Chapter 215: Going deep into the tiger¡¯s den
Li Zhen asked: "Zhang Chao, as long as you tell who is the mastermind behind the scenes, I will spare your life, and I will not harm your family."
Zhang Chao smiled sadly and said: "Your Highness, I, Zhang Chao, have been following you for several years and have been favored by Your Highness, but in turn I assassinated Your Highness. Even if Your Highness doesn't kill me, how can your subordinates let me go? Even if they let me go. , how can I, Zhang Chao, survive in this world?"
"Your Highness, Zhang Chao's life has been ruined by gambling. I have no face to see you again. I just want to die quickly!"
Li Zhen's heart trembled, Zhang Chao was his confidant, and he had always regarded him as a good brother.
The reason why he turned against the enemy and assassinated him, and was instigated by outsiders, must be because he had something to hide.
Although I want to let him go, assassinating myself is a serious crime. If I let Zhang Chao go, how can I convince the public in the future?
"Your Highness, if you eat a dog that crawls inside and outside like this, kill him!" Several guards were also itching with hatred.
Zhang Chao just killed two guards with his own hands, which made all the guards want to kill Zhang Chao directly.
"Hehehehe"
Zhang Chao laughed and rushed towards the direction of Li Zhen.
"How dare you, thief!"
flutter!
" Two horizontal knives pierced Zhang Chao's back from behind at the same time and came out. Zhang Chao spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.
Li Zhen couldn't help but sigh and was speechless for a long time.
Since the time he traveled through time, Zhang Chao has been his guard captain. Over the years, he has been following him around, and he has regarded him as a confidant. He really can't imagine why he would betray him.
"We must find out the main messenger behind Zhang Chao." Li Zhen said.
"Your Highness, what should I do with the body?"
"Let his family come and collect the body."
When Li Zhen said this, she felt very sad. Originally, it was a very happy thing for her to go mountain climbing on the Double Ninth Festival, but she did not expect that she would be assassinated.
This Cuihua Mountain is near Chang'an. Who has the courage to assassinate himself near Chang'an City, the current prince?
It seems that someone is still plotting against him secretly.
I originally thought that since Changsun Chong was driven out of Chang'an and Changsun Wuji was seriously ill, he would be fine. Now it seems that this idea itself is wrong.
The secret opponent wants to kill him. As for who this secret opponent is, Li Zhen doesn't know.
Is it Changsun Wuji?
Or is there someone else?
It¡¯s easy to hide from open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows!
Who is the person who secretly wants to assassinate me
The assassination of the prince was a matter of great importance. After Li Shimin learned the news, he immediately ordered the Ministry of Punishment to investigate the matter thoroughly.
However, after repeated investigations, this murder case eventually became an unsolved case.
Li Zhen had already been mentally prepared for this. The secret opponent must have been fully prepared. How could he leave any clues for the people in the Criminal Department to solve the case?
¡° Moreover, whether the people in the Ministry of Punishment are reliable is another question.
No matter who is behind the assassination, one thing should be noted, that is, you must pay attention to safety and never go out alone in public to give the enemy an opportunity.
In the Prince's Mansion, Li Zhen was sitting on a chair, squinting her eyes slightly, thoughtfully.
Nina stood beside him. Since Zhang Chao's death, Nina became the captain of Li Zhen's guard.
"Your Highness, all thirteen members of Zhang Chao's family were killed after Zhang Chao's accident. No one took Zhang Chao's body away, and it was left in the wilderness."
"I didn't expect that Zhang Chao would end up like this. Even the whole family could not be saved. He just followed me and buried him in a coffin." Li Zhen sighed and said.
"Your Highness, according to our investigation, Zhang Chao went to gambling houses many times to gamble and spend huge sums of money, but in the end he lost all his money. As a captain of the guard, he cannot be so rich, so there must be someone behind him to provide him with money. "
"I remember Zhang Chao said before he died that his whole life was ruined by gambling. Come to think of it, someone must have set up a trap for him to gamble. When he is in debt, he will blackmail him to betray me. As long as the person who set up the trap for Zhang Chao is found People, then you can follow the clues and find the person behind the scenes." Li Zhen said.
"It's just that now that Zhang Chao is dead, I'm afraid the person behind the scenes won't show up easily." Li Zhen added.
"If they don't show up, then we'll make them show up. Your Highness, I have a way to bring out the people behind the scenes." NiNa said.
"Do you have any idea?" Li Zhen frowned, not understanding what Nina meant.
"If I also go gambling, do you think they will treat me as the second Zhang Chao?" Nina said with a smile.
"No, how can I let you take risks?" Li Zhen shook her head repeatedly.
"Your Highness, this is our only chance." Nina said.
Li Zhen stood up, looked at Nina with deep eyes, gently held Nina's hand and said, "I don't want you to put yourself in danger. If you are really in danger, I will feel uneasy. "
Nina¡¯s eyes showed emotion and she whispered: ¡°Nina is willing to die for the Crown Prince.¡±
"I don't want you to die, I want you to live, I want you to stay with me."
"Your Highness, let Nina go. If the person behind the scenes is not found out, the enemy in the dark will definitely try to kill you again. We must let the enemy in the dark dig it out."
"Please let Nina share your worries for Your Highness!"
"If you insist on going, then the two of us will go together." Li Zhen said.
¡°No, it¡¯s too dangerous, and the prince is rich, how can he get involved in danger?¡±
"You are very skilled in martial arts, and I have a musket. The two of us are together, it is double insurance, and I also have trump cards, so there will never be any danger." Li Zhen smiled slightly, with a nice arc at the corner of his mouth
The night is dark, and Chang'an City is still bustling with people.
Zuixiaolou, the largest night entertainment venue in Chang'an.
There are occasional gladiatorial fights here, and each fight can attract the attention of countless people.
As for normal times, it is the largest gambling house in Chang'an City.
The gambling game at Zuixiaolou is very big, with at least one guan of money every time. In this era, an ordinary family only spends four guan of money a year, and one guan of money is a big bet.
However, this is only the minimum bet at Zuixiaolou. In fact, many people who come to Zuixiaolou spend a lot of money.
In an elegant room on the second floor of Foxiao Building, a fat middle-aged man looked at a gambling table outside, his eyes narrowed.
"That woman has won seven times in a row. She must have won a lot." The middle-aged man said.
"Shopkeeper Qin, according to your instructions, we have made her win seven times in a row. He has won hundreds of coins now." A thin man said.
"It's interesting that the new captain of the Prince's Guard actually came to Zuixiao Tower to gamble." Shopkeeper Qin said.
"Shopkeeper, this is the second Zhang Chao, we must not let this opportunity pass by."
"Well, let her lose again next time, and let her lose completely!"
