“Silence in the Main Hall!” Lu Xun clapped the gavel and asked in a deep voice, “Do you know where Zhang Wang is now?”
The woman frowned and shook her head: “I don’t know. He left after dinner.”
“Do you know what he went out for?”
“At first I didn’t know, but later…” The woman thought for a moment, “It seems someone sent a message saying that Zhang Wang was in Room 1 of Tea Delight Inn, fooling around with a married woman… So, I hurriedly took people there.”
Li Jixian felt a stir in his heart upon hearing this.
Lu Xun also seemed to realize something and turned to ask the woman’s in-laws: “How did you know that Madam Wang was at Tea Delight Inn?”
The man replied: “Someone also sent us a message.”
The man and the woman exchanged a glance and both realized that something was wrong.
Lu Xun asked further: “Who was the messenger?”
Surprisingly, neither side could answer.
The one who reported was just an ordinary person. Some told the servants and others told the ones who went out shopping. Such matters were bound to spread.
It was normal for the news to reach the Master’s ears.
Lu Xun had the servants of both families questioned, but no one could tell who the messenger was.
They didn’t know and it was difficult to remember the messenger’s appearance.
This was too strange.
Everyone felt a chill down their spine.
It seemed that an invisible hand was controlling everything.
Who on earth was the other party, and how did they know about the private relationship between the two families and use it to their advantage?
Not only was Lu Xun puzzled, but even Li Jixian began to doubt.
Previously, he firmly believed that Jiang Ning was behind all this mischief.
But could a woman like Jiang Ning really pull off such a thing?
Li Jixian didn’t believe that she had such deep scheming and intelligence.
It must be one of his competitors doing this.
Who could it be?
Li Jixian carefully recalled his past opponents and enemies.
Was it the Prince of Yu?
He wasn’t in Chang’an City, so it wasn’t possible.
Could it be the Prince of Wei?
Could that fool do it?
Unless he had been pretending all these years.
If a person could pretend to that extent, Li Jixian thought, he wouldn’t feel too bad about being deceived this time.
He had to find out if it was the Prince of Wei and if he had been pretending all the time.
If that was the case, it would be too terrifying.
He had always regarded the Prince of Yu as his biggest rival, but maybe that was a grave mistake.
While Li Jixian’s mind wandered, Lu Xun was also scratching his head.
How could they proceed?
Finally, Attendant No. 2 reminded him: “Shouldn’t we summon Zhang Wang here to question him?”
“Oh, right. Bring Zhang Wang here!”
Several officers were dispatched to find Zhang Wang.
And they did.
Zhang Wang had been knocked unconscious and was dumped in an alley not far from Tea Delight Inn.
He looked confused, following the officers in, and seeing a roomful of people, not only his wife but also the woman he had a fling with, he couldn’t help but be baffled.
Madam Wang, seeing her husband’s pathetic appearance, was furious but dared not fight on the public court, so she stared at him viciously with her eyes.
Zhang Wang held an official position, so he did not have to kneel and could speak standing.
Lu Xun asked: “Are you Zhang Wang?”
“I am Zhang Wang, sir,” he replied.
“Do you recognize the woman kneeling there?” Lu Xun pointed to the woman.
The woman lowered her head.
Zhang Wang felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.
He knew that the matter couldn’t be concealed any longer..
