Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1480

Then they placed him on a specially prepared hospital bed next to them.

That's right. Just now, Zhang Hai didn't think too much about it and put Master Zheng on the ground as soon as he entered the room, all for the sake of convenience.

So, although Master Zheng's actions just now were merely a bow, they actually looked no different from kneeling.

Otherwise, Wei Wu wouldn't have specifically spoken up to criticize Zhang Hai.

After Zhang Hai settled Zheng Shiye in, Wei Wu did not pursue the matter further and instead brought up serious business.

“Shen Lin told me everything that happened just now. Although the White Lotus Taoist got away, it’s not your fault.”

"After all, this stinky rat is cunning and has strange methods. Since Master Zheng is alright, I'll consider your mission accomplished."

"However, the capture of the White Lotus Taoist must continue, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble it will cause next."

At this point, Wei Wu paused, lowered his head, and pondered for a moment before continuing:

"This operation failed and alerted the enemy. Given the cautious nature of the White Lotus Taoist, he will surely hide and hide even deeper."

"It is now certain that there is a problem with the Embroidered Uniform Guard, but it is impossible to determine whether there is a traitor or someone has been impersonated."

"Alright, tomorrow morning you should go to the headquarters of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and find Mao Xiang, and tell him in detail about the problems we have discovered."

"For now, we can only start with the Embroidered Uniform Guard to investigate thoroughly and see if we can find any clues with Mao Xiang's cooperation."

No sooner had Wei Wu finished speaking than Zhang Hai immediately interjected.

"Young Master, do you mean that the White Lotus Taoist might be impersonating a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard?"

"That's right!"

Wei Wu nodded in agreement, but then immediately added an explanation.

"The White Lotus Sect has been around for so long, no one knows what kind of strange methods they possess."

"And since the White Lotus Taoist is the leader of the White Lotus Sect, it's possible that he could do such a thing. Let's make a bold assumption and then verify it carefully!"

After listening to Wei Wu's explanation, Zhang Hai lowered his head and remained silent for a while before expressing his own thoughts.

"Young Master, as you said, could we have Mao Xiang secretly investigate who missed their shift tomorrow?"

"The White Lotus Taoist was shot by Old Shen, so it's impossible for him to go to work despite the gunshot wound. Therefore, whoever is not there is the most suspicious."

"In addition, we can keep an eye on all the pharmacies in the capital to see if anyone goes there to buy hemostatic drugs and wound medicine."

After Zhang Hai finished explaining his idea, Wei Wu agreed that it was indeed a good one and nodded in approval:

"Okay, do it your way, but don't forget to inform the Five Cities Garrison that all those leaving the city must be strictly checked."

"The White Lotus Taoist was shot in the leg, so investigate everyone with leg injuries. If it's a gunshot wound, arrest them immediately!"

With Mao Xiang's assistance, the Embroidered Uniform Guard was under the command of the Five City Garrison at the city gates, effectively putting the entire capital under martial law.

In addition, the White Lotus Taoist was shot, and this was not an injury that could be resolved by bandaging and taking medicine alone; surgery was needed to remove the bullet.

The White Lotus Taoist probably doesn't have that ability; under normal circumstances, he would only choose to use medicine to stop the bleeding and heal the wound.

As long as all the pharmacies in the capital are kept under close surveillance, there's no need to secretly place people; just send people out in the open to keep an eye on them.

If the White Lotus Taoist doesn't want to bleed to death, he'll have no choice but to risk buying medicine, which will surely expose his true colors!

It can be said that starting tomorrow, the entire capital city will enter a state of full martial law.

Even if the White Lotus Taoist had a hundred tricks up his sleeve, Wei Wu didn't believe that he could escape under these circumstances!

Even with his system, he wasn't confident he could escape unscathed if he were in the same position as the White Lotus Daoist.

After all, the real threat to the White Lotus Taoist was the gunshot wound; if it wasn't treated properly, his life would be in danger.
