Chapter 45: Replacement
Seeing that Chu Qingqing had left, Zhao Feng also followed, leaving only the officials of the Manchu Dynasty with wide eyes.
Although they were also terrified by the assassination of officials, they could not find anyone to turn to for help.
Empress Chu Qingqing was a puppet emperor with no real power in their eyes, so it was naturally impossible to provide them with protection.
The Queen Mother and Fan Shicheng both refused to admit that they had killed someone, but in the eyes of those officials, most of the incident was caused by friction between their two parties.
"Humph!"
Fan Shicheng glared at the Queen Mother, and then threw off his sleeves and left after a cold snort, and the Queen Mother looked at him unceremoniously throwing his face at herself, and the Queen Mother was also furious.
"Old thing!"
endured all the way to Cining Palace, the Queen Mother couldn't help but have a seizure, kicked over the table in the hall, and all kinds of objects on the table fell to the ground.
"Now that old thing is really getting bolder! In the court, he dared to show his face to the mourning family! ”
The palace people didn't dare to step forward when they saw her so angry, and Red Sleeves and Qingying also felt a deep headache, but they still stepped forward to comfort,
"Mother, calm down first."
Qing Ying spoke, "Although many of our men died, in the same way, Fan Shicheng's people also died. ”
"His people died when they died, what does it have to do with the mourning family?! The mourning family hasn't bothered him yet, and he still wants to push this matter on the mourning family!? ”
The Queen Mother was furious, and Red Sleeves also hurriedly helped, "Niangniang, think about it carefully, this time Niangniang's subordinates and Fan Shicheng's subordinates died together, will it ...... Someone else is the murderer? ”
These words woke up the Queen Mother all of a sudden, and after being stunned for a moment, a figure appeared in her mind.
"Could it be that Zhao Feng did it!?"
The Queen Mother was fierce, recalling the scene when Zhao Feng broke in with red sleeves that day, and she was inexplicably a little frightened.
But Zhao Feng is only one person, and he killed more than a dozen officials overnight, I'm afraid he also lacks skills, right?
"According to the report from Hu Fengxiang's side in Yongle Palace, Zhao Feng has not had any abnormal behavior in the past few months."
Qing Ying immediately said, "I said that I didn't do anything at all except to accompany the empress to obey the book, but to play in the imperial garden." ”
The Queen Mother was also a little puzzled when she heard this, if the suspicion of Yongle Palace was also ruled out, who else could do it?
"Now that the situation is unknown, let those people below be careful."
The Queen Mother had a gloomy face, "If the person behind the scenes still dares to make a move, he must be captured alive and tortured, and he must be forced to find out who instigated it!" ”
"Yes!"
Zhao Feng followed Chu Qingqing back to Yongle Palace, there were no outsiders, Chu Qingqing hurriedly asked,
"Otomo, did you kill those people?"
"Nature."
Zhao Feng smiled slightly, "It's the assassination force that the minions mentioned to Your Majesty before, but there is no chance for Your Majesty to meet with them." ”
Hearing this, Chu Qingqing's eyes were a little fanatical, although she was not a militant, but when she thought that Zhao Feng had cultivated such a powerful team for her, her heart was excited.
"You really won't let me down!"
Chu Qingqing's face was full of joy, "Then what are you going to do next?" ”
"Seize military power for Your Majesty."
After a pillar of incense, Zhao Feng came to the Yongwu Palace.
Pushing open the door, there were only nine Tan Zhen people from the first squad in the hall.
"Why are you here?"
Seeing Zhao Feng asking, Gao Hua rushed to answer happily,
"Back to Manager Zhao, the task of our first squad was completed last night!"
Zhao Feng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard the words, it really deserved to be the first team led by Tan Zhen, and the efficiency of work was indeed not to be said.
"Because my subordinates speculated that after tonight, the garrison of those officials would be strengthened, and the assassination would be more difficult, so they took advantage of last night to complete the task directly."
Tan Zhen reported simply, "It's opportunistic." ”
"It doesn't count."
Zhao Feng said lightly, "I said, no matter the means, just look at the result, as long as the task is completed." ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Feng glanced at the white cloth wrapped on Zhou Wen's arm, and frowned.
"My subordinates have some underestimated enemies, and they were given a moment by the one who joined the army."
Zhou Wen explained with a little embarrassment, "Next time, your subordinates must be careful!" ”
"Pay attention to yourself."
Zhao Feng didn't criticize anything, after all, this was their first time on a mission, and it was normal to suffer a small injury.
But......
Zhao Feng's gaze returned to Tan Zhen, and he was really more and more satisfied with this person.
The next new task may be given to him.
After the large-scale assassination of officials last night, the whole capital was in turmoil, and everyone was in danger.
The dead people in the family are busy crying and grabbing the ground for funerals, and those who survived last night are panicking to send more people to their respective houses, not daring to go out, for fear of accidentally losing their lives.
Peng Jie, the captain of the third squad, hid in the shadows, and couldn't help but have a headache when he saw that the guards had obviously become stricter.
"Captain, who are the people who are so fast, killing a dozen of them in one night!?"
The team members below couldn't help but complain, "Now that these guys are all soldiers, we can't find a chance to start!" ”
"Who else could it be."
Peng Jie smiled bitterly, "Eighty percent of them were done by a team of people, and we only killed one person, and more than a dozen people died at once last night, I'm afraid that a team has already completed the task." ”
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be a little shocked, although the strength of the team was obvious to all, but they didn't expect them to be so fast.
"Don't think about it so much, the guards will be more and more strict after that."
Peng Jie said, "Keep staring and look for an opportunity to start, we don't have much time, we have to complete Manager Zhao's task within three days!" ”
"Yes!"
In the blink of an eye, three days had arrived.
Over the past three days, news of the deaths of various officials has been coming in.
The invisible Scythe of Death swept through the entire capital, no more, no less, and forty-five officials died in this assassination operation.
Three days later, Zhao Feng came to the Yongwu Hall as promised.
The nine squads were all there, and although a large number of people had hung up some prizes, fortunately not a single one was lost.
This is a bit beyond Zhao Feng's expectations.
"Your mission is well accomplished, and each team has completed the task I set."
Zhao Feng said, "But it's not perfect, there are still people who are injured, I will give you two days of vacation to recuperate and reflect on what is missing in this operation." ”
"Yes!"
His gaze stayed on Tan Zhen again, and Zhao Feng spoke,
"Tan Zhen come here, I have something to say to you alone."
