From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 155 Don't ask who will play chess in the future, all living beings are like cicadas in the net

The world is like a big net.

Every person is a node, and every relationship between people is the connecting line of this big network.

Countless people and countless relationships are interwoven into a complex, sophisticated and ever-changing web.

This network is called the network of destiny, or the network of cause and effect in the truly high-level world.

High-end hunters can influence the fate of countless people and decide their life and death by pulling these connecting wires.

But for Mao Qiwu, it is called social engineering.

This is what the prince taught him.

This is also the foundation of his cultivation.

Two years ago, Mao Qiwu accepted a mission to assassinate Chen Pingping.

Not only must he be killed, but he must be killed with skill and in a reasonable and logical way so that no one can suspect Donggong.

This is undoubtedly a difficult problem.

Chen Pingping is the President of the Supervisory Yuan, the world's biggest spy chief and intelligence chief. To kill him and at the same time distance oneself from the matter, it is an impossible task for others.

But he still took it.

Because he knew that this was the final test given to him by the prince, and it was also the key to his progress.

From the very beginning, I was confused and didn't know where to start. I could only start from the most basic level to analyze, understand and think.

Slowly, a big net with Chen Pingping as the center unfolded in his eyes. Starting from the outermost edge of the net, he gradually went deeper into the core, and then used it as a reference to deal with the matters he encountered.

Gradually, he began to understand how to use this net and how to move these lines.

Looking back and analyzing Chen Pingping, a simple and sensitive line appeared before his eyes.

Duan Si, Duan Ziping.

Chen Pingping is not easy to kill. There are countless masters in the Supervisory Office. When he travels, there are black riders in the open and in the dark, and shadows follow him.

Looking at Chen Pingping's whereabouts and habits over the years, he suddenly discovered that only in the palace was Chen Pingping's protection the weakest.

Shadow cannot enter the palace openly, and the Black Cavalry cannot gallop around in the palace. The palace guards each have their own duties, and it is impossible for them to protect only Chen Pingping.

In other words, in the palace, Chen Pingping's protection was the same as that of other ministers, and he received no special treatment.

What is the situation of the palace confinement? It can be summed up in four words: tight outside, loose inside.

If you want to enter the palace from outside, without the strength of the ninth rank, you will basically die.

With the strength of the ninth rank, if you want to leave the palace after entering it, you have to ask Yan Xiaoyi's arrow how fast it is.

Of course, Yan Xiaoyi is not in the palace now.

This is a good thing!

But find someone to enter the palace and assassinate him?
This is the worst move. If the assassin is allowed to enter the palace and succeed, there will be few officials left in Nanqing.

Therefore, we have to find a solution from the palace.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince often says that the easiest way for a fortress to be breached is by someone from within.

And he is familiar with the palace!
He was born into a family of eunuchs, and worked his way up from the lowest level of menial work. He knew the situation in the palace not like the back of his hand, but he knew it pretty well.

Inside the palace, there is a complex flow of people from all kinds of backgrounds.

Although except for the royal family, everyone else was only a slave, there were many ways to become a slave. Some were recruited into the palace because they voluntarily castrated themselves because they could not survive, like him. Some were the family members of prisoners who were sent into the palace. There were also young children who were captured in the wars in Daqing.

On the surface, the backgrounds of these people have been thoroughly investigated, but you can't stop the greed of the people below!
For example, An Zhaonan, the head of the Jingshifang, was a greedy person. When he was in power, he was responsible for bringing people into the palace. As long as you paid enough money, their origins would not be a problem, and he could even make up stories for you.

As for Chen Pingping, he has a special status and position, and there are too many people and facts related to him. Among these relationships, there must be connections with the palace, and there are definitely quite a few of them.

So, he started investigating from the eunuchs in the palace and found Duan Ziping.

————I am the dividing line————

In the palace, Linhu Palace
There are a lot of people today
Emperor Qing, Lin Ruofu, Fan Jian, General Qin, University Scholar Shu, Prince Zhao, and the Crown Prince.

Chen Pingping's death had such a huge impact that even if the murderer was found and the cause was discovered, the whole process seemed reasonable, but it was too reasonable.

So reasonable that everyone feels it is unreasonable.

There was a sense of familiarity. Everyone present knew where this familiar feeling came from.

Supervisory Commission!
Yes, the Supervisory Commission.

The Supervisory Commission has always handled some matters in this "reasonable" manner.

Including but not limited to assassination.

Now, this rationality appeared in Chen Pingping, and everyone in the hall had an inexplicable complex emotion.

Outside the hall, Hong Sixiang strode in with a cold face.

"how?!"

"We've checked it out." Hong Sixiang prostrated himself in the hall, then raised his head and said, "He told the truth. He entered the palace ten years ago, and was handled by An Zhaonan. However, An Zhaonan committed suicide three years ago due to taking bribes and corruption. After entering the palace, Duan Ziping has been working in the Imperial Stables. Later, he caught the eye of Wu Laobao, the Imperial Stables supervisor, and was adopted as his godson. A year ago, Zhang Qing'er, who was in charge of serving Dean Chen, caught a cold. Although he recovered, his lungs were damaged, and he was out of breath when he walked. With the help of Wu Laobao, he began to serve Dean Chen who entered the palace. During this period, he had no contact with any outsiders, and nothing unusual happened."

"What's wrong with his martial arts?!"

"Part of his martial arts is the basic martial arts passed down from his family, and part of it was taught by Wu Laobao, which includes the method of assassination."

"Um?!"

"Wu Laobao used to be a secret guard in the palace. According to Duan Ziping's confession, Wu Laobao saw that he had some basic martial arts skills, so he taught him some self-defense skills. However, he didn't want him to join the secret guard, so he didn't teach him any advanced assassination techniques. He had been practicing assassination techniques in secret for a long time, and later combined them with the assassination techniques taught by Wu Laobao, so his speed is very fast."

"Where's Wu Laobao!?"

"He died of illness half a year ago."

"So, apart from his confession, there are no other clues? Wu Laobao is a former secret guard. Doesn't he understand the rules of the secret guard?"

Hong Sixiang paused for a moment. "We have questioned those who were acquainted with him, and the results we obtained are consistent with his confession. Wu Laobao is old, and he is very fond of this new godson. Apart from that, there is nothing unusual."

"An Zhaonan is dead, Wu Laobao is also dead. Haha, so this is really a deliberate accident. Is God going to destroy Chen Pingping?"

Hong Sixiang didn't say anything, and the hall was silent.

"Alright, go down and clean up the palace for me. I want to see how many monsters and demons are still in this palace!"

"Yes!"

————I am the dividing line————

East Palace
Under the grape trellis, Mao Qiwu and Gui Zitian sat opposite each other. The chess pieces on the board were strangling and biting each other. Judging from the situation, it seemed that the white pieces had the advantage.

Gui Zitian's chubby face flashed with a smug smile, "Brother Qi Wu, your chess skills are getting better and better. In a few days, I'm afraid I really won't be able to beat you."

Mao Qiwu smiled slightly, picked up a black piece, and inserted it into the belly of the white piece. He smiled and said, "Chess is like killing. It only takes one blow to draw blood!"

As soon as one piece entered the game, the white dragon was suddenly trapped, and the whole board was filled with death. Gui Zitian's forehead was covered with sweat.

Outside the small garden, Li Mingchuan came hurriedly, shouting.

"Chen Pingping was stabbed and his body was found outside Chengtian Palace!"

The whole yard suddenly fell silent.

A light sound, like a silver bottle breaking, then a trembling sound of a silk string.

Mao Qiwu's eyes flashed with brilliance, and his black eyes instantly turned silver. If you look closely, it is not the color of his eyes that changed, but countless silver threads appeared in the depths of his eyes, weaving into a net, overlapping and eventually covering his eyes.

Silver light flickered, and the silk net disappeared in a flash. A strange aura emanated from Mao Qiwu, turning into a whirlwind and sweeping around.

In an instant, Gui Zitian and Li Mingchuan seemed to see silver threads floating up, intertwining and weaving with each other, turning into a huge net that covered the sky and blocked out the sun.

The strange scene made both of them dazed, but soon, when the mysterious aura approached the entrance of the courtyard flower hall, it was blocked by an invisible force and was isolated within the courtyard.

Mao Qiwu stood up, his whole body of true energy surged and sublimated to the utmost. Silk-like energy shot out from his acupuncture points and turned into silver solid silk threads, wrapping him up and turning him into a silver cocoon with a flashing halo.

Under the astonished gaze of Gui Zitian and Li Mingchuan, a large cocoon took shape, and then collapsed again. Mao Qiwu walked out of the cocoon, his breath rising slightly, his eyes empty, unlike that of an ordinary person.

"Brother Qi Wu, congratulations."

Gui Zitian regained his composure, looked delighted, and congratulated with a fist salute.

Mao Qiwu just smiled and said, "Isn't this expected? You're almost there too."

"I'm still a long way from that." Gui Zitian smiled, a gleam of brilliance suddenly flashing in his eyes. "It just so happens that I've recently been researching several new drugs targeting grandmasters, but I don't have any test subjects. How about Brother Qi Wu help me test the effects?"

"roll!"
