Chapter 240: Killing people in the name of the prince
The cold-faced man had a very tough mouth, and he never even said his own name.
Not to mention the information about the Thousand Donkeys Chamber of Commerce. The only thing that can be confirmed from the cold-faced man is that he is not the only assassin.
There seemed to be many people in the capital who wanted to kill him, the crown prince.
Seeing that nothing could come out of the interrogation, Xin Ruyan said, "Don't waste time, kill him."
"Wait!" Wu Yuan stopped him.
Xin Ruyan was puzzled, and Yan Fei on the side also couldn't guess what Wu Yuan wanted to do.
Wu Yuan smiled, and then asked the cold-faced man: "Has the Criminal Department been completely infiltrated by your Qianlu Chamber of Commerce?"
The cold-faced man sneered, "No comment."
Unexpectedly, Wu Yuan directly pinched the cold-faced man's pulse, and then said to the cold-faced man: "No matter how you hide your expression, your heartbeat will not lie. When a person lies, the frequency of his heartbeat will change.
, it’s very subtle, but I can feel it.”
"Next, you don't even need to answer any of my questions."
After listening to what Wu Yuan said, not to mention the cold-faced man didn't believe it, even Yan Fei and Xin Ruyan didn't believe that Wu Yuan could do this.
Wu Yuanze had already asked: "You Qianlu Chamber of Commerce want my life very much now, not just to avenge Wang Tianfang, right? And you are worried that as long as I am here, Dayu will not be able to defeat me, Dawu."
The cold-faced man closed his eyes and remained silent.
But Wu Yuan still felt it and said very confidently: "It seems that this is correct."
The cold-faced man's eyelids moved slightly, but it was not obvious.
Then Wu Yuan continued to ask: "The Criminal Department has been completely bought by your Qianlu Chamber of Commerce, right?"
"If my guess is correct and the assassination fails, the next step is that the Criminal Department will find me in trouble, and maybe they will add an unfounded charge to me."
Xin Ruyan on the side looked heavy when she heard this speculation.
If it is true, although it may not cause substantial harm to Wu Yuan, it will also bring a lot of trouble to Wu Yuan if it is impossible to prevent it.
At this time, Wu Yuan said again: "Your skills should be the main force in this assassination operation. If you die, there are some ministers in the Ministry of Punishment who have also been bribed by you, and they will use their strength to kill me, right?
"
Although the cold-faced man still had his eyes closed, his heart was already filled with turmoil.
How is this possible?
You can even guess their subsequent plans accurately? How could there be such evil people in this world?
Suddenly, Wu Yuan changed the topic and said lightly: "Okay, I don't have anything else to ask. I'll give you the last chance to leave your last words. You can speak now."
The cold-faced man didn't want to say a word now. Although he didn't want to admit it, he already felt that Wu Yuan didn't lie before.
All guesses must have been confirmed from his pulse.
This made the cold-faced man very unwilling. If this happened, the next plan of the Qianlu Merchant Association would also come to nothing.
"You..." The cold-faced man still wanted to say something in the end.
However, as soon as he uttered a word, he was interrupted by Wu Yuan, "Okay, your chance has been used up."
The muzzle of the gun was directly pressed between the eyebrows of the cold-faced man.
The cold-faced man finally only had time to utter one word, "Fuck!"
He was killed on the spot.
Xin Ruyan was startled when she heard the gunshot for the first time.
Yan Fei understood Xin Ruyan's feelings very well. Even though it was the third time she heard it, she could still feel the shock that hit her soul.
After the shock, Xin Ruyan asked with concern: "What was the verification result you just asked?"
Wu Yuan did not hide anything, "Everything I guessed was right."
When Yan Fei heard this, she couldn't help but said: "Then what are you waiting for? Tell His Majesty the news as soon as possible."
The people in the Criminal Department have been bribed by the Qianlu Merchant Guild, which is no child's play.
Xin Ruyan did not object, but said worriedly: "It's a pity that we don't have enough evidence. Even if we say it, His Majesty may not believe it."
Wu Yuan shrugged, "Then just don't say it."
"If we don't say anything, we will be very passive once the Ministry of Punishment launches an attack. Now if we say it, at least Emperor Wu will not completely believe what they say." Xin Ruyan explained.
But Wu Yuan still insisted, "This is just right. Since there are so many people who don't want to see me, just let them do it."
"I also want to take this opportunity to see how many tricks they have." Wu Yuan said very confidently.
"No, this is too risky." Xin Ruyan still objected, with worry on his face.
Yan Fei, on the other hand, couldn't say anything. In fact, she was very confused in her heart.
On the one hand, I feel that what Xin Ruyan said is right, on the other hand, I have blind confidence in Wu Yuan.
In the end, Yan Fei simply lay down. She couldn't influence the two people's decisions anyway, so why bother worrying about it.
As a result, Wu Yuan compromised at the cost of Xin Ruyan's body.
This result made Yan Fei despise her for a while, and she seriously suspected that she was too stupid. This was probably Wu Yuan's real purpose, which was to let the princess sleep with him.
"Ruyan, I'll give this to you. Take it with you. I'll teach you how to use it tonight."
Wu Yuan simply put the small pistol into Xin Ruyan's hands.
Yan Fei looked envious and admired Wu Yuan for being so willing.
Xin Ruyan was naturally moved, but she still returned the things to Wu Yuan. The reason was simple, "You need it more than I do."
After some evasion, Wu Yuan promised to borrow it temporarily for two days, and then return the first small pistol to Xin Ruyan when he got it.
During this period, Yan Fei repeatedly wanted to tell Xin Ruyan, who was deeply moved, that in fact, the first Heavenly King Spear had already been given away by the prince to pick up girls.
Fortunately, Yan Fei did not say anything after Wu Yuan warned her many times.
In the next three days, Wu Yuan asked Xin Ruyan to open a secret base in the East Palace. On the surface, it was just a kitchen, but behind the kitchen was a huge forging ground.
Although it was a bit troublesome and risky, Xin Ruyan also felt that there was nothing wrong with Wu Yuan's decision.
The entire capital city was under the surveillance of Emperor Wu, and on the contrary, it became the best hiding place right under his nose.
On the fifth day, Lao Tie and his daughter were also quietly brought into the East Palace, and officially moved into the East Palace and became one of them.
But it was also on this day that Wu Yuan was impeached by several ministers headed by the Minister of Punishment.
The reason is that many murder cases in the capital are related to the Tianxia Family. It is said that the Tianxia Family threatens some merchants and kills those who do not join.
Among them, he is even using the banner of the prince.
Regardless of whether this matter is true or false, it has already caused a stir.
Emperor Wu directly declared Wu Yuan Jin's presence in the court, and judging from this posture, he planned to punish him severely.
In the East Palace, Wu Yuan was ready to go after receiving the order.
Xin Ruyan sighed, "It seems that what I said before is useless. I'm afraid you will be unlucky this time."
