The guards from the National Law Department guarding Siyang arrived quickly and took over the scene from Li Zai.

Such movement is naturally terrifying.

The emperor almost made a plot, and everyone in the National Law Department stood at the scene with numb scalps and clenched teeth.

Even if they haven't met Han Dongwen a few times, they all recognize Li Zai.

And who else but the Emperor could have been given personal protection by Lieutenant Xiu Bu?

The entire flower street has been put under martial law and not even a bird can move rashly.

"His Royal Highness is unknown for his short trip, lax guarding, and poor security in close quarters. Your Highness Wanwang will forgive you!"

The leader should be a captain-like figure. He was already lying prostrate in front of Han Dongwen, not daring to move.

Li Zai stood behind Han Dongwen, pacing with his hands behind his back, looking back and forth at the corpses without saying a word.

Han Dongwen looked around and realized that it was time for him to speak.

"Keep your head up."

Han Dongwen said in a deep voice.

Little Hongdou stood behind him, consciously or unconsciously, trying to stay as far away from the bloody scene as possible.

After she confirmed, the man who took her jade token was indeed dead in the crowd.

But there was no jade plaque on his body and no wallet.

Han Dongwen thought about it and felt that it could only be the associate who informed the assassin about the matter, either actively or under coercion.

Now that the puppet is dead, and no identifying objects have been found on his body, it can be said that from the perspective of the National Defense Department, all clues have been lost.

Then, it is only up to Han Dongwen to decide whether to connect this matter with the Department of Justice.

After all, he was the only one who knew that what Xiao Hongdou eavesdropped was information that was detrimental to the Department of Justice.

Only he knows that most of the cases currently being investigated by Simeng's "Public Security Bureau" were committed by the Director of Public Security himself!

"Your Highness..."

The captain raised his head tremblingly, but still knelt on the ground.

"Everyone present today will be investigated thoroughly by me, and no trace of the situation will be missed!"

Han Dongwen waved his hand in a pretentious manner, and the captain nodded in agreement, with cold sweat already covering his back.

He was just a captain of the Siyang Guards. He was the first to arrive just because he was the closest. How could he have imagined such a big scene!

Han Dongwen paused for a moment and noticed that Li Zai didn't interrupt, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground.

Asking the National Justice Department to investigate the National Justice Department itself will not leave any clues for Tantai to recover.

"besides."

Han Dongwen paused and said: "Inform the Chief of the Department of National Justice and come to the palace tomorrow to take responsibility. I would like to ask how this Siyang manages it. Outside the palace, he dares to be so lawless!"

"yes!"

The team leader was banging his head as if pounding garlic. As for how he, a captain on duty, would notify the General Directorate of National Law, there was no need to think about it for the time being.

Li Zai walked forward, leaned into Han Dongwen's ear and whispered: "Your Highness, something has happened today. Please enter the palace as soon as possible. Your safety is the first priority."

He had a relaxed look on his face, as if the assassin he had just fought was another person, and finally got the chance to go back.

Han Dongwen nodded, walked around the kneeling captain in front of him, and took a step forward.

"Go back to the palace!"

Hearing this, Xiao Hongdou hurriedly bit her lips and quickly chased after him.

Human puppet.

This is a kind of magic. Logically speaking, it cannot be brought into the city, but it is difficult to detect. Therefore, even in the game, the puppet will only be arrested by the guards when it causes trouble.

As the name suggests, this is a form of puppetry.

The human puppet technique that players can use is to create a human puppet from materials, and then within a certain range, they can either cooperate with each other or focus on control.

But it is precisely because the death of a puppet only results in the loss of materials and does not cause the death of the player's body. The mainstream gameplay of puppets is that the puppet is the big brother. The player only acts as a baby hiding in the dark and holding the remote control. The combat power of the body is very high.

weak.

At the same time, the puppet genre is being developed in the direction of its elder brother. The materials and combat power of the puppet itself are becoming increasingly luxurious. For characters of the same level, the puppet is even more difficult to deal with than ordinary players.

Because of this, when facing human puppet players, the average player has only one purpose.

That is to find the real master who controls the puppet.

The scope of controlling the puppet naturally varies based on the materials used to create the puppet. The more advanced the puppet, the further away its operator may be and the harder it is to find it.

"Li Zai, what do you think of the assassin's strength just now and how much of a threat it is?"

On the way back to the palace, Han Dongwen asked casually.

Li Zai followed a few steps behind him. At this time, he clasped his hands behind his head and said in a relaxed tone: "How strong... It should be said that he is not as good as a humble minister."

Han Dongwen nodded: "But that's a human puppet. We haven't found the real assassin, so we still can't take it lightly."

After hearing these words, Li Zai's footsteps suddenly stopped for a moment.

"His Royal Highness really reacted with thunder today, knowing everything clearly."

He still squinted his eyes and said this with a smile.

What he was alluding to was, of course, Han Dongwen's strange, quick perception of crises.

But what can be done?

Han Dongwen himself didn’t even know what was going on!

Han Dongwen swallowed his saliva, waved his hands pretending to be calm, and showed a shameless smile: "Hahahaha, I really like hearing what you say. It is precisely because of my clear understanding that I can be such a wise king!"

He patted Li Zai on the shoulder and said with a grin: "Li Buwei performed well today! You should be rewarded for your service in escorting him. I will ask Taishu Pavilion to reward you heavily in the near future, and it will be calculated together with your expenses today!"

After saying that, Han Dongwen rolled his eyes and licked his lips obscenely: "If nothing happens, just step back. I still have some... I still have some important things to deal with!"

Li Zai's expression did not change, and he bowed deeply to him and saluted: "Since His Highness is fine, I have resigned. Please rest assured, Your Highness, I am guarding this palace, and there will definitely not be any oversights like just now."

"It's so good, it's so good!"

Han Dongwen laughed loudly, took Xiao Hongdou into his arms, turned around and walked towards his harem.

Behind him, Li Zai maintained his bowing posture, but opened his eyes slightly, looking at Han Dongwen's back playfully until he could no longer see him.

The sun was setting in the west, and the sapphire slabs under his feet were already covered with a layer of fire color of sunset.

Li Zai straightened up and stretched, as if he had spent a very tiring day.

Then, he took out his Poria thorn from his waist, held the center with only one finger, and brought it to his eyes for closer inspection.

"Tantaifu, is the thing you keep in the palace really just a mascot?"

He murmured and closed his eyes.

When the wind blew up, the delicate balance on Li Zai's fingertips was shaken. The Poria thorn swayed back and forth a few times, and finally fell from his fingertips. It spun half a circle in the air, and when it landed, it made a "scratch" sound.

The sharp tip pierced into the crevices of the stone.
