Chapter 7: I'd rather die for my whole family than let His Highness be harmed

The inn next door to the drunken fairy building.

"Poisoned!? The Seven Princes died in the Drunken Immortal Tower, and we all have to be buried together. ”

"Humph! You can not do it, but your parents, wives and children, relatives and friends, will have to suffer on your behalf. ”

"I ......."

"What am I, don't forget the oath you made when you entered the organization, since you have enjoyed the benefits of the organization, you must pay for the organization."

The man in brocade opened his mouth, not knowing how to refute the man in black for a while.

poisoning the food of the Seven Princes, no matter whether it succeeds or not, as long as the matter is revealed, the entire Drunken Immortal Building will be buried with him.

He really didn't want to watch the property he had worked hard for become a victim in the battle, and dragged the people on the first floor to accompany him to the funeral.

Do you want to do it.......

The man in brocade remembered the first time he met the organization, when he was still an ordinary junior, and after ten years and the help of the organization, he has now become a big man in the Drunken Immortal Building.

Of course, there were his efforts, but he understood that without organization, he was nothing.

He never doubted the ability of the organization.

If he listens to the organization, at most he will die, and if he disobeys the organization, his whole family will be buried together.

Thinking of the old man who praised him for his prowess, his tender wife, and his infant daughter, he clenched his fists and roared.

"It's done!"

"No poison, no husband!"

Taking the medicine bag in the hand of the man in black, the man in brocade left quickly and went straight to the Drunken Immortal Tower.

Watching the man in brocade leave, the man in black beckoned, and a thin man in a night suit appeared behind him.

"Little Wu, get rid of his family."

"Yes...."

The thin man nodded yes and hurried towards the brocade-clothed man's house.

........

Drunken Immortal Building.

Chen Li was drinking happily.

Suddenly, a richly dressed man with a sad face walked up quickly, knelt down in front of him, and cried, "Help, Your Highness. ”

"Huh!?"

Chen Li was a little confused, who was this person, knelt in front of him as soon as he came, crying and begging for help.

Does he look like a bodhisattva?

But this man was not badly dressed, silk and deerskin boots, and he didn't want to be a beggar, so he wouldn't ask him for money to save his life.

Without waiting for Chen Li to react, the man introduced himself: "I am the shopkeeper of the Drunken Immortal Building, and this time I risked my life to report the news for the safety of His Highness." ”

“?”

"Ten days ago, an organization approached me and asked me to assassinate His Highness and poison His Highness's food."

"Poisoning !!"

Chen Li's eyes shrank, he was too familiar with this.

The last time the servant was poisoned, he had already poisoned the original body, and he hadn't found out the murderer behind the scenes, but this time he came again, and he wouldn't give up if he wasn't poisoned.

Thinking about it, Chen Li's heart instantly tightened, maybe the person who was going to assassinate him was now staring at him from a corner, waiting for him to relax his vigilance, and turn into a poisonous snake to bite him to death.

"Let's go, go back."

Chen Li did not hesitate and went back to the palace directly.

Regardless of whether things are true or not, there is always no harm in Xianrun.

This time, he was too careless, and only a few days after he was assassinated, he ran out to watch the excitement again.

mistakenly thought that it would be foolproof to hide it and dress up in disguise, but in fact, he didn't know that a poisonous snake was already staring at him in secret.

"Humph!"

Watching Chen Li leave, the man in black sitting in the restaurant next door snorted coldly.

The lion fights the rabbit, and it also takes all its strength.

He still underestimated the man in brocade too much, thinking that he had been a dog under his hands for more than ten years, so he didn't dare to resist, didn't dare to have other ideas, and mistakenly thought that he had won the battle.

"Careless!" The man in black smashed the glass, left the restaurant, and disappeared into the sea of people.

.......

Chen Li returned to the palace non-stop and made the entire palace under martial law.

He called the shopkeeper of the Drunken Immortal Building and asked, "You said that someone was going to assassinate me, what is the matter, tell me the truth." ”

"Your Highness." The shopkeeper knelt on the ground and explained: "On the night of ten days ago, a group of men in black found the villain and asked the villain to poison the food of the princes.

If the villain does not comply, he will kill the villain's entire family. ”

The villain had no choice but to promise to come down......."

"Wait!" Chen Li frowned and said suspiciously, "You said ten days ago?" How will those people know the trajectory of my movements, how do you want me to trust you. ”

Chen Li went out on a whim, and it was impossible for anyone to know in advance, so it was possible that there were still people who could predict the future among those who wanted to kill him.

"Your Highness has misunderstood." The shopkeeper said respectfully: "The poisoning is against all the princes, not against you alone." ”

"For all the princes?"

"Your Highness doesn't know that Drunken Immortal Tower provides desserts and snacks to more than ten princes, and the man in black is targeting these princes." The shopkeeper explained: "Usually I am false and shirking the past, and I don't poison the prince's food. ”

"Until today, the man in black saw His Highness eating in the building and forced the villain to poison him, and the villain had no choice but to risk his life to inform His Highness."

"Why don't you report to the official?" Chen Li said calmly.

"I don't dare to report it." The shopkeeper said with a wry smile: "If you talk about this, let's not say whether the official family will believe it, and you don't have to do the business of Drunken Immortal Mansion first."

What's more, the lives of my family are still in the hands of gangsters, and I don't dare to resist at all. ”

"Then why did you come out and say it again today?"

"Because there's really no way around it." The shopkeeper said sadly: "Although there are still old mothers, delicate wives, and babies in swaddling clothes.

But it is impossible to let the villain poison His Highness, even if the family dies, I can't do anything to be sorry for His Highness.

I estimate that the old mother in the family may have died tragically at the hands of the gangsters.

Poor my mother, who followed me for two good days. ”

Chen Li frowned.

According to the shopkeeper, he was kidnapped by gangsters and threatened the lives of his entire family to poison the food provided by the prince.

And because he is more conscientious and loyal to the court, and poisoning the prince is still a capital crime of raiding the family, so he has been dragging it out.

Until today, when Chen Li was eating in the Drunken Immortal Building, and the gangsters forced him to poison him, he really had no choice, so he came to Chen Li to confess everything.

The logic of things can barely be consistent, but Chen Li always feels that something is wrong, but he can't tell what is wrong.

"Forget it, I don't want to." Chen Li shook his head, things were too complicated.

He looked at the trembling shopkeeper below and decided to give the person to the emperor's father.

Someone wants to kill his son, and he wants to kill so many at once, it is not an ordinary assassination that can be clearly explained.

It's too complicated.

It was too difficult for him to ask Chen Li to interrogate the prisoners and tell who was telling the truth, who was false, and who was half-truthful.

Professional things are left to professional people.

People are definitely stronger in the hands of the court than in his hands.

Chen Li had a plan in mind.

Someone wants to kill him, and he can't prevent it, so he can only hide a little better.

It's a big deal that I don't go out anymore, every time I eat, I let people test the poison first, and I take guards with me when I go to the thatched house, and I don't give any chance.

He didn't believe that the assassins could still blow up the palace.
