EBE Chapter 417 Silencing
Chapter 417 Silencing
Ma Feihu's silence was taken as his agreement.
"Haha..., it's really God's will. You don't know what that person asked you to find, but I know it's in the study where you were caught just now, very close to you." Zhou Chang was able to vent half of the bad luck he had for the night. "As long as we set fire, it would be best to burn that thing directly. Haha, you have a good plan, but unfortunately man proposes, God disposes."
Ma Feihu was stunned and couldn't help muttering: "Last time, I didn't set the fire. I didn't set the fire. I just wanted to find something..."
"Oh, I almost forgot..." Zhou Chang had already found out the real culprit. He no longer took it to heart, but he started to think, "You came to my mansion this time, you must have planted an insider in the mansion beforehand, who is that person?"
"I don't know." Ma Feihu denied it flatly.
"Don't know again? You said you don't know, not that you don't have it, so that means you have it?" Zhou Chang felt that although Ma Feihu looked big and strong, he was an old hand after all, so cunning should be a necessary skill.
If Ma Feihu's hands had not been tied, he would have wanted to slap himself twice, feeling that Prince Yi was extremely smart and cunning.
Zhou Chang turned his head and looked at the unconscious man next to Ma Feihu: "What happened to that man? He has been unconscious for so long and still hasn't woken up? Wake him up and ask someone else."
Since Ma Feihu was a wanted criminal of the imperial court who was rescued, it was estimated that he just used his martial arts and stealing skills, but it was impossible for a team of four bandits to be completely unaware of the inside story.
Gao Yuan went up and twisted the man a few times.
The unconscious person woke up with a loud shout: "Ah, no..., I don't know anything."
"This is the brother you mentioned?" Zhou Chang glanced at Ma Feihu, "He is even more spineless than you."
"Bah, they deserve it." Ma Feihu spat.
As expected, I guessed it right. If four people caught three, there must be someone who is not of one mind.
"Whizzing……"
Just as Zhou Chang was about to ask again, a dark figure flashed outside the door and he heard two sounds of breaking wind.
Before he could react, Gao Yuan had already stood in front of him and shouted, "There is an assassin. Protect the prince."
Zhou Chang then realized that there was an assassin. With a cry of "Ah", the person who had just woken up fell down again.
"Don't worry about me, he's trying to silence us, chase him quickly..." Zhou Chang took the lead and rushed out.
Gao Yuan still stayed by his side: "Your Majesty, please don't do that. Be careful of ambushes."
Two soldiers outside the front hall door reacted and chased after the figure.
The front yard was quiet, with no one there.
By the moonlight, it can be confirmed that the gate of the palace in front is locked, and only the palace soldiers who have run away are still shouting "Catch the assassin..."
Zhou Chang stopped on the jade steps and was stopped by Gao Yuan behind him: "Is the prince okay?"
Gao Yuan was always alert, paying attention to any movement outside and protecting her at the same time.
Zhou Chang felt it and found everything was fine: "It's okay, Gao Yuan, do you think that person is the one who ran away just now and came back to silence him?"
Gao Yuan groaned: "It's possible, but it's also possible that someone else has been secretly monitoring us all along, just to silence us in time."
Silence, silence...
Zhou Chang thought of Ma Feihu again and hurried back.
Ma Feihu was quite alert. He was tied up and rolled behind a pillar. There were two soldiers standing beside him with knives at their sides, which was a bit more protective than hers.
"Humph, you are quite alert." Zhou Chang sat back down in his seat.
Ma Feihu was pulled back to his original position by the palace soldiers, but he was still tense and did not dare to relax.
Gao Yuan followed the direction where Ma Feihu was hiding and found a missed dart on the west wall.
Gao Yuan took the dart off and looked through it in the light of the fire.
"Close the door, close the door..." Ma Feihu knelt down and shouted with his neck shrunk.
"Oh, yes..." Zhou Chang finally reacted and raised his hand to signal the palace soldiers.
He secretly blamed himself for being too careless just now. It was hot in the summer and most of the doors and windows of the palaces were open. He didn't expect that someone would take advantage of such a big loophole.
Gao Yuan put down the dart slowly and glanced at Ma Feihu: "Don't worry, if he misses once, that person probably won't dare to come again tonight."
It was obvious that the assassin was not here to kill Prince Yi, so Gao Yuan relaxed his vigilance a little.
At this time, two palace soldiers came back to report: "Your Highness, we are incompetent and let the person escape."
Zhou Chang didn't hold out much hope: "Forget it, close the palace door."
"Yes..." The two soldiers stood up and walked out, closing the front hall door from the outside.
After the door was closed, Zhou Chang said coldly to Ma Feihu: "Do you still think you should repay your life-saving grace? It's just mutual use."
Ma Feihu's face had already changed color.
He prided himself on being the most loyal person throughout his life, but his last fall was when he was betrayed by his brothers.
Now someone saved his life only by taking advantage of his ability to climb walls and run on rooftops.
"I am not in the same group with him..." Ma Feihu glanced at the corpse beside him, "He followed me just to contact the insider in the palace, but I really don't know who the insider is. He was the one who contacted him."
"What about the other one who is dead?" Zhou Chang asked again.
"I don't know either. I don't know where he came from. He has only mediocre skills. He was discovered as soon as he landed on the ground, and that's how he was exposed." Ma Feihu looked disdainful.
Zhou Chang sneered: "So you still don't know anything. These two are already dead. You can say whatever you want. But I don't believe it. I sent people out to do the work. Among the four people, two are monitoring and two are working. They are not the same. The person behind this is really stupid."
"Humph, this one said he was a helper, and the other one was just keeping an eye on me." Ma Feihu knew a lot of things, "Now it seems that there is of course another one who is used to silence me in the end."
Zhou Chang was still skeptical: "Do you want to know who saved you, used you, and then killed you to silence you?"
"I don't want to." Ma Feihu said without hesitation.
"Oh?" Zhou Chang was surprised. "You don't believe me, or are you afraid that I will use you in return?"
Ma Feihu said nothing.
"Haha, since you don't want to know, I won't force you." Zhou Chang sneered twice, and then he came up with an idea, "Not only that, I can also give you a chance and let you live."
Ma Feihu was stunned, and then his mind raced: "Do you want to let me go and then follow me and find out the truth from me? Or do you want to find the mastermind behind this?"
"Of course not. I've already said it just now. I already know who that person is. It's you who doesn't know." Zhou Chang shook his head slowly.
Ma Feihu began to get confused, thinking that since he had failed to complete the mission and was silenced, this was definitely a dead end.
Moreover, for Prince Yi, the best outcome was to be sent to the authorities. He never expected that Zhou Chang would take the initiative to say that he would let him go.
"What? You don't want to let you go?" Zhou Chang was still thinking about his own ideas in his mind.
Ma Feihu tried his best to figure it out, but he still couldn't figure it out. "I won't let you use me. Although he wants to kill me to silence me, I'll just consider it as repaying his life-saving grace. As for the prince's decision to let me live... I'm tired. I've been used by others and have no choice. It's better to die quickly and be reborn sooner."
