~3 min read 596 words

Since sending out the assassin, Feng Quji had been waiting every day for the news the assassin would send back.

But after waiting for a long time, he did not see the assassin return.

The official personally sent by the Emperor to Jiuzhou Commandery returned, and no news of the assassin was sent back either.

"Master, I heard that the Governor of Jiuzhou Commandery has gone missing."

The butler hurriedly ran in from outside and told Feng Quji the news.

When Feng Quji heard this news, his eyes widened suddenly.

Missing?

He had clearly sent an assassin, wanting to eliminate Qi Huaizhi.

How could it only be a result of disappearance?

"Did those people not find Qi Huaizhi's figure at all?"

Feng Quji asked.

"Those officials had just arrived at Jiuzhou Commandery when they heard about what happened in Jiuzhou Commandery."

"The Governor is missing, and inside the Governor's study, there is a dead person nailed to the wall."

The butler said.

When saying this, he only considered it gossip news.

Feng Quji's gaze contracted suddenly again.

A dead person nailed to the wall?

In his heart, he subconsciously felt that this person should be the assassin he had sent out.

He did not expect that the person he sent out would actually die in Qi Huaizhi's study.

Qi Huaizhi had actually gone missing.

Feng Quji had to suspect whether Qi Huaizhi had fled because of this.

Ying Zheng's side naturally also received the news.

"What did you say, you didn't see the Governor of Jiuzhou Commandery at all?"

Ying Zheng's gaze was deep and cold.

The official below only felt a mountain pressing down on his body.

He dared not look directly at Ying Zheng's gaze.

He could only lower his head tightly and say with a trembling voice.

"When this subject arrived at Jiuzhou Commandery, the Governor of Jiuzhou Commandery had already gone missing."

"Moreover, in his study, there were traces of a fight."

"The only one who died in the study of the Governor of Jiuzhou Commandery, this subject has also investigated his identity."

"He was just a dead soldier."

This official wished to distance himself from this matter.

He recounted everything that happened before and after his arrival at Jiuzhou Commandery.

Ying Zheng's cold gaze glanced at him.

This glance made the official feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

He seemed to see the scene where his life was short.

"Get out!"

Ying Zheng said coldly.

He could no longer speak properly to these officials below.

Their work efficiency was so low.

"Watching Zhang Han, what do you think of this matter?"

Ying Zheng then glanced at Watching Zhang Han again.

"Your Majesty, this subject suspects that someone has intervened."

"The fight in the study of the Governor of Jiuzhou Commandery should have been someone wanting to kill the Governor of Jiuzhou Commandery before Your Majesty."

"As for why there was only one dead soldier in the study and the Governor of Jiuzhou Commandery was not seen,"

"this subject suspects that the Governor of Jiuzhou Commandery should have chosen to flee."

Watching Zhang Han said.

Ying Zheng let out a soft "en."

He thought the same.

"Transmit my decree, order the capture of the Governor of Jiuzhou Commandery, Qi Huaizhi."

Ying Zheng's order was transmitted quickly.

Feng Quji, who had been waiting for news from the palace, heard the decree at the first opportunity.

It seems they also did not find Qi Huaizhi's whereabouts.

Otherwise, it would not have been an order to capture. ===== CHAPTER 443 =====
