I have never seen Xiao Yuan lose such a temper. Ye Cheng stood below, bowed slightly, couldn't help but swallowed, and quickly responded:

"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely pry the assassin's mouth open due to my humble position."

As he spoke, he prepared to bow and leave.

"Wait a minute!" Xiao Yuan stopped him and frowned: "Ye Cheng, who do you think would attack Mr. Liu? And it happened to be when Mr. Liu was inspecting the place."

Hearing this, Ye Cheng thought for a moment, rolled his eyes, and said in a concentrated voice: "My lord, you mean that the assassin should be from Fengyang?"

"Well..." Xiao Yuan pondered for a moment and said: "Whether it is in Fengyang or not, now that the assassin has been arrested, in order to prevent the mastermind from escaping, the entire Qin region, especially Fengyang County, has been sealed off, and the entire city has been put under martial law!"

"Yes! I will go down and make arrangements right now." Ye Cheng was shocked.

"In addition, I heard that it was fortunate that an officer from your headquarters arrived this time, otherwise Mr. Liu would have died." Xiao Yuan said again.

"Yes, my lord, Qi Ying happened to be checking some old cases in Fengyang's jurisdiction at that time. When he came across this incident, he subdued the assassin." Ye Cheng replied.

"Qi Ying? Your name sounds familiar." Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows and thought for a moment.

Ye Cheng hurriedly said: "This person is the one named by the lord himself, who was transferred from the ravine to the headquarters."

After being reminded by him, Xiao Yuan suddenly said: "Oh, yes, I remembered it. This Qi Ying is good, young and very capable. I have read his files carefully. Now that I have time,

Meet him. You go down first, this case must be solved."

"Yes! I resign from my humble position." Ye Cheng saluted respectfully.

Wuwei Mansion.

At this time, the assassin had already been taken to the headquarters and was being interrogated in prison.

After Ye Cheng came back, he first conveyed the order of the blockade immediately, then found Qi Ying and said to him: "Xiao Qi, you have made a great contribution this time. Do you know, I just met you?"

See my lord, my lord has mentioned your name!"

"What!?" Qi Ying's eyes widened when he heard this.

Now Xiao Yuan's status in Qin is different from that of a king. He has to name him personally. Can Qi Ying not be nervous and excited?

He was so excited that he didn't know what to say, but Ye Cheng said: "But don't take it lightly, the case is not over yet! The master is furious and must pry open the assassin's mouth!"

As he spoke, he asked again: "By the way, where is the assassin?"

"Hu Wei is interrogating." Qi Ying's tone was full of excitement.

"Let's go and take a look." Ye Cheng waved his hand.

The two of them arrived at the dungeon, but before they even got close, they could vaguely hear the screams coming from the assassin.

"Tell me! Who ordered you!"

"Don't you feel this kind of life is worse than death? Why do you have to hold on! Tell me and I will give you a good time!"

In the prison, Hu Wei was shouting questions, and at the same time kept his hands on him, using torture, but the assassin just screamed and still refused to let go.

Not long after, Ye Cheng stepped in. Seeing him, Hu Wei quickly stepped forward, bowed and said, "Sir."

"Well, how's it going?" Ye Cheng asked.

"This..." Hu Wei paused and said: "There is nothing gained yet, but if I give you some time, no matter how tough the assassin is, he will still have to speak."

Hearing this, Ye Cheng glanced at the assassin and saw that his hair was disheveled and covered in blood. He seemed to be in a daze. He lowered his head and frowned slightly and said: "Don't kill him. This time the lord is furious. If not,

Find out who is behind this, and you and I will both be implicated."

"I understand, sir, please rest assured." Hu Wei vowed, "He will definitely not be able to withstand it for three days at most."

"Three days..." Ye Cheng murmured: "Three days, I'm afraid I will be reprimanded..."

Upon hearing this, Qi Ying said tentatively: "Sir, how about this. Hu Wei will continue the interrogation here, and on the other side, I will go to Fengyang again to see if there are any clues."

"you mean……"

"My lord, just imagine, who would send an assassin to kill Lord Liu? Lord Liu has no enmity with anyone. On the side of the lord, he has implemented a series of policies that benefit the people, more than among the people. Such a good official, the Qin Dynasty

It's too late for the people to love him, and he will definitely not assassinate him. The only people who can enmity with him are those powerful people, so we can start from here." Qi Ying explained.

After hearing what he said, Ye Cheng couldn't help but feel moved in his heart and said: "Well, there is some truth in what he said. You should go to Fengyang quickly."

"Yes!" Qi Ying cupped his fists and turned around.

The next day, Fengyang South Gate.

Xiao Yuan was furious and ordered the general government to issue an order. At this time, the entire Fengyang and the city gates were already under military martial law and pedestrians were not allowed to enter or exit.

This incident has become quite a big fuss, but the people don't know the whole story. At present, countless people have gathered at the city gate.

Some people are pushing carts, some are carrying burdens, some are going to the city for the market, some are going out of the city to visit relatives, and all the pedestrians coming and going are gathered here.

The city gate was noisy, and soldiers stood in large numbers, blocking the people. Among the crowd, Diao Fu finally squeezed his way to the front, and said with a shy smile to a soldier:

"Master Jun, why is the city closed?"

"Don't ask if you shouldn't ask! In short, no one is allowed to enter or leave Fengyang for these two days!" The soldiers had a tough attitude.

"This..." Hearing this, Diao Fu's heart tightened. He already knew that the assassin had been caught, and was about to run away for fear that the incident would be exposed. But now the whole city is under martial law, and the gates everywhere are heavily guarded.

, how can he get out?

After being choked, he said with a smile on his face: "Oh, Master, look at my goods. If I don't rush, it will be too late. The goods will be lost. What should I do? Please make it easier for me, Master."

ah……"

As he spoke, he calmly took out a piece of gold and secretly handed it to the soldier.

Yo! Seeing this, the soldier couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

This piece of gold can be enough for ordinary people to live comfortably for a long time. He was just about to stretch out his hand, but suddenly there was an angry shout from behind:

"What!?"

Hearing this shout, the soldiers' hands trembled. They didn't dare to pick up the gold. Instead, they pushed Diao Fu away and yelled: "Go, go! Don't hinder the city gate defense!"

The latter staggered as he was pushed. When he saw an officer approaching, he felt guilty and hid in the crowd.

The person who came was none other than Qi Ying. He first glared at the soldiers, then looked at Diao Fu's leaving figure calmly, and whispered to his subordinates: "Send someone to keep an eye on him."

"Yes." His subordinates responded and left.

At this time, the people at the city gate also began to make a fuss, and some people shouted:

"At this time in the past, the city had already been opened, why didn't we let us out?"

"No trouble is allowed! This is the order of the prefect! The city will be opened within three days at most!"
Chapter completed!
