Reborn, I am doing involution on Jinshan

Suddenly, there was the sound of weapons clashing outside the door, and a group of masked men in black rushed in, trying to kidnap Liu Shuiling in the chaos.

Captain Cao waved his sword and forced back a man in black. "Boss, it turns out that woman pushing over the chair was a signal for a meeting. What should we do? They have quite a number of people."

As he spoke, he quickly took out the handcuffs and handcuffed Liu Shuiling behind her back, cursing viciously: "You son of a bitch, you're still making trouble when you're about to die. Just wait and see what I'm going to do to your whole family."

Not satisfied, he kicked her in the back fiercely, causing her to stagger and fall to the ground. Liu Shuiling almost fainted from the pain.

Captain Cao's face was ferocious, and he was still cursing: "Run, you bastard, you can't run away now, right?"

Chai Lingyun yelled, "Close the door and beat the dog."

"Archers, get ready."

At Chai Lingyun's command, the archers lying in ambush quickly took their positions, drawing their bows and aiming their arrows at the uninvited guests. Seeing this, the men in black showed no sign of retreating, but instead rushed towards Liu Shuiling with even greater frenzy and recklessness.

This is like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers.

Captain Cao observed the situation while fighting with the men in black. He found that these men in black were highly skilled in martial arts and had good coordination. They were obviously specially trained assassins.

Chai Muling looked at the panicked Liu family members, who were still standing at the chopping board in a daze, and cursed: "If you don't want to die, all of you, get out of here and go to the inner hall."

Old man Liu woke up as if from a dream, and trotted with his wife and younger brother, hiding in the back hall.

Chai Lingyun also realized that the situation was tricky. He knew very well that if he could not repel these men in black as soon as possible and let them kidnap Liu Shuiling, all the previous investigations would be in vain.

"Everyone, stay calm! Don't panic! We must protect Liu Shuiling and not let them succeed!" Chai Lingyun shouted loudly to boost morale while engaging in a desperate fight with the men in black. He danced with his sword with great vigor, each move was extremely sharp, forcing the approaching black-clad warriors to retreat repeatedly.

However, the black-clad assassins were numerous, and new ones continued to pour in from the door. The situation gradually became unfavorable for Chai Lingyun and his companions. At this moment, one of the black-clad men seized a flaw in Chai Lingyun and stabbed him in the chest with a sword. Chai Lingyun was unable to dodge and could only sidestep. The sword blade grazed his clothes, leaving a bloody mark on his arm.

Seeing this, Captain Cao was extremely anxious. He tried his best to fight off the black-clad assassins around him and rushed towards Chai Lingyun, shouting, "Boss, are you okay?"

Chai Lingyun gritted his teeth and said, "I'm fine, don't worry about me, just protect Liu Shuiling!"

At the same time, Zhuang Chen and his men heard the commotion and left one man to guard Jia Zhen while the other two quickly rushed back to support him. They attacked from behind the men in black, instantly throwing them into disarray. The archers on the tiles also seized the opportunity to kill several of the men, instantly reversing the situation.

Some men in black fought and retreated, with no intention of continuing the fight.

Chai Lingyun seized this opportunity and shouted loudly: "Archers, release your arrows!"

With a burst of piercing sound, sharp arrows rained down on the men in black. The men in black dodged one after another, but many of them were still shot and fell to the ground.

While the black-clad man was busy dodging arrows, Chai Lingyun, Captain Cao, Zhuang Chen and others joined forces to engage in close combat with him. Their coordinated efforts, each strike deadly, gradually forced the black-clad man out of the corridor of the Criminal Department.

Seeing that there was no hope of kidnapping Liu Shuiling, the leader of the group whistled, and the remaining group quickly retreated, disappearing into the night in the blink of an eye. Chai Lingyun and the others did not dare to pursue them rashly, as they knew that the black-clad assassins might have set other traps.

Captain Cao wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "That was a close call. They almost succeeded."

Seeing Liu Shuiling being dragged to the Heavenly Prison like a dead dog, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Chai Lingyun looked at the wound on his arm. It was quite long and the pain made him grimace. He quickly took out the medicine for the wound. Captain Cao, who was standing nearby, took it and said, "Boss, let me help you."

"Okay, apply the powder to the injured brothers first." He whispered

Captain Cao bandaged him briefly before Chai Lingyun spoke loudly, "The origins of these black-clad assassins are unknown, and they must be backed by a powerful force. It seems our investigation has affected the interests of certain individuals, and they're desperately trying to take action."

Deputy Chief Constable Zhuang Chen also rushed back at this time and said, "Boss, Jia Zhen has been apprehended by us. What should we do now?"

Chai Lingyun pondered for a moment, raised his hand to call the prison officer of Tianlao, and said: "First, you should detain Jia Zhen and Liu Shuiling separately and guard them strictly. The Liu family members should be detained together and no mistakes can be made. Then immediately send someone to inform His Highness Dongfang Hao of the situation here and listen to his instructions. Then send the censor of the Ministry of Justice to pass this news to the emperor as soon as possible." The lawyer of the Ministry of Justice took a brush and recorded it diligently.

Over there, Captain Cao, checking that two of his colleagues had suffered minor injuries, angrily scolded, "Why are the harem so troublesome? They can't enjoy their good life anymore. They have to come out and meddle in politics and stir up trouble."

Zhuang Chen chuckled: "Desires are endless, and there will always be villains who want to harm me."

Chai Lingyun said loudly: "Alright, thank you brothers for your hard work. This time, we were able to save an important witness because of your composure in the face of danger. It's already dark. Those who are fine can disperse. Those who are injured, follow me to find a doctor."

Everyone nodded and left as ordered. Chai Lingyun knew that this incident was just the tip of the iceberg, and the conspiracy behind it might be far more complicated than they imagined.

Under the leadership of Dongfang Hao, they must overcome numerous obstacles and uncover the truth behind the assassination of the Queen Mother...

Meanwhile, in a hidden place, a mysterious man was listening with a gloomy face to his subordinates' report on the failed robbery. He clenched his fists and cursed softly, "A bunch of useless people! They can't even do such a simple thing. It seems that we need to think of a new way..."

Dongfang Hao was afraid that something unexpected would happen again, so he took the colorful bird back to the Prince's Mansion first. Soon, he received news that the witnesses from the Ministry of Justice were kidnapped. Fortunately, there was no danger and none of the witnesses were killed.

Several advisors from the Crown Prince's Mansion gathered for dinner. Dongfang Hao glanced at the sleepy little bird sitting on another small coffee table and felt a little worried. "What does this little thing like to eat? It's been standing guard behind the tiles all day, and it doesn't look like it's had any food."

One of the counselors stopped his work, thought for a moment, and said, "Your Highness, this little bird looks cute and might enjoy eating grains and insects. Why not send someone to find some millet and rice, and catch a few grasshoppers to see if it'll eat them?"

Dongfang Hao nodded slightly and immediately ordered the servant beside him: "Go, prepare some food as they said. Be sure to do it as soon as possible." The servant took the order and left in a hurry.

Fan Dengke said, "Your Highness, speaking of this little bird reminds me of something. I've heard that some strange birds can not only understand human speech, but can also transmit messages. Your Highness, why not try to communicate with it more and see if it has this ability? If so, this little bird may be of great help in future investigations."

Dongfang Hao's eyes lit up, and a hint of anticipation rose in his heart. He whispered to the bird, "Little one, if you can understand what I'm saying, please chirp a few times." However, the bird remained silent, without any reaction.
