Situ Yao listened and nodded, "That's true, but what does it matter?"
Su Mengyan smiled slightly, then raised her eyebrows, "Don't you find it strange? Apart from the imperial physician who once entered Situ Zhao's mansion, no one else has come into contact with him."
"Besides, he has been staying in the mansion recently and hasn't moved around."
After hearing these words, Situ Yao frowned slightly and lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
Su Mengyan took a sip of the chicken soup to taste the temperature, then handed the bowl and spoon to Situ Yao.
"I also heard from Ah Heng that it seems that Situ Zhao has recently recruited several dancers to his mansion."
Su Mengyan laughed softly as she spoke, "He's almost half buried in the ground, how could he still have the energy to listen to music and watch others dance?"
After hearing what Su Mengyan said, Situ Yao suddenly stood up, tilted his head and looked at Su Mengyan excitedly, "So what you mean is that all this might be a play directed and acted by Situ Zhao himself?"
Su Mengyan remained silent, shrugged her shoulders and said nothing.
Situ Yao seemed to have suddenly come to his senses and burst into laughter.
He never thought about Situ Zhao, but only wondered who he had grudges against.
But I didn't realize that I was thinking too rigidly. In fact, the answer was in the most obvious place.
After Su Mengyan's reminder, Situ Yao understood it instantly and took action.
"Go! Capture the leader of the army! Bring more people with you, and capture as many soldiers as you can!" Situ Yao immediately ordered his men to go and capture the soldiers.
After a while, his men came back with about twenty or thirty scattered people.
"Your Highness, we can only capture these people for now. The rest have all fled in all directions." The subordinate pushed the leader forward and said respectfully.
Situ Yao nodded with satisfaction. After all, he just wanted to find some clues. As long as he could find the clues, it didn't matter how many people he arrested.
"Did you notice anything unusual when you arrested him?" Situ Yao asked calmly with a cold face.
"Yes!" The subordinate nodded, and Situ Yao glanced at him and motioned him to continue.
"These people all have a special tattoo on their arms, from the leader to the soldiers. We suspect it's a special symbol." The subordinate said respectfully.
Hearing this, Situ Yao smiled and walked forward to pull open the leader's sleeve. The leader's mouth was stuffed and he kept whimpering in resistance, but still had no strength to fight back.
"Indeed!" Situ Yao checked the tattoo on the leader, then looked at the other soldiers. Everyone had a special tattoo on their arm, without exception.
After a while, Situ Yao seemed to have thought of something and suddenly called his men to his side.
"Go to the Ministry of Justice and check the bodies of the assassins who killed Situ Zhao. I suspect they will have the same tattoos on their bodies." Situ Yao gave orders to his men.
After receiving the order, several subordinates immediately said "yes" and retreated.
Not long after, his men rushed back.
"How is it?" Situ Yao looked at his subordinates who came forward to investigate.
"No!" The subordinate shook his head, paused solemnly, and continued, "The people in the Ministry of Justice have been trying all kinds of excuses. We can't even see the body. I suspect the Ministry of Justice has been bribed by Situ Zhao."
Situ Yao was a little angry and sat back on the stool with a gloomy expression.
On the other side, Situ Zhao had already heard that Situ Yao had found his private soldiers, and the leader and more than 30 soldiers of the private soldiers were captured by Situ Yao. He already had a plan in his mind.
In fact, he was not afraid at all that the leaders and soldiers would reveal their secrets. After all, they were all death warriors. If they told their secrets, their families would probably die immediately in unknown ways.
However, if Situ Yao went to investigate the assassin, he would be completely helpless and might be found out, which would make things even more troublesome.
"Go to the Ministry of Justice and have them destroy the bodies of the assassins immediately! Make sure Situ Yao never sees them again."
After thinking it over for a while, Situ Zhao said that this matter must be done perfectly, otherwise his situation would change drastically.
After learning that Situ Yao had hit a wall in the Ministry of Justice, Su Mengyan had already guessed that Situ Zhao would definitely find someone to destroy the body. After all, she knew very well what kind of person Situ Zhao was.
It was impossible for him to just let Situ Yao take the next step. What's more, Situ Zhao had influence everywhere, so the Ministry of Justice would definitely not be an exception.
"Song Ming, bring some people with me to the Ministry of Justice. I want to know what tricks Situ Zhao will play next." Su Mengyan took Song Ming and his party and waited quietly outside the Ministry of Justice.
Although Song Ming didn't know what Su Mengyan's plan was, he was curious but didn't ask.
Until late at night, several people could no longer hold on and fell asleep at the foot of a tree. Suddenly, Su Mengyan saw someone sneaking out of the Ministry of Justice pushing a cart.
"Stop sleeping, someone is coming!" Su Mengyan kicked the person at her feet, and several people woke up and stared at the movement in front of them.
"You all come together later and control those people. Make sure to take the bodies away!" Su Mengyan then said to Song Ming and others, and then made a gesture, and a group of people rushed out.
Those who were pushing the corpse were caught off guard.
"Who are you? How dare you take away the corpse of the Minister of Justice!" The people pushing the corpse shouted loudly. Su Mengyan did not respond to them. She directed a few people to carry the corpse away, causing a lot of commotion.
"If you want the person, go to the person who asked you to do the job." Su Mengyan said this and turned away, and the body was taken away.
The few people who pushed the corpse were Situ Zhao's influence in the Ministry of Justice. They all knew that the person must have been taken away by Situ Yao, but they couldn't let Situ Zhao come forward to solve the problem. Wouldn't that be destroying their own future? They wanted to let the Ministry of Justice come forward to ask for the person back, but the people in the Ministry of Justice were timid and no one dared to come forward, so the matter had to be dropped.
He could only think of other solutions. After Situ Zhao learned the news, he already had another perfect plan in mind.
Situ Yao ordered his men to check the bodies, and found that it was true.
"Your Highness, the bodies of these assassins all have the same tattoos as the leader, even in the same position! So I think these assassins must be Situ Zhao's own people, trying to cover up their own crimes."
