In the Dali Temple prison, two Assassins are being interrogated.

"Are you guilty?" The waiter of the criminal department asked sharply.

One of the Assassins replied, "Little one doesn't know what kind of sin he is?" ”

"Humph! Dare to quibble! The squire of the Criminal Department snorted coldly, "Assassinating the emperor is a big crime of punishing the Nine Clans!" If the two of you confess to the rest of the remnants of the former Ming Dynasty, maybe this official can still lightly punish you and others! If you insist on covering up, you will only have no place to die! ”

The two Assassins looked at each other, and one of them replied, "The little one doesn't know anything!" What a remnant of the former Ming! ”

"Yes! The little ones really don't know anything. Another Assassin followed suit.

The waiter of the criminal department laughed angrily: "Hehe...... All right...... Since you are so stubborn, don't blame the official for torture! Come on, torture them! ”

Immediately, a servant stepped forward, tied up the two, and prepared for execution.

Seeing this, the two Assassins turned pale with fright, and one of them exclaimed, "Spare your life—your lord!" ”

Hearing the sound of begging for mercy, the waiter of the Criminal Department glanced at the two of them coldly: "I'll give you one last chance, let's talk." ”

One of them said in a trembling voice, "My lord, the little one is just taking money to do things." As for where those remnants of the former dynasty are hiding, the little ones really don't know, and the two of us are not the remnants of the former dynasty, just running errands on the rivers and lakes. ”

Another person also hurriedly chimed in: "Yes, my lord, the little ones are all doing things with money, and the other little ones really don't know." ”

When the waiter of the Criminal Department heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he glanced at the two of them coldly: "Since this is the case, then continue to be punished!" ”

"Your Excellency—" The two assassins wailed in horror.

The waiter of the Criminal Department waved his hand and motioned for the official to step forward and continue the punishment.

After several persecutions, one of them couldn't stand it anymore and cried and confessed: "My lord, spare my life!" The little ones are all recruited! The little one knows that he is wrong, and begs the adults to let the little one live! ”

The squire of the criminal department squinted at the man and asked in a deep voice: "Say, where are the remnants of the front under your command hidden!" ”

"The little one really doesn't know what the former Ming remnants are! The person who asked us to do the work lived in a ruined temple on the outskirts of the western part of the city, and he usually did not show up, but returned to the ruined temple on the fifth, fifteenth, and twenty-fifth days of the first month of each month. Unless the man came to the door, the little ones wouldn't see him at all. The man explained as he cried.

"On the outskirts of the western part of the city?" The squire frowned and thought for a moment, "Do you know what his name is?" ”

"The little ones don't know." The two assassins shook their heads.

The waiter of the Criminal Department immediately asked a few more words, and then decided to send someone to guard the broken temple in the western suburbs of the city, and after the arrangements were made, the waiter of the Criminal Department waved his hand to the servant, "Let's escort these two people down first." ”

At this time, in Prince Heng's mansion, Wanyue received a message from the shopkeeper of the Yueminglou Tea Garden, she carefully read the content of the letter, her beautiful eyebrows gradually twisted into a ball, and her eyes lowered and fell into deep thought.

"Fujin, what's wrong with you?" Yuewen, who was waiting on the side, asked with concern.

"It's fine." Wanyue slowly raised her head and smiled lightly, "I'm fine, but I suddenly remembered something." ”

Seeing this, Yuewen didn't ask any more questions.

The news revealed in the letter from the shopkeeper Wang made Wanyue think about it.

According to the information provided in the letter from the king's treasurer, the two assassins were bribed in a ruined temple on the outskirts of the western part of the city, and the person who bought them turned out to be the prince's man!

This is something that Wanyue didn't expect, after all, the crown prince has been deposed by the emperor a long time ago, not to mention that now the prince is also safe, and the emperor treats him as always, how can he still do this?

Why did the prince let his personal subordinates bribe the three sects and nine streams of the rivers and lakes to assassinate the emperor? Does he want to rebel?

In his previous life, the prince also forced the palace to rebel with Suo Etu, and the emperor decided to abolish the prince at that time.

Thinking of this for a while, Wanyue felt a little messy in her head, and couldn't help rubbing her temples.

Seeing this, Yuewen hurriedly poured a cup of tea and served it to Wanyue, and said worriedly: "Fujin, what's wrong with you?" Is there any trouble running in? ”

Wanyue shook her head: "I'm fine, it's okay." You go to the front yard and call the prince, and say that I have something to discuss with him. ”

Yuewen answered yes and immediately turned to leave.

In the study, Yinqi was sitting at the desk dealing with official documents.

"Lord Wang." Yuewen knocked on the wooden door of the study and stood at the door of the study and called.

Yinqi stopped his pen, glanced at the door suspiciously, saw that it was Yuewen, and asked, "Do you have anything to do with me?" ”

Yue Wen raised her eyebrows and replied lightly: "Fu Jin said that he had something important to discuss with the prince, and he hoped that the prince would move to Xinuan Pavilion." ”

Yinqi was a little surprised, but didn't make much guesses, nodded and agreed: "Okay, you go back first, I'll go over immediately." ”

After Yuewen left, Yinqi got up and left the study.

When he arrived at the Xinuan Pavilion, Wanyue was sitting on a chair, holding a hot tea in her hand and tasting it quietly.

Seeing Yinqi coming in, Wanyue got up and responded, "The prince is here." ”

Yinqi bowed his head and sat down on the round stool on one side: "What is Fujin looking for this king?" ”

Wanyue picked up the letter given to her by the shopkeeper Wang on the table with some concern, handed it to Yinqi, and said, "Lord Wang, take a look at the contents of this letter." ”

Yin Qi looked at Wanyue suspiciously for a while, and then reached out to take the letter. He quickly scanned the entire letter, and then raised his eyes to look at Wanyue: "These are all nonsense from the king's shopkeeper, right?" ”

"The concubine body also hopes to be fake, but it's just ......," Wanyue sighed, "The concubine body always feels that the prince seems to have a plan." ”

Yin Qi frowned his thick black sword eyebrows, muttered for a long time, and said, "No matter what the prince has in mind, he just needs to strengthen his precautions." Maybe someone wants to blame the prince for this. ”

However, Wanyue doesn't quite agree with this, after all, the prince in the previous life really rebelled!

Seeing that Yinqi didn't take this matter to heart, Wanyue couldn't help but persuade: "Lord, the concubine thinks we might as well keep an eye on it." ”

Yin Qi frowned, "Let's wait and see before making a decision on this matter, I heard that Dali Temple and the Criminal Department are also trying those two assassins, I believe there will be a result soon." ”

Wanyue pursed her lower lip lightly, and looked at Yinqi again as long as she wanted to speak.

In the early morning of the next day, the sky was just slightly bright, and the officials sent out by the squire of the criminal department really caught a sneaky person in the ruined temple in the western suburbs of the city, but the squire of the criminal department was shocked when he saw this person, because this person was Xiao Anzi, the powerful eunuch next to the prince!

After the identification of the two assassins before, it was really Xiao Anzi who let them assassinate the emperor, and the matter was so big that the servant of the criminal department did not dare to slack off, and hurried into the palace to ask for a report to the emperor.
