Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1416

Upon hearing Wei Wu greet him, Black Wolf did not hesitate and immediately responded.

"Black Wolf, a secret envoy of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, greets Your Excellency, Duke Zhenguo!"

As soon as Black Wolf bowed, his two companions immediately followed suit and bowed as well.

But Wei Wu didn't care about that. He quickly walked up to Black Wolf and prepared to take him to the table.

As it happened, they saw that the two companions behind Black Wolf were carrying two people, one of whom had twisted bones in his arm and leg.

The other one was unconscious, but he would occasionally twitch his brow, so he was probably injured as well.

Feeling a bit curious, I casually asked a question.

"Old Wolf, what's the deal with these two guys? You had to send them to the imperial prison by your secret envoy from the Embroidered Uniform Guard."

Upon hearing Wei Wu's question, Black Wolf was about to respond when he suddenly remembered that His Highness the Crown Prince was still nearby.

So he quickly turned to look at the Crown Prince, and only after Zhu Biao nodded in acknowledgment did he slowly speak:

"Reporting to the Duke of Zhenguo, these two are the masterminds behind the money shop case, especially this man, who is Guo Huan, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."

"He orchestrated this money exchange case. As for the other person, from what I understand, he's probably a suicide bomber!"

Upon hearing Black Wolf's answer, Wei Wu's expression turned somewhat astonished. What the hell? Guo Huan, the Vice Minister of Revenue?

As a time traveler, Wei Wu knew Guo Huan all too well; he was the mastermind behind the biggest corruption case in the Hongwu era.

Wei Wu never expected that this guy, instead of engaging in corruption, would get involved in the money exchange case, and even be the mastermind behind it!

What's even more unexpected is that just yesterday they were plotting how to catch the mastermind, and today Black Wolf brought the person over.

In fact, it wasn't just Wei Wu who was taken aback; Zhu Biao, who was sitting at the table, also put down his chopsticks, his face showing surprise.

Fortunately, after a brief moment of surprise, the two quickly regained their composure, and Wei Wu then prepared to ask for details.

But at that moment, Black Wolf suddenly bowed to Wei Wu and then said apologetically:

"Lord Duke Zhenguo, I have something to apologize for. Whether you punish me or not, I have no complaints!"

The Embroidered Uniform Guard was known as the emperor's personal guard, and the secret envoys of the Embroidered Uniform Guard were the most elite of the emperor's personal guards.

Logically speaking, Black Wolf didn't need to apologize to a duke; he only needed to report to the emperor.

However, Wei Wu was different from other dukes, so Black Wolf had to show the proper attitude of admitting his mistakes.

Wei Wu didn't take this too seriously; what he was more concerned about was what Black Wolf was going to say.

So after Black Wolf finished speaking, he immediately asked the question.

"What's going on? Why are you making such a big deal out of it?"

Hearing Wei Wu's response, Black Wolf finally spoke up to explain.

"Just now, the three of us tracked Guo Huan to his home and overheard a conversation between Guo Huan and these two assassins. Their target is you."

As he spoke, Black Wolf pointed at the crippled assassin and continued:

"I crippled this assassin, but the other assassin took the opportunity to capture Guo Huan and used Guo Huan's life as a hostage."

"In order to save Guo Huan's life and solve the money shop case, I have no choice but to let him go. That man will definitely threaten your safety!"

After listening to Black Wolf's description, Wei Wu raised a single eyebrow, shook his head, and chuckled lightly, saying:

"That's it?"

"This humble servant begs for forgiveness!"

Black Wolf clasped his hands in response, and seeing this, Wei Wu laughed heartily, patted Black Wolf on the shoulder, and said:

"Old Wolf, you know very well what kind of people are around me. I suppose that's why you chose to let him go!"

"I must say you did the right thing. He's just a suicide soldier; he poses no threat to my safety. Guo Huan is the most important person!"

"As long as he's alive, we can get all the people involved in the money exchange case out of him. What crime have you committed in this matter?"
