The man in black who escaped still suffered some injuries. He didn't expect to assassinate a woman and get his brother in. Now I'm afraid it's hard to get him out. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.
When you go to see your employer tomorrow, be sure to ask him to include the money for his brother's life.
Early the next morning, the news about the assassin appearing in Prince Heng's mansion last night spread in the palace. Yinqi was going to the palace early in the morning to attend the court meeting. Fortunately, no one in the court knew about it yet, and no one discussed it at the court meeting.
thing.
Yuxia was so frightened that she couldn't understand and kept having nightmares. Wanyue specially asked a doctor to give her acupuncture, and Yuxia's condition was relieved.
But when Yuxia really woke up, the people who were looking after her in the house were startled because Yuxia woke up in panic.
She kept shouting, "Come quickly, there are assassins here! Gua Ge Ge"
The maid who was taking care of her listened to her words, carefully wiped the sweat on her forehead with a wet towel, and asked: "Sister Yuxia, are you feeling better? The assassin has been captured by the guards in the palace.
, you don’t have to worry anymore.”
Yuxia glanced at the maid in front of her with a pale face. She had never seen her before, but she still nodded towards her. Thinking of the blood last night, she asked the maid with some fear: "How is she, Gua Gege?"
?”
When the maid heard her mention Gua Gege, she couldn't help but tremble and replied in a panic: "I heard from the sisters in the house that Gua Gege was stabbed to death from behind by the two assassins last night."
When Yuxia heard this, her heart was filled with fear and worry, and then she started sobbing.
The maid who took care of her didn't know how to comfort her for a while, so she could only look up at her with some worry, and from time to time passed her the towel to wipe her.
After a while, the maid seemed to have thought of something and said to Yuxia: "Sister Yuxia, don't be too sad. The prince and Fujin ordered the guards to interrogate the assassin severely. They should find out who wanted to murder Gua Gege."
of."
After hearing this, Yuxia, who was still sobbing, felt a glimmer of hope in her heart.
After Yinqi dismissed the court meeting, he hurried out of the palace to go to the palace. The fourth prince walked beside him, turned to look at Yinqi meaningfully, and asked involuntarily: "Fifth brother, what are you doing?"
In a hurry."
Yinqi actually told the fourth prince what happened last night truthfully. The fourth prince was shocked and couldn't help but said again: "Why would an assassin come to your house to assassinate you?"
Yinqi said with emotion: "Yeah, I can't figure it out either, so I'm rushing back now to interrogate the truth of the matter from the captured man in black."
"Fifth Brother, this has made me a little curious. Why don't Fourth Brother go back with you and take a look? I haven't seen anything about a man in black assassin in a long time." The Fourth Prince couldn't help but suggest.
Upon hearing this, Yinqi agreed immediately without thinking too much.
After the two arrived at Prince Heng's Mansion, the guards brought over the assassin caught last night.
When the Fourth Prince saw the man, he was the first to speak: "Is this the assassin you caught?"
When the assassin heard this familiar voice, he immediately looked up at the Fourth Prince with wide eyes. When he and his eldest brother went to the teahouse to meet the employer the day before yesterday, the employer had his back turned to them, but the voice was definitely unmistakable.
The employer must be the Fourth Prince.
He wanted to tell this, but the cloth was still gagged in his mouth, so they could only hear his final whine.
The guard behind him saw that he was being suppressed and still trying to twist his body to escape, so he kicked him in the leg, causing the man in black to kneel on the ground.
"Fourth brother is right. This is one of the assassins caught by the guards in the house last night. They just let the other one escape." Yinqi glanced at the man in black kneeling on the ground, and then he was not in a hurry.
He replied slowly.
"That's easy to handle. As long as fifth brother interrogates him strictly, you won't be afraid that he won't tell the truth. As for the one who escaped, fifth brother, if you put up a notice, you won't be afraid that he won't fall into the trap." Fourth elder brother raised his eyes and looked at Yin.
Qi put forward his idea, and then his eyes met the assassin's.
Yinqi had his own ideas about this matter, but he could not refute the fourth prince's kindness to him. He just responded with a serious face: "Thank you, fourth brother, for the suggestion."
After Yinqi finished speaking, the fourth prince glanced at the assassin again and said sternly: "You dare to come to Prince Heng's palace to assassinate you. You and your accomplices are really brave. You'd better tell the fifth prince
Tell me honestly, otherwise your comrades will end up in the same fate."
The assassin continued to look at the Fourth Prince with hatred in his eyes. Yinqi didn't see any difference in his eyes. He raised his hands to the guards and said, "Take him to the study."
After finishing speaking, Yinqi turned to look at the fourth prince, raised his hand and invited: "Fourth brother, let's go to the study together."
Unexpectedly, the fourth prince waved his hand and refused: "Fifth brother, I have also seen the assassin. He seems to be just an ordinary person. I have something to do in my house, so I will go back first."
After saying that, without waiting for Yinqi to reply to him, the fourth prince raised his legs and left. Yinqi looked at his back curiously and muttered: "Didn't you say you were curious and wanted to come and have a look, but you left before the trial started?"
.”
Yinqi went to the study alone. The guards were already waiting at the door of the study, and the assassin was kneeling on the floor of the study, covered in sweat.
Yinqi sat down and took a sip of tea, slowly put down the cup of tea in Zhouzhong, glanced at the assassin kneeling on the ground, and said sternly: "Tell me, who sent you to Prince Heng's Mansion to assassinate?"
At this moment, the man thought of what the fourth prince said just now. If he told the truth, his brother might die.
He couldn't help but think about it quickly in his mind, and simply called himself a gangster. Anyway, if he was caught by them now, he would definitely not survive.
He immediately kowtowed, "The common man is just a gangster. He wanted to enter the house and steal some things. Unexpectedly, we encountered someone desperate to stop us, so we had no choice but to kill."
The man kept talking, but he only admitted that he and his accomplices were just gangsters, and did not know that this was Prince Heng's palace. They just thought that the courtyard was big and might have some money, so they wanted to enter the palace and steal some money. As a result,
The money was not stolen, but he was caught.
Yinqi heard what he said didn't seem to be false, and it seemed that he couldn't find anything suspicious about it, but they did kill Guarjia's life.
Yinqi sighed and ordered the guard at the door: "Hand this person over to the Criminal Department and let the people from the Criminal Department handle it."
The guard at the door immediately came in and escorted the man out.
At this moment, in the study room of Prince Lian's Mansion, a man with an injured arm looked around at the layout of the study room. At this time, he was really curious, but he did not expect that the person in the teahouse that day was Prince Lian.
What's even more confusing is that when he went to the teahouse today, people from Prince Lian's palace actually invited him to the palace. Aren't the fourth princes afraid that he would tell this matter?
He was deep in thought when a sound of footsteps came from behind. He quickly turned around and knelt down to salute the visitor, "Common people, please give your regards to the Fourth Prince. Good luck to the Fourth Prince!"
The fourth prince walked straight into the study without looking at him.
After a long while, he sat on the main seat and said in a deep voice: "Get up."
After the man stood up, he actually smiled, thinking that the fourth prince would immediately reward him with silver. However, the fourth prince sat on the main seat and looked at him impatiently. After a long while, he continued to say in a deep voice: "Here you go."
You actually failed in my errand!"
The man immediately frowned and argued: "How could the Fourth Prince do this? We stabbed the woman to death ourselves according to your instructions!"
What the two of them didn't know was that outside the corner of the study room, Si Fujin was about to come over to discuss important matters with the Fourth Prince. However, he saw the housekeeper at the door of the study with his head lowered and some money in his hand. Si Fujin was curious for a moment and lay down.
I listened to the noise in the house by the window.
The fourth prince in the room couldn't help but sneered, "Hahaha, you have the nerve to say it, but did you know that you killed the wrong person, and one of you was arrested. If you fail to protect both of them, the person who is arrested will tell the whole story."
The man would look at the fourth prince in disbelief, "It's impossible, how could he kill the wrong person! My brother wouldn't say nonsense."
The man said this with some uncertainty. They stabbed the woman from her back when they stabbed her, but they didn't see her face clearly. As for whether his brother could withstand the torture, he didn't know.
The fourth prince did not want to listen to his explanation. He waved to the person at the door, and the butler brought the silver reward on a plate.
When the man saw it, his eyes shone, and he rubbed his hands uncomfortably. Then he saw the fourth prince turning his head to drink tea, and he complimented: "The fourth prince is so honest that he gave you double the money. Thank you very much."
The Fourth Prince."
After hearing this, the fourth prince put down the tea cup, raised his head and smiled evilly at him, "Then take the silver and leave quickly, or someone from Prince Heng's palace will catch you."
The man took the money, stuffed it all into his clothes, thanked the Fourth Prince, and left the house.
He had just exited the house when a man jumped from the rafters. The fourth prince glanced at him and ordered him: "Follow him and get rid of him."
After hearing this, Si Fujin's face changed outside the house and he couldn't help but quietly retreated.
Wanyue and Yinqi from Prince Heng's Mansion were both very uneasy because of the assassins. Qian Gege also knew about the assassins in the mansion, but she didn't think much about it.
