The guards from the National Law Department guarding Siyang arrived quickly and took over the scene from Li Zai.
Such movement is naturally terrifying.
The emperor almost made a plot, and everyone in the National Law Department stood at the scene with numbness and clenched teeth.
Even if they haven't met Han Dongwen a few times, they all recognize Li Zai.
And who else could it be to have Lieutenant Xiu as his personal guard if not the Emperor?
The entire flower street has been put under martial law, and not even a bird can move rashly.
"Your Highness, unknown, traveled for a short trip, the garrison was not strict, and the approach was not thorough. Please forgive me, Your Highness Wanwang!"
The leader should be a captain-like figure. He was already lying prostrate in front of Han Dongwen, not daring to move.
Li Zai stood behind Han Dongwen, pacing with his hands behind his back, looking back and forth at the corpses without saying a word.
Han Dongwen looked around and realized that it was time for him to speak.
"Keep your head up."
Han Dongwen said in a deep voice.
Little Hongdou stood behind him, intentionally or unintentionally, trying to stand as far away from the bloody scene as possible.
After she confirmed, the guy who took her jade token was indeed dead in the crowd.
But there was no jade plaque on his body and no wallet.
Han Dongwen thought about it and felt that it could only be the associate who informed the assassin of the matter, either proactively or under coercion.
Now that the puppet is dead, and no identifying objects have been found on his body, it can be said that in the eyes of the National Defense Department, all clues have been lost.
Then, it is only up to Han Dongwen to decide whether to connect this matter with the Department of National Law.
After all, he was the only one who knew that what Xiao Hongdou eavesdropped was information that was detrimental to the National Law Department.
Only he knows that the cases currently being investigated by Simeng's "Public Security Bureau" are probably committed by the Director of Public Security himself!
"Your Highness..."
The captain raised his head tremblingly, but still knelt on the ground.
"Everyone here today will be investigated thoroughly by me, and no trace of the situation will be missed!"
Han Dongwen waved his hand in a pretentious manner, and the captain nodded in agreement, with cold sweat already covering his back.
He was just a captain of the Siyang Guards. He was the first to arrive just because he was the closest. How could he have imagined such a big scene!
Han Dongwen paused for a moment and noticed that Li Zai didn't interrupt, and then the stone in his heart fell to the ground.
Asking the National Justice Department to investigate the National Justice Department itself will not leave any clues for Tantai to recover.
"besides."
Han Dongwen paused and said: "Inform the Chief of the Department of National Justice and come to the palace tomorrow to take responsibility. I would like to ask how this Siyang manages it. Outside the palace, he dares to be so lawless!"
"yes!"
The team leader was banging his head as if pounding garlic. As for how he, a captain on duty, would notify the General Directorate of National Law, there was no need to think about it for the time being.
Li Zai walked forward, leaned into Han Dongwen's ear and whispered: "Your Highness, something has happened today. Please enter the palace as soon as possible. Safety is the first priority."
He had a relaxed look on his face, as if the assassin he had just fought was another person, and finally got the chance to go back.
Han Dongwen nodded, walked around the kneeling captain in front of him, and took a step forward.
"Go back to the palace!"
Hearing this, Xiao Hongdou hurriedly bit her lips and quickly chased after him.

Human puppet.
This is one of the spells. Logically speaking, it cannot be brought into the city, but it is difficult to detect. Therefore, even in the game, the puppet will only be arrested by the guards when it causes trouble.
As the name suggests, this is a form of puppetry.
The human puppet technique that players can use is to create a human puppet from materials, and then within a certain range, either coordinate operations or focus on control.
But it is precisely because the death of a human puppet only results in the loss of materials and does not cause the death of the player's body. The mainstream gameplay of human puppets is that the puppet is the big brother. The player only acts as a baby hiding in the dark and holding the remote control. The combat power of the body is very high. weak.
At the same time, the puppet genre is being developed in the direction of its elder brother. The materials and combat power of the puppet itself are becoming increasingly luxurious. For characters of the same level, the puppet is even more difficult to deal with than ordinary players.
Because of this, when facing human puppet players, the average player has only one purpose.
That is to find the real master who controls the puppet.
The range of manipulation of the human puppet naturally varies based on the materials used to create the puppet. The more advanced the human puppet, the further away its operator may be and the harder it is to find it.
"Li Zai, what do you think of the assassin's strength just now and how much of a threat he is?"
On the way back to the palace, Han Dongwen asked casually.
Li Zai followed a few steps behind him. At this time, he clasped his hands behind his head and said in a relaxed tone: "How strong... It should be said that he is not as good as a humble minister."
Han Dongwen nodded: "But that's a human puppet. We haven't found the real assassin, so we still can't take it lightly."
After hearing these words, Li Zai's footsteps suddenly paused for a moment.
"His Highness really reacted with thunder today, knowing everything clearly."
He still squinted his eyes and said this with a smile.
What he was alluding to was, of course, Han Dongwen's strange ability to detect crises one step ahead of others.
But what can be done?
Han Dongwen himself didn’t even know what was going on!
Han Dongwen swallowed, waved his hands pretending to be calm, and showed a confident smile: "Hahahaha, I really like hearing what you say. It is precisely because of my clear understanding that I can be such a wise king!"
He patted Li Zai on the shoulder and said with a grin: "Li Buwei did a good job today! You should be rewarded for your service in escorting him. I will ask Taishu Pavilion to reward you heavily in the near future, and it will be calculated together with your expenses today!"
After saying that, Han Dongwen rolled his eyes and licked his lips obscenely: "If nothing happens, just step back. I still have some... I still have some important things to deal with!"
Li Zai's expression did not change, and he bowed deeply to him and said: "Since His Highness is fine, I have resigned. Please rest assured, Your Highness, I am guarding this palace, and there will definitely not be any oversights like just now."
"It's so good, it's so good!"
Han Dongwen laughed, hugged Xiao Hongdou into his arms, turned around and walked towards his harem.
Behind him, Li Zai maintained his bowing posture, but opened his eyes slightly, looking at Han Dongwen's back playfully until he could no longer see him.
The sun was setting in the west, and the sapphire slabs under his feet were already covered with a layer of sunset fire.
Li Zai straightened up and stretched, as if he had spent a very tiring day.
Then, he took out his Poria thorn from his waist, held the center with one finger, and brought it to his eyes for closer inspection.
"Tantai Fu, is the thing you keep in the palace really just a mascot?"
He muttered and closed his eyes.
When the wind blew up, the delicate balance on Li Zai's fingertips was shaken, and the Poria thorn swayed back and forth a few times before finally falling from his fingertips. It spun half a circle in the air, and when it landed on the ground, it made a "scratching" sound and pierced the stone crevice with its sharp tip.
Li Zai looked down at the Poria Thorns thoughtfully, but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
