Chapter 216: The Cunning Rabbit Has Three Burrows
As for the outcome, I've already told you, Father. I'll assist the Imperial Clan Court. We'll definitely find clues by following the assassin's body. By then, we'll know who the assassin was and who sent the killer. Everything will become clear!"
Yuwen Yuntian thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Third Brother, you will be in charge of this matter and will work with the clan affairs office to handle the case!"
"Yes! Father! I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter!"
In the evening, the banquet started. Yu Wenting did not attend the banquet on the pretext of investigating a case and went directly to the clan residence.
At the banquet, Yun Li was not interested in watching the singing and dancing. She approached Helian Chi and asked quietly, "Ah Chi, you and your brother have some plans, right?"
Helian Chi nodded, then whispered a few words into Yun Li's ear.
Yun Li hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and asked suspiciously: "Are you sure my brother can catch him?"
"What? You don't believe in big brother's ability?"
"...He doesn't have any martial arts skills, so what strength do he have?"
Hearing this, Helian Chi curled his lips and smiled: "Don't worry! As long as he dares to send people, big brother will definitely catch him!"
…
In a secluded place in the palace, Yuwen Ting summoned his trusted men
"Qinglong, I order you to go to the clan house and dispose of that body!"
"Your Highness, please tell me which body it is. Many of our people died that day..."
"If I knew which body it was, why would I come to you?"
The secret guard hesitated and said, "Then...then what Your Highness means is..."
"You can act according to your circumstances. It's okay to destroy them all!"
The secret guard seemed to have thought of something, his eyes flashed involuntarily, and he said: "Your Highness, I have a good idea."
"Tell me about it"
"Your Highness, why don't you have me set fire to the clan residence? That way we can solve this problem once and for all!"
"No! Setting fire to the clan residence is a heinous crime that would result in the extermination of all nine generations of the clan! Not to mention that the clan residence contains various clan cases and regulations from the founding of Yu Nation. No one can afford such a loss!"
Yuwen Heng thought for a moment and then continued, "If there's an accident, you can set fire to the morgue in the prison and dispose of the bodies immediately! Remember not to leave any traces!"
The secret guard nodded and said, "Yes! Your Highness, rest assured, I will complete the mission!"
After the dark guard finished speaking, he instantly disappeared into the darkness.
…
The corpses of men in black were laid out in rows on the floor of the morgue in the Zongrenfu prison.
The prison had already set up a dragnet, waiting for Yuwen Heng's men to come.
Qinglong used his lightness skills to shuttle through the night, cleverly avoiding the guards of the clan house, and arrived at the gate of the prison with ease. He was surprised by the smooth and easy way.
He said with disdain in his heart, "Everyone says that the clan residence is heavily guarded and full of experts, especially around the Heavenly Prison, where not even a fly can get in. Now it seems that it's just like that! A living person like him still managed to get in alive..."
He took the opportunity to knock down a guard who was patrolling around the prison, stripped off the guard's clothes, quickly changed into his own, and then hid in the patrol team, posing as a patrol guard and sneaking into the prison.
The light in the prison was dim. Qinglong lowered his head and used his peripheral vision to find the location of the morgue.
He found that since he came in, none of the guards in the prison questioned him. He had no obstacles along the way. Logically, he should have gone through layers of questioning before entering. The guards on both sides seemed not to see him.
This smooth process made him feel a little uneasy. He also thought about how everything had been smooth sailing since he entered the clan residence. Could it be a trap? Waiting for him to fall into it?
Realizing this, Qinglong thought to himself that something was wrong and immediately wanted to turn around and leave.
I just felt my legs go weak, my steps become weak, my eyesight gradually becomes blurred, and then I fell to the ground.
The guards beside him had no surprise in their eyes, and they stepped forward tacitly to drag the Qinglong away.
"Sir, we caught him! It's him!"
Lord Li from the Imperial Clan Court waved his hand and said to the two guards, "Go down!"
"Yes, sir!"
After the two guards left, Lord Li looked at Yu Wenting who was drinking tea at the top seat in the room.
"Your Highness, everything is as you expected! Does Your Highness know this person?"
Yuwen Ting glanced at the man dressed as a guard lying on the ground outside the house. How could he recognize him? He was nothing more than Yuwen Heng's man!
“I don’t know him!”
Lord Li asked again, "Your Highness, how long will it take for this man to wake up after taking the Chinese medicine? I will have someone keep him under strict supervision and interrogate him when he wakes up!"
"I'm not sure when he'll wake up, but he won't wake up tonight! How about this, Lord Li? I'll have someone who has the antidote send another one over tomorrow!"
"That's great. Thank you, Your Highness! Your Highness, I have a question for you. Would it be convenient for you?"
"Master Li, please feel free to speak!"
"Your Highness, how did you know that someone would come to the clan residence tonight?"
Yu Wenting raised the corners of his lips imperceptibly. "It's just an intuition. As for why I have this intuition, there are some things I can't say directly. Lord Li, you can ask privately, besides me, who else did the emperor summon today..."
Lord Li looked at Yuwen Ting suspiciously, and he began to wonder.
The Emperor summoned the Third Prince, accompanied by His Royal Highness Prince Yu of Yueqi Kingdom and his wife, and then the First Prince also entered the palace.
It is definitely ruled out that the person was not sent by His Royal Highness Prince Yu of Yueqi Kingdom. The Third Prince said so, and he was just short of naming names. Who else could it be except the First Prince?
Lord Li suddenly felt overwhelmed! This case was not easy to solve! This was clearly a fight between the two princes!
Yu Wenting finished his last sip of tea, stood up and said, "Master Li, I'm going back now. Tomorrow morning I'll bring the antidote and join you in the trial of this man!"
"Yes! Your Highness, please rest assured!"
"kindness"
When Yuwen Ting returned to the Third Prince's Mansion, Yunli and Helian Chi were also preparing to leave the palace.
In the carriage, Helian Chi told Yun Li all about Yuwen Ting's plan.
Yun Li was shocked after hearing this. "After all this time, you took the medicine from the space? You didn't even ask me, aren't you afraid of taking the wrong one?"
"How could you have taken the wrong one! You've clearly marked the name and function on the bottle! Big brother didn't let me tell you, saying you'd have to worry about it if you knew. We two men can handle these things!"
"Humph! What did you accomplish? In the end, I still have to take action..."
A trace of surprise flashed across Helian Chi's face. He looked at Yun Li in confusion and said, "Li'er, what do you mean?"
Yun Li whispered a few words in his ear.
Then, with a proud expression on his face, he said, "What do you think? Isn't my idea more brilliant and effective than yours? A direct and fatal blow!"
Helian Chi looked at her lovingly and pinched Yun Li's face: "Well, Li'er's idea is indeed more perfect!"
