"Who is it? Someone is coming, there is an assassin!"

At midnight, the tranquility of the night in Zhao Chengye's house was broken by a strange noise.

Zhao Chengye was originally working in the study, but the window of the study was suddenly hit by something, making a harsh sound, which immediately alerted the nearby guards.

The guard saw a black shadow flash past, and subconsciously shouted loudly.

Some people chased the black shadow, while others quickly surrounded the study. Be alert to the surroundings to prevent the assassin's accomplices from hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to hurt their highness.

Zhao Chengye heard the noise in the study and subconsciously wanted to come out to see what was going on, but he was stopped. On the grounds of safety, he was asked to stay in the study temporarily and the door was closed.

After a while, the movement outside slowly stopped. Then he opened the door to the study and walked out, asking in a deep voice: "What's going on?"

"Back to Your Highness, I just saw a dark shadow flashing outside the study, and the other party smashed something against the window of the study."

Zhao Chengye frowned, "Is it an assassin?"

"This... I'm not sure about that. That black shadow was very fast. I couldn't catch up with him..." The guard who was kneeling on the ground didn't actually tell the truth. Because he was totally embarrassed and didn’t dare to say it!

He said that he finally caught up with him, but found that the black shadow he was chasing looked like...a monkey? Not to mention whether His Highness believes it or not, he himself doesn’t believe it!

He suspected that he was chasing in the wrong direction, allowing the truly suspicious person to escape. Then I met a monkey that escaped from nowhere.

He felt that the monkey must have escaped from the busker and somehow managed to escape here. It happened that an assassin had sneaked into the house and wanted to do harm to His Highness.

Zhao Chengye didn't have much suspicion. It was nothing new for someone to assassinate him.

He and his brothers, even though they were brothers, didn't have much affection for each other. Now there is an endless fight for the position of prince. If he dies, I don’t know how many people will applaud him.

"Go over it quickly and see if there's anything you're missing."

"Your Highness, this is what the man smashed into the window." Someone came over with something in his hand.

Zhao Chengye's eyes fell on it.

It's square and square, and looks like a box. The outside was wrapped in a very ordinary piece of coarse cloth, so you couldn't tell what it was.

Zhao Chengye stared at it for a while and stepped forward to open it——

"Your Highness, no! Let's let the humble one do it!"

Zhao Chengye raised his hand to stop him, and slowly opened the piece of cloth, revealing a rough wooden box.

He paused and then reached out to take the wooden box over. Now he weighed it in his hands before reaching out to open it.

"Be careful, Your Highness!"

The box was opened, but nothing happened as expected. A notebook lies quietly in a wooden box.

Zhao Chengye frowned, confused: What is this?

He picked up the book and opened it to look at it. His eyes widened suddenly, and his pupils shone with surprise. He put the book away with a swish and ordered: "Mr. Gu and Mr. He follow me into the study. Everyone else should disperse and step up patrols!"

Mr. Gu and Mr. He were both Zhao Chengye's staff. They looked at each other and followed Zhao Chengye into the study.

After the study door closed, Zhao Chengye walked to the desk and sat down before placing the account book he had just received on the desk, "You two, let's take a look at this first!"

Mr. Gu stepped forward to pick it up and took a look, and was shocked, "This... Your Highness, could this be what was in the wooden box just now?"

Mr. He came up to take it and took a look. He was also surprised.

"Do you two gentlemen think the records in this account book are credible?"

Zhao Chengye is not stupid, he just believes it is true if he just picks up an account book.

Mr. He didn't speak, and he slowly read through it. After a while, he and Mr. Gu looked at each other, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, we think there is an 80% chance that what is written in this account book is true!"

It is said to be 80%, but to put it bluntly, this account book is true!

Zhao Chengye couldn't help but feel excited, but he quickly calmed down, "If it's true, who sent it here? Couldn't this be a trap?"

Use him to deal with the fourth child, wait until he kills the fourth child, and then deal with him. In the end, the fisherman will benefit?

This question should be asked to both gentlemen.

"No matter what, Your Highness, this is a rare opportunity! Since the other party is willing to send such important evidence to His Highness, he probably won't be His Highness's enemy. Otherwise, such evidence can be used no matter where it is placed. Its function is so why should it be given to His Highness in this way?"

"Yes, maybe the other party is doing this just to let His Highness accept a favor. It is also possible that the other party's status is too low. Even if the account books are released, the expected effect will not be achieved and the maximum effect will not be achieved, so I just sent it to His Highness."

"Your Highness, this opportunity is rare, you should think twice!"

As he said this, Mr. Gu suddenly remembered something, and with a strange expression on his face, he said, "Your Highness, could this matter be related to the theft in Li Gang's house?"

Although Li Gang said to the outside world that he was holding on to the matter because his concubine was killed, they found out that the Li Mansion was stolen that night, but everyone in the Li Mansion kept the whole matter secret.

Zhao Chengye also remembered this matter. When he looked at the account book in his hand, the doubts in his heart suddenly became less and more certain.

"Let's make arrangements. Since this is an opportunity presented to us, we must make good use of it!"

As for the person who sent the account books, he accepted such a big favor! If there is an opportunity in the future, if the other party asks for it, he will definitely grant it within the allowed range!

After finishing his work, the Monkey King jumped all the way to the Duke Cheng's Mansion. But when I passed a house and saw the lights below, I thought that the woman seemed to like that kind of book-like thing. In this case, let's get her a few more books to make her happy!

Who calls it the Monkey King? She is just a girl. She can be pampered as long as she is pampered. It’s no big deal!

So it turned around and went to steal - ah no, take something!

It walked all the way, took it all the way, and visited all the houses along the way. When it encounters someone in the study, it will go to the main courtyard - it hasn't been in Chengguo Duke's Mansion for a long time, but it can't help but it is smart, and it also knows what the main courtyard is. If there's no one in the study, I'll go in and take a stroll, catching up on things.

It went all the way down, so that in the end it had to touch a sack and throw all the things it brought into the sack. Finally, it threw the sack behind its back and the sack slipped away!
