Go to the capital and tell the emperor when the time comes. I don’t want to hear it! Arrange new accommodation for me immediately.”
Qian Yeming's voice was not loud, but it was extremely majestic and chilling. It was clearly a hot day. After hearing his voice, the prefect and the governor who were kneeling on the ground shuddered unconsciously.
"Yes, yes, yes! I will make arrangements immediately. If Your Highness the Crown Prince does not abandon you, please return to the Governor's Mansion. I will definitely send someone to protect Your Highness the Crown Prince."
"Master Zhu, you'd better keep your word. If we hadn't been more cautious and left beforehand today, we would have been assassinated by two groups of assassins. If you and Master Pang don't want to die a horrible death, you'd better protect us before the people from the capital arrive. Maybe His Royal Highness will eventually calm down and punish you for failing to protect us."
"Yes, yes, yes! Thank you, Princess, for your advice. Please, Your Highness, please go to the Governor's Mansion with me, Princess!"
After that, he said to the officers and soldiers below: "Come here, arrest all these assassins!"
“Wait!”
"Crown Princess, what are you doing..."
"It's not that I don't trust the abilities of the prefect and the governor, but these matters are of great importance. Your Highness the Crown Prince should summon several of them for personal interrogation. Moreover, if these people die at the hands of Lord Zhu, then it may not be a matter of inadequate protection on your part."
Murong Xiao casually pointed at a few men in black, including the Ghost Face leader, and said to Zhu Sui, "The Crown Prince wants these men. You can arrest and interrogate the rest. Sir Zhu, I hope that the mastermind behind this is the same person we interrogate! I also hope that all of your men in black won't be dead by then."
After saying that, Murong Xiao sneered and helped Qian Yeming away.
Looking at Murong Xiao's proud and arrogant look, Zhu Sui and Pang Mo, who were originally nodding and bowing, looked at each other and saw a hint of solemnity in each other's eyes.
Murong Xiao was Murong Qingyu's daughter, raised in the palm of her hand and now the Crown Princess. Her personality was overbearing and difficult to get along with. Her words just now, both overtly and covertly, seemed to have already indiscriminately attributed them to the same group as partners in the Crown Prince's assassination.
Although they were indeed partners, they did not have any leverage over the prince. Only Murong Xiao, the daughter of the arrogant Prince of Zhennan, could say such slander against an imperial official.
In the dungeon of the prefectural government office, more than ten men in black were chained. They were neatly dressed and had not been tortured yet.
Zhu Sui and Pang Mo dismissed everyone except two trusted men, and then released the men in black one after another. They waited anxiously until the men in black could speak.
"What's wrong with you guys? Who were those people who started the fight with you?"
The anesthetic on the man in black seemed to have not worn off yet, and his words were a little unclear: "Qian Yeyao! Tell the master that it was Qian Yeyao who did it!"
"What's going on?"
"Qian Yeyao somehow learned of our plan and sent a group of people dressed exactly like us to assassinate Qian Yeming. Unfortunately, Qian Yeming was cunning and hid himself. They couldn't find us, so they deliberately injured us and handed us over to Qian Yeming."
"So none of them were injured?" Zhu Sui asked in disbelief.
"They dress up just like us, making us kill each other, but they can tell their own people apart.
