Shen Yusheng truly regarded Bai Yutian as a confidant, and he knew that Bai Yutian would be a good emperor and that the Great Zhou Dynasty needed Bai Yutian.
Therefore, Shen Yusheng wanted to ensure Bai Yutian's absolute safety.
Bai Yutian smiled bitterly, "I am protected by Zhao Chuxue and Dian Wei, so there will be no serious problems in the palace."
Bai Yutian wanted to give Shen Yusheng reassurance, but it was obvious that Shen Yusheng did not buy Bai Yutian's fault.
He knew how powerful Tianjia was, and in the first wave of assassinations alone, two grandmasters and seven strong men comparable to grandmasters appeared.
If such a lineup were to happen again, it would be difficult for Bai Yutian to resist it, even in the palace.
However, even though Shen Yusheng strongly opposed it, Bai Yutian still assigned everyone according to the original plan and asked them to be responsible for protecting different people.
As for Bai Yutian, he only has the protection of Dian Wei and Zhao Chuxue.
Of course, there is also the musket he carries with him. This musket has been specially modified by Shen Yuxing. Not only has it become smaller in size, but its power has also been improved.
Shen Yusheng sighed and left Shen Yumiao behind.
During this period, Shen Yumiao temporarily stayed in the palace, and like Dianwei and Zhao Chuxue, protected Bai Yutian personally.
Bai Yutian did not refuse.
Moreover, Bai Yutian also left Shen Yusheng behind and let him live in a mansion near the palace, surrounded by heavy military guards.
Shen Yusheng is the owner of the Hidden Sword Villa and can command the entire Hidden Sword Villa. He is also the dean of the Martial Arts Academy, so he must not make any mistakes.
However, while Bai Yutian was anxiously arranging things, something happened again in Tailin City.
Another minister of the Zhou Dynasty was assassinated and was discovered in the evening. Like the previous one, his whole family was killed.
The spread of this news plunged the entire Tailin City into a bloody storm. Everyone in the imperial court, civil and military, was in danger, fearing that they would be next.
In one day, two ministers died in succession, and their families were also killed. It was a heavy blow to Dazhou.
Bai Yutian was furious. He had now determined that the murderer of these people was Tian Jia. He wanted to catch Tian Jia immediately and crush their bones to ashes.
At the same time, Bai Yutian's order was quickly issued to the city guard camp.
Tailin City is relatively safe at present, with no attacking enemy troops around. Therefore, according to Bai Yutian's order, the city guard battalions are scattered throughout Tailin City to protect the lives of the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
At this time, Tailin City showed a terrifying mobilization power. In a short period of time, an army of 100,000 people was divided into different groups, responsible for protecting different people.
As for Yuncheng and the others, they even arranged heavy defense.
Obviously, Tianjia's goal has been achieved, and the entire Tailin City is in panic.
And the power to protect Bai Yutian also became empty.
Tianjia didn't seem to intend to take action against Bai Yutian, but continued to look at the ministers.
Although they are protected by soldiers, they are not foolproof.
You must know that the people of Tianjia are also pseudo-grandmasters at the end. They come out in force, and even an army of several thousand people can compete with them.
The next day, another tragedy occurred in Tailin City, involving the Minister of Punishment.
This is the highest-ranking official who has been assassinated so far. Bai Yutian arranged for hundreds of troops to protect him, but Tianjia still succeeded, and more than a dozen of these hundreds of soldiers died.
This heinous behavior has touched Bai Yutian's bottom line, leaving him no room for maneuver with Tianjia and Dashun.
However, fortunately, the city guards rescued the eldest son and eldest daughter of the Minister of Justice, a total of three people.
The city guard battalions have special communication methods with each other and can provide rapid support to each other.
Although Tianjia was able to kill the target among these people, they chose to retreat in order to avoid trouble.
Their mission is not to kill these people, but to turn Tailin City upside down.
Bai Yutian came to the Law Enforcement Department under the protection of Zhao Chuxue and Dian Wei, and the journey was uneventful without any accidents.
Tianjia seems to have changed his temper, not targeting Bai Yutian at all, but only targeting civilians and ministers.
Bai Yutian was angry but also felt powerless. He would rather these assassins target and kill him than see the people and ministers suffer.
Bai Yutian came to the Law Enforcement Department and met the three children of the surviving Minister of Justice.
"Sir, I want to report to the official, I want to report to the official." Just after Bai Yutian entered the Law Enforcement Department, an old man's voice sounded outside. The voice sounded very panicked.
Zhang Hui happened to be next to Bai Yutian. Seeing this, he went directly to greet him personally. Not that he was so enthusiastic, but almost all the people from the Law Enforcement Department had been sent out, and now there was no one available.
The number of people who have come to report to the police in the past few days is more than the total number of people in the past few years.
Zhang Hui brought the old man in without being surprised, "Tell me, what happened?"
"Sir, someone died in my inn?"
"Who died? When was it discovered?" Zhang Hui asked calmly.
The old man patted his forehead and said: "The person who died was my waiter. He disappeared after delivering food to the guests that night and did not come the next day. I asked the guest in the room and said that the waiter put the food in.
Then he left."
"As a result, when cleaning up this evening, the cook discovered the body of the waiter in the woodshed."
"Ahem!" Zhang Hui coughed twice, "I'll go with you to check the situation."
There was no one in the Law Enforcement Department, so Zhang Hui had no choice but to take action personally, but he also knew that he would definitely not get any useful clues when he went to check the situation this time, so it would be a waste of time.
"etc!"
Zhang Hui and the old man were about to leave, but were stopped by Bai Yutian.
"What does the guest in the room look like? Do they have any characteristics?" Bai Yutian asked casually.
It seems unintentional, but it is intentional.
"Well, I can't remember the specific appearance. Anyway, he looks about forty years old, and he is quite tall. His clothes and accent look like people from Longxi. They came here in the heavy rain two nights ago.
Our inn…”
"Two days ago...it rained heavily..." Bai Yutian and others keenly grasped the key words mentioned by the old man.
Two days ago, it rained heavily. Wasn't it the first night that these recent cases occurred?
"Old man, why don't you wait a moment, I'll arrange for some other people to go together." Bai Yutian said timidly.
"Sir, this matter is extremely urgent. My guys are too scared to cook!" the old man said anxiously.
"Don't worry, it will be soon." Bai Yutian comforted the old man, and then whispered a few words in Zhao Chuxue's ear, asking Zhao Chuxue to do it immediately.
After Zhao Chuxue heard this, she bowed with her fists clasped in her hands, then immediately stood up and left.
