Chapter 1004: The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (One Hundred and Twenty-six)
The emperor was so angry that he quickly asked Wei Ying to explain clearly. How could someone like the prime minister dare to kill someone in the street?
"What's going on? Tell me immediately."
Wei Ying lowered his eyes to suppress his doubts and reported the attack on the Prime Minister in detail.
"In broad daylight, the Prime Minister and his family had just finished a palace banquet, and yet someone was so eager to assassinate the Prime Minister. This crime is unforgivable. I urge Your Majesty to investigate."
"Wei Ying, I leave this matter to you. You must find out who is so bold and whether he still respects me!"
Emperor Zhao slammed the table in anger. Wei Ying observed carefully and saw that Emperor Zhao was genuinely angry, even though it seemed to have nothing to do with him.
"Yes, I will investigate this as soon as possible and bring the person behind this to justice."
"Just do your best. Whatever you find out, I will take responsibility for it. Even if it's the Empress or the Prince, I will show no mercy!"
"Your Majesty is holy."
After Wei Ying came out of the palace, he interrogated the killer overnight. Unfortunately, the killer was too tight-lipped and tried to commit suicide several times, but was stopped every time.
The guards kept watching the man all the time, fearing that he would find an opportunity to commit suicide.
Wei Ying stood outside the cell with a cold expression.
Death warriors are death warriors. They are trained like puppets, without any emotions, and are not afraid of death or pain.
No matter how much torture, threats or bribes were used, his mouth was broken. Now it all depends on who will take action after the news gets out.
Even if you don’t take action…
Wei Ying sneered, it's not like he didn't have other options.
The Imperial Guards were supposed to protect the safety of the Imperial Palace and the Imperial City. The person behind the scenes knew that he had a deep connection with the Prime Minister's Mansion, but he still wanted to kill people. If he had not followed him all the way, and if the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion were defeated, Wei Ying could not imagine the scene of losing his lover.
Therefore, the person behind this deserves to die!
Early in the morning, amid the envy of his subordinates, Wei Ying ate the hot breakfast that Qingli had sent him, which was all his favorite dishes.
Of course, the Prime Minister's Mansion had made sufficient preparations, and even Wei Ying's subordinates had cakes to eat.
After eating and drinking, he continued to work.
Soon, everyone in the capital knew that someone had boldly attempted to assassinate the Prime Minister and his family. Fortunately, the Prime Minister and the Marquis of Annan had sufficient manpower to prevent the traitor from succeeding, and one of the assassins was even apprehended. The assassin was stubborn, but the Marquis of Annan was an expert in interrogation and had a drug that could make the prisoner confess his crimes. After taking the drug for twelve hours, he would reveal everything about his crimes.
Soon, we will know who dared to kill the prime minister.
In order to deter the murderer, Wei Ying also had someone demonstrate the medicine in person in front of the people. The people saw with their own eyes that the bandit, who had committed heinous crimes and refused to plead guilty, was awakened by a basin of water. His eyes were dazed and he looked unconscious. He answered whatever the officials asked, and even told who he had killed and where he had hidden the money.
The people gasped. When they first saw this weak and gentle boy, no one believed that he was a bandit and they thought he was really wronged. Now they heard that this man even killed his wife, children, father-in-law and mother-in-law. He made his fortune by eating out his own family and was addicted to killing. He always killed people in secret.
The people were outraged and cursed the bandit.
He has done so many evil things that he deserves to be beheaded in public to vent the people's anger! Someone in the crowd quietly left.

Today was supposed to be a day off, but the emperor urgently summoned a group of ministers.
The assassination of the prime minister shocked all the officials. They were all terrified. If someone came to kill them...
The emperor focused on appeasing Prime Minister Song, saying that he would definitely give him an explanation. He also reprimanded the Jingzhao Yin and the Dali Temple, asking them to strengthen security in the imperial city.
The prime minister had just returned from the morning court when he heard the bad news.
In the study, Qingli and Prime Minister Song, father and daughter, sat face to face.
"What did you say? Ting'er is not in Huangjue Temple? How is it possible that she is not in Huangjue Temple?"
Prime Minister Song wanted to shake his head and deny it. Huangjue Temple was not an ordinary temple. The monks inside were all skilled in martial arts. Song Qingting was a woman and could not escape even if she wanted to. After a few months, when the one-year period was up, she would be back. Why was there any need for her to run away?
What's more...
"There's nothing unusual at Huangjue Temple. My father sends someone to see the abbot every two months. The person he sent last month said that Ting'er got sick from copying Buddhist scriptures all night long and that she truly wants to repent."
