On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

Chapter 1428 A Counterattack Wipes Out the Entire Team

This night.

The largest restaurant in the capital, Zuixianlou, was brightly lit and filled with singing and dancing.

Inside one of the most luxurious private rooms.

A dozen or so well-dressed businessmen, who looked wealthy and powerful, were sitting together, toasting and drinking, having a lively time.

It was the Yuan and Wang families who were in charge of the major managers purchasing grain in the capital.

"Manager Wang, come, let me toast you!" A fat, oily-faced merchant raised his wine glass and smiled obsequiously at a middle-aged man with a thin face and a goatee sitting in the main seat.

"If it weren't for your strategic planning, we wouldn't have been able to earn so much money in such a short time!"

"Yes, yes," another merchant chimed in. "In just five days, we managed to buy nearly two million shi of grain at affordable prices from the imperial court! The profits from reselling them are simply unimaginable!"

"Hahahaha!"

Their words were met with a burst of unrestrained, wild laughter.

In their eyes, the empress, who lived far away in the palace, was simply a foolish and wasteful woman.

"Gentlemen, you're too kind." The shopkeeper, Wang, who was being praised by everyone, stroked his goatee and a smug smile appeared on his face. "This is just the appetizer."

"I just received the message from the head of the family today."

"Starting tomorrow, let's ramp up our acquisition efforts!"

"The patriarch said that he wants to completely empty that little girl's coffers within a month!"

"At that time, not only will the grain market in the capital be under our control, but the entire Great Qian Dynasty will be ours to decide."

"Manager Wang, well said!"

"Come on, let's toast Manager Wang again!"

"Dry!"

For a moment, the entire private room was filled with flattering voices.

However, what they don't know is.

Outside the private room where they were, hundreds of guards dressed in black and wearing black iron masks surrounded them.

"Boss, everything is ready." A bodyguard appeared behind Xuan Ya. "As long as you give the order, none of those people inside will be able to escape."

“No rush.” Xuan Ya shook his head. His eyes, hidden beneath the black iron mask, coldly peered through the crack in the door at the fools inside, who were displaying their ugly behavior.

"The prince's order is to send them from heaven to hell when they are at their most triumphant."

He turned his head and looked at the guard.

"Get the brothers ready."

"After they have eaten and drunk their fill, send them on their way."

……

child time.

The banquet has finally come to an end.

The innkeepers, thoroughly drunk, staggered out of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, supported by their servants.

When they stepped out the door and saw the dark mass of men in black, wielding sharp blades, before them...

The effects of the alcohol on them instantly wore off, leaving them mostly sober!

"Who...who are you people?!" The leader, Manager Wang, looked at the group of menacing uninvited guests in front of him. His face, which was always full of shrewdness and calculation, was now filled with fear!

"Us?" The black crow slowly emerged from the darkness.

He looked at the fool in front of him, still stubbornly resisting, his cold eyes filled with contempt.

"We are the ones who will take you to meet the King of Hell."

The moment the words fell.

He moved.

His figure appeared in front of Manager Wang in an instant, like a ghost.

Then, under the horrified gaze of Manager Wang...

She reached out and grabbed his neck.

"Uh..." Manager Wang felt an irresistible and terrifying force coming from his neck.

He didn't even have time to let out a scream before his eyes rolled back and he completely lost consciousness.

"Make your move." Xuan Ya threw the Wang manager, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog, and gave the order in an icy voice.

"Leave no one behind."

The hundreds of guards behind him did not hesitate at all upon hearing the order.

They let out a low growl, suppressing their excitement, and charged towards the shopkeepers, who were already terrified, like cheetahs in the night!

Screams instantly echoed throughout the entire street.

But soon, things returned to calm.

When Xuan Ya, with his men, disappeared into the night.

More than a dozen cold corpses were left behind, and the ground was covered in blood.

……

Early the next morning.

When Prime Minister Zhang Jianzhi announced the tragic incident that had occurred at Zuixianlou the previous night during the morning court session...

The entire Hall of Supreme Harmony was in an uproar!

Everyone's face was filled with shock!

These past few days have stirred up a storm in the capital; the once arrogant grain merchants have all died suddenly overnight.

Who...who did this?

All eyes instinctively turned to Grand Tutor Yuan Wei, who stood at the head of the officials.

They all assumed that the Yuan and Wang families were definitely trying to silence them.

However, when they saw Yuan Kuina, they were equally shocked, even with a look of terror on her face.

They were all stunned again.

Could it be him?

Who could that be?

An eerie silence fell over the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The civil and military officials looked at each other, their faces filled with confusion and unease.

They couldn't understand who had the audacity and power to slaughter more than a dozen wealthy grain merchants overnight, right under the emperor's nose.

This is nothing short of a blatant provocation against the imperial court's authority.

"Your Majesty!" Chancellor Zhang Jianzhi stepped out from the ranks.

He bowed deeply to Murong Yan on the Phoenix Terrace, his thin face filled with righteous indignation.

"This matter is extremely heinous in nature and has an enormous impact! Your Majesty, I implore you to immediately order a thorough investigation into this case! Bring those lawless scoundrels to justice as a warning to others!"

“Minister Zhang, your words are reasonable.” On the Phoenix Terrace, Murong Yan spoke slowly, her voice cold and devoid of any emotion. “This matter shall be handed over to the Court of Judicial Review and the Ministry of Justice for joint investigation.”

"I will give you seven days."

"I want to see the results within seven days."

"Your subject... obeys the decree." Upon hearing this, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review and the Minister of Justice felt a pang of sorrow and quickly stepped forward to receive the order.

Can this case be solved within seven days?

This...this is simply an impossible task.

You have to understand that those who died were the moneybags of the Yuan and Wang families, and now they've died in the capital under mysterious circumstances.

These two old foxes, already driven to desperation, are bound to cause chaos in the capital.

The two people in charge of investigating the case were caught in the middle, like Pigsy looking in a mirror—unapproachable from both sides.
