Gu Jing'an's eyes lit up when he heard this, "This is a great move. We only have the villagers' complaints now, which is not enough to punish Luo Tao. If Tao Guang and Zheng Haojie can testify against him, then there will be both human and material evidence. We will He can be detained."

"Yes, if Tao Guang and Zheng Haojie know that Luo Tao wants to kill them and become angry, they will be very likely to testify against him."

Jingshan completely understood Jamel Xiao’s intention at this moment, “I understand, I will inform Yun Qiyunfei now.”

Jingshan was about to leave but was stopped by Jamel Xiao, "Wait a minute, let Yunfei come to see me, I will give him instructions personally. Just let him come by himself. I just told them to go back and rest early. This matter It's enough for one person to handle it, let Yun Qi rest today."

"Yes, my subordinate will go right away."

Gu Jingan chuckled, "Hey, poor Yunfei, he can't rest early."

Jamel Xiao smiled when he heard this, "You are still sorry for him. Why don't you let him go back to rest? Are you going to do this?"

Gu Jing'an waved his hand quickly, "No, no, I don't mean that. Those who are capable should work harder. Yunfei is so good, so he should work harder."

Jamel Xiao smiled and said: "Don't worry, Yunfei has worked hard today, let him rest more tomorrow, I won't treat him badly."

Gu Jing'an nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, our Fifth Prince is such a good master, how can he let his subordinates be wronged? There is no such thing."

Jamel Xiao smiled when he heard this, "You are the only one with a poor mouth."

Early next morning

Tao Guang and Zheng Haojie didn't sleep well that night. When they closed their eyes, they could only see the scene of the assassination last night.

Even if I finally fell asleep later, I was still experiencing this dangerous moment in my dream, and when I woke up, I was covered in cold sweat.

Zheng Haojie asked tentatively: "Sir, did you sleep well last night?"

Tao Guang sighed, "How can I sleep well after experiencing something like that last night?"

Zheng Haojie nodded when he heard this, "Yes, this is the first time that I feel so close to death that I can't even sleep peacefully in my dreams."

"Isn't that right? Fortunately, the fifth prince's guards arrived in time, otherwise the two of us would not have been able to see the sun this morning."

While the two were talking, there was a sound of talking at the door, which seemed to be the two guards at the door chatting.

Zheng Haojie made a "shh" gesture, indicating to Tao Guang to stop talking and listen to what they had to say.

"Hey, have you heard? His Highness and Prince Gu interrogated those assassins overnight last night. They couldn't stand the torture, so they recruited them all."

"Really? You are very well-informed, I don't even know about it."

"No, I have my own channels, so I will naturally know faster than others."

"Then do you know who sent them here? I don't know if they have any deep hatred and want to directly kill people and silence them."

"You would never have guessed that the person who sent them was the famous Governor Luo."

"What? It's him? Don't they all say that Master Tao and Governor Luo are related? They also say that Governor Luo is Master Tao's backer. I thought Lord Tao and Governor Luo have a very good relationship. Why would Governor Luo send someone Come to kill them?"

"That's not clear, but you said that they have such close contact with each other on weekdays. How can Taishou Luo not know about the things these two people did? I think he not only knew about it, but maybe he also participated. When this incident came to light, Taishou Luo estimated I was afraid of implicating him, so I killed him."

"According to what you said, Governor Luo was too ruthless. Lord Tao was also his relative, so he just killed him on the spot? They had just been imprisoned, and they sent people to assassinate them that night. There was no hesitation at all. ah?"

"How about saying that they are people who do great things? They just have to be ruthless. You said that Master Tao and Master Zheng are quite pitiful. They were almost killed last night. Even now, they still don't know who wanted to kill them. The person they rely on the most on weekdays.”

"Look at what they did. They are not good people. Why do you feel sorry for them? Okay, let's not talk about it for now. They should be awake by now. Don't let them hear it."

The conversation between the two came to an abrupt end, and the two people in the woodshed were finally able to confirm their suspicions last night.

After hearing what they said, Tao Guang was so angry that he trembled all over, "Is it really him? He actually wants us to die?"

"I think their analysis just now makes sense. If he saves us, he will inevitably offend the Fifth Prince, and he can't afford to offend him. But if we are left here, we are worried that it will implicate him, so he simply silences us. If you and I both Now that he is gone, no one can testify against him, and he can rest easy."

After hearing Zheng Haojie's words, Tao Guang laughed angrily, "If I hadn't always treated him with filial piety, how could he have lived such a carefree life? Now that we are in danger, he just wants to leave and kill us? He It’s a beautiful thought, since he is unkind to us, then we can’t make it easy for him.”

Zheng Haojie comforted him: "Don't worry, sir. Those assassins have confessed to Prefect Luo last night. The Fifth Prince and Prince Gu will not let him go. This is an attempted murder, and the crime is not light."

Tao Guang shook his head, "No, this is far from enough. We are all still alive and well, and his crime will not be too serious. Think about what we went through last night, how can we let him pass so easily? Let's do it He didn't know any of these things. Not only did he know about it, he also helped a lot. He can't escape the crime of harboring and conniving."

Zheng Haojie hesitated when he heard this, "Sir, do you mean to drag Prefect Luo into the water?"

"It's not that we want to drag him into the water, but that he is already in the muddy water. We just push him and let him surface. Since he is so ruthless, we can't make it easy for him, you say? no?"

Although Zheng Haojie felt that what Tao Guang said was reasonable, he always felt that something was strange. It seemed as if someone was controlling everything, pushing them forward step by step.

But the aura of death he felt last night was too strong. Zheng Haojie hated Prefect Luo from the bottom of his heart and really didn't want him to have an easy time.

"My lord, you are right. Then let's go find the Fifth Prince and Prince Gu to testify against Prefect Luo. With our testimony, he will never be able to escape."

The two reached a consensus, sorted things out briefly, and then started knocking on the door.

"Both guards, please open the door."

The two shouted for a long time before the door was opened.

The two guards at the door said impatiently: "Why are you shouting? What's wrong this early in the morning?"

Now they have something to ask for, so they don't care about their attitude.

Tao Guang said with a smile: "We have something important to report to His Highness and the Crown Prince, and I would like to trouble you both to tell them."
