Outside Puzhao Temple.
"Giddyup!"
Zhangsun Wuji rode his horse and rushed over with a large group of imperial guards.
"Where's the assassin? Where is the assassin?"
Seeing Wei Zhengcheng and the others come out, he immediately dismounted and pulled out his sword with a clang. He asked excitedly.
Cheng Yaojin turned his head away and picked his nose.
Wei Zheng cupped his hands and said,"Lord Zhangsun, you're late. The assassin has already left."”
"Gone?"
Zhangsun Wuji's face twitched.
"You let the assassin who killed my son leave!”
Wei Zheng explained," With the Ghastly Assassin's skills, no matter how many people there are, they will still be able to stop him. Enraging him will only make him kill more people."”
The corners of Zhangsun Wuji's eyes twitched wildly as he gritted his teeth.
"You actually let the assassin go!”
He turned around and looked at Cheng Yaojin and the Imperial Army soldiers around him."Cheng Yaojin, what are you doing? Also, you have so many Imperial Guards, but you can't even catch a single person. What are you doing?”
Cheng Yaojin was furious when he heard that and said angrily,""If you can, you go! Why don't you think about what happened yesterday when thousands of guards and cavalry were dispatched?
Thousands of cavalry were useless, and the corpses of the guards were piled up like mountains! Even the commander of the thousand cavalry, Qi Sha, had died at the hands of that person!
Do you know that I almost died in the hands of this assassin?”
Zhangsun Wuji was shocked, and his eyes flashed with killing intent. After a long time, he snorted coldly and sheathed his sword.
"Lord Wei, why did you come here?”
Looking at Wei Zheng, Zhangsun Wuji asked in confusion.
"I am here to inquire about the princess 'whereabouts and negotiate with the assassin.”Wei Zheng said.
"Negotiate?" Zhangsun Wuji's eyes narrowed, and his expression instantly turned ugly.
Wei Zheng said," Lord Zhangsun, I'm also very sad about your son's death. However, now, there has to be a choice between national affairs and personal gains and losses. You're in a high position, so you shouldn't not understand this principle.
Take the Ghastly Assassin for example. Rather than calling him an assassin, it would be better to call him a killer.
A killer without any taboos.
This person was here to kill.
If we can't figure out the purpose of his killing, then Chang 'an will not be at peace.”
Wei Zheng spoke righteously. Zhangsun Wuji's face darkened as he closed his eyes. The muscles on his face kept trembling.
After a while, he opened his eyes and said in a low voice,
"Then what is Lord Wei's opinion?"
Wei Zheng pointed in the direction of the Imperial City." Let's go into the palace to meet the emperor now. We'll join forces with the Supreme Court and the government office to attack. We'll sort out the ins and outs of this matter and investigate it clearly."
As long as he could grasp the Ghastly Assassin's weakness, everything would be easy.”
"Alright, I'll go with you."
Zhangsun Wuji handed the sword to the servant and mounted the horse with Wei Zheng. They turned the horse around and galloped towards the Imperial City.
Rumble!
The black mass of Imperial Guards followed closely behind, pouring into the streets to continue tracking down the whereabouts of the ghost-faced killer.
After a large number of guards left.
One figure after another walked out from the alley in the distance.
Looking at the tightly shut doors of Puzhao Temple and the thick smell of blood in the air, they all looked terrified and pushed away in groups.
...
The Imperial City, Yin Yang Hall.
Officials dressed in red robes, some wearing golden belts, some carrying purple ribbons, stood orderly on both sides of the court.
Following the announcement of the Imperial Attendant, the Minister of Justice Dai Zhou, the Minister of Personnel Gao Jian, the Governor of Jingzhao Wei Kuangbo, and the Duke of Lu Cheng Yaojin stepped forward.
In the main hall, Li Shi Min swept his gaze across the four people and said,"
"I don't care what method you use, you must find out the true purpose of the ghost-faced killer.
I will not allow such a thing to happen again!
In addition, if the princess is still in his hands, think of a way to get him to return the princess!”
"We obey your orders!"
The four people below bowed.
After leaving the Yin Yang Hall, Dai Zhou, Gao Jian, Wei Kuangbo, and Cheng Yaojin formed a four-man team to investigate the assassin and headed to the Supreme Court.
They were going to find someone.
