Chapter 581 I can’t stand this anger!
Xiao Xixi asked about the assassination.
She was in the teahouse at the time and had no idea what was going on in the city wall.
Luo Qinghan said calmly: "An assassin rushed into the tower and tried to kill my father. He was unable to dodge and was accidentally stabbed in the chest."
Xiao Xixi asked: "Is the emperor seriously injured?"
"The wound doesn't look deep, but a lot of blood was lost. The doctor said it's not fatal, but it needs to be well taken care of."
Xiao Xixi was very curious: "Who do you think is the mastermind behind this?"
Luo Qinghan analyzed slowly and calmly.
“When my father was assassinated, the guards who were originally guarding the tower disappeared.
This shows that the mastermind behind the scenes had been prepared and had transferred the guards near the city wall away in advance.
Anyone who can interfere with the mobilization of the imperial guards is definitely not an ordinary person.
Logically speaking, this person possesses such profound strength that he should be able to make the assassination plan more perfect.
But there are many loopholes in today's assassination.
There are only two reasons why this happens:
One is that the other party did it on purpose, and the other is that the other party has limited time.
If it is the former, it means that the assassination was just an illusion and the other party actually has other intentions.
If it is the latter, it means that the other party is in a very bad situation and does not have much time to plan a more thorough assassination plan. What's more, perhaps this assassination was just a spur-of-the-moment decision made by the other party. "
Xiao Xixi couldn't help but think of someone: "Could it be that King Xiling did this?"
Prince Xiling has been planning for many years to fight for the throne, so he certainly has the strength, but he is now poisoned and his time is running out.
Given his personality, he will definitely not sit still and wait for death.
He will most likely make a desperate attempt to seize the throne within the last three months.
Luo Qinghan said, "I think it's more likely that Qin Zhong did it."
Xiao Xixi: "Why do you think so?"
"I have spies in Shengjing City. According to their reports, the Qin family has been having a hard time recently.
Especially Queen Qin, not only was her power to manage the harem taken away, but she was also repeatedly reprimanded by the emperor, causing her to lose face in the harem.
Those members of the Qin family who hold official positions in the court have also been demoted recently.
Anyone with eyes can feel the emperor's suppression of the Qin family.
If this trend continues, the Qin family will soon decline.
Qin Zhong is impatient and impulsive. He certainly doesn't want to see the Qin family fail.
It just so happened that he had military power in his hands and felt confident. Coupled with new and old grudges, it was easy for him to develop murderous intentions towards the emperor.
The scariest thing in the world is not a madman, but a madman with a knife in his hand."
In her previous life, Xiao Xixi was stabbed to death by a madman with a knife.
She has a deep understanding of this.
"It's really scary."
Luo Qinghan: "Who is your third brother working for?"
Xiao Xixi shook her head: "I don't know."
Luo Qinghan said meaningfully: "I hope his target is not Qin Zhong."
…
When Pei Qianhuo returned to the Qin family, he noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere there.
He asked the housekeeper, where is Mr. Qin?
The housekeeper hesitated for a moment before saying, "The Second Master is discussing matters with someone in the study."
Pei Qianhuo went to the study immediately.
When he walked into the study, he happened to hear Qin Zhongzai saying, "I have already had the guards near the tower moved away, why haven't you killed the emperor yet? You are a bunch of good-for-nothings, you are useless!"
Pei Qianhuo's heart skipped a beat.
The person who planned this assassination was actually Qin Zhong!
In addition to Qin Zhong, there were three other generals in the study.
The three of them knelt on the ground with their heads lowered, looking pitiful as if they had done something wrong and dared not talk back.
Qin Chong was furious and wanted to curse again, but was stopped by Pei Qianhuo.
"Second Master, why didn't you tell me in advance about such an important matter as assassinating the emperor?"
Qin Chong was already angry, and now that he was interrupted, he became even angrier.
He sneered, "Who do you think you are? Why should I report to you when I do something?!"
Pei Qianhuo was very dissatisfied with his attitude, but still maintained his calm.
"We agreed in advance, and everything went according to plan.
It is not even the right time to take action yet, yet you sent people to assassinate the emperor without even giving any notice, and even mobilized the imperial guards without authorization.
Do you know that doing this would be equivalent to exposing our spies among the guards?
Without this important chess piece, our subsequent plans will be disrupted.
You may just be impulsive at the moment, but your momentary impulsiveness affects the overall situation!"
Qin Zhong was so angry and embarrassed by what he said that he spoke viciously.
"You only care about the overall situation. You don't know how much my sister has suffered in the palace, nor how much humiliation our family has suffered recently!
The knife hasn't fallen on your heads, so you don't feel any pain. Naturally, you can say with a clear conscience that a little impatience will ruin a big plan. But I can't do that!
I can’t stand this anger!”
Pei Qianhuo was so angry that he laughed: "So you planned this assassination with so many mistakes? Not only did the emperor not die, but all our people were killed."
Qin Zhong: "At least the emperor was injured. That blow was enough to make him suffer for a long time. As long as I see him suffer, I feel happy!"
Pei Qianhuo had nothing to say.
The person he first set his sights on was actually Qin Lie.
Qin Lie is a man of ideas and means, and is a good partner.
Unfortunately, Qin Lie died young.
Pei Qianhuo had no choice but to choose Qin Zhong as the target of the mission, but he didn't expect Qin Zhong to be so impulsive and do things without considering the consequences, just for the sake of momentary pleasure.
Now that he has caused such a big mess, Qin Zhong not only has no intention of repenting, but he is also making excuses.
Pei Qianhuo had only one sentence in his mind.
You can't prop up a wall with mud!
If he had known that Qin Zhong was such a person, he should not have chosen Qin Zhong in the first place.
He disliked Qin Zhong for being too stupid, but in fact, Qin Zhong also disliked him for being too troublesome.
Qin Zhong actually didn't like dealing with advisers. The twists and turns in the advisers' minds made him feel headache and irritated.
Especially people like Pei Qianhuo, whose origins are unknown, make him feel more alert.
Although his eldest brother had told him to listen more to Pei Qianhuo before his death, he didn't like being controlled by others.
In the past, he could listen to his elder brother because he was his real brother.
But who does Pei Qianhuo think he is?
Why should he listen to Pei Qianhuo? !
Just now, he was reprimanded by Pei Qianhuo in front of his subordinates. He was very annoyed and felt that this person took himself too seriously. How dare he point fingers at him? !
Pei Qianhuo suppressed his anger and asked, "Have you discussed this matter with King Xiling?"
Qin Zhong sneered: "King Xiling is almost dead, he can't even protect himself, why would I discuss this with him!"
Pei Qianhuo wanted to say something else, but Qin Zhong spoke to him impatiently.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Go back to your room. I'll let you know if I need you. If I'm not looking for you, don't hang around in front of me. It's annoying!"
