"I am Jin San, the leader of the Cao Gang! The reason why I assassinated you last time was because Wen Chenxuan wanted to alert the emperor and let him punish you for not protecting the Ninth Prince properly. Because I owed him a favor for the salt permit, I had to be the bad guy. Who would have thought that I would be killed by Wen Chenxuan..."

At this point, Jin San's eyes flashed with a trace of pain.

Wen Jingchi watched all this calmly and indifferently, as if he was outside.

Then, he seemed to remember something.

"Besides that, what other deal do you have?"

"There is also the profit that needs to be paid to the court. On the surface, we have to pay three layers of profit, but in fact, it is five layers. Wen Chenxuan secretly embezzled two layers. However, only he and I know about this. Even my subordinates don't know."

After hearing this, Chu Weiyue sighed.

"Wen Chenxuan, this cunning old fox, is really amazing. He actually secretly took so many kickbacks! Is he going to take so much money into his coffin?"

He is already rich enough, but people still take more from him. It's true that greed is the root of all evil!

Wen Jingchi glared at her with some dissatisfaction: "I think you are more greedy than him!"

His words were full of hints. Chu Weiyue moved closer to Wen Jingchi and shook his sleeve.

"Jing Chi, I think this is a good opportunity for you to make a contribution. You can take this opportunity to tell the Queen Mother, but you don't have to do it yourself. It would be most appropriate for the Queen Mother to punish Wen Chenxuan."

Wen Jingchi hesitated for a moment.

He knew very well that the royal family was the most concerned about their reputation, and if there was no definite evidence, it would be a crime of slander.

Although the Queen Mother has always loved him, it does not mean that she can tolerate such things.

"Everything must be based on evidence. Do you think the Queen Mother will believe the words of a fugitive, or will we be right if we tell others?"

They harbored important criminals of the imperial court and went to the Empress Dowager to make accusations. This was evidence in any way.

Chu Weiyue's eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought of a better way.

"Since she wants evidence, then we should give it to her. Aren't those people out to kill people? As long as we detain the killer, we will definitely be able to find evidence."

Wen Jingchi understood what it meant and felt that it made some sense.

Chu Weiyue deliberately walked around in the temple in a big way, and when he saw a few young monks, he immediately walked over.

"Young master, do you have any medicine for injuries? I just saw a man injured and unconscious in the back mountain. I temporarily placed him in a quiet room. Could you please get me some medicine for injuries?"

Hearing this, the little monk nodded in agreement without hesitation.

"Okay, lady donor. I'll get you some medicine now. The injured person needs some herbal medicine. I'll make it for you."

"In that case, I'll trouble you, little master. You monks are really compassionate."

He deliberately praised him loudly, then ran to other little monks to tell them about the incident.

She chattered like a gossip, and many monks knew that she had taken in an injured man.

She knew very well that these killers were lurking in the dark, and as long as the matter was spread with details, they would definitely wait for an opportunity to act.

The little monk delivered the medicine to a room, and Chu Weiyue deliberately made a lot of noise to make the killers think that Jin San lived in this room.

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, several masked killers approached the room silently.

They moved lightly and easily jumped down from the beams.

Just as they were about to assassinate the person lying in bed, a large net fell from the sky and trapped the three people.

This scene horrified them so much that they wanted to commit suicide by taking poison.

But it was too late, because the web was drugged and they quickly passed out.

This matter caused a lot of uproar, even the Queen Mother knew about it and brought people to investigate.

When they arrived at the yard, they found that the three killers had been tied to pillars and could not move at all, let alone commit suicide by taking poison.

"Jingchi, who are these people? Why do they come here so late at night?" The Queen Mother frowned and looked unsightly.

Wen Jingchi pretended not to know that Jin San was here.

"I rescued a wounded man during the day. After healing his wounds, I let him go back first. Who would have thought that these killers would come to assassinate him..." His answer was confused.

The Queen Mother is no ordinary person, how could she not know the whole story?

She knew everything that happened in the palace and the outer court.

So when she looked at these killers, she could see everything clearly.

"You have the guts to break into the royal temple, and lurk here so familiarly. Someone must have given you a map. Come here quickly. Who do you belong to?" The Queen Mother asked sternly with a cold face.

The killers gritted their teeth and refused to tell anyone even if they were beaten to death.

After being beaten, one of them could not bear it anymore and had to confess.

"Please spare us, Queen Mother. We are here to kill Jin San. We don't know who sent us here. We are professional killers and we will work for whoever pays us."

Chu Weiyue seemed to have caught something and laughed coldly.

"Hasn't Jin San's Cao Gang been wiped out by Wen Chenxuan? How did he escape? Your Highness should know that he is not dead after escaping, so why didn't he arrest him in a big way? With the ability of His Highness the Crown Prince, he couldn't have been unaware that Jin San is not dead, right? But everyone else thought Jin San was dead..."

Such words were tantamount to hinting to the Queen Mother that the reason Wen Chenxuan assassinated her secretly was simply because he had something to hide.

The Cao Gang has been wiped out, and it is clearly written on the notice.

So apart from the people who wiped them out, no one knew that Jin San was still alive.

Wen Jingchi didn't say anything, but his eyes were calm and peaceful.

The Queen Mother already understood the whole story and sighed helplessly.

"This is such an injustice. I never thought Wen Chenxuan could disappoint me so much."

But she also watched Wen Chenxuan grow up, and she doted on Wen Chenxuan the most when she was young.

Although he became less and less capable as he grew up, we are still human after all.

She knew even more clearly that this matter must not be told to the emperor, because once a person becomes an emperor, he cannot tolerate any sand in his eyes.

No matter how much he loved his son Wen Chenxuan, he could not tolerate him in this matter.

Anyone who deceives his superiors and subordinates must be eliminated as soon as possible. This is the so-called imperial art!

"Jing Chi, maybe they misunderstood that the person you saved was Jin San, so they came to assassinate him. Since the person you saved was not Jin San, and that person left, let's forget about this matter. Let them handle it while we watch."

With a long sigh, the Queen Mother turned and left.

Her back showed a sense of loss and sadness, which made Chu Weiyue a little depressed.

The Queen Mother is so kind!

He seems to be fair on the surface, but in fact he has always been biased towards Wen Chenxuan!

The other side.

Early in the morning, after Wen Chenxuan learned that the killer had been caught, he lost his grip on the teacup in his hand and it fell to the ground.

He looked at the counselor anxiously and questioned: "Didn't you say it was foolproof? Why did he get caught? This is the good idea you gave me!"
