Chapter 199 Good Luck Today
Today, he happened to meet Governor Li as he was sending off his family members. After a conversation with Tiezhu, Zhao Yushu finally understood what was hiding under the muddy waters in the southeast. Things actually came back to his original goal of coming to Jiangning, which was to kill Wang Shaolin, and if things went well, he could kill his father and Zhang Chun as well.
As for such a small matter as breaking through the seven-story building, it seems to have become not difficult when the BOSS guarding the bottom of the level has surrendered in advance. Since the eldest brother wants to make a name for himself, then he should make a name for himself.
As for how the poor prince will eventually be sent back by the big guys, I can’t imagine it yet, but it has nothing to do with me anymore, I can just sit back and watch the show.
The only thing I am curious about is whether Li Taishou’s ship will go north or south after leaving the river.
He returned to the Taoist temple with little interest. He planned to meet with the princess tomorrow and tell her clearly that he didn't want to play with her anymore and would leave after the game. You don't need to talk to me about the subsequent profit sharing. Anyway, getting me to play together was just a cover.
People who play power games have dirty hearts!
The princess came to see him first.
At dawn, the princess's carriage stopped in front of the Taoist temple.
But Zhao Yushu was not surprised. The second-in-command Duan Tiezhu was Prince Fu's man, so it was understandable that he picked out the conversation between them and reported it to the princess.
Sitting in the princess's carriage, Zhao Yushu felt indescribable awkwardness. No matter how big the carriage was, it was still a carriage, especially in feudal society where regulations were strictly linked to social classes, and even a carriage with the maximum capacity was still pitifully cramped.
Zhao Yushu felt very uncomfortable sitting opposite the princess.
"What are you afraid of?" The princess despised him even more. Although this man was really smart and figured out the overall situation so quickly and even killed Wang Xiu, the prince's only half-friend in Jiangning, why did she feel so uncomfortable every time she saw him?
It must be because he is from the academy.
"Where are we going?" Zhao Yushu moved his butt and was about to squat.
"Sell you."
The princess actually joked? Although she didn't laugh, Zhao Yushu was still surprised.
Sell me? If there wasn't a great monk from the seventh heaven driving a carriage outside, I, Old Zhao, would have slapped him to avenge the beating I got in jail first.
But with her small body, where should I hit her with this slap? If I hit her anywhere, she would probably be half dead.
"I say, when you asked me out, did you immediately tell the prince about our meeting?"
The princess stared into his eyes and said, "What else? The academy only wants to share the money and doesn't want to take any risks?"
Zhao Yushu curled his lips and said, "Let the prince think that we are all weak, and be scared to death of him, and be forced to unite. Then he will be complacent and can't help it when he is slightly frustrated. Is Wang Yan so brave?"
The princess sighed: "I really didn't expect that he would torture Wang Yan. I just wanted to force him to do something stupid, but I didn't expect him to be so cruel."
"Did you send someone to kill Wang Yan?" Zhao Yushu knew that it was Zhang Chun who did it, but it didn't stop him from trying to find out. What if Prince Fu was also related to the underworld? Although this possibility was very small.
The princess shook her head and said, "This is why I came to you today. Our plan is to kill Wang Yan if we have to, but the assassin is definitely not one of ours, and it seems you don't know that either."
This is strange. Wang Xiu and Zhang Chun are both the prince's men on the surface, but Wang Xiu secretly asked Zhang Chun to kill Wang Yan, forcing the prince to prepare to take action against Prefect Li. So who on earth was instructing Wang Xiu?
How come one side is missed?
"What are you thinking about?" the princess asked, seeing that he was frowning.
"I wonder, besides you, Duke Yue, who else is in Wangjiang Tower?"
"They are all small figures. If you must count, there is also your academy."
"No, no, these people are not capable of bribing the Duke of Yue to let the assassin in."
The princess tightened her hands in her sleeves slightly. She didn't like unexpected changes. The last time it was the Dongdu Thief Bai Yutang who had been missing until now, and this time it was the secret instigator.
Now that the middleman Wang Xiu is dead, Zhang Chun, the executor, may not even know the person behind the scenes.
"I say, if there is nothing else, let's just say goodbye. I will go back to Dongdu after I finish fighting the seventh floor in two days."
"One last question. Answer it and you can leave."
This domineering attitude is really annoying.
"Ask as you like." Zhao Yushu was a little impatient.
"Why is he called Li Gui?"
"what?"
"Why do you call yourself the White Whirlwind Li? Who is this person?"
Zhao Yushu was stunned.
The princess didn't get an answer, so Zhao Yushu just said it was boring and left, which made the monk driving the carriage laugh.
Zhao Yushu couldn't laugh. He would be unhappy as long as he couldn't find the mastermind behind Wang Yan's murder.
Judging from the motive, the killing of Wang Yan was definitely aimed at the crown prince, and Duke Yue is the biggest suspect.
Li Tong made it clear that it was not them. Although these two people were enemies, they should not lie about this because there was no need.
Could it be someone behind Li Taishou? Then there is no need for them to hide it.
Zhao Yushu thought about all the forces, but couldn't think of any one that was important enough. If he had to say one, Jiangning Academy?
Come on, Jiangning Academy is different from Baima Academy. Baima Academy has a place specifically for training monks, while Jiangning Academy is a pure academy, just like Nanyang Academy. Moreover, if Master Zheng’s cowardly look was an act, everyone deserves to be deceived with such acting skills.
It is even more impossible for the old priest. He now lies at home every day waiting for retirement to go back to farm and fish, and he doesn't even go to the academy.
Everyone in this academy is so Buddhist.
Wait, one by one?
Zhao Yushu stood there in a daze. He seemed to have fallen into a misconception. Who said that people in the same force would communicate with each other and be of one mind?
After figuring this out, the identity of the suspect becomes clear. Who else could he be who can get along with Wang Xiutong, want to get the crown prince, and have influence in the Duke of Yue's Mansion?
Wang Shaolin, you little cutie, I really underestimated you. What did you want to do by doing this? To prove your ability to your father? Or were you scared of yourself and wanted to advance the plot as quickly as possible so that you could finish the job and leave Jiangning?
Zhao Yushu estimated that Duke Yue had also guessed it, but Zhang Chun actually killed a fourth-level guest official of the Duke's Mansion. If this matter were to become public, few cultivators would dare to be guests in your mansion again. The best way for Duke Yue would be to keep it secret as much as possible, and then look for a scapegoat or, if he was lucky, just kill the real assassin and leave no evidence.
Wang Shaolin and Wang Xiu, one openly and one secretly, controlled most of the southeast, so it would not be difficult for them to join forces to do something. However, Wang Xiu was adorably stupid and could not see the situation clearly. He wanted to accept Wang Shaolin's benefits and then curry favor with the prince to get rid of Duke Yue in one fell swoop. Maybe he would be able to make further progress in Jiangning in the future.
Therefore, the Duke of Yue had to kill him, but he could not use his own people, so he asked Prince Fu's people to do it.
All the problems are clear now. The situation in Jiangning is now clear. It all depends on when Governor Li dies, and then what means this group of people will use to defeat the prince and send him back to Xijing.
Good luck today, everything will be safe and sound.
