Chapter 208 - Want to Kick Him
In the gloom of the dungeon, two figures huddled together in a corner.
The prison door creaked as it was unlocked. The two men looked up in horror and shrank further into the corner.
Wang Dingjun swung the whip with one hand and walked in slowly. His gaze was cold as he stared at the two of them.
“You guys sure are tough. You haven't spoken for days. It seems like you want to die.” Wang Dingjun squatted down in front of the two men and used his whip to pick up the chin of one of them.
Because he was afraid that they would bite their tongues and commit suicide, Wang Dingjun removed their jaws. At this moment, the other party was drooling. His expression was dark and filled with panic.
Their assassination attempt that day had failed. Originally, they would have died if they went back. The two of them planned to flee far away. Who would have thought that they would be captured by the people of the Crown Prince Palace before they could leave the city gates?
As professional assassins, they had failed in fear of death. Naturally, they would not fail until they confessed to their master.
If Old Prince did not have such confidence, he would not have sent the two of them.
“That's enough. I have to stay in this damn place for a few days because of you two rats. I think I might as well end it for you.” Wang Dingjun exerted his strength and a bloody hole appeared on his opponent's chin.
“Have you heard of Crown Princess's godly doctor?” Crown Princess asked. Regardless of whether the other party could answer or not, Wang Dingjun muttered to himself, “I heard that Crown Princess not only has excellent medical skills, but she also knows every part of the human body like the back of her hand.
Ling Chi is nothing. We Crown Princess can peel off the skin of the human body completely and live. Furthermore, she can let that person watch helplessly.”
Ignoring the two people's horrified eyes, Wang Dingjun said to himself, “You don't believe me? Or are you not afraid? Alright. Change it to another one. Crown Princess is best at using knives, you all know that, right?” Wang Dingjun looked at the crippled assassin with pity. “That thin knife with a knife can easily cut open a person's stomach. And then, he will take out your internal organs one by one. He will write a few grams of flowers on it and then put it back in its original place.”
You think that's it? “Of course not.” Wang Dingjun smiled. “After these moved internal organs regrow, I heard that they are like paper people. Every few days, they will feel pain. How can you describe that kind of pain?” Anyway, I have never tried not to say it, but it will definitely make life worse than death.
The prison in the Crown Prince's Palace is very sturdy. It will not be a problem for me to lock you up for thirty to fifty years. I will not kill you. I will let you live happily here for the rest of your lives. What do you think?
The two assassins shook their heads in unison. They were afraid of death, but they were even more afraid of living a life worse than death. If they had a choice, they would rather die than endure all kinds of torture.
“I really don't know what you're enduring. Could it be that if you don't tell the mastermind, the other party will send people to save you? Being too naive, you deserve to die for failing your mission. Even if the other party knows that you're useless in the crown prince's residence, he won't be able to do anything about it.”
“Don't feel that you are not loyal. Anyway, you are going to die. Shouldn't you choose a relatively easy way to die?”
“Don't waste your breath…” One of the assassins mumbled.
“That's right.” Wang Dingjun nodded and stood up. “Let's change the way to greet you.”
After walking out of the dungeon and hearing the heart-wrenching screams behind him, Wang Dingjun sighed. His Highness only gave him five days. What should he do?
On the way back to the front yard with a dark face, Wang Dingjun bumped into Zhang Chun who was about to leave. He could not help but tug at his collar and ask, “Where is Young Master Hou going?”
Zhang Chun rolled his eyes. “It's none of your business!”
“The young master's mouth is dirty. I really admire him. I just don't know where you learned your manners. Shouldn't you greet your master when you see him?”
Zhang Chun looked at him with a sneer. “You said it was in the past. It's all in the past. Why do you still remember it?”
Wang Dingjun stared at his fair and tender face. He really wanted to pinch it. This kid had been eating well recently. After a year, not only did he grow taller, but he also became much paler. His demeanor and steps made him look like a hedonistic son of a rich family.
“What has the young duke been busy with recently? He seems to be glowing.” Wang Dingjun did some calculations. This kid was about to be twelve years old. He would get married in another year.
With Crown Princess's kindness to him, she would probably pick a virtuous young lady for him.
Zhang Chun smiled modestly. “You are so busy. How can you compare to a famous person by Crown Prince's side? I heard that you have recently accepted a mission. Why do you still have time to hang around here?”
Of course, Wang Dingjun would not tell him. He came out to take a breather because he had not made any progress. “Young Master Hou's eyes are not very good. I am going out to do something. Coincidentally, I met you. That's why I stopped to say a few words.”
Wang Dingjun had an expression that said, “I'm giving you face by talking to you.” It made Zhang Chun's teeth itch with hatred.
Why did he want to kick this bastard the moment he saw him?
“I heard that Crown Prince only gave him five days. I hope Royal Brother can't do it. It's a small punishment, but it's a big loss of face. I also heard that Big Brother Hu really wants to return to Crown Prince's side as a guard. If he comes back, tsk tsk, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep your position.”
This was the truth. Compared to Wang Dingjun, Crown Prince Zhao definitely trusted Hu Jinpeng more. However, Wang Dingjun wasn't a fool. This kind of thing could never happen. Hu Jinpeng was already a great general, and he had the military power. How could he return to the Crown Prince's side as a guard?
Even if Crown Prince agreed to the Crown Prince's request, he would not agree.
“Are you trying to sow discord between General Hu and me?” Wang Dingjun did not expect this kid to be so vicious. Was it not good to see him?
“Haha, Royal Brother is worrying too much.” Zhang Chun shrugged and apologized, “I still have something to do. Excuse me.” Then he left with his men.
Wang Dingjun frowned. This kid was only twelve years old. How could he be so calm? Furthermore, he had made a fortune recently. Even Crown Princess admired his way of making money.
Currently, many of the servants in the crown prince's residence wished that they could serve the young duke. It was said that the young duke was very generous. A few days ago, he bought a horse for his personal servant. He even said that it was for him to play with. One must know that a horse could only be bought with ten gold coins or even tens of gold coins.
It was said that the servant ran to Crown Princess and said that he would serve Loyal and Brave Marquis all the time and broke Crown Princess's heart.
Wang Dingjun really wanted to sigh. Money can make ghosts grind. Was this kid used to being poor when he was young? Was that why he was so obsessed with money?
“Yes, money can make ghosts grind. Why waste energy on two people who are about to die?” Wang Dingjun thought that as long as he took out enough gold and silver, he could use the people of Ye City to search for clues for him.
Those two assassins did not appear out of nowhere. They must have eaten, drank, and walked along the road. Moreover, it was broad daylight that day, and they did not hide their faces in the crowd. Someone must have provided him with clues.
They did as they were told. Wang Dingjun went back to his room and took his private money. He left the house with his two subordinates.
He was the son of the city lord. In terms of financial resources, he was not much weaker than Loyal and Brave Marquis.
The matter progressed very quickly. On the fifth day, Wang Dingjun placed an investigation report in front of Crown Prince Zhao.
Crown Prince Zhao quickly flipped through the information and asked with a frown, “Is it a guest raised by First Prince's residence?”
“Yes, these two followed First Prince many years ago. They rarely showed themselves after that, so very few people know them.”
“Didn't First Prince go to the ancestral temple to pray for his father and the people?” Initially, King of South Jin sentenced his ancestral temple to be grounded for a month, but in the end, First Prince did not return after a month. He asked someone to bring back news that he wanted to continue to reflect on his life in the ancestral temple and pray for Royal Father and the common people while he was at it. He wanted to bless Royal Father and the common people in South Jin to live a long and healthy life.
After the news spread, everyone's impression of First Prince had improved a lot. They had forgotten about the matter of him getting jealous of Yue Lou.
“This is strange. The ancestral temple is not a place where people can enter and leave freely. How did he order the people in the mansion to do things so far away?”
Logically speaking, not even the servants could go there.
Wang Dingjun was also a little confused. “Maybe there is someone in First Prince's residence who can make the decision?”
Crown Prince Zhao nodded, as if this was the only reasonable reason.
“Continue the investigation. Wang Zixu is not a threat. However, if there are other people who are trying to do something to him in the dark, he will be able to get rid of them quickly.”
“Yes.” Wang Dingjun heaved a sigh of relief after he left the house. He had finally passed this trial. He wondered if that kid would be disappointed if he found out about it.
He laughed softly. Then, he realized that he was angry because of a child. His expression changed. He gritted his teeth and scolded himself before continuing to investigate the case.
In fact, he had also suspected Old Prince. He knew that he had a close relationship with First Prince, but he never would have thought that First Prince would hand over all the Mo guests in the manor to him. Hence, this name was forgotten by him after a short while.
