I'm the villain in the book

There are no witnesses, which means that no one has seen what the assassin looks like.

They could only tell from the wounds on hundreds of corpses that one of the assassins used a sword.

With a sword, master a phantom array, the strength is extremely strong...

After combining these clues, many people already faintly feel that Wei Changtian or Qin Zhengqiu did this.

But that's just guesswork.

More importantly, even if Wei Changtian did this, they seemed powerless.

revenge?

Not to mention whether Da Hui has this ability, the attitude of the Da Prince and others alone is a bit intriguing.

After all, the death of Lu Yuansong is undoubtedly a good thing for everyone who is vying for the throne.

Maybe these people are clapping their hands in celebration at this very moment.

Of course, no matter what, what should be done to save face is still to be done.

At the beginning of Haishi, half an hour after Lu Yuansong's death, Longshou Mountain was closed in chaos, and no one was allowed to enter or exit.

At the same time, spies from various intelligence agencies in Dahui also began to conduct a "carpet" search in Yongding City, looking for all suspicious people who might be assassins.

In fact, Dahui did not have much hope for the assassin to be found.

After all, since this person can sneak into the Changding Palace without anyone noticing, how can he be found easily?

But whether there is hope or not, these reactions are necessary when a prince of a country is assassinated.

As a result, the turbulent undercurrent in Yongding City became more and more violent, and the last sliver of calm that was barely maintained was finally completely broken tonight.

......

......

At three o'clock in Haishi, Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi returned to the Zhuwu Inn by car.

They all had smiles on their faces. Although the clothes on their bodies were exactly the same as when they left, they had already changed into a new set.

Even Zhang San, who was following behind the two, was carrying a few boxes of pastries bought from the West Market, as if the three of them really just went to the night market...

"Miss Qin, I bought Ruyi Cake at Wufangzhai."

Entering the front hall, Wei Changtian smiled and said to Qin He who was settling accounts, "I brought you a box specially."

While speaking, Zhang San already put a box of pastries in Qin He's hand, and the latter got up quickly.

"My lord, you don't have to be so polite!"

"Miss Qin, it's just a box of pastries, so don't shirk it."

"This... the concubine is very grateful to the son and wife."

After hesitating for a while, Qin He didn't push the box of pastries back and forth, and after thanking him, he asked softly:

"My lord, madam, is the West Market still lively?"

"lively."

Wei Changtian smiled meaningfully: "It can be said that it was extremely lively."

"Is it?"

Qin He covered her mouth and responded: "Next time, if you have time, you can go to the Ronghuafang in the north of the city. It will be even more lively."

"Okay, I'll go in a few days."

Wei Changtian nodded with a smile: "Miss Qin, shall we go back to the house first?"

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Qin He immediately gave a slight salute: "Master, go slowly, Madam, go slowly."

"Um......"

"..."

After chatting with Qin He, Wei Changtian and Yang Liushi quickly returned to the courtyard.

Li Zimu opened the courtyard door for them, and at a glance, he could tell that tonight's affairs should be relatively satisfactory.

But she still pleaded softly:

"My lord, is Lu Yuansong dead?"

"died."

Wei Changtian walked across the small courtyard to the house, and replied casually: "Not only him, but the entire Changding Palace is dead."

"Ah."

Li Zimu nodded, and asked again: "Has the master in the palace ever made a move?"

"No."

Wei Changtian shook his head: "Liu Shi set up the phantom formation as you said, after I killed the first person to enter the formation, no one outside the formation really dared to enter."

"Yeah, that's good..."

While talking, several people had already entered the house, and there were night insects chirping outside the house.

Obviously, what happened tonight was planned by Li Zimu, and the arrangement of the phantom array was also arranged by her.

She told Wei Changtian that he must deal with the first batch of masters entering the phantom formation as quickly as possible, and throw the corpses out of the formation.

Wei Changtian did exactly as he did, and the facts proved that he did achieve good results.

As expected, the masters outside the formation were afraid to enter the formation because of the head, which made Wei Changtian finally kill Lu Yuansong with ease.

If not, even if he could succeed, it would probably take a lot of effort.

"Is there any movement from Gongsunyan?"

Taking off the robe and handing it to Li Zimu, Wei Changtian asked Zhang San, "Stay at home?"

"Yes, I have never left the house."

Zhang San immediately replied: "It should be still under consideration."

"Consider... okay, then wait for him another day."

Wei Changtian yawned, and lazily muttered:

"If he still doesn't dare after all this, then it's because I misread the person..."

"..."

......

To the west of Yongding City, Prince An's Mansion.

The dark moon was sinking, and the chaos and flames had spread from Longshou Mountain to the entire Yongding City, but they had not yet reached here.

Therefore, the palace in the night is still as calm as ever.

To outsiders, this place is no different from the past.

However, in the eyes of the maids and servants in the mansion, Gongsun Yan today is a bit weird.

Needless to say, Gongsun Yan's wealth was able to buy the status of a prince with money, even if it was not much worse than the previous Daning Xu family.

And to be able to earn so much money, naturally requires the support of an extremely large industry.

Therefore, on weekdays, Gongsun Yan would go out almost every morning and would not come back until late at night.

But today he has been shutting himself in the study since noon, and he hasn't stepped out of the room until now, and he hasn't even eaten dinner.

Such an abnormal situation naturally attracted the attention of many people, but everyone didn't know what happened.

Gongsunyan's wives were even more anxious, they had been waiting outside the study for a long time with hot and cold meals, and cold and hot meals.

Then at a certain moment, a man in black suddenly ran all the way from the gate of the mansion to this place, and knocked on the door hastily.

"Who?"

Soon, Gongsun Yan's cold voice came out from the study, mixed with a trace of impatience.

"Master, it's me!"

Outside the house, the man in black didn't care whether Gongsun Yan was in a good mood or not, but immediately replied, "There is something important happening in the palace!"

"......Come in."

"Yes!"

Responding loudly, the man in black immediately opened the door and walked into the room, then turned around and closed the door tightly under the blank eyes of all the women.

"master!"

Walking quickly to Gongsun Yan who was sitting behind the desk, the man in black didn't say a word of nonsense, but said in a low voice:

"Half an hour ago, the second prince died!"

Chapter 795

"what?!!"

He stood up with a "bass", his eyes widened.

When the man in black told Gongsun Yanzhi the news of Lu Yuansong's death, the latter was visibly shocked to the extreme.

Yes, he did not deal with Lu Yuansong, and he even longed for the latter to die soon.

But Gongsun Yan never expected that Lu Yuansong would die so without warning.

"Who did it?!"

Turning his head suddenly to look at the man in black, he hurriedly asked: "Eldest prince? Or third prince?"

"I don't know yet."

The man in black immediately replied truthfully: "At present, we only know that an assassin has infiltrated the Changding Hall, and killed everyone in the hall including the second prince within a quarter of an hour."

"And the assassin even killed Huang Tianshi who went to save people..."

"..."

There are many witnesses to what happened in Changding Hall, and it is not a secret.

The man in black probably had a high status in the palace, so he quickly told Gongsun Yan the whole incident.

The latter didn't ask any more questions after listening, just sat back on the chair in a daze, and remained silent for a long time.

The candlelight was flickering, the study room was quiet, and the faint fragrance of ink floated in the tense air.

Seeing that Gongsunyan was silent, the man in black just stood there quietly. It was not until some time later that he heard a murmur that seemed to be talking to himself.

"He killed it..."

"..."

His pupils shrank subconsciously, and the man in black suddenly turned his head to look at Gongsunyan with a surprised expression.

Because there are two meanings implied in this sentence.

First, Gongsun Yan has already guessed the real murderer who assassinated Lu Yuansong.

Second, Gongsun Yan recognized this person.

"Master, this person..."

After hesitating for a moment, the man in black was about to ask something, but was interrupted by Gongsun Yan before he finished speaking:

"You go out first."

"......Yes."

His eyes froze, the man in black cupped his hands, and quickly bowed his head and exited the study.

Gongsunyan was the only one left in the room again, but the news brought by the man in black made the former's mentality completely different from before.

Undoubtedly, Gongsun Yan had guessed that Wei Changtian had killed Lu Yuansong.

As for why Lu Yuansong was killed instead of others, it is not difficult to deduce the truth based on what happened in Ma Xing this morning.
