Shen Liang carefully picked up the dart and took a look at it. Not finding anything wrong with the dart, he wrapped it in a handkerchief and put it in his arms.

He gave Xiao Ai an approving look and said, "Fortunately you are smart and knew to wrap it with a handkerchief. I don't know if the dart is poisonous or not. I'll have someone check it later. Don't go home for now. Just stay in the restaurant for a while. I'll pick you up later."

"Okay, then be careful!"

Xiao Ai talked to Shen Liang for a few words and then returned to the restaurant.

She originally planned to return to her original location, where the view was good.

Unexpectedly, the seat was taken by someone else after she left.

The man sitting there looked like a fortune teller.

Xiao Ai declined the offer and decisively turned around and went downstairs to find another seat.

Who would have thought that the fortune teller would stand up and say to Xiao Ai who was about to go downstairs: "Madam, are you interested in having your fortune told by me?"

Xiao Ai looked back in confusion, and saw that he seemed to be talking to her, so she smiled and shook her head to refuse.

"I'm sorry, I don't believe this."

After saying that, Xiao Ai went straight downstairs with no intention of continuing the conversation with him.

After Xiao Ai went downstairs, the fortune teller suddenly laughed. He picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Interesting!"

The fortune teller, Feng Yihan, came here to test Xiao Ai's background.

The dart that was just shot at Xiao Ai was thrown by him during the chaos. On the one hand, it was to test whether Xiao Ai knew martial arts, and on the other hand, it was to intimidate Shen Liang not to be merciful.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ai squatted down subconsciously to avoid the dart. He did not test whether Xiao Ai knew martial arts or not.

At that time, Feng Yihan failed to attack, so he stopped.

This time he also wanted to get closer to confirm. After observing closely, he did not realize that Xiao Ai had any martial arts skills.

What interested him was that he had met people who did not believe in fate in the past.

But these people are often very confident in themselves, and they all believe that their destiny is in their own hands.

But where does Xiao Ai get the confidence from when he has no martial arts skills at all?

This is also what interests him.

Feng Yihan drank a glass of wine, picked up the cloth banner on the table and went downstairs.

When he got downstairs, he looked around and found that Xiao Ai, who had just come downstairs, was nowhere to be seen.

Looking more closely, he saw Xiao Ai. She had left the restaurant and walked to Shen Liang's side not far away.

When Feng Yihan looked over, Xiao Ai happened to be telling Shen Liang that she met a fortune teller in a restaurant who insisted on telling her fortune.

Upon hearing this, Shen Liang raised his eyes and looked towards the restaurant, and happened to meet Feng Yihan who was standing at the door of the restaurant.

When he saw Feng Yihan, Shen Liang knew his intention. He was a little annoyed that Feng Yihan was approaching Xiao Ai, but he also knew that some things could not be delayed.

That night, the Goryeo Crown Prince and his entourage were arranged to stay in the newly built post house, and the accompanying Goryeo general and three thousand ceremonial guards were stationed outside the city.

That night, when everything was quiet, the Goryeo envoys in the post house had all fallen asleep.

The soldiers guarding around were all a little drowsy.

A masked man in black passed through the outer defense and pushed open the door of the Goryeo prince's room in the dark.

Through the moonlight, the man in black saw the Prince of Goryeo sleeping on the bed. He drew out the sword he carried with him and cut the Prince of Goryeo's throat without hesitation.

The Crown Prince of Goryeo did not die immediately after his throat was cut. He woke up in pain and his hand involuntarily touched his throat which was bleeding.

Because his throat had been cut, he could only sob and question the man in black in front of him with his eyes, as if asking him why he wanted to kill him.

The Crown Prince of Goryeo forced himself to get up from the bed and wanted to go out to ask for help.

Naturally, the man in black would not let him go out to ask for help. He coldly kicked the Prince of Goryeo back onto the bed and waited until the Prince of Goryeo could no longer move and bled to death. Then he quietly left the inn.

The next morning, the maid who went to help the Crown Prince of Goryeo to get up found him dead in bed. His death was extremely miserable. He died of excessive bleeding after his throat was cut.

After discovering the death of the Crown Prince of Goryeo, the Seventh Prince of Goryeo ordered the Prefect Gongsun to capture the murderer of the crown prince at all costs, otherwise the 3,000-strong Goryeo army would attack Luzhou City and let the people of Luzhou City be buried with the Crown Prince of Goryeo.

Lord Gongsun of the Luzhou government passed the pressure to Bao Zheng, hoping that he could find the murderer as soon as possible, otherwise the people of Luzhou city would probably pay the price for it.

Bao Zheng began to investigate the case.

He was the first to confirm that the time of death of the Goryeo prince was in the early morning.

At that time, all the Goryeo envoys staying in the inn were already fast asleep, and naturally they did not see the appearance of the assassin.

Bao Zheng then asked the guards at the door, from whom he learned that the members of the delegation were exhausted from the long journey and because of the assassination that had occurred during the day, they did not leave after arriving at the inn for safety reasons.

After dinner in the evening, everyone went to bed early.

"It seems that the assassin knew that the envoy was exhausted from the long journey and that night was the best opportunity to strike, so he took the risk and attacked the prince." Bao Zheng said, touching his chin.

"Could the people who assassinated the prince be the same assassins during the day?" Gongsun Ce guessed.

Captain Lu also thought it was very likely, and agreed: "Yes, the group of men in black have not been caught yet. Maybe they were hiding in the dark, sneaking in when the guards were slack and killing the prince!"

"Why don't you find out where the assassins are as soon as possible?" Lord Gongsun also thought that what his son said was the most likely, and it was probably that the assassins had returned. So he ordered Shen Liang and Captain Lu to continue searching for the assassins.

After Shen Liang and his companions left, Bao Zheng searched carefully in the room where the prince was murdered. Although the assassin acted cleanly and efficiently and did not leave many clues, there were still traces left, and he still found some suspicious points.

That is, after the assassin sneaked in, he did not alarm other people in the inn, as if he knew where the prince lived in advance.

Only the people in the government office knew where the prince lived after he entered the inn.

Could it be that someone in the government office is in cahoots with the men in black outside, or could it be that someone accidentally leaked the information?

Bao Zheng didn't think that anyone in the government office would assassinate the prince, he just thought that someone accidentally leaked the news while out.

He then questioned the guards and envoys one by one and found out that a guard had indeed mentioned the news that the Crown Prince of Goryeo was living in the inn when he went out to eat.

Bao Zheng thought that someone in black had gotten the information and was able to find the prince's house accurately.

Just then, Captain Lu came back with a new clue. When he went out to question the residents living nearby, an old man got up at night and saw a man in black holding a sword flying across the roof at high speed. He thought he was dazzled at the time.

It was not until Captain Lu went to ask if anyone had seen anyone last night that he remembered the man in black he had seen at night.

Now, Bao Zheng also suspected the man in black who had assassinated the prince before, thinking that the murderer who killed the prince at night was one of the men in black who assassinated the prince during the day.
