Zhu Di sneered: "The father forced him to kill Liu Sanwu, and the court officials secretly colluded with him to impeach him. For a new minister who entered the court, these two paths are a desperate way, and they cannot advance or retreat. There is no other way except death. But Xiao Fan, who is not revealed and does not show his water, can I underestimate such a person?"

"But if Your Highness wants to kill him, wouldn't it be better to send a dead soldier to attack after you leave the capital? Why do you have to kill him now?"

"It's impossible not to kill. Once the Ding Chou Ke case has passed, the father's attention may be shifted to the matter of reducing the vassal states. If Xiao Fan gives his father any more harm, I will be extremely passive in the capital..."

"So your highness is willing to risk being blamed by the emperor, and he must remove Xiao Fan first?"

Zhu Di smiled and said, "It's not a big risk. All the people sent out by this king are dead soldiers who have been raising for many years. Even if the assassination failed and was captured, they would never betray me. This matter can be said to be without evidence of death, and no one in the world can find out."

Daoyan sighed: "There is no evidence that others are not clear. Isn't your Highness afraid that this move will make the emperor unhappy, but instead strengthens his determination to reduce the vassal?"

Zhu Di said: "Assassination of Xiao Fan is just a reason. If the father really wants to cut off the vassal states, he will cut off whether he kills Xiao Fan or not. Xiao Fan is just a small fifth-rank Jinyiwei magistrate, but I am the father's son. I know who is more important. Therefore, I weighed the pros and cons, and felt that assassination of Xiao Fan would be more beneficial than disadvantages to me."

Daoyan shook his head and said, "Even if the emperor pretends to be deaf and dumb, has Your Highness forgotten Xiao Fan? He escaped death last night. I believe he hated Your Highness to the core. Are you afraid of him taking revenge?"

Zhu Di laughed and said, "This is the imperial city of the capital. I am a prince and noble. If my father suppresses this matter, what will Xiao Fan do to me? Haha, a joke! I am still afraid of him?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud and harsh sound outside the gate of the other courtyard.

"Listen to the people inside! You are already surrounded, hurry up and put down your weapons, take off your pants, and walk out with your hands in your arms, otherwise we will rush in... Lord Xiao, is that right?"

Zhu Di's laughter stopped as if he was being snatched from his neck, his face was blank, and he looked at each other with Daoyan.

Immediately afterwards, an impatient voice shouted, "Get out! The sound is not loud at all. Can you not use such a simple speaker? And even the lines are pronounced incorrectly. How can you get involved in the Jinyiwei?"

Then, a louder sound rang outside the gate of the courtyard.

"Listen to the people inside! Your accomplices have fallen into my hands. If you know the truth, hurry up and prepare to redeem the people. If I can't see the money within an hour, I will tear the tickets! Hehehe (grilling), and, no call the police, no report to the officials, and no report to the Jinyiwei! Because I am the Jinyiwei..."

“…”

In the courtyard, Zhu Di and Daoyan were confused and heard for a while. Finally, they trembled all over. They looked at each other and found that each other was full of shock.

"This...this sound..." Zhu Di stuttered and hesitated.

"Xiao Fan!" Daoyan came to a conclusion with great certainty.

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows slightly, and a solemn aura filled his eyebrows, and he shouted angrily: "Bold dog thief, how dare he blackmail me!"

Daoyan said coldly: "Why don't he dare? The emperor has ordered him to deal with this matter alone. This is to give him some compensation. Your Highness thinks he dares not provoke you, but he dares it. Your Highness, you did it last night's act of recklessness!"

Zhu Di's face was sometimes blue and sometimes white, changing all the time, and finally said dejectedly: "I seem to be wrong again... Sir, what should I do now?"
