Chapter 703 Luo Shuhuan's Plan
"What kind of magic potion did the second brother give Jiang Youzhen that made him want to help him like this?" The fourth prince was indignant. What was wrong with him?
"Before I contacted him, he didn't even reply. Now he is helping the Second Brother with all his might. Could it be that he really wants to turn against the Second Brother?"
The Fourth Prince became more and more displeased the more he thought about it. How could the Second Prince be any good, being sarcastic all day long and having no support from outside the family?
Luo Shuhuan suddenly thought of Li Dongsheng. Although Li Dongsheng didn't say anything, she knew that Li Dongsheng must have looked for Jiang Youzhen.
The old marquis sacrificed his own relatives for the sake of justice, and Li Dongsheng took the blame and confessed his crime, and walked into the trap himself. For these reasons, the emperor would not make things too difficult for the marquis's family. It is possible that Jiang Youzhen's help was involved in this.
But she would not tell the Fourth Prince about this matter and alienate him from Li Dongsheng. She had other plans.
The Fourth Prince looked unhappy, but he had to go back to the palace to ask his father for mercy on behalf of the Marquis of Jin'an, so he asked, "You asked me to come here just to say this?"
Although he said this, he had already made up his mind to send someone to keep a close eye on Jiang Youzhen.
Luo Shuhuan was a little unhappy when she saw the Fourth Prince was so angry. What was so good about Jiang Youzhen? In terms of strategy, she was not inferior to Jiang Youzhen.
"Your Highness! Don't you think Jiang Youzhen is going to side with the Second Prince? Why don't we take this opportunity to drive a wedge between the two of them?"
Speaking of this, the Fourth Prince became interested. His eyes lit up, "What good ideas do you have?"
"Your Highness, didn't the Second Prince go to Jin Province? He must have taken the opportunity to make a lot of money this time. As long as Jiang Youzhen thinks that the Second Prince has concealed a lot, and then pushes some of it to Jiang Youzhen's name, and finally reports him to the emperor in the name of the Second Prince, wouldn't that create resentment?"
The fourth prince looked at Luo Shuhuan in surprise. He had never thought that this woman was not to be underestimated when it came to scheming. In this case, it was not that he could not marry her. After all, they both got what they needed.
He thought about it for a long time and came up with an idea. People who achieve great things don't pay attention to small details. As long as he can push Jiang Youzhen to his side, he naturally doesn't need to care about these details.
"I believe that this case will be concluded in the next few days. When the emperor is in a better mood, I will ask him to grant me the marriage."
The Fourth Prince stepped forward and grabbed Luo Shuhuan’s hand. It was just a concubine’s position, so he gave it to her.
Luo Shuhuan was immediately overjoyed. She had always been hinting at it, and this time the Fourth Prince took the initiative to mention it, which meant it was almost certain.
She had confidence in herself and knew that even if she entered the backyard and was only a concubine, she would be able to gain a foothold.
Thinking of the concubine that the Fourth Prince had just taken in as his backyard, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.
At this time in Yuanqing Palace, the emperor looked at the disheveled Zhu Zhimin and was so angry that he took a few deep breaths.
"Your Majesty, five assassins who wanted to seize the evidence from me have died, and one of them was captured alive. However, he was seriously injured and fell into a coma."
Zhu Zhimin felt a little guilty when he said this. Fortunately, Jiang Youzhen acted carefully and sent someone to protect him secretly. Otherwise, if the evidence was really taken away by someone, not only would his work be in vain, but he would also lose his official hat.
However, Zhu Zhimin thought about what Jiang Youzhen said at the palace gate, and he could not rule out the suspicion that he was deliberately provoking him. Could it be that Jiang Youzhen used him as bait to lure out the snake?
Zhu Zhimin gnashed his teeth when he thought of this. But the emperor was furious, so he couldn't attack Jiang Youzhen.
"Your Majesty, this is a plan that Lord Zhu and I discussed together, and it is to lure those people out. They are desperate, and if we follow them, we will definitely find their hiding place."
Jiang Youzhen didn't want to really offend the person, after all, they would meet each other again in the future.
Zhu Zhimin was a little surprised, but very pleased, and his expression eased a lot.
The emperor snorted coldly, knowing that Jiang Youzhen was just making excuses for Zhu Zhimin, but he was the Minister of Dali Temple after all, so he still gave him some face.
"It is too risky to act this way. Don't joke about the evidence in the future."
The emperor then picked up the remaining evidence beside him, and his face became darker and darker as he looked at it. This time, the court was in turmoil again, but it was time to dig out the rotten meat.
"Bring the child to the Dali Temple. I want to see him myself."
Zhu Zhimin was stunned at first, then he understood.
After leaving the palace, Jiang Youzhen and his friends rushed to Farong Temple.
As soon as I entered the room, Qin Yandong came to greet me.
"He confessed. This is his confession! He said that those people usually only contacted Jie Chen, but he followed Jie Chen once and found out where they met, which was a coffin shop in South City. Later he found out that the owner of the coffin shop was named He, a foreigner, and had bought the shop five years ago."
Jiang Youzhen asked quickly, "Did you send anyone to the coffin shop?"
"I've already been there. I feel like they don't seem to be communicating with each other." Qin Yandong talked about his guess.
Jiang Youzhen nodded, "Yes, whether it was Li Yaojun and Li Yanzheng before, or Li Yue and Jie Chen later, they were all separate lines and not connected. They each performed their own duties and were not aware of the tasks of other lines."
Jiang Youzhen thought of the spy war in his previous life. The person behind the scenes was indeed quite capable. These side quests did not interfere with each other.
"Well! But this has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that once one line is discovered, the others are relatively safe. But the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, there is no time to notify in time.
Plus, with so many people, it's hard to control them. Just like Li Yue, she was originally only related to Zhi Shen, but she was also involved with Jie Chen and the others."
"That wisdom likes to follow people and is very curious." Qin Yandong said with a sneer.
"Zhihui followed Zhishen and found out that he had hidden a woman with a child in the temple storeroom. Later, he thought about it and felt that something was wrong. That night, when Li Yue came out to look for food, he actually tried to force himself on her."
Jiang Youzhen was speechless upon hearing this, "This quiet Buddhist place is really filled with lust."
"This bald guy was never a good person. He has no shortage of wine, women, money and anger. He said that he had not come down the mountain for a long time because of the tense situation. When he saw Li Yue, he thought she would not dare to speak out, so he wanted to force her."
Jiang Youzhen shook his head. "So Li Yue and Zhihui are not familiar with each other, but why did Li Yue hide this matter about Zhihui before?"
"They have some tricks up their sleeves. They think that since we can't find Zhihui, they should leave one of their people in the temple. Then they can rescue her and the child."
"Master Qin, the emperor has ordered that the child and Li Yue be imprisoned in the Dali Temple cell. He wants to interrogate them personally."
Qin Yandong was not surprised. This child must be one of the rebels. The emperor must personally watch over the root of the rebellion, otherwise how can he feel at ease?
Jiang Youzhen accidentally glanced behind Qin Yandong and found that Zhihui had collapsed to the ground like mud, with a very ugly expression on his face.
