Although it was a pity that the body of the Eighth Rank expert was gone just like that.
But Master Fei knew…
He had something more important to do!
That was to write a letter to the Dean, reporting the recent assassination incidents in Nanhai County truthfully.
He spread out a sheet of white paper!
Master Fei sighed, thinking that he had just written a letter not long ago.
Now he had to write a second one.
With no choice, Master Fei solemnly wrote: "Dean! Have the people from East Mountain Road investigate who exactly assassinated Ye Xiao recently!"
"What is the origin of these people, what is their reason for doing this, this matter is very urgent!"
"The Five Greats have put pressure on me!"
"Please act quickly."
There were no extra greetings, no longwinded complaints, just a few short sentences…
Already able to explain the seriousness of the matter!
A few days later!
Master Fei's second letter arrived at the Kyoto Inquisition.
And as Master Fei had expected, it began to send out spies to investigate which forces were behind the recent events in Nanhai County.
The result!
Due to the fact that Nanhai County was backed by the sea, they found many private salt smugglers, bringing down several high officials in the Eastern part of the Great Qing Dynasty.
In this respect, the results were quite significant!
But they were unable to find out which force had carried out the assassination!
According to rumors from Kyoto...
This incident had triggered a number of chain reactions behind the scenes.
For example -
The formidable Inquisition Dean had his entire department fined three months' salary because of this.
So that.
These Inquisition spies scoured the land, their eyes filled with murderous intent.
Soon.
A reply from the Inquisition was delivered to Master Fei.
…
…
Master Fei looked at the reply in his hand!
For some reason, he wanted to laugh every time he saw the Dean's dry and unsightly handwriting, but he had to hold back.
He opened the reply.
Then the content of the letter was also simple!
It first mentioned that at the same time his first letter to the Inquisition arrived, Ye Mansion also sent a letter to Kyoto.
This denied the Inquisition's problem!
It also denied that Ye Xiao's background was exposed.
And it directly stated that those people in Kyoto could not possibly know that Ye Xiao was Ye Qingmei's son.
So the assassination might not have been aimed at this point!
It also mentioned...
Although his trip to Nanhai County was very discreet, it was still possible for those with ulterior motives to discover it.
The Three Institutes and Six Ministries, and even the entire court!
They were all curious about the relationship between the Inquisition and a certain Duke's mansion, and those hidden forces, using the hands of the Duke's second wife, to probe the situation was also possible.
In short!
In response to this matter, he should not overreact.
After reading the letter!
Master Fei casually burned it, and the clues quickly linked together in his mind.
Looking at the current situation!
Master Fei's gaze grew deeper, he didn't know what he was thinking.
For some reason!
He suddenly had a suspicion about the occurrence of the assassination in Nanhai County, he had a feeling.
Maybe...
The Dean had deliberately leaked some information.
No need to doubt.
Others might not be able to do this, but the Dean of the Inquisition.
He really could do it!
…
…
Whatever it was!
With the Dean of the Inquisition's reply delivered to Master Fei.
The assassination incident in Nanhai County!
Had a conclusive explanation, as for Wu Zhu's statement, the Inquisition had also given an answer.
The entire Inquisition!
For this matter, everyone from top to bottom was fined three months' salary.
With these explanations!
Master Fei could finally save face.
But even so, Master Fei could not help but sigh:
"I knew..."
"The Dean sent me to Nanhai County to teach Ye Xiao, it was never a good assignment!"
Finally!
Master Fei didn't hesitate, he went straight to the Blind Man's General Store, no one knew what Master Fei talked to the Blind Man about!
All we know is that after he came out of the general store!
He looked very miserable, not only was his face bruised and swollen, but even the clothes he was wearing were like those of a beggar.
Not far from the Blind Man's General Store!
Chu Yuan and Ye Xiao were sitting in a teahouse watching a play.
They were both intelligent men!
They naturally knew where they should and shouldn't be at this time.
Obviously!
Compared to the general store, this teahouse was the safest and most reliable place.
"Sir, is that beggar our teacher?"
Ye Xiao scratched his head: "Did Uncle Wu Zhu beat him up again?"
Chu Yuan answered seriously: "It seems so!"
Ye Xiao looked at him seriously: "Sir, why are we all talking nonsense?"
Chu Yuan answered seriously again: "Then why don't we..."
"Go and mock him?"
…
…
On the other side!
Kyoto, the Inquisition.
Still in the same dark basement.
Chen Wu Chang pushed his wheelchair to the window, lifted a corner of the black cloth and looked out.
At this time!
A black shadow, like the wind, floated from a corner.
"The letter has reached Master Fei, right?!"
Chen Wu Chang asked.
"Yes." The shadow nodded lightly.
Turning his head to look at the shadow with deep eyes, Chen Wu Chang smiled: "What's wrong? Can't you sit still knowing that Wu Zhu is in Nanhai County?"
The shadow nodded.
A pair of indifferent eyes now had a light called "star chasing" flickering in them.
Then!
The shadow was about to speak when Chen Wu Chang interrupted him: "At this moment, everyone in the Inquisition, except Master Fei..."
"No one is allowed to appear in Nanhai County, that's an order!"
The shadow did not speak!
He knew that after the assassination attempt, if he went to find Wu Zhu.
He would probably be directly taken as an assassin from the Inquisition!
At that time!
He might even lose his life, let alone return.
After thinking about it!
The shadow obediently suppressed the urge to go after Wu Zhu.
Then he quietly left!
Watching the shadow's back disappear, Chen Wu Chang shook his head, and after a long time he sighed softly: "However, this probe has failed..."
As Master Fei had thought!
He had indeed deliberately leaked some information, trying to probe the real strength of Chu Yuan.
Unfortunately!
Chu Yuan never really made a move from start to finish.
His real strength, naturally, could not be judged!
