After the three of them entered Li Zhou's courtyard, they encountered three waves of patrolling guards in less than two minutes, which was far stricter than the last time Ye Chen came. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But in the same way, although Qi Hui and Wan Yu are young, after the orc war, they are no longer what they used to be, and Ye Chen, a character who is like a hanger, directly broke into the inner courtyard all the way.

At the same time, Wang Linzhi and others were settling in an abandoned village outside the capital, but there were only about 100 people left, and all of them were dressed as merchants, as for the previous hundreds of thousands of Wang generals, they were all gone.

Early the next morning, when the sky had just dawned and the city gate had not yet opened, Ye Chen appeared at the city gate with Qi Hui and Wan Yu.

As soon as the three of them came out, there was a panicked sound in the capital behind, because when people were asleep, a fire broke out in the capital, starting from the mansion of Li Zhou, the secretary of the ministry, and burned all the way over.

Although the fire was detected as soon as it broke out, it was the end of autumn, and the fire had just ignited, and with the sudden strong wind, the fire was unstoppable for a while.

Of course, the most important thing is far more than that, when the forbidden army near the imperial city rushed to put out the fire, they suddenly found that Li Zhou's mansion had been burned with blood, and Li Zhou himself was also hacked to death by someone with a knife, and he had long been gone.

As for the rest of the people, except for a very few maids and subordinates, almost all of them were not spared, and even those who survived, after seeing this scene that seemed to be purgatory on earth, all lived in nightmares for the rest of their lives.

After the incident, it was transmitted to the palace as soon as possible, and also to the ears of Emperor Qi, who was sleeping.

"What the hell is going on, how can the dignified officials and the scholars be killed like this, or is it in their own homes, what are the forbidden troops in the city for?"

As soon as the words fell, all the eunuchs and palace maids in the house were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, shouting and begging for mercy, not knowing what was going on.

After a while, Qi Fu, who had just fallen asleep, also knew about the situation here, and rushed here at the same time, but as soon as he walked outside the door, he heard Emperor Qi scolding everyone in the house.

"The old slave sees the emperor, and I hope that the emperor will take care of the Holy Body."

After hearing this, Emperor Qi's face finally softened, and he waved his hand: "You all go down." ”

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly thanked the Holy Grace and left, not wanting to stay here any longer.

"Okay, excuse me, look at this group of rubbish, it's really useless, I'm afraid you're the only one who is really looking forward to my well." Emperor Qi turned around and sat down on the dragoon and began to sigh. Qi Fu didn't say much after getting up, and hurriedly found a piece of clothing and draped it on Emperor Qi's body, "What is the emperor talking about, although the situation is a little chaotic now, but the world is yours after all, as long as we can stabilize the situation, I believe it won't be long before you will let us regain our glory." ”

"Stabilize the situation, it's too late, it's impossible." Emperor Qi said something self-deprecatingly, and then stopped speaking, but his eyes were staring at Qi Fu, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.

Qi Fu has been by Emperor Qi's side for more than ten years, and he can be said to be the person who knows him best, especially now, he understands what the person in front of him wants to do.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not the right time yet, if we really do this, I'm afraid it will be impossible to get it back."

"What's not the right time, the original situation is bad enough, but Li Zhou is also dead, you also know the relationship between him and the Fang family, do you think we can still be bystanders after this incident?"

"Your Majesty, we don't necessarily need to be bystanders, since the matter has come to this point, then it would be good for us to get involved, and the matter in Lizhou was not done by us, maybe it was done by the Liu family?" Qi Hui was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted, got up and whispered: "Are you saying that we provoke their relationship and let them kill each other, but..."

"Your Majesty, there is nothing to do, this should be the only way now, and they already have a contradiction now, it is the time for us to do it, as long as this matter is completed, there will only be one of the three families left, and the choice will be completely in our hands."

“......”

At the same time, all the passages in the capital were blocked, the city gates were closed, and the forbidden army and officials began to search the people of the city from house to house, and anyone who had the slightest suspicion was arrested and put in prison.

Therefore, in less than half a day, all the prisoners in the government offices of the capital were already detained, but unfortunately, even if so many people were detained, no clues were found about the person who set the fire yesterday.

However, just when this group of people was in trouble, a holy decree suddenly came from the palace, saying that the culprit had been found and had been imprisoned in the prison.

At the same time, not only were the prisoners released from the previous arrests, but all martial law at the city gates and roads was lifted, as if nothing had happened at all.

Of course, not everyone believed the news, because after the decree came down, it only said that the murderer had been found, but did not say who the murderer was or where he came from.

It's just that these curious people are only thinking about it in their hearts, and they don't dare to publicize their own statements, for fear that they will be involved.

At the same time, some people thought of what happened in the capital a few years ago, the two direct sons of the Fang family and the Li family were killed, all in one day, and the murderer was also not found.

Outside the capital.

After Ye Chen, Qi Hui and Wan Yu came out, they did not leave here, but went back directly in the direction of Xiazhou, eager to go back and see the situation there.

As for the situation in the capital, it was no longer their concern, for Ye Chen, as long as Li Zhou died, their purpose would be accomplished.

Moreover, they have come all the way, although they have heard countless news, which proves that Wang Jiajun's current situation is not too bad, but it is not optimistic.

Fortunately, a few months ago, their battle in South Korea directly removed the 200,000 Fang family army.

Of course, this did not come without a price, as a quarter of the Wang Jiajun were killed or wounded, and a third of Qi Hui's men were killed in that battle.

But fortunately, the result was good, their goal was achieved, and before returning to the Qi State, they had already heard the news that the Fang and Liu families were suspicious of each other.

It's just that the two sides are an alliance after all, and they are all in collusion with the orcs, although there are suspicions, but if there is no follow-up, they can only stalemate for a while, and wait for the matter to be found out before reforming the alliance.

Now it's different, Li Zhou, a pivotal figure in the Fang family, is also dead, and it is absolutely impossible for the Fang family to continue to endure it, whether it is for themselves or for others, there must be an explanation.
