Cultivating Immortality, Starts with Green Plum

Chapter 446 Something’s not right
"Auntie and Ponda are here?"

Xu Ming felt a little surprised. Xu Ming knew that Xu Pangda would come back today, and he also thought that Xu Pangda might come to see him after he came back, but it was already quite late.

And even if Ponda came to visit me, Auntie probably wouldn't come with him.

This means that they must have something going on.

Xu Ming said to the maid, "Please ask Madam and Pang Da to come in."

"Yes, my lord."

Que'er bowed and left.

Watching the maid's back as she gradually left, Xu Ming knew that this maid must be Emperor Wu's person, sent by Emperor Wu to monitor him. But it didn't matter, he could just monitor her.

However, it must be said that this maid is indeed quite capable. She keeps the entire mansion in order.

After a while, Mrs. Wang and Xu Pangda walked in together.

When Xu Pangda saw Xu Ming, his eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward and said happily: "Fifth brother, you are back."

Xu Ming nodded and looked at Xu Pangda with a smile: "Third brother, long time no see. You seem to have lost some weight in these years."

Xu Ming touched Xu Pangda's shoulder and indeed, compared to before, Xu Pangda seemed to have less fat on his body.

From this we can see that he must have been under a lot of pressure as an official over the years and had to move around frequently.

In fact, Xu Ming was very happy to see Xu Pangda again.

There are not many people that Xu Ming cares about in Wudu, and Xu Pangda is one of them.

However, if it weren't for the people he cared about in Wudu, Xu Ming felt that he would never return to this place.

"Xu Ming, I'm sorry to bother you so late."

Wang Feng, who was standing aside, said.

When he reached the Jinyiwei Command Headquarters, Wang Feng also came out of his anger.

After Wang Feng came to his senses, he understood why the old lady wanted to persuade him.

Although the assassination of court officials was one of the duties of the Jinyiwei.

But Xu Ming hasn't taken over yet after all.

Moreover, the Jinyiwei is in a state of disrepair, and Xu Ming has a lot of things to deal with now.

I should really be bothering other people now instead of looking for Xu Ming.

Xu Ming stood up and bowed to Madam Wang and Xu Pangda: "Madam, you came here so late, has something happened?"

Xu Ming asked.

Normally, even if Xu Pangda missed me, he would come alone, and not have my aunt come with him.

Another thing is that Xu Pangda was covered in mud and even his clothes were torn.

This means something must have happened.

Wang Feng shook her head: "It's okay, Ming'er, I just came to see you."

Xu Ming smiled and said, "Auntie, we are all family. Is there anything that cannot be said among family members? And the way Third Brother is now, something must have happened."

Wang Feng sighed: "When Pang Da returned to Beijing, he was assassinated in the suburbs."

"."

Xu Ming frowned, looking serious.

Not to mention that Xu Pangda is the young master of Xu State Mansion.

Xu Pangda was a top scorer in the imperial examination! He was also an official appointed by the imperial court! Who on earth had the guts to assassinate an official of the Wu Kingdom?
Last time, an official from the State of Wu was sent as an envoy to a sect to investigate some matters, but he ended up being burned to death.

After Emperor Wu found out, he simply razed that sect to the ground!

Everyone knows that officials from the Wu State are not easy to mess with!

"Third brother, tell me the details. Don't worry, I will take care of this matter." Xu Ming said to Xu Pangda, and then comforted the aunt, "Auntie, don't worry, have a sip of tea first."

"Ok."

Wang Feng nodded and sat on the stone bench.

Then Xu Pangda told Xu Ming what had happened, including how a female hero had saved him.

Xu Ming didn't care that Xu Pangda was rescued by the heroine. He could only say that Pangda was really lucky as he didn't die.

"Something's not right."

Xu Ming thought about it and shook his head.

"From your description, Third Brother, if you had offended some people when you were the county magistrate, you should have died on the way, not in the suburbs of the capital.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

If it was because of my political enemies, they would be even less likely to cause trouble for you, Third Brother.

There is no use killing you, third brother. If you die, not only will I take revenge on you, but even His Majesty will be furious.

I really don't know why the other party did this, other than seeking death."

Wang Feng also nodded: "That's true. Could it be that this is just a coincidence, and the other party just happens to be a murderer?"

Xu Ming smiled and said, "It's obvious that the other party is coming for the third brother. There are even people to help him. Such a person is not after money, nor is he a murderer. In fact, the other party just wants to kill the third brother."

Wang Feng: “.”

Xu Ming looked at Xu Pangda and said, "Third brother, I will definitely investigate this matter, but there are too few clues. It is very likely that this matter will be left unresolved. I hope you will forgive me, Third brother."

"That's not right, fifth brother. This matter is hard to investigate. I also know that. Even if we don't find it, it's okay. I'm living well, right?" Xu Pangda smiled heartily.

There must be a feeling of anger in Xu Pangda's heart.

After all, he was being killed, how could he not be angry?

However, on the way here, Xu Pangda also learned that his fifth brother was now the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and was very busy. He really didn't want to cause trouble for his fifth brother.

"Ming'er, just take care of your own things first and don't take this matter to heart." Wang Feng also said to Xu Ming.

Xu Ming nodded and looked at Wang Feng and Xu Pangda: "Aunt and Third Brother haven't had dinner yet, right? I haven't eaten either, how about eating something? It happens that we two brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, so let's have a drink and chat."

Wang Feng smiled and said, "You two brothers are chatting, why am I here? I'm going to go back first. I have to apologize to the old lady. I was a little rude just now."

"Then I'll see you off, Auntie." Xu Ming stood up.

"No need to see me off. It's not like I don't know the way." Wang Feng stood up and said decisively, "Let's go."

Xu Ming watched Wang Feng gradually walk away and couldn't help but smile: "Auntie is still so neat and efficient in doing things. Xue Nuo is very similar to her in this respect."

"Eh?" Xu Pangda asked in surprise, "Fifth brother, have you seen Jon Snow?"

"Yes." Xu Ming nodded.

"How is my sister doing? Is she okay?" It had been more than ten years since Xu Pangda last saw his sister.

"Very good." Xu Ming smiled, "And Jon Snow is very pretty now, but his temper is still as cold as before."

"yawn."

On a tree outside the imperial city, Xu Xuenuo sneezed.
