Chapter 5284

After chatting with Ji Youlan for a short time and confirming the rough plan, Ye Wudao hung up the communication, but Dao Qing's expression changed slightly.

"Brother, something happened..."

"Huh?" Ye Wudao was confused. Dao Qing didn't know what news he had received just now, and his face was extremely solemn.

Dao Qing sighed and said helplessly: "My lord, Commander Long in the palace has not come yet, but when guarding the inner ring, another minister was assassinated, and this time... it was successful!"

"What!?" Ye Wudao sat up in shock, his eyes were cold and stern, and he was very angry.

Presumably the guards in the palace did not neglect their duties, and they must have stepped up their vigilance in the past few days. Under such circumstances, something happened, and even the assassination was successful. This is simply unbelievable.

What's even more frightening is that this incident is like setting a precedent. One thing will lead to another. It is difficult to say clearly whether this kind of thing will happen again.

"Who died?" Ye Wudao's face was a little cold.

"The new right minister of the Ministry of Industry was assassinated on the way to the Sixth Emperor's Mansion. The murderer..." Dao Qing was reporting when suddenly someone wearing gold armor broke into the house.

Dao Qing was startled. After seeing the person clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be a certain palace commander. The latter held a golden sword and rushed in aggressively. He cupped his fists and bowed to Ye Wudao.

"Master Ye! I have something urgent to report!"

Ye Wudao looked calm and extremely indifferent, and said: "Please tell me, Commander, is it related to assassination?"

"Yes, sir!" the commander said, "It seems that your Excellency has a rough idea of ​​what happened. The murderer is not yet clear yet. The palace has sent additional manpower to guard the inner ring with our town capital!"

Originally, this group of strong men from the Zhendu Mansion came from the palace. Even though Ye Wudao seemed to have the ability to command them, in fact, it was the emperor of Shenxia who really commanded them.

Therefore, in the final analysis, this matter was the reason why the palace guards were not optimistic about it, but the responsibility lies with Ye Wudao.

"I understand. You should work overtime before and after going to court tomorrow. This matter will be left to the palace guards to investigate, or to Commander Long when he arrives." Ye Wudao waved his hand and prepared to rest. .

Seeing this, the palace commander looked puzzled: "Sir, why don't you go and have a look at such an important matter? After all, it is within the protection scope of our town, and we have to bear an unshirkable responsibility."

Ye Wudao laughed: "Why is it necessary? Back off."

To be honest, Ye Wudao felt that there was really no need to go and take a look. In terms of actual power, Zhendu Mansion was not that big now, and the strong men from the palace could not be said to be his.

Moreover, no matter how you look at it, this matter was premeditated. If clues can be found, then something is wrong. It must be that no clues can be found, or someone deliberately left wrong clues.

In short, it was a waste of Ye Wudao's time, and Ye Wudao didn't want to care about it.

Finally getting some time to rest, Ye Wudao rested until the next morning, and then went to attend the court meeting energetically. However, before reaching the Jinluan Hall, he found many people on the road who looked not very good.

It seems that not many people had a good rest last night, and they were all discussing the important matter of assassination.

On the way, they happened to meet a group of officials headed by Liu Zhenyun, the Minister of Civil Affairs. They also walked up and spoke to Ye Wudao one after another.

"Shang Shu Ye, do you know what happened yesterday?"

"Is there still any danger in the city now?"

"Master Ye, can you..."

Their worries can be seen from their nervous faces. The newly appointed right minister of the Ministry of Industry is from their group, and of course he is also from the Sixth Emperor's Palace, so in other words, the power of the Sixth Emperor's Palace has been hit.

Such a blow will undoubtedly greatly reduce everyone's morale, and even make people think of surrendering to the enemy. Even ministers dare to kill them. What can't those people who are hostile to them do?
