Chapter 205 The Monkey King Leads the Sheep

"Who is it? Someone, there's an assassin!"

In the middle of the night, the tranquility of the night in Zhao Chengye's mansion was broken by a strange noise.

Originally, Zhao Chengye was working in the study, but the window of the study was suddenly hit by something, making a sharp sound, which immediately alarmed the guards nearby.

The guards saw a black shadow flash by, and they shouted subconsciously.

Some people chased the black shadow, and some people quickly surrounded the study. They were alert to the surroundings to prevent the assassin's accomplices from hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to hurt their highness.

Zhao Chengye was in the study room when he heard the noise and wanted to come out to see what was going on, but he was stopped by someone. For safety reasons, he was asked to stay in the study room for the time being and the door was closed.

After a while, the noise outside slowly stopped. He then opened the door of the study room and walked out, asking in a deep voice: "What happened?"

"Your Highness, I just saw a dark shadow flash outside the study room, and the other party also smashed something at the window of the study room."

Zhao Chengye frowned, "Is it an assassin?"

"This... I'm not sure, the dark shadow was very fast, and I and others didn't catch up..."

The guard who was kneeling on one knee on the ground didn't tell the truth. Because he was too embarrassed and didn't dare to say it out loud! He

said that he finally caught up, but found that the dark shadow he was chasing looked like... like a monkey? Not to mention whether His Highness believed it or not, he himself didn't believe it either!

He suspected that he had chased in the wrong direction and let the real suspicious person run away. Then he met a monkey that escaped from somewhere.

He thought that the monkey should have escaped from the hands of the performers, and somehow escaped here. It just so happened that an assassin sneaked into the mansion and wanted to harm His Highness.

Zhao Chengye didn't have much suspicion. It was not surprising that someone wanted to assassinate him.

He and his brothers, although they were brothers, didn't have much affection. Now they are fighting for the position of the crown prince. If he died, I don't know how many people would applaud.

"Check it quickly and see if there is anything missing."

"Your Highness, this is what the man smashed on the window."

Someone walked over with something in his hand.

Zhao Chengye's eyes fell on it.

It was square and looked like a box. It was wrapped with a very common coarse cloth, and it was impossible to tell what it was.

Zhao Chengye looked at it for a while, stepped forward and was about to reach out to open it -

"Your Highness, no! Let me do it!"

Zhao Chengye raised his hand to stop him, and slowly opened the cloth himself, revealing a rough wooden box.

He paused and reached out to take the wooden box. Now he weighed it in his hand and reached out to open it.

"Your Highness, be careful!"

The box was opened, but nothing happened as everyone expected. A notebook lay quietly in the wooden box.

Zhao Chengye frowned, confused: What is this?

He picked up the book, opened it and looked at it. His eyes suddenly widened, and there was a flash of suspicion in his pupils.

He put the book away in a flash and ordered, "Mr. Gu and Mr. He, follow me into the study. Everyone else, please go away and strengthen the patrol!"

Mr. Gu and Mr. He were both Zhao Chengye's staff. They looked at each other and followed Zhao Chengye into the study.

After the door of the study was closed, Zhao Chengye walked to the desk and sat down before putting the account book he had just received on the desk. "Take a look at this first!"

Mr. Gu stepped forward and took a look. He was shocked. "This... Your Highness, is this the thing in the wooden box just now?"

Mr. He took it and looked at it, and was also surprised.

"Do you two gentlemen think what is written in this account book is credible?"

Zhao Chengye was not stupid. He believed any random account book as true.

Mr. He did not say anything. He slowly flipped through the book. After a while, he looked at Mr. Gu and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, we think there is an 80% chance that what is written in this account book is true!"

When we say 80%, in fact, to put it bluntly, this account book is true!

Zhao Chengye's heart could not help but be excited, but he soon calmed down. "If it is true, who sent it? Isn't this a trap?"

Use him to deal with the fourth brother, wait until he gets rid of the fourth brother, and then deal with him. In the end, the fisherman gets the benefit?

This question really stumped the two gentlemen.

"No matter what, Your Highness, this is a rare opportunity! Since the other party is willing to hand over such important evidence to Your Highness, I think he is not your enemy. Otherwise, such evidence can play its role no matter where it is placed, so why send it to Your Highness in this way?"

"Yes, maybe the other party did this just to ask Your Highness to do a favor. It is also possible that the other party's status is too low, even if the account book is released, it will not achieve the expected effect and cannot play the greatest role, so it was sent to Your Highness."

"Your Highness, this opportunity is rare, you should think twice!"

Mr. Gu suddenly remembered something, his expression was strange, and he said: "Your Highness, could this matter be related to the theft in Li Gang's house?"

Although Li Gang said to the outside world that he was holding on to the matter because his illegitimate son was killed, they found out that there was a theft in Li's house that night, but the whole matter was kept secret by everyone in Li's house.

Zhao Chengye also remembered this matter, and when he looked at the account book in his hand, his doubts suddenly decreased and he became more certain.

"Arrange it. Since it is an opportunity that comes to our door, we must make good use of it!"

As for the person who sent the account book, he accepted such a big favor! If there is a chance in the future, if the other party asks for it, he will definitely meet their requests within the permitted scope!

After finishing his work, the monkey king jumped all the way to the mansion of Duke Cheng. But when he passed a house and saw the lights below, he thought that the woman seemed to like things like books. In this case, he would get her a few more books to make her happy!

Who called him the monkey king? She was just a girl, so it was okay to spoil her. It was no big deal!

So he limped and went to steal - no, take things!

It walked along the way, taking things along the way, and went around all the mansions along the way. If it saw someone in the study, it would go to the main courtyard - it didn't stay in the Chengguo Mansion for a long time, but it was smart and knew what the main courtyard was. If there was no one in the study, it would go in and stroll around, and take the sheep. It went
