Who wants to assassinate Zhao Ji?

Li Gang and his people rushed to Shengdefang, only to find that the people in the shop had been dead for a long time, and even the assassin who had just escaped had disappeared in such a short period of time!
  Zhao Ji was assassinated, and the people watching the excitement in front of the shop were also silenced. For a while, not even a person could be seen.

On a street, within a hundred or ten meters, no one can breathe!
  Except, of course, for the kid in the middle of the road.

Li Gang got Zhao Ji's order and sent someone to check the shop when he searched it. The child was still alive, with a pair of big black bean-like eyes. He looked around in fear. When he saw someone coming, he desperately raised his upper body and shrank back. One leg was curled up in a strange posture.

This kid is very lucky.

He was thrown from the second floor of the store and was knocked away before his body hit the ground. He vomited blood in his mouth and his legs were broken. Yet he was still alive and conscious!
  It's just a pity that although he is awake, he seems to be frightened. If you ask him anything, he will just stare at him with big confused eyes, shake his head in horror, and be unable to reply a word.

Seeing that he couldn't get any useful information out of him, Li Gang had to send someone to take him to Tai Hospital. While seeing a doctor, he was under strict supervision and no one was allowed to approach.

This boy is the only witness at the moment. Even if Zhao Ji doesn't give orders, Li Gang won't let him die like this.

After sending the child away, Li Gang expanded the scope of the search.

Entry and exit registrations were sent to the four gates of the capital. Whether they were people from the capital or those who came to visit relatives, everything was implemented from top to bottom, leaving no omissions.

Even the Lantern Festival the next day was cancelled. You can hang up the lanterns made by each family at will, but you are not allowed to go out to enjoy them. The streets are cleared, and the imperial guards go door to door to check the population. If there is any unclear explanation, they will be arrested. He was arrested and sent to the Imperial City Guards for strict interrogation.

Even so, the whereabouts of those assassins could not be found.

Li Gang was a little depressed. The gates of the capital had long been under security and no suspicious people were coming or going. He had only dug three feet of the ground to search the entire capital. How could he not find even a single hair of the assassin?
  Could it be that there is somewhere else that he couldn't think of?
  While he was wondering about the solution, Zhao Ji summoned him to enter the palace.

He worked hard for two days and two nights without eating or sleeping, and achieved nothing. How could he have the nerve to enter the palace and face the officials?

Thinking of this, he let out a long sigh and stepped into the main hall of Yanfu Palace.

Zhao Ji did not sit in front of the throne, but sat on the right side with Zhao Fujin. Yanqing and Yanxi were waiting behind them. In front of them, a square piece of white cotton hung.

A ray of light shone on the white cotton cloth from Zhao Fujin's sleeve. Suddenly, he saw a figure moving on the white cotton cloth.

The four pairs of eyes in the main hall were staring at the white cloth attentively. Even Li Gang's apology could not make them turn around.

"Li Qing is here, come and take a look!" Zhao Ji glanced at Li Gang and stretched out his hand to beckon: "The assassin is here!"

Where is the assassin?

Li Gang was startled. Following Zhao Ji's command, he stood beside Zhao Fujin and looked at the white cloth with the figure swaying.

In the white cloth, it was the street of Shengdefang. A dozen assassins chased and fired arrows forward. When they chased near General Beiwei's mansion, they suddenly scattered and ran away, running to different directions, and were knocked down together. The women of the land were also picked up and taken away. On the white cloth, only the silent streets and the whistling wind were left.

Li Gang thought it was over. Just when he was about to speak, he saw his own shadow appearing in the white cloth.

He hurriedly arrived with his fully armed imperial guards, ran in and out of the shops along the street, took out many corpses from the shops, then looked at the child, sent the child away, and continued the search...

"This, what kind of painting is this? It can actually restore what I did the day before yesterday!" Li Gang's eyes almost fell off. He stared blankly at himself in the painting, walking in and out of the shop, asking for questions from his subordinates. The place where he stood was the same as the day before!
  So, are those assassins who were running around just now the same people that I have been searching for for two days and two nights?

However, he has obviously searched all the residences in Shengdefang, where are these people hiding? How come it disappeared without a trace?
  Moreover, what on earth is this white cloth, and how can we see what has happened?
  "This is a film and painting. You can see what happened recently!" Zhao Ji was already used to the things Zhao Fujin took out. He looked at Li Gang: "Fu'er said that a suspicious person will appear in the painting. Let's Take a look, take this man’s portrait, and offer a reward for his capture!”

Surprisingly, when I was checking around, someone suspicious appeared?
  Li Gang crossed his arms and stared at the canvas with his eyes wide open.

In the canvas, a man on horseback comes from the direction of Shengdefang. He is wearing a dark green cotton robe and a ring of white hair around his neck. He is tall and powerful, riding a horse and swaying northward out of the canvas.

Immediately afterwards, at the corner of the canvas, a half-back figure appeared, poking his head towards the Imperial City Guards who were searching the street, then retracted, and looked back at the canvas.

When Zhao Fujin was here, he lightly slid his fingers to zoom in and freeze the man's face in the middle of the canvas: "This man is extremely suspicious."

Zhao Ji nodded and said to Li Gang: "At that time, you had already secured the streets and guarded all exits, but this person appeared sneakily in the area. Maybe he was an assassin who came out to explore the road."

"What the official said is very true. I will go and draw this person's portrait and arrest him!" Li Gang, who had no clue, finally got a clue. He suddenly became energetic and was about to resign.

"Wait a minute, General Li, I've already drawn this person's portrait. You can just use it to find him!" Zhao Fujin grabbed it upwards, and a stack of white paper appeared in his hand.

In the middle of the white paper, there is a portrait, which is exactly the same as the person frozen in the canvas!
  Di Ji is truly a divine being!
  Li Gang was shocked. He bowed his head piously and took the white paper with both hands: "Thank you, Di Ji!"

"General Li, you're welcome. This person must be from the capital. He has appeared near Shengdefang many times. You should get something from asking there with the portrait." Zhao Fujin handed the painting to his hand and explained again. One sentence: "There is also a problem with the horseman in the painting, but it is a pity that his frontal image is not photographed. When you search, you should also pay attention to similar people."

Li Gang respectfully agreed and left the main hall.

"Does the inner prisoner have something to say?" Zhao Fujin watched Li Gang leave the palace door and turned to look at the inner chamberlain Yanqing.

"Old slave~~" Yanqing lowered his head with a confused look on his face. After Zhao Fujin asked, he quickly glanced at Zhao Ji, but did not reply directly.

"You old man, why don't you say something quickly, why are you so hesitant!" Zhao Ji glared at Yanqing.

"Officials, I think I have seen this person before." Yanqing was scolded and did not dare to hide it anymore. He pointed at the person in the canvas and said: "He is an imperial merchant. His surname is Cheng. He is from the palace." Most of the porcelain is provided by others."

Is it an imperial merchant?
