Chapter 448: Kyoto Murder
After the team returned to Kyoto, Jiang Hongyu returned to Fuzhong.
Because of his confession with Li Chengwen, he was like a pins and needles after returning to the house. Although he had made it clear that he would be loyal to King Jin, he also knew that his betrayal of King Rui would soon spread.
Following Li Tianqi for many years, he knows Li Tianqi's personality very well, and as soon as he returned to the mansion, Jiang Hongyu asked his wife to pack his luggage and bring valuables, and prepared to send the two mothers and sons out of Kyoto at night and let them return to the old mansion.
It's just that Jiang Hongyu didn't expect that King Rui's revenge would come so quickly, and before he could leave, a group of masked killers were ushered in in Jiang's mansion.
Each of these killers is very skilled, and the guards of the Jiang Mansion are not the same enemy compared to these people.
At this time, Jiang Fu was already covered with corpses and rivers of blood, his children and his wife had already died under the slaughter of these killers, and he himself was already scarred under the protection of several personal guards.
Seeing that the killers in front of him who regarded human life as grass mustard were approaching, Jiang Hongyu already felt a sense of despair in his heart.
In the end, under the slaughter of these killers, dozens of people from the Jiang Mansion, including his subordinates, were killed, and the Jiang Mansion was tragically wiped out overnight.
It's just that when Jiang Hongyu died, he wouldn't have thought that these killers were actually not sent by Li Tianqi, but people sent by Li Chengwen, whom he took the initiative to be loyal to.
Because of Li Tianqi's behavior, Li Chengwen knew that if Li Tianqi was really made the crown prince and inherited the unification in the future, Li Tianqi would inevitably attack him.
Rather than sit and wait to be killed, it is better to take the initiative to attack, Jiang Hongyu is Li Tianqi's person This is not a secret in the imperial court, Li Tianqi colluded with the former dynasty to intercept and kill them, this matter is Li Chengwen's biggest bargaining chip against Li Tianqi.
The reason why Li Chengwen sent people to kill Jiang Hongyu was to confirm the charge of Li Tianqi colluding with the remnants of the previous dynasty.
As for how Jiang Hongyu should make his father believe in Li Tianqi's actions after his death, Li Chengwen has already thought about this.
After the destruction of the Jiang Mansion, this group of killers disguised by the guards of the Jin Palace's Mansion quickly evacuated, and shortly after everyone evacuated, Xiao Tianci also appeared in front of the gate of the Jiang Mansion.
As soon as he came to the gate, Xiao Tianci sensed that something was wrong, the entire Jiang Mansion was pitch black, and as a killer, he was also very sensitive to the breath of blood, and at this moment he clearly felt the bloody breath in the air.
Frowning, Xiao Tianci stepped forward and pushed open the door, and then walked into the mansion, and when he saw the corpses all over the ground in the Jiang mansion, Xiao Tianci's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
After some investigation, he also found that the whole door of the Jiang Mansion had been wiped out, and he realized that something was wrong, and he did not stay in the Jiang Mansion for too long, and hurriedly returned to the Ruiwang Mansion to report the matter to Li Tianqi.
When Li Tianqi learned that the Jiang Mansion was destroyed, he was also extremely shocked, but at the same time as the shock, Li Tianqi was a little afraid in his heart.
Was it the hand of the people of Jianyulou?
This was the first thing Li Tianqi thought of in his heart, but soon, this inference was rejected by him, if it was really a person from Jianyulou, then Gong Qing would not come to his mansion.
But if it weren't for Jian Yulou, who would it be?
Could it be that Jiang Hongyu offended someone, so he attracted the disaster of killing?
But no matter what, Jiang Hongyu's death is a good thing for him, and someone solves this hidden danger for him, so why not do it?
The night passed quickly.
In the early morning of the next day, the news of the destruction of Chiang's mansion spread throughout Kyoto, and the people of Kyoto were terrified when they heard the news.
Jiang Hongyu is a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, although he is not a high-ranking and powerful existence in the court, but he is also a third-grade official, and the whole family of a third-grade official was wiped out, and the nature of this matter can be imagined.
At this time, the Jinluan Palace was extremely noisy, and when Li Deyi learned that the palace of the ministers of the court and the central government was directly destroyed overnight, Li Deyi was furious, and immediately dispatched out the Criminal Department, Qintianjian, Dali Temple, and even the prison he secretly cultivated, all of them went out to investigate this matter.
"Your Majesty, the Sanpin Minister was destroyed, this matter is related to the face of our Dawu Dynasty, no matter who this thief is, we must give an explanation to the Jiang family."
"Your Majesty, what Xiang Ye said is good, but what we have to do at the moment is to appease the people, the Sanpin Minister was destroyed, and this matter has caused panic among the people of Kyoto."
……
The civil and military officials were gossiping, and the meaning of their words was all to show the seriousness of this matter.
On the dragon chair, Li Deyi listened to the remarks of the ministers below, his brows furrowed.
Now, the marriage between the Dawu Dynasty and the Southern Qi Dynasty is imminent, but the joy in his heart that was originally in a good mood has been swept away because of this matter.
It doesn't bode well that something like this is happening on the eve of the wedding.
Also, who is the person who destroyed the Jiang family?
After all, this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and he can unknowingly obliterate dozens of people in the Jiang Mansion without alarming the patrol army, which is enough to show the horror of the people behind the scenes.
Today, Li Deyi convened hundreds of civil and military officials to discuss this matter, but looking at the situation in the Jinluan Palace, Li Deyi knew that today I am afraid that there will be no result from the discussion.
"Brother Huang, I don't know what Brother Huang thinks of this matter?"
His eyes swept over the ministers, and Li Deyi's gaze suddenly fell on Li Jingyan, who didn't say a word, and then asked.
Listening to Li Deyi's inquiry, Li Jingyan frowned, and then stepped forward slowly.
"Your Majesty, being able to destroy the Jiang Mansion without knowing it, and at the same time not alarming the patrol army, in Weichen's opinion, this is enough to explain a situation, that is, the person behind the scenes must be from Kyoto, and to be able to cultivate such a group of terrifying killers, this person's status in Kyoto is not low."
"Although ordinary businessmen and the like will hire people with strong martial arts as guards, they can easily destroy the Jiang Mansion, not to mention whether these businessmen have such courage or not, it is impossible to do it with those guards. So ......"
Speaking of this, Li Jingyan listened.
But Li Deyi heard the meaning of Li Jingyan's words.
"What does the imperial brother mean is that the mastermind behind this matter is likely to be someone from the imperial court? Or is it someone in the Golden Luan Hall today? ”
As soon as Li Deyi's voice fell, the ministers of the entire Jinluan Palace suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and they didn't dare to breathe.
Although Li Jingyan is just guessing, judging from what he said, this is not impossible.
At this moment, Li Deyi's brows furrowed more and more deeply, if the fall of the Jiang Mansion was really done by the people of the imperial court, then this matter may not be so simple......
