C1553 There's an Assassin
"Grand Preceptor, stop shouting. Take a rest." At this time, Huang Feng said faintly, "When Zhen just came, he saw that the guards outside are too tired, so let them rest first."
"This..." The panic in the old man's heart grew even more!
The old man knew his guards very well. Because what they were going to discuss tonight was very important. So... The people he arranged to stand guard outside were all people he trusted very much. These people were only loyal to him, they wouldn't even listen to the orders of the Emperor. Those were their family's men of sacrifice, if they didn't have their own orders... They couldn't withdraw, no one could order them... Even if this person was the current emperor, they could not!
In the end, Huang Feng told them to rest. This made him feel that something was unusual. It was impossible for those guards to leave without his order. This was too difficult to understand.
"Could it be that something happened to those guards outside?" The old man thought.
However, he shook his head immediately. Those people were carefully selected by him. They all had good skills, so it was impossible for them to be easily dealt with. Besides, even if they were taken care of, it was impossible for them to remain silent. They did not even hear any sounds of fighting from the outside just now. So... Those people should be fine, but if nothing happened... Why didn't they come in after hearing his order?
The old man expressed that he couldn't figure it out.
However, even if he couldn't figure it out, Huang Feng still had to deal with it first. He said, "His Majesty really cares about his subordinates."
"Zhen has always been very concerned about his subjects. However, some people are cruel and heartless. Zhen treats him well and he still wants to bite me. My dear subject, what do you think Zhen should do about such a person?"
"This..." The old man felt that Huang Feng was implying something. However, he did not dare to confirm it and could only say perfunctorily, "Regarding such unscrupulous things, His Majesty naturally does not need to be polite to them."
"That's right. Zhen thinks so!" Huang Feng stood up and said. Then he walked to the dead official and said, "Then, dear ministers, can you explain it to me? What is the matter with this beloved minister?"
"This..." Everyone present was stunned. They had actually forgotten just now. There was still a corpse here. Huang Feng had just turned a blind eye to this corpse. They had all forgotten about this matter. Now, they heard Huang Feng ask about it all of a sudden. For a moment, they didn't know how to answer.
However, the older the wiser. The old man was slightly stunned before he said, "Just now, this lowly subject and the others were drinking here when an assassin suddenly rushed in. That assassin wanted to assassinate this lowly subject. Luckily, Master Liu discovered it early. By sacrificing himself to protect me, I was able to escape. However, Master Liu did not do it well. This lowly subject is truly grateful to Master Liu."
When the surrounding officials heard what the old man said, they were also impressed and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
"That's right. The scene just now was too dangerous. It really scared the hell out of me."
"That's right. It's all thanks to Master Liu, Master Liu, and Gao Yi!"
"If it wasn't for Master Liu, our lives would have been in danger just now."
Everyone expressed their gratitude to the dead Master Liu. They didn't know if Master Liu, who had been killed by them, would come back to life from anger if he heard what they said underground.
"So that's how it is." Huang Feng nodded and said, "Grand Preceptor, the guards here are really useless. To be able to sneak in an assassin, Grand Preceptor is the pillar of the Imperial Court. If something were to happen, it would be a huge loss to the Imperial Court. Grand Preceptor's safety was related to the stability of the Imperial Court. He could not be underestimated. How about I send some guards to Grand Preceptor?"
" Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. " Hearing Huang Feng's words, the old man felt a little proud in his heart. No matter what, he was an important official of the Imperial Court. If something really happened to him... It would definitely be a loss to the Imperial Court. However... Of course, he wouldn't accept Huang Feng's arrangement. If that was the case... Wasn't it equivalent to placing some of Huang Feng's spies by his side? Then, how would he plan that matter?
Thus, he looked at Huang Feng and said, "As for the matter of sending guards, this lowly subject feels that it is unnecessary. After today's matter, I will definitely strengthen the guards in the prefecture."
The old man didn't lie to Huang Feng, but what he said about today's matter... It wasn't referring to the assassin, but the fact that Huang Feng had come in straightaway. This meant that he hadn't done his job well. He had to strengthen his guard. Especially when he was preparing to rebel against Huang Feng, he had to pay more attention to this.
"Since Grand Preceptor doesn't want it, then forget it." Huang Feng was very easy to talk to, but he immediately said, "Grand Preceptor, how many assassins were there just now?"
"One!" Grand Preceptor said. If there were too many assassins, Huang Feng would not believe it. After all, not everyone could enter his mansion as they wished. It was already very difficult for an assassin to sneak in. If there were a lot of assassins, it would be very difficult. Not to mention Huang Feng didn't believe it, even he didn't believe it.
"Just one? Then how could there be so many wounds on Master Liu's body? He must have been stabbed dozens of times, right?" Huang Feng looked at Master Liu's corpse and clicked his tongue.
"This..." The old man was at a loss for words. He stammered, "That assassin is too powerful. He managed to stab Master Liu dozens of times in a short period of time."
"Oh, I see. That assassin is really stupid. The assassin had been staring at Master Liu for such a long time. He can totally kill the others." Speaking up to this point, Huang Feng looked at the old man and said faintly, "Take you, Grand Preceptor, for example."
"His Majesty is joking." The old man smiled awkwardly, but he was panicking. He thought Huang Feng might know something. He felt like Huang Feng was playing with him.
"I am not joking. I can only say that this assassin is too stupid. After such a long time, he left his main target unkilled. He actually stabbed an irrelevant person dozens of times. Is there something wrong with his brain? " Huang Feng said with a smile. Then, he walked to the side of one of the officials and said, "My dear minister, don't you think so?"
"Ah, yes, yes. That assassin has a problem with his brain." The official was suddenly asked by Huang Feng. He panicked and did not know what to say. He could only follow Huang Feng's words.
"An assassin with such a mental illness can actually sneak in? I have to say, Grand Preceptor, the guards in your mansion are too useless." Huang Feng said with a smile.
