Half An Hour

Chen Pingping was silent for a moment and then said, "The Emperor is an overly suspicious man. I'll admit that it was clever of Fan Xian to use this method, but the problem is that the Emperor is a very suspicious person. These easily spotted points of suspicion would, on the contrary, make him develop a deeper level of suspicion…"

Fei Jie glanced at him and said, "That is why we have to help Fan Xian get rid of people, to solidify these suspicions."

"Correct." Chen Pingping smiled slightly. "The Emperor is overly suspicious, so it is actually very difficult for him to come to a decision. After all these years, he is no longer the ferocious general who dared to use 500 people to charge Northern Wei's iron riders…killing people eases a ruler's heart. Although it is crude, it is good that dead men cannot speak, but they can tell the Emperor what he wants to know."

Fei Jie coughed and said, "Although what you said is a bit confusing, I basically understand."
