One of the Dai Clan's Ten Elders was lured out of the city and killed late at night. Dozens of guards accompanying him were all beheaded.
This was no small matter, enough to throw the entire Dai Clan into a storm of suspicion.

Or bolster their defenses, lest they be killed one day without ever knowing why.
Dai Weisi naturally knew
