The reason for this was that Yu Wendan had come forward at the southern city post station to accuse the veteran of three dynasties, Zhao Yang, of possibly being a foreign Heavenly Demon, causing a huge stir throughout the capital and leading to political instability.
Anyone with an interest could tell that someone was fanning the flames behind the scenes.
Even before the commander of the Assassination Bureau, Lin Twelve, could start a formal investigation, the matter had already become well known throughout the city. It was clear that someone was creating public opinion to force the court to conduct a serious investigation into Zhao Yang.
