"You have no intention of killing him?" Yu Wenhao didn't believe it at all. "He saw you. If you didn't kill him, wouldn't you have exposed yourself?"
Prince Bao said calmly: "Did you really see it? It was dark at the time. He may have keen observation skills, but as long as I deny it, who will believe him? I suddenly shot him at that time just to snatch his horse and escape.
If you go, you won't kill anyone. In this whole arrangement, if you can avoid killing people, I will never kill anyone."
"That's a very pitiful thing to say. Where is the girl on the flower boat? Didn't you kill her ruthlessly? You set up this series of traps and almost made the seventh child fall into it. How sinister are your intentions?"
Prince Bao's face was silent, and he said quietly: "Yes, I killed those two masters and servants. As for framing Lao Qi, I didn't have any sinister intentions. I know he will be fine, but the situation will be chaotic at that time."
The more chaotic it is, the more people it can involve, the safer I will be."
"What about the iron sign? You deliberately left the iron sign to tie your father's hands and feet. Is it also to make the situation more chaotic?"
Prince Bao sighed, "I already had that iron plate in my hand. I was thinking that if something was revealed, this iron plate could save my family, so I wouldn't use it easily. However, I know that you tracked me down that night.
As for the escape route, I know that I have been on the flower boat. Although I have killed the master and servant who have seen my face, I have no choice but to do it."
Yu Wenhao said coldly: "It's a pity that you don't know that it was Chun Niang who received you that day, but her maid did not come due to illness, and Liu'er's maid took her place. Therefore, even if you kill Chun Niang's master and servant
, but Liu'er's maid is the one who really saw you, and she even picked up the iron sign you left behind."
Prince Bao looked at him and smiled lightly, "Do you really think that's the case?"
Yu Wenhao also looked at him, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, "No, Chun Niang's master and servant have indeed seen you with their own eyes. As for Liu'er's maid, you bribed her."
Prince Bao showed a hint of admiration, "The prince is indeed smart. Yes, the people who entertained me on the flower boat that night were indeed Chun Niang's master and servant. If I admit my mistake with these two people, they are really not qualified to do anything big. I will lead
It was inconvenient to dive and escape with the military map, so I gave them money and asked them to help me bring the military map ashore and take it back to their homes. I promised them a lot of money. The Qinlou girl made a lot of money, so she naturally agreed. The next day after I escaped,
So he went to retrieve the military map and silenced the two of them. Later, when he found out that Lao Qi had found Hua Ting, he bribed Liu'er's maid and left an iron sign saying that someone would come looking for something, so just give it to him.
He is."
"So, you left the iron sign after the fact? Why? A warning? Or a provocation? Or a threat? Or, as you said, to muddy the water even more?"
"All," Prince Bao did not deny. "The more people you suspected at that time, the more you had to disperse your manpower to investigate. This would free up time for me to transfer the military map and secretly cast it in Western Zhejiang. Because, in such a situation
Among the people who are close to the emperor, I am the least worthy of suspicion. You may not send someone to monitor me, but I still misjudged the prince's caution. Even if he is as idle as I am, you still keep an eye on me."
Yu Wenhao had to admire his thoughtfulness, "So, you put the fake military map in Yu Wenjun's study just to delay time?"
"Two reasons. First, if you search for the military map from Prince Ji's Mansion, he will become the first subject of suspicion, which will naturally divert a large part of my attention. Second, after the military map is obtained,
I didn't understand it. I wasn't too worried at the time, because Dazhou would definitely send someone to tell me, so I kept waiting for this person to appear and kidnapped them. I learned from them that something happened to Dazhou
, In other words, the military map in my hand is the only one in the world. The irony is that this person does not know how to interpret the military map. In other words, my efforts to kidnap him were in vain and did not get any real help.
I still can’t understand the map.”
"So, you also have to look at the matter of Prince Ji's Mansion to see who can interpret the military map."
Prince Bao sighed, "This is also a helpless move. Many things were planned in a hurry, and it is understandable that they cannot go as expected."
Yu Wenhao nodded and stared at him, "Last question, who told you that the study in Prince Ji's Mansion was about to be stolen? How did you sneak in and place the military map in the secret room? Who is the person you contacted?
