The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 314
The two chatted a few more gossips, and then they talked about the assassination.

Changsun Ji explained the whole thing to Guo Yu, and then said with a smile: "You came just in time, I am really not sure about this matter, do you think what the black-clothed assassin said is true? of?"

"The assassin was able to endure the pain of cutting his flesh and not expose his master. He is actually a loyal minister. However, later, the son pretended to be an enemy to silence him, which broke the man's state of mind. According to common sense, what this man said should be true. It’s true, and what’s said can stand up to scrutiny.”

"However, since this person can bear the pain of cutting his flesh, he is not an ordinary person. If my lord thinks what the assassin said is suspicious, you only need to try again." Guo Yu said with a smile.

"Oh, sir, do you have any good ideas?"

"My lord only needs to pass the news of the assassin's capture back to the capital, and see who killed him, that means who is his master." Guo Yu said with a light smile.

Changsun Ji frowned and said: "If what this person said is true, he was once a confidant of the three princes. With his status, if I were the prince, I only need to disclose the news of this person's arrest to the third prince and the prince." Seventh prince, if these two are guilty of thieves, they should also send someone to silence them."

"Don't worry, my lord, this is not a difficult task. You only need to scratch the prisoner's face. At that time, you only need to say that he shaves his own face before he was arrested in order not to reveal his identity. Even if someone passes the news to the other two princes.

As long as the two princes know that the prisoner came to assassinate the lord, then with the intelligence of the two princes, they will know that the prisoner has other identities.

So, as long as they didn't order this person to assassinate the young master, they wouldn't take this muddy water rashly.Only the person who actually gave the prisoner an assassination order would feel guilty and send someone to silence him. "

Changsun Ji nodded, and then said with a smile, "That's a good idea, but that assassin has already made up his mind to die, so we probably need to find someone else to impersonate him."

This was just a small episode, and Changsun Ji said it just as a gag, after all, in his capacity, finding someone to replace the assassin could not be easier.

Just as he was talking, Chen Zhi came in from outside, cupped his hands to Changsun Ji and said, "General, the soldiers came to report that the assassin was dead. He hit the pillar with his head and his brain was shattered."

Changsun Ji nodded, not caring, since he left that assassin, he already knew there would be such a result.

Changsun Ji discussed with Guo Yu again, and then arranged for Guo Yu to stay.

Another day later, the imperial physician Feng Wan'er invited from the palace arrived late.Although Changsun Ji's health is already fine, the imperial physician can't be allowed to come here for nothing, at least to make up for it.

Therefore, Changsun Ji also asked the imperial physician to feel the pulse, prescribed a few doses of medicine to replenish the body's vitality, and paid each imperial physician another amount of money.Only then did the imperial physician arrange to rest.

Because the eldest grandson still needed rest and could not withstand the long journey, everyone stayed in this small town for another three days before starting their journey.

On the way, because there were two imperial doctors and Changsun Ji's sick number, Changsun Ji and his party walked for four days in what was supposed to be a one or two day journey.

Beijing.

In the palace, because Emperor Yan had not yet returned from suppressing the rebellion, the prince, as the supervisor of the country, has been living in the palace.

At this time, in a study room in the palace.The prince slowly turned his fat body around.He looked at a man in white under the stage and said, "How is it?"

The man in white bowed his hands to the prince and said: "Prince, I have passed the news to the third prince and the seventh prince through the hidden stake. But now Changsun Ji is about to enter the city, but neither the third prince nor the seventh prince sent anyone shot."

The prince nodded, and said softly: "This is what was expected. If the third child and the seventh child are not fooled, then there is no problem. Follow the plan and be sure to silence them."

"Obey." The man in white in the room bowed his hands and accepted the order.

"Hey, it's a pity that Lao Ji is so loyal to me. These years have played a major role in helping me understand the third and fifth children." The prince sighed and said with some sentimentality.

"It is Lao Ji's blessing to be able to sacrifice his life for the prince." The man in white clasped his hands and said.

"Go and make arrangements." The prince ordered casually.Then, he added to the man in white: "Old Ji is gone, and his family's life may not be very easy. You remember to give them ten taels of silver. Remember to give it once a month in the future."

"Yes, Prince." The man in white nodded in agreement, then turned and left the room.

At the same time, Changsun Ji and his party walked through the city gate and entered the city.

In the carriage, Changsun Ji looked at Feng Wan'er who was sitting beside her, and saw that she was a little thin.Changsun Ji stretched out his hand to touch her cheek with some pity, and said, "Zhaochen, I have really suffered for you during my absence."

Before Changsun Ji was in the capital, Feng Wan'er sent someone to check when Changsun Ji would arrive in the capital.

Although the route was known in advance, but because the time was uncertain, Feng Wan'er had been waiting at the city gate for nearly an hour when Changsun Ji arrived at the city gate just now.

"What my husband said, you and I are one. Dealing with your own affairs is hard work."

"Besides, there isn't much going on in this capital city, and I'm idle all day in the mansion. On the contrary, my husband, I have to march and fight every day, and there are life and death crises everywhere, and I have to travel long distances. Compared with my husband, what am I? Talk about hard work."

Changsun Ji stretched out his hand and gently hugged her in his arms, but he couldn't help but sighed in his heart. He and the royal family must be hostile. He didn't know how Feng Wan'er would deal with the relationship between them when that day came. relation.

"By the way, husband. Have you found out who is trying to harm you?" Feng Wan'er, who was lying in Changsun Ji's arms, suddenly remembered something, and opened her mouth to ask.

"This matter is full of fog, and it is not easy to find out. There is no clue yet. I will continue to investigate this matter, so you don't need to intervene." Changsun Ji patted Feng Waner's face gently. back, said softly.

"Okay." Feng Wan'er nodded in Changsun Ji's arms and agreed.Although I don't know why Changsun Ji didn't let her intervene in this matter, but since Changsun Ji said so, she wouldn't go against Changsun Ji's wishes.
