Chapter 62 - 062 I am the Evil Sister (Seventeen)
Kang Mo escorted Grand Madam and He Tiantian all the way back to Capital City and personally carried He Tiantian into the main courtyard. After ensuring that Nanny Seo and others had properly settled in, he ordered someone to bring his name card to summon the Imperial Physician, then hurried into the palace.
Although it was he who had been the target of the assassination, it did not appear to be closely related to the Emperor himself.
However, Qingyun Temple was located in the capital jurisdiction, a place of significance, and yet over a dozen assassins with bows and arrows had infiltrated it. In broad daylight, they audaciously attempted to murder the First-Rank Duke himself.
This matter was of extremely vile nature.
Not to mention, the mastermind behind the assassination was the remnants of the Previous Dynasty, Kang Mo felt it was imperative to report to the Emperor at once.
"... Summon the Imperial Guard and the Capital Governor for me, and also call the Jinlin Guard Commander!" the Emperor commanded.
"In broad daylight, assassins reached the walls of Capital City, how audacious, how reckless?"
"Openly attempting to murder a distinguished First-Rank Duke, my Great General, they are utterly reckless and bold!"
The Emperor was indeed infuriated, and he immediately summoned all relevant officials into the palace.
Once everyone had arrived, Kang Mo recounted in detail his encounter with the assassins and the subsequent interrogation. At the end, he also brought out the confessions and the prisoners.
