Chapter 550: Resurrection
So, everyone wondered who was so cruel. The Ninth Prince was going to be executed in the afternoon, but this person didn't even wait until then and was so eager to kill him.
"Perhaps after hearing that he was going to be killed, the Ninth Prince took his own life?"
In short, people had all kinds of speculations about the death of the Ninth Prince, but only the yamen runners had different ideas.
He was shocked when he heard that the Ninth Prince had left, and he quickly realized that the package given by Fan Zhengde might be poison.
The yamen runner, who felt he had grasped the truth, did not dare to tell anyone about this matter. He only comforted himself that although he had taken so much silver from the Ninth Prince, the Ninth Prince had met the wrong person and was killed by Fan Zhengde, which had nothing to do with him.
The bailiff lived in fear for two days, and when he saw that no one came to question him, he finally relaxed completely and quickly forgot about the Ninth Prince's departure.
The ninth prince, who was left outside the city wall, woke up from his bed as if he had come back to life.
The Ninth Prince was killed for plotting a rebellion, so his body was naturally not treated like the burial of a prince, and someone was obstructing him. As a result, the Ninth Prince woke up in a small hut in the forest.
"Ninth Prince, how are you?"
The Ninth Prince had just woken up from the chaos when he heard a familiar voice. When he turned around, he saw an unexpected person appear.
"Jiang Lin?" The Ninth Prince had never expected to see Jiang Lin here. "How did you know I was here?"
Jiang Lin smiled but said nothing.
The Ninth Prince then sneered, "As expected, Fan Zhengde has no good intentions."
Jiang Lin's words were vague, and he didn't clearly state his position. He said to the Ninth Prince, "Aren't you two birds of a feather? You don't have good intentions towards him, so why bother saying it so openly?"
The Ninth Prince paused after hearing this, then laughed, "Prince Jiang is quite insightful, but I wonder when did you two get together?"
"No comment." Jiang Lin said.
The Ninth Prince knew that he would not gain any advantage in the argument with Jiang Lin, so he did not continue.
However, seeing Jiang Lin at this moment really made him depressed. Before this, the Ninth Prince had repeatedly tried to probe Jiang Lin's identity with Fan Zhengde, but Fan Zhengde remained silent.
If he had known this, the Ninth Prince would never have chosen to cooperate with Fan Zhengde.
"What does Prince Jiang want to see me about?" the Ninth Prince asked impatiently.
"Nothing." Jiang Lin's mood was the exact opposite of the Ninth Prince's. "I just came to see if the Ninth Prince was still alive. It would be such a shame if he just fell asleep and died."
"Thank you for your concern, Prince Jiang. Now that you have seen it, can you go away now?" After several days of slumber, the Ninth Prince was not immediately clear-headed after waking up. His irritability was piling up, making him unable to deal with Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin had achieved the purpose of this trip, so there was no need to stay any longer. However, Jiang Lin would not miss the opportunity to make the Ninth Prince uncomfortable, and he left only after seeing the results that satisfied him.
After leaving the hut, Jiang Lin's expression changed.
"Master, is the Ninth Prince really here?" An Feng guessed something from Jiang Lin's solemn expression and was now seeking confirmation.
Jiang Lin nodded, "We'll talk about it in detail when we get back."
"good!"
The two came quietly and left quietly, but they left with inevitable boredom.
Jiang Lin and his team had just found that hut today. The moment Jiang Lin heard that the Ninth Prince had passed away, he didn't believe it, and then he had people follow where the Ninth Prince's body would be transported.
Their people saw with their own eyes the burial of the Ninth Prince. Although Jiang Lin had some doubts afterwards, he sent people back.
But Jiang Lin always felt that things were not that simple, until Qin Xiangnuan reminded him that perhaps it was a conspiracy between Fan Zhengde and the Ninth Prince from the beginning to the end, and it was possible that Fan Zhengde could make someone fake their death.
Although Jiang Lin didn't know what they were going to do by taking such a big detour, Qin Xiangnuan encouraged him not to miss any doubts. Only then did Jiang Lin go to the Ninth Prince's place to investigate after nightfall.
They saw that something had really happened and the Ninth Prince's body had disappeared. They then followed clues to find the Ninth Prince's whereabouts and happened to see him wake up with their own eyes.
After hearing that the Ninth Prince was really alive, Anliu curiously explored the reason and even thought about it from his own perspective.
Finally, Anliu said, "If someone chopped off his head, there would be no way to save it. That's why the Ninth Prince chose to take medicine in advance to cause a false death, so as to preserve his head."
“…” After hearing this, the others turned their attention to Anliu.
"Is there anything wrong with what I said?" An Feng asked with a blink of his eyes.
Jiang Lin gave him a look that was hard to describe.
Qin Xiangnuan lowered her head and smiled.
"Anliu, you used to have some brains, why now..." Anfeng also looked at him with an indescribable look.
Anliu felt very surprised. He didn't realize that there was anything wrong with what he said, so he asked Qin Xiangnuan, who seemed to be able to tolerate him.
"It's not wrong." Qin Xiangnuan heard the question and naturally gave the answer, "It's just that your focus is off. We don't need to know why the Ninth Prince chose to fake his death, but what he did for."
"..." Anliu fell silent. He knew what Jiang Lin and Anfeng wanted to express.
Jiang Lin and An Feng glanced at Anliu who was lost in thought, and then went to discuss with Qin Xiangnuan.
Anliu is left alone to ponder life.
Anliu thought seriously, since he could get to this point, he must not be a brave but foolish person. Why was that?
Thinking really helped Anliu find the answer, and he couldn't help but secretly look at Qin Xiangnuan.
Everything started to change with the appearance of Qin Xiangnuan. Jiang Lin also cared about them before, but there was always a gap between the master and the secret guards, and their relationship was not as close as it is today.
Anliu had never been so relaxed before, but now it was different. Anliu's true nature was completely exposed. He didn't need to be cautious or careful in everything. Over time, he became what Anfeng called "brainless".
"What are you still thinking about!" When Anliu was thinking about whether this was good or bad, Anfeng suddenly patted his shoulder.
This seemed to scatter all of Anliu's thoughts, making him unable to recall the entanglement just now. "Forget it!" Anliu thought so. Being able to act spontaneously is something that must be cherished.
"It's okay now. I was wondering why too!" Anliu said.
Anfeng looked at him questioningly, and Anliu raised his eyebrows. The confrontation between the two made the people who were stuck in thinking feel a little relieved.
Whether it is things or people, everything is changing, whether good or bad, there are only these few results.
The affair between Fan Zhengde and the Ninth Prince will eventually come to light.
