There were no more accidents along the way, so Tang Yin and his group smoothly returned to the Yan City. As Xuan Wang was severely injured, Tang Yin brought him directly to the Duke Palaces, and called for Su Yelei and other doctors with great medical skills to treat him.

With his arm cut off, he might still be able to reconnect it in the modern era. However, with the current medical technology, he was unable to do anything about it. After going through emergency treatment, Xuan Wang's life was saved, but his missing arm was completely crippled.

Xuan Wang asked Hidden Arrow Crew to personally escort Xuan Wang back to his own home, and then ordered Cheng Jin to interrogate the assassin strictly. No matter what, he had to find out their identities as well as who the mastermind was.

With such a huge incident in the city, Cheng Jin was extremely frightened, and quickly complied and left. At this time, Qiu Zhen, Shangguan Yuanji and the other ministers had all rushed over after hearing the news. When they saw that Tang Yin was fine, they all heaved a sigh of relief.

Tang Yin looked at the crowd and muttered: "I feel that the assassin was not aiming at me, but at the Master Xuan!"

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other and frowned even more. Xuan Wang was just a bookworm who spent his days interacting with organs. He was nothing good in terms of conduct, but he lived in seclusion, so how could he possibly have any enemies in such a complicated imperial court? Furthermore, the enemy was so powerful that he could injure Xuan Wang severely under his watch.

Zhang Xin rolled his eyes, suddenly took in a breath of cold air and said: "If the King is right, then the assassin is actually coming for the Master Xuan, then things will become complicated, and this will most likely have something to do with Jiqiao Manor."

Qiu Zhen sneered on the side, and at the same time, shook his head and rolled his eyes. He hated Zhang Xin from the bottom of his heart who liked to fan the flames everywhere. He was a complete villain, but the King still trusted him.

Tang Yin asked in puzzlement: "What makes Master Zhang think that assassins are related to Jiqiao Manor?"

Zhang Xin said in a serious tone: "Great King, think about it, if the Master Xuan was assassinated, who would benefit the most? The Jiqiao Manor! Even though the King allowed Xia Yufu to supervise the Military Weapons Division, in reality, the Military Weapons Division is still in the hands of the Master Xuan. The manufacture of our military equipment was still under the command and control of the Master Xuan, and if the Master Xuan was harmed, then the entire production of our Military Weapons Division would fall into Xia Yufu's hands. In the future, the development of our military equipment will be entirely under the control of our Jiqiao Manor.

After hearing Zhang Xin's analysis, many of the ministers present couldn't help but shiver. Tang Yin also took a deep breath. What Zhang Xin said was not unreasonable, but was Jiqiao Manor really that ambitious? Did he really dare to risk his life to assassinate the ministers in the middle?

After pondering for a long time, he slowly shook his head and said faintly, "I don't think so. If Xia Yufu wanted to harm me, she wouldn't have saved me back then. "

Zhang Xin revealed an anxious look, and said anxiously: "Back then, Xia Yufu saved the King, but she was also forced to such an extent. Moreover, when Jiqiao Manor is used, it didn't necessarily require Xia Yufu to know about it ? The King is wise, and there is no need for you to elaborate further on the reason. "

Xia Yufu understood Zhang Xin's intentions. Xia Yufu was a person of Jiqiao Manor to begin with, so as long as he could bring her up to the position of Military Weapons Division's general director, it would also be equivalent to having her control over her Military Weapons Division. As for Xia Yufu's own intentions, they were not important. Tang Yin remained silent, but then, Qiu Zhen spoke out: The matter is extremely serious, it involves the life and death of many people, Master Zhang only used his own speculation to order Jiqiao Manor to commit assassination on Minister of Imperial Court, I am afraid that it is unfair, am I?!

The Finance Minister on Zhang Xin's body was deeply favored by Tang Yin. Although he was not afraid of the heavens nor the earth, he still feared Prime Minister Qiu Zhen. He laughed dryly and said: "Prime Minister Qiu, this official is only discussing the matter and making speculations based on common sense. Of course I cannot guarantee that it is the truth, but I believe that it is most likely true."

Qiu Zhen said coldly: "There are a lot of things that cannot be predicted using common sense. If you want to convict others, you must first have solid evidence."

Zhang Xin smiled slightly and was about to argue, but Tang Yin waved his hand: "Alright, stop arguing, wait until the Dark Arrows find out who the assassins are, then the water Drop Stone will come out." As he spoke, he paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, muttering to himself, "I will not forgive you for injuring my Minister in front of me!"

Everyone could see that Tang Yin was feeling extremely terrible right now. They all looked at each other and tactfully took their leave.

Before Qiu Zhen left, he requested for Tang Yin to investigate the matter personally. Tang Yin did not think about it further and nodded in agreement. Seeing that Qiu Zhen was about to go and interrogate the assassin, Zhang Xin thought for a moment and cursed himself for being foolish. This was a rare opportunity to earn merits but also seek pleasure, but instead was taken advantage of by Qiu Zhen. He hastily requested for orders from Tang Yin, and wanted to accompany him in the interrogation.

Tang Yin more or less understood Zhang Xin's character. Although he liked to talk about things everywhere, it was not a problem for him to be loyal to him. Furthermore, when it came to matters of great importance, he would not dare to invert black and white. Tang Yin thought about it for a moment and also agreed to have Zhang Xin as a judge.

Not long after the officials left, Tang Yin's three wives hurriedly walked in from outside.

"I heard that the King was assassinated outside the city?" Wu Mei had the most urgent temper, she was the first to rush to Tang Yin's side, and asked about Tang Yin's condition while looking him up and down to see if he was injured.

Tang Yin comforted his while smiling: "I'm fine, don't worry." Then, he arrogantly said, "In front of these two armies, I can come and go as I wish among all the enemies. How can a few assassins be able to harm me?"

Hearing his words, Wu Mei's face finally revealed a relieved smile. Then, she creased her eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, you should be more careful in the future. Don't casually leave the Duke's Palace anymore."

Looking at Wu Mei's worried look, Tang Yin could not help but laugh. He suddenly felt that Wu Mei seemed to have matured a lot, and now that he understood how to take care of himself, he felt really satisfied. He gently pulled Wu Mei's hand and nodded: "I understand."

Wu Mei asked: "I heard that Master Xuan Wang is also injured, how are his injuries?"

Mentioning Xuan Wang, the smile on Tang Yin's face immediately disappeared, he slowly shook his head and said: "One of my arms is crippled."

Wu Mei's face paled, and he exclaimed: "Such a heavy injury?!" Amongst all of the subjects under Tang Yin's command, Xuan Wang could already be considered an old official. He was one of the subjects who had followed Tang Yin for the longest period of time and was extremely familiar with Xuan Wang.

knew that although Wu Mei's personality looked sharp, she was actually very soft-hearted. Tang Yin patted the back of her hand and said: "It's a good thing that my life is saved, as long as I'm fine, I'll be lucky if I'm not."

"Yes!" Wu Mei replied, but her voice was still choked with emotions.

As Tang Yin was speaking with the three wives, a guard outside ran over and reported, "My King, Jiqiao Manor Villa Master Xia Jie requests an audience!"0

Ouch! Xia Jie was very well-informed, he knew so quickly that something was wrong! Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, nodded and smiled, then waved his hand: "Let Villa Master Xia come in!"

"Yes!" "Great King!" The guard nodded, turned around, and quickly left.

Tang Yin said to the three wives: "You three go back first, wait for me to finish my work before looking for you three."

Wu Mei, Fan Min, and Yuan Qianyi naturally understood that it would be inconvenient for them to be present when Tang Yin was dealing with important matters.

Not long after, Xia Jie hurriedly walked over under the guidance of a guard.

"Xia Jie greets the King!" Xia Jie knelt down and paid his respects.

Tang Yin waved his hand and said: "Mister Xia, please rise! This King has just paid a visit to Teacher Xia, why has Teacher Xia come to the Duke's Mansion to see This King again? "

Xia Jie straightened his posture, and said: "This old man has heard that the King encountered an assassin on her way back to the capital after leaving the Villa, and thus has come to pay a visit.

He said it was only one aspect of the visit, the main purpose of which was to clarify that he had nothing to do with it. After all, Tang Yin had been ambushed halfway to the Jiqiao Manor, which made it difficult for others to not place suspicious gazes on him.

Tang Yin squinted his eyes, which had turned into a pair of hawk eyes as he stared straight at Xia Jie. After a long time, he laughed and said: "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Xia.

On Xia Jie's face, other than being calm, what Tang Yin saw was that he was pretending. It could only be said that Xia Jie's shrewdness was too deep and his acting was too brilliant.

Xia Jie did not come empty-handed. At the same time, he also brought along a few bags of high-grade tea leaves. Tang Yin only slightly delayed it and then accepted it with a smile.

After the branch host took her seat, Tang Yin asked Xia Jie about some of his views and suggestions on Feng Country during their small talk. Tang Yin's question seemed to be casual, as if it was a conversation about family matters. In reality, there was a profound mystery hidden within, he wanted to use this kind of conversation to find out if Xia Jie was paying attention to Military Weapons Division, and how much understanding he had of them.

However, Xia Jie was unable to answer Tang Yin's question, nor was he familiar with an organization that he was completely unfamiliar with. Furthermore, in front of a Monarch, how would he dare to offer any ideas or suggestions?

Looking at its appearance and hearing, Tang Yin did not see that Xia Jie had anything to do with this matter, but the results of the hidden arrow interrogation was completely out of his expectations.

Other than the heavily injured assassin who was unable to be interrogated, the other two assassins had already confessed. Furthermore, once the confession was made, all of them insisted that they received Jiqiao Manor orders in order to assassinate Xuan Wang.

These confessions matched up with Zhang Xin's deductions but Qiu Zhen did not believe it. He felt that the assassin's confession had been too easy, he did not see how much torture the assassin had to endure before he revealed the entire 'truth'. How could such a person have the guts to assassinate Minister of Imperial Court?

Qiu Zhen submitted a confession letter to Cheng Jin, which was wrong. They had to be interrogated again, while Zhang Xin impatiently took it and went to see Tang Yin, wanting to convict him of Jiqiao Manor.
