Seeing this, Ying Yi quickly handed his walkie-talkie to the young Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Lin just ca to check whether you are eating your als diligently three tis a day, and he said he will improve the dicine’s taste so it won’t be that bitter."
After hearing Ying Yi’s explanation, the young Emperor was overjoyed, taking the walkie-talkie and starting to babble with Lin Yi.
In the surveillance room above the Imperial Study Room, Ying Yi pulled up the footage from the eunuch’s room on the night of the incident.
The lighting was dim, and three figures entered the eunuch’s room, two of whom were severely injured and needed continuous support from the eunuch.
Then, the eerie voice of the eunuch ca through.
"It’s been hard on you two brothers, it was you who blocked the damage from the firearms for , I must heal your wounds."
Ying Yi was shocked, that night she and the young Emperor had clearly seen a black shadow, unexpectedly it was actually three shadows.
Then, who are the eunuch’s two brothers?
Realizing the severity, Ying Yi continued to listen.
Another unfamiliar male voice ca over, "Ouch, what is this thing, stuck in my flesh and can’t be forced out even with Inner Strength, it really hurts us to death."
The eunuch suggested, "Do you brothers want to recuperate here in my secret room, or go back to recuperate?"
"Hmph, this place is as dark as it gets, not as comfortable as our White Horse Temple, prepare the carriage, we’ll go back now."
Until the last sound of the door closing, the eunuch’s room finally returned to Peace.
Never would have thought, it was not only the eunuch who attempted to assassinate Your Majesty, but also two highly skilled monks.
Once the young Emperor and Lin Yi finished babbling, Ying Yi shared this major discovery with Lin Yi.
After hearing Ying Yi’s account, Lin Yi was completely astonished.
Unexpectedly, the eunuch has supporting assassins at White Horse Temple outside the Imperial City, whose martial arts skills could very likely surpass those of the eunuch.
For the life safety of the young Emperor, Lin Yi must eliminate all dangers around him.
But just knowing about the surfaced eunuch and two others is far from enough; they are just the tip of the iceberg, and how many hidden assassins lurk in unseen corners?
For this, Lin Yi decided to start with the two monks from the White Horse Temple.
But if he were to personally visit the White Horse Temple, it would certainly alert the eunuch’s two brothers.
Moreover, Lin Yi had no clue who exactly these two brothers were.
At this mont, Ying San arrived, sent by Ying Yi.
"Mr. Lin, what are your orders? If you need manpower, I can arrange that right away."
Lin Yi stared at the freshly written "White Horse Temple" on the table, montarily unsure of whom to choose to gather information from the temple.
Seeing Lin Yi unresponsive, Ying San placed a roster of nas in front of Lin Yi.
"Sir, these are our Shadow Guard mbers who are absolutely trustworthy and hidden among the commoners, ready for your dispatch."
Lin Yi picked up the list and examined it; though the Shadow Guards are trustworthy, they are trained, and often their responses are chanical, easily recognizable by the observant as part of an organization.
"I’ve got it!"
Lin Yi excitedly slamd his fist on the table, returning the list of Shadow Guards to Ying San.
"Ying San, quickly arrange for so people to take over Taiping Grain Store; find a plausible reason, coordinate with Bai Lu to act it out, and then force Bai Lu into a desperate situation."
Having said that, Lin Yi imdiately placed an order at Nine-Eyed Mall.
[Beep Beep Beep, host successfully purchased a pair of invisible Bluetooth earbuds, five listening devices, ten pinhole caras, total paid 200,000 Heavenly Bead Coins.]
Ying San, though confused, still nodded incessantly.
Then, Lin Yi handed a transparent Bluetooth earpiece to Ying San, instructing to give it to Bai Lu when he is driven out of the Taiping Grain Store.
After making arrangents, Lin Yi asked Ying San to execute them imdiately, but who knew Ying San would awkwardly freeze in place.
"Mr. Lin, if you ask to fight and kill, I can do it imdiately, but to co up with a play to drive Bai Lu out of the Taiping Grain Storage, I really don’t know how."
Seeing the girl’s helpless and panicked look, Lin Yi found it quite adorable.
If it weren’t for more important things to be done right now, Lin Yi would definitely have punished her on the spot.
"Cough cough, co closer."
Then, Lin Yi told Ying San a simple plan for a play.
When Lin Yi’s warm breath circled around Ying San’s ears, her face quickly turned crimson.
After explaining the plan, Lin Yi slapped Ying San’s buttocks firmly.
"After you drive Bai Lu away, co over here, I have many secrets to tell you."
Ying San, blushing with sha, left the General Mansion without lifting her head.
Taiping Grain Store.
As sounds of fierce argunt and fighting reached out, Bai Lu ca out cursing and carrying a bag of moldy grain.
A Shadow Guard mber Ying Qi disguised as an old woman, holding a coughing child, started cursing at Bai Lu.
"Humph, how dare you sell moldy food. If you don’t compensate with 1000 tael, I’ll report you to the Governnt."
Bai Lu couldn’t explain before several "onlookers" threw rotten eggs and leaves, cursing him for being heartless.
"Get out! Get out!"
As the voice of the crowd grew louder, Bai Lu sat on the ground unwillingly, lanting his misfortune.
But no matter how much he cried, nobody was willing to forgive a rchant selling moldy grain.
Ying Qi, seeing the right mont, picked up Bai Lu’s coat and threw it at him, and while people were not paying attention, threw the white Bluetooth earpiece onto the clothes.
All the hints were done, after picking up the Bluetooth earpiece, Bai Lu left the Taiping Grain Storage in a very sorry state.
A few ters away, Bai Lu imdiately put on the invisible Bluetooth earpiece.
Seconds later, Lin Yi’s voice ca through the earpiece.
"This, this is just unbelievable!"
The little bean-sized thing stuffed into the ear can actually let one hear Lin Yi’s voice.
"Sir, is this the legendary Acoustic Distant Hearing?"
Since Lin Yi had chosen to send Bai Lu to the White Horse Temple, it ant unconditional trust in him.
Afterward, Lin Yi clearly explained to Bai Lu how to use the Bluetooth earpiece, the pocket listener, the installation of pinhole caras, and other precautionary asures.
What Bai Lu had to do next was to pitifully make his way to White Horse Temple, pull out the accomplices of the two old eunuchs, and see what bigger conspiracies lay behind them.
Bai Lu rembered Lin Yi’s arrangent well, first installed an invisible cara on a button on his chest, and then headed towards the White Horse Temple.
Although the journey was long, Bai Lu had no complaints.
He was able to work for Lin Yi, find the killer of his family, even if it cost him his life, he would do it.
It wasn’t until the third watch that Bai Lu, exhausted, knelt before Bai Ma Shi.
Just then, Abbott Shi Yi, who ca out to observe the celestial phenona, saw him and arranged for people to take in Bai Lu.
"Looking at the celestial signs, the dragon is trapped in shallow waters; Your Majesty is impeded in taking actions."
