Rebirth of Wufu Jin

Chapter 210
In the prison of Dali Temple, two assassins are being interrogated.

"Are you convicted?" the servant of the Ministry of Punishment asked sharply.

One of the assassins replied: "I don't know what the little one is guilty of?"

"Hmph! How dare you argue!" The servant of the Ministry of Punishment snorted coldly, "Assassinating the emperor is a serious crime against the nine clans! If the two of you confess to the other sins of the previous Ming Dynasty, maybe I can give you a lighter sentence! If you insist on covering up, It will only let you die without a place to bury you!"

The two assassins looked at each other, and one of them replied: "You little one doesn't know anything! What a remnant of the past!"

"That's right! I really don't know anything." Another assassin followed suit and pretended to be crazy.

The servant of the Ministry of Punishment laughed back angrily: "Hehe... Okay... Since you are so stubborn, don't blame me for using torture! Come on, torture them both!"

Immediately, a yamen servant came forward, tied up the two of them, and prepared to execute them.

Seeing this situation, the two assassins turned pale with fright, and one of them exclaimed: "Forgive me—my lord, spare me!"

Hearing the sound of begging for mercy, the servant of the criminal department gave the two of them a cold look: "I'll give you one last chance, let's talk."

One of them said with a trembling voice: "My lord, the younger one is just using money to do things. As for where the remnants of the previous dynasty are hiding, the younger one really doesn't know. The two of us are not remnants of the past, just running errands on the rivers and lakes." That's all."

Another person also quickly echoed: "Yes, my lord, the younger ones are all paid for their affairs, and the other younger ones really don't know."

Hearing this, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment frowned slightly, and glanced at the two of them coldly: "If that's the case, then continue with the punishment!"

"My lord—" the two assassins were terrified and wailed hastily.

The servant of the punishment department waved his hand to signal the yamen servant to step forward and continue to execute the punishment.

After several times of persecution, one of them couldn't bear it anymore, and confessed crying, "Master, spare your life! The little ones are all recruited! The little one knows his mistake, please let the big one spare the little one!"

The servant of the Ministry of Punishment squinted his eyes at the man, and asked in a deep voice: "Tell me, where are the remaining evils in front of you behind your back!"

"I really don't know about the remnants of the Ming Dynasty! The person who asked us to do things lives in a ruined temple in the western outskirts of the city. He usually doesn't show up. He only returns to the ruined temple on the fifth, fifteenth, and 25th of every month." Come here. Unless that person takes the initiative to come to the door, the little ones won’t see him at all.” The person explained while crying.

"The western outskirts of the city?" The minister of punishment frowned and thought for a moment, "Do you ever know his name?"

"You guys don't know." The two assassins shook their heads.

The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment then asked a few more questions, and then decided to send someone to guard the ruined temple in the western outskirts of the city. After the arrangements were made, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice waved his hand at the yamen servant, "Let's detain these two people first."

At this moment in Prince Heng's mansion, Wanyue received a message from Yueyue Minglou Tea Garden Wang's shopkeeper. After carefully reading the contents of the letter, her beautiful eyebrows gradually twitched, and she lowered her eyes and fell into deep thought.

"Fu Jin, what's the matter with you?" Yue Wen who was waiting on the side asked with concern.

"It's okay." Wanyue raised her head slowly, smiling sweetly, "I'm fine, I just remembered something suddenly."

Seeing this, Yuewen wisely didn't pursue her further.

The news revealed in this letter from shopkeeper Wang made Wanyue think deeply.

According to the information provided by Shopkeeper Wang's letter, the two assassins were bought by someone in a ruined temple in the western outskirts of the city, and the person who bought them turned out to be the Crown Prince's people!

This is something Wanyue didn't expect. After all, the crown prince was deposed by the emperor a long time ago, not to mention that the crown prince is safe now, and the emperor treats him as usual. How can he still do this?

Why did the prince let his personal servants buy the three religions of the world to assassinate the emperor?Does he want to rebel?

In the previous life, the crown prince also forced the palace to rebel with Suo'etu, and the emperor decided to abolish the crown prince at that time.

Thinking of this for a while, Wanyue felt a little messed up in her head, and rubbed her temples involuntarily.

Seeing this, Yue Wen quickly poured a cup of tea and served it to Wan Yue, worried: "Fu Jin, what's the matter with you? Are you in any trouble?"

Wanyue shook her head: "I'm fine, nothing serious. Go to the front yard and call the prince, and tell him that I have something to discuss with him."

Yuewen answered yes, then turned and left.

In the study room, Yin Qi was sitting at the desk dealing with official documents.

"My lord." Yue Wen knocked on the wooden door of the study and called out from the door.

Yin Qi stopped writing, glanced at the door suspiciously, saw that it was Yue Wen, and asked, "What can you do with me?"

Yue Wen raised her eyebrows, and replied flatly: "Fu Jin said that he has something important to discuss with the prince, and he hopes that the prince will move to Xinuang Pavilion."

Yinqi was a little surprised, but didn't make any guesses, nodded and agreed: "Okay, you go back first, I'll go right away."

After Yue Wen left, Yin Qi got up and left the study.

When he arrived at Xinuange, Wanyue was sitting on a chair, holding a cup of hot tea quietly sipping.

Seeing Yinqi coming in, Wanyue stood up and responded, "The prince is here."

Yin Qi nodded, and sat down on a round stool beside him: "Why is Fujin looking for this king?"

Wanyue picked up the letter given to her by shopkeeper Wang on the table with some worries, handed it to Yinqi, and said, "My lord, please read the contents of this letter."

Yinqi looked at Wanyue suspiciously for a while, then reached out to take the letter.He quickly browsed through the entire letter, and then raised his eyes to look at Wanyue: "These are all nonsense made by the shopkeeper Wang?"

"I also hope it's a fake, but..." Wanyue sighed, "I always feel that the prince seems to have something to plot."

Yinqi frowned his thick black sword eyebrows, pondered for a while, and said, "No matter what the prince has in mind, we just need to strengthen our precautions. Maybe someone wants to blame the prince for this matter."

But Wanyue doesn't quite agree with this, after all, the prince in the previous life really conspired against her!
Seeing that Yinqi didn't take this matter to heart, Wanyue couldn't help persuading her: "My lord, I think we might as well be more careful."

Yin Qi frowned, "Let's wait and see before making a decision. I heard that Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice are also trying the two assassins. I believe there will be a result soon."

Wanyue pursed her lower lip lightly, as long as she hesitated to speak, she took another look at Yinqi.

In the early morning of the next day, just before dawn, the servants sent by the Minister of Criminal Affairs actually caught a sneaky person in a ruined temple in the western outskirts of the city. However, the Minister of Criminal Affairs was shocked when he saw this person, because this person was a Xiao Anzi, the capable eunuch by the prince's side!

After being identified by the two assassins earlier, the one who asked them to assassinate the emperor was really Xiao Anzi, since the matter is serious, the minister of punishment did not dare to neglect, so he hurried into the palace and asked for an order to report to the emperor.
