"His Royal Highness the Prince, it's the ministers who are not doing their best!"

Lian Zhan half-knelt in the hall, his face covered with shame.

Behind him, there were also the governors of the forbidden army of the palace, and the commanders of the guard battalions on duty at the imperial gates, all of whom bowed their heads.

Today, on the way to the prison where the guards of the East Palace escorted the prisoner Xia Cassia Ming to the prison, Xia Cassia Ming and the East Palace Guards, a total of seven people, were assassinated in a remote place in the palace.

None of the seven survived, and the imperial doctor Xia Cassian, who poisoned and killed the prince, was even killed.

But as if killing them was not enough, the bodies of seven people were burned in the fire. The raging fire caused a violent shock in the palace.

The person behind it not only secretly poisoned, but also directly killed Xia Cassia Ming.

This fire is not so much about destroying the evidence of the crime as it is about provoking Li Yunxing.

For a while, not only the East Palace, but also the entire palace were panicked.

Lian Zhan knows that if he can't find out the mastermind behind the scenes at this time, then what awaits him will be pointed out by Qianfu.

"What this palace wants is not for you to ask for guilt, General Lian, what this palace wants is to catch the real murderer!"

Li Yunxing, who was sitting on the dragon chair, looked at the people kneeling with their heads bowed below, his eyes were cold.

In fact, you can faintly smell that there is a bad smell of wine in this hall.

Looking at Zhen Changmao, the commander of the guard who was prostrate on the ground, Li Yunxing was even more angry.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the origin of this assassin is strange, and his methods are extremely cruel and ruthless, I think it is ...... Hiccup......" Captain Zhen Changmao, who was kneeling on Lian Zhan's right side, continued.

It's just that he suddenly burps out of place.

The foul smell in his mouth made everyone present frown unconsciously.

Before the words fell, he received Li Yunxing's cold eyes.

"What? What does the Captain of the Guard mean that this matter is going to be over? ”

Zhen Changmao swallowed his saliva and replied cautiously: "Weichen didn't mean that, just ......"

Hearing Zhen Changmao snorting, Li Yunxing shouted angrily: "Waste! ”

The palace guards seem to be just Praetorian guards to protect the safety of the palace, but they are actually divided into three systems.

It was once under the jurisdiction of Lang Zhongling, mainly to prohibit the army and protect the safety of the capital and Miyagi. In front of the palace, after being beheaded by Li Yunxing because of Lang Zhongling's interference to obstruct the disaster victims from entering the city, Lang Zhongling's military power was handed over to Lian Zhan.

And Zhen Changmao is the guard lieutenant, he is in charge of the palace gate guards, guarding the palace, and has an inescapable responsibility for the day and night patrol police and the inspection of the palace register.

There is also a system, which is the embroidered imperial history hidden behind the imperial power.

The impact of the Assassin incident was significant. If there is no reasonable explanation, not only will Lang Zhongling and the Weiwei Mansion be punished, but more importantly, the face of the royal family will also be damaged.

When Li Yunxing went to retrieve the palace shift duty list, he found that the list had not been filled in for half a month.

Who was patrolling the palace that day, who was on vacation, and who was on night duty could not be checked.

The result is obvious.

Li Yunxing's face became darker and darker, and his eyes flashed with Senhan's murderous intent in his eyes.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is angry."

Zhen Changmao raised his eyes and clenched his fist at Li Yunxing.

"Although the assassination case is tricky, the minister believes that he will be able to find out the mastermind behind the scenes."

Li Yunxing had already sentenced him to death in his heart, how could he just let it go with a headless promise.

Slapping the table on the spot, Li Yunxing roared angrily, "Zhen Changmao, you are in charge of the palace guards, how could someone kill the six people of the forbidden army and still retreat safely?" ”

"Your Majesty, the assassin is secretive, and he can't be identified at all, ...... minister"

Zhen Changmao wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Li Yunxing: "What a sentence about the assassin's mysterious deeds!" Do you want to say that the Martial Emperor's three former forbidden armies are not as strong as an assassin's martial arts? ”

Hearing this, Zhen Changmao, who was kneeling below, had blue tendons on his forehead and clenched his fists.

"Don't dare!" Immediately he fell to his knees, trembling.

Drinking during the day, if it weren't for such a ridiculous thing, Li Yunxing wouldn't know that the commander of the dignified Guard's Mansion was actually drinking and playing cards in the palace.

didn't even know that there was a fire in the palace, Li Yunxing ordered someone to summon him, but he didn't arrive for a long time, and it was only now that it was late.

Not only does he smell of alcohol, but he even walks staggeringly, not to mention investigating and catching the murderer.

"This murderer can commit crimes in the palace in a grand manner, it is simply arrogant and domineering!"

"And you, as the commander of the palace guards, not only don't know anything about the shifts of the forbidden army, but also drink and have fun during the day, do you really think this palace is your town Changmao's house?!"

Li Yunxing scolded sharply, so frightened that the people present fell to the ground one after another, not daring to look up.

"Your Highness spares your life! We-Chen......"

Zhen Changmao pleaded in horror, but Li Yunxing didn't listen to him at all.

"Come on, drag Zhen Changmao down, punish him with twenty rods, and exile him to Lingnan."

"Yes, slave and maid!"

The shrill voice of the eunuch came from outside the hall, and then two eunuchs rushed in from outside the hall and pulled Zhen Changmao out by force.

"The minister is guilty! Please forgive your ministers for their sins! Zhen Changmao struggled to intercede, but was eventually dragged out.

There were bursts of wails outside the hall, and there was silence in the hall, except for Lian Zhan and Li Yunxing, the rest of the people didn't dare to gasp, for fear of annoying the superiors and being angry.

"General Lian, how do you say this matter should be dealt with?"

After a long time, Li Yunxing asked, his tone revealing a little tiredness.

Lian Zhan replied respectfully, "His Royal Highness the Prince, this person can stay in the palace at will, by no means because he can easily climb over the palace wall nearly three zhang high, although this town Changmao has many omissions in patrol arrangements, but after all, the palace is full of people, and it is not easy for thieves to get out safely." ”

Li Yunxing frowned, Lian Zhan meant that the assassin was originally a person in the palace.

It's not that he hasn't thought about this possibility, and even suspects that it is someone close to him, but he denies it every time.

Lian Zhan continued to analyze: "This person is bold and does not hesitate to take the risk of sneaking into the palace to assassinate, obviously he has no fear, since this is the case, he will definitely not be alone." ”

After listening to his analysis, Li Yunxing nodded: "Yes, this person must still have his comrades, but where these comrades are hiding, the palace has not yet found it!" ”

"Wechen is brave and begs His Highness to allow the ministers to seal the palace and send troops to search the entire palace!"

Li Yunxing hesitated slightly, then agreed.

"Okay, this matter is based on what General Lian said, you can do it quickly!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

With that, Lian Zhan stood up, bowed, and then turned to leave.

Outside the palace, Liu Zhongqing naturally also received news that Lian Zhan sent troops to block the palace.

Every blow that can be given to Li Yunxing makes him happy.

I'm afraid that even if Li Yunxing dies, he won't be able to guess who betrayed him.
