Chapter 391: Provocation Plan Implementation

In the next few days, Mo Yunzhu ate and drank well, and gained some weight at Renshan Medical Clinic.

The injured wrist has basically healed after being treated with her own silver needles.

Zhuo Hongli came to see Mo Yunzhu almost every day. Occasionally, Zhuo Yu would come along, bringing some supplements and persuading Mo Yunzhu to return to Wanyao Pavilion to recuperate.

However, Mo Yunzhu could see that Zhuo Hongli seemed to be even busier, and his old face did not look very good, which showed that he had not been happy these past few days.

At least Uncle Zhou wanted to kill Mo Yunzhu behind his back without saying a word, which made Zhuo Hongli very angry and sad.

Zhuo Yu also said that someone sent letters from Chen Tianqi from time to time, which should have made Zhuo Hongli in a bad mood.

But he didn't know what the specific content was.

In Zhuo Hongli's eyes, Zhuo Yu was just taking care of business all day long, dealing with medicinal materials from the other four countries, and so on.

The imperial capital has recently implemented a curfew again, but even so, people are assassinated every night, and their throats are slit before midnight.

Most of them are retired officials or officials who are still on duty.

There are officials of all sizes, which makes the new emperor Chen Yan take it seriously.

Chen Tianqi and Eunuch Song paid more attention to it.

At night, the city guards, the Ministry of Justice, and the government offices were all patrolling outside, to the point where they saw enemies everywhere.

Because most of the dead were people who had bullied Jun Huolan, the Qingyun hostage, Song Gou believed that it might have been Mo Yunzhu who did it.

But the surveillance personnel and Cheng Linhan said that Mo Yunzhu had not gone out to recuperate, and that Mo Yunzhu did things honestly and would not go out in the middle of the night.

Cheng Linhan mentioned intentionally or unintentionally that Zhuo Hongli's movements during this period were rather vague, which made Song Gou suspect that it was Zhuo Hongli who did it.

Because a large number of those who died were people who had been instigated and valued by Song Gou before.

Song Gou was suspicious and thought that Zhuo Hongli might have been secretly dealing with him, which would weaken his power in the imperial capital.

He analyzed the situation with Chen Tianqi, but Chen Tianqi didn't believe it. Song Qian wanted to take action against Zhuo Hongli, but was afraid of angering Chen Tianqi.

Until Cheng Linhan wrote to him privately and brought him important news.

Mo Yunzhu was assassinated by Zhuo Hongli's confidant Zhou Shu.

This made Song Gou's face change drastically.

Zhuo Hongli's men killed Mo Yunzhu. Doesn't this mean that Emperor Chen Tianqi will not be able to survive?

But Song Qian didn't dare to tell Chen Tianqi because he had been suspicious of Zhuo Hongli these days, and the two even had a few arguments.

Therefore, before he was absolutely sure and had evidence, Song Qian did not dare to talk to Chen Tianqi.

However, Song Qian wrote a letter to Cheng Linhan, asking him to secretly monitor Zhuo Hongli and send a pigeon to deliver the message immediately if there was any movement.

That night, Zhuo Hongli came to see Mo Yunzhu again, and Mo Yunzhu looked very unhappy.

"Yunzhu, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell again?" Zhuo Hongli has been exhausted these days, but he still smiled lovingly when he saw Mo Yunzhu.

"Uncle Zhuo, do you know what Commander Xiao Cheng said to me?" Mo Yunzhu said with a grim face.

Zhuo Hongli was stunned and asked, "What?"

"So many people died in the imperial capital during this period. Eunuch Song suspected that you were the one who did it."

"What!" Zhuo Hong jumped up immediately, "How dare Song Gou slander me like this?"

"Uncle Zhuo, this is what Commander Cheng told me personally. You should know that all those who died were Eunuch Song's men. You are the only one who dared to go against him.

Commander Xiao Cheng asked me not to tell you, but you are my Uncle Zhuo and Zhuo Yu's adoptive father, how can I hide it from you, Uncle Zhuo, you should be careful secretly, Eunuch Song has sent people to monitor you. "

Mo Yunzhu spoke very carefully, as if she was afraid of being overheard.

Zhuo Hongli's old face became even uglier, but then he smiled and said, "Okay, Uncle Zhuo got it. Don't worry, that Song Gou is just narrow-minded. You should take good care of yourself. I will come to see you another day."

"Okay, thank you Uncle Zhuo, Uncle Zhuo, you must be careful." Mo Yunzhu looked sincere and concerned.

Zhuo Hongli walked out with a smile, but as soon as he walked out the door, his old face immediately became gloomy.

I met Cheng Linhan standing under the eaves outside.

"Master Zhuo." Cheng Linhan saluted with his fists clasped.

Zhuo Hongli glanced at him and said, "Commander Cheng, don't think about things you shouldn't think about."

After saying that, he left, leaving Cheng Linhan with a confused expression.

Then he immediately went to ask Mo Yunzhu, and Mo Yunzhu laughed.

"This old guy is jealous. He thinks you must be in love with me since you told me such a secret thing secretly."

Cheng Linhan was dumbfounded: "This old beast is really shameless, does he really think you like him?"

"He has been successful throughout his life, so he must be very confident." Mo Yunzhu shrugged, "Have you arranged everything?"

Cheng Linhan nodded and said, "We will take action tonight at midnight."

A hint of ruthlessness flashed across Mo Yunzhu's eyes, and she nodded and said, "Be careful, I'll wait for your good news."

Cheng Linhan naturally agreed and explained more things to Chang Teng and Yuan Qing.

Mo Yunzhu got out of bed and walked to the window and sat down. There were a lot of messy things in front of the window, most of which were medicinal herbs and paper and pens.

She has been thinking about the formula and proportion of black powder these days, but to outsiders it looks like she is just preparing medicine.

At night, most streets were deserted, but there were a lot of dogs barking.

A gust of wind blew, and the dust on the ground flew. Suddenly, several black figures flew over the roof, then separated and disappeared into the night.

Uncle Zhou has been waiting in secret at Wanyao Pavilion for several hours.

When Zhuo Hongli came back today, he told him that Wanyao Pavilion was being monitored by Song Gou's men, and he wanted to find this person.

There had been people monitoring Wanyao Pavilion before, but they were all mediocre soldiers and generals, probably from the city defense army or the Ministry of Justice.

But after what Mo Yunzhu told him today, he knew that if Song Gou really suspected that he was secretly eliminating his people, he would definitely send experts to monitor and track him.

Then give him a blow and kill his people, and see if he dares to doubt him again!

Uncle Zhou was instructed by Zhuo Hongli early on to hide on the roof of the highest floor of Wanyao Pavilion.

Just after the hour of Xu, Uncle Zhou narrowed his eyes suddenly. He saw a black shadow enter Wanyao Pavilion and go towards Wanqing Garden.

Uncle Zhou sneered. It seemed that what his old master said was right. Song Gou really suspected him.

The black shadow hid in a corner of Wanqing Pavilion, keeping an eye on Zhuo Hongli's room.

Zhuo Hongli blew out the lamp at 11:00 p.m., but the shadow remained motionless until after midnight. The shadow probably thought that Zhuo Hongli would not go out again, so he quietly left.

Uncle Zhou immediately followed secretly.

The black shadow kept flying towards the east, and Uncle Zhou followed it all the time. He found that the black shadow was really powerful.

And this direction is getting closer and closer to the old house where Song Gou lived in the imperial capital.

Uncle Zhou was very angry. He had done so much for Chen Tianqi and Song Gou, but these two actually doubted him.
