Chapter 163 A Gift for Pei Zhanzhou
Liu Cheng had a face full of flesh and a sleek appearance. He did not look like a death row inmate who had been sentenced to beheading, nor did he look like a prisoner whose personal freedom had been restricted.
At this moment, seeing three people who were obviously ill-intentioned suddenly appear in front of him, Liu Cheng was so scared that his face turned pale and his whole body was shaking.
He climbed out of bed with his hands and feet, not even having time to put on his shoes, and ran to the door in a hurry, "Help..."
Seeing that he was about to run to the door, Jiang Yi raised his foot and kicked the man back. The fat body rolled on the ground for several times and was finally pinned to the ground by Jiang Er.
Liu Cheng's face was filled with terror, and he yelled at the top of his lungs, "Help! Help!"
He shouted several times until his voice broke, but no one came in.
If her superpowers had not recovered before, Jiang Wansang would naturally not be so bold, but now her superpowers are not much different from the peak period of her previous life. As long as the door is not opened, no sound can be heard from the house.
When Liu Cheng finally realized the reality, Jiang Wansang slowly walked over and squatted in front of him. "If you don't want to die, answer my questions."
Liu Cheng turned pale with fright, with cold sweat on his forehead. He nodded without hesitation after hearing this.
Seeing this, Jiang Wansang asked, "Why did the prince lock you up?"
Liu Cheng was stunned for a moment, then reacted instantly, "I didn't betray the Third Prince. My loyalty to him is evident to all, and I truly didn't betray him!"
Obviously, he thought Jiang Wansang and the other two were people sent by the Third Prince to silence them.
Jiang Wansang didn't want to waste time talking to him. She pulled out her dagger and stabbed it into Liu Cheng's thigh without hesitation. Her voice was icy, "Answer whatever I ask."
Liu Cheng screamed in pain and wanted to faint on the spot, but after hearing Jiang Wansang's words, he didn't even dare to faint. He cried with tears and snot and nodded to show that he understood.
Jiang Wansang's voice was calm, and it was hard to tell whether she was a man or a woman. She asked the same question again.
This time, Liu Cheng didn't dare delay even a moment and immediately told what he knew: "The Crown Prince wants to find the other half of the account book, and he also wants me to come forward and identify the Third Prince at the right time, so he has been keeping me here."
The reason is similar to what Jiang Wansang guessed.
Now it seems that Liu Cheng is very likely to become a key chess piece in the battle between the Crown Prince, the Third Prince and Su Huanyu, and he will definitely be useful to Pei Zhanzhou.
After a moment's thought, Jiang Wansang came up with a plan in mind.
She pulled out the dagger that was stuck in Liu Cheng's thigh, and when he was about to scream in pain, she knocked him unconscious with a palm.
"Jiang Yi, go to the mass grave and find a male corpse. Jiang Er, go get some tung oil and firewood. Don't alarm the people outside."
Jiang Wansang gave the instructions quickly, and Jiang Yi and Jiang Er immediately went to do it without any hesitation or questioning.
This is the suburbs, not far from the mass grave. With Jiang Yi's ability, it won't take him long to go back and forth.
They were indeed very fast. They completed their tasks and returned in less than a quarter of an hour. The whole process did not alarm the guards outside.
Afterwards, Jiang Yi took the unconscious Liu Cheng away, while Jiang Wansang and Jiang Er quietly placed tung oil and firewood in every corner of the courtyard.
As a fire starter fell, a flame suddenly ignited in the corner of the courtyard under the night sky, attracting everyone's attention.
As soon as everyone discovered the fire, they saw the flames spreading at an extremely fast speed. Then a gust of wind blew up from somewhere, instantly making the flames even more intense.
"Fire...fire! Put out the fire!"
By the time everyone reacted and thought of putting out the fire, the flames had completely engulfed the room where Liu Cheng lived.
The guards knew very well how important the people living inside were to their masters, and they didn't care how big the fire was as they rushed in, even the secret guards came out from the shadows.
But as soon as they approached, a sudden wind blade cut off the head of the person in front. If the people behind had not reacted quickly, they would have been beheaded by now.
This sudden change shocked everyone. They all drew their weapons and looked around vigilantly, "Who is it? Come out!"
All they got in response was endless darkness and the sound of raging fire.
No one answered, and no one appeared, as if the person who attacked in secret had disappeared.
But when anyone tried to approach the room where Liu Cheng was, their heads would be chopped off by the invisible wind blade.
These people could not feel the existence of the wind blade at all, they just instinctively sensed the danger. They had no idea how the person behind them did it, and they did not dare to approach the room again.
Only after the fire completely engulfed the room and Jiang Wansang was sure that even if someone went in at the risk of their life, they would not be able to find out whether the body was Liu Cheng's, did she leave quietly.
The reason why she stayed and made a noise was not only to prevent people from discovering that the body inside was not Liu Cheng, but also to let people know that what happened tonight was not an accident, but someone came specifically to silence her.
He came here specifically to assassinate Liu Cheng. I believe that with the prince's intelligence, he will definitely think of the third prince. At that time, the two brothers will inevitably fight.
Jiang Wansang felt that he was such a clever kid as he could add fuel to the fire while completing the task!
Jiang Yi and Jiang Er still had other tasks to complete, so Jiang Wansang left the unconscious Liu Cheng to Lin Tong.
Lin Tong is now Jiang Wansang's personal bodyguard. Normally, he should always follow her, but Jiang Wansang has a lot of important things to do tonight, so she asked him to meet her from a distance. Now he comes in handy.
"Give this man to Pei Zhanzhou and tell him that he is a gift from me. Tell him to make good use of it."
Lin Tong was originally feeling a little resentful because Jiang Wansang didn't take her on the mission, but after hearing this, all her resentment instantly dissipated and her eyes lit up.
"Don't worry, Miss. I will definitely convey your message!"
This "gift" must have been specially prepared by the young lady for the Imperial Master! Even when she was busy with such an important matter, she was still thinking about the Imperial Master. He must convey the young lady's thoughts accurately!
Jiang Wansang: "..."
Why did she feel that Lin Tong's sudden energy looked so scary?
Jiang Wansang quickly shook her head, getting rid of this inexplicable thought from her head.
She had a lot of things to do and no time to think about this mess.
Jiang Wansang gathered her thoughts and headed straight towards where Jiang Si was.
Although Yuntian Villa is a gang organization, it is located in Nansu, far away from the imperial city, and it takes a day to get there by carriage.
But Jiang Wansang had special abilities, and she arrived at Yuntian Villa in more than an hour, before it was even daybreak.
Jiang Wansang arrived at the right time. Jiang Si was pointing his weapon at the owner of Yuntian Villa, full of hatred and determination, ready to take his life.
