Yu Wenhao and Tang Yang returned to the Yamen early the next morning, and the imperial decree arrived, ordering the Ministry of Punishment to jointly review the case, and the trial would be held in the afternoon.
Before the trial, he summoned the ghost guards privately.
The Ghost Guards were sent to protect Yuan Qingling under the orders of the Supreme Emperor, and generally would not leave easily.
However, a fire immediately led them to leave, leaving Yuan Qing Ling alone. There must be something behind this.
Sure enough, after careful questioning, I found out that the Ghost Shadow Guards had recently received a tip-off that someone had approached Mingyue Tower and wanted to buy King Qi's head for fifty thousand taels.
However, the secret report was not sent back by the Ghost Guard, and its authenticity was uncertain. The Supreme Emperor then ordered people to keep an eye on Mingyue Tower and other killer organizations. As for why they stared at Mingyue Tower instead of at Prince Qi's Mansion, it was because the Supreme Emperor believed that the secret report was false.
The real purpose may not be the King of Qi, but most likely the King of Chu.
Ask the Ghost Shadow Guards to keep an eye on Mingyue Tower. No matter if they attack King Qi or King Chu, they can intervene in time.
However, the Supreme Emperor also had a backup strategy in mind. He sent a message to the ghost guards outside to pay more attention to Prince Qi's Mansion. Once any movement was discovered, the nearby ghost guards must go to help.
This is why the Ghost Shadow Guard found out that there was a fire in Prince Qi's Mansion and immediately left Princess Chu behind. It was because of the Supreme Emperor's will.
In addition, Yu Wenhao was by Princess Chu's side at the time, and Prince Sun's Mansion was holding a birthday banquet, so the defense was tight and nothing could go wrong.
Tang Yang broke out in a cold sweat after hearing what the Ghost Shadow Guard said, "Your Majesty, could it be that Princess Qi has read through the thoughts of the Supreme Emperor?"
First spread the news and let the Supreme Emperor know that the Supreme Emperor must have ordered people to pay close attention to Prince Qi's palace, and then chose to attack at Prince Sun's birthday party because the two palaces are not far apart and the Ghost Shadow Guards can quickly discover when they secretly protect Yuan Qing Ling.
The dangerous situation in Prince Qi's Mansion attracted the ghost guards.
When the fire in Prince Qi's Mansion burns, it will definitely burn into the sky. From the location of Prince Sun's Mansion, you can quickly and clearly see the momentum of the fire. Once the fire cannot be stopped from spreading, it will burn to nearby houses, and in this area, basically
It is the Marquis Mansion. If it burns down, it will be a series of fires with countless casualties. In view of this, everyone must try their best to put out the fire, so this fire also attracted Chu King Yu Wenhao and others.
In Prince Sun's mansion, Ah Si was the only one who knew martial arts.
The other princesses are not in danger, so who can assassinate the other princesses?
Therefore, the only one in danger was Princess Chu. With Ah Si's martial arts, Princess Chu could be protected. At least, when something happened, Ah Si delayed it so that people from Prince Sun's Palace could go to Prince Qi's Palace for help.
Unexpectedly, Ah Si was stabbed, making it like entering a deserted place for the bad guys to enter Prince Sun's Mansion.
In addition, all the masters in the inner hall were drugged, and when Princess Chu was taken away, it took a while in Prince Sun's Mansion before anyone went to report the news.
This back and forth was enough for Chu Mingcui to leave with Yuan Qingling.
After asking the ghost guards, Yu Wenhao asked the two coolies who were already conscious and brought back from the ship.
They are not coolies, let alone members of a killer organization, they are just bandits who once fell into disgrace.
This is why the Supreme Emperor is clearly keeping an eye on the major killer organizations, and they can still massacre Prince Sun's Mansion.
It seems like such a simple plan, but in fact every step is interconnected, and everyone is included in the scheme.
Now Tang Yang finally believed that Chu Mingcui could never do this alone.
Robbers and bandits are not as particular about trustworthiness as killers. They fell into Yu Wenhao's hands and naturally resorted to anything in order to survive.
Unfortunately, no breakthrough was found on them, because the person who came into contact with them was Chu Mingcui, and they didn't know how Chu Mingcui found them.
