Chapter 1417
At this point, Wei Wu waved his hand and boldly declared:
"As for that so-called assassin, let him come. I want to see if he has three heads and six arms, and what he can do to threaten my safety!"
As he spoke, Wei Wu waved his hand casually, as if shooing away a fly, and continued:
"Let's put those unimportant things aside for now and tell me how you found out about Guo Huan."
"You know, I tried everything I could, but I didn't make any progress. How did you manage to catch the mastermind so quickly?"
After Wei Wu finished speaking, Zhu Biao, who had been sitting silently to the side, also slowly spoke up.
“That’s right, I’m also very curious about how you did it.”
Upon hearing Zhu Biao speak, Black Wolf and the other two bowed again, and then Black Wolf spoke first:
"Your Highness, His Majesty ordered us, the secret agents of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, to investigate the money shop case from the very beginning."
“Yesterday, the three of us noticed something unusual about the Embroidered Uniform Guards and suspected that something might have happened, so we followed them.”
"Later we learned that they were going to secretly protect Huang Miaoguan and Mei Jie to prevent them from being silenced by the person behind the scenes, so we prepared to leave."
At this point, Black Wolf pointed at the assassin again.
"But just as we were about to leave, these two assassins suddenly appeared. They were extremely skilled, and the Imperial Guards were no match for them."
"In the end, all the Imperial Guards present were killed, and Huang Miaoguan and Mei Jie were also killed by the two of them to silence them."
At this point, Black Wolf immediately knelt down before Zhu Biao and begged for forgiveness again, saying:
"My two colleagues wanted to help, but I wanted to try to track down the people behind these two suicide soldiers."
"So I stopped them, and watched as my colleagues were killed without offering any help. The responsibility for this lies with me!"
To be honest, after hearing Black Wolf's description, Wei Wu didn't know how to judge his behavior.
Black Wolf came from the Embroidered Uniform Guard, who were his former colleagues, yet he allowed them to be slaughtered.
But then again, Black Wolf's responsibility is to investigate the money exchange case, and in terms of duty, finding clues and solving the case is the most important thing.
He certainly deserves criticism on a human level, but from the perspective of responsibility, he fulfilled his duties.
And the facts speak for themselves: he did indeed successfully apprehend the mastermind behind the money exchange case, proving his choice was correct.
The main reason why Wei Wu didn't know how to judge was that he wasn't a person of that era, and his thinking was influenced by the values of later generations.
In fact, in this era, the lives of the Imperial Guards were far less important than the duties they had to fulfill.
So, just as Wei Wu was wondering how Zhu Biao would respond, he heard Zhu Biao speak calmly.
"Although you made a mistake in this matter, you also made a great contribution in solving the money exchange case. I will speak to the Emperor to exonerate you from your crimes."
After briefly glossing over the matter, Zhu Biao asked again.
"Now, let's get back to what we were talking about earlier. How did you track down Guo Huan through the assassins and confirm that he was the mastermind?"
Upon hearing Zhu Biao's words, Black Wolf knew he was safe, because the emperor wouldn't punish him for this.
Based on his understanding of the emperor's temperament, as long as he completed his mission, the death of a few Imperial Guards was not a big deal.
So after Zhu Biao finished speaking, Black Wolf was no longer worried about the issue of guilt and continued to answer Zhu Biao's questions.
"Your Highness, after those two assassins committed their crime yesterday, my two colleagues and I secretly followed them."
"At first, those two guys didn't go straight back to Guo Huan's house. Instead, they found a private house and hid there."
"The three of us initially thought this was their hiding place, but after a closer inspection, we discovered that it was just an ordinary house."
