The Whole Family Went Crazy After Reading My Mind Chapter 79: The Mantis Stalks The Cicada, Unaware Of The Oriole Behind
Ji Mansion.
When Ji Linfeng came back, the wound on his arm had burst open and a bloody smell was coming out.
Madam Ji and Ji Hua thought their plan had failed, and he got into a fight with Liang Ru’er and got injured. They were extremely anxious.
[Woo woo, second brother, does it hurt? It’s a failure, so it’s a failure. The Third prince doesn’t dare to attack the Ji family openly yet. We just need to be careful.]
Madam Ji was about to cry: “Sit down quickly, mother will bandage you.”
[Yes, yes, yes, mother, quickly bandage my second brother. I will exchange a recovery charm for him and guarantee that he will recover quickly. Even if they find out, they will only think that the medicine mother used is effective.]
[Damn it, I actually forgot about this earlier. ]
Ji Linfeng looked at his little sister who stretched out her hands and tapped randomly, and felt extremely regretful. He thought: Next time I will take good care of my little sister and never let her get hurt again.
Ji Linfeng took out a stack of banknotes as if by magic and handed them to Ji Hua with a smile.
Ji Hua screamed.
[Wow, so many banknotes, is this a success? ]
Mrs. Ji was also quite surprised and asked hurriedly, “But it worked?”
Ji Linfeng nodded: “It’s worked, everything went well.”
Mrs. Ji was so happy that she said, “The second son finally did something good this time.”
Ji Linfeng pursed his lips: Yeah, in front of my parents, I am just a useless person.
Ji Hua saw that Ji Linfeng looked unhappy, so she held his arm and comforted him with laughter.
[My second brother is awesome. I have high hopes for you.]
Ji Linfeng smiled slightly. He was used to it and didn’t take his mother’s words to heart.
Madam Ji glanced at Ji Linfeng and said nothing. She carefully unwrapped the cloth strips for him to apply the medicine. This kid must have known that he would bleed, so he wrapped a lot of cloth strips around him. At this moment, the blood had dyed the cloth strips red.
Although he seems carefree on usually, he is actually quite attentive.
How could she not feel distressed?
Ji Hua was rummaging through the banknotes on the small bed, rolling around in laughter.
[Hahaha, it’s a full ten thousand taels. The Third Prince is really generous. Now all this money belongs to the Ji family.]
Ji Hua laughed with great joy.
Not long after, Lord Ji came back. He came back late because he was separated from Yin Zheng. Seeing Ji Linfeng applying medicine, he said, “Thanks to Feng’er’s alertness, otherwise he would have been discovered by the counselor beside the third prince.”
[It must be Lone Wolf, that guy is quite powerful, he is the Third prince’s right-hand man. ]
Ji Linfeng pursed his lips tightly. Just as his younger sister said, he made himself proud this time.
It was after noon when Zuo Tong and Ji Yushu returned, the whole family was waiting for him in Wutong Courtyard.
As soon as Ji Yushu arrived, he praised Ji Linfeng, “Second brother, you performed well this time. You successfully made the Crown prince suspect the Third prince. He also learned that the Lu family’s affairs were related to Liang Ru’er. The Lin family’s banquet the day after tomorrow will only be a joke.”
Lord Ji pondered for a moment and said, “Although today’s event was done perfectly, the Crown Prince cannot be viewed with the eyes of an ordinary person.”
“Don’t worry, Daddy. Even if the Crown prince is suspicious, he will figure out that we are helping him. He will also pretend that he doesn’t know.”
[Big brother’s analysis is very correct. The royal family is ruthless, but you are of use right now, so they won’t expose you. As long as the Third prince finds out later, the Ji family can have a break.]
Then Ji Yushu analyzed, “There is one more thing. We have to find the booklet that An Yan lost as soon as possible. Today’s battle has given the Third Prince a clue to suspect the Ji family. We must find the booklet as soon as possible and not let him have a chance to turn things around.”
[Great! After the eldest brother got back on his feet, he became smarter. The second brother is not bad either. He finally realized that if he wants to deal with the Third prince, the whole family must work together.]
After being praised, Ji Linfeng smiled foolishly and scratched his head.
Lord Ji patted his shoulder comfortingly, thinking that as a father he should reflect on himself.
Fengyi Palace.
“My son, are you saying that when you were discussing the water control plan with the eldest son of the Ji family, you accidentally overheard the conversation between the members of the Dark Pavilion and Liang Ru’er?”
“That’s right, mother. The Liang family is full of evil intentions. I almost entrusted them with an important task. And the Third brother actually wanted to get his hands on the throne. He even planned a marriage between me and the Lu family. It’s really hateful.” The Crown prince was so angry that his face turned blue. The queen looked very solemn. “Mother said before that the Third brother was not simple, but I didn’t expect him to be so complicated.” Now thinking about it, there are mysteries everywhere.
And did Ji Yushu really just happen to meet the Crown prince to discuss the water control plan today?
After thinking for a long time, the Queen smiled. “My son, do you think today is just a coincidence?”
Hearing this, the Crown prince was stunned: “What does mother mean?”
The queen made a silent gesture and raised her lips with a smile: “Go and help the Ji family cut off the tail.”
The Crown prince was stunned for a long time before he reacted. Then he nodded in a serious tone: “Yes.”
That night, the news came from the East Palace that the Crown prince was assassinated. There were three assassins, all of whom were highly skilled in martial arts. The Crown prince was injured, and the commander of the imperial guards surrounded the Yihong Courtyard. Because the assassins fled to the Yihong Courtyard, the Crown prince suspected that there were accomplices in the Yihong Courtyard. This search arrested many suspicious people.
The incident caused a big stir and the Ji family soon got the news.
The family held an emergency meeting.
Ji Yushu used his best brain to analyze: “The Crown prince’s move successfully covered up the exposure point for us. You think, the second brother played the role of An Chi and accepted the money from the Third prince. It will be exposed sooner or later.”
“Once An Chi is arrested, who would have think that the money was in the hands of the Ji family? Liang Ru’er thought that the money and goods were exchanged. An Ying would only think that An Chi did the job, took the money and was arrested.”
The two sides hadn’t even contacted each other yet, but the man was arrested. This time, no one could suspect the Ji family.
[Big brother, what you said makes sense, but all this is based on the fact that An Chi was successfully captured. If he hadn’t been captured, the Ji family would have been exposed. That guy is a master of disguise, very clever.]
The other three nodded in agreement, thinking that daughter/sister’s analysis made sense.
“Well, now, we have to find out whether An Chi has been caught?” Ji Yushu said.
“I’ll go, I know someone in prison.” Ji Linfeng said, patting his chest.
The family handed this task to Ji Linfeng. An unreliable person must slowly learn to be reliable.
Bei Hengyuan was still looking at the booklet, which had names and addresses on it, so it didn’t look fake. But just in case, he immediately ordered someone to contact them secretly.
As soon as Lone Wolf left, news came out that the Crown prince had been assassinated. The Crown prince was injured, and two of his secret guards were killed. The commander of the imperial guards had already chased the assassins to Yihong Courtyard.
In order to make the play realistic, the Crown prince was indeed injured, but not seriously.
Bei Hengyuan clenched his fists, his expression grim. Damn the Dark Chamber, he had said he would take action during the Queen’s birthday banquet. Why did he take action in advance?
Bei Hengyuan immediately sent someone to investigate the reason, but the news he received made him frown.
“Your Highness, it was not the people from the Dark Chamber who did this.” said the secret guard beside Bei Hengyuan.
“Could it be the Second Prince?”
“I don’t know. An Ying said An Chi was arrested. A large amount of banknotes were found in An Chi’s room.”
Bei Hengyuan was so angry. Wasn’t this the banknote he gave out today? Damn it, the Second Prince ruined his plan.
When did he become so smart? Or was this just a complete accident?
An Chi must not be allowed to reveal the theft of the list, so An Chi must die. If someone wants to kill someone in the prison without anyone noticing, this can only be done by the Imperial Adivisor.
“Go and make arrangements. This prince wants to meet the Imperial advisor.”
When Bei Hengyuan disguised himself and went to the Imperial advisor’s residence, the Imperial advisor was busy gnawing on a chicken leg.
“This Imperial advisor already knows the purpose of the Third Prince’s visit. There is indeed someone who is interfering in this matter, but this Imperial advisor has not yet figured out who this person is.”
Bei Hengyuan’s mouth twitched, thinking: Master Cifeng’s divination skills are no longer what they used to be. He came to him to kill people, not to divine. He already knew that this man in the dark was the second prince. He couldn’t wait to get out of the clan residence.
However, Bei Hengyuan did not intend to expose him and acted as if he had guessed it right.
“Imperial advisor is truly worthy of being the best in divination. This prince admires you. I also ask Imperial advisor to find out who is behind this as soon as possible. This matter concerns our life and property. In addition, I also ask Imperial advisor to help kill a man. This person is imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison.” Bei Hengyuan lowered his posture a little.
After nodding, the Imperial advisor continued gnawing on the chicken leg like a reincarnated starving ghost.
After Bei Hengyuan left, the Imperial advisor threw away the chicken leg in his hand, and his expression suddenly became sinister and terrifying, like a Shura from hell.
“No! One! Can! Live!!”
