"Who benefits, who is responsible..."
Zhou Yi murmured to himself, discerning a second layer of meaning: better to kill wrongly than to let one go!
The Grand Martial Emperor had already proven to be a wise monarch, yet to prevent imperial power from falling into the hands of others, he would exterminate any suspect.
"Old Deer, do you recognize the assassin?"
The assassin was dressed in the attire of an inner servant, with a shrill voice and an uncovered face, likely a master from within the palace.
Old Deer said, "That's Wei Shitou, hmm, later he had his name changed, something like Wei Yingfu, but 'Little Stone' sounds better."
"Grand Eunuch Wei!"
Zhou Yi couldn't help but exclaim, this man was a legendary figure in the Directorate of Imperial Servants, the goal of all who practiced the Epiphyllum Treasure Tome.
Old Deer glanced at him: "You're not bad either, old house didn't expect Governor Yi to actually be able to confront an Innate Grandmaster head-on!"
