The Return of the Demon

Chapter 606 Prince Duan Is Not Dead

Ding Qian's face was full of horror, and he said in a trembling voice: "I, I will tell you, I will tell you everything."

"It's my cousin. He asked me to spend a lot of money to bribe Li Gui, Wang Bo and others to slander the prince's reputation."

Ning Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, "Who is your cousin?"

"The steward of the Taiwei Mansion, Li Tianfu."

Ning Chen and Geng Jing looked at each other and realized that the mastermind behind this incident was indeed the Taiwei.

"Old Geng, go to the Taiwei Mansion yourself to arrest people."

Geng Jing nodded without any hesitation, turned around and left quickly.

Ning Chen looked at Ding Qian and said calmly: "Continue talking."

Ding Qian said tremblingly: "This little person knows only so much."

Ning Chen's face darkened, "It seems you don't want the other fingers anymore."

Ding Qian turned pale with fright and broke into a cold sweat.

"Your Majesty, please spare your life, Your Majesty, please spare your life... My cousin just asked the villain to find a few reliable people to slander your reputation. The other villains really don't know."

Ning Chen said coldly: "Then tell me why you appeared at the door of the medical center?"

Ding Qian said tremblingly: "My cousin asked me to keep an eye on the woman named Zisu and determine her daily route to and from the hospital and the prince."

Ning Chen's eyes darkened, "What then?"

Ding Qian shook his head, "The villain is only responsible for watching, and I don't know about the rest!"

Ning Chen frowned slightly. It seemed that Ding Qian was just a minion, and the key person was Li Tianfu.

"Jiang Daniu, take him down and keep him under strict supervision!"

"yes!"

...

In the evening, Geng Jing came back and successfully brought back Li Tianfu.

Li Tianfu is a fat man in his forties.

"Common man Li Tianfu, please see the prince!"

"Li Tianfu, do you know Ding Qian?"

Li Tianfu thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Go back to the prince, I don't know you!"

Ning Chen sneered and asked someone to bring Ding Qian.

"Ding Qian, do you know him?"

Ding Qian looked at Li Tianfu and shook his head slightly, "I don't know him!"

Ning Chen's expression changed slightly, "Ding Qian, can you see clearly, he is not your cousin?"

Ding Qian shook his head, "No!"

Ning Chen stared at Fatty Bai, "What's your name and what do you do for a living?"

"Li Tianfu, a common man, is the steward of Taiwei Mansion."

Ning Chen and Geng Jing looked at each other... they had the same identity, but they were not the same person.

"Ding Qian, look carefully. Is he your cousin?"

Ding Qian said tremblingly: "Although he has the same name, I am sure that he is not his cousin... My cousin is thin."

Ning Chen frowned, "Li Tianfu, how long have you been working in the Taiwei Mansion?"

Li Tianfu leaned over and said: "Back to the prince, I have been in the Taiwei Mansion for more than ten years."

Geng Jing walked up to Ning Chen and lowered his voice: "I asked the servants of the Taiwei Mansion to confirm his identity and saw his certificate. It is indeed Li Tianfu, the steward of the Taiwei Mansion."

Ning Chen rubbed his eyebrows, "So, Ding Qian's cousin is someone else... Maybe Ding Qian lied, or maybe these two are acting."

Geng Jing shook his head, "It's unlikely that they are acting. Since they are cousins, their relationship is not difficult to check... I think Ding Qian is more likely to lie."

Ning Chen nodded slightly, "Take the person to the Supervision Department and let Lao Pan interrogate him again."

Geng Jing sighed and said: "This time my opponent is unusual... It seems that we two have to go to the palace to apologize."

Ning Chen smiled bitterly, "Let's interrogate this Ding Qian tomorrow."

"Then I'll take him back to the Supervision Department first."

"Wait a minute, I'll ask Yudie to draw a portrait."

Ning Chen asked Yu Die to be found, and based on Ding Qian's description, he drew a picture of his cousin.

After Ding Qian confirmed it, Ning Chen held the portrait and smiled bitterly, "This Li Tianfu is completely different from the Li Tianfu in front of me."

Ning Chen handed the portrait to Geng Jing and asked the detectives from the Supervision Department to find this person.

Geng Jing took Ding Qian away, and Li Tianfun and Ning Chen also let him go back.

Ning Chen walked out of the front hall, looked at Xie Siyu who was showing off with a sword on the roof, and said: "Senior brother Xie, let the disciples in the sect keep an eye on the fat man who just left."

Xie Siyu nodded, "Okay!"

Ning Chen asked someone to call Gu Yichun and ask him to go to the Ning'an Army camp, and asked Yue Congyun to lead a hundred Ning'an troops back home.

"Jiang Daniu, bring a few good men and protect Zi Su secretly."

"yes!"

After the arrangements were made, Ning Chen returned to the front hall.

He frowned and felt inexplicably irritable. He always felt that something big was going to happen? But I can't get a clue.

Now that he is in the limelight and has overwhelming power, it is unreasonable for the Taiwei to jump out to seize power at this time.

When he was demoted to a commoner, the Taiwei didn't do anything. To jump out at this time was not in line with the behavior of a veteran official.

...

It's getting late.

Outside the capital, a thin salesman walked into a small farmyard carrying a load.

The salesman placed the load under the eaves and walked into a room.

The furnishings in the room are extremely simple.

The salesman closed the door, lit the oil lamp, and walked to the cabinet against the wall.

He reached out and tugged on the rope on the cabinet.

After waiting for a while, the cabinet door suddenly opened.

The salesman walked directly into the cabinet and closed the door.

There is a secret room behind this cabinet.

There were four people in the secret room, including a middle-aged man with an extraordinary bearing. There was also an old man with sloppy clothes, sunken eye sockets and pale skin.

The other two, all dressed in black, with ferocious black masks on their faces, holding sharp blades, stood in the corner, hiding in the shadows.

The peddler stepped forward quickly and knelt on one knee, "Meet the master!"

The middle-aged man with extraordinary demeanor slowly turned around.

If Ning Chen was here, he would definitely drop his jaw, because this person was the dead Prince Duan.

Prince Duan raised his hand, "Get up and talk!"

"Thank you, master!" The peddler stood up and said respectfully: "Master, Ding Qian was caught."

Prince Duan narrowed his eyes and smiled lightly: "It's worthy of Ning Chen, he was caught so quickly... earlier than I expected."

"Master, do you want to..."

The peddler looked sinister and made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Prince Duan smiled and shook his head, "No, he's just a small follower... His role is to help me delay time. The longer Ning Chen spends on him, the better it is for me!"

"Look, is my current appearance and behavior different from the one above?"

The peddler leaned over and said, "I haven't seen the one above."

"Your Highness, it's time to apply the medicine!"

The sloppy old man next to him spoke, his voice was sharp and piercing, like a dog scratching the door, making people feel annoyed.

Prince Duan nodded, walked over and lay down on the small bed next to him.

The sloppy old man brought over a red lacquer tray, which was full of bottles and jars.

He poured out various potions from it, evenly applied them on Prince Duan's face, and then wrapped it with gauze, leaving only the eyes, nose and mouth exposed.

"Ghost doctor, how long will it take?"

The sloppy old man said, "You can have surgery tomorrow. Within a month, the prince will completely become the one above."
