Chapter 411: Diverting the Trouble to the East
Capital, a luxurious mansion!
In one of the spacious rooms, there were more than a dozen women under the age of twenty, their faces pale and trembling.
They only wore bellybands and underpants, revealing large areas of white and greasy skin.
Each one of them is extremely beautiful!
Each of them has an apple on their head.
Opposite him, a fat young man wearing only obscene clothes and underpants was holding a big bow.
Bend the bow and set the arrow, and draw the bow to a full circle.
Whoosh! ! !
A sharp arrow shot out, pierced the apple on a woman's head, flew out and was nailed to the wall.
The wall is riddled with holes, and the small holes left by arrows are densely packed. It can be seen that this is not the first time for the fat and white young man to do this?
The woman's eyes were so frightened that her whole body was shaking like chaff.
The fat young man smiled sinisterly, "What good luck!"
As he spoke, he bent his bow and nocked an arrow again.
"Master!"
A middle-aged man wearing smart clothes and an oval figure walked in.
Whoosh! ! !
The sharp arrow in the hand of the fat white young man shot out.
Perhaps influenced by the middle-aged man's voice, the arrow missed the target and hit the woman's chest directly.
The woman screamed and fell down!
The other women were scared to death.
The fat young man's face darkened and he turned to look at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man's expression changed drastically, he knelt down and said in panic: "This slave deserves to die!"
The fat young man walked over with a big bow, swung it round and hit the middle-aged man.
Hit it more than ten times in a row.
The middle-aged man's head was bruised and bleeding, but he didn't dare to move.
The fat young man dropped the blood-stained bow, walked over, picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said, "Tell me? What do you want from me?"
The middle-aged man hesitated and looked at the women.
The fat young man smiled and said, "It's okay, just tell me!"
The middle-aged man said hurriedly: "Ning Chen went to the Sixth Prince's Mansion."
The fat young man was startled for a moment, then grinned and said proudly: "It seems that my trick of diverting trouble to the east has worked."
"They say Ning Chen is witty and smart, but in my opinion, he is as stupid as a pig."
"The next step is to kill someone with a borrowed knife...inform the right minister and ask him to also visit the sixth prince."
The middle-aged man bowed his head, "Yes!"
The fat young man put down his tea cup and walked outside. When he passed the middle-aged man, he made a gesture of wiping his neck with his hand.
The middle-aged man understood and meant to silence these women. This was not the first time he had done this.
What a pity that there are so many beautiful beauties!
The fat young man walked outside and muttered: "I'm tired of playing, it's time to change the batch!"
"It's better to be an emperor, with three thousand beauties in the harem... It's a pity that my father is a useless old man, not good at women, and let those beauties waste their years in vain."
...
On the other side, Ning Chen came out of the Sixth Prince's Mansion.
It's getting late!
He sent the Ninth Princess back to the palace, and then rode Diao Chan to Ning Mansion.
On the horseback, Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.
He was reviewing what happened today from meeting the Sixth Prince to now.
He always felt that the Sixth Prince did not look like a treacherous person.
Some things are deep in his bones. The Sixth Prince obviously thinks of himself as a nerd!
Ning Chen had observed his eyes. What could he say about the eyes of the Sixth Prince? It’s the clarity that reveals the stupidity.
Is he really the person behind the right prime minister?
If the Sixth Prince's performance today was just an act, then he would be at a disadvantage...because there was no trace of acting at all.
When they were approaching Ning Mansion, a person suddenly walked out of the alley next to him.
Ning Chen was thinking about something and was startled.
The person who came was silent.
"I've met the Marquis!"
Ning Chen waved his hand, "You are looking for me at this time, but what's the important thing?"
Nod silently.
"Someone is secretly watching the Marquis."
Ning Chen was not surprised. There were too many people watching him secretly... hawkers walking in the streets, ordinary people passing by, anyone could be a spy.
He is currently in the limelight, and it is normal for people to stare at him... Moreover, it is difficult to find all of these people, and even if they are found, new ones will appear.
But Shen Mo came to him specifically. He must have discovered something?
Ning Chen looked at the silence and said, "Continue talking."
Silence said: "The people who are watching the Marquis this time are very professional. They watched the Marquis enter the Sixth Prince's Mansion, and then flew pigeons to pass the message."
"You intercepted the carrier pigeon?"
Ning Chen asked.
He knew that Shen Shen had a hawk in his hands...the hawk catches the doves and catches them accurately.
Nodding silently, "Yes!"
Ning Chen suddenly became interested, "Do you have a secret message?"
"Yes, there is only one word on it."
"What word?"
"The word 'appropriate'."
Ning Chen was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Okay? Does that mean everything goes well?"
She silently shook her head and said simply: "I don't know!"
Ning Chen asked curiously: "If you intercept the pigeons like this, there won't be any problems, right?"
Silently shook his head, "There are too many variables when flying pigeons deliver messages! Pigeons have too many natural enemies, and they are easily captured by people, and may also be lured away by other pigeons... Therefore, generally, when flying pigeons deliver messages, at least two pigeons will be released. , it’s normal to lose one.”
Ning Chen nodded slightly.
"You intercepted one, where did the other fly to?"
Silence hesitated for a moment and said: "The Fifth Prince's Mansion!"
Ning Chen was startled, "Are you sure?"
"uncertain."
"Um?"
Silence said: "The pigeon flew near the Fifth Prince's Mansion and disappeared. It is also possible that the pigeon was intercepted by others, or it may have encountered a natural enemy."
Ning Chen frowned slightly and his eyes flickered.
"Okay, I understand! Is there anything else?"
Silence shook his head.
Ning Chen said: "You can do something for me again and send someone to keep an eye on the Sixth Prince's Mansion to see if anyone will visit the Sixth Prince in the next few days?"
"yes!"
Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.
The fifth prince told him that dragon herb was added to the snacks.
He immediately found a small piece of snack mixed with dragon herb in the secret room of Yayuan.
Then he followed Long Xiangxiang's clues and found the sixth prince.
All of this seemed like someone was deliberately directing the clues to the Sixth Prince.
If the right minister secretly visits the Sixth Prince tomorrow and then pretends to be accidentally discovered by him, then he can be sure... someone wants to divert trouble to the east.
Ning Chen looked at Shen Mo and said, "One more thing. Send someone to watch the fifth prince for me."
Nodding silently, "Yes!"
Ning Chen frowned and said: "The day after tomorrow I will be on a mission to the Kingdom of Wu. I am not in the capital, and the people behind the scenes will definitely be more active... I was able to find out the right minister last time when I left the capital, and I will definitely be able to find out the people behind him this time. people."
After separating from Shen Mo, Ning Chen returned to Ning Mansion on Diao Chan.
"Ning Lang is back?"
Ning Chen nodded slightly.
Yudie took the coat that Ning Chen took off and asked with some worry: "Ning Lang, how is Sister Zisu doing?"
"Don't worry, I'll send someone to keep an eye on it. There won't be any problem."
Yudie nodded slightly, "Then I'll have someone prepare hot water for Ning Lang to take a bath."
Ning Chen hummed and suddenly asked: "Yu Die, do you think a person can pretend to be stupid for more than ten years?"
Yudie was startled for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Okay! Because it's difficult to pretend to be smart, and it's easy to be seen through. But it's very easy to pretend to be stupid, just pretend to be honest, simple, and ignorant of the world. !”
"Moreover, everyone sympathizes with the weak and will not doubt him easily."
