Chapter 31: The Shadow of the New Emperor
In the palace, there were screams, but no one paid attention.
After the death of the empress, Taiping's control of the palace was beyond everyone's imagination. To put it bluntly, if Taiping wants the new emperor to die today, he will definitely not survive tomorrow.
The empress is too domineering and tyrannical, even if it is her own children, she is afraid and hated for the empress. The new emperor Li Dan is also in the same mood in his heart. After the death of the empress, he became the emperor and unceremoniously occupied everything for the empress.
Naturally, this also includes the treasure that can automatically play music.
Therefore, the nightmare that constantly harassed the empress found a new emperor again. This nightmare will make Xindi sleep restlessly every night, but now is the critical juncture when Xindi needs to make enough achievements. The new emperor went to the court every day with two pairs of dark circles under his eyes, and he looked like he had been destroyed by something all night, and those courtiers didn't think much about it.
At this time, Princess Taiping exerted her strength to promote a little rumor, and the reputation of the new emperor was over.
He Yun simply defected to the new emperor's men, while the headless general would be arranged by He Yun to kill people everywhere. Killing people belongs to the kind of people who are dissatisfied with the new emperor Li Dan, and they are also a thorn in the eyes of Taiping.
While the murders continued to appear, Princess Taiping was naturally not idle, she contacted the loyal ministers of the Wu family, and developed a group of traitors who were caught with sore feet through the Meihua internal guard, and the two parties worked together to gradually participate in the political affairs of the court. The new emperor Li Dan was groggy every day, and even slept in the court, although Li Tang's old ministers were dissatisfied with Taiping's participation in politics, they had to acquiesce in this fact.
And the continuous murders finally attracted Master Di. At this moment, as the prime minister, because of the rotation of the emperor, there are many things, but more and more ministers have been killed, so he has to put aside his affairs for the time being and start investigating the case.
As soon as Master Di, who had almost touched the truth, got involved, the case developed rapidly, and he quickly found clues. That night, he took Li Yuanfang and a group of officers and soldiers to the residence of the headless general after he was freed from slavery.
Luo Zhi, who got the news, immediately left the Taiping Princess Mansion and rushed to the scene.
When he arrived, half of the small courtyard was smashed, and looking inside from the breach, the headless general himself, who was not wearing the camouflage armor of the headless general, was only holding a phoenix-winged gold pickle, and was in a fierce battle with Li Yuanfang.
Between the swings of the phoenix wings and the gold hammer, there is a faint phantom illusion of the eagle with dripping blood, plus the headless general himself is born with divine power and strength. And Li Yuanfang is worthy of being the biggest hanger in this play, countless sword flowers danced with the Youlan Sword in his hand, and there was a faint phantom of a swordsman, dancing behind him.
Although his strength was inferior, Li Yuanfang was absolutely superior to the headless general in terms of skills, but he needed the testimony of the headless general and wanted to capture him alive, so he didn't dare to attack the headless general's vital point, so the two of them fought hotly and couldn't take it down for a while.
Luo Zhi found the corpse of the knife ghost under the collapsed wall next to him.
He died a terrible death.
But it doesn't matter, if you die, you die. The point is that the headless general cannot be captured alive.
Luo Zhi quietly retreated.
It's useless to snipe a headless general with that recurve bow. Li Yuanfang can easily block arrows, and the headless general who fought with Li Yuanfang may also have such an ability.
"I might have to unblock my excess sniper rifle once today."
Half a quarter of an hour later, Luo Zhi was more than a hundred meters away when he saw Li Yuanfang defeat the headless general, tied him up and escorted him away. At the moment when the phoenix-winged gold pistol left the headless general's arm, a dazzling purple light appeared in Luo Zhi's eyes.
"Huh? That thing turned out to be a purple piece of equipment? ”
It's a pity that the phoenix wings were taken away by the officials as physical evidence.
Luo Zhi temporarily let go of his thirst for the phoenix wings and gold pickle, consumed five hundred points, unsealed the excess sniper rifle, and aimed the scope at the headless general.
"The power of the excess sniper rifle is still not enough, and it is not enough to kill people under the protection of Li Yuanfang...... 110 powerful arrows were all shot away by a sword, although the bullet was fast, but in terms of power. Forget it, there are infinite bullets anyway, so let's just make a big move! ”
Luo Zhi locked the headless general's head, then carried the spear, and walked leisurely to Princess Taiping's mansion, until he reached the door, and said in his heart: "I have been walking for about fifteen minutes, and the escort over there should be almost there." ”
He shot a bullet into the sky, and without looking, walked through the door.
But that bullet was ten times more powerful, and it flew around in the air.
A bullet that enters the soul, regardless of distance, as long as it is locked, it will be hit!
On Li Yuanfang's side, the speed of the escort was even faster than Luo Zhi expected. When Luo Zhi returned to the Taiping Mansion, the headless general had been sent to the prison, and Li Yuanfang was about to go to Lord Di to interrogate the prisoner, when he suddenly heard a loud noise, turned around, and saw that the headless general behind him had become a wreck, and above his head, the moonlight shone in through the big hole in the water tank.
Now that the headless general is dead, He Yun is of little use. Feilong makes this title sound good, but in fact, he is just a horse breeder, and the reason why he can cause a case that shocks the whole country is actually because of the planning of the national teacher and the help of the plum blossom internal guard, He Yun himself has no talent.
In the original plot, it was because of He Yun's flaws that Master Di caught the headless general.
However, the matter of killing He Yun does not need Luo Zhi to do it, just send the plum blossom internal guard. Therefore, in less than half an hour after the death of the headless general, He Yun had already died quietly and silently in his mansion.
At the same time, all kinds of forged evidence will also appear in He Yun's mansion, proving that the powerful ghosts who keep killing ministers in the city are actually instructed by him, but at the same time, it is the new emperor Li Dan who has just become emperor who instructs him.
Of course, all cases, as long as they are done, there will be flaws, and Lord Di will see the flaws sooner or later, and even find the real culprit behind the scenes by clues. Luo Zhi believed that Master Di had this ability, but Luo Zhi would not give him time.
Tomorrow morning, a group of ministers will go to He Yun's mansion and see the evidence.
At the same time, rumors will spread throughout the Divine Capital, and even the world. Even if Master Di Niu Thirteen found the truth in one day, what should he do to dispel all the rumors in one day?
At this point, Luo Zhi has already done everything he should do, if Taiping still can't complete the task of listening to the government, then Luo Zhi can only rely on continuous assassinations to forcibly send Taiping to that position.
The next day, the plan was soon launched, and in the court, Princess Taiping first asked about the development of Lord Di's case, and Lord Di said that it was still being handled, but Taiping said that he did not say that he would let Lord Di finish the case now, but just wanted to know the progress.
Speaking of which, Master Di couldn't hide it, so he had to explain the development of the case.
In the court, many people knew that the headless general was actually He Yun's slave, but he had recently escaped from slavery. This matter undoubtedly involved He Yun.
So, Taiping said: "Since the murderer is dead, let's investigate the people close to the murderer first." ”
At this moment, even the new emperor, who has always been in low spirits, can feel that a huge black curtain is about to attack him!
