Yong 'an Lane, Cui's residence.
The Imperial Censorate 'Second Master Cui' Cui Wangshan had rushed over overnight to take charge of the situation after hearing that his brother had been killed.
The one who had been accompanying Cui Wangshan was the expert of the House of Smoky Waves, the Fifth Pavilion, Sun Wuheng.
" Before the assassination, there was no strange movement. This is very strange," Sun Wuheng explained to Cui Wangshan.
"At that time, there were people guarding Third Master Cui's room in the courtyard, but they didn't notice anything strange..."
"This murderer seems to know how to turn invisible!”
Cui Wangshan immediately asked," The murderer has been caught!”
"We didn't catch him alive. He's already dead!”Sun Wuheng replied.
"Then take me to the murderer's body!”Cui Wangshan said.
The murderer's corpse was lying in the courtyard. He was surrounded here and could not escape. In the end, he was stabbed multiple times and bled to death.
Cui Wangshan saw that the murderer was wearing a black mask. He squatted down and pulled down the mask.
The murderer's face was very ordinary, so ordinary that it was as if he would never be able to find him again if he walked into a sea of people in front of him.
The White Flame Assassin was an assassin type that was manufactured in the training camp. Naturally, their appearance would not have facial features that could be easily remembered.
Besides, Cui Wangshan also noticed that there was a white flame symbol on the back and chest of the murderer's night-traveling suit.
This attracted Cui Wangshan's attention.
Ordinary Assassins did not need to add such eye-catching patterns on their night clothes.
Unless he came from an assassin group, and the white flame was the symbol of the assassin group.
" White Flames Assassin…"
Cui Wangshan stared at the dark night in a daze and frowned.
"There must be someone behind him. No matter who it is, I, Cui Wangshan, will find him and avenge my brother!”
Sun Wuheng said," Our House of Smoky Waves will also do our best to investigate the power behind this white flame…"
……
In the next few nights, there were murders in Chang 'an City. One of the murders happened to be witnessed by a witness.
The eyewitness recalled that the murderer had a white flame symbol on his chest, similar to the murderer in the Cui residence murder case.
In a short time, the white fireworks became a legend in Chang 'an and became a topic of conversation when people drank tea. Some storytellers even wrote a biography about it.
Today, in the court, Cui Wangshan, who was in charge of the Imperial Censorate, reported this matter to Li Er,
" Your Majesty, I think that the White Flames Killer may be from an extremely brutal killer gang. If we don't eradicate them as soon as possible, there will be more murders in Chang 'an!"”
Li Er was not interested in this matter. Since ancient times, it had been a common black industry.
It was very troublesome to trace back these killer gangs. They often had a wide range of connections. Moreover, if you eliminated one, the other would quickly rise up.
Besides, Li Er had also trained a team of assassins. If he gave the power to re-investigate and someone accidentally found out about him, wouldn't it be very embarrassing?
More importantly, the Imperial Censorate had Wei Zheng as their "top dog". Naturally, Li Erduan would not send the Imperial Censorate to investigate the killer trade.
Li Er also knew that Cui Wangshan was concerned about this because his younger brother was recently killed.
However, Cui Wangshan's younger brother, Cui Yifeng, was not a good person either.
Cui Yifeng relied on the support of the Great Scholars and his brother, who was an official in the Imperial Censorate, to do many things in private.
This was called karma. The murderer might have done a good deed for the people.
"I understand. I will ask the Ministry of Justice to investigate this matter.”Lee said perfunctorily.
"Your Majesty, I also hope to investigate this matter together!”Cui Wangfeng requested.
"Your Imperial Censorate has a lot of matters to deal with, so don't interfere with this matter for now. Let the Ministry of Justice investigate first!”Li Er said,
Li Er's off-topic topic was naturally," Your Imperial Censorate shouldn't interfere blindly. It has nothing to do with your Imperial Censorate. Let the Ministry of Justice investigate for eight to ten years first."
Although Cui Wangfeng was unhappy about this, he did not dare to show it in front of Li Er.
Even without the support of the country, he could still borrow the strength of the House of Smoky Waves.
Anyway, this matter was not over!
……
In the past few days, Lin Ye had accumulated 1,900 taels of silver through his "side job" as an assassin.
He took out all the money from the counter through the certificate and then deposited it in another counter.
As for the houses in the city, Lin Ye had his eyes on one in Yiyang Lane. It occupied about three acres of land and had a courtyard, a rockery, and a small pond. There were 27 rooms and the price was only 270 taels.
Lin Ye planned to buy this place first. When he earned more money in the future, he would buy a bigger one.
P.S. Please ask for flowers and tickets!
