The next day, while all the officials were waiting for the emperor to prepare to leave for Beijing, the emperor remained silent.

Kuang Shiheng buckled the door in front of everyone, pretending to be casual, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, it's time to leave!" ”

However, there was still no response from the house.

Suddenly, Zhao Hongde suddenly felt bad. He knew that the emperor had already intended to return to Beijing, and it was impossible for him to fall asleep on the day of his return.

Could it be, what happened?

"Come on, knock open this door for the city lord!" Zhao Hongde said sharply.

In an instant, a huge reckless man walked out from behind Zhao Hongde and slammed into him with his body.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the man slammed the door to the ground, and he collapsed into the room.

However, the scene inside the house shocked everyone present and made their hearts tremble.

Lying on the ground lay the royal guards, and the dragon totems on their clothes confirmed this.

Everyone's face showed a happy look, as if they were asleep.

But when I got closer, I found that their hearts had long since disappeared, and even their bodies were extremely cold.

That is, they were dead in the night.

At this moment, Zhao Hongde found Zhao Xuzhang on the side.

His face was pale and cold, his expression was distorted, and there was a large hole in his heart. Every place where the bright red blood was soaked had been dried at this time, and the blood was jet black.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongde was so frightened that he couldn't even speak, just froze in place, looking at everything in front of him in horror.

"Your Majesty!" Seeing the scene in front of him, Kuang Shiheng immediately ran forward and cried bitterly: "Your Majesty! What's wrong with you! ”

Kuang Shiheng's cry instantly brought people's thoughts back to their eyes.

What's going on? How could their emperor have died just overnight?

Suddenly, Xue Beinian on the side reprimanded loudly: "Bold Zhao Hongde, the emperor was brutally killed in your mansion, aren't you ready to give everyone a reasonable explanation?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Hongde immediately retorted: "What does this have to do with this city lord!" ”

"The lord of this city only offered a dancing girl to the imperial brother on that night, and the imperial brother did not allow the lord of this city to come near his room at other times! Now that the royal brother has suffered this catastrophe, the lord of this city does not know anything! ”

Hearing this, everyone immediately looked at Zhao Hongde in unison.

It turns out that he has presented a dancing girl to the emperor!

Is the emperor's death related to this dancing girl?

Suddenly, Zhao Hongde rushed behind Rin Ruo in one step, grabbed Dieyi's wrist, and asked viciously: "Did you kill the imperial brother!" Say something! You speak! ”

Zhao Hongde asked menacingly, if he couldn't find the culprit, the blame for the whole thing would fall on his head.

When the time comes, even if he has a hundred mouths, he will not be able to clear his name!

Damn, how can this be?

Faced with Zhao Hongde's sharp questioning. Butterfly Yi was suddenly a little dazed.

She looked at Zhao Hongde with a frightened expression, not knowing what was going on, and she didn't know what he meant by this.

"City Lord Zhao wants to find a scapegoat? That's ridiculous! Rin Ruo looked at Zhao Hongde with a deep smile and said lightly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately looked at Zhao Hongde again.

The scorching eyes saw Zhao Hong's scalp tingling and his body was stunned, why was this trumped-up charge imposed on him!

"Rin Ruo, you'd better get out of the way of this city lord! If you talk nonsense again, the lord of this city will kill you now! Zhao Hongde rebuked angrily.

It's just that his anger is trying to cover up in the eyes of others, and everyone looks at him with complicated eyes, as if they have concluded that he is the murderer of the emperor.

More and more people gathered in the City Lord's Mansion, and the people who were originally waiting outside the City Lord's Mansion came in one after another to find out.

They also wanted to know, why did the emperor not come out for a long time?

It's just that I didn't expect to see such a wonderful scene. They have long been unaccustomed to Zhao Hongde, but he is the city lord, and they have no power and no way to fight against him.

Now that such a thing has happened, they not only do not feel sad, but they feel a little happy.

After speaking, Zhao Hongde tightly choked Dieyi's hand, and said viciously: "You explain clearly to everyone, you are the murderer!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Rin Ruo immediately pulled Dieyi back behind him and slapped Zhao Hongde hard.

"City Lord Zhao also said that she is just a little dancing girl, what ability can she have to kill the emperor! What's more, the secret guards around the emperor are all skilled, how did she avoid these gathered masters! ”

"If she can really defeat the crowd, why would she be willing to be the dancing lady of your city lord's mansion? Why did she cry that night, begging the emperor to let her go? All of this, did City Lord Zhao really not think about it! ”

After listening to Rin Ruo's words, Zhao Hongde was stunned for a moment.

Oh, yes! Those secret guards have been trained by the royal family since they were young, how can they be dealt with by a single woman?

But if it's not her, who else will it be? Who has a grudge against the emperor who wants to put him to death?

The more Zhao Hongde thought about it, the more confused he became, he was already sweating profusely behind him, and even his breathing became rapid.

Suddenly, Zhao Hongde turned his head to look at Kuang Shiheng, as if he had seen a savior, and pleaded hoarsely: "I implore General Kuang to start investigating this matter and find out who is behind this!" ”

Zhao Hongde's voice trembled more and more, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

Fratricidal cannibalism has long been an open royal secret. As the emperor's sibling, he is indeed the object of the most suspicion.

Once he is identified as a person who pretenders the throne, then he is really certain to die!

Hearing Zhao Hong's bitter pleading, Kuang Shiheng suddenly sighed, his life was also picked up from the Ghost Gate.

If the people who hibernated in the beam of the house that day were Kuang Shiheng's subordinates, then Rin Ruo couldn't save his life even if he wanted to!

"City Lord Zhao, although General Ben is very reluctant to believe it, this is a clear fact after all. Of all of them, you are the only one who is qualified to mobilize the Secret Guard, and you are the only one who can get up close and personal with the Emperor. ”

Kuang Shiheng shook his head and said helplessly, his words were full of compassion.

Although the secret guard only follows the emperor alone, he can also obey the emperor's siblings at a critical moment.

The ancestors originally set this rule just to protect the emperor more effectively, but they didn't expect that at a moment, it was the best reason to restrain Zhao Hongde.

If it weren't for his manipulation, how could those secret guards have died quietly and with a serene look on their faces?

Why was the emperor's death impartial and only in the heart? With such strength and technique, only when you are close to the emperor, can you hit the key point with a sword.

Everything points to Zhao Hongde, who is the real murderer.

Seeing Zhao Hong's speechless appearance, Rin Ruo suddenly laughed a little.

He once regarded the lives of the people as if they were mustards, and let hundreds of people die for his small profits. Now, it's finally time for him to pay it back!

Originally, she thought that whenever Zhao Hongde had a little bit of guilt and remorse, she would choose another way to kill people.

But since he has no intention of repenting, then she can only send him to the funeral of those people!
