"Why are you still standing there! Hurry up and send someone to take Mr. Lu back to the Prime Minister's Mansion." Shen Li said angrily to Sima Lang again.
Sima Lang is now the commander of the Yulin Army. Assassins appeared in the imperial city, killing one person and injuring another, and they were all from the Prime Minister's Palace. He knew that he had an unshirkable responsibility, and thought that he would definitely be blamed by the Prime Minister. , then there is no confidence and Shen’s theory.
Sima Lang began to arrange his men: "You guys will escort Mr. Lu back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. You guys will go over there. You guys will follow me later. You two will stay here to protect the scene. You will notify the people from the Criminal Department to come to the scene." …”
"Sima Lang, the assassin is tall and thin. His left shoulder and back have been injured. I hope you will hunt him down as soon as possible to make up for your mistakes. Now send me someone to take me to the official department. I can't find him. Road." Shen Li said.
"You stay and lead Master Shen." Sima Lang arranged for a soldier to say.
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief," the soldier replied.
After arranging the matters, Sima Lang said respectfully to Shen Li: "I'm sorry, Mr. Shen, for frightening you. I will go to the whole city to search for the assassin now."
"You've just been fertilized! Just do what you have to do!" Shen Li said impatiently.
Sima Lang had a dark look on his face. He didn't expect that his dignified second-grade general would be attacked by a third-grade officer, so he turned around and led a team of troops to inspect.
"My lord, please come this way. I will help you lead the way." The soldier made a "please" gesture with his hand and said.
"Well, let's walk."
Under the leadership of the soldiers, Shen Li arrived in front of the official department soon.
"Sir, this is the official department," the soldier said.
"Okay, thank you." Shen Li said casually.
The soldier made a ceremony and then said: "I don't deserve this humble position. It is my honor to lead the way for you. I have to resign from my humble position."
"Okay, then step back."
After the soldiers left, Shen Li entered the gate of the official department.
"Young man, why haven't I seen you? Who are you here for?" A middle-aged man in blue official uniform asked as he looked at Shen Li.
Shen Li took out the edict of accepting his fate, put it in the official's hand, and said, "Huh? Let me show you this."
The official opened the edict and looked at it carefully. It was not only stamped with the central seal, but also stamped with the prince's personal seal, and even the Prime Minister's autograph.
"Master Censor, I am a humble official and have offended you. Please forgive me." The middle-aged man in blue official uniform said respectfully.
"It's okay, please take me to report now." Shen Li said.
"Yes, my lord, please come in." The middle-aged man from the blue government office hurriedly led the way.
"Your Excellency, the Imperial Censor is here to report." The middle-aged man from the Blue Mansion knocked on the door and said.
"Please come in."
"Shen Li comes to see you, Sir." After entering the room, Shen Li bowed and said.
The Minister of Civil Affairs who was writing something put down his pen, stood up in a hurry to greet him, and said: "I don't dare to take it, I don't take it. Master Xiao Shen and I are both of the third grade, wouldn't using the word 'see' not offend me?"
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister Yin asked me to report to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. This is the edict." Shen Li took out the edict and said.
"Seeing that Mr. Xiao Shen is so talented and can be reused at such a young age, his future is really limitless. This edict has been accepted by our officials. There is one more thing for you to come over. You and I are of the same stature. I have a brand new and unworn suit. You put on your third-grade official uniform and official hat first, and I will ask someone to get your official uniform out as soon as possible. This is the waist badge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and this is your imperial censor's official seal."
The Minister of Civil Affairs first took the edict handed over by Shen Li, then took out the things one by one and put them on the table.
Shen Li put on a purple official robe and an official hat, which basically fit him, except that the waist was a little fatter. Shen Li hung the badge on his waist and put the official seal into the ring.
"It fits very well. Although this set of clothes was issued two years ago, I have never worn it once. Sir Shen, don't mind that the official uniform is old." said the Minister of Civil Affairs.
"I can only thank you, Sir, for lending me some clothes. How can I mind?" Shen Li asked.
"Okay, then it's okay. You can be considered as taking office when you put on this official robe. Now there are two censors in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. You are the third one. The post of Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is dedicated to you. To impeach hundreds of officials, to vindicate those who have been wronged, to supervise various departments, and to serve as the emperor's eyes, ears, and officials, Master Xiao Shen has a heavy burden on his shoulders!" said the Minister of Civil Affairs with great sincerity.
"Shen Li would like to thank the Lord Assistant here. If the Lord Assistant has nothing else to do, Shen Li will take his leave first."
After Shen Li left the official department, he went straight to the prime minister's house.
"Senior Brother Yin, I'm back." Shen Li said after seeing Yin Ziping.
"Just come back. I've heard about your assassination. Do you have anyone to suspect now?" Yin Ziping said.
"I have no enemies in Fengcheng and no suspects. I am also confused about this matter. Brother Yin, you see, this piece of cloth fell from the assassin."
After Shen Li finished speaking, he handed the piece of cloth to Yin Ziping.
"Junior Brother Shen, I heard from Ruda that this assassin is an immortal cultivator in the late Golden Elixir stage. Since he was injured by you, he is very likely to seek medical advice. I have sent people to the Alchemist Guild to guard him. If this assassin If he is really hiding somewhere and can't come out, we really won't be able to find him." Yin Ziping said, carefully observing the blood-stained piece of cloth.
"Senior Brother Yin, is it possible that he is from the royal family?" Shen Li asked.
"It's very possible, but I can't tell who it is. The prince definitely has no motive. You are an official appointed by the prince, and you are considered his. The second, third, and fourth children are more likely. The fifth child has just turned thirteen. It should be impossible. The queen is from the Xiao family, and you are the quasi-son-in-law of the Xiao family. It is impossible for her to do anything to you. There is no reason for the two noble concubines to spend a lot of money to hire such a master to kill people. Who can afford such a level killer? In addition to the royal family, there are only four major families: Xiao, Yan, Wang, and Wei, plus the Alchemist Guild and the Fengcheng General Chamber of Commerce." Yin Ziping analyzed.
"Are these princes all the sons of the queen?" Shen Li asked.
"The crown prince and second prince were born to the queen, the third prince was born to Concubine Yan, the fourth prince and the fifth prince were all born to Concubine Wang. In addition, Concubine Yan has two daughters," Yin Ziping said.
At this time, a melodious female voice came: "Shen Li, are you okay?"
Xiao Yingxue knocked on the door.
"Junior sister Xiao, please come in." Yin Ziping said.
After Xiao Yingxue came in, she bowed respectfully to Yin Ziping: "Junior sister has met senior brother Yin."
"Junior sister, no gifts." Yin Ziping said.
"I was afraid that something would happen to Shen Li, so I wanted to go with Cui Jiao with him, but he didn't agree. I guess I met an assassin in the end!" Xiao Yingxue said.
"Haha, Junior Sister Xiao is thoughtful. Junior Brother Shen, you are being watched now. Whenever you go out from now on, please let Junior Sister Xiao and Junior Brother Cui follow you. If someone in the Nascent Soul Stage dares to take action in the city, I can sense it immediately. I will come to rescue you as soon as possible." Yin Ziping smiled and said.
"I will listen to my senior brother's arrangements in everything," Shen Li said.
