Chapter 423

"My lord, I really don't know!" Wang Anzhong was dripping with cold sweat.

Although there were rumors from the capital that Guo Jing was a liar who could only pretend to be ghosts, but Wang Anzhong believed that ghosts and gods really existed in this world.

Especially today at the Shili Changting Pavilion, Wang Anzhong saw with his own eyes that Guo Jing could release a ball of flames with just a little raise of his hand, and he believed even more that Guo Jing could use spells.

Even His Majesty the Emperor and the big bosses in the capital believe it, so is it still fake?

"Ji Li Gu Lu, Ji Li Gu Lu..." Guo Jing's "mantra" paused because of his difficulty breathing.

Huo Wa seized the opportunity, glared again, and shouted: "Master Wang, you don't have much time left!"

"Your official is really wronged, I really don't know who the assassin is!" Wang Anzhong kowtowed harder.

"If it wasn't you, who would it be?" Huo Wa circled around Wang Anzhong.

"I don't know, I don't know, I have already arranged manpower to investigate, I believe the truth will come out soon!" Wang Anzhong patted his chest and said, "I promise that no matter who the assassins are, as long as I find them, I will arrest them all. Dismember the body into thousands of pieces, to relieve the imperial envoy's only hatred!"

"How slow is that?" Huo Wa shook her head and said, "Master Wang, think about it carefully, who is most likely to be behind the scenes?"

Wang Anzhong frowned and said, "This... should be the remnants of the Liao people."

"The remnants of the Liao people?" Huo Wa raised her eyebrows and said, "So, the assassin who attacked the imperial envoy last night at Shangchen Station is also the remnants of the Liao people?"

Wang Anzhong said: "This matter is under the responsibility of Commander Guo Yaoshi, Mr. Guo, and there is no conclusion yet."

Huo Wa squatted opposite Wang Anzhong, stared into his eyes, and said word by word: "Think about it carefully, is there any official in Yanshan Mansion who is dissatisfied with me, Da Song? For example...Guo Yaoshi?"

"Guo Yaoshi?" Wang Anzhong shuddered.

Although Wang Anzhong was dissatisfied with Guo Yaoshi, he also knew that the emperor of the Song Dynasty had great favor on Guo Yaoshi. He has no intention of betraying the Song Dynasty.

"Hahaha, I'm just kidding you!" Huo Wa laughed suddenly, pulled Wang Anzhong up and walked out, and said, "The imperial envoy has said that your suspicion has been cleared, so follow me out!"

Wang Anzhong was full of suspicion, the imperial envoy kept muttering incantations, when did he speak?

But being held by hand, Wang Anzhong had no choice but to leave.

In the small courtyard, dozens of Huaishupo soldiers were already in full battle. The first squad and the second squad formed a human wall passage, the third squad went to the roof, and the fourth squad blocked all the exits. Really scary.

"Lord Wang, how do you plan to end today's matter?" Huo Wa walked slowly, her attitude eased a lot, and she even smiled.

Wang Anzhong followed suit and said: "The lower officials have sealed the city gates, and we will not stop until the assassins are caught."

"Catching the assassin is a must, but what about other things?" Huo Wa smiled and said, "The two royal horses of the Imperial Envoy died, and the iron cart rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor was destroyed. Aren't you going to do something?"

"This..." Wang Anzhong suddenly realized that he might have understood something.

"That's the imperial envoy's favorite thing, it's priceless!" Huo Wa shook her head, and climbed up the steps of the gate with Wang Anzhong.

Sure enough, he was asking for money, no wonder people from the capital said Guo Jing was a money-grubbing and lustful person.

Wang Anzhong immediately said: "The lower officials must pay compensation, and the imperial envoy must not suffer losses!"

"Smart!" Huo Wa laughed loudly, walked out of the gate holding Wang Anzhong's hand, clasped her fists in both hands, and said, "Master Wang, go well, this matter depends on Mr. Wang!"

"It's easy to say, easy to say!" Wang Anzhong also bowed his hand in return.

Huo Wa nodded, and shouted at Guo Yaoshi who was standing in front of him: "The Imperial Envoy has an order to send Guo Yaoshi, the commander of the Ever Victorious Army, to come and see him!"

Guo Yaoshi and Wang Anzhong arrived here at the same time. He thought they would go in at the same time, but unexpectedly, the imperial envoy only summoned Wang Anzhong alone, which made Guo Yaoshi suspicious and felt left out.

Just when Guo Yaoshi was sullen, he saw Huo Wa and Wang Anzhong walking out arm in arm, chatting and laughing along the way, as if they had encountered something happy.

Is there any deal between them?
Guo Yaoshi was full of suspicion, and subconsciously took a few extra glances at Wang Anzhong when he passed by.

Entering the gate and passing through the hall, Guo Yaoshi, like Wang Anzhong, knelt in front of Gan Guo Jing and said, "My next official, Guo Yaoshi, pay my respects to the Imperial Envoy!"

Guo Jing didn't raise his head, and continued to close his eyes, chanting words.

"Bold Pharmacist Guo, are you convicted?" Huo Wa was familiar with the road, and when he came up, he yelled loudly.

"Your official is guilty!" Guo Yaoshi said in a calm tone, "Your official's neglect of precautions allowed assassins to sneak into the city, causing the imperial envoy's car to be disturbed, and he deserves death!"

"Ten thousand deaths? One death is enough!" Huo Wa sneered and said, "Do you know who the assassins are, how many there are, who ordered them, and what kind of conspiracy they have?"

Guo Yaoshi said: "I don't know if I am an official, but if I am an official, I have already ordered people to close the four gates, search the whole city, and definitely arrest the assassin!"

"I don't know?" Huo Wa laughed even more disdainfully, and said, "I heard that you are behind the scenes!"

"Who dares to slander this official?" Guo Yaoshi's eyes flashed sharply.

It took less than an hour for the incident to happen, and the imperial envoy only met Wang Anzhong alone, so do you need to ask who spoke ill of him?
"Is it slander, but you can't escape the celestial eyes of the imperial envoy! The imperial envoy is doing something, and after the god descends, the real culprit will appear immediately!" Huo Wa asked indifferently: "Guo Yaoshi, do you have anything to say?"

"The lower official has been favored by the emperor and is loyal to the imperial court. How can he do the job of assassinating an imperial envoy?" Guo Yaoshi was angry. If it wasn't for the fact that the other party was an imperial envoy, he would have turned his face on the spot.

Huo Wa asked, "Are you loyal? Then why did I hear that you were quite critical when Mr. Wang beheaded Zhang Jue a few days ago?"

"There is absolutely no such thing!" Guo Yaoshi's facial muscles twitched. Wang Anzhong's beheading of Zhang Jue really touched him a lot.

"No?" Huo Wa shook her head and said, "Then who said 'what if you come to ask for the pharmacist's head'?"

"What?" Guo Yaoshi stood up, holding the hilt of the sword in his hand, staring at Huo Wa with fiery eyes, and shouted, "Who are you, and what qualifications do you have to interrogate this commander?"

"I am interrogating on behalf of the imperial envoy!" Huo Wa was so young and energetic that he dared to face a fierce general like Guo Yaoshi.

"I want to talk to the imperial envoy!" Guo Yaoshi suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at Guo Jing, and said, "Imperial envoy, you came to Yanshan Mansion this time, is it because you want to arrest the pharmacist?"

The fierce general was furious, and the room was filled with murderous aura!
