378 The Great Tribulation of the Li Mansion
The eldest prince came out to take charge of the government and began to cultivate his power as the next generation of emperors.
However, the three princes have lived in the palace for a long time, and they have won the trust of the emperor, and they have long been tacitly the next prince.
Suddenly, a big prince appeared, although he was a child of a family, but he had not received royal training, how could he be compared to him?
However, the emperor's doting and the queen's favoritism pushed him to the same strength as him, and now that his father is seriously ill, how can he be willing to give up the throne?
There was a surge in the imperial court, and most of the strange things among the people also poured out.
After several ministers of the Imperial City died at home late at night, the entire Imperial City was shrouded in a haze, and the people were even more uneasy.
There are no cicadas chirping and dogs barking in the middle of the night in the imperial city, and dead silence is its eternal theme.
In the Zuo Prime Minister's mansion, there was a sudden exclamation, and then there was chaos.
In this empty and dead imperial city, like a thunderbolt appeared in the world, resounding in everyone's hearts and breaking all the silence.
"The old man is dead......
The Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion was in chaos, and everyone didn't know what was going on.
Hearing this exclamation, everyone rushed to the front yard.
Zhaohua and Li Mingcheng followed.
"Ah......h
"Be careful!" Li Mingcheng pulled Zhaohua away, and hit the cold arrow with his palm, and the skin and flesh opened in an instant.
"Your hands!" Zhaohua has long lost her agility and arrogance in the past, and she is just an ordinary woman at the moment.
A woman who is cared for by her husband.
"I'm fine." Li Mingcheng pulled Zhaohua's hand away and ordered, "Everyone, hurry to the front yard as soon as possible." ”
He stretched out his hand to protect Zhaohua, his eyes glazed, and he scanned the surroundings.
When I arrived at the courtyard where Zuo Xiang lived, there were already pieces of crying inside.
Li Mingcheng tightened his pace, and walked to the bed with everyone open.
There was already a kneeling in the back room.
The family members of the eldest son and the second son have already arrived.
And their parents were lying calmly on the bed, their expressions were very peaceful, their eyes were closed, and there was no trace of abnormality.
"Third brother, you're here!" The eldest son of the Li family stood up first and greeted Li Mingcheng.
"Big brother, father and mother, what is this?"
Grand Master Li smiled miserably and looked at the old man on the bed.
"Father and mother are dead, can't you see it?"
Li Mingcheng nodded, it was true that there was nothing unusual from the outside, and there were no external injuries at all.
"Have you ever heard of a psychic?"
Li Mingcheng used to be a gentleman, and he didn't pay attention to such national affairs at all. It's just that after marrying Princess Zhaohua, Cai'an's family began to be diligent and studious, but he was still very vague about the spiritualist.
Zhaohua was a step behind, and only then did he enter the back room.
Hearing this, he looked at the two people in surprise.
"Big brother is saying that my father and mother were killed by the spiritualists?"
"It seems that Princess Zhaohua knows more."
Zhaohua frowned slightly and explained, "Ting'er, she understands this. ”
The eldest prince looked at Li Mingcheng, and Li Mingcheng explained that Zhaohua was talking about the Nine Princesses.
"Oh, brother and sister don't say it, I forgot that on the Queen Mother's birthday, the show you performed was said to be the masterpiece of the Nine Princesses."
Zhaohua immediately retorted.
"It can't be her!"
The eldest prince of the Li family glanced at him, "My brother and sister are too careful, I don't mean that, since the ninth princess disappeared a few years ago, there is no news yet." ”
"Then the big brother mentioned the spiritualist?"
"I'll go to the palace, you settle everything here, and protect your family!"
When the eldest prince said this, his eyes were cold, looking in the direction of the palace.
Everyone stayed where they were.
However, what he didn't know was that as soon as he left the mansion, the entire Zuo Xiangfu was surrounded.
A large number of fires shot into the house like flowing water.
For a while, the shouts and howls of killing rang out in pieces, and everyone was in a hurry.
Flames burned everywhere throughout the Prime Minister's Mansion, and there was nowhere for everyone to rush through several gates.
However, they were still greeted by rows of bows and arrows.
"Second brother, is there a secret passage at home?"
Li Mingcheng looked at the old, weak, sick and children in this room.
The second son of the Li family is a military general, and he was also stunned when he heard the words, "I don't know, the eldest brother is in charge of everything at home, I am away all the year round, and I finally went home to visit my relatives once, but I encountered such a disaster." ”
However, the second sister-in-law of the Li family stepped forward and said, "Maybe I know where it is." ”
"There is a second sister-in-law Lao leading the way." Li Mingcheng immediately ordered the subordinates present to carry Zuo Xiang and his wife together and walked towards the secret passage.
Fortunately, it was not far away, and everyone reached the location safely after hiding along the way.
"Third brother, you take them to hide and go out for your brother to have a look." As a military general, the second son of the Li family naturally didn't believe that anyone would dare to act so openly against the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion in the imperial city.
"Second brother, can't you see the situation clearly until now? They want to wipe out the entire prime minister's house. ”
Li Mingcheng analyzed, "Such a big thing happened in our house, but no one from the neighbors dared to come out, don't you know why?" This is above someone who came up with my house! ”
"Who?"
Li Mingcheng shook his head, he didn't know anything about the government.
But it's just those two factions of people who come to the left and right.
It's just that he can't understand how his father has never been in line, so how can he be poisoned?
Did things really come to that point?
The assassination cases that occurred a few days ago were only below the level of Beijing officials, but now they have risen to such a level.
Such a thing happened in the dignified Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, if no one in the palace knew about it, it would be impossible.
"Let's take refuge in it first, and then make plans when the eldest brother returns!"
At present, more than 20 people have avoided the secret passage, and they have no power to control the others, so they have closed the entrance.
There were not many crossings in this secret passage, and they had traveled a few feet before they came to a secret room.
Putting Zuo Xiang and his wife down together, the servants around him searched everywhere and found a large amount of food and water inside.
The second lady explained, "This is what my mother once told me, saying that if there is a big disaster at home, and my eldest brother and husband are not there, I will ask me to bring everyone in for refuge. ”
Zhaohua said, "It's still my mother who thinks far-reaching, and the second sister-in-law is a woman, so it's really not easy to be noticed." ”
Li Mingcheng and the second son stood together, and the two muttered for a long time, and finally let the servants continue to scatter to find another exit.
Knowing that this was Li Mingcheng and Zhaohua, they knelt down again to Zuo Xiang, and his wife.
However, after a quarter of an hour, none of the servants who had dispersed returned, and Zhaohua noticed this, so he brought Li Mingcheng to ask him what had happened, and Li Mingcheng felt that it was inappropriate.
"I'm afraid someone has infiltrated."
Before they could react, however, a chuckle was heard outside.
"The two sons are really good at hiding, but it's a pity that you have reached a dead end, how can this be good?"
The man's voice was high-pitched, he was an official in the palace, and behind him were two young men, but unlike ordinary people, they had double eyes.
"Who are you?"
The second son immediately stepped forward to protect the family behind him.
"The one who wants your life!" Apparently he had no intention of speaking to them, and waved his hand as he came up.
The two young men behind him stepped forward, a string of blue flames sealed in their hands, instantly enveloping the entire stone chamber, and they stood outside, not stepping a single step.
"Psychics? Did you kill your father and mother? ”
Li Mingcheng screamed and was about to rush out, but was stopped by Zhaohua.
"Don't go over." This kind of flame does not burn anything, she has seen Xiao Ting use it.
There was an ice coffin in the prison that suppressed evil spirits, which used to contain the corpse of a peach branch, but when Xiao Ting saw it, she completely incinerated the corpse, using this kind of flame, and Xiao Ting warned her that she and Xu Zhen must not get close.
Although she grabbed Li Mingcheng, someone was also enraged and rushed out, but as soon as Fang approached that flame, the whole person gradually disappeared like a smile.
This scene is very terrifying, wherever the body is close to the flames, it dissolves little by little.
"This is Princess Zhaohua?" Hall, the man who played the role of the palace official, chuckled.
Zhaohua didn't bother to pay attention to him at all, although she hadn't seen this person, but her reputation was known to everyone in the palace, and this person put her on the opposite side, which proved that he didn't want to let her go at all.
However, Li Mingcheng seemed to grasp the last straw and said, "Yes, she is a princess, no matter who you are, he is the most favored daughter of the emperor today, do you really want to attack her?" ”
"Li Gongzi is too careful, there is no princess here, let alone Princess Zhaohua, when we arrived, all the people were already dead, and the bodies of the princess and the concubine were not found, and the whereabouts of life and death are unknown!"
His words made it clear that he wanted to destroy the corpse.
"Zhaohua is a princess, whether it is the eldest prince or the third prince, they are their sisters, you are not afraid of your master knowing if you act like this?"
Li Mingcheng was angry, he couldn't believe that the third prince and the eldest prince would make such a decision, after all, Zhaohua was not a threat to their position at all.
"You're all dead, won't anyone know?"
"Oh, by the way, there's one more person who forgot about it."
"Are you waiting for your big brother to come back?"
The hearts of everyone in the Li family sank, and it seemed that the eldest son of Li was also more than lucky.
"Don't worry, your eldest brother will definitely come back, and he will know who you killed for whom, he will avenge you, you can go with confidence."
Li Mingcheng's heart sank, and at the same time he knew that everything tonight was a bureau.
Zuo Xiang has not expressed his attitude, and some people tried to pull him into the gang, but he was refused.
And it represents neutrality, and now there are many neutral cities in the court, which can be regarded as a warning to them.
At the same time, he killed everyone in the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, but left Li Dagongzi alone, so if he knew the truth, he would definitely fall to the other side.
The person who did the game was the real murderer, but everyone in the Li Mansion died, no one knew the truth at all, and the eldest son of the Li family could only be used.
"Even if we all die today, don't rejoice too soon, you must know that there is no impermeable wall in this world!"
