[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 silently fled.
After hearing no more sound, Bei Yutang let out a sigh. It turned out to be an unreliable system.
System: ...(furious)
"Let's go." Bei Yutang said to the three excited people.
When they arrived at the gate, they found a long queue at the gate, surrounded by many officers and soldiers guarding the city. The entire city was heavily guarded.
"As expected of the capital city, the security is very strict. But the line is so long, how long will it take?" Lei Tian stretched his neck to take a look at the long line and couldn't help muttering.
A middle-aged man nearby said, "There's nothing we can do about it. Something big has 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, are you?"
"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 glanced around and, seeing that no one was paying attention, lowered his voice and said, "What else could happen in this capital? It's just that the Left Prime Minister was assassinated again."
"Are you talking about Prime Minister Zuo Chen?" Bei Yutang asked.
"Yes, that's him." The middle-aged man's face was filled with disdain and disgust when he mentioned this man. "This treacherous minister has wreaked havoc on the court and controlled the entire government. He's truly unforgivable. Attempts to assassinate him have been frequent, but he's just lucky."
"Doesn't it prove the saying that good men don't live long, but evil lasts for a thousand years? I wonder how long he will continue to plague our Jin State. 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 minister."
"Everyone in the court dared to be angry about him but dared not speak out. Naturally, everyone wanted to get rid of such a hated person."
"Look, he's being assassinated every few days. I heard he was seriously injured this time. Rumors are circulating throughout the capital that he's dying."
The four of them listened very carefully.
Lei Tian was also indignant when he heard this and said, "How could this person be so evil!"
The middle-aged man quickly restrained himself, "Shh, keep your voice down. If the guards hear you, you will be killed."
Hearing him say this, Lei Tian immediately shut his mouth.
"The whole city is under martial law now, and they are searching for the assassin. That's why everyone entering and leaving the city is checked," complained the middle-aged man.
"He is often attacked by assassins. Doesn't that mean the entire capital city is constantly being investigated?" Lei Tian asked in surprise.
The middle-aged man shook his head. "No, no. The previous assassins were killed by his guards before they could even get close to him. This time, the assassin succeeded. Now the treacherous minister is lying in bed, his life or death unknown."
Speaking of this, the middle-aged man's face was full of joy.
"It's said that even the palace doctors are helpless. There are imperial edicts posted throughout the city, seeking renowned doctors. Judging by the situation, this time, I'm afraid he's in grave danger." The middle-aged man spoke excitedly at the end, "I hope God will see to it that he'll die."
