"Isn't he the Martial Arts Grandmaster who attempted to assassinate the Minister of Justice's family last time? There was a court reward for him back then, though the bounty wasn't as high. Are these nobles he killed too?"
"It's possible. Last time he tried to kill the Minister of Justice, it might have been to rid the people of a scourge."
"Fortunately, he didn't succeed. If he had assassinated the top scholar, where would our lives be now?"
"However, killing these nobles was the right thing to do. I hope this hero doesn't get caught..."

In just two days, discussions in Chang'an about that matter have gradually subsided.
Some of the populace chose to believe.
And those who did not believe, also dared not discuss it further.
