Chapter 185

That very night, intelligence from all across the Capital City poured into the Langya Prince's Estate. There were reports from the imperial palace, the imperial court, and the ordinary citizens of the city. Chu Xuan had ordered that every single event occurring throughout the Capital City today must be reported to him, regardless of how trivial. Although ninety-nine percent of these matters had nothing to do with the death of the Qilin King, perhaps a tiny detail would enable Chu Xuan to unearth a clue. "Your Highness, according to our investigation, during the timeframe of the Qilin King's assassination, a total of eight hundred and seventy people appeared in and around the Celestial Prison. Most of them were commoners and family members visiting prisoners, but one person is rather suspicious." "Who is it?" "Zhu Wen, the Minister of Revenue." Zhu Wen? How could it be him? Heiyun continued his report, "Furthermore, Zhu Wen visited a restaurant near the Celestial Prison and met with people from Jiangnan City in Jinshang Prefecture. Shortly thereafter, the Qilin King was murdered."
