Luo Hou sighed inwardly, the matter had reached the emperor so quickly. Fortunately, he ordered his assassins to take action. It seemed that they had succeeded, but what about the servants around him?
It’s a pity that I couldn’t send them away earlier. I wish I knew what to say and what not to say.
A glance passed, and the servants responded silently, "Understood."
"So that's how it is. If that's the case, I can't disobey your orders. Come with me!"
"We know the way. My Lord, you can go slowly and we won't wait."
They dare not follow slowly
This sentence made Luo Hou stare blankly in anger. He really thought he was in his own house and even knew the way. He treated the hand order as a chicken feather arrow, but he couldn't object at this time.
I watched them run to the room, wishing they had succeeded. I even regretted that I shouldn't have treated him yesterday. Letting him die was the best outcome, and I shouldn't have cared about the father-son relationship.
Suddenly, a mumbling sound was heard from inside the house.
Captain Wu was worried, so he led his men to kick open the door and rush in.
Just then, a masked man covered Luo Tianhao's mouth, grabbed his hand, and the dagger in his hand had already stabbed him in the heart.
"stop!"
Captain Wu raised his knife and chopped at the man.
"Catch Him"
When the assassin saw everyone coming in, he took another look at the dagger stuck in Luo Tianhao's heart. It was inserted very deep into his heart, and there was no possibility of survival.
He failed to make it look like he committed suicide as his master requested, but he was still silenced.
Instead of confronting Captain Wu head-on, he turned over and jumped out of the window to escape.
Luo Hou heard the noise from behind and ran in. He was dissatisfied when he saw that the facts were not as he wished, but he always had to pretend in front of others.
"Hao'er, how are you? Your father is late!"
He walked up to Luo Tianhao, shouting and shaking him, hoping that he would die quickly, without giving him a chance to speak.
"It must be that thief who came to harm you! Why don't you go and catch that thief?"
Not only did he push the blame of the murder onto the fictitious thief, but he also arranged things for Captain Wu and the others.
"That thief has come to harm my son time and time again. What do you do for a living? Why don't you arrest him? If Hao'er dies, you will be held responsible."
"Oh, I wonder what all those assassins and guards in the mansion are doing. We came here last night but were stopped as soon as we entered the yard."
"You~"
If you want to put the blame on them, it depends on whether they are willing or not.
"Please, Lord Marquis, please call the court physician. As a father, you saw your son injured but didn't go to get a doctor, nor did you send the palace guards to hunt down the culprit. Instead, you are making a scene here. This is not the style of a Lord Marquis.
Please stand up so we can check."
"Forgive me, I was just so worried I forgot."
He turned around and ordered someone to call a doctor, and asked the guards to search for the thief.
But he never left and didn't let anyone touch Luo Tianhao's body.
Seeing Luo Tianhao mumbling, he tried to take something from his body, but he couldn't move or explain clearly.
Captain Wu reiterated
"Please, sir, let us check the situation. Otherwise, I will report the emperor for obstructing public affairs."
Having said that, regardless of whether he agreed or not, he forcibly pulled the man up and threw him next to his colleagues behind him.
"Comfort Lord Luo, and ask where all the servants around Lord Luo have gone?"
"How dare you do that!"
"Please forgive me, my Lord. I was just trying to see what the prince wanted to say. Could it be that my Lord doesn't want to know or doesn't want him to say it?"
"You~"
Luo Hou really couldn't stop him anymore, and he just hated that he died too slowly.
Captain Wu put his ear close to Luo Tianhao's and heard vaguely,
"My father killed me~The confession is here..."
His right hand was shaking as he tried to reach into his pocket, but he couldn't lift it.
Captain Wu felt around and pulled out four pages of blood-soaked paper from his lapel.
The first one simply said that the sin was so serious that I couldn’t face it.
The last three pages densely documented when he started, how his parents helped him clean up the mess, helped him find someone, and why he built the underground palace later.
Including several people in his small group, who helped him find suitable people, who sent a few, and the strongholds outside, including Zhang Zitong, who killed many people and buried them in the yard.
He also told how Luo Hou had accumulated huge wealth, how he had his men disguised as bandits, killed countless civilians and wealthy businessmen, and how he deliberately let the enemy into the city in order to rob money, resulting in the loss of a large number of soldiers and civilians.
After reading it, Captain Wu's heart was filled with great emotion.
[I see. No wonder Luo Hou was determined to stop their search, and no wonder he even wanted to kill his only son. His crimes are enough to confiscate his family and exterminate his clan.]
He was not surprised at all that it was Luo Hou who ordered the action, as he had known about it from the beginning, but he had to keep the things in his hands.
Without making a sound, he put the evidence into his arms.
It turned out that Luo Tianhao was persuaded by Luo Hou to write something similar to a suicide note. Originally, he was only asked to write those eight words, but due to the influence of suggestion, he thought that if he only wrote those few words, he could not write out the specific crimes. After finishing the first one, he continued to write down the crimes in detail.
It just so happened that all his subordinates had been called away, so no one knew what he wrote.
Just as he finished writing, the assassin came in. He recognized this man as the assassin beside his father. When he saw him walking towards him with a dagger, he knew that he was here to kill him.
Although I became a little obsessed by the suggestion and only thought about completing the instructions, I was not really so stupid that I didn't understand anything.
Put away the evidence and say to that person,
"Father wants you to kill me?"
"I was just following orders. I apologize, Your Highness."
"Oh, what a pity I couldn't go to court to confess my guilt!"
"There is no chance anymore. I just hope that the prince can be an ordinary person in his next life!"
