Seeing that everyone had found their seats, Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge looked at each other and began to explain their plans.

"After discussing with His Majesty, we unanimously decided not to release the news that Qin Yanwei is dead."

After all, Jia Jingtian was the chief of the Dali Temple, so he was extremely sensitive to these matters.

"The Seventh Prince and his wife want to use the news of Qin Yanwei's arrest in the Dali Temple to lure the mastermind behind this into the trap?"

Mu Gu nodded approvingly.

"That's right. Since they are so eager to kill Qin Yanwei, they will definitely find ways to kill him after learning that Qin Yanwei didn't die."

Jia Jingtian nodded slowly, but new confusions arose.

"But will that person really believe that Qin Yanwei was rescued by us?"

"Chief Jia, don't worry about this. The murderer shot the crossbow arrow at the figure and then ran away."

Xiao Ruge immediately explained that this was the result she and Mu Gu came to after discussing for a long time in the mansion. At the beginning, they were in the private room of Zuiyun Tower, and they only saw a hole on the door where a crossbow arrow had passed through the window paper. There was no other place from the corridor to see into the private room. After killing someone, the killer did not have time to return to confirm whether Qin Yanwei was dead or alive, so they had the opportunity to use this as bait to lure the mastermind into the trap.

"Although the mastermind behind this is very powerful and may not believe this statement, that person is willing to risk being arrested to kill Qin Yanche. Even if he doesn't plan to do it, he will definitely find a way to find out and confirm whether Qin Yanwei is dead or alive."

"Whether Qin Yanwei is dead or alive should be known only to the five of us, so spreading this news will not cause too many people to doubt its authenticity."

"This method is likely to work."

After Xiao Ruge finished speaking, Jia Jingtian already felt that this decision was well-founded.

"Okay, then, Your Highness the Seventh Prince, just tell us what you need us to do."

Mu Gu nodded, and then began to assign tasks.

"Qin Yanwei's body is definitely useless. Now we need someone to stay in prison and pretend to be Qin Yanwei to leave traces of his life in prison. That person..."

As soon as Mu Gu finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Jia Yunsheng at the same time. When the latter realized that everyone was looking at him, his eyes widened in disbelief and raised his finger to point at himself.

"Let me go?"

Everyone nodded rapidly, and Jia Yunsheng's face instantly turned bitter. Although he had suffered a lot when he became a member of the Dali Temple, life in this prison was not something that everyone could endure, especially for someone like him who would feel dizzy and disoriented if he didn't have a full meal. He couldn't stay in that kind of place for even a moment.

"No! I can't bear this heavy responsibility."

"You can afford it."

Jia Yunshui was as direct as ever. He raised his hand and took Qin Yanwei's clothes that Mu Gu and the others had brought and stuffed them into Jia Yunshui's arms.

Jia Yunsheng grabbed the pile of clothes in his hands without warning. What caught his eyes was the black bloodstains on the lapels and the strange smell. His nose wrinkled and he was about to vomit.

Fortunately, Jia Jingtian was quick-witted and quickly grabbed Jia Yunsheng's neck, forcing him to swallow back the food in his throat, and tears instantly filled his eyes.

Seeing that Jia Yunsheng was about to refuse, Jia Jingtian half raised his head, stretched out his fingers and began to count.

"Mrs. Xiao Ruge is a woman, so she should be eliminated first."

"Your Highness the Seventh Prince, this is inappropriate."

"I, your boss, need to see the whole picture."

"Clouds and water..."

Seeing Jia Jingtian's eyes on Jia Yunshui, Jia Yunsheng didn't have time to be happy before Jia Jingtian's next words brought him straight to the bottom.

"Yunshui... Yunshui... his body shape doesn't look like him!"

The disbelief in Jia Yunsheng's eyes grew bigger and bigger. His boss was targeting him. He could come up with such a far-fetched reason as not having the same body shape.

Jia Jingtian straightened his expression, walked to Jia Yunsheng's side and patted him on the shoulder.

"It seems that this important and difficult task can only be entrusted to our most capable Yunsheng!"

Jia Jingtian's words really left him no room for maneuver. Without waiting for Jia Yunsheng to say anything, Jia Jingtian turned his gaze to Mu Gu again.

"Okay, it's settled. Seventh Prince, please continue to make arrangements."

Looking at the scenes in front of him, Mu Gu couldn't help but curl his eyes. Afraid that he would burst out laughing if he opened his mouth again, he patted Xiao Ruge beside him.

Xiao Ruge understood and continued speaking.

"The four of us will form two teams next. Chief Jia and Yunshui, and I and the Seventh Prince, we will take turns to ambush and wait for the prey to come!"

……

On the streets of Kyoto, a notice board announcing city gate affairs.

The inspector who posted Kyoto's public notices posted a notice on the board, and a crowd of people gathered around him instantly.

"Qin... Yanwei? Isn't this the official in the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Finance? One million silver coins?! This is the Qin Hui of the modern era!"

"Bah! In my opinion, this corrupt official should be executed right away. Why keep him alive?"

"That's right! This despicable thing should be put to death by slow slicing. It's all the people's money that they are greedy for!"

In the crowd, a man wearing a coarse windbreaker and carrying a long sword on his back pressed down the straw hat on his head, and through the gaps in the crowd, he saw the portrait of the person on the public notice board.

He walked through the crowd and came to the public notice board, looking closely at every word on it, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter. The middle-aged man next to him was very enthusiastic.

"Brother, look at me and I will be angry."

The straw hat man turned his head in confusion, and his subconscious frown made the middle-aged man mistakenly think that the straw hat man agreed with his point of view. He started talking without waiting for anyone to respond.

"Such a corrupt official is still alive and locked up in the Dali Temple prison. How come he doesn't get his retribution?"

"If a killer with extraordinary strength sneaked into the Dali Temple and killed someone, it would be a great pleasure."

The straw hat man's expression became increasingly serious, and then he immediately pushed away the crowd that was still surging forward behind him and walked onto the street against the crowd.

The man in the straw hat had a slightly panicked look on his face, but perhaps it was because of his years of experience in the martial world that he had learned to remain calm, and he was able to keep his composure.

The man in the straw hat looked around, as if he was looking for something.

"here."

As he walked quickly into an alley, a pair of eyes appeared in the dark alley, followed by a low voice. The man in the straw hat immediately stopped, looked around, and then slipped into the alley.
