Detective Ghost Empress-Chapter 530: Impulsive decisions
Zhai Tianyu was unaware of the fact that Liu Hui Ying was planning to distance herself from him. He was watching the soldiers training in the army grounds at the moment. Since the Ji family had suffered a setback, this was the correct time to take them by surprise and deal with the assassin army.
Though it would be impossible for him to clear the entire army, he would be able to at least deal with a section of them. Ji Yang had lost more than three million taels, it was a big sum for a giant family like Jis as they had to take care of many branches. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
More importantly, they were a scholarly family, they did not have as much money saved as the Liu family. With Second Master Liu taking care of the business of the Liu family, they could easily take out three million taels, but the same could not be said for the Ji family. Ji Yang would definitely send the assassins to do other jobs to earn money for the army.
In that case, they could always ambush them, even if he could deal with three hundred assassins at the moment it would be enough.
"Everyone, make sure to pay attention tonight! We will be dealing with the enemy fraction, no matter what happens! Be quick and agile, do not let them catch you and make sure to bring their heads back," Zhai Tianyu told the soldiers who were holding swords and whips in their hands. When the soldiers heard their leader's orders, they raised their hands and cheered.
They have been waiting for this chance for a long time. The Ji family had caused them too much pain, it was time to give them back a taste of their own ruthlessness.
Zhai Tianyu looked at the energetic soldiers and nodded. It was time to weaken the roots that had been corrupting the country for so long.
…
"Do you understand what you need to do?" The Grand Empress Dowager looked at the three assassins that she had arranged after sending word to Ji Yang. She originally wanted to leave Liu Hui Ying alone, as she thought that the woman was a fool. What was more, she had heard from her shadow guards that Liu Hui Ying was in love with someone else.
Thus, she had never taken Liu Hui Ying seriously, but it seemed like she underestimated that woman beyond what was necessary, she could actually make Zhai Tianyu dance to her rhythm and even let her have the Empress's Palace.
Back then, she had used all her tears and acting skills to make Zhai Tianyu more or less discard Liu Hui Ying and throw her in a side palace where the bed concubines used to live in the past.
The Grand Empress Dowager had felt a sense of satisfaction when she threw Liu Hui Ying away and snatched her dowry from her, making sure that Liu Hui Ying would live a life of discomfort.
With this incident, everyone knew that Liu Hui Ying, despite having the title of the Empress, was not the Empress who was accepted by the Imperial family.
It had pleased the Grand Empress Dowager. Every time she saw Liu Hui Ying who stayed in the dilapidated palace, she felt a sense of triumph as if she had finally stomped on the head of the Liu family and that dog man Liu Dong Ming.
But Zhai Tianyu, that idiot who was raised single-handedly by her to enjoy women and alcohol, was actually seduced by Liu Hui Ying, that woman who was still growing! If she had known that this grandson of hers would become so big of a philanderer, she would have trained him better. At least taught him how to keep it in his pants.
Grand Empress Dowager could no longer sit still. If this goes on, then Liu Hui Ying would become the Empress for sure, in case she was to give birth to Zhai Tianyu's child. She had to take matters into her own hands and deal with that woman, even if it created chaos, she did not care, but she could never allow that woman to become the Empress!
The throne can never fall in the hands of the Liu family. Not only because she would rather not weaken the power she and the Ji family held in their hands, but also because she couldn't forget how the Liu family was the one who killed her son.
This grudge was something that she would never forget.
The leader of the assassins nodded.
Though he was unable to understand why the Grand Dowager Empress was being too aggressive and careless by attacking the current Empress like such, he was only here to serve. He was hired by the Ji family and was trained to give up his life for them. Since they wanted him to deal with Liu Hui Ying, then he could only do so.
It was Liu Hui Ying who was unfortunate enough to become the thorn in the eyes of the Ji family.
And that to such a big thorn that they could not even withstand her presence and decided to deal with her so impulsively.
"We will deal with Liu Hui Ying cleanly, Your Majesty. Don't worry, even if the matter is discovered, the Ji family will stay safe," the leader promised. As he had trained for this mission ever since he was a child, he was sure that there was nothing that could be wrong.
What was more, Liu Hui Ying was only a young woman, how could she even deal with three assassins who were trained to give up their lives for the sake of finishing their mission?
Thus, he did not take Liu Hui Ying seriously at all.
The Grand Dowager Empress nodded with satisfaction brimming in her eyes.
She looked at the three assassins and then said with an imperious voice, "If you three succeed, the Ji family will not treat you badly. Make sure to finish your mission for the sake of your rewards, We promise you that they will satisfy you."
"Then thank you, your majesty."
The three assassins bowed before vanishing in a blur of black.
