The death of Zhao Weizhen was extremely bizarre.
It was somewhat like a locked-room murder case.
The guards outside insisted there was no disturbance and that they hadn't left their post.
However, several civil clerks inside said that they just had a moment of distraction and then found Minister of War Zhao lying motionless on the desk, which prompted them to realize something was wrong.
Injuries?
None whatsoever.
Given the peculiarity, someone clearly was lying.
Yangdu Marquis Chai Ce ordered the interrogation of the civil clerks, but yielded nothing.
After two hours, Yangdu Marquis Chai Ce returned to his Military Mansion, which was heavily guarded by the army like a residence.
He summoned another trusted aide, Right Military Adviser Sun Yi.
