This evil king is a little annoying

Chapter 651 A Surprise That Will Never Be Forgotten

"Assassinate Su Qiqi, 5 gold, here is a deposit of [-] taels, and the remaining [-] taels will be paid after you succeed in the assassination."

Prime Minister Li didn't doubt that he was there. After thinking for a while, he took a family heirloom jade pendant from his waist and handed it to the killer as a token. "How about it? How sure are you of success?"

"hundred percent."

There seemed to be a faint smile in the killer's tone, but Prime Minister Li only thought he was happy to hear the amount of the bounty, and said, "Do it cleanly. If you can do it tonight, I will give you another 2000 taels." commission!"

"It's a word."

The killer put away the 3 taels of gold ticket, "Then, Mr. Prime Minister, just wait for the surprise tonight."

A surprise that he will never forget until his death.

As soon as the killer left, Xiao Shunzi from the palace came to deliver the decree.

"Master Prime Minister, His Majesty let you enter the palace overnight, saying that there is an important matter to discuss."

When delivering decrees in the past, Xiao Shunzi always had a flattering smile on his face, and he must be very respectful when speaking, but today, I don't know if it is because the Li family has recently fallen, Prime Minister Li always feels that today The expression on Xiao Shunzi's face was faintly disdainful.

Hmph, how dare a little eunuch dare to look down on him, it's really a dog's eyes to look down on people!
Xiao Shunzi didn't give him a good face, so Prime Minister Li naturally wouldn't treat him politely, so he snorted coldly and went straight to the sedan chair that came from the palace.

At night, it was always calm and peaceful, but for some reason, Prime Minister Li always felt strangely quiet along the way, the closer he got to the palace, the more his heart beat and beat faster.

It's strange, nothing major has happened, why is his heart so uneasy, he always feels that something bad is waiting for him!
Prime Minister Li's intuition has always been accurate, but the assassination happened, and after Concubine Li was arrested again, he has been very responsible for the past few days, returning to the mansion immediately after the morning court every day, and there are no extra problems.

Except, today, at the instigation of his youngest daughter Li Hanmo, he went to find the killer on a whim...

Could it be that the killer lost his hand and was caught by His Majesty?
Thinking of this possibility, the prime minister's heart trembled.

He hadn't forgotten that the killer had a token from him. That token was his family jade pendant with a plum engraved on it.
I can't even think about it!

What to do now?
Prime Minister Li was fidgeting all of a sudden, but now he was still in the sedan chair, on his way to the palace, and had no way of getting any news. In desperation, he could only lower his figure reluctantly, rolled up the curtain of the car, and yelled, " Mr. Shunzi."

"Hey."

Xiao Shunzi said calmly, "My lord, what are your orders?"

"Eunuch Shunzi, what are you talking about? You are a famous person by the emperor's side, but I am just a subject under the emperor's command. I don't give orders when I talk about them."

Prime Minister Li deliberately tried to please Xiao Shunzi. He took out a heavy purse from his sleeve and stuffed it into Xiao Shunzi's hand, "Father Shunzi, I have some questions and want to—"

"Oh, my lord, what are you doing?"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Shunzi not only did not accept the money, but even waved his hand and threw the purse back on Prime Minister Li, "Master Prime Minister, I, Xiao Shunzi, am not the kind of guy who has an eye for money. This man , you always have to put yourself in the right position, you can’t think about things you shouldn’t think about, do you think that’s the reason?”
