Chapter 31 Spell
In the main hall of Prince Shun Mansion, Prince Shun sat in the seat of honor, looking indifferently at Senior Secretary Li, who was bowing beside him.
"I am very disappointed in the trouble you've caused, fruitlessly losing Pei Xinlu!" Prince Shun said with a heavy voice.
"It is my fault, who would have known that such an expert was hidden beside that little beast!" Li Wenfeng acknowledged, knowing Prince Shun's temper, and bowed his head.
"Pei Xinlu is already dead. The news from the Ministry of Justice is pressing down. If there is another next time, it will reach my father, and you will not have another chance to make a move!" Prince Shun said blandly.
He didn't care about Li Wenfeng's assassination attempt, what he cared about was the death of Pei Xinlu; the Ministry of Justice did not want to escalate the situation over a minor figure like Li Shiming.
Although the incident had a significant impact, as long as Li Shiming did not die, the situation could be controlled within a certain range.
Thus, Pei Xinlu died on the way back to the Ministry of Justice, which outwardly explained as suicide.
This explanation was reasonable. A master who had lost both arms and legs would lead a very miserable life even if he survived, and Pei Xinlu's enemies would certainly not let him off.
But Prince Shun knew this was the Ministry of Justice showing goodwill towards him, as well as a warning that the matter should be put to rest.
Otherwise, with the Ministry of Justice's experience in handling criminals, how could they let Pei Xinlu have the opportunity to commit suicide, or to say, Pei Xinlu's death was not a suicide at all.
"I have caused trouble for Your Highness!" Li Wenfeng still bowed his head as he replied.
"I don't like Li WenYuan either. Use the mansion's connections to give that youngster some trouble, now go," said Prince Shun, waving his hand.
