Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Imperial Court Was Shocked

In the middle of the night, one of the guards discovered that their commander had killed the adult in his bed.

"My lord, my lord, what's wrong with you?" The guard went up and touched it, and the passerby's body was already cold, and it was obvious that he had been dead for a long time.

Several guards frantically lifted the body of the passer-by, only to find the sharp knife that had penetrated through the bed into the passerby's neck.

"Your Excellency!"

The entire convoy soon learned of the assassination of the passerby, and at this moment, they did not care about anything else, and began to search for the assassin in this mansion.

They searched until dawn, and they carefully searched the entire house, every house, and every inch of the ground twice, and they did not find even a single ghost.

"How can it be, how can an adult die, you can't die, your ambition has not been rewarded." The eyes of the captain of the guard who were crying were as swollen as blood peaches.

He has been following Lu Xingren for many years, knowing that Lu Xingren intends to develop in the army, looking for opportunities to make meritorious contributions outside the Saiwai, and then with the help of some connections, he got the title of a marquis. If you die in battle, you will be a hero.

After all, this is a mistake, and it can be regarded as a heroic martyrdom, if so, Lu Xingren is the first commander to die in the line of duty since the establishment of Jinyiwei.

In the past, there were many commanders who were killed, which shows that this is a high-risk position, but those people were punished for corruption and even rebellion. There is no such martyrdom as a passerby, and generally speaking, the probability of dying in the high position of the commander is very low.

Not every one of them was loyal, but the point was that the passers-by were stabbed to death under their strict vigilance, and according to the law, they were all guilty, and no one escaped.

Some people even want to take advantage of the chaos to escape, but unfortunately there are family members and relatives in Beijing, which is called a monk who can run away from the temple. This is also one of the criteria for the selection of Jinyiwei, and they must all be concerned, so that they dare not mess around, otherwise they will harm their families.

After repeated searches to no avail, they had to give up, find a large cart, put the bodies of passers-by on them, cover them with a quilt, and bring the damned bed and the murder weapon, which was evidence, and they burned the house to the ground in anger as if they were leaving.

They didn't go any further, but hurried back, and to hell with any support missions, investigation missions, the adults were all killed, and the sky was falling.

Tang Sui's army endured hunger and cold, and finally ushered in reinforcements at dawn.

It was a search party of the strong eunuchs of the palace led by five Ouchi guards, and they were accompanied by the rest of their group, but they were followed by long vehicles, each with white flowers on them.

"Your Excellency, you are still alive, but Lord Lu, they ...... They were all killed. When a thousand households under Tang Sui saw Tang Sui and the others, they ran over as if they had seen their relatives and said something that shocked them.

"What? Lord Lu died in the line of duty? ”

Tang Sui and the others couldn't believe that Master Lu was the leader of another team, and he was also the commander of another Jinyi Guard, the same as the people of his team.

"How do you know they're all dead?" Tang Sui grabbed the arm of the thousand households and asked.

"My lord, they ...... They're all in the car in the back, everybody's there. "This Qianhu is also a heroic man, who has always admired bleeding without tears, but at this time he is crying like a child.

The people on Tang Sui's side also began to cry, one or two people cried, and some people followed, and crying was also extremely contagious.

Tang Sui's heart was also tight, but he didn't cry, he wanted to cry now without tears.

He hurriedly stepped forward to see the five inner guards and the leader of the eunuch team, and the two parties communicated the situation, only to know that these people came out yesterday evening, they were bold and bold, not afraid of rushing in the dark, searched hundreds of miles around, and finally found several groups of people who were divided into Tang Sui's team, these people were like Tang Sui, and they didn't dare to rush in the dark night, so they could only stay in place and wait for help.

Ouchi guards didn't laugh when they talked about their stubborn waiting, although it wasn't much of a fortification when no one was attacking at all, but in that situation, it was appropriate to choose to stick to the spot, after all, they weren't the same magnitude as Ouchi guards. Just because the murderer didn't show up doesn't mean he's not around, and the possibility of an attack can happen at any time.

"How did those brothers get killed?" Tang Sui asked.

"It's all a one-hit kill." A large internal guard was also a little shocked.

Several Ouchi guards told Tang Sui that those people died in the same way as the forty or so people on the ground, they were all stabbed in the throat with a sword and killed instantly, which means that there was only one murderer.

Tang Sui heard that there was only one person, and he killed more than 200 of them lightly, and at this time they didn't know that the passers-by were also killed in the hands of the assassins, but the methods were different.

"Who is so fierce, this is like entering a no-man's land." Tang Sui opened his mouth wide.

One of the Ouchi guards smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Tang, if you say something disrespectful, any one of our brothers can do it." Of course we won't do it. ”

"Of course, that's of course." Tang Sui hurriedly said.

"Lord Tang, there are too many capable people in the world, and our brothers are nothing. If you lose your troops this time, the Holy Lord will not blame you, after all, such a person is not your ability to defeat at all. A large internal guard said.

"Thank you for your understanding, and I hope that your lord will go back and ...... in front of the saint," Tang Sui arched his hand.

"Don't worry, Lord Tang, our family will truthfully report to Lord Banzai when we go back, and there will be no involvement of Lord Tang." The eunuch leader smiled.

"Then thank you all for your success, and I will definitely visit you when I go back." Tang Sui suffered from the cold all night, but at this time he was covered in sweat.

"No need, we move around with you a lot, the Holy Lord will be unhappy, Lord Tang should concentrate on official business." A large internal guard said lightly. Obviously, Tang Sui's Jinyi Guard commander is not in the eyes of these inner guards.

Tang Sui had no choice but to thank him, and didn't dare to say anything else.

He has only seen these people a few times in the palace, and they are all nostril-facing figures, and he never bothered to talk to them, and today he said so much because of the intersection of official duties.

These Ouchi guards and eunuchs requisitioned all the coffins of the longevity shops in the town that could be found nearby, and also requisitioned dozens of big cars, together with the car owner, saying that they would pay again when they arrived in the capital, and everyone saw these dead bodies, and then saw the eyes of these people who were about to kill, where did they dare to mention a word of money, they only hoped to send it to the ground, and they would burn high incense if they could come back alive.

Nearly 300 horses, 300 riders, followed by a long cart with white flowers, along the way, many people in Jinyi Guard went crazy to buy burning paper, paper money, and then scattered paper money all over the road all over the place, and there were scorched black marks after burning paper in many places.

In the sad eyes of the people along the way, this convoy was a huge funeral procession, but everyone guessed wrong, they were not for the funeral, but to pull the body back, and it was only later that the funeral was involved.

Just when the guards of the passers-by and the procession that looked like a funeral were halfway through, the fast horse had already transmitted the news to the palace, and at the same time to the palace were dozens of notes found on the corpses, all with a line of handwriting: The one who investigates the lord will not be pardoned!

The handwriting of the notes was identical, apparently from one person, and they were all found on the dead Jinyi guard.

The emperor looked at these two reports and almost overturned the imperial case, this is someone who provoked his supreme dignity outside the capital.

In particular, he was even more shocked by the death of a passerby, under the strict vigilance of more than a hundred Jinyi guards, it was difficult for a fly to fly in, and an assassin actually lurked under the bed to assassinate the number one person in Jinyiwei. A member of the imperial court is not in vain and has a life, what is this not against the imperial court?

This incident surprised the emperor more than the death of a team, and he even panicked a little, was he really that safe in the palace?

Then he realized that this was exactly what the Assassins were intending to do, and that killing pedestrians was for him.

"After the guards of the pedestrians entered the city, they were immediately imprisoned and thoroughly investigated for any moles." He gave his first will.

"Minion Command." A eunuch answered the call and ran out as fast as he could.

The emperor's hands were still trembling, shocked, panicked, angry and a little afraid.

He wanted to investigate the assassins who had killed them, but the Assassins came out of the ground, killed more than half of the people he sent to investigate, and deliberately killed passers-by but left the guards to show him, nothing more than a warning that the Assassins did not need to break through layer by layer, they could sneak anywhere behind enemy lines, and then suddenly kill someone.

Nima, Lao Mei's decapitation operation is not an invention, it has been there for a long time.

"Arrogance, rebellion." The emperor slapped the imperial case a few times, and the tea bowl inkstone on it shook loudly.

"The emperor is angry, these gangsters are these little tricks, the people below can deal with it, the emperor doesn't have to be angry about this little thing." Zhang Whale hurriedly persuaded.

"Is this still a trifle? He killed so many of my Jinyi Guards, and he also killed the commanders of the Jinyi Guards? If the following people do it, who can do it? You can't let my personal guards run these cases, right? The emperor was furious.

Zhang Whale didn't dare to speak, what the emperor said was also the truth, half of the elite of Jinyiwei was exhausted, but the soldiers were lost, and the number one person was actually killed and sunk in the sand, who else could take over the case?

If it comes to investigating cases, no one can be stronger than the passers-by, and the Beijing Army and the Imperial Forest Army may be stronger, but it is more difficult to send a large army to catch an assassin, which is more difficult than looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Your Majesty, if you don't invite the commander of the guards to come and listen to his opinion, there are also a few worshippers, all of whom are also masters of the world, they may ......" Zhang Whale said, not daring to continue to offer advice, he found that the emperor's face was getting more and more ugly, and then he found the reason.
