The Prodigal Son of the Empire

"What happened? Why are there so many soldiers in the streets?"

"I heard that the prodigal young master from the Earl's Mansion was assassinated, so I'm going to catch the assassin!"

"Hmph, this prodigal son is acting ostentatiously. You can see that all the big and small things that happened in Yangzhou City these days are related to him. I think this is envied by others!"

"Do you even need to think about it? The assassin must have been sent by Liushan. How has the Liu family been ruined by that prodigal son?"

"He deserves it too. Is a prodigal son easy to mess with?"

"Be careful, don't dare to say this nonsense."

The citizens of the city all got up and put on their clothes casually, and came out to watch the excitement...

Dongcheng District is the area where the dignitaries and dignitaries of Yangzhou City live, and this movement also disturbed them.

"Touch! Touch! Touch!"

There was a loud knock on the door.

"Who? You don't sleep at night!" Yangzhou City Justice Cao Shen Zhang Yuanzheng opened the door with curses.

When I opened the door, I found that there were dozens of soldiers in armor outside.

"Who are you? What are you doing?"

Zhang Yuanzheng asked loudly.

"We are from Fuyang Earl's Mansion." Liu Jin, the leader, said in a deep voice: "Not long ago, our young master of the Earl's Mansion was assassinated near here. I was ordered to find the assassin. Please forgive me if I offend you!"

"What?" Hearing Liu Jin's words, Zhang Yuanzheng was also shocked for an instant. The assassination of the earl's son was not a trivial matter. He hurriedly asked: "Then how is the young master of your mansion?"

"My young master is lucky, so it's okay, but the assassin has to be found!" Liu Jin said again.

"It's okay, it's okay." Zhang Yuanzheng breathed a sigh of relief. If something happened to Wang Kang, then Wang Dingchang would have to go crazy.

The three generations of the Wang family are single, and Wang Dingchang doted on his son in every possible way, otherwise, how could he have cultivated a super prodigal son who is famous all over the city.

Zhang Yuanzheng asked again after thinking: "What do you want assassins to come to my house? Would I still harbor assassins?"

"Master Zhang, don't get me wrong, Young Master Kang's assassination is nearby, maybe there are accomplices hiding here without authorization, we naturally have to search carefully!" Liu Jin said coldly.

"Look for the assassin elsewhere, I don't have one here!" Zhang Yuanzheng also looked unhappy, how could he let people in to search at random, and it was still at night, affecting the family's rest.

"That would be an offense!" Liu Jin cupped his fists and said coldly, "Search for me!"

"Yes!" The soldiers from outside immediately took orders and filed in.

"You guys, you guys are so courageous. I'm the imperial order of Judiciary Cao Shen. What right do you have to search my house!" Zhang Yuanzheng trembled.

But Liu Jin didn't pay attention to it at all, which was unheard of.

The same scene happened everywhere in Dongcheng District. All the private soldiers of the Earl's Mansion searched people everywhere under Wang Kang's order. They just wanted to make things bigger and make the water even more chaotic!

The thunder was rolling in the sky, and the pattering raindrops gradually connected into rainlines, rendering the night even deeper, as if foreshadowing the unrest tonight...

Liu family.

Liu Shan sat alone in the room, his hands clasped the armrest of the chair tightly, showing the uneasiness in his heart.

He finally made up his mind to assassinate Wang Kang, he couldn't bear it anymore, not only because Wang Kang knew his biggest secret, but also because Wang Kang caused too much harm to his Liu family!

The repeated arrangements made his two-year accumulation in Liushan be wiped out, and the Liu family fell to this point!

He has been cornered!

Assassinating the earl's son was something he never dared to think about before, but now he has done it.

He knew that it was very unwise to assassinate at this juncture, and everyone would think that he did it, but as long as he succeeded and no evidence was left, there was nothing he could do about it.

Because he was protected by someone behind him, and this person also participated in it...

At the same time, the Governor's House.

Dong Qian looked at Cao Canjun who was at the bottom with a livid face and asked, "You mean that prodigal son didn't die? Instead, both assassins died?"

"Yes!" Cao Canjun nodded.

"You didn't even ask for the assassin's body?"

Dong Qian asked again.

"Yes..." he answered with difficulty.

"Trash!" Dong Qian suddenly stood up, picked up the teacup and threw it at Cao Canjun's feet.

His face was cloudy and uncertain, and now things became tricky, the two assassins who assassinated Wang Kang, one was the dead servant raised by Liu Shan secretly.

And the other is the crossbowman he found from the army...

At this moment, the assassination failed, and even the dead body weapon was detained by the prodigal son. If you look carefully, you will definitely be able to find clues.

What should we do?He just wanted to kill Wang Kang, but he didn't want to make a big deal out of it. As long as the assassination was successful and all evidence was eliminated, it would be fine.

But now it is out of his plan.

"Report,"

At this moment, a soldier suddenly walked in from outside the door.

"What's the matter?" Dong Gan asked hurriedly, this is the person he arranged to inquire about the news before.

"Fuyang Earl's Mansion dispatched a large number of private soldiers into Dongcheng District to look for assassins, and now Yangzhou City is full of wind and rain..." The soldiers reported.

Things are getting bigger!It's not like he didn't think about such a situation. The assassination of the earl's son is a great event.

But the problem now is that not only was the assassination unsuccessful, but there was also fatal evidence left behind. If the investigation follows, he will definitely be found.

Dong Gan's complexion was extremely ugly, it was only his wish to assassinate Wang Kang, even his father didn't know about it.

If this matter broke out, it would put his father in an extremely passive situation.

Although they and the Earl's House have been fighting secretly, they must not go to the point of assassinating each other. This is breaking the rules and no one will tolerate it.

What should I do?

Dong Qian lost his mind when he looked at the rain curtain outside...

The rain dripped on the road. Wang Kang and Li Qingman walked side by side, with someone behind them holding an umbrella for them.
