Chapter 404 It’s Done

As expected, whether a person's intentions are malicious or not can be told with 300% certainty from the tone of gloating.

Ji Yunzhi finally made up his mind that when the task was completed, he would personally send this old man off.

"Father, won't you let someone check it out?

Who on earth was so bold as to go straight to the door of the head of all officials and assassinate him?

If they come again in the future and hurt you, father, what will we do then?"

He asked three questions in a row with bad intentions, which made Prime Minister Ji shake his head.

“No, that can’t be done.

Do you think I'm you? I'm never willing to do even the smallest good thing to accumulate merit for myself. Your father has a good reputation outside, and he's dedicated to serving the public and has no integrity.

"Which blind little thief dares to sneak into my house and kill my great Prime Minister Ji? The people of Dayu can drown him with just a spit!"

I have to say that this old guy really pretends to be a decent person outside, and now it is obvious that he has no intention of giving me any help.

Ji Yunzhi became angry and embarrassed.

"Don't forget, you and I are now tied to the same rope. If something bad really happens, I can't escape, and I certainly can't escape you either!

If you really have a clear mind, you should lend a helping hand to your eldest son.

When I achieve success, I will definitely repay you, my father, for your kindness!"

Bah, look at you, you're so angry.

When you really succeed, you will definitely take revenge on me, right?

Prime Minister Ji, who had a clear mind, snorted calmly.

"Stop talking to your father about this useless bullshit. Your hands are just a remnant of my youth. Whoever climbs to the top of the mountain and looks down on the others will have to rely on their own skills.

Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Ji Yunzhi also sneered and moved the corners of his mouth. No matter how reluctant this old man was, he still had to obey orders obediently.

He looked up at the butler, who was standing there holding a lantern, bending down humbly, but not moving a step.

Prime Minister Ji also followed his gaze and coughed lightly twice.

"Ahem, your Uncle Zhang is not a stranger. He has been with me for so many years, he must know everything I do. If you have anything to say, just speak up."

Since the old man said so, even Butler Zhang must be aware of it. Ji Yunzhi was too lazy to waste words and directly leaned close to the other person's ear and gave instructions in a low voice.

"You must enter the palace again tomorrow to poison Li Chengxiu. I don't care what excuses or methods you use, but you must make the poison take effect within three days. Then, contact the civil and military officials, and we will directly take action at the end of the month to change the date!"

"No, is it so hasty?"

Prime Minister Ji was stunned by Haodaer's sudden crazy mind, and the emotion hidden in his eyes was full of disappointment.

You stupid asshole, you can't even do something as simple as rebelling!

As someone who has been through this, I wouldn't dare to act so casually, but you dare? Do you really think that the emperor is a weakling and anyone who wants to take action can do whatever they want?

Where’s your brain???!!!

Perhaps the emotions on Old Ji's face were too obvious, and Ji Yunzhi angrily explained a few words.

"No more waiting. Leng Yi is missing now and no one knows where he is. I received news that around the middle of next month, Dali will bring people to the capital.

There is no time to lose. I must get this done before they arrive. Only then will I have the strength to compete with Jiao Niang!"

Old Ji was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. If he didn't have to use this idiot as a hook, he really wanted to kill this stupid bastard right now!

"My dear son, do you even know what the overall situation is?

Let's not even talk about whether I could successfully poison the emperor in just three days. Even if I could do it by chance, those civil and military officials and aristocratic families are all as cunning as monkeys. Can they be persuaded to rebel with just a few words?

"Another thing: you, a powerless person with no power, no food, and no soldiers, are already thinking about regicide and rebellion. Then what about those who shamelessly join in the conspiracy? Do they really want to rule the country? Why would they support you? Is it because you're so shameless?"

"Father, be careful with your words!"

He stared at the other person angrily, took a few deep breaths, and then uttered another sentence through gritted teeth.

"I rely on orthodoxy!"

Prime Minister Ji's old eyes flickered, and he blinked at him in confusion. That look of "I won't do anything until you explain clearly" still showed that he was still the same monkey Ji who wouldn't give up until he saw the rabbit!

Ji Yunzhi stared at her for about thirty breaths, and finally couldn't help cursing.

He uttered obscene and vulgar words for the first time, and after he had calmed down a little, he whispered a name in the old man's ear again in a whisper.

Ji Xun's eyes suddenly lit up.

Hey, the lives of everyone in my Ji family, young and old, are now saved, right?

"I did it!"

"Father is wise!"

The father and son smiled at each other, each with their own ulterior motives.

Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty.

Li Chengxiu grabbed the spoils' arm and followed them obediently, running through the courtyard and climbing over the wall. Half an hour later, he brought the person to an empty side hall in the cold palace.

Looking at this unlucky guy whose tendons in his hands and feet were cut as soon as he left the Prime Minister's Mansion, he was thrown to the ground with a loud thud.

He shivered several times, then obediently and sensibly found a lighter to light the candle. Finally, he dared to give a flattering smile to the masked man holding a long whip opposite him.

"Hey, hey, wife.

Don't be angry first, just listen to my excuse!

Actually, the situation is like this. First of all, it is definitely not that I was disobedient and humiliated myself. No, I took a risk.

Mainly because I wanted to give you a surprise. I was thinking of catching this Leng guy as an appetizer, and then we can have a feast later..."

"Shut up!"

"Okay."

Jiang Wan was too lazy to bother with this idiot while she was angry, otherwise she would easily beat him up.

He turned to look at the person on the ground and sneered.

"Master Leng, if you continue to pretend to be dead, I will have no choice but to send you on your way."

Leng Yi, who hadn't moved or groaned a moment ago, now lay on the ground with his eyes coldly opened. Beads of sweat, the size of beans, hung on his pale forehead, and his expressionless face made one's teeth shiver uncontrollably.

This guy is such a tough guy!

"May I ask who you are? I believe I have never wronged you two. Why would you, your wife, become enemies with me?"

"Bah! You haven't offended me yet? You've already killed me, and you're still pretending to be innocent?"

Li Chengxiu, who has always been a coward in front of his wife, is a father who is not afraid of gods or ghosts no matter what life he was in.

He simply tore off the black cloth covering his head and face, and put his handsome face directly under the candlelight.

"I'm squatting right in front of you. Do you think your father looks like he used to?"
