Chapter 459 Is His Luck Too Bad?
"You're right. The situation has changed. Zuo Sixian is in trouble, and they've found a glimmer of hope." Fuxing finally made up his mind and stood up to leave. "Maybe they don't need my explanation so much now."
She walked to the door and reminded Wen Renli, "Don't call me and Xiao Suining for breakfast tomorrow morning. We need to sleep a little longer."
"Okay." Wen Renli nodded subconsciously. After the door was opened and closed, he looked puzzled. "This girl came here in the middle of the night just to tell him not to wake them up?"
He really couldn't understand it and was too lazy to think about it.
Although he is now under the control of Fuxing, he also has absolute trust and obedience to Fuxing, so he will not consider anything other than Fuxing's orders.
Soon, he went back to sleep.
——
At the same time, in the Censorate Prison.
Zuo Sixian was waiting anxiously. If the plan went well and Bai Yunfeng was killed, then Bai Yu'an and others would also come back. Judging from the time, it should be about time.
At this moment, a minor official suddenly ran in.
"General Bai is back?" Zuo Sixian stood up instantly and asked anxiously.
"Yes, General, the three young masters have returned," the clerk reported truthfully, "Mr. Shen from the government office sent them back."
"What did you say?" Zuo Sixian pulled the clerk by the collar and asked in a panic, "What else did you say?"
The petty official was frightened by Zuo Sixian’s appearance, and before he could speak, Shen Tiejun’s voice came from the door.
"Lord Zuo! Long time no see!" Shen Tiejun strode in, followed by Bai Yunfeng and others who were being escorted.
"You can't even speak clearly, why don't you get out of here?" Zuo Sixian pushed the clerk in front of him away.
He adjusted his expression, turned his head, and swept his gaze over the faces of Bai Yunfeng and others, finally landing on Shen Tiejun.
"Sir Shen, long time no see." He smiled and took a few steps forward, pointing at Bai Yunfeng and the others and asked, "What's going on? Didn't my Censorate send someone to the General's Mansion to pick up the general? Why bother the government officials to make this trip?"
Shen Tiejun pulled the corner of his mouth, "It seems that Lord Zuo still doesn't know anything. Just now on Baima Street, there was an assassin who wanted to kill General Bai."
"What?" Zuo Sixian's hands were shaking slightly, and he looked a little surprised. "Assassinating General Bai? He's a serious criminal in the imperial court. Who would be so bold?"
He asked tentatively, "Did Lord Shen catch the assassin? Did he bring him here? I, the Censorate, must investigate them thoroughly."
"The assassin was caught..." Shen Tiejun saw Zuo Sixian's face turn pale, and he continued with a smile, "However, he was not brought to the Censorate, but sent to the prison in the government office."
"Sir Shen, they want to kill a prisoner from our Censorate. I think it would be more appropriate to hand it over to our Censorate for investigation." Zuo Sixian clenched his fists tightly to ensure that his hands would not shake.
"Haha..." Shen Tiejun laughed, "Master Zuo, you're joking. Although they wanted to kill the prisoners of the Censorate, they committed the crime in the Imperial City after all, and were caught by people from my government office. Master Zuo, don't you want to compete with me for this credit?"
"How dare you? How dare you?" Zuo Sixian forced a smile.
The assassins he had found were captured by Shen Tiejun's men? How was that possible?
Those are the top killers. How could the government soldiers catch them?
But the current situation... Zuo Sixian glanced at Bai Yunfeng and the others again. Obviously, these people from the Bai family had bruises on their faces, but could they really be a match for those killers with just a few of them?
"Okay, it's getting late. I just came here to send someone off. Those assassins are still waiting for me to go back and interrogate them." Shen Tiejun nodded slightly, "Master Zuo, goodbye!"
"Sir Shen, I'll take you there." Zuo Sixian stepped forward with a smile.
"No need. It's just that what happened tonight was really weird. Fortunately, I have already sent them to the Censorate safely. But if something happens to them in the Censorate again," Shen Tiejun sneered, "even if the king of heaven comes, he can't save Master Zuo."
"Master Shen, you're joking again. No matter how crazy those people are, they wouldn't dare to come to the Censorate's prison to kill people. You can rest assured."
At this point, Zuo Sixian no longer had the chance to take action. If he killed Bai Yunfeng in the prison again, it would be equivalent to telling the whole world that the assassin tonight was hired by him, Zuo Sixian.
He could only hope that the assassins didn't know that he was the real financial backer.
"Goodbye!" Shen Tiejun nodded to Zuo Sixian and clasped his fists towards Bai Yunfeng. "General Bai, take care!"
"Thank you for your help tonight, Lord Shen." Bai Yunfeng nodded slightly.
"Lord Shen, you must interrogate those assassins thoroughly to find out who is so bold as to want to assassinate the number one war god of the Great Jin Dynasty." Bai Shi'an couldn't help but shout.
"Don't worry, Fourth Young Master." Shen Tiejun left quickly.
Zuo Sixian stood there in a daze. For the first time, he felt a little confused and didn't know what to do next.
He had never imagined that this assassination attempt would have such an outcome. He had originally thought that even if the assassination failed, the killers would not be caught. However, he had never expected...
Is he just too unlucky?
"Master Zuo?" the clerk outside the door called out tentatively, "Are these people... going to be sent back to the cells?"
Zuo Sixian came back to his senses, quickly glanced at Bai Yunfeng and the others, and waved his hand irritably, "Take them away."
Bai Yunfeng and others said nothing and asked the clerk to send him back to the cell.
Bai Yunfeng is still imprisoned with Bai Shian.
"I don't know how the second prince's injury is? Did they successfully return to the palace?" Bai Yunfeng's face was full of worry.
"Don't worry, they will definitely be able to return successfully. As for the Second Prince's injury," Li Suining did not foresee this in advance, so Bai Shian did not know what would happen. "I guess... it shouldn't be a big problem."
Bai Yunfeng sighed, "But if the emperor finds out that they sneaked out of the palace tonight, then everything that happened tonight... I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain."
"No." Bai Shi'an was full of confidence. "And even if they were discovered, they would come out to rescue people, so what's the problem? Dad, don't worry. It's almost dawn, go get some sleep."
"Yes." Bai Yunfeng nodded, looking at his fourth son with scrutiny, "The fourth son has grown up and become smarter. He can analyze situations on his own."
"Hehe..." Bai Shian scratched his head embarrassedly. He didn't analyze it at all. His sister told him everything.
Now, they just have to wait for Shen Tiejun to torture Zuo Sixian and find out that he is the mastermind behind the incident. Then, they may be able to go home soon.
In another cell not far away, Bai Yu'an and You Zhu were imprisoned together.
The two brothers lay side by side, but both couldn't sleep.
You Zhu asked in a low voice, "Tell me, even if we find out that Zuo Sixian wants to kill us, will the emperor let us go?"
