Once Prince Qian dies, even though he is not an important prince, it will inevitably affect the diplomacy between the two countries.
It was also a huge pressure for the prince.
Zhao Xiaole looked at the other person, waiting for his answer.
Prince Qianguo chuckled lightly, "I have long heard that the Marquis of Zhenguo is extremely smart, but when I saw him today, he was nothing more than that!"
"Even if you give me five million taels of silver, so what? Can you really buy my life?"
"Others can betray the country, but I can't. I'm afraid if I announce my withdrawal from the race, the killers of Qianguo will come and take my life right away!"
"What use does silver have to me?"
"Please!"
Prince Qian picked up the brush again and started writing.
He no longer raised his head to look at the two of them.
Zhao Xiaole looked at Princess Loulan and said, "In that case, let's say goodbye."
Zhao Xiaole and Princess Loulan stood up and left. Prince Qian didn't stop writing until they walked out of the courtyard.
First he sighed.
"Someone is coming!"
In the entire courtyard, the only servant ran over. Even when facing the prince of Qian Kingdom, he kept a gloomy expression.
"What are your orders, Your Highness?"
Prince Qian paused and said, "Take out these papers and replace them with a new pile of papers!"
"yes!"
The servant came forward and took away the finished pages. After a while, a new pile of pages was delivered.
After Prince Qian sat quietly for a while, he picked up his brush again and started writing day after day.
However, this time Prince Qian's writing was smoother and his writing was much rounder.
…
Outside the courtyard.
Seeing that Princess Loulan came out safely, Loulan's guards breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Xiaole and Princess Loulan boarded the carriage again. Under the guidance of the driver, the carriage turned around and drove out of the alley.
Princess Loulan, who had been silent until she left the alley, asked: "What does the Marquis think of this person?"
"The suspicion is high."
"Why do you think so? In my opinion, everything the Prince of Qian Kingdom did was because he was forced to do nothing. Is this still suspicious?" Princess Loulan was puzzled.
When she was in the courtyard, she already felt the strange atmosphere.
Therefore, he never spoke.
It wasn't until I left that place that I breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Xiaole opened his eyes, "My intuition told me something was wrong, but I didn't find anything."
"Why don't we keep watching? After the next person who dies appears, the situation will basically become clear."
Princess Loulan couldn't help but shrink her pupils, "You mean, someone will continue to die?"
"Yes, the murderer is so secretive that so many people can't find the clues and can only continue to wait for the dead man." Zhao Xiaole nodded,
"Others also know this very well. The murderer wants to become prime minister. In addition to hiding himself, he will also find ways to frame the suspicion on others."
Princess Loulan was still puzzled, "Why would he do this? If no one can find the culprit, His Highness the Crown Prince will set up examination questions. Isn't that bad? Why would he take the risk to do such a thing?"
"It's very simple. If someone discovers his identity but doesn't announce it and waits until the end of the assessment to produce evidence, then he will definitely die without a burial place." Zhao Xiaole explained,
"So, he must spare no effort to frame others to confuse everyone's attention, and at the same time kill everyone who may find out about him. Only then can he get away with it!"
After hearing this, Princess Loulan basically understood.
After all, the most complicated thing is the human heart.
The most dangerous thing is the human heart.
"So, who do you think is the least likely to be the murderer? Who is the most likely person to die next?" Princess Loulan thought for a while and asked.
In fact, after simple elimination, the murderer can be easily identified within a few people.
Qin Sining and Princess Loulan are eliminated first, then there are only six people left.
Wang Fugui is young and foolish, so it is unlikely that he will, so there will only be five people left, but Zhao Xiaole will not think like this.
Because darkness under the lamp often becomes a loophole in thinking.
"I don't know." Zhao Xiaole shook his head and said.
Princess Loulan immediately sneered, "Master Hou, you won't even doubt me, right? I and you have never left each other."
"I'm not sure about this. If His Highness is really inseparable from me, I would be happy for you." Zhao Xiaole joked.
Hearing this, Princess Loulan snorted coldly and stopped talking.
The atmosphere between the two was actually more ambiguous.
The carriage finally arrived at the Hou Mansion.
After Princess Loulan got off the bus, Zhao Xiaole got on the horse again and said, "Your Highness, I have to go to the palace. Please stay in the palace and don't go out without authorization. I will play with Your Highness tomorrow."
Princess Loulan nodded, "If there is any new news, please inform me in advance!"
"Of course!"
Zhao Xiaole bowed his hand, and after Princess Loulan entered the Marquis' Mansion, he rode his horse to the palace alone.
…
Yihongyuan.
Manying held a girl in his arms, and wine and delicacies were passed from the girl's hands to his mouth from time to time.
For Man Ying, who has been in poverty for a long time.
Maybe now is the peak of life.
The fat little Wang Fugui sat across from him and looked at him angrily, "Old man, why don't you call me two girls?"
Manying chewed something and said vaguely: "Little fat man, you are still too young. If you hurt your body too early, you will be disabled in the future!"
Wang Fugui said disdainfully: "That's nonsense. All you spent here is my money. Whatever I want, you can get it!"
Manying chuckled, "Little fat man, you don't want to be the prime minister anymore? If you become the prime minister, doesn't your father want to marry you a tenth wife? I can guarantee that she will definitely be prettier than these girls!"
Wang Fugui said, "I don't care about that, I want a girl now! If you don't give me a girl, we won't be allies in the future!"
"Wait a minute, who do you think is coming?" Man Ying looked out the door, and the fat man Wang Fugui was stunned and looked over.
Although the man was alone and had changed his clothes, Man Ying recognized the two iron balls in his hands at a glance.
The person who came was none other than King Tie Guan.
"I didn't expect that a powerful and courageous king, a powerful figure in the world, would come to the brothel. What a pity!"
Manying sighed.
The little fat man's face was full of disdain, "What's the point? Aren't we, the future prime ministers, also here to cheat on the brothel?"
Man Ying scolded: "You know nothing, how dare you not find a woman? Why go to a brothel?"
"There must be an ulterior motive. Just wait here and I'll go take a look. Maybe something good will happen!"
Normally, Wang Fugui would be happy, but this time he frowned and said, "I feel better not to go."
Manying sneered: "Little fat man, other people's lives are not as good as yours. Wealth and honor are always found in danger."
After saying that, Manying left Wang Fugui and followed him alone.
