The assassination of Liu Xi quickly spread.
The incident happened in broad daylight in public, and the people in the East Factory couldn't hide it even if they wanted to.
Not to mention that none of them may want to hide it.
Liu Xi's death may not be a good thing for the East Factory, but it is good news for those who want to rise to the top in the East Factory.
The emperor was furious when he received the news, and strictly ordered the people of the East Factory and the Ministry of Punishment to issue a wanted warrant to catch the assassin who killed Liu Xi.
Liu Xi's original confidant, the head of the East Factory, was appointed as the temporary supervisor of the East Factory.
The reason why the emperor did this was that there was no one available at hand for the time being, and secondly, he was really angry.
Liu Xi was not only in charge of the East Factory during his lifetime, but also his close minister.
With such an identity, someone actually dared to assassinate in Chang'an, and he succeeded.
Although the incident happened outside the palace, it was still a provocation to the imperial court and a threat to him.
Moreover, Liu Xi is one of the few big masters around him, and now that he is killed, it is equivalent to ruining a line of defense for him.
The combination of the front and back made the emperor feel very insecure.
If the murderer is not found and killed, he will sleep restlessly in the future.
The people of the East Factory and the Ministry of Punishment also understood the reason, so naturally they did not dare to neglect it.
Soon, the wanted notice spread quickly.
Meng Li also knew about this, but he didn't take it to heart.
He was fully prepared when he assassinated him, not only pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger to design Liu Xi, but also completely disguised his identity.
Wearing a hat and a face scarf, shrinking his bones and changing his shape, and wearing a human skin mask.
The assassination process was not only fast, but he didn't say a word, and the two palms he made up for Liu Xi were the prajna palms that he didn't plan to use in the future.
This Prajna Palm, like the powerful Vajra Palm of the two masked masters before, was "learned" from Shaolin abandoned disciples.
In this case, if he does not take the initiative to expose him, the court will find him and there will be ghosts.
But just in case, Meng Li still quietly glanced at the wanted notice, and then completely relieved himself.
Because the portrait on the wanted notice has no specific appearance at all, it is a man wearing a hat, a masked scarf, and fierce eyes.
In this way, it is strange to find talent.
After being completely relieved, he hurriedly packed his things and went home.
It has been delayed for a month, and if he doesn't go back, Lao Taishan will run away with his daughter-in-law.
As for whether Tie Ruyun will have an accident?
Meng Li was not worried, the other party was an old river and lake, although his martial arts were not as good as the ceiling, he was also of a high level, and the main purpose of his return this time was to hide, so he would naturally be more careful than usual, and the probability of an accident was basically zero.
Instead of worrying about something happening to Lao Taishan, Meng Li should think about how to explain how he went out to chase people but returned a month late.
If you don't expose yourself to the vest, you will become a family anyway, otherwise it will be difficult to justify yourself!
But what should I say about martial arts?
Thinking of this, Meng Li rode his horse back without attracting anyone's attention.
He, the assassin, went into hiding, but the impact of Liu Xi's death was far from over.
……
Momijisai.
As the largest intelligence organization in the rivers and lakes, Hongyezhai not only has many ears and eyes, but also cooperates with the East Factory, and learned of Liu Xi's assassination as soon as possible.
This matter has an impact on Hongye Zhai, and the impact is not small.
Because Liu Xi had in-depth cooperation with Hongye Zhai in order to better penetrate the martial arts during his lifetime, he provided him with a lot of money.
However, in Liu Xi's eyes, Hongyezhai is just a tool under his hand, he uses it when necessary, and puts it aside when he doesn't need it, and everything is dominated by him.
Mr. Momiji, the person in charge of Momiji Sai, understands this, but it is difficult to change.
Because the East Factory is backed by the imperial court, rich and powerful, and Liu Xi's martial arts are strong, his strength is far better than that of Hongyezhai.
Now that Liu Xi is dead, Mr. Hongye, who has just taken over Hongye Zhai, and the previous generation of Mr. Hongye, Old Hongye, are both relieved.
In order to show their identities, the two usually wear wide red clothes.
Xiao Hongye is an inch-headed young man wearing glasses, who likes to hold a feather fan on weekdays, but it gives people a sense of treachery and obscenity. Lao Momiye is a strong and even somewhat obese curly beard, giving people a sense of scheming.
The two have very different temperaments and appearances, but their relationship is a bit complicated.
At this moment, they were studying Liu Xi's killing.
Xiao Hongye put down the information in his hand and asked Lao Hongye: "Uncle, I have finished reading all the information of the masters of the rivers and lakes in recent decades, and I don't see which master killed Liu Xi. Is there any result from your side?"
Lao Hongye, who was sitting on the chair, shook his head: "I have no clue here."
"With Liu Xi's martial arts, the masters of the rivers and lakes in recent decades are better than his fingers."
"All I can think of is Yan Nantian, Inviting the Moon, and Lian Xing."
"But Yan Nantian mysteriously disappeared more than ten years ago, and there is no news so far. Yue Yue and Lian Xing have been staying in the Yihua Palace in recent years, and they have hardly come out, and at most they send people out to catch some heartless people."
"What's more, Liu Xi has always been cautious. Even if these three people make a move, they may not be able to kill him."
Xiao Hongye nodded for a while, but he was even more puzzled: "Then could it be that this mysterious master jumped out of the stone?"
Lao Hongye still shook his head: "Probably not."
"We don't have enough information at the moment, and we need more information to know who this mysterious master is."
As soon as the words fell, a disciple of Hongye Zhai walked in and reported: "Master, the old master, the acting supervisor of the East Factory is here to talk about the sky."
Lao Hongye nodded slightly: "Please come in."
"Yes." The disciple bowed his hands and left.
Little Hongye smiled and said: "This is good luck."
Lao Hongye reminded seriously: "Now it should be called 'Talking about the Governor'."
Little Hongye shook his feather fan and nodded, indicating understanding.
Then, Tan Tian walked in.
Due to the cooperation between the East Factory and Hongyezhai, Tan Tian had a lot of contact with Xiao Hongye and Lao Hongye when he was still a big stall, and the two sides are acquaintances.
Therefore, he simply said hello and said what he meant, wanting Hongyezhai to help find the mysterious master who assassinated Liu Xi.
Old Hongye and Little Hongye also wanted to find out the identity of this mysterious master out of professional instinct, so they did not refuse, but asked about the relevant situation.
In order to find someone as soon as possible, Tan Tian removed the word "代" in front of his supervisor, did not hide it, and told everything he knew.
After the message was finished, Little Hongye and Old Hongye fell into thought.
After a long time, Lao Hongye said: "Governor Tan, according to what you said, I can't confirm the identity of the mysterious master 100%. But if you want to say where he came from, I can think of a place."
"Where?" Tan Tian asked.
"Yihua Palace!"
Tan Tian's face froze.
Yihua Palace? That place is not easy to mess with.
When Liu Xi was still alive, the East Factory did not dare to provoke it easily.
Now that Liu Xi, the strongest combat power of the East Factory, is gone, the East Factory, which lacks top masters, will not dare to provoke it.
Once it provokes the invitation to the moon and the pity star, it will be really deadly.
In an instant, Tan Tian seemed to remember something, and said suspiciously: "No!"
