After a night of fighting, almost all the participants in the Eight Princes' Mansion hung colors, Lin Chunxi and others' clothes were also large and small, and the guards of the palace were killed and wounded no less than 100 people, the Eight Princes' Mansion, which was once known for its luxury and magnificence, had become a broken well and ruins, and the work of cleaning up the battlefield lasted from the second half of yesterday to noon the next day, the bloodstains on the ground were still vivid, all the people who had experienced last night's fighting, each had palpitations, Li Xiaoyao had been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for decades, and had experienced countless battles of all sizes, but he also encountered an assassination of this scale。

When they arrived here, all the people of Shenjian Villa had been evacuated, leaving only dozens of injured prisoners, and dead bodies in one place.

Soon after the people of the patrol battalion arrived at the gate of the Eight Princes' Mansion, they also appeared at the gate of the Eight Princes' Mansion, and the generals who led the team apologized to the Eight Princes, saying that it was too late to hear from the streets, and a number of officials of all sizes had asked the Eight Princes to blame, how could Li Xiaoyao blame them, and signaled them to do business, these people saw that Li Xiaoyao was not embarrassed for them, and they were ready to get busy step by step, some collected evidence, some escorted the prisoners, and the scene became chaotic again. The guards in the palace didn't have a good face for these people patrolling the camp, knowing that they must have come to the palace to make a show after getting the news that the matter had calmed down, but when they saw the prince, they didn't say anything, so they simply didn't feel sorry for these people.

Li Xiaoyao naturally ignored them, and hurriedly arranged for the people in the house to treat the injuries of the guards who were injured last night, and Luo Yifei also joined them, following Zhu Yehong and Zhu Yeqing and others to take care of the wounded. Li Xiaoyao called Lin Chunxi over, and the two walked into the study together, and a special person was arranged to guard the door.

Li Xiaoyao motioned for Lin Chunxi to sit down, and the two drank some water, and then Li Xiaoyao opened his mouth first, "If you hadn't fought with all your strength yesterday, I'm afraid that there would be no living mouth in my mansion, these people actually dared to attack the palace so boldly and openly, it seems that Li Shanyuan was already a little crazy at this time." ”

Lin Chunxi had just recovered from last night's scuffle, and he didn't expect that Li Shanyuan was actually just such a large-scale attack on the mansion of the prince of the dynasty from the Divine Sword Villa, and in this capital, only the Eight Princes' Mansion could be called a thorn in the side of the prince's mansion. What's more, the intervention of Lin Chunxi and others has repeatedly disrupted Li Shanyuan's arrangements and severely damaged the people of Shenjian Villa, but Lin Chunxi still can't figure out why Li Shanyuan is so eager to get rid of the Eight Kings and himself, I'm afraid things are not so simple.

Li Xiaoyao continued, " The matter is definitely not over, the problem of the patrol battalion is also very big, they don't come early or late, but they only came when the battle situation was the result, they came early or late, it is not easy to explain, it seems that they must have gotten the news in advance, the patrol battalion is the army in charge of the security in the capital, but there is such a big thing, they actually treat it like this, indicating that the patrol camp from top to bottom, I am afraid that it has become Li Shanyuan's private army, if this is the case, in addition to the forbidden army in the capital, the largest army armed force has belonged to Li Shanyuan, which is a great threat”。

Lin Chunxi nodded, he had also heard that the total number of forbidden troops in the capital was about 50,000, but they were all stationed in the imperial city, and they would not fight easily, the security and defense of the capital were all responsible for the city defense battalion, and their number was nearly 50,000, in addition to the 5,000 men and horses of the patrol battalion, the attitude of these people was still unclear, but last night there was no patrol battalion team to come to reinforcements, which means that they at least chose ambiguity in terms of attitude, at this critical juncture, no one is willing to express their position easily, Lin Chunxi felt the darkness and coldness of the officialdom。

The reaction of the Yamen of the Criminal Department was the greatest, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department led the officials of all sizes to go straight to the palace as soon as dawn, but the reaction in the palace was still incomprehensible, no matter what they said, the Internal Affairs Office just wouldn't let them in, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department was the oldest in the court, so he would not give him this face, but the eunuch's decree only said that the emperor was unwell, so that the prince would be in charge of everything. Lao Shangshu coldly returned to the Yamen of the Criminal Department with the team, all of which were seen by the officials of the court, a fight last night, was enough to make their hearts tremble, and now the attitude in the palace made them even more chilling, no one dared to say more, for fear that the prince had already controlled the forbidden palace at this time, if things continued to develop, the consequences would be unimaginable, so all the officials of Wu State chose to keep silent almost at the same time, and the dignified Eight Princes' Mansion was attacked, but no one dared to preside over the investigation.

The criminal department Shangshu was angry, and he arranged for people to start the investigation, but he couldn't get any witnesses at all, and the prisoners caught in the Eight Princes' Mansion had been taken away by the city defense camp, and they went to the city defense camp to ask for people, but the city defense camp didn't give them a person, saying that they were being tried, and Shang Shu asked the chief general of the city defense battalion to comment, but they shirked it on the grounds that the main general was no longer in the camp. Last night, the people near the Eight Princes' Mansion didn't dare to say a word, they all knew the seriousness of the matter, there were people in the Eight Princes' Mansion who attacked on such a large scale, and everyone kept silent, no matter how the officials coerced and lured, these people all answered, they were sleeping yesterday and didn't hear anything. These officials were also helpless, and if they were a little more fierce, they almost killed someone, and the officials did not dare to continue to ask.

All this is also expected by the Eighth Prince, who has been in the court for many years, he knows very well what this kind of thing means, and the most important thing at the moment is to get in touch with the palace as soon as possible, because there are still a group of demonic figures in the palace headed by the queen, and the Eighth Princes are very worried that these demonic figures have reached some kind of agreement with Li Shanyuan, if that is the case, the strength in his own hands alone is not enough to fight against the two organizations of the Demon Dao and the Divine Sword Villa at the same time.

In the secret room of the Eight Princes' Mansion, several people in the Divine Sword Villa who were hidden were being secretly interrogated, Lao Li had already sent someone to hide a few people quietly before the arrival of the city defense camp, but no matter how they were interrogated, these people refused to confess anything, although they knew that this was the result, but there was no favorable evidence.
