Reborn Totalitarian Queen

Chapter 514: Throwing Himself (5)
The fact that the secrets in the Pagoda were discovered was second to none. He didn’t think that someone had the ability to design this perfect sneak attack and assassination plan. The most irritating thing is——

His archives were burned.

He didn't speak, just lifted his foot and walked in.

The secret passage inside was poorly ventilated, so many people had died, and there was a disgusting smell of blood everywhere, not to mention the grisly corpses.

Yin Shao walked over with a blank face, and the hem of his robe was soaked in blood.

And when it got to the innermost part, the walls were scorched and scorched.In the huge secret room on the right, the flames were soaring into the sky, and there was a scorching smell.

Before the two guards came in, they had already moved the bodies of Yang Ping and the other two guards to the corridor outside, and the people in the two secret rooms next to them were also released.

The secret rooms on both sides are not guards with high martial arts skills, but some thoughtful counselors, most of them are scholars who have no power to restrain chickens.Yin Shao didn't care about the scene here, these people couldn't take it anymore, their faces were all pale, and they huddled in the corner with fearful expressions.

"The people in the two adjacent rooms didn't hear anything." A guard explained in a low voice.

The stone door of this secret room is thick, and Yin Shao himself knows best how good the sound insulation is.

At this time, his face was covered with dark clouds, showing traces of a cold murderous look, and he said expressionlessly: "Move everyone below and wait, are they all dead? Why don't you come in and put out the fire?"

What was recorded in that secret room was his years of painstaking efforts, and it was ruined just like that. It was impossible to suppress the anger in his heart, but when the words came out, the voice was so calm that even he himself was surprised.

"Yes!" Yang Ping took the order, and quickly arranged for the guards to take the doormen out, but looking at the burning secret room, he could only regret, "Your Highness, there are all books and letters stored there. It's going to catch fire, I'm afraid—"

Yin Shao glanced at him coldly.

A flash of inspiration flashed in Yang Ping's mind, and suddenly he seemed to have an epiphany, and he couldn't help becoming nervous, and quickly called for people to help put out the fire.

Yin Shao didn't move his place, just stood in front of the secret room and watched, the firelight reflected on his face, which gave him a strange and indistinguishable expression.

The guards all buried their heads in putting out the fire, and no one dared to look at his expression.

Jiang Chenghai and Yang Ping have worked together for many years, and because of Yang Ping's death, he was heartbroken and took people to count the dead bodies in the corridor in grief and indignation.

Although there are holes for ventilation in the secret room, the air circulation is not smooth when the fire starts, and the guards know that they are negligent in their duties. In order to make up for it, they tried their best to put out the fire, so the fire is not difficult to control.

Yin Shao has been waiting here, the head of the guards in charge of the tower settled the affairs outside and came in to report back, "Your Highness, the manpower has been called back, just now this subordinate was in a hurry and forgot your order. But this night, the night is dark, and we retreated quickly, no one should notice."

This area has been deserted for a long time, especially at night, and everyone detours around it.

Anyway, the incident has already happened, Yin Shao didn't care about the useless things, and asked directly: "Who are the people who broke in? Did you catch anyone?"

"No!" The man lowered his head vigorously, and said with shame: "There are five or six people, all of whom are excellent in lightness kung fu. After being discovered, they fled around quickly. Your Highness will not allow any big commotion, our people It’s not easy to pursue clearly, most of them have withdrawn now, and there are still a few who are tracking, I don’t know if there will be clues later.”

Since they couldn't catch them on the spot, once they enter the city, they can just find a corner to hide in the dark, how can they find them?
Yin Shao knew that this time he was going to be dumb and swallowed it up, so he couldn't help but sneer suddenly.

Although he hadn't had an attack, the man had already clearly sensed the signs of his anger, and he didn't even dare to catch his breath.

"You know the manpower arrangement here best, go and help Jiang Chenghai count and arrange the manpower." Yin Shao said, his words were always calm.

The guard didn't dare to take it lightly, he responded cautiously, and quickly retreated.

It took less than half an hour to put out the fire here, and when the fire was completely extinguished, the entire secret passage was scorched so that it was almost impossible to stay.

Yin Shao didn't seem to notice anything, he didn't move anywhere.

"Your Highness, the fire has been extinguished, but the contents inside still need to be cleaned up. I don't know if there are any left." A guard came over and said.

"Get out!" Yin Shao said, his tone cold.

The man was taken aback, suddenly thinking that he had heard wrong.

"Go out all, you don't need to take care of this place." Yin Shao said, and repeated it again.

Although the man was suspicious in his heart, he didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and led everyone back out with a wave of his hand.

At that time, the temperature inside the secret room was too high to allow people to enter, Yin Shao stared at the burnt ruins inside, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Your Highness, the dead bodies have been counted." Jiang Chenghai came in from the outside wiping his sweat, but his expression was dignified and strange, "I have checked everything, and none of the guards guarding the secret passage was spared, all of them are dead! "

These things are all obvious at a glance.

Yin Shao didn't speak, just looked at him.

Jiang Chenghai continued to say: "The person who sneaked in is definitely a master of close combat and assassination. The subordinates have just carefully checked the wounds on Yang Pingren's body. The way that person killed people was purely ruthless. Every move hits the vital point and kills with one move. And—"

As Jiang Chenghai said, he felt unbelievable at first, so he hesitated for a moment, and then he said bravely: "Judging from the wounds of the deceased, there are three types of deadly weapons, and most of them died from very small poisons. Arrow attack, followed by long sword and dagger. The exact origin of those arrows is difficult to say, but judging from the way the assailant used the sword and dagger to kill people, the killer should be the same person."

The guards clearly said that they were chasing five or six people. If so many people really came, how could it be possible that only one came in?
"Is it the same person who did it?" Yin Shao was suspicious, thought for a while, and then said: "You mean, while the other people were leading the guards away, only one person came in and took the opportunity to commit the murder?"

"Nine times out of ten, it should be a person." Jiang Chenghai said, but his heart was still full of doubts, and he thought about it again absent-mindedly, "But there is one thing, which is even more strange."

He almost never did such a reckless thing, Yin Shao also realized something, just stared at him, "Why?"

"Although this person's assassination techniques are proficient, and his shots are fierce and decisive, his own strength seems to be very weak..." Jiang Chenghai said.

"Ok?"

"Your Highness, look at the wounds of Yang Ping and the others, except for the sleeves.
