No one knew how the Assassin had managed to infiltrate the palace, but he disguised himself as a eunuch, holding a tray in both hands with a brocade-covered box on it, and trotted all the way to the Akishin Palace, where the Empress lived, as if he was in a hurry. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Had it not been for the Assassins, it was possible for the Assassins to reach their destination.

He hesitated at a fork in the road, puzzled by a group of guards who had already noticed him, and the Assassin suddenly shouted angrily, threw away the tray, showed the short knife hidden underneath, rushed forward and stabbed both of them, turned and jumped.

The guards were vigilant and quick enough to react, but one person was still stabbed, and the assassin didn't have any special moves, but the speed was too fast for people to dodge.

When Wang Helai reported the incident to the Emperor, the entire palace was still searching for the Assassins.

Han Ruzi was furious, if the palace couldn't even catch an assassin, exterminating Yun Mengze's bandits would be tantamount to a joke.

He wanted to go back to the palace in person to supervise the arrest, Wang He knelt down and persuaded His Majesty to be cautious, as the head of the guards, he could not hide the news from the emperor, but he must not watch the emperor take risks.

In the end, it was Meng E who persuaded the emperor, "The assassin going to Qiuxin Palace may be just a bluff, the purpose is to lure His Majesty back to the palace, Your Majesty must not be fooled." ”

Han Ruzi's anger did not subside, "Before dawn, the assassin must be caught, whether he is dead or alive. ”

Wang He went out to deliver the decree, and not long after, more envoys from the palace arrived, and the queen mother and queen both said that there was no danger and told the emperor not to move.

It was another sleepless night, the palace was tracking down the whereabouts of the assassins, and a large-scale manhunt had begun in the city, in order to prevent accidents, all the envoys could only enter the first gate of the Tihou Mansion and report the news to Cai Xinghai, Wang He and Jin Chunzhong, who would then report it to the emperor in time.

Although the danger had not yet approached the emperor, with the heavy responsibility of protecting them, the three of them felt that they could not be too cautious.

Lian Danchen prepared for many days, and once the operation progressed the fastest, after the assassin was caught, he was interrogated on the spot, regardless of whether he confessed or not, and first arrested the businessman who knew the assassin well.

The number of arrests increased rapidly, far exceeding the initial seven, and after the fourth watch, news came that the number of arrests had reached 100.

The assassin was finally found in the palace, as well as a palace gate Sima who colluded with him, and five soldiers.

"The Assassins have been surrounded, and are about to be caught."

"Five of the Assassins' accomplices were killed, and only two were left to resist."

"One guard and two guards were killed in the line of duty, many were wounded, and those two ...... is still stubbornly resisting. ”

Jin Chunzhong's news to the emperor quickly turned from excitement and confidence at the beginning to confusion and incomprehension, he did not understand how capable the assassin was to hold out for so long surrounded by hundreds of people.

"The palace gate Sima has been captured alive, and only the assassin is left......"

"Still resisting?" Han Ruzi asked.

Jin Chunzhong nodded awkwardly, although this was not his duty, he still felt ashamed, "Deputy Lieutenant Wang has rushed back to the palace to personally supervise the battle. ”

Han Ruzi turned his head and asked Meng E, "This is a master, right?" ”

Meng E nodded, "If he really persists in the siege for so long, he can still kill people, he is indeed a rare master." ”

"How is it better than you two brothers and sisters?"

"If it were the two of us, we would have been killed in a quarter of an hour."

Han Ruzi suddenly had a heart of cherishing talents, but an assassin is an assassin, and he has already killed people in the palace, and the crime is unforgivable, he can't say anything, not to mention that the Tired Marquis Mansion is separated from the palace by a distance after all, even if he sends an order, it will probably be too late to pass it on.

"This may be Luan Banxiong's righteous son, the one named Luan Kai, right? Have you heard of this person? Han Ruzi asked again.

Meng E thought for a while, "No, although Yishi Island and Yun Mengze have been in contact for a long time, I haven't heard of the name Luan Kai, he should be out of the school soon." ”

Jin Chunzhong hurried from outside again, "The assassin in the palace has been caught. ”

"Dead or alive?"

"The assassins and the colluding palace gate Sima should have been captured alive."

"Bring it here."

Jin Chunzhong was stunned for a moment and did not answer.

"Immediately." Han Ruzi added.

Jin Chunzhong hurriedly responded, turned around and went out, Han Ruzi called the eunuch again, and ordered him to return to the palace immediately to greet the queen mother and the queen.

The emperor could not interrogate the prisoners in person, but Han Ruzi insisted on listening, so Jin Chunzhong made arrangements to interrogate in one room, while the emperor listened in the next room, and the wall was drilled a few holes, so the sound could be heard clearly.

Jin Chunzhong knew the emperor's thoughts, and the first trial was the palace gate Sima, this person's name is Sun Mingming, in his forties, he has been in the Su Guard Army for nearly ten years, and he has been guarding the palace gate for three years, and his betrayal is the most surprising.

Sun Mingming was seriously injured, but he refused to give in, "If you want to kill, you will kill, I have nothing to say." ”

Jin Chunzhong did not lie and threaten, calmly asked the name, official position, and who else was in the family, Sun Mingming answered one by one, and finally said: "There is an old lady in the family, she died of illness three months ago, my wife was divorced by me, my daughter has been married for many years, and there are no other relatives, if the emperor has to be connected, I can't help it." ”

"Has the court treated you badly?"

Sun Mingming said: "You don't have to beat around the bush, don't you just want to know why I helped the assassins?" ”

"Well, your choice is indeed puzzling."

"Hey, you're just a minion on the emperor's side, and you didn't even know who I was before today, of course it's incomprehensible." After a pause, he asked, "Do you recognize Zhao Mengli?" ”

"A slight impression, also from the palace?"

Jin Chunzhong didn't recognize Zhao Mengli, but the emperor in the next room remembered, and immediately sent someone to inform Jin Chunzhong.

"It turned out to be the left general of the former Yugoslav Army, and I remembered that it was a famous fierce general."

Sun Mingming saw someone whispering to the interrogator, "Who told you?" Someone outside? Is it the emperor? ”

Jin Chunzhong didn't answer, and continued to ask: "Are you friends with Zhao Mengli?" ”

After a while, Sun Mingming raised his voice, "Your Majesty, Zhao Mengli and I are friends of life and death, when we were in the Southern Army, he sacrificed his life to save me, this favor is not repaid, Sun is ashamed to be a man!" ”

Sun Mingming was also a soldier of the Southern Army in the past, and had a very good relationship with Zhao Mengli, and later one was transferred to the Suwei Army, and the other was promoted to the left general of the Southern Army.

In Windward Village, Zhao Mengli was killed by the then tired marquis.

"Zhao Mengli disobeyed the decree, so you want to take revenge on Your Majesty?" Jin Chunzhong asked.

Han Ruzi was not the emperor when he killed Zhao Mengli, and it was not correct to say that Zhao Mengli's "resistance to the decree" was not correct, Sun Mingming did not refute, and said loudly: "The king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, I don't avenge Your Majesty, I avenge the Cui family!" ”

Zhao Mengli was once the most loyal general under Cui Hong, more trusted than his own brothers, but after Zhao Mengli's death, Cui Hong did not express any special expression, neither showed hatred, nor regret, and even ignored Zhao Mengli's family, as if he had completely forgotten this fierce general.

Zhao Mengli will resist the tired marquis because he obeys Cui Hong's orders, and Cui Hong's indifference makes some of Zhao Mengli's friends extremely indignant, Sun Mingming is one of them, unlike others, in addition to indignation, he dares to act.

He didn't hide it, he told everything about it, he had met "Yunxiong" two months ago, and after understanding the other party's intentions, he didn't accept it immediately and didn't tell him.

Yun Xiong struck while the iron was hot, visited the door three times in a row, and noticed that Sun Mingming hated the general Cui Hong even more, he took advantage of the situation and reversed the target of the assassination, "It's not enough to kill Cui Hong, the Cui family's power has two foundations, one is Cui Hong himself, the other is the queen, kill one and keep the other, the Cui family is still strong, and the Cui family must be eliminated at the same time to completely destroy the Cui family." ”

Sun Mingming was persuaded that he had five cronies who were willing to die with him, and he was also drawn in. The original plan was relatively simple, they just put the Assassins in the palace and the Assassins took care of the rest.

The assassin failed to enter the Qiuxin Palace, and ran around in the palace, Sun Mingming knew that after the investigation of the matter, he would be exposed sooner or later, and he was ruthless, with five cronies, pretending to hunt down the assassin, and went straight to the Qiuxin Palace.

The improvised plan was even less likely to succeed, and they were intercepted after a short walk, and they could not get anyone's will, so they simply set out to join the Assassins, and eventually killed and wounded two.

Sun Mingming has no regrets, "Sun died without regrets, I just want the world to know that Cui Hong is ashamed of General Zhao!" ”

Zhao Mengli is an obstacle that must be removed on the way to Han Ruzi's seizure of the throne, with the situation at that time, there will always be someone who will die, Han Ruzi has nothing to regret, but he still admires Sun Mingzi's personality, and sent a eunuch to inform Jin Chunzhong that Sun Mingzi does not need to be retried, and can be dealt with according to the law.

It was impossible for the emperor to pardon the betrayed palace gate Sima, but he didn't want him to suffer too much.

Jin Chunzhong asked Sun Mingming to take him away and replace him with an assassin.

"My name is Luan Kai, and I am the righteous son of the god general Luan Banxiong." The assassin was also seriously injured, but his tone was extremely relaxed, fearless, and even a little curious, "It's all my fault, I've looked at the map several times, but it's still wrong." Who would have thought that the map looked quite small, but when you really walked in, the palace was so big! It's bigger than my stockade! Well, Cui Hong was cut by me, the people around him were killed by me, and I entered the palace to kill the queen. That's it, I won't say anything else. You don't pay attention to it, so many people beat me up, I have the ability to fight alone, I lose, I will do anything, I win, you let me go. ”

"I'll go." In the next room, Meng E whispered.

"You're no match for him." Han Ruzi blurted out, but this was indeed what Meng E said.

"He's hurt, I can handle it."

Han Ruzi nodded reluctantly, "Don't use weapons." ”

Meng E nodded and went to the interrogation room, she spoke softly, Han Ruzi couldn't hear clearly, only Luan Kai laughed, "A palace maid? Haha, I only use one arm, let's win or lose. ”

After waiting for a while, there was a sound of fighting next door, not very loud and infrequently, and it seemed that the fight was weak.

After a full quarter of an hour, Meng E returned, nodding to the Emperor, his face slightly pale, apparently having made great efforts to defeat the wounded Assassin.

When the assassin spoke again, his voice was much quieter, and Han Ruzi still couldn't hear clearly, and not long after, Jin Chunzhong himself came over and said, "The assassin recruited Han Chou, and the Holy Army Division is also in the Han Mansion." ”

"It's time to arrest someone." Han Ruzi said.

Kim Chun-chung ended the interrogation and took people to Han's mansion.

Hearing that the assassin in the palace was arrested, Han Chou immediately understood that something was wrong, that stupid assassin couldn't keep the secret, and he had to find other ways to save himself.

Thankfully, he had already paved a way for himself, and now he can use it. (To be continued.) )
