Chapter 375: Chapter 375: Transition from Old to New (1)_1

"Last night an assassin came to the Prince’s estate. Though the land’s inhabitants could not catch him in the act, the assassin was injured by a dog kept on the estate." Si Jinhan declared calmly.

Zhang Da and the others secretly cursed their luck. As soon as they heard the door noise, they should have let their servants leave. But the noise Si Jinhan had created was so brazen that they had momentarily neglected to be vigilant. Now, if the person is discovered on the scene, they will be caught red-handed.

"So, it seems the Prince and the third young master are here on official business. But everyone here is familiar, the assassin definitely wouldn’t be among us." The head of the Ji family lowered his stance as well.

"Yes, it’s just a small gathering of us, and the people here are servants from each of our residences."

"Right, there are no strangers here, the assassin certainly isn’t here."

...Everyone present echoed in agreement.

The assassins in the room subtly moved behind their masters, trying their best to play the role of a servant.

"No strangers, that’s good." Si Jinhan smiled brilliantly, sending a shiver down the spines of Zhang Da and the others as they detected the implications of his words.

"Release the dogs." Chu Suifeng coldly issued the order.

The three guards leading the military dogs immediately loosened the chains in their hands.

The now-free military dogs joyfully but warily pounced towards the people standing behind Zhang Da and the other family heads.

Those men who had previously been bitten by Gougou, reflexively extended their hands and used their inner strength to strike back at the dogs who rushed at them.

The several guards accompanying the dogs, being skilled in martial arts, would not allow anyone to hurt the dogs, and sprang up to intercept the men.

"How dare you," Zhang Da seeing trouble, quickly reprimanded his staff. After making sure his servant behind him remained still, he turned to Chu Suifeng with a forced smile, "Prince, it’s a misunderstanding. They were just startled by Gougou, they didn’t really intend to harm your dog."

"Arrest them." Chu Suifeng, true to his reputation as a war deity, had no desire to drag out this trial with Zhang Da and others, "Anyone resisting will be killed without mercy."

"Prince, what crime have we committed?" The head of the Xia family, keeping his calm, asked Chu Suifeng. His tone was ostensibly respectful, but carried a note of querying disdain.

"Still not giving up, huh?" Si Jinhan remarked indifferently, "Sir, let me show you some evidence."

Having said that, he seemed unconcerned but the man standing behind Zhang Da already had his top peeled off. Under the candlelight, the white bandages heavily wrapped around the man’s arm were suddenly exposed to everyone.

"I don’t have a penchant for undressing people. Since it’s done, stop hiding." Si Jinhan’s smile appeared somewhat eerie in the candlelight.

"Take the dogs and search every residence." Chu Suifeng ordered.

"Yes, Prince." The three guards promptly led the dogs out.

All the family heads present were shocked. It seemed the Prince was determined to eliminate everyone. They glanced at the black-armored soldiers in the courtyard, then thought about their own manpower. Secretly regretting, in order to do business, they had sent out important personnel to assassinate the Ma and Bai families. Was today the day their ship sank in the gutter?

Chu Suifeng unfeelingly took in the expressions on their faces. These people, who had their way in Feng City for so many years, has forgotten who the real master of Feng City was.

Si Jinhan looked down on these people even more. They were just wealthy families with a lot of silver, but what did these things count for in the face of weaponry and power? They were all fools. Hadn’t they noticed how firmly in control the Prince was of the military in these years?
