Chapter 1445 Borrowing a Knife
At noon the next day, Guo Changwu came to Shanzhentang Pharmacy again. Wang Kuang led him to the back hall and poured him a cup of hot tea, "I have heard about the former prince."

Guo Changwu lifted his spirits and asked, "Where does he live?"

"He lives in the Qujiang Bieyuan. If you want to assassinate him, you don't have to go to the Qujiang Bieyuan. You can go to Dayun Temple. He is a layman in the monastery, and his dharma name is Qingyang layman."

"Are you sure?" Guo Changwu was a little skeptical. How could it be possible to inquire in such detail in just one day?

Wang Kuang nodded, "There is nothing wrong, he is an important person that the emperor ordered us to pay attention to, and we have been following him."

Guo Changwu believed it, the emperor must be very concerned about this person, otherwise he would not allow himself to assassinate him.

"Where is the monastery? How can I find him?"

Wang Kuang took out a map, "Dayun Temple is located on the east bank of Qujiang Pond, and it is easy to find. This is the map of Dayun Temple. Have you seen it? The northwest corner is the layman's courtyard. You can find him there."

"How can I tell him?"

"It's easy. Laymen also have ranks. He is the second rank. He wears a dark brown layman's robe. There are only two people in the entire layman's house wearing dark brown layman's robes. The other is an old man with a white beard. He is in his 30s, with pale skin and a good physique. The thin man is he."

He quickly left Dayun Temple without looking back, no one was following him, which made him feel very relieved, he did not expect to succeed so easily.

Guo Changwu took the map and walked away. Wang Kuang looked at his back with complicated eyes. He didn't understand why the inner guard wanted to make a fake show.Of course, he also knew that the inner defender could not decide this matter.

Chen Qing said coldly again: "Remember, apart from the three of us, no fourth person will know the truth!"

It wasn't until this moment that Guo Changwu faintly realized that he had fallen into the opponent's trap.

Guo Changwu walked into the layman's courtyard and saw dozens of laymen sitting in the lobby chanting scriptures. He saw his target at a glance, a male layman sitting on the farthest side, in his thirties, with a pale face and a thin body. Wearing a dark brown lay robe, with his eyes slightly closed, he knocked on the wooden fish and chanted devoutly.

Zhao Chen grunted and fell limply.

The former crown prince, Zhao Chen, was indeed among the monks. His dharma name was Qingyang layman. He was of a high rank and could wear dark brown layman robes.

Guo Changwu got up and walked quickly, walked out of the residence, only to hear a commotion inside, someone shouted: "Go find the abbot!"

Chen Qing nodded, "Let the "Beijing News" report this matter immediately, we must let this Guo Changwu speak up, explain everything, kill this case, and then send someone to take Shanzhentang, explain it clearly to Wang Kuang, and give him My son has title and wealth, he must take this responsibility for me."

Zhao Chen leaned slightly and said, "I'm Qingyang Layman, I dare not call him a mage!"

"it is good!"

"Humble post obeys orders!"

There are also inner guards to protect the safety of their whole family, but the inner guards are several female guards who protect the safety of his wife and children in his mansion. There are no inner guards in Dayun Temple, and there is no need for them. Layman is top-secret information, only no more than five people know about it, even his wife only knows that he is a layman in a monastery, but they don't know which monastery he is in or what his name is. Only the abbot in the whole monastery knows his identity.

"Thank you!"

Zhong Huan quickly judged that Guo Changwu had nothing on him, and even if he was shot, his identity could not be found out. If he wanted to leave Jingzhao, he would definitely return to the inn.

Back at the inn, Guo Changwu tidied up a bit and went out. Not long after he left for Dayun Temple, Chong Huan came to his guest room. He saw the side of Guo Changwu who had learned his lesson, locked his hands and feet, and tied a Hair, he knew any door was opened, and Zhong Huan entered the room directly through the window.

As an assassin, Guo Changwu is still unqualified, and even his IQ has not passed the test. If Zhao Chen is so easy to assassinate, why would the emperor of Jin send him?Just let the people at the intelligence station do it.

Guo Changwu covered Zhao Chen's mouth with one hand, and pulled the hanging knife, 'Puff! ’A poisonous arrow hit Zhao Chen in the back.

He came to the door of his room and touched the lock with his hand. His hair was still there. He opened the door with confidence. As soon as he entered the door, an inner guard soldier fell from the sky and threw him down from behind. Four inner guards rushed up, pinned him tightly, tied his hands and feet, tied his mouth with a rope, so that he could not chew his tongue, covered his head with a black cloth bag, and carried him directly downstairs.

The Dayun Temple is very close to the inn, only two or three miles away. Guo Changwu bought a gray layman's robe with only one piece of silver in the shop outside the temple, pretended to be a layman, and walked straight into the Dayun Temple. The map, and soon found the Lay House in the northwest corner, where more than [-] lay people lived, participated in a month-long ritual, and ate fast and recited Buddha every day.

The inner guards deployed the most sophisticated tracking methods. They intercepted the ox carts and horse carts heading for Qinzhoumen Street. There were only three ox carts passing by the entrance of Shanzhen Hall. Guo Changwu stopped the second one. The driver was a bearded man. Bai's hunched old man made Guo Changwu lose his vigilance, and he went directly to the inn outside the city.

Assassinating Zhao Chen itself is easy, but finding him is difficult, like finding a needle in a haystack, unless it is to instigate Wang Hao, but Guo Changwu obviously did not think of this.

Guo Changwu hurried back to the inn. For the convenience of the assassination, he didn't carry anything with him. Although the assassination was convenient, it was inconvenient to leave. His wallet, sword, scholar certificate, identity certificate, and horses were all in the inn.

At noon the next day, the "Beijing News" published important news on the front page. The former prince Zhao Chen was assassinated by Jin Guo assassins at the age of 34. At present, both the assassin and the Jin Guo intelligence spies were arrested by the inner guards. They confessed and confessed. The assassination plan was originally to assassinate King Yong, but King Yong's defenses were tight, and they were unable to strike. Instead, they attacked the former Song Dynasty prince who was lax in defense.

With his left hand chanting sutras and his right hand holding the short crossbow in his robe, he walked slowly, sat down behind Zhao Chen, and asked in a low voice, "Are you Master Qingyang?"

Chong Huan said sadly: "The opponent's poisonous arrow is very overbearing, the former prince died on the spot, there is no way to save him!"

After completing the task, he was eager to leave Jingzhao City.

Wang Hao and Zhong Huan hurried to King Yong's office and reported the details to Chen Qing. Chen Qing asked, "How is the situation of the former crown prince?"

The house was tidy and there was nothing there, but a bag was found beside the bed, which contained laundry and a change of clothes, a testimonial from the Yanshan Prefecture Imperial Examination Scholars, dozens of taels of silver, a piece of identity silver medal, and a sword. There are saddles and bags.

Even the assassin's background is fully introduced. Assassin Guo Changwu, the nephew of Guo Wei, a wealthy family in Jizhou on Yanshan Road, Guo Wei was suspected of rebellion and was suppressed. Guo Changwu escaped. , sneaked into Jingzhao again to carry out the assassination plan, and with the assistance of Jin Guo intelligence spies, assassinated the former prince Zhao Chen.

The inner guard even found the assassination order of the Emperor of Jin, with all the witnesses and material evidence, the crime is unforgivable, King Yong approved the public beheading.

Three days later, Guo Changwu was put on the guillotine and publicly beheaded in front of 10,000+ people on Zhuque Street in Jingzhao City.

Seven days later, Lin'an's "Beijing News" also reported in detail the news that the former prince Zhao Chen was assassinated by Jin Guo assassins, but this news did not cause a sensation in Lin'an. After all, there are not many people interested in an outdated prince. up.
