[Hey, hey, hey, Host, what do you mean by this!]
[Are you discriminating against this system?]
Bei Yutang remained silent.
[Hmph.]
The system snorted twice and fled silently.
After hearing no more sound, Bei Yutang exhaled faintly. It was indeed an unreliable system.
System: […] (furious)
“Let’s go.” Bei Yutang said to the three excited people.
When they walked to the gate, they found a long queue at the gate, surrounded by many soldiers and officers, and the entire city was guarded very strictly.
“As expected of the capital city, the security is very strict. But such a long queue, how long will it take?” Lei Tian stretched his neck to take a look and couldn’t help muttering to himself in the long queue.
A middle-aged man nearby said, “There’s nothing we can do about it. Something big happened in the city recently. It seems like the whole city is searching for the assassin.”
Bei Yutang became interested, “Who was assassinated?”
The middle-aged man glanced at them and asked, “You are not locals, right?”
“Yes, yes, yes, we just arrived in the capital.” Lei Tian said excitedly, “Big Brother, can you tell us what happened in the capital?”
The middle-aged man looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he lowered his voice and said, “What else could happen in this capital city? It’s just that the Left Prime Minister was assassinated again.”
“Are you talking about Prime Minister Zuo Chen?” Bei Yutang asked.
“Yes, it’s him.”
When talking about this man, the middle-aged man had a look of contempt and disgust on his face. “This treacherous minister has caused chaos in the court and controlled the entire court. He is simply unforgivable. People often try to assassinate him, but he is lucky.”
“Isn’t this a proof to the saying that good people don’t live long, but evil people last for a thousand years?”
“I wonder how long he will continue to cause trouble for our Jin Country. Alas, it’s all because the current Emperor is too young. Many of the old meritorious officials in the court are being persecuted by this treacherous official.”
“The whole court dares to be angry but dares not speak out against him. Such a hated person, naturally, everyone wants to get rid of him.”
“Look, he will be assassinated every two or three days. I heard that he was seriously injured this time. Now there are rumors throughout the capital that he will not live long.”
The four of them listened very carefully.
Lei Tian was also indignant when he heard this and said, “How can this person be so bad!”
The middle-aged man quickly restrained him, “Shh, keep your voice down. If the guards hear what you said, you will be killed.”
Hearing him say this, Lei Tian immediately shut his mouth.
“The whole city is under military law now. They are searching for the assassin. This is why everyone entering and leaving the city has to be checked.” The middle-aged man complained.
“He is assassinated every other day, so doesn’t that mean the whole capital is often checked?” Lei Tian asked in surprise.
The middle-aged man shook his head. “No, no. In the past, those assassins were killed by his guards before they could get close to him. This time, the assassin succeeded. Now the treacherous minister is lying on the bed, and his life or death is unknown.”
Speaking of this, the middle-aged man’s face was full of joy.
“It is said that the imperial doctors in the palace are helpless against him. Now the imperial decree is posted in the city, seeking famous doctors from all over the world. Looking at the situation, I am afraid that this time it is very dangerous.”
In the end, the middle-aged man was very excited, “I hope God will have eyes and let him die.”
