Half an hour later, Huo Hanzhou and Yu Shu returned to the prison again and indeed got something valuable from the prisoner.
The prisoner was almost like a person on the verge of death. When he saw Huo Hanzhou, he was as scared of the criminal laws as he was when he saw the Lord of Hell.
As soon as the two arrived at the cell, they told each other what they knew and were dragged back to the cell. The prisoner was not afraid and was even eager to be locked up.
Compared to being left outside to have your bones scraped into pieces, and having to watch the meat being cooked in a pot and forced to eat it, this cell with cockroaches, insects, and rats is simply a better place, okay?
He came to do this task just to get some gold. He really didn't need to make his death uneasy.
After receiving the news as he wished, Huo Hanzhou and Yu Shu walked out of the prison calmly under the shocked eyes of the jailer who saw that "the rootless man is indeed a pervert".
Returning to the place where Huo Hanzhou lived, Yu Shu took off the hat on her head and fanned it in her hand.
She also wanted to take off the mask on her sullen face, but thinking that the original owner only showed up in front of the male protagonist after entering the First Academy, she would lose a lot of points if she took off the mask now, so she could only resist the urge to take off the mask. , diverting attention to talking to Huo Hanzhou.
"According to what the prisoner said, he was the assassin sent by the eldest prince. Do you think he was the one who successfully assassinated the emperor?"
"No." Huo Hanzhou spoke as concisely as he typed. He raised his hand and poured himself twice as much tea.
Yu Shu also wanted to drink tea, but the mask the original owner bought was the cheapest one. Except for the eyes, all other parts were covered by the mask. No matter how greedy she was, she had no choice but to be greedy first.
"I don't think so either. If the eldest prince really wanted to kill the emperor and seize the throne, he wouldn't be so impulsive to find a killer who might betray him at any time to assassinate him, instead of cultivating a group of people who are only loyal to him and will be killed if they are caught. A dead soldier who commits suicide and hides his secret forever."
"But the people behind the scenes are also very smart, and they know how to instigate the eldest prince to assassinate the prince. After all, the eldest prince is not young, and the emperor has been holding on to the power in his hands tightly, and has no intention of establishing a prince. Naturally, the eldest prince, the eldest son, will be anxious and angry. .”
Huo Hanzhou looked at Yu Shu with his thick black eyes and motioned for her to continue.
The opponent's face should have used a high-end prop in the game to hide his face. Even though Yu Shu could see his face clearly, she couldn't remember it in her mind for some reason. As long as she looked away from Huo Hanzhou's face for three seconds, he would be there. I will forget this face.
Yu Shu's eyes were dark, and it seemed that she was the only one who was poor.
She calmed down after swallowing a lemon and continued.
"The eldest prince is a good target. If his assassination is successful, the people behind it may be able to expose this matter, so that the eldest prince's efforts will be in vain."
"If the assassination fails, a killer will be caught if he can't do anything to the generals in the palace. Now the killer has confessed that he was the one sent by the eldest prince. The eldest prince is probably not doing well at the moment. ”
"So whether the assassination of the emperor succeeds or fails, the person behind it will be invincible. Now that he has successfully eliminated the eldest prince, the legitimate son who is a great threat to the throne, that person should be very happy."
Huo Hanzhou nodded, "When the killer came out of interrogation, the jailer didn't dare to keep it secret and immediately reported it to the emperor. Now the eldest prince is probably in custody and loses the qualification to seize the throne."
Yu Shu raised her beautiful eyebrows, and she knew that her guess was right.
The girl obviously only showed one pair of eyes, but these eyes could easily catch people's attention with their fleeting glances.
Huo Hanzhou took another sip of tea and frowned when he heard a young eunuch knocking on the door and saying that the emperor wanted to see him.
"You are here now. I will come back when I go."
The emperor asked Huo Hanzhou to go there at this time, probably for the purpose of assassination and the matter of the eldest prince. Huo Hanzhou also contributed a way to pry the killer's mouth, so he might be trusted by the emperor and intervene in the investigation of the assassination.
With this thought in mind, Yu Shu sat there obediently and urged him to go quickly.
Huo Hanzhou felt strangely confused when he saw that she looked like she would wait for him to come back. The quieter silver snow tiger spirit beast began to roar, as if it was about to rush out.
He was annoyed by the Silver Snow Tiger, and after suppressing it with his mental power, he turned around and left the room, heading to the royal study.
