Chapter 101 If you have the guts, come back alive. If you don’t, die outside!
Relying on Wang Qinian's superb martial arts skills and the fast horses provided by the Supervisory Office, he finally managed to get back before the sun set.

Chen Pingping had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw Wang Qinian coming back, he quickly asked someone to push the wheelchair forward.

"How is the third prince? Is he okay?" Chen Pingping looked nervous.

Wang Qinian got off the horse and took a few deep breaths: "Don't worry, Dean, the Third Prince is safe."

"Good! Come, report the news to His Majesty immediately, and tell him not to worry anymore."

Chen Pingping gave an order, waved to Wang Qinian and took him to a remote place.

Yan Ruohai had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Wang Qinian coming, he nodded with a smile.

"Ruohai, how is the investigation into the rumors in the city going?"

Chen Pingping frowned.

The third prince is safe, but Yan Xiaoyi’s problem has not been resolved yet.

"Dean, I investigated this matter, but I couldn't find the source. It seems like this matter came out of nowhere."

Yan Ruohai looked embarrassed.

The most terrifying thing is that the Supervisory Commission is unable to find any clues at all given its capabilities.

Chen Pingping's expression remained calm. He turned to look at Wang Qinian and asked, "What did you find?"

"Reporting to the dean, I found a lot of bandit corpses on the roadside on my way back. According to the third prince, Yan Xiaoyi and the imperial guards who accompanied him were all killed in order to protect him."

Wang Qinian conveyed Li Chengping's words in detail.

"How is this possible? Yan Xiaoyi is a ninth-rank master, and the palace guards accompanying him are all seventh to eighth-rank. If you want to kill them all, at least a grandmaster will be needed."

Yan Ruohai was in disbelief, but Chen Pingping's next words left him silent.

"If it's the one from Dongyi City, it's possible that he would take action."

"This... Would he lower himself to deal with a mere prince? If it is really a Grandmaster taking action, the Third Prince should not be able to escape!"

Yan Ruohai raised the question again.

Chen Pingping also frowned. This was indeed a suspicious point in this incident.

"By the way, since Wang Qinian said there are corpses of bandits on the roadside, in that case, you should send someone to investigate tomorrow to see if you can find any clues there."

Early the next morning.

Li Chengping set off again in a carriage. In the carriage, he took out a map and studied it.

After walking a distance further, he entered Jiaozhou, and then left Jiaozhou and entered Fan Xian's hometown, Danzhou.

Only after passing Danzhou can one reach Dongyi.

It would take at least half a month to reach Dongyi City smoothly.

at the same time.

In the Supervisory Council, Yan Ruohai personally led a team of people and, under the leadership of Wang Qinian, they arrived at the place where the bodies were abandoned.

When we got there, we saw only weeds on the ground except for the dried blood. There was no body, not even a bone to be seen.

"Wang Qinian, are you sure it's here?"

Yan Ruohai frowned and immediately ordered his men to search the surroundings.

Soon, they found a small mound not far away, and Yan Ruohai ordered people to dig up the mound.

They saw a simple wooden box, and when they opened it, there was only a pile of ashes inside.

"Sir, it seems that the body was burned by the nearby hunters."

Wang Qinian breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he found the ashes, otherwise people would think he was lying.

"Let it burn. Let's go back."

Yan Ruohai waved his sleeves and left with everyone.

He didn't want to get involved in this matter in the first place, and it just so happened that the person was burned to ashes, so he had something to explain when he returned.

Upon learning that the body had been burned to ashes, Chen Pingping did not investigate further and directly had the news of Yan Xiaoyi's death released to the public. Seeing the obituary posted by the Supervisory Yuan, the heat that had not yet dissipated reached a climax again.

Upon hearing the news, Li Chengze was surprised, and when he learned that Li Chengping was still alive, he was even more shocked.

"Interesting. It's really hard for the Third Brother to be the Dali Temple Minister. He almost lost his life just because he went to Dongyi City to catch a criminal."

"But if he can come back alive this time, his influence in the court will be extraordinary!"

Li Chengze sighed.

He originally thought that after something like this happened, Li Chengping would turn around and return to the capital to hide, but who would have thought that it would not affect his progress at all.

He really admired Li Chengping's courage. Even a ninth-rank master like Yan Xiaoyi was dead, but the other party still chose to continue. This kind of courage was not something that ordinary people could do.

At least he thought he couldn't do it like Li Chengping.

Inside Guangxin Palace.

Upon hearing the news of Yan Xiaoyi's death, Li Yunrui was stunned at first: "Impossible, Yan Xiaoyi is a ninth-rank master, there are not many people who can kill him!"

"Aunt, the Supervisory Council has already issued the obituary, this matter cannot be false." Li Chengqian advised.

Li Yunrui gradually calmed down. Since the Supervisory Commission had already issued an obituary, it meant that Yan Xiaoyi was really dead.

She still felt sad when she thought about losing a ninth-grade sharpshooter.

"Aunt, after this assassination, the third brother's reputation in the city has not decreased but increased. Even the officials in the court are now praising him endlessly."

"If he comes back alive this time, it will likely affect the situation in the court!"

Li Chengqian frowned.

He made a lot of preparations for the assassination, but he didn't expect that the whole plan would fail completely because of the action taken by the man from Dongyi City.

"Aunt, do you think we can find a way to contact the guy in Dongyi City and ask him to take action again and kill Li Chengping?"

A bold idea popped into Li Chengqian's mind.

Li Yunrui glanced at him and looked at him as if he was an idiot.

"The Grand Master is no longer restricted by worldly rules. Do you think you have any bargaining chips to negotiate with him? Or do you think you have something that can impress him?"

"Si Gu Jian is moody and even dares to assassinate His Majesty. Is there anything he can't do?"

"Cooperating with him is like seeking the skin of a tiger. If he is unhappy, he will kill you with a sword!"

Li Chengqian suddenly came to his senses.

Now the outside world is rumored to have killed Yan Xiaoyi. He thought that since the other party had attacked once, he might as well attack again.

But he forgot that Si Gu Jian killed people based on his mood and no one could restrain him.

"Okay, you don't have to worry about this matter. I will find a way to solve this trouble of the third brother."

"You are still under house arrest. Return to the palace immediately. If His Majesty finds out about this, you will be severely punished!"

Li Yunrui waved her hand and watched Li Chengqian leave. Her eyes gradually became sharp.

"He is just a grandmaster, what he said is the same as who else!"

at the same time.

Inside the Yangxin Hall.

Upon learning that the Supervisory Council had posted an obituary about Yan Xiaoyi, Emperor Qing's eyes darkened.

No matter what, Yan Xiaoyi, the chief of the imperial palace who has protected the imperial palace for many years and is also one of the few ninth-rank archers in the Kingdom of Qing, is still very optimistic about the future.

I didn't expect that he is dead now.

"Eunuch Hou, please convey my order. Considering Yan Xiaoyi's many years of guarding the imperial palace, I will send a thousand gold coins to his wife and children as a token of my appreciation."

"As for the third brother, if he doesn't want to come back, then just let him go. If he has the ability, he can come back alive. If he doesn't, he will die outside!"
