Chapter 49: Mission Completed
After putting everything away, Duan Yixin lay down on the straw bed and closed her eyes.
Lying on the small bed, she felt exhausted and muttered with a sigh, "This body is really too weak. I wonder what happened to the original Duan Yixin in the past. Her death is also very suspicious. I don’t think she died from a minor concussion from the fall. I must... investigate this matter... carefully..."
As she thought about it, her consciousness slowly drifted away, and she fell asleep soon after.
At the same time, the messenger sent by the County Magistrate of Qianshan County had also arrived in the imperial capital city. Because this was a secret memorial, he could not submit it directly to the Imperial Court.
Because of his identity and the confidentiality of the matter, the messenger could only go to find the imperial censor. Seeing that the sky was still bright, the messenger rode his horse to the imperial censor’s Mansion.
Arriving in front of the imperial censor’s Mansion, the messenger dismounted and said to the two gatekeepers, "I’m requesting a meeting with Ceng Da Ren."
The two servants who were working as the gatekeepers of the imperial censor’s Mansion had already memorized all the dignitaries, ministers, generals, and royal family members of the Xia Empire. When one of the servants’ eyes saw the black token hanging on the messenger’s belt, his eyes widened in surprise.
The black token, with the image of a Qilin on it, is the token of the Jin Yi Army. Everyone knows that the Jin Yi Army is notorious for its cruelty and ruthless way of handling matters and enforcing punishment. Anyone who enters Jin Yi Army’s prison is as good as a dead person.
Because of his fear, the servant’s voice trembled when he said, "Da Ren, please wait a moment. I will go and inform my Master first."
