Chapter 558 She is dead
Jiang Youzhen looked at the Second Prince, and his heart moved slightly. Just then, the Second Prince looked over, and the two of them looked at each other, and they both saw the smile in each other's eyes.
It seems great minds think alike!
The second prince curled up the corners of his lips. He and Jiang Youzhen still had some tacit understanding.
It was late at night, and in the study of a mansion, two silhouettes were reflected on the window.
"Didn't I tell you not to act rashly? Look! It didn't work at all, and instead made Jiang Youzhen alert." A slightly hoarse voice said with a very dissatisfied tone.
"So what? Could she have guessed that it was me? What's more, she is now in prison, how can she not be successful? If she doesn't enter the officialdom, how long can those princes protect her? We will find another opportunity to get rid of her." An old voice replied disdainfully.
"Before, it would have been easy for us to get rid of her. I advised you at the beginning, but you thought she was not a threat. Now she is gaining momentum and you know she is getting anxious."
"You don't need to be sarcastic. I just used a little trick to make her fail. How powerful can she be? You are the ones who are scared. A mere scholar is so scared. Humph!"
"If she was just a minor scholar, I wouldn't be afraid of her. But your little trick was easily defeated by her. If I hadn't set someone up to instigate her, do you think she would have been imprisoned in the Dali Temple? She would have been released long ago!"
The hoarse male voice was full of disdain. He was very dissatisfied. This man was not only stubborn and self-righteous, but also had a high opinion of himself.
"The princes are still tied up after all, but what if the emperor wants to let Jiang Youzhen go?"
"Impossible!" the old voice said with certainty.
"The emperor is suspicious by nature. Even if he really values Jiang Youzhen, he will not intervene. Just wait and see! As long as we delay Jiang Youzhen, we can keep her life in the Dali Temple." His tone was full of pride.
"Are you sure the emperor won't change his mind? If we release Jiang Youzhen, all our plans will fall through. Besides, Jiang Youzhen won't just sit there and wait to die. She can't leave the Dali Temple, but several princes are on her side." The hoarse male voice hesitated.
"Hmph! He only helps others to gain more confidence and destroys your own prestige. Jiang Youzhen is nothing to be afraid of! You should first think about how to get someone into the court! Now that Jiang Youzhen has been successfully detained, if your people still cannot enter the government, then they are just good-for-nothings."
"I hope so!" The hoarse male voice sounded a little uncertain. He always felt that Jiang Youzhen would not compromise so easily.
"Don't worry! Once the palace examination is over, how will those princes still remember Jiang Youzhen? I will take action then."
It was late at night, and the Dali Temple cell was very quiet. Jiang Youzhen was curled up on the straw mat in the cell, unable to sleep at all.
Ever since her family became rich, she has really never suffered this kind of hardship again.
She glanced at the corner and saw the spy who had been put down and imprisoned. From this angle, Jiang Youzhen could only see the other person's back. She glanced at him and calculated the time, thinking it was about time.
Soon, a crisp buzzing sound of weapons clashing was heard outside the cell.
Jiang Youzhen noticed that the assassin shuddered all over, then turned over, nervously holding onto the iron bars of the cell and looking towards the direction of the cell exit.
Soon, several men in black rushed in. His eyes lit up, and he waved and shouted at the men in black who rushed in: "I'm here!"
However, the men in black turned a deaf ear to him and quickly dealt with the two prison bosses before rushing towards the spy.
The spy was delighted and was struggling to stand up when he suddenly saw one of the men in black stabbing at him with a sword.
He rolled to the side and narrowly avoided it.
"Who sent you? Why do you want to kill me?" The spy panicked and suddenly thought of killing to silence the witness.
He stepped back. Fortunately, the cell was made of iron, otherwise these people would have rushed in.
When the attack failed, the man in black said to the person behind him: "Go find the key!"
"Who are you?" The spy had a guess in his mind, but was still a little hesitant.
"Remember, anyone who wants to kill you! Only the dead can keep secrets!" The man in black spoke in a cold tone, sounding very sinister.
When the spy heard this, he wondered if they were really here to silence him? He thought about how much he had suffered in order to accuse Jiang Youzhen. In order to make it more realistic, he had also been tortured a lot. The wealth and glory that had been promised to him were all fake, and now they were here to kill him to silence him?
Seeing that the man in black behind him had found the key from a prison boss, he suddenly became panicked.
But he always felt that something was wrong?
"Go and kill Jiang Youzhen together. It will be good for you to have a companion on your journey to the underworld." The masked man in black gave the order, followed by a flattering sneer.
Only then did the spy put aside his doubts.
If he was the only one killed, he would still feel something was wrong! But, the guards of the Dali Temple were too lax? These people made such a big move, but no one came to support them until now?
"Help! Someone come quickly, there's an assassin!" Fang Jiang Youzhen had already shouted, her tone full of fear.
"Tell her to shut up!" The assassin leader was a little annoyed, "Why don't you do it now?"
At this time, the cell had been opened by the men in black, and the spy was covered in wounds. How could he have the strength to resist?
A sword chopped down, and the spy rolled to the side again. At this time, he also shouted together with Jiang Youzhen.
"Help! Someone come quickly! There's an assassin." The spy ran around in a panic. Who would have thought that he could be so agile in this small cell.
Soon, the commotion here attracted many Dali Temple guards.
"Hurry! Save Jiang Youzhen, otherwise the princes will blame you and I will make you pay for it!" Zhu Zhimin's voice came quickly.
The spy heard that they only wanted to save Jiang Youzhen? Then wouldn't he be dead for sure?
Seeing the long sword coming down again, he hurriedly said, "Save me, I confess! I confess everything, save me!"
You are unkind and I am unjust. Since you want to kill people to silence them, how could he help to conceal it? Then it is not his fault.
"Someone, save him!"
A sword hit the spy's shoulder, and his eyes suddenly went dark and he passed out.
When he woke up, he found that he was still lying in the cell, but the wounds on his body had been bandaged.
He groaned as his hands moved.
Turning his head to look at the cell over there, he found that Jiang Youzhen was not in the cell, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"You finally woke up. Wait! I'll go ask the master to come over!" A jailer came over and said immediately when he saw the spy woke up.
"Wait!" The spy struggled to look at the cell over there again, "Where's Jiang Youzhen?"
"She? She's dead. In order to save you, I was naturally a step late. Although the three princes tried their best to protect you, your confession is more important than treason. My master didn't protect Jiang Youzhen, he saved you first. If you don't say something, you're dead." The jailer snorted coldly.
