Chapter 31: Speculation

"What's wrong?" Chen Mu saw the expression on Liu Susu's face and was a little puzzled.

"Husband, there is a word on all of these things."

Chen Mu just took these things back, and he didn't look at them carefully.

As soon as he heard Liu Susu say this, Chen Mu also picked up a flying knife and looked at it carefully.

Sure enough, at the root of the blade of this flying knife, the word "plum" was cast.

Looking at several other weapons, they all have this word in different places.

It's weird.

Chen Mu picked up the long knife again.

The blade is sharp and the blade is hard.

What's more, there are countless fine lines on the blade.

Chen Mu recognized this pattern.

This is the mark left by the metal after it has been folded and forged thousands of times.

In this country of Xia, where technology is very backward, there are only a handful of people who have this kind of forging skill.

This knife is not an exaggeration to call it a peerless divine weapon.

How could a woman have such a good knife?

If you look at the other blades, the quality is also quite good.

After Chen Mu pondered for a moment, he called his guards again.

"Send someone to the prison to keep an eye on the Assassin, and make sure that no one comes near her; Whoever comes to visit him shall be detained. ”

"She is not allowed to touch outsiders and outside food, and those who violate the order will be beheaded."

The guard, though suspicious, respectfully complied with the order.

Liu Susu was also puzzled by Chen Mu's move.

"Husband, that assassin wants to kill you, why do you still protect her?"

Chen Mu smiled.

"First, she is not enmity with me, but I am afraid that she is entrusted by others. If she's dead, we can't ask. Only if she is alive will we have a chance to know who is behind it. ”

"Second, this assassin's background is not simple. These weapons alone are not something that ordinary people can have, and why such a person has become a killer and still carry out such a dangerous mission, I am sure that there will be something hidden in the future. ”

"Third, this assassin is not evil in nature. You and I were both unarmed just now, and she could have killed you first and prevented you from going out to call the guards, but she didn't do that. ”

"So, no matter what happens in the future, for now, this assassin must live."

With Chen Mu's analysis, Liu Susu nodded frequently.

"Husband, you still think about it."

At the end, Liu Susu praised from the bottom of his heart.

Soon, his subordinates came to report to Chen Mu, and the people who guarded the prison had already been arranged, day and night.

Not long after, Li Biao also came back with news from the palace.

The imperial doctor said that it is not impossible to test the medicine, but it is necessary to wait for a while.

And Chen Xingtian was naturally furious, if it weren't for Li Biao's efforts to dissuade him, he was afraid that Chen Xingtian would have ordered the assassin to be killed at that time.

Until the next morning, it could still be seen that Chen Xingtian's anger had not subsided.

Joke! The crown prince he trusted the most was assassinated and almost died.

What is this place? This is the capital! At the feet of the Son of Heaven!

That assassin can infiltrate the Prince's Mansion today, and someone may sneak into the palace tomorrow!

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were also able to observe words and feelings, and when they saw that the emperor was in a bad mood, they lowered their heads one by one, remained silent and did not speak, but exchanged puzzled glances with each other.

Chen Mu also stood in the ranks of officials, observing these officials with cold eyes.

If you look at it so roughly, you can't find any flaws.

However, after much analysis, Chen Mu expected that the main envoy behind the assassin must be above the court.

Wait, I, Chen Mu, will catch you out of the troubled waters sooner or later.

Chen Xingtian sat on the dragon chair and was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen, last night, a major event happened in the capital."

"My beloved son, Chen Mu, the crown prince of the dynasty, encountered an assassin in his prince's mansion and almost lost his life!"

Chen Xingtian's tone was very calm, but everyone could hear the monstrous anger behind it.

After saying a few words, it was like throwing a stone into the otherwise calm lake.

The originally quiet hall suddenly exploded.

Everyone looked extremely frightened and worried.

There are also many people close to Chen Mu who are anxiously concerned about his physical condition.

Chen Mu sent them away perfunctorily one by one.

Of course, he knew that there were few of these people who really cared about him.

Most of them are just acting on the spot, just to let the emperor have a good impression of them.

When everyone's discussion had almost subsided, Chen Xingtian spoke again.

"That assassin was captured by the guards of the Prince's Mansion last night and is now in prison."

The crowd burst into cheers again.

Some advocated the immediate killing of the Assassins, while others advocated strict interrogation...... All the noises were mixed together, and Chen Mutou was going to be loud when he heard it.

Chen Xingtian raised a hand and motioned for the ministers to be quiet.

"Prime Minister Liu, what do you think?"

After a series of recent events, Prime Minister Yoo Cheng's status among the ministers of the DPRK and China has risen sharply.

Chen Xingtian also paid more and more attention to him, and he intended to discuss everything with him.

Prime Minister Liu walked out of the ranks of officials and said without humility or arrogance.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this case is very important, and the assassin is probably not alone."

"The minister advocates strict interrogation of the assassins, asking the mastermind behind the scenes, and returning justice to His Royal Highness the Prince."

Chen Xingtian looked at Chen Mu.

Chen Mu nodded slightly.

This Prime Minister Liu Cheng is indeed very capable, and his ideas are not similar to his own.

Oh, yes! How could such a big thing as assassinating the prince be the idea of the assassin alone!

After receiving Chen Mu's affirmative expression, Chen Xingtian spoke.

"Good! Then according to Prime Minister Liu Cheng's words, the assassin will be strictly interrogated. ”

"But I don't know which Aiqing intended to interrogate the assassin?"

As soon as these words were asked, the hall that was noisy just now suddenly fell silent.

The ministers looked at each other, and then they all bowed their heads.

This kind of task, it's better not to be a bird.

An outlaw who even the crown prince dares to assassinate, who knows how many crazy things he can do.

In case I don't find any results by then, there will be some other problems.

That's not worth it.

No one spoke in the hall for a long time, and seeing that Chen Xingtian seemed to have a tendency to get angry again, Prime Minister Liu hurriedly spoke.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are willing to go."

However, as soon as Prime Minister Liu Cheng's words fell, another official stood up next to him.

"I don't think it's right.

What stood out was a middle-aged man, emaciated.

Chen Mu recognized him, and his heart moved slightly.

Lord Meng, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, was one of Lord Zhang's former right-hand men.

"Master Meng, why is it wrong?"

Prime Minister Liu turned around and asked gently.

"Prime Minister Liu Cheng is very old, how can he come to such a filthy place as the Heavenly Prison in person?"
