Not only that, this plan also led to mutual suspicion among the court officials, even the Chen family and Xu family might suspect each other.
Chen Ji slowly closed his eyes to reflect.
He had personally handed over the poison to the secretary of Huitong Hall—would it be traced back to him?
No.
At that moment, everyone believed the Korea envoy had poisoned themselves to force the Ning Dynasty to send troops to Korea.
Although Chen Ji was also a member of the Chen family, even if everyone suspected the Chen family, they wouldn't suspect him, as everyone knew his falling out with the Chen family was already public knowledge, even Jin Zhu wouldn't think of him.
Moreover, at that time, there were at least eight hundred or a thousand people on Chessboard Street and East Rongmi Lane, all fresh out of court, ministers and clerks, all were suspects. Given the habits of the Spy Department, they would certainly recheck everyone present at that time, but Chen Ji was not among them.
