Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 338
"Sanlang, do you think someone will assassinate the queen during the Qianqiu Festival?" Jin Ren asked subconsciously tapping the armrest of the seat with his knuckles: "Are you sure it's true?"

"Brother Renshou, there is only one way to confirm that this kind of thing is true, and that is after it happens!" Wang Wenzuo said in a deep voice, "But by then, it will be too late!"

"That's true!" Jin Renwen nodded, "It's already dark and the palace gates are locked, so we'll go into the palace tomorrow morning and report everything to His Majesty!"

"Brother Renshou, have you considered what the consequences will be if you do this?"

"as a result of?"

"If we report the matter like this, what do you think the queen will do?" Wang Wenzuo said, "It must be a big prison. People who are not in harmony will be implicated, and they will be wiped out."

"Well, that's true. According to Empress Wu's usual actions, she is indeed likely to do this!" Jin Ren asked and nodded in agreement: "But what does this have to do with us? The Holy One should reward us heavily, and Sanlang, you are in the middle of the court. There is no one there, right? Don't forget, if you and I don't report it immediately, if it is revealed in the future, we will not be able to get rid of the suspicion!"

Wang Wenzuo was taken aback when he heard the words. He didn't expect Jin Renwen to be so cold-blooded at this time, but there was nothing strange about it. No matter how popular Jin Renwen was in Chang'an, after all, he belonged to the royal family of Silla, and he was on par with the court. There is no stake, and naturally there will be no personal pain for the impending prison.

"There's really no harm now, what about afterward?"

"Afterwards? What happened afterward?"

"The empress will take this opportunity to cut off dissidents, but after all, paper can't contain anger, and it will eventually be revealed afterward. These people are all meritorious ministers, and there must be many people who complained for them. What will happen then?"

"Saburo is saying that we will be handed over as scapegoats?" Jin Ren asked.

"It's me, not us!" Wang Wenzuo pointed to Jin Ren and asked, "Brother Renshou, you have a special status, so you shouldn't be implicated. It's hard for me to say!"

"There is indeed such a possibility!" Jin Renwen pondered for a moment: "But this is too far away, right? By that time, the crown prince may have succeeded to the throne. With the crown prince around, you will be fine!"

"Who knows what will happen to the prince at that time!" Wang Wenzuo sighed: "Brother Renshou, if you do this anyway, there will be endless troubles!"

"Then what are you going to do? Do you want someone to kill that kid? This is also a way. Anyway, there is no proof of death. Although it is not as good as the previous method, it is also a way out!"

"kill him?"

"Yes, in fact, no matter which way out, this Wu Xiaoyi is a dead end. It is nothing more than us doing it or the jailer doing it. He can suffer less if we do it!" Jin Renwen sighed: "I also know that he is Chu. The younger generation of Pu She, but the matter has come to this point, there is no way out for anyone, in the final analysis, it is his own choice to fall into today's situation."

Wang Wenzuo thought for a long time, but finally he had to admit that Jin Renwen was right. From the moment Wu Xiaoyi mentioned the assassination plan, he actually had no choice.

"Okay, I'll ask that kid again to see if I can find another way!"

"It's fine, but it can't be delayed beyond tonight!" Jin Renwen patted Wang Wenzuo's shoulder: "At times like this, you can't be soft-hearted!"

When Wang Wenzuo walked out of the room, he could feel Jin Renwen's gaze resting on his back. He didn't like this feeling. Really, everyone thought Chang'an was the center of the universe, but in Wang Wenzuo's view, this city was just a piece of land. The big swamp is calm on the surface, but a ferocious mouth may emerge at any time and drag you into the bottomless abyss. He really misses Baekje, even if he is in the open air with a saddle on his head and a cloak wrapped around him, he can still fall asleep soundly.

"You have two choices!" Wang Wenzuo pulled out the dagger from his waist and threw it in front of Wu Xiaoyi: "Either tell what you know; or get rid of yourself, so at least you don't have to suffer from the jailer!"

Wu Xiaoyi laughed: "Give me a chance to commit suicide, then I should really thank you for your kindness!"

"You little bastard, you don't understand anything!" Wang Wenzuo finally couldn't hold back his emotions, and roared angrily, "Do you think I hate your life? Have you seen my scarlet robe? It was killed with a knife and a gun in Baekje. I have seen dead bodies floating all over the river, and blood soaked in shoes. Can this be imagined by a cockfighting boy hiding in Chang'an City? I just don't want this to happen. In Chang'an!"

"It happened in Chang'an?"

"Yes, if the assassination of the queen happens tomorrow night, it goes without saying that it will definitely fail. What will happen? The queen will put everyone she dislikes on the death list. The reason is ready-made. As for the confession, the jailer It will solve everything, and you will say whatever those guys want you to say. It is not surprising that tens of thousands of people will die if you are implicated. Because of you!" At this point, Wang Wenzuo pointed his finger at the tip of Wu Xiaoyi's nose.

"His Majesty the Son of Heaven will not allow it!"

"I won't allow it?" Wang Wenzuo sneered, "Changsun Wuji also thought so at the beginning, and then what? He is the emperor's own uncle. Who can be closer to the emperor than him?"

Wu Xiaoyi's gaze wavered for the first time, Wang Wenzuo noticed this, he snorted coldly, went to the window and pushed it open, pointed to the sky and said: "See clearly, what time is it now, think about it carefully! "

————————————————————————————————————

Bang!
Wang Wenzuo almost knocked the door open.

"Sanlang!" Jin Ren asked and stood up, "What's wrong?"

"Leave immediately, we will enter the palace immediately!"

"Are you crazy? The gate of the palace has already been closed at this time!" Jin Ren asked with a smile, "Let's wait until tomorrow morning!"

"It's too late, the sooner the better!" Wang Wenzuo said, "Let's go to Yanxi Gate and ask to see the prince directly!"

"Meet the prince? The East Palace is also in the imperial city, right?"

"Brother Renshou, you can always find a solution, right?" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "If you want to avoid the empress from being too ruthless, you must eliminate the matter before dawn. This requires soldiers, and His Royal Highness has soldiers. Now the doors of all the workshops are closed, no one can escape, just arrest people!"

"Okay!" Facing Wang Wenzuo's firm gaze, Jin Renwen finally shook his head helplessly: "Sanlang, I knew you would always make a lot of trouble for me in the end."

"Brother Renshou, if things get serious, it will cost tens of thousands of lives!" Wang Wenzuo sighed, "You've lived in Chang'an for many years in this city, shouldn't you?" Do you do your best?"

"Okay, okay, you are right!" Jin Renwen shook his head: "You take that bastard with you, and we will enter the palace immediately!"
