The Villain's Heart Black Moonlight

Xu Shiyin: “……?”

It took him three full seconds to find his voice: "D-really?"

Cen Jinchao on the opposite side waved to let the guard Eleven who was standing outside come in.

"Did the people who followed the Sixth Princess in the palace pass on any news to you?"

Cen Jinzhao asked in a deep voice.

"No." Eleven paused for a moment, as if he didn't quite understand why his master asked this. "According to the report last night, everything is normal."

Is everything normal?

Cen Jinzhao's expression finally changed slightly.

Everything was normal with Chi Chu, but he saw someone outside the palace who looked very similar to Chi Chu - there was a high probability that it was her. Was this a coincidence or was there another hidden story?

"Go ask the people over there."

The man gave the order indifferently, and one couldn't guess how much he cared about the matter just by listening to his voice.

Xu Shiyin sat nearby without saying a word, knowing that Cen Jinzhao was serious.

He also knew that not letting him recuse himself was a sign of trust from Prime Minister Cen, but also a subtle deterrent.

Although everyone knew that Cen Jinchao must have made arrangements in the palace, there was still a big difference between saying it in person and guessing.

It seems that I have boarded a pirate ship.

Xu Shiyin had a headache.

However, compared to the possible crises in the future, he, who lives for the present, is obviously more curious about the current situation. He has to admit that this Sixth Princess is indeed different from what he imagined... And...

Was that person just now the Sixth Princess?

"Prime Minister Cen, although I am really curious about this matter, from the perspective of a collaborator, I must remind you that this Sixth Princess is probably not a simple person, at least her background is not simple. Is there a possibility... that this person outside the palace is the real Sixth Princess?"

Although Xu Shiyin was smiling, there was seriousness in his joke.

This speculation is not without reason.

In order to plant a spy around Cen Jinchao, those people staged a substitutionary act. The real Sixth Princess was sent out of the palace, and the one in the palace who was about to marry Cen Jinchao was the one they trained.

That is why they can see a "Sixth Princess" outside the palace when there are no problems in the palace.

"I know this. It's possible that the person below is just someone who looks like the princess."

Cen Jinzhao stood up and said this.

At this time, Chi Chu's figure outside was about to disappear, and she seemed to be walking towards the more remote and sparsely populated west of the city.

"Mr. Xu, I may have to leave first." When Cen Jinzhao stood up, his aura changed suddenly, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

"Okay, then I won't send you off."

Xu Shiyin smiled.

There was a flash of deep thought in his eyes.

According to his own information, Cen Jinchao and the Sixth Princess should have never met before, but the other party's performance just now seemed to be otherwise. He seemed to know the Sixth Princess in the palace very well.

There was even a subtle bias in his tone that he himself didn't even notice.

This is where things get interesting.

In fact, Cen Jinchao had considered what Xu Shiyin said before, but for some reason he had put this guess at the end. He was more inclined to believe that Chi Chu was taken advantage of without his knowledge.

After all, that pure look... doesn't seem fake.

Of course, it does not rule out the possibility that one may have made a mistake.

Cen Jinzhao strode down the stairs, his hands at his sides clenched into fists without him noticing.

-

At this time, Chi Chu naturally knew that someone was following her. While eating the glutinous rice cake she had just bought, she wondered who was going to attack her.

When you think about it this way, there are actually quite a few candidates who are suspicious.

According to normal logic, the protagonist of the world arranged for her to marry Cen Jinzhao, so he should not take any action during this period.

But if it was to pretend that Cen Jinchao was dissatisfied with the marriage and murdered the princess, it would seem to make sense.

These conspiracies and calculations are really a headache.

Chi Chu sighed: "I'd better go ask later."

【? Who should I ask? 】

Bobo was a little confused, but soon he found out.

——Of course, she should ask those who came to kill her directly!

Looking at the group of "killers" standing obediently against the wall, Bobo especially wanted to observe a moment of silence for them. After all, it was also one of the people who was deceived by Chi Chu's appearance.

There is always a strange resonance between the victims.

At this time, the killers were standing upright and trembling.

Who could have thought that they would hit a wall like this?

Work has been finished before it even started?

"Tell me, who sent you here?"

Chi Chu did not use the silk thread.

These people are not very strong, their tracking techniques are quite clumsy, and they don't seem to know the identity of their bodies.

It can be seen from this that these people are not the assassins supported by the families. They probably don’t know much and don’t need such advanced questioning techniques.

"We are paid to do the job. We cannot disclose the employer's information in this line of work!"

A man who looked like the leader and had some backbone spoke. Of course, when listening to this, one had to ignore the other person's trembling calves.

He spoke with a heavy accent, with a bit of banditry, and he didn't sound like he was from the capital.

"Oh." Chi Chu nodded, but did not ask any further questions. Instead, he changed his mind.

"Then I won't ask about your specific identities. I will just give you double the money and let you go back to deal with the people who hired you, okay?"

She spoke softly, as if she was having a friendly discussion with them.

But these people know it’s not.

They were full of doubts, but did not dare to refute loudly.

Because ten minutes ago, they also thought so, thinking that the other party looked soft and easy to bully... But before they even got close, their hands and feet were tied up by invisible silk threads.

As a result, we have now fallen into such a passive situation.

"This...isn't this appropriate?"

"You guys are taking money to get things done, aren't you? He gave you money and you didn't succeed, so you used my money to deal with him. Separate the transactions and it's clear at a glance. These are just two orders."

Several killers: “……???”

It seems to make sense, but it also feels like something is not right.

"Then, how can you give us the money? The other party said fifty taels of silver..."

The leading killer was finally tempted. What Chi Chu said seemed to be right. It didn't matter whose money they were making.

Here, an average family only spends five or six taels of silver a month, so fifty taels is really a lot.

"Has the other party given it all to you?"

"Yes, but..."

Before he could finish his words, he felt his hand rising up uncontrollably, and then he took out a silver note from inside.

Chi Chu naturally raised his hand to take the banknote from him, then raised his head and pursed his lips and smiled.

"Double the price is one hundred taels, right? These fifty taels are the deposit. I will give you another fifty taels when you succeed."

Several killers: "..."
