On the night of the seventh day of the eleventh lunar month in the 13th year of the Yuanping reign, the Shatu people attempted an assassination on Lei Sitong in Pingxi City. The news shocked the whole Gan Province!
It had been decades since the Shatu Seven Tribes submitted to the Great Han Empire. This was the first time a top Provincial Governor had ever encountered an assassination attempt by the Shatu people. Gan Province was a border province in the first place, so for a Military Governor to be targeted for an assassination by a foreign tribe, the impact of this event was even greater than the Ye Clan's case.
The assassination, of course, was not successful. Three assassins attempted to murder Lei Sitong but all three were caught red handed and killed on the spot. Not a single one managed to escape.
