Chapter 160: Waste of Natural Resources
Xiao Jingfan closed his mouth skillfully, picked up the Eight Treasure Tea as if thinking, but in fact he pricked up his ears to listen to his inner voice.
The assassin sent out disappeared without a trace, and the Shangbao Siqing happened to be in trouble at this critical moment. Although the crime was to stab a tyrant and a villain, the Prince of Cheng is not the Prince of Li. Anyone who truly believes this coincidence is a fool.
[Huadie Haiguihai is fine as an ally, and wants to help Prince Cheng escape. After discovering that Prince Cheng was being targeted by the Jinyiwei, he sent Tuoba Yong to deliver a message, ostensibly inviting him to dinner at Fuding Tower, but actually meeting him in a private room on the second floor of Wanhua Tower.]
[What a shame! The Jinyiwei haven't realized they've been tricked yet. If they really go to arrest them, they'll definitely come up empty-handed.]
Xie Hui was waiting for orders when he suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He looked up and found Xiao Jingfan staring at him expressionlessly.
???
Your Majesty was praising him just now, why is he disliking him now?
What exactly happened?
Chu Liuzheng didn't know that he had invisibly tricked Xie Hui, and was still complaining in his heart.
"Master Xie, you can't just focus on developing your intelligence network. You also need to change the communication signals and markings. Did you know that the Xixia spies have figured this out and are even impersonating Jinyiwei to spread false information?"
[Even though these are all insignificant... huh? Butterfly is actually planning to use this to trap the tyrant. Let me see... Tsk tsk, this plan is so stupid. If it succeeds, the Jinyiwei will have no need to exist, and it will just cut off one of the tyrant's arms.]
Chu Liuzheng glanced at Xie Hui with a hint of sympathy.
"Thank you, sir, for helping me get rid of my enemy, Zhang Baorong. I'll have to find a way to remind him as a token of my gratitude."
Xiao Jingfan: "..."
This is my order!
Suddenly, Emperor Shunguang, whose credit was taken away, became even more displeased with his Jinyiwei commander.
Xie Hui made him stare so confused that his back was sweating.
——If you are dissatisfied with anything, please tell me!
Chu Liuzheng, who was standing here with nothing to do, was thinking hard.
[Hmm... How should I remind him? Otherwise, I could use the Jinyiwei's contact information to write something random to get Lord Xie to find the loophole? I could write that the tyrant is bald... Uh, no, I'll be investigated. How about writing that the tyrant has three heads and eight legs?]
Xiao Jingfan was speechless.
What a mess this is. Are the four words "Your Majesty is Wise and Enlightened" so hard to think of?
[If I write this, I think I'll be seen as a dedicated citizen who loves to listen to storytelling, but I have a serious problem to solve.]
Big issue?
Xiao Jingfan listened curiously.
[Damn it! I have no one to use outside the palace! !]
The voice was as loud as a whistle, making Xiao Jingfan's head buzz.
He regretted it, really regretted it.
This woman can't just think about the real thing!
At this moment, Zhou Yuande came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Grand Tutor Yan and Lord Dong are requesting an audience outside the palace."
Xiao Jingfan rubbed his brows and said, "Announce."
Grand Tutor Yan and Dong Yi entered the hall. After some greetings and formalities, Xiao Jingfan gave them seats.
Chu Liuzheng nudged Chen Xing with his elbow and winked at her.
Take this opportunity to slip away... No, go to the tea room and make tea for the two adults.
Chen Xing nodded and understood!
Slipped away.
Chu Liuzheng was not brought.
Chu Liuzheng, who was left behind: "..."
No, girl, you are running so fast, are you wearing Hot Wheels?
【Forget it, it’s better to rely on yourself than on heaven or earth. 】
She stole a glance at the emperor and his ministers in the palace.
Dong Yi and the Grand Tutor were reporting the results of the investigation into the poisoned porridge case. The Emperor and Xie Hui were listening, and no one paid any attention to her for the time being.
【Slide!】
Chu Liuzheng turned around as naturally as possible, tiptoed slightly, and tried to slip out of the hall quietly.
Unexpectedly, after taking two steps, a familiar voice came from behind: "Come here."
Master Yan and the other two all turned to look.
Chu Liuzheng: “…”
She tried to look up at her forehead. Could it be that the words "come here" were really engraved on it?
He dared not disobey the emperor's order. Even if he wanted to slip away, Chu Liuzheng had to stand by the desk and wait for the emperor's instructions.
But she waited and waited, until Dong Yi and Grand Tutor Yan finished their report, but she didn't hear the next order.
She was puzzled, but her attention was now focused on the outcome of the poisoned porridge case.
[Tsk tsk, it's true that this follower took the entire responsibility. He was disgruntled and seeking revenge because the Grand Tutor had turned his own Crown Prince away. He's quite the loyal servant, but without the Prince of Li's instructions, how could a follower have the guts to challenge the Grand Tutor's residence and cause such a murder?]
[Most of his followers are dead. Let me see, his loyal Prince Li is now... Frog Fun! Contacting people to prepare for a prison break? ?]
[This is the capital! Prison breakout! Is this prince crazy?]
Chu Liuzheng didn't understand.
Xiao Jingfan, who was listening to the inner voice, didn't understand either.
I haven't heard that his nephew has a brain disease.
He was a little uncomfortable with the enthusiasm of people trying to put something against him.
Chu Liuzheng flipped through Prince Li’s prison break plan and was completely stunned.
What do you mean by just putting on night clothes and being done with it? Do you think a prison break is like going to a feast, where all you need to do is change into something respectable?
[What about the prison's structure? What about the guard rotation schedule? What about the escape route after the breakout? Where are the support personnel outside? What about Plan B if the breakout fails? You only have one life, so use your brain!]
Xiao Jingfan: "..."
Why is this woman so familiar with the prison break process? Has she done it before?
Chu Liuzheng, who simply watched too many TV dramas, said: Haven’t you eaten pork but seen a pig run?
[I finally understand what it means to bring the two of them together. No wonder Chen Dong can even miss with his hidden weapon. This is completely due to Li Wangshi... Wait a minute! This hidden weapon...]
Chu Liuzheng saw something interesting and flipped through it quickly.
[Oh my! Isn't this the small crossbow the Minister of Works has always dreamed of? It's powerful, and while its range isn't great, it's inexpensive. With a few modifications, like replacing the arrows with thin needles that are even harder to defend against, and smearing them with poison, it'll be a truly deadly weapon!]
[If every soldier could carry one and tie it to their arm, not only would they be able to catch the enemy off guard, but they could also save lives at critical moments!]
Xiao Jingfan's eyes flashed slightly. Is that hidden weapon so good?
As if answering him, Chu Liuzheng's inner voice rang out.
[Tsk tsk, Dasheng has so many bows and crossbows, but not many have received such a high system rating. This hidden weapon is a treasure. Where on earth did Chen Dong get it?]
She searched through the system.
[Holy crap! It was actually his junior fellow student who made this! He stole it from someone else. Because he made it so often, his junior fellow student didn't even notice.]
[Ah, this... no wonder the shot went astray. Besides being a novice, the hidden weapon in his hand isn't the final product. The real one is gathering dust in Lu's woodcarving workshop!]
[Dust! Look at these two words, such a waste of natural resources! ! ]
[No wonder Chen Dong said they were incompatible. This young man Lu's talent isn't in woodcarving, but in weapon modification! Minister of Industry, what kind of talent are you looking for? Come and grab this precious egg!]
Xiao Jingfan received an unexpected surprise: I will send the Jinyiwei to pick them up in a while!
Grand Tutor Yan and others looked at the emperor who was suddenly happy.
We're talking about a murder case, isn't it impolite for you to laugh like that?
Dong Yi called out cautiously, "Your Majesty?"
Stop laughing. Tell me whether you want to close the case here.
Xiao Jingfan came back to his senses, cleared his throat, and said seriously, "Continue the interrogation."
During the interrogation, it was discovered that his stupid nephew had sent people to break into the prison, and they were caught in one fell swoop.
