C96 Part1

....

The iron must be struck while still hot, or so they say.

Therefore Murong Yu brought his elite soldiers to raid the Linglong Pavilion with great fanfare.

Now the matter will soon spread throughout the Imperial Capital, and the Civil and Military Officials will soon receive news about it.

Acting now would mean using half the effort to arrest people.

Thus Murong Yu assigned two groups of people to head to the homes of Master Wan Fang and Wang Tao to arrest them together.

That day, both Master Wan Fang and Master Wang Tao were not on duty in the Military Supervisor Facility.

Murong Ci ordered Qin Ruo to return to the East Palace quickly, and Qin Ruo took the order.

After Murong Yu finished arranging his command, he said to her:

"His Highness, it's better to wait for the good news in the Royal Palace."

Princess Duanrou should have already gone to bed at this hour, and she wouldn't come to pester her so she entered the Palace generously, but after a few steps, she stopped abruptly, frowning,

"No!"

Murong Yu was also aware of the seriousness of the situation.

His face became cold, and he dashed towards the mount of his horse, leaped up sharply, took the reins, and reached out to her, and said,

"Come up!"

She knew that his horse was a special one, and his feet were not comparable to that of an ordinary horse.

Gritting her teeth, she put her hand on his palm and flew on his horse.

Under the dark black night, they rode the horse hurriedly and the elite soldiers followed after them, and the loud hooves resounded through the midnight.

"Head to Master Wang Tao's house."

Murong Ci didn't explain.

The Officials in the Military Supervisor Facility were insidious, cunning and scheming, and among them, the mastermind, Master Wang Tao, was the greediest of them all for money, not so courageous, and easy to give in, so Master Wang Tao had to be chosen as a breakthrough point.

He didn't ask her why, but he spurred the horse and they arrived at Master Wang Tao's house soon.

Murong Yu raised his hand, and a black shadow soared into the sky from behind them, landed on the roof of Master Wang Tao's house, and flew quickly to the backyard.

She knew that man was Murong Yu's secret Ghost Guard, with a high Martial Arts, and he should be comparable to him.

He took her to the roof, crouched in the dark, and stared under the cover of night.

Sure enough, a dark shadow flew out from the backyard and ran away to the east.

Murong Yu raised his breath and chased after the shadow, with his large robe spreading, and his arms sweeping across the sky like black flames, like an eagle spreading its wings under the vast night.

Murong Ci stayed where she was, watching him being swallowed by the darkness, with her heart fluctuating in thoughts:

Master Wan Fang and Master Wang Tao were in charge of supervising the Military Supervisor Facility.

When they had visited it not long ago, they also made an incursion at night to inspect the secret underground of the Military Supervisor Facility.

The Young Master in Golden Clothes should have been aware of it.

He wouldn't directly kill Officials related to the Linglong Pavilion.

After all, too many people were involved, and killing too many people would eventually expose him more.

Furthermore, he didn't worry that those Officials would expose the secrets of the Linglong Pavilion, because those Officials didn't know about the secret core of the Linglong Pavilion.

However, Master Wan Fang and Master Wang Tao of the Military Supervisor Facility were different:

They had been investigated by us and would have definitely been watched closely by the Royal King.

The Young Master in Golden Clothes expected this and must have ordered his people to kill them to prevent Master Wan Fang and Master Wang Tao from speaking.

In this way, she was even more sure that the matter of the Young Master in Golden Clothes eager to kill people with Opium Poppy, and the private sale of Military weapons by the Military Supervisor Facility were most likely related to the Linglong Pavilion.

The Ghost Guard brought the wounded Master Wang Tao out.

Master Wang Tao was assassinated by a man in black clothes in his sleep.

He was so frightened and covered in blood, with a sword stabbed in his chest.

The assassin missed the central vein, and he would not die for a while.

At this time, the elite soldiers of the Royal Palace had arrived and surrounded the house.

When Master Wang Tao saw this scene, he lay on the ground seriously injured, with all thoughts in his mind, knowing that everything was over.

The Ghost Guard made a simple emergency bandage for him, and Murong Ci jumped off the wall and coldly ordered:

"All the Family members must be taken to the prison of the Ministry of Justice, waiting for judgment!"

"Your Highness, please be merciful...

Your Highness please spare my family..."

Master Wang Tao endured the pain in his heart and climbed to her feet, begging desperately.

"Your life was saved by this Prince, so isn't that already very kind of me?"

She said coldly with arms around her chest.

"I beg you..."

He sat down and cried bitterly, with his clothes stained with blood, which was very evident on the white clothes.
