Wang Ren knew about Taoist Li's abilities and there was no possibility that he had miscalculated. The assassin must still be in the Hongluguan.
Wang Ren said: "Master Li, please calculate who that person is disguised as."
The Chief Censor asked, "Master Wang, do you suspect that the murderer is still in the Honglu Pavilion?"
"It's not just this one thing." To be able to let the assassin get the news and to change the situation before the supervisory army surrounded him, such a skill must have been informed by someone. When he checked the talisman branch, he was still in the palace. Later, he asked Taoist Li to tell his fortune and find out where the talisman branch was.
In less than a day, the assassin had already found out. Since no one informed him, he chopped off the head and let others kick it like a ball.
There is no rush to deal with those traitors; the current matter is more important.
Wang Ren looked at Li Lezhi with burning eyes, wanting to know the result from Li Lezhi immediately.
After thinking about it, the Chief Censor looked at Li Lezhi curiously. Now, they didn't know where the assassin was hiding. Could this Taoist really be able to calculate to that extent?
Li Le only pretended to use tortoise shell to tell tales, and finally found out that the assassin was hiding in Zhaohua Garden of Honglu Pavilion.
He figured it out.
"Zhaohuayuan?" The Chief Censor asked in surprise, "Master Li, are you sure it is Zhaohuayuan?"
Zhaohua Garden is not some other place but where Prince Jin lives. Could it be that the assassin is a eunuch beside Prince Jin?
But those eunuchs were clearly not women, and this Taoist priest had previously figured out that the assassin was a woman. What was going on?
The Chief Censor racked his brains but couldn't figure it out. He asked, "Where is the murderer hiding in Zhaohua Garden?"
He didn't remember that there was a secret room in Zhaohua Garden, so there should be no place to hide talents.
Wang Ren said: "Mr. Sun, if you want to know, we can go to Zhaohua Garden."
However, before going there, Wang Ren also called for an expert from the military supervision to accompany him, in order to prevent the assassin from being cunning and slipping away under their noses.
Hongluguan Zhaohuayuan
After the maid was taken away, the military supervisor did not leave. Fu Zhi disguised himself as a eunuch and stayed with Prince Jinguo all the time.
Just now, Fu Zhi brought up the matter of leaving the Honglu Pavilion again. Prince Jinguo frowned slightly. He also wanted Fu Zhi to leave earlier, but now the Honglu Pavilion was surrounded like an iron barrel, so there was no way he could find a chance to send Fu Zhi away.
The two failed to reach an agreement again.
Fu Zhi said: "Your Highness, why are you still hesitating? As long as I leave, they can't catch anyone. Even if they suspect Your Highness, it doesn't matter. The two countries are on good terms, and they can't treat Your Highness unfairly."
The prince of Jin State said, "Do you think I don't want to? Who spread the news before? You asked him to take you out. After all, our Jin State is a small country and has no foundation in Daliang."
Fu Zhi's face was gloomy.
If she could use the secret agents buried in Daliang, why would she wait until now? The person who contacted Yinsha didn't want to reveal his identity at all. Now she can only hope for the best.
Now, the Daliang military supervisors have surrounded the Honglu Pavilion. If she doesn't find a way to leave, she will be unable to escape, just as the traitors wish.
"Your Highness, people from the Three Departments are here," the eunuch walked in and said, his drooping brows revealing resentment. Ever since this newcomer came to serve Your Highness, he had been sent out by Your Highness.
When Prince Jin and Fu Zhi looked at each other, they could see the surprise in each other's eyes.
The prince of Jin State immediately calmed down and said to the eunuch, "I understand. You go down first."
Wait
After the servant left.
Fu Zhi calmed down, lowered his head immediately, and waited on the side, imitating the eunuch's behavior just now.
Prince Jin picked up the tea on the table and drank it all in one gulp to ease the tension in his heart. The three officials came to visit suddenly. Did they notice something unusual?
Are you coming to him to question him?
The person was found in the Hongluguan. If Daliang had not found out, and was bent on throwing dirty water on Jin State, even if he was a prince, how could he dare to disobey the order of the Daliang Emperor.
His Jin State was, after all, too weak.
Prince Jin thought a lot, and finally put aside his worries and went to meet the people from the three departments.
However, Prince Jinguo did not expect that before he even walked out of Zhaohua Garden, the military supervisors had surrounded Zhaohua Garden and came with a menacing look, as if they had found out something.
Prince Jin's eyes flickered slightly. Could it be that they already knew that the talisman was with him? Impossible. They didn't have any evidence, so they wouldn't know.
He stepped forward, frowned, and asked in confusion: "What do you mean, sirs?"
"It's nothing special. When we were tracking down the murderer, we found out that he ran to Zhaohua Garden where the prince lived. In order to protect His Highness' safety, we sealed up Zhaohua Garden?♀?♀???"
Wang Ren gestured a few times and drew a circle.
"I suppose there is such a thing?"
Prince Jin pretended to be surprised, and just when he thought it was a misunderstanding, he saw Li Lezhi behind Wang Ren - he was the Taoist who had calculated where the treasure was lost in Yangzhou.
How come he is here?
Could it be that he calculated that the talisman was with him?
If that Taoist really figured it out, then they are now nothing but clowns in the eyes of the people of Daliang.
Prince Jin was unwilling to think deeply. He came to his senses and continued, "Could it be a misunderstanding?"
"Is it a misunderstanding? Let's search and everything will be clear," Wang Ren said nonchalantly. After that, he completely ignored the expression of Prince Jinguo and strode past Prince Jinguo to walk inside. When he saw that there was only one eunuch in the room, he glanced at the layout of Zhaohua Garden and looked at and touched the shelves where bottles and jars were placed.
His attitude of having no scruples and seeming to be looking for something made the Prince of Jinguo look completely ugly.
Yang Wenjing saw this and coughed, saying, "Please forgive me, Prince Jin. The young marquis has that kind of personality. He is a devil. Only Your Majesty can make him restrain his temper."
The implication is that since you are not even the emperor, you can only be forgiven.
After hearing this, the Prince of Jin said with a fake smile, "Young Marquis is a true character, I understand." As if looking at Li Lezhi casually, the Prince of Jin asked, "Who is this?"
He still couldn't help but want to find out the details of this Taoist. The last time they met was in Yangzhou, and now they met again in the capital, and it was still a period of panic. Prince Jin couldn't help but wonder if this person secretly held a grudge, so he used this matter to attract the three officials to find trouble with him.
"This is Lord Wang's friend," Yang Wenjing said.
Prince Jin looked at Li Lezhi, then at Wang Ren who was searching the house, and he understood that it was indeed the Taoist who held a grudge and that was why he brought in the three officials to investigate.
I didn't expect that the Taoist priest I met in Yangzhou would have such great power in the capital.
Wang Ren walked out.
His face was solemn and he shook his head slightly at Yang Wenjing and the others. He had searched the place thoroughly but couldn't find any place where anyone could hide. Apart from the Prince of Jin, there were only his two eunuchs in Zhaohua Garden.
Taoist Priest Li clearly predicted that the assassin was in Zhaohua Garden?
Could it be that...
Wang Ren looked up?
He looked at Taoist Li who was looking into the room.
Following Taoist Li's gaze, he looked at the eunuch standing in the corner.
Since he entered the house?_[(.)]_?_???,
The eunuch gradually retreated to the door and stood there.
When the prince of Jin saw Wang Ren looking at the talisman, he felt something was wrong. He was afraid that Wang Ren would notice something wrong, so he immediately interrupted him and asked, "Sir Wang, have you found anything?"
Wang Ren glanced over and said, "Since Your Highness has asked, I will speak frankly. I suspect that one of your two eunuchs is the assassin. We need to take him back for a thorough interrogation."
Although he didn't see anything wrong with the eunuch, since Taoist Li felt that the eunuch was abnormal, he must be an assassin.
"Lord Wang, this joke is not funny," the prince of Jin State looked frightened. Not to mention that Fu Zhi was among them, just based on the other party's words, he was suspecting that Jin State had evil ambitions.
Not to mention, if he allowed the other party to take the person away, it would be like trampling on his face.
Prince Jin's face darkened slightly.
Wang Ren didn't care about that. He walked forward, put his hand on the shoulder of the Prince of Jin and said, "There is nothing we can do about it. The murderer is cunning. We are only concerned about your safety. After all, your eunuch is still your original eunuch, not someone who has been skinned and replaced with someone else."
"Lord Wang, you are joking. I can still recognize whether they are my people or not. On the contrary, Lord Wang, you are not trying to use the matter of hunting down the murderer to deliberately cause trouble for my Jin State."
"Your Highness, you are worrying too much. Our Third Division is not a dangerous place. We are just taking the guardian away for questioning. If there is no problem, we will naturally send the person back intact."
Wang Ren stopped arguing with the other party and gave the military supervisor a look.
The military supervisor immediately stepped forward and stood next to the eunuch.
Upon seeing this, the eunuch's calves trembled and he shouted to the Prince of Jin in a shrill voice, "Your Highness—" with a look of "save me" in his eyes.
Upon seeing this, Fu Zhi immediately called out to Prince Jin, his voice being no different from that of the eunuch.
Seeing that everyone had been caught, Wang Ren smiled at Prince Jin, and the group turned around and left Zhaohua Garden.
After the people left, Prince Jin's eyes were as if filled with poison as he looked at Wang Ren's back. He clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves. He bit his lips tightly, blood staining his lips red, as if he could not feel the pain.
I feel hatred in my heart.
He was just an official of Daliang and the son of a marquis, but no one took him seriously.
There was also a sense of fear lingering in his heart. If the fact that Jin and Zhao had joined forces was known to Daliang, there would be endless troubles.
Li Le just turned his head and glanced indifferently at the Prince of Jin who was standing in the corridor. He took his face in his eyes and his heart tightened. If he was not mistaken, the Prince of Jin looked like he was going to kill them with a knife.
What benefit would it bring to them if something happened to the emperor Qianqiu? As long as they find any clues, they will suspect that it was a secret plot by Jin State.
Full of suspicion, what good will this do them? Is it possible that the other party wants to hide something behind the light?
Li Le only looked at Fu Zhi who was disguised as a eunuch. After stepping into Zhaohua Garden, he saw two eunuchs standing there. He counted and figured out that one of them was Fu Zhi.
Fu Zhi's face is very different from that of the maid. Fu Zhi's face is more like a feminine man. Maybe because she is disguised as a eunuch, she looks a bit delicate.
, different from the maid. ?
There was no sign of makeup on Fu Zhi's face, and it didn't look like he was using makeup to change his appearance. Instead, it looked like a human skin mask that hadn't been dyed with any color. ?
Did human skin masks really exist in ancient times? ?
Li Lezhi calculated whether Fu Zhi was disguised by a human skin mask. After figuring out that it was, Li Lezhi looked over in surprise. This was the first time he saw a human skin mask that was so realistic that it looked like real human skin. He couldn't believe it.
?Feng Chui Lin An reminds you that "The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as the National Master" is being updated as soon as possible, remember [(.)]?8?♂?♂??
It’s no wonder that no one can find the other person’s trace. Even the face is different, so how can one find him?
Wang Ren took a few steps behind, walked to the side of Li Lezhi, and asked in a low voice: "What are you looking at, Taoist priest?"
In addition, he also wanted to clarify the last incident with the Taoist priest. Although he knew that he was the Chief Justice of Dali Temple, he had said that he was the Junior Justice of Dali Temple in order to test the Taoist priest. The difference of one word made him feel conflicted now. It seemed that the Taoist priest knew whether to hide it or not.
"Looking at the human skin mask."
"Master, do I have something to tell you?"
The two spoke at the same time, looked at each other, and then said at the same time.
"What's up?"
"Human skin mask?"
The two of them paused, and Wang Renxian said, "Even if I don't say it, the Taoist priest knows it."
Li Lezhi: "?" What does he know? Human skin mask?
Wang Ren said, "It was my fault last time. I deliberately tried to test the Taoist priest and said I was the Junior Official of the Dali Temple. Later, I was shocked by the Taoist priest. I didn't hide it on purpose."
Li Lezhi: “?”
Wang Ren said: "Nice to meet you again. I am the Minister of the Dali Temple."
Li Lezhi paused, slightly turned his head and lowered his eyes to look at him. Seeing his carefree and lazy appearance, Li Lezhi felt itchy. So he was right last time, the other party was the Dali Temple Minister.
Li Le was speechless. The world is big and full of pitfalls. Just as his teacher said, there is no good thing out there. Li Le had seen the lies.
"Master Li, you won't blame me, will you?" Wang Ren asked tentatively when he saw that Li Le just kept silent.
Li Le just looked at him, and finally shook his head and said: "Don't lie to me next time, it will affect the result of the calculation."
Wang Ren promised that he would not do it again next time, and asked, "Master Li, did you just say human skin mask?"
"Well," Li Le only looked at the two eunuchs who were surrounded by the military supervisors, and said to Wang Ren: "The eunuch on the left is wearing a human skin mask. When I was in Zhaohua Garden just now..."
Before Li Le finished speaking, he saw the eunuch on his left turned around and glanced at him. That glance contained too many emotions. Li Le didn't see clearly before he saw the eunuch suddenly stand up and try to break free to escape. However, he didn't expect that the people guarding her were not ordinary people, but all experts in their own fields.
Fu Zhi originally did not want to escape, but she had trained her ears very well during her time as the Hidden Killer Wei Duo. Even though Wang Ren and Li Le spoke in a very low voice, Fu Zhi could tell that the man was a Taoist priest with some skills.
That would have been fine, but the Taoist priest actually knew that she was wearing a human skin mask on her face. This made Fu Zhi not want to follow the people from the Three Departments back to the prison. If the matter of the human skin mask was exposed, they would definitely know that she was the maid who entered the palace.
In order to get what they wanted, Fu Zhi knew how she would be treated. Being tortured into confessing was a small matter. If her muscles and bones were injured, even if she returned to Zhaoguo, she would be useless.
Why not fight for yourself now?
Take the chance to live. ?
Who knew that the military supervisor who was guarding her was no ordinary person, and even she couldn't escape for a while. ?
It was precisely because he lost the chance to escape that Fu Zhi was captured.
‰The author Feng Chui Lin An reminds you that "The Ordinary Me is Respected as the National Master" will update the latest chapters in .? as soon as possible, remember [(.)]‰?‰♂?♂?‰
Wang Ren looked at Li Lezhi in shock, thinking, could it be that the Taoist priest had planned all this, deliberately talking about the human skin mask in front of the assassin, and also talking about who the assassin was. ?
The assassin mistakenly believed that her identity was exposed and had to give it a try. However, he had already been prepared and the military supervisor he recruited was no ordinary person. This happened to prevent the assassin from escaping.
It was effortless to find the other party.
Sure enough, when entering Zhaohua Garden, Taoist Li knew that this person was the real assassin.
After Wang Ren thought about this, he looked at the assassin Fu Zhi who was tied up, and then at the eunuch who was frightened beside him. In order not to alert the enemy, he decided to lock up the eunuch in the Dali Temple as well.
Because the news had leaked out earlier, they pretended not to know that they had caught the assassin this time and only thought of it as a suspect.
During the interrogation, the other party was indeed a carefully trained assassin. He was very tight-lipped and nothing could be gotten out of him. But fortunately, they still had Taoist Priest Li, who specialized in dealing with these tough issues.
Wang Ren asked, "Master Li, can you figure out which country she is from?"
Li Le only took a look at Fu Zhi, who was chained to the truss and covered with whip marks, and said lightly: "Zhaoguo."
After hearing about Zhaoguo, Fu Zhi, who was only breathing her last, looked in the direction of Li Lezhi. Looking at the Taoist robe on Li Lezhi, her heart stopped for a moment. She knew before that the Taoists in Daliang were very good at fortune-telling, but many years have passed and Daliang is no longer as prosperous as it was many years ago.
Those Taoists could only make a rough calculation. Even if they could make a clearer calculation, they were all in the worship hall. There was only one national master in Daliang, and no one had held this position since Tian Yanzi for a long time.
And now, she was actually in the cell, watching a Taoist priest using tortoise shells to tell her fortune, and he figured out that she was from Zhao.
She laughed softly, breathing out more than breathing in, and said, "He is just a fake Taoist priest, and he wants to bring the crime to Zhao State. What, you little Taoist priest want to cause a dispute between the two countries? Do you want to use this opportunity to rise to the top?"
Li Lezhi: “…” This crime is a bit serious, don’t throw the blame on him.
Li Le only said: "What are you afraid of? You are afraid that because of your identity as a Zhao country, you will cause trouble for Zhao country and expose the intention of His Majesty Zhao country to unify the world."
Fu Zhi had nothing to say, and didn't dare to say more.
She was afraid that others would really speculate Zhaoguo's intentions according to what this Taoist thought, then she would be the sinner of Zhaoguo.
Wang Ren's face turned slightly cold, and the smile on his face faded. The Taoist priests who caused the last flood were also the spies of Zhao State. This time, there were assassins hiding in the Jin State delegation and lurking in the palace. The Zhao State had sinister intentions.
Wang Ren thought of an idea, and said: "Master Li, is there any way to figure out this person's life and identity? How do they communicate with Zhaoguo? Do they have any secret codes? Besides her, are there other Zhaoguo assassins hiding in the capital? How can they contact them? Also, who is secretly passing on the news from the palace to them?"
Wang Ren told Fu Zhi everything in front of him. One reason was that he wanted Taoist Li to figure out what happened between Fu Zhi and the Zhao assassin so that he could talk to His Majesty about it. Since Zhao dared to reach out to Daliang, they couldn't be blamed for taking advantage of the situation and inserting people into the Zhao assassins to get information.
Secondly, he also wanted to use this to break through Fu Zhi's defenses and make him reveal more things.
After hearing this, Fu Zhi sneered in her heart. The young Taoist wanted to calculate her life story. The Dali Temple Minister was confused. Even she knew that the Taoists in Daliang could not calculate to this extent. If everyone could see through a person's life, wouldn't everyone be in danger?
?Feng Chui Lin An's work "The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as a National Master"??, domain name [(.)]? ?? ??
If there are such people, the world cannot tolerate them. How many people seem to be bright and beautiful, but are actually filthy and dirty behind the scenes? Their other side is hidden under their skin and cannot be known by others. ?
If one day, they were told that there was someone in the world who could record their life stories and everything they had done. ?
The only one who will die is the one who sees everything clearly. There is no room for pure whiteness in this world. They killed him, and they banded together again. Who can reveal their masks?
If a person can calculate his entire life, but has no one to protect him, he will only die young.
Such people may have appeared in Daliang, but they all died in assassinations in various countries.
Therefore, how could Fu Zhi believe that there was such a coincidence in the world and that the Taoist priest who could calculate a person's life was right in front of him?
After Li Le listened, he immediately wrote down a series of questions, the most important of which was the life story of the man in front of him.
Combining what Wang Ren said, Li Le only needed to use his brain to know what the other party meant. The other party wanted to know everything about this assassin and catch all the other assassins of Zhao State in one fell swoop.
Li Le just started to calculate, one question after another. He said: "Fu Zhi, Zhaoguo secretly killed the leader of the guards."
After calculating the following, Li Le was silent for a while and said, "When she was five years old, she was demoted to a palace maid because her father was convicted. Later, she was spotted by the Crown Prince of Zhao and sent to the Hidden Killing Guard for training. When she was ten years old... when she was fifteen years old, she killed the previous leader of the Hidden Killing Guard and became the new leader. After that, she worked for the emperor openly and planned for the Crown Prince secretly to help him ascend to the throne."
When Li Lezhi told Fu Zhi's life story, Fu Zhi was shocked and looked at Li Lezhi in fear. How could it be possible? How could someone really calculate a person's life story? Such Taoist priests, shouldn't they have been killed long ago? How could it be possible...
No one could answer her question. After she was shocked, her eyes were dead silent. Now, she had no way to kill the Taoist in front of her.
Then in the future, when the armies of Zhao and Daliang go to war, Daliang will be unstoppable with the help of this Taoist priest.
At that time, Zhao State wanted to stop the army of Daliang, but it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and could not escape the fate of being destroyed.
Fu Zhi asked, "Who are you?"
She had seen the famous young Taoist priest in Daliang, and he didn't look like this. If this man was Daliang's hidden backup, how many Taoist priests in Daliang could have predicted this? The intelligence was wrong, damn it.
Fu Zhi wished he could go back to the past, change everything, and pass the true information about Daliang back to Zhao State.
"Me?" Li Le said, "I am just an ordinary Taoist priest and a country bumpkin."
Fuzhi: “…”
Fu Zhi looked at Li Lezhi's calm face through her messy hair, and tilted her head slightly. She still had a silver needle in her mouth. She originally wanted to find a chance to escape from here, but now she had no choice but to use the needle here. Her life was insignificant compared to this Taoist priest.
"You are very strong. You are the first person I admire," Fu Zhi said, and spit out the silver needle in his mouth. The silver needle, as thin as a cow hair, went straight to Li Lezhi's throat with the thrust.
The assassin killed him with one strike.
Wang Ren noticed something was wrong, his pupils shrank, and he shouted, "Be careful." He could sense something passing by, but he couldn't see clearly what it was. In order to protect Li Lezhi's safety, Wang Ren stood in front of Li Lezhi.
"It's useless," Fu Zhi laughed softly.
