Chapter 293: Gossip
The second prince sneered, "They are all abandoned chess pieces, what is there to be arrogant." ”
The words of the second prince made the cronies suspicious, but the cronies still chose to believe the prince and stumbled all the way back to the prince's mansion.
At night, his cronies conspired with the prince with injuries, but at this time, a wave of assassins suddenly broke in.
These people are not targeting the prince, but the prince's cronies.
Even a fool knew what was going on, and the prince had a positive answer in his confidence.
The cronies' eyes widened, and they looked at the prince in disbelief, and said in shock: "Your Highness, I have been working for you for several years, and you have done this to me?" ”
The prince snorted coldly, "There are many people out there who are willing to work hard for this palace, and it's not a pity that you can die under this palace, so let's die!" ”
The relatives laughed a few times, tears appeared in the corners of his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said: "If I walk out of the prince's mansion alive today, I will make you pay the price!" ”
After a few moves, they fell behind, and at the critical moment, the cronies abandoned their right arm that was bound by the assassins, and escaped from the prince's mansion with light skills.
Seeing this, the prince was furious and scolded the assassins: "It's all a bunch of waste, why don't you chase after it?" ”
His cronies know too many secrets about the prince's alliance with the prince for personal gain, corruption and bribery, and he will die.
At this time, the cronies who escaped from the prince's mansion did not dare to stop walking on the street for a moment, it was curfew at this time, and they were all patrolling guards, and they were a little surprised to see their cronies, and asked, "My lord went out late at night?" Still injured? But on the orders of the crown prince? ”
The cronies covered their wounds, took out the jade plate of the prince's mansion, and said softly: "I am performing the emperor's secret mission for the prince, and outsiders cannot know about it, if you help me hide it, I will definitely say a lot of good things for you in front of the prince!" ”
The guards were naturally excited, and watched their cronies leave.
The face of the cronie's fiasco was particularly infiltrating in the moonlight, and now he was desperate, looking at the Second Prince's Mansion close at hand, he entered the Second Prince's Mansion without thinking about it.
The second prince was discussing the prince's behavior with Jiang Muhan at this time, and when he saw his cronies suddenly standing in the courtyard covered in blood, Jiang Muhan got up and protected the second prince behind him and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
The second prince pushed Jiang Muhan away and said, "Sir, he is seriously injured, let's find a doctor first." ”
Although Jiang Muhan refused, he couldn't resist the second prince, but he felt a little disobedient when he saw the second prince and the prince's cronies sitting together.
The prince's cronies are martial arts practitioners, and they survived such a serious injury, looking at their missing right arm, their cronies smiled bitterly: "In the past, I regarded you as an enemy, but now the enemy is willing to save me." ”
The second prince didn't respond, and his cronies said again: "What you calculated before is really true, the crown prince is not as good as the second prince after all!" ”
The cronies told the second prince and Jiang Muhan a lot of secrets about the prince, including how to collect evidence, and the three of them could chat, from midnight to dawn!
The second prince heard the news and was eager to investigate, but Jiang Muhan reassured him and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, this assassin should be the prince's hands and feet, and the most important thing now should be that His Highness hides this person so that he can't be discovered by the prince!" However, the prince has a suspicious temperament and will inevitably suspect you! ”
The second prince asked, "I have already found a good place to hide this person, but we have to find a way to keep the prince from suspecting us!" ”
Jiang Muhan nodded, thought about it, and said: "Your Highness might as well pretend to be assassinated by an assassin and be seriously injured in bed, so that the entire capital knows about your serious injury, the emperor should not sit idly by, even if the prince suspects you, he will not dare to do anything to you!" ”
The second prince thought about it and felt that this method was feasible, so after properly settling the prince's cronies, he made a few inch-deep cuts on his arm and found a doctor!
Jiang Muhan randomly ordered a servant girl in the second prince's mansion, "The second prince was stabbed by an assassin today, and his diet needs to be light, in addition, the second prince is injured and has not woken up, so he should not enter and disturb." ”
Jiang Muhan is used to perceiving people's hearts, he has observed this maid for a long time, and her mouth is very broken, as long as she knows, it is not difficult to spread all over the capital!
Soon, at noon the next day, rumors spread throughout the capital that the second prince had been assassinated by assassins, was seriously injured, and fell unconscious!
Jiang Muhan was very satisfied with this effect, and looked at the direction of the Prince's Mansion and hooked the corners of his mouth!
At this time, in a restaurant in the capital, the prince was talking with the strategist about how to deal with the second prince!
The crown prince naturally heard this rumor, fiddled with the jade, and asked the strategists beside him suspiciously, "Can the assassination of the second prince be true this time?" ”
The strategist was also puzzled at this time, and said: "We didn't send someone to assassinate the second prince, why did the second prince come to be assassinated?" Could it be that the second prince has made another enemy? ”
The prince sneered, got up and walked to the window, looked at the bustling crowd downstairs, laughed evilly, and said: "This palace thinks that with his character, it is not strange if he has an enemy, and it is strange if he does not make an enemy!" In this case, we have to find the enemy behind the second prince, the enemy of the enemy is a friend! ”
The strategists gave up their hands one after another, and the prince asked, "Has the traitor been caught?" ”
The strategist was stunned for a moment, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead and said, "This ...... Not yet, I guess I'm dead, I have a broken arm, if no one rescues me, sooner or later I will bleed to death! ”
The prince looked at him coldly: "This palace wants to see people in life, and corpses in death, he knows too many secrets in this palace, if he doesn't die and defects to the second prince, can the prince of this palace still sit?" Don't go to this palace to find someone! ”
The strategist hurriedly responded and left the room!
The prince actually led people straight to the second prince's mansion in the afternoon, Jiang Muhan saw this, laughed in his heart, the fish was hooked!
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Jiang Muhan saluted.
"Get up, second brother, what's going on? Do you want you people to eat dry food? The prince looked at the second prince who was pale and unconscious on the bed, and pretended to be angry.
Jiang Muhan arched his hand and said: "Last night, His Royal Highness was reading in the study, and a group of thieves actually injured several government soldiers, and seriously injured His Highness, and there were traces of last night's fight outside!" ”
The prince glanced at the messy courtyard outside, and fully believed in his heart that the second prince was assassinated by thieves, but his face was angry and said: "The government soldiers are not good at taking care of it, so naturally they should go to receive the punishment, the second brother has accepted a big crime this time, and the palace will go back to report to his father, and let his father arrange a few capable guards for the second brother!" ”
After speaking, the prince left the second prince's mansion angrily, and the second prince lying on the bed opened his eyes, not a little sickly, and smiled: "My stupid imperial brother really believes it!" ”
Jiang Muhan also chuckled lightly and said, "Your Highness can free up your hands to check the evidence now!" ”
The second prince nodded.
