu Shangshu promised to Old Master Luo, there must be something about the future.

As a courtier, when the current emperor was still alive, he wanted to seek another job as a dragon and make false comments about his successor. This is undoubtedly a manifestation of disloyalty.

But now His Majesty has long been obsessed with cultivating immortals and cannot extricate himself. People of insight have long given up hope that the old emperor will know his way back. Everyone is silently waiting for the new king to succeed him.

But judging from the current situation, from the most objective point of view, no matter which His Royal Highness takes the position in the future, the initiative will not be in their own hands.

Jinyiwei and Donggong——the result of the struggle between these two is the key to decide who will be the big one in the future.

It's inevitable for Luo Fuzi to bet separately, but this time his bet is a little higher, but it doesn't matter, anyway, his first disciple Qi Yunzhou has a flexible moral bottom line, and such things as shame can't be a factor that hinders him at all.

As long as this person is still around, no matter how brilliant the academy is, at least it won't be defeated in his generation.

One night passed, and at noon the next day, people on the street found that the gate of the academy was still tightly closed after the morning, and even the doctor who came to Qing for a follow-up visit today did not knock on the door.

Everyone was full of doubts, and finally someone couldn't help it. He moved a ladder, climbed over the wall and entered the academy. In this day and age, ordinary people respect scholars, even though the administrators in the academy are gone, no one dares to Go straight through the door.

Soon, an exclamation came from the academy, and now everyone was in a panic, but they didn't dare to force the gate, so they had to wait for the man to climb to the wall and shouted outside. ——

"Report to the officer! Something has happened to Mr. Qing Yao!"

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and when the officials arrived, led by the magistrate, everyone was finally able to enter the courtyard from the gate of the academy, and then they went straight to Qingyao's room, and as soon as they entered, they could smell a bloody smell.

Qing Yao was killed on the bed, his death was horrific, his eyes were wide open, his expression was ferocious, it was obvious that he was dying.

The magistrate was also shocked and angry. Although there were rangers and bandits in the land under his rule, and occasionally there were casualties, but those were all people from the quack, and they deserved their death.

Now this old man Qingyao is a good man, one of the people under his rule, and this murder happened at the former site of the famous Meihua Academy.

The county magistrate immediately sent someone to investigate, and soon learned about yesterday's events from the surrounding population, but Lu Hanjiang had already left here, and when the official messenger arrived late, he could only get some vague clues from a few words.

In front of the police officers were the vast world and three unknown persons. Qing Yao's death might become an unsolved case in a short time.
