The Whole Family Went Crazy After Reading My Mind Chapter 78: To Lure The Crown Prince Into Trap
At the agreed time, Ji Yushu went out first and Ji Linfeng went out later.
Lord Ji was afraid that things might change, so he asked Yin Zheng to disguise himself as a servant and meet them at Yuelai Inn.
Madam Ji and Ji Hua were waiting for news in the Ji Mansion in fear.
The longer the time dragged on, the more worried they became, and the faster their hearts beat.
[Alas, risks and opportunities have always coexisted. If this succeeds, the Third prince’s secret will be revealed soon. If it fails, what awaits the Ji family is the endless revenge of the Third prince.]
The enemy in the dark is the most terrifying.
Here, after Ji Linfeng received Yin Zheng’s gesture, he knew that Liang Ru’er had entered the room. Then he twisted his waist and held an oil-paper umbrella to walk towards Yuelai Inn.
Just as he was about to enter the door, a beggar suddenly jumped out and fell at Ji Linfeng’s feet.
“Please give me some food, kindhearted people. I have been hungry for many days.” The little beggar was in tattered clothes and had a dirty face. But the hand he stretched out was very slender, not like a beggar who had been begging for food for a long time.
Ji Linfeng first tucked the hair hanging down beside his ear with his left hand, raised his lips slightly, reached into his arms and took out two silver coins, and threw them to the little beggar.
He muttered, “Tsk, how boring!” and continued walking inside with his waist twisted.
He sighed in his heart: This Third Prince is really a dog, he actually used a little beggar to test me. Fortunately, my smart elder brother asked me to pay more attention to the details along the way. Otherwise, I would have been fooled.
When it comes to intelligence, the eldest brother is still the best!
The little beggar picked up the pieces of silver on the ground and ran away. In a blink of an eye, he came to an alley, panting, and made some hair movements to the man waiting here, and said: “Tsk, how boring!”
Lone Wolf then understood that this person was An Chi, and it was now up to Liang Ru’er.
The down payment has been paid to Dark Eagle, and the remaining commission is with Liang Ru’er.
When she came, Liang Ru’er glanced at the second-to-last door in the corner, and seeing that it was locked, she pushed open the last door with peace of mind and entered.
Not long after, Liang Ruer heard footsteps in the corridor. Then she stood up and hid behind the door.
Ji Linfeng knocked twice but no one responded, so he pushed the door open.
In an instant, a fierce palm wind came. Ji Linfeng used the injured hand to perform the unique killing skill of the Dark Pavilion without thinking.
With just one move, Liang Ru’er was sure it was An Chi. “Come in.”
Ji Linfeng disguised himself as a woman today, which was more real than the bearded man with a broken arm that day. In Liang Ruer’s opinion, the injury on his arm that night was also fake. If he tied his arm again today, she would definitely be suspicious.
He had to act quickly to prevent the wound from bursting and bleeding.
Ji Linfeng shook off the hair hanging down beside his ears, and endured the tearing pain on his arm. Then he casually threw the book in his arms to Liang Ru’er and said, “This is the Ji family’s list. I copied a copy to avoid arousing suspicion. Please take a look.”
Liang Ru’er took a quick look, nodded, and took out a thick stack of silver bills that she had prepared.
Ji Linfeng held his chin with one hand, shifted his gaze from the banknote to Liang Ru’er, and raised his eyebrows: “The Third Prince is so straightforward.”
Liang Ru’er paused holding the banknote, her face immediately filled with anger: “Shut up, have you forgotten our rules?”
“I know, I know. Isn’t it just that you can’t mention the name of the Third Prince in front of others? Don’t worry, I have already booked the place.”
Liang Ru’er frowned and warned again: “You’d better shut up.” She didn’t dare to be careless about that matter.
Will Ji Linfeng shut up? No, he would risk being discovered and get more information out of her. Ji Linfeng acted even more impatient than Liang Ru’er: “Okay, okay, I’ll shut up. So, did you succeed in pretending to be the eldest lady of the Lu family last night? I heard many people say that the eldest lady of the Lu family had a night meeting with the second prince? Your move is really vicious.”
Liang Ru’er thought she had done a great job, so she snorted, “Of course, with me, Liang Ru’er, there’s nothing I can’t accomplish. Okay, can you go back quickly? I have to send this booklet to the master for review. Next time I have a chance, I will contact Dark Eagle.”
“Okay, I won’t stay either. Sister Liang, if you are free, remember to come to Yihong Courtyard to support us in the evening.” After saying that, he stood up, twisted his waist and went out.
Liang Ru’er felt sick in her heart. She waited for Ji Linfeng to leave for quite some time before she got up and left.
Liang Ruer had no idea that the Crown prince was right next door.
Just now, when the Crown prince was about to discuss the water control plan with Ji Yushu, footsteps were heard at the door. The Crown prince hurriedly signaled Ji Yushu not to speak, and then hid himself.
The water control plan is of vital importance and no mistakes can be made.
There were people living next door, and the Crown prince knew it was inconvenient to discuss the water control plan, so he prepared to leave with Ji Yushu. However, before he got up, he heard footsteps again.
In just two breaths, the two seemed to be exchanging moves. Then they heard something about the Ji family’s list . Seeing Ji Yushu anxiously trying to push the wheelchair, the Crown prince quickly signaled him to be patient.
Then he heard the other party mention the Third prince, and now he couldn’t remain calm. The following words made him even more angry.
Good job, really good job, his good third brother, even after being poisoned, still wanted to collude with the assassins of the Dark Pavilion. He also asked someone to steal the Ji family’s list, stealing the list was nothing more than wanting to form a clique for personal gain and control military power.
That’s great. Even in this situation, you still want to get your hands on the throne.
He thought it was his second brother who did it, but it turned out that his second brother was also being used. He probably wished it would happen.
The Crown prince was so angry but he also saw Ji Yushu, who was also angry. The Ji Mansion was like a solid wall, but a thief could break in and steal the list. It was infuriating to think about it.
“The eldest son has also heard this. I will definitely report this to my father. I would like you to be a witness.”
Ji Yushu shook his head: “Your Highness thinks too simply. We just overheard it and have no evidence. Your Majesty will not believe it.”
The Crown prince was stunned. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was true. He became anxious.
The Ji family list was only copied, the original list is still there, it can’t prove anything? And the person who contacted the Dark Pavilion was the Liang family, not him. He could have insisted that it was the Liang family, or the Crown Prince’s slander, or the Second Prince could have deliberately used a trick to make the fisherman benefit from the conflict between the snipe and the clam.
The Third Prince has been pretending to be so weak that he cannot take care of himself for too long. Without irrefutable evidence, Emperor Yu would not believe it.
The second prince has already lost the emperor’s favor and there is no way he can defend himself.
The Third Prince was poisoned for Emperor Yu and was used to pretending to be pitiful. Emperor Yu would not believe it easily and would only think that the Crown Prince was jealous of the care he gave to the Third Prince and deliberately slandered him.
“The most important thing right now is to find evidence of the Third Prince’s contact with the Dark Pavilion, and to help the eldest lady of the Lu family clear her name.”
“Your Highness should feel lucky that we heard this secret today. We won’t be so passive in the future. Also, before we find evidence, we cannot make a move on the Liang family, so as not to alert the enemy.”
The Crown prince also thought of this and nodded to show that he understood. He had seen Ji Yushu’s intelligence before, so he was not surprised that he could analyze the pros and cons so quickly.
If he had not lost his fighting spirit after his leg injury, this person would have been the most capable adviser around him.
Ji Yushu was afraid that someone might be outside, so he dragged the Crown prince to talk about the water control plan until noon. They had lunch at the inn before leaving.
No one thought that this inn which used to be the property of the Jiang family, was now the property of his Ji family. As for the lock on the door, if Liang Ru’er looked carefully, she could still see that it was a fake lock. Unfortunately, she only took a glance.
That booklet must be found as soon as possible, because the Third prince will soon discover that the names recorded in the booklet are all false.
