Transmigrated into the body of Zhu Yunteng, the grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, he is unwilling to accept a tragic fate for himself and begins to find ways to build power and prepare for rebellion.
<...The words spoken by this middle-aged man, who claimed to be an assassin from Chechi Kingdom, shocked everyone.
Prince Zhu Gang of Jin, in particular, had a dark look on his face and secretly thought that things were not going well, because he never expected such a change to occur.
Before anyone could react, he stepped forward and spoke first:
"You say you are an assassin from Chechi Kingdom, so you are an assassin from Chechi Kingdom?"
Zhang San sneered and said:
"You're not from our Chechi Kingdom, are you? Whether I'm an assassin from our Chechi Kingdom or not isn't up to you to decide."
Prince Zhu Gang of Jin's face darkened. He hadn't expected that this guy would dare to defy him, the dignified Prince of Jin.
Just as he was about to get angry and lose his temper, he saw Zhang San continue speaking:
"Also, His Majesty the King and His Highness the Prince of Chechi Kingdom should know best whether I am an assassin or not."
Furthermore, this token of mine is genuine, and I am very familiar with the affairs of many assassins in Chechi Kingdom, as well as the missions we have undertaken.
"Should I take some here and now to prove my identity?"
Throughout the entire ordeal, the King and Prince of Chechi Kingdom both wore grim expressions. They couldn't deny whether the man before them was an assassin from Chechi Kingdom.
After all, this is not without a way to find out. As long as such an assassin exists and stands here, he has countless ways to prove that he is the assassin from Chechi Kingdom.
It wasn't just because of that small token, but also because he had indeed carried out many missions and was very knowledgeable about the affairs between assassins. He could even lead everyone directly to the place where assassins were usually trained in Chechi Kingdom.
Therefore, neither the King nor the Prince of Chechi could refute this point, and they had to acquiesce.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke up:
"Third brother, there's no need to get so agitated!"
Zhu Gang was immediately taken aback. He realized that he had indeed been a bit too excited just now. So he quickly took two steps back and stopped talking.
Then Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the King of Chechi and the Prince of Chechi and asked:
"Are these two people assassins from your Chechi Kingdom?"
The prince of Chechi Kingdom was at a loss for what to do, and could only remain silent for a moment before slowly speaking:
"Although that is true, his previous claim that my father and I sent them to kill the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty is absolutely false; it was fabricated by him."
Zhu Yuanzhang squinted. At this moment, the unexpected turn of events had clearly brought a lot of information to everyone.
So Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhang San and Li Si and asked:
"Since you are assassins from Chechi Kingdom, why are you here, standing up to identify this matter?"
Upon hearing this, the king of Chechi Kingdom immediately spoke up, saying:
"That's right, he's clearly framing him as our car's assassin. Why would he betray us? So it's clear he must have some other purpose."
Therefore, his words are unreliable; he is trying to frame us and target us. As we said before, the one who killed the Crown Prince might be someone else, trying to pin the blame on our Chechi Kingdom.
Therefore, all of this points to our Chechi Kingdom. The real murderer even bribed these two assassins from our Chechi Kingdom to testify against us; they are truly trying to kill us.
Otherwise, it doesn't explain why, if we really did it, these two killers would testify against us. It simply doesn't make sense.
When everyone heard what the King of Chechi said, they all felt that it made sense. After all, if it really was Chechi who sent these assassins to kill Zhu Yunwen.
So why did this assassin betray the King of Chechi Kingdom?
This is clearly unreasonable, and the King of Chi Kingdom would obviously not leave such a handle for criticism.
Therefore, the only explanation is that these two assassins were bribed by someone else to frame the Chechi Kingdom.
This is actually easier to understand and more reasonable.
With this seemingly reasonable explanation, the prince and king of Chechi Kingdom breathed a sigh of relief once again.
However, Zhang San smiled slightly and continued speaking:
"You want to know why I betrayed Chechi Kingdom, right? You want to know why I betrayed the prince and king of Chechi Kingdom, right?"
Actually, I want to know too. Why? Why did I betray them? Chechi Kingdom is my country!
"Since I became an assassin for Chechi Kingdom from the very beginning, I naturally have to be loyal to them. I certainly wouldn't betray them easily."
As he spoke, he looked at the King of Chechi Kingdom, then at the Prince of Chechi Kingdom. Then he asked again:
"So, can you give me an answer? Why would I betray you?"
The King and Prince of Chechi frowned and remained silent.
How would they know why?
Zhang San then continued:
"Then you should ask your conscience. We assassins work for you, the high and mighty rulers, doing all sorts of heinous and immoral things for you. But what have we gotten in return?"
We are doomed to die, which is understandable, because we have done too many shameful things, too many things that violate our conscience. We deserve to die.
But our family members are innocent; you shouldn't have killed them.
Do you know how desperate and heartbroken we were when we learned that so many of our killers' families had died overnight?
