Capítulo 2148: Chapter 2148: The Escalating Turmoil
Late at night, at the Fourth Prince’s Mansion.
Floating lody Pavilion.
“Master, what on earth is going on? Why did you take the steward’s corpse to the Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas and hide it inside a Buddha statue? Do you know that it’s been discovered and even alard the Emperor?” The Fourth Prince was sowhat flustered and exasperated. He had rely asked his master to bury a corpse, so why did it end up in a temple? It was truly perplexing.
Lin Kong was a bit displeased. That night, the Fourth Prince killed the steward who had sneaked back to steal valuables. Due to an urgent matter, he had to leave, so he asked him to bury the corpse. Just as he was carrying the body out, he unexpectedly encountered a weirdo after leaving the city, and they got into a fight. Since he was carrying a corpse, it was inconvenient, and during the fight, he ended up fleeing.
The weirdo persistently chased after him. Passing by the Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas, he hid inside, and coincidentally saw that the Buddha statue could fit a person, so he placed the steward’s corpse inside. He never expected it to be discovered, as he had thought he had hidden it well.
With a dark expression, Lin Kong said, “Disciple, what do you an by this? Are you questioning your master?”
With his master’s expression showing displeasure, the Fourth Prince ca back to his senses. He still relied on his master for martial arts training and couldn’t afford to offend him, so he quickly said, “Master, please don’t be angry. Your disciple was just anxious. This incident has alard my imperial father, and I’m afraid that things will be exposed. That’s why my tone was a bit harsh. Master, please forgive your disciple this once. I won’t dare to do it again in the future.”
Lin Kong said icily, “Fourth Prince, rember, I am your master, not your servant, nor soone who should do your bidding. If you speak to in such a tone again, I will cripple you and render all your previous efforts in vain.”
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince was startled. Lin Kong was very capable, even Celestial Master Zhang was his disciple. If he had the skill to teach him, he certainly had the ability to cripple him. Lin Kong was his hope, so, at this point, the Fourth Prince dared not say anything further.
After a while, the Fourth Prince couldn’t help but ask again, “Master, what should we do now?”
Lin Kong: “What do you an, do what?”
Fourth Prince: “The steward’s affair.”
Lin Kong: “Isn’t there no evidence? Why are you anxious?”

Fourth Prince: “Now even I am not sure whether they have evidence or not.”
Lin Kong: “Oh! What do you an by that?”
Fourth Prince: “The governnt officials from the yan said that the county magistrate found evidence on the steward.”
Lin Kong: “What evidence?”
The Fourth Prince shook his head, saying, “Your disciple is not sure either. They say it’s an important item from the murderous demon.”
Lin Kong gave him a cold glance and said, “Aren’t you the murderous demon? Don’t you know what you might have lost on you?”
The Fourth Prince wracked his brain for a mont and felt puzzled. He didn’t feel he had lost anything, but the officials spoke so convincingly that he had no choice but to believe them.
Fourth Prince: “Your disciple has not lost anything.”
Lin Kong said with a hint of exasperation, “They’re trying to deceive you, and you still believe it. Those who wish to achieve great things must remain calm.”
The Fourth Prince remained sowhat concerned and said, “But they speak so convincingly.”
Lin Kong: “If you’re worried, just go and kill the county magistrate. That would solve everything.”
The Fourth Prince shook his head vigorously, saying, “No, no, killing an Imperial Appointed Official would only make the situation more chaotic, wouldn’t it?”
Lin Kong glanced disdainfully at the Fourth Prince: “Isn’t the Empress Dowager being frightened into illness more serious than killing an Imperial Appointed Official? Are you afraid of a re seventh rank low ranking official?”
