Cool! Tragic death and rebirth, the legitimate daughter abuses the scumbag with great pleasure

In addition to keeping a close eye on He Gu and Murong Fu, Su Ci felt that she also needed to speed up the creation of her own business empire.

"Also, let's speed up the progress of our 'No. 1 Restaurant in the World'!"

Su Ci wants "The No.1 Restaurant in the World" to start business as soon as possible and speed up its pace of development. It must take the lead and surpass "Manxianglou".

She just wants to come out on top and gain every advantage.

As for the subsequent restaurant operations, she had advanced management concepts and marketing methods from later generations, making it even harder for her to meet rivals.

It would be even more impossible for "Manxianglou" to get the upper hand from her, but she still has the confidence in this.

The news that comes one after another makes people happy.

However, an unexpected piece of news soon dispelled most of Su Ci's good mood.

The secret guard reported, "The men in black who were captured last night all died quietly in prison at noon today. From the looks of it, there were no external wounds. Now, the palace has sent several doctors to examine the cause of death."

"Could it be that they all died of poisoning?"

"The imperial physician and the coroner are both checking right now, but no news has come out yet!"

After Su Ci carefully thought about the news, she was no longer surprised.

After all, the poison techniques of the "Poison Doctor Valley" are also very powerful. They can naturally kill people without them being seen.

It shows how far the hands of the people behind the scenes extend. But sometimes, when the hands extend too far, they will be cut off.

This incident also revealed a piece of information, that is, these men in black either have close ties with the "Poison Doctor Valley" or the masters behind these men in black have close ties with the "Poison Doctor Valley", which is why they helped to silence them.

No matter what, another flaw of the "Poison Doctor Valley" has been exposed.

It seems that the people behind this are not simple. They come and go freely in the tightly guarded prison of Jingzhao Prefecture, and decide life and death in a moment. In their eyes, the lives of dozens of men in black are nothing. They kill them at will without taking it seriously!

Moreover, during the morning court session, the emperor had just issued an edict ordering the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice and the Jingzhao Prefecture to jointly solve the case. However, within just one or two hours, all the captured men in black had died.

What is this? This is a slap in the face of His Majesty the Emperor!

Su Ci also admired the courage of these people, who committed crimes against the wind without any fear. Either they were ignorant and fearless, or they were bold and arrogant, challenging and despising the imperial power.

No matter which reason it is, it seems to make people feel so stupid. But is it really stupid? Maybe there are other reasons, but we can't just look at the surface.

Or maybe, they wanted to cut the Gordian knot, sever all clues, and make it completely impossible for anyone to find them.

This is a desperate move, which will help them to completely hide their bodies.

It seems that if we fail to catch the person behind the scenes this time, it will be even more difficult to find evidence against him in the future.

Soon, the news that all the men in black in prison had died silently reached the palace and the ears of the most powerful emperor in the world.

The emperor was furious and swept all the expensive paperweight, writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone to the ground.

"How dare you! Who are you? How dare you commit crimes in the capital? Investigate, investigate thoroughly!"

The emperor's eyes were bloodshot and wide open, like an angry lion.

The emperor was so angry that he laid down millions of corpses.

I guess many people are worried about losing their status or jobs.

The palace maids, guards and eunuchs who were serving nearby all knelt on the ground. Everyone was so terrified that they dared not even breathe. They could only kneel quietly in the most standard posture.

First, the Qingping Marquis' Mansion secretly opened a silver mine for several years and obtained tens of millions of taels of silver, but in the end the silver could not be found, as if it had disappeared into thin air; then the second branch of the Huguo Duke's Mansion attempted to murder the princess in order to gain more wealth and glory; then Shen Tongshu of the General's Mansion monopolized the brothers' property and inhumanely abused the orphans of the loyal and brave men.

Each and every one of these cases is a shocking and horrific crime.

The matter is about to be resolved and the unrest among the people will be quelled.

Yesterday, there was another shocking incident. Three hundred men in black broke into the capital and burned and killed people, but no one noticed and no one stopped them. They were so audacious and rampant.

Just as the case was being tried, dozens of criminals who were arrested died quietly in airtight prisons.

When did the security of the capital become such a joke? When did the defense of the capital become so lax?

He had been the emperor for more than ten years, and had he ever seen such a shocking thing happen in the capital? How could he still sit on the throne peacefully?

This is a challenge to the imperial power! A challenge to the emperor's majesty! If this matter cannot be investigated clearly, how can he feel at ease?

Looking at the people kneeling in front of him, the emperor angrily ordered: "Summon the Supreme Court Minister, the Minister of Justice, and Wang Hexing of Jingzhao Prefecture to the palace!"

He paced back and forth in the hall for a long time before slowly calming down his anger and letting everyone stand up.

At this moment, everyone in the hall was like a frightened bird, and there was complete silence, for fear of offending the emperor. This day next year will be their death anniversary.

***

At this time, in an exquisite courtyard, three young men sat together, drinking tea and talking, looking extremely relaxed and comfortable.

The man in black in the middle had a stern face and spoke in a loud voice. He stared blankly at the rockery in the distance for a while, then said, "We prepared so well last night, but we still failed. Not a single one escaped alive. It's really puzzling!"

"You went to Jingzhao Death Row this afternoon. Before you poisoned them, didn't you get some useful information from those death row soldiers?"

"I asked several people in a row. They only said that they were in an advantageous position at the time, suppressing Su Ci's secret guards, and Su Ci was also injured at the time. They were about to succeed and kill the secret guards and all the people in the third room. But suddenly a hidden weapon expert appeared and knocked them down one after another. Moreover, he was very fast and could not be avoided."

"The statements of several people are consistent, and they are not lying. But when asked if they have seen the hidden weapon expert, they all shook their heads and denied it. And it is said that the hidden weapon expert only injured their legs and feet, and did not intend to hurt their lives. In just a short time, he knocked down dozens of experts. It can be seen that this person's hidden weapon skills are very superb, reaching the level of perfection."

Another young man in blue said, "When did such a powerful hidden weapon expert appear in the martial arts world? I have never heard of this person's name before."

The young man in black added, "No matter what, this hidden weapon expert cannot be ignored. He has ruined our plans this time. From now on, we will probably have to lie low for a long time. With him guarding Su Ci, it will be difficult for us to succeed if we want to attack again."

Murong Fu said calmly, "We have already displeased the emperor in the morning court, so we should be more restrained in the future. I didn't expect that Su Ci would cause the loss of so many of our masters. I thought that if we caught her, we could get the whereabouts of the 'magic weapon' from her mouth, which would add strength to our future cause, but instead we suffered heavy losses!"
