189 Mutual suspicion

In the cabin, Zhao Wuyou and Mu Lu arranged the specific matters together.

After all, in Jianghu sects, even if there are a few really capable guys, they only do things for money. Now that I have exposed the Cao Gang, a large number of people will definitely be attracted.

He is now living in seclusion, and there are many guards around him, especially Banban, who has a vicious reputation. How can ordinary forces dare to fight against him?

As for the Cao Gang, although the gang leader is more difficult to find, in comparison, he has greater financial resources and is much easier to assassinate than himself.

Mu Lu has always been planning to avenge his parents, and now that Zhao Wuyou asked him to deal with the Cao Gang like this, he couldn't wait to do it immediately to avenge his parents.

Zhao Wuyou also left the cabin after the arrangement was completed. It was already dark outside. He thought about whether to go back to the mountain first, but after thinking about it, there were people of his own setting up near Yangjiao Mountain. Even if he went back,

Still sitting there, bored.

After much thought, he still felt that the emperor of the Fengming Empire was too ungrateful for treating him like this, and the hatred in his heart instantly turned into pressure to go to the palace.

Since he wanted to deal with himself, he would deal with him first, so he made up his mind and headed to the palace alone.

The queen's palace is still full of people, she is taking care of her children, and her attendants are always around.

Zhao Wuyou looked at it and felt a little bored, so he took the opportunity to go to other places in the palace. Anyway, he was bored and had enough cultivation now, so it was time to have some fun.

The main hall of the palace, inside and outside, up and down, was full of people. These people were planning something and seemed to be joking.

Being too far away, he could only take a look through the window, but he had no idea what they were talking about.

After thinking about it, Chu Nan smiled, broke off a branch, and threw it directly towards the closed door of the main hall.

Maybe it was because his cultivation was higher now than before, but he simply threw a branch, and this inconspicuous branch was stuck directly in the door, shocking everyone inside.

In an instant, a large crowd of people appeared in the entire hall. The generals took out their swords and flew up to the roof to detect the assassins in the palace.

After a while, the Crown Prince also left under the protection of everyone. After all, if this branch could be pierced from such a long distance, there would definitely be another sword that would also be pierced into the house.

Who can guarantee the safety of the Crown Prince? The best way is to escort him to the safest place so that he can continue to handle government affairs safely.

Soon, people were standing everywhere in the palace, and Zhao Wuyou, when no one was paying attention, deliberately flicked a branch that was ignited by his cultivation and threw it into the

Symbolizing the bedroom of the emperor of the Fengming Empire.

The emperor is not in this palace now, and there is nothing secret in it. Even if he burns it, nothing will happen, and it will not delay the important affairs of the court.

After escaping, Zhao Wuyou turned around again, looked at the palace with a smile, only glanced at it blankly, then turned and left.

He couldn't guarantee whether the branch would catch fire or how big it would be, but he could now be sure that the fire would definitely start.

And judging from the situation where people like them are now scattered in various directions, looking for themselves, this fire must not be small.

He returned to Yangjiao Mountain in the middle of the night, stood on the top of the mountain, and looked into the city in the direction of the imperial palace.

After a while, the fire lit up, and when he saw the light reaching into the sky, he felt relieved. This time should be enough for these bastards to be busy for a while, and he could also take a good rest.

Early the next morning, Zhao Wuyou just woke up and saw Wu Hai standing in front of his house, whispering to the little girl.

I don't know what's going on. Why do the two of them talk so much these days? Even after talking for so long, they still can't finish. What's there to say? It's really confusing.

Zhao Wuyou was hiding in the distance, thinking about what to eat, when Wu Hai saw him, so he quickly said goodbye to the little girl and hurried to him.

"Sir, don't you know? Yesterday, a mysterious man came to the palace and burned down the emperor's palace. This matter has gone viral in the capital."

"No way? Could it be that the weather was too dry, so the palace didn't pay attention, so it caught on fire, wasn't it burned down?" As the initiator, Zhao Wuyou habitually pretended to be confused.

However, his remarks were quickly refuted by Wu Hai:

"This is impossible. There is a large water tank outside the emperor's palace to prevent fire, but this time the palace was burned to the ground. It was simply horrible. It must have been burned from the inside, definitely not from the outside.

Anyway, to the outside world, it was said that the weather was too dry, so the fire accidentally started, but in fact, it was caused by someone, and I suspect it was someone inside the palace."

Seeing that his guess was so accurate, Zhao Wuyou couldn't interrupt him, so he had no choice but to hold him in his arms and say with appreciation:

"Then let's analyze what happened, why there was a fire in our palace, and why the emperor's palace was on fire from inside.

Since you, the director, are sure that it is burned from the inside, how did you determine it? Do you still want to see this kind of thing, or did you go and see it with your own eyes this morning?"

Wu Hai saw Zhao Wuyou asking the question, so he sat on the stool with a smile and began to analyze him according to his own logic.

"Look, these people knew that His Majesty the Emperor was not in the palace, so they chose His Majesty's palace to attack.

As for why it was burned from the inside to the outside, this is also well-founded. Although I did not go to the scene to see it, I heard someone say that once I analyzed it, I knew that someone must have set the fire inside."

Zhao Wuyou pretended to be attentive and looked at Wu Hai pretending quietly.

"The person who revealed to me that the emperor's palace was on fire said that they were on fire inside and found that the palace was burned when the pillars outside were fine. Combined with the fact that it was burned very clean, I can also judge that this palace must be on fire.

It was pushed from the inside out.

As for my conclusion that it was done by an insider, there is a certain basis for this. It is not a matter of judgment, and I will never make false claims."

As he talked, Wu Hai talked about the topic that Zhao Wuyou was most interested in, which was that besides His Highness the Crown Prince, there were actually several princes who still had thoughts about the throne.

Not only the queen's son, but also the other adult princes pose a great threat to the prince.

These people even formed an alliance against the prince. As long as it made the prince unhappy and uncomfortable, they would rush to do it.

But in front of his brothers, the prince was just a prince after all, and he was quite helpless towards his brothers who were almost the same as him.

Beating and scolding had no effect. As for letting these people leave the palace and establish an independent government, they even refused to listen to the prince's words.

Now they are gathering together one by one, and they are racking their brains in order to remove the prince.

Based on these problems, he took the risk to confront several adult princes in the capital.

"Am I right in my analysis, Mr. Wuyou, the ones who benefit the most from this matter will definitely be the adult princes.

Just imagine, your father is not here. As a result, the prince supervising the country did not even keep an eye on your father's palace. How embarrassing it would be to tell anyone.

If my guess is correct, these people will attack the prince in two days, and their attitude will definitely be extremely arrogant."

Zhao Wuyou deeply agreed. He really likes Wu Hai more and more now. It's not that his analysis is more reasonable, but that he has stayed with the prince for too long, and the way he analyzes problems will inevitably lead to confusion.

Following the prince's bias and preferences.

But this is good, it reminds me of what the prince is thinking, which is not bad either.

After a while, as lively participants, Qian Qianqiang and Xing Yuqiang also came to the mountain. They all looked sad and said unhappily:

"Hey, it's really unlucky. The two of us were in the palace yesterday, serving in the Hanlin Academy. Who would have known that a fire broke out in our palace. There was no other way, so we had no choice but to give up our comfort and rush to the palace.

But when we arrived, someone had already ordered that only the emperor’s palace should be burned. Just finish the burning and make sure it doesn’t burn to other places.”

On the side, Xing Yuqiang was also a little frightened, and he added awkwardly:

"Yesterday, I heard that someone secretly approached the palace with no hidden weapons, in order to attract the prince to make plans, to get the prince to leave the main hall, and then go to the luxuriously decorated emperor's bedroom in the palace.

But later, because the emperor's palace was locked, someone set it on fire inside, intending to give the prince a warning."

Soon, the three people started talking together, and they were all arguing with each other, just to explain whose judgment was correct.

Zhao Wuyou had an impulse and even wanted to say something. The culprit is himself, so you three should stop fighting.

However, he only thought about it in his mind. In reality, he did not dare to do it. After all, this matter could be big or small. If it was big, he would be killed, and if it was small, he would be skinned.

In the end, the three people who discussed it reached a consensus and agreed that it was the people in the palace who did it to get so many crown princes.

The opinions of the three of them actually represent the opinions of other people, big and small. Although those people don't say it openly, they actually think so in their hearts.

After all, if this matter comes out, it will be the most powerful for the adult prince who has already joined several people together. Other than that, it will not be of any benefit to others.

What kind of person would go and burn the emperor's palace when he has nothing to do? Does he think that his life will be short-lived?

Zhao Wuyou, who was sitting in a corner, remained silent.

He himself is said to be a person who is full of food, but he is very proud of himself. After all, if he vents his anger now, he will be very happy. As for who is cheaper or better, then he doesn't care at all.

The three of them saw that Zhao Wuyou was not very interested, and the latter actually listened to half of it before being called away by Bing Qing Yujie.

But it would be better if he left, so as not to prevent several people who now agree with each other from discussing the matter together.

Soon, the three people's eyes began to arrange the follow-up matters according to the prince's handling method.

On the other side, how will the princes who are under suspicion react?

The more the three of them chatted, the more excited they became, as if they were the most powerful people in the world.

In fact, the direction of this matter was the same as what they thought. The crown prince quickly arranged for people to collect clues secretly, intending to give some clues to the princes outside the palace.

However, he still has no clue, but he is being made things difficult by his younger brothers who come to the palace to investigate.

A prince in his early twenties looked at the prince sitting on the dragon throne with an angry face, and said angrily:

"My prince, are you still embarrassed to sit here now? I'm ashamed of you. You can't even protect your father's palace, but you still have the nerve to sit here."

The other person was not to be outdone, and treated the prince as a soft persimmon one by one.

As the prince, Feng Yutian naturally knew how to advance and retreat. When faced with the accusations from his brothers, he did not get angry, but continued to deal with his own affairs with an expressionless face.

It wasn't until noon that he put down the pen in his hand and looked tiredly at his younger brothers who came to accuse him.

"Have you all finished speaking? Is it time for me to say something? As the prince and the person responsible for supervising the country, I have been listening to your accusations all morning. Should I say something about myself now?

words."

Those few people watched the prince get angry, so they looked at him fiercely, as if they wanted to eat him up, but they did not stop the prince from speaking.

"You have all heard what happened last night. I was convening a meeting, and as a result, a master flew a branch into my hall.

What did he do for that? He knew that according to the customs and ancestral etiquette, if the main hall was attacked, we should move to the emperor's palace.

But I knew that the door of my father's palace was locked and there was no way to open it, so I moved to another hall to discuss the matter."

When he finished speaking, he glanced viciously at the brothers standing in front of him.

"Not a moment after I moved to the side of the main hall, my father's palace caught fire. Isn't this a conspiracy? Tell me. What should I think about this matter?"

Several people looked at each other, and they also heard the quarrel in their words. They felt that the prince was doubting his brothers.

"Then what does the prince mean? Is it possible that someone wants to murder the prince, or deliberately burns down the father's palace? Is it possible that there are still such bold people in this world?"

"Yes, Prince, you don't have to look at me like this. I'm not that cool. My father also knows about this. You shouldn't point your finger at your own brother."

"..."

When the prince heard these people's arguments, his suspicions became more serious.
