The death of Xiao Bieli.
Instantaneously caused a tremendous uproar in Dongling City.
Xiao Bieli was a Fifth Grade high official.
A Fifth Grade official, regardless of where placed, is a significant presence.
Such a high-ranking official being assassinated is tantamount to challenging the authority of the Great Xia court.
Especially at this particular point in time.
The impact is even greater.
But after two days of widespread search throughout the city, no trace of the murderer was found, only a slight purging of the chaos in Dongling City.
This made the order in Dongling City much better.
Beyond that, there were no gains.
Such an outcome was known to any informed official as being within reason.
Because according to the injuries inspected on Xiao Bieli.
The assailant was a Grandmaster.
A Grandmaster's trace comes and goes without a shadow.
How could ordinary clerks find the trace of a Grandmaster.
...
Third floor of the county prison.
