The man with the goatee turned red in the face from the insults and immediately became displeased. Enraged, he jumped up and pointed at Xu Yuan's nose, yelling, "Xu Yuan, don't push your luck!"

"You were the one who offered your wife to me as a benefit in the partnership. Otherwise, would I have been able to sleep with her? To have her body, to have a threesome with her?"

"When we first joined forces, you talked a good game, promising all the benefits and no drawbacks. Now that things have gone wrong, you're trying to shift the blame and make empty promises. Let me tell you, no way!"

Fan Jian and Liu Yishou chimed in, and the room erupted into another noisy argument.

The beautiful woman, who was trembling with fear, saw that they were getting into a fight and said timidly, "Gentlemen, you can't keep arguing like this."

Upon hearing this, all three of them turned to look at her.

The beautiful woman was quite frightened, but suddenly had a brilliant idea. "I know that you gentlemen are all angry. Why don't I help you calm down, and then you can sit down and chat slowly?"

She never expected that her idea would be unanimously agreed upon.

As a result, she was met with three vicious wolves, each with its own stomach upset and nowhere to vent its anger, who then wantonly ravaged her land.

……

Qin Yichen sneaked back to the governor's mansion like a thief.

As soon as he entered, he eagerly called Ye Qingxuan and Jiang Liuli to his side and said meaningfully, "I think I should be killed. What do you think?"

Ye Qingxuan and Jiang Liuli exchanged a glance, neither of them immediately objecting.

Jiang Liuli hesitated for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Your Highness, do you intend to have someone impersonate an assassin to carry out the assassination, or do you plan to have someone poison you?"

Qin Yichen shrugged. "Why does someone else have to kill me? Can't I do it myself?"

Jiang Liuli's eyes widened in surprise as she exclaimed, "Your Highness, you're really good at this!"

Ye Qingxuan chimed in, "That's right. I didn't expect Your Highness to have such a masochistic tendency. As long as you're happy."

Qin Yichen was speechless and explained, "I have given this serious thought, not just acted recklessly. As the saying goes, the more you do, the more mistakes you make. Often, the most sophisticated assassinations are carried out in the simplest and most unpretentious ways."

"If I do it myself, I won't leave many clues. It will be completely undetectable!"

After listening to what he said, Ye Qingxuan and Jiang Liuli thought about it carefully and it seemed to make sense.

Not long after.

A fast horse galloped out of the governor's mansion.

The hidden spy immediately called out to his superior: "Boss, boss, look, something's up!"

Upon hearing this, the man with the pointed snout and monkey-like face stared intently and exclaimed in surprise, "Is this a messenger? Something big has happened!"

The scout tentatively asked, "Boss, should we notify the brothers outside the city to ambush him?"

Upon hearing this, the weasel-faced man slapped him across the face, saying, "Open your dog eyes and look carefully, what's different about that person?"

The scout rubbed his slapped cheek, looking aggrieved, and said, "It's just a flag stuck on my back, isn't it?"

"It's just a flag, isn't it?"

The weasel-faced man laughed in anger, "Damn it, the problem is that the flag behind that guy is yellow!"

"Robbery of an urgent courier? Are you after his clothes or his shoes? Or perhaps you're after an immediate execution?"

The scout was stunned upon hearing this. "What? An urgent dispatch from eight thousand li away?"

The man with the pointed chin and monkey-like cheeks sneered: "What do you think?"

"An urgent dispatch of eight thousand li, those who obstruct will die, those who block the way will be executed, horses will be changed along the way but the riders will not be changed, the horses will go straight to the palace, on time the delivery will be rewarded handsomely, if it is delayed the delivery will be executed along with the entire family!"

"Dare to rob an 8,000-li urgent delivery? Within a radius of several miles, not to mention people, even ant holes would have to be filled with hot water, and earthworms would have to be dug out and split in two!"

"Hmph, you want to rob eight thousand miles? Even if your competitors want to do it, they'll have to stop you, otherwise, if they know about it and don't report it, they'll all be executed!"

The little spy was immediately terrified.

……

Inside Baihua Tower.

Fifteen minutes later, the wind stopped and the rain ceased.

Four disheveled men lay casually on the ground around a naked, beautiful woman.

Yes, you heard right, it's 15 minutes.

It still takes the time for all four of them combined.

Just then, a terrified voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Report! The Prince of Jin has been assassinated, and his fate is unknown!"

It exploded in the room instantly.

"What's the matter?"

Fan Jian sprang to his feet as if from the shock, his eyes wide with astonishment, repeating incredulously, "The Prince of Jin has been assassinated? His fate is unknown?"

Can you imagine a fat man weighing over 300 pounds doing a somersault with incredible ease?

Liu Yishou, who was standing to the side, was also startled by this sudden news. He hurriedly got up from the beautiful woman and looked at Xu Yuan with a suspicious expression: "Did you do this?"

Xu Yuan was probably a little confused at this moment, and subconsciously said, "No, I thought you did it."

After saying that, the two of them looked at the man with the goat horns, then looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.

That attitude couldn't be clearer.

Man with goat horns: "..."

Are you polite?

They denied it without even asking me?

Although you are right, I feel insulted!

Seeing their reaction, Fan Jian immediately had a plan in mind. He laughed and said, "We just came up with a solution here, but someone beat us to it. How gratifying!"

Xu Yuan nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right. No matter who did it, it's extremely beneficial to us. In the end, we should thank that guy!"

The man with the goatee's eyes darted around. "Now that things are temporarily resolved, shall we continue?"

Xu Yuan was displeased upon hearing this and glared at him fiercely. "Get lost! If you want to play around, go home and play around with Mrs. Mi. You're not getting my wife!"

Fan Jian, however, had a different idea. He put his arm around Xu Yuan's shoulder and coaxed, "Old Xu, I'm not trying to be mean, but you're being stingy. Anyway, we've all done this before, so why would we care about this one time? Don't you all agree?"

While they were still rambling on, Liu Yishou, without mentioning Wood, took the initiative.

Then Fan Jian and the man with the goat horn beard joined in, despite Xu Yuan's objections.

With no other choice, and based on the principle that he couldn't let these bastards get away with it for nothing, Xu Yuan also joined in.

Meanwhile, thanks to the efforts of certain individuals, news of Qin Yichen's assassination attempt spread like wildfire throughout Nanchang City and even reached surrounding cities.

The first to react was the law.

As the highest-ranking official in Hongzhou, he naturally knew the seriousness behind Qin Yichen's assassination attempt.

"Damn it, which bastard did this? They're trying to kill me!"

Wang Fa dared not delay for a moment and immediately summoned his trusted advisors to urgently discuss countermeasures in the main hall of the prefectural government.

"If this matter is not handled properly, it may cause turmoil among various forces and affect the stability of Hongzhou."

"Moreover, once the imperial court receives the news, it will inevitably hold us accountable. What we need to do now is to make amends and take remedial measures, otherwise we will face great disaster and neither of us will be able to escape responsibility!"

Wang Fa said with a frown.

An advisor suggested, "Sir, we should immediately send out men to investigate the truth behind Qin Yichen's assassination, while strengthening the state's defenses and capturing the murderer!"

If Qin Yichen heard this, he would definitely scoff. A murderer? What murderer?

You probably never dreamed that this was a play I directed and acted in myself, did you?

Wang Fa nodded in agreement.
