Chapter 59 The Conspiracy Behind the Assassin
Ye Tian glanced at the two assassin corpses on the ground that he had "torn apart" with his bare hands, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
"The people of Dongyi City,"
He muttered to himself, his mind racing with thoughts.
This assassination attempt was far more complex than it appeared on the surface!
Cheng Jushu was an eighth-rank master in the Northern Qi Dynasty.
These two assassins were also disciples of Si Gu Jian from Dongyi City.
The Northern Qi and the Eastern Yi City have actually joined forces?
Are Fan Xian their only target?
Or is there another motive?
Moreover, according to intelligence from the Bad People, this matter seems to be intricately connected with the Crown Prince or the Second Prince.
Could it be that one of them reached some kind of secret agreement with Northern Qi or Dongyi City?
Did they want to use someone else to do their dirty work and get rid of Fan Xian, this "thorn in their side"?
Or perhaps they want to take this opportunity to provoke war between Southern Qing and Northern Qi, or between Dongyi City, and profit from it?
The more Ye Tian thought about it, the heavier the doubts became in his heart.
He knew that there must be a huge conspiracy hidden behind this!
One conspiracy, enough to overthrow the entire Qing Kingdom, and even the entire world!
"It seems that the waters of Kyoto are deeper than I imagined."
Ye Tian thought to himself.
He knew that his future path would be even more difficult and more dangerous!
But he was fearless!
Because he has enough strength and enough trump cards to deal with any unknown challenge!
.
Meanwhile, the Control Yuan.
When Chen Pingping learned that Fan Xian had been assassinated in Niulan Street...
Teng Zijing died.
And then there was the news that Ye Tian appeared in time, tore apart the assassin, and saved Fan Xian.
In his deep eyes,
In an instant, a raging rage and a chilling killing intent erupted!
"This is outrageous!"
Chen Pingping slammed his hand on the armrest of his wheelchair and roared angrily, his voice filled with barely suppressed rage!
"How dare someone openly assassinate a descendant of the Ye family right here in Kyoto!"
"What are they trying to do?!"
"Do they really think I, Chen Pingping, am a pushover?!"
He knew that this assassination was no accident!
There must be a huge conspiracy hidden behind this!
No matter who it is, if they dare to harm Ye Qingmei's son, Chen Pingping will never let them get away with it!
"Pass on my orders!"
Chen Pingping's voice was icy cold and devoid of any emotion!
"Control Yuan, fully activated!"
"Start all."
Investigate this matter thoroughly!
"Whoever is involved in this matter will be killed without exception!"
"I'll show those reckless clowns what true fear is!"
An even bigger storm is about to erupt in Kyoto!
Ye Tian and Fan Xian, these two transmigrators from another world...
That will also be in the future.
Unbeknownst to them, they were swept into the eye of the storm and played a crucial role!
···········
The efficiency of the Control Yuan has always been astonishing.
Under Chen Pingping's overwhelming rage, the entire Supervisory Council, like a high-speed war machine, launched a thunderous investigation into the Niulan Street assassination case with unprecedented efficiency!
Countless spies, like ghosts in the night, infiltrated every corner of Kyoto, leaving no stone unturned.
Soon, a shocking name surfaced—
Lin Gong!
The second son of the current prime minister Lin Ruofu, and the older brother of Lin Wan'er!
Indeed, he was a confidant of Crown Prince Li Chengqian!
"Lin Gong,"
As Chen Pingping looked at the investigation results presented by the secret agent, a cold glint flashed in his deep eyes.
He never expected that one of the masterminds behind this assassination was Lin Ruofu's son!
That seemingly gentle, humble, and polite son of the prime minister could actually do something so heinous!
Why did he do that?
Chen Pingping's heart was filled with doubt.
He knew that there was no deep-seated hatred between Lin Gong and Fan Xian.
Why would he take such a huge risk to assassinate Fan Xian?
Could it be simply because of the Crown Prince's orders?
Do not!
Things are definitely not that simple!
Chen Pingping's intuition told him that there must be a deeper reason hidden behind this!
So he immediately ordered the secret agents to continue digging deeper!
We must find out the real motive behind Lin Gong's assassination attempt on Fan Xian!
Meanwhile, at the Ye residence.
Ye Tian also learned some information about Lin through the intelligence networks of the Bad Guys and the Luo Net!
Meanwhile, at the Ye residence.
Ye Tian also learned through the intelligence networks of the Bad People and the Luo Net that Lin Gong was one of the masterminds behind the Niulan Street assassination.
"Lin Gong,"
Ye Tian toyed with a jade pendant in his hand, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
He knew, of course, that in the original story, Lin Gong was indeed one of the masterminds behind the Niulan Street assassination.
Its purpose was not merely to eliminate Fan Xian, a "potential threat," for the Crown Prince.
Furthermore, it was because he harbored an almost pathological infatuation and possessiveness toward Princess Li Yunrui!
He couldn't tolerate that Li Yunrui was showering all his affection on Ye Tian, an "outsider"!
He could not tolerate the ambiguous and unclear relationship between Ye Tian, his "love rival," and Li Yunrui!
Therefore, he transferred all his resentment and jealousy to Fan Xian, who shared the same "Ye bloodline" as Ye Tian!
He's going to kill Fan Xian!
He wanted Ye Tian to experience the pain of losing a loved one!
He wanted to use this extreme method to retaliate against Ye Tian and also to attract Li Yunrui's attention!
"Heh, what a pathetic and laughable fool."
Ye Tian sneered, his eyes filled with disdain and a hint of pity.
He knew that Lin Gong was nothing more than a disposable tool in the Crown Prince's hands.
In the end, they will only die without a burial place.
However, he did not intend to let Lin Gong off so easily.
After all, he almost killed his own younger brother!
This is a debt that needs to be carefully calculated!
.
The Control Yuan's investigation is still proceeding intensively.
Soon, more clues were revealed one by one, like peeling back layers of a cocoon.
They not only uncovered Lin Gong's true motive for assassinating Fan Xian, but also followed the clues to find an even deeper, more hidden source. (The system has matched you with a fantasy novel category; click here.)
Si Lili, the top courtesan of Zuixianju!
This seemingly charming and talented beauty is actually a secret spy planted in Nanqing by the Northern Qi!
And she was Cheng Jushu's contact person when he infiltrated Kyoto, as well as one of the key participants in the Niulan Street assassination case!
"Si Lili,"
As Chen Pingping looked at the detailed intelligence about Si Lili presented by the secret agent, a cold killing intent flashed in his deep eyes!
He knew that this woman was not as simple as she appeared on the surface!
There must be more secrets hidden within her!
It's even possible that it's intricately connected to the massacre at Taiping Villa back then!
"Pass on my orders!"
Chen Pingping's voice was icy cold and devoid of any emotion!
"Arrest Si Lili immediately!"
"I want to interrogate her myself!"
"yes!"
The spy respectfully replied and then quickly withdrew.
A manhunt for Si Lili was quietly launched.
The people in charge of this mission were not ordinary secret agents from the Control Yuan.
Rather, it is the most mysterious and powerful entity within the Control Yuan—
shadow!
This mysterious man, shrouded in darkness and whose strength is unfathomable, whom even Chen Pingping treats with deference, has personally taken action!
It is evident how much Chen Pingping values Si Lili!
This also shows how determined he was to pry those secrets out of Si Lili!
.
Inside Zuixianju.
Si Lili greeted and saw off guests as usual, always with a charming smile.
Unbeknownst to her, an invisible net had already been quietly drawn towards her.
Little did she know that she had already become a pawn on someone's chessboard.
Just as she saw off a wealthy young nobleman and was preparing to return to her room to rest for a while,
A black figure, as elusive as a ghost, appeared silently before her.
The figure was shrouded in a large black cloak, obscuring its features and emitting no aura.
It was as if he didn't exist in this world at all!
But Si Lili sensed a suffocating, cold, and powerful killing intent emanating from him!
This feeling made every hair on her body stand on end!
"Who...who are you?!"
Si Lili tried to remain calm, but her voice trembled slightly.
She knew that the mysterious man in black before her was no ordinary person!
His strength is probably far beyond mine!
However, the man in black did not answer her question.
He simply and slowly extended a withered, thin hand, like an eagle's claw, toward her.
That hand, though it looked inconspicuous.
But Si Lili could clearly sense that it contained a terrifying power that could easily crush her throat!
"Come with me."
The man in black's voice was hoarse and cold, devoid of any emotion.
It was as if they were messengers from the deepest hell.
Upon hearing this, Si Lili felt a chill run down her spine!
She knew she had been exposed!
I also know what kind of fate awaits me!
However, just as she was preparing to fight to the death, she was about to...
Suddenly, Ye Tian's incredibly handsome yet unfathomable face appeared in her mind.
And his "promises" and "expectations" to himself.
A surge of inexplicable courage welled up within her!
She knew she couldn't give up so easily!
She still wants to serve the young master!
She still had to wait for the day when the young master would "come and take it"!
Thinking of this, Si Lili took a deep breath, suppressing the fear and unease in her heart, and revealed a charming yet composed smile on her face.
"My lord, may I ask what brings you here?"
Her voice was soft and alluring, full of seduction.
"If you don't mind, sir, why don't you come to my room, have a cup of tea, and we can talk at a leisurely pace? How about that?"
However, the man in black remained unmoved.
He simply stared at her coldly, his eyes filled with disdain and a hint of impatience.
"No need."
The man in black's voice remained cold.
"My time is very precious."
After saying that, he stopped wasting words and, with a flicker of his body, appeared behind Si Lili in an instant, like a ghost!
Then, reach out and gently tap the back of her neck!
Si Lili felt everything go black before her eyes, and then she completely lost consciousness.
The last thing she heard before she lost consciousness was...
"take away."
Cold and ruthless.
·············
Everything that happened inside Zuixianju could not be kept secret from Ye Tian's intelligence network that spanned the entire capital.
When he learned that Si Lili had been taken away by the Shadow of the Supervisory Council, his handsome face instantly turned frosty!
A terrifying killing intent suddenly erupted from his body, causing the temperature in the entire Ye residence to drop several degrees!
"What a brilliant Chen Pingping! What a brilliant Control Yuan!"
Ye Tian said through gritted teeth, his voice filled with barely suppressed rage!
He knew that Si Lili was a spy from Northern Qi, and it was understandable that she had been captured by the Censorate.
But he never expected that Chen Pingping would be so disrespectful to him!
How dare they touch Ye Tian's people!
You should know that Si Lili is now a key pawn in his operation, responsible for the intelligence network in Kyoto!
He was also a key figure who would later stir up the political storm in Northern Qi!
Chen Pingping's actions were undoubtedly a provocation against him! A slap in the face!
"Hahaha, since you're so ungrateful, don't blame me for being impolite!"
A cold killing intent flashed in Ye Tian's eyes!
He decided to personally go to the Control Yuan to "invite" Si Lili back!
And by the way, let's teach that old bastard Chen Pingping a profound lesson!
Let him know that not just anyone can touch Ye Tian's people!
.
The Censorate, the dungeon.
It was dark and damp, filled with the stench of blood and decay.
Si Lili was tightly chained to the wall with cold iron chains, her body covered with large and small wounds, looking utterly wretched.
But her eyes were still full of stubbornness and a hint of barely perceptible expectation.
That is absolute trust in one's master.
Urgent! Major plot twist! Watch now!
