Chapter 173 Congratulations, Your Lord Hou is a traitor! 【order】

No one thought that Mao Ji would suddenly shout such a voice, and what Zhu Houzhao said earlier was not really talking about Liang Chu's conspiracy.

In fact, it was more of a method used by Zhu Houzhao to suppress Mao Ji. After all, who made Mao Ji too ungrateful, did not see Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and Li Huan leading the Jinyi Guards into the imperial city, killing Liu Zhong, Gao Changsheng, Liang Chu, etc. Don't you even mention a word about people?

This is why although Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe do not welcome the emperor many times, the emperor has always lived in peace with them.

Even if it was just now that Li Dongyang remonstrated with him mercilessly, it was out of concern for him. No matter how displeased the emperor was, at least he would not feel disgusted with Li Dongyang.

But Mao Ji was different. Regardless of time, he didn't even try to figure out what the emperor was thinking, and he went against the emperor when he came up.

Don't even think about it, the emperor just woke up after being assassinated, and he must be thinking about finding out who murdered him, and Mao Ji was still foolishly confronting the emperor.

Anyway, Mao Ji is also an important minister in the court, just now Zhu Houzhao just wanted to scare Mao Ji, hoping that Mao Ji could restrain himself and stop looking for trouble.

But who knew that Mao Ji would be so unintimidated that such a big thunder would burst out directly.

So Zhu Houzhao, who was not mentally prepared at all, was dumbfounded at the time.

What is this? Isn't this just a guilty conscience.

As for Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe, ten thousand draft horses galloped past them. If eyes could kill, Mao Ji would have been killed countless times.

Such a big case of treason can easily involve a lot of people. Who would have thought that Mao Ji would actually be involved in it. Isn't this courting death?

Do you really think you can survive by jumping out and reporting?At that time, it will be hard to escape the end of ransacking the family.

Li Huan originally wanted to attack Zheng Chen from the Supreme Hospital, but he didn't expect Mao Ji to blew himself up so that Li Huan was stunned.

For a while, the hall was quiet.

Gao Feng, Wei Bin, Luo Xiang, and Zhang Yong looked at Mao Ji strangely.

Mao Ji was stared at by so many people, and he reacted quickly, and then his face turned extremely pale, and his whole body was limp on the ground, and he still didn't understand what a stupid thing he had done.

If he hadn't been frightened by Li Huan's name, and when he heard that the emperor was going to hand him over to Li Huan, he lost his mind for a moment and subconsciously yelled such words, why would he have come to this.

Zhu Houzhao nodded at Li Huan and said, "Li Qing, I leave it to you."

Li Huan shouted loudly towards the outside of the hall: "Come here!"

Soon, Yue Buqun and two Jinyiwei captains strode in. They were also covered in blood, but they bowed solemnly to the emperor, and then saluted Li Huan, "I will see you later." grown ups."

Li Huan nodded slightly, and pointed to Mao Jiyi who was limp on the ground: "Take down this traitor and put him in prison."

Excited expressions appeared on the faces of the two Jinyiwei school lieutenants.

Just looking at Mao Ji's purple robe, he knew that this was definitely a high-ranking official. It had been a long time since Jin Yiwei had handled such a big case.

They thought it would be a dead end to follow Li Huan into the palace this time, after all, they were already mentally prepared when they followed Li Huan.

Seeing that the Son of Heaven is safe and sound now, even his own adults stood beside the Son of Heaven, including Yue Buqun, heaving a sigh of relief.

At this moment, two Jinyiwei school captains stepped forward and set Mao Ji up, dragging him out like a dead dog.

Seeing Mao Ji being dragged away, Zhu Houzhao's expression darkened a lot, and his eyes swept across Zhang Mao, Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and the others: "How I wish this incident was just the behavior of a very few people, but looking at it now It turns out that I am too naive, I don't know whose way this emperor is blocking, and his intentions are so vicious that he wants to put me to death."

Zhang Mao, Yang Tinghe, and Li Dongyang listened to Zhu Houzhao's words, their faces were ashen, sweat poured down like rain, they knelt down in front of Zhu Houzhao and tremblingly said: "I am waiting for the death penalty, I am waiting for the death penalty..."

Seeing Zhang Mao and others pleading guilty again and again, Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly and said: "I will order Li Qing to supervise the case personally, and I also hope that Qing will also strictly investigate the court in Beijing after he returns. The command to kill does not mean that I will not kill people, if they really want to test whether my butcher's knife is good or not, then I will let them understand what it means to be angry when the emperor is angry!"

Instead of going to see Zhang Mao, Yang Tinghe, and Li Dongyang, Zhu Houzhao turned to Li Huan and said, "Li Qing, remember what I said before, you must investigate strictly, and don't let anyone go."

Li Huan nodded at Zhu Houzhao and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best to catch all those who have evil intentions."

Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe looked at each other, opened their mouths, but couldn't say anything in the end.

No matter how worried they were that Li Huan would be implicated in this strict investigation, they couldn't object to the emperor to investigate the case at this time.

That was a big case of treason against the emperor, but if they dared to speak to dissuade the emperor, then the emperor would dare to directly charge them with treason against the party.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao showed a bit of exhaustion on his face, waved his hands at several people and said: "Everyone should go back first, if there is anything, we will talk about it tomorrow morning. I am also tired and want to take a rest. "

Taking a deep breath, Li Dongyang bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon's body. I will take my leave."

Zhang Mao and Yang Tinghe also stood up and bowed to Zhu Houzhao, and then retreated with Li Dongyang.

At this time, Zhu Hou looked at Li Huan and said, "Li Qing's family, the matter of the guards in the palace, you can arrange it. Apart from you, I can't think of anyone else I can rely on."

Li Huan nodded slightly, glanced at Gao Feng, Wei Bin, and Luo Xiang, and they nodded slightly at Li Huan, obviously understanding what Li Huan meant.

After this incident, the custodians will be more careful than anyone else when approaching Zhu Houzhao. As for the matter of the imperial city guards, it is actually not difficult to solve. You just need to investigate carefully and take refuge in these days. Eliminate all those who have killed Di Cheng, and then select a batch to add in.

These imperial city guards are more of a patrolling defense. Generally speaking, even if they can get close to the emperor, they have no chance to threaten the safety of the emperor.

It is the servants and maids who can really threaten the emperor, so if you want to ensure the safety of the emperor, it is best to clean up the servants and maids in the palace.

There are so many servants and maids in the palace, no one knows who these people are suspected of, and who are loyal to the emperor, even if they want to clean it, it will not take a day or two.

Heartbroken, Li Huan said to Zhu Houzhao: "Since Your Majesty is worried about the safety of the palace, then move to the Leopard Room."

Li Huan remembered that in the original history, Zhu Houzhao seldom returned to live in the palace after he built the Leopard House.

But Li Huan believed that Zhu Houzhao had no confidence in the safety of the imperial city.

Everything in the Leopard Room has been handled by Liu Jin and Gu Dayong in the past two years. It can be said that even if the staff in the Leopard Room has eyeliner, it will only be the eyeliner arranged by Liu Jin, Gu Dayong and others.

At least it is not so easy for outsiders to place eyeliner in the palace.

Of course, things are not so absolute, just like this time, when the emperor was assassinated, wasn't it because two of the palace ladies Liu Jin dedicated to the emperor had problems.

Compared with those little servants who entered the palace since childhood, the palace maids were more likely to have problems. If you think about it this way, even the leopard room seems not so safe.

After hearing Li Huan's words, Zhu Houzhao said with joy on his face, "Yes, what Li Qing said is right, I will move into the Leopard Room right away."

Li Huan suddenly said: "Your Majesty can move into the Leopard Room, but the maids in the Leopard Room must be emptied first. Even if it is necessary, Your Majesty will at most select a few reliable court ladies from the Queen Mother and Empress."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help being taken aback when he heard Li Huan say this.

And at this moment, Gao Feng, Qiu Ju, Luo Xiang and others all also advised Zhu Houzhao together: "Your Majesty, the servants and others feel that what Brother Li said is correct. Before they are sure that those maids are indeed all right, there is no problem with your Majesty's side." It’s better not to be approached by outsiders.”

Zhu Houzhao sighed and said, "Forget it, I just listen to you."

Glancing at Li Huan, Zhu Houzhao turned to Li Huan and said, "Li Qing, hurry up and get busy. For such a big case, the sooner you start, the better, especially now that Chen Jiu and Mao Ji are still in hand. Interrogation might be able to dig out those people earlier. It is enough for me to have Gao Feng and them here."

Li Huan nodded slightly. To be honest, Li Huan is not worried about whether the emperor will be attacked again, because he can feel that there are several auras that have been locking them at this moment, but anyone among them If they want to harm the emperor, those strong guards who hide in the dark will definitely come out immediately.

Obviously there are strong men guarding the emperor in the palace, but it is a pity that when Zhu Houzhao was assassinated, these people were too careless, and they never thought that the assassin was actually on the emperor's bed, so how would they guard against it.

Zhu Houzhao ordered Gao Feng and the others to move to the Leopard House. Seeing that Li Huan was about to leave, he suddenly said, "Li Qing, Liu Jin may be guilty, but the crime does not entail death, at least not yet."

Li Huan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "Is your Majesty the kind of villain who waits for revenge? Although the minister and Eunuch Liu have said that they have never dealt with each other, they will not target him on this matter. After confirming that Eunuch Liu did not participate in the murder of His Majesty, I will naturally not target Eunuch Liu."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing when he heard the words: "Who doesn't know that you, Li Huan, are small-minded, and you must take revenge. Revenge doesn't last overnight."

Li Huan couldn't help showing a bit of embarrassment when he heard the words. These were the most rumors about him in the capital. Who would have thought that these had already reached the ears of the emperor, and even the emperor used it to make fun of him.

Li Huan coughed lightly and said: "Slander, what kind of person is this minister, His Majesty is of course very clear, is this the kind of person who must take revenge on you?"

Zhu Houzhao laughed loudly and said, "It doesn't matter what I said, Li Qing should ask other people."

Seeing Li Huan's deflated appearance, Gao Feng, Qiu Ju, Luo Xiang and others couldn't help laughing.

After leaving the Jinglan Palace, the setting sun on the horizon was only the afterglow. It has been almost a day since he led people into the imperial city when the sky was dim.

Yue Buqun and others who were guarding outside the Jinglan Palace saw Li Huan coming out of the Jinglan Palace, all of them showed excited expressions on their faces.

Dozens of people bowed down to Li Huan together: "My subordinates, please refer to Commander-in-Chief."

It turned out that Chen Yao, Meng Hui, Du Guang and others had already known about Li Huan being promoted by the emperor to be the commander of Jinyiwei. Seeing Li Huan now, they greeted Li Huan with both excitement and joy.

Li Huan glanced at the crowd, there were hundreds of people who came with him before, but after several fights, only about half of them survived, and many of them were even wounded.

Taking a deep breath, Li Huan bowed to the crowd and said: "Everyone, thank you Li Huan."

Seeing this, all the people felt proud and bowed down to Li Huan.

Li Huan's eyes fell on the sharp Xiuchun knife on the steps, he stretched out his hand to grab it, and immediately pulled out the Xiuchun knife stuck on the ground, a cold look flashed in his eyes and said: "Everyone, can we still fight?"

"Can, can, can!"

Li Huan laughed and said, "In that case, go out of the palace with me to get someone."

A group of people followed Li Huan away.

Outside the imperial city, Li Huan sent people to the Jinyiwei yamen to inform the Jinyiwei yamen to send people to collect the body of the brother Jinyiwei who died in battle, and the rest followed Li Huan on their horses and galloped away.

prison
The dungeon was extremely dark, and Liu Jin, who had been tortured for a long time, was carried by the prisoner and thrown into the cell. The severe pain all over his body made Liu Jin unable to help but let out a groan.

Such continuous torture, even if Liu Jin had cultivated his internal strength, he would not be able to endure it for a long time. I am afraid that within a day or two, he would be tortured to death by Song Jing, Peng Guang, Geng Li, Xue Yi and others.

Lying on the dark and damp ground, Liu Jin murmured: "Li Huan, Li Huan, can you do it, and when will you come to save our family? As long as you can save our family, our family will never die again. No more trouble for you."

After a while, Liu Jin gritted his teeth and said: "Song Jing, Xue Yi, Peng Guang, you guys are waiting for our family, don't let our family get out alive, otherwise I will let you die without a place to bury you."

It was very quiet in the dungeon, except for Liu Jin's low-pitched cursing, there was no other sound.

It's just that in a cell next door, after Liu Jin had finished tormenting, Song Jing and the others were now facing an old man who was hung in mid-air.

This old man is none other than Jiao Fang who first took refuge in Liu Jin, and even entered the cabinet with Liu Jin's power.

As one of Liu Jin's confidantes, Jiao Fang can be said to be the core of the eunuch party. Liu Jin was unlucky, so he was naturally imprisoned. In comparison, Jiao Fang's treatment was slightly better than Liu Jin's.

But it is also very miserable, nothing more than suffering less torture.

At this moment, Geng Li looked at Jiao Fang and said, "Jiao Fang, are you still unwilling to plead guilty? Did you encourage Liu Jin to murder the emperor?"

Jiao Fang's eyes were full of hatred, she spit at Song Jing and the others and said, "I, Jiao Fang, never do anything to deceive the emperor, if you want to label this old man as a treason, It's just delusional."

Geng Li frowned and said: "Old guy, you are really stubborn. You really think you are still the old Jiaoge old man. Let me tell you, the emperor will not live for a few more days. Once the emperor passes away, you will all follow him." Walk."

Jiao Fang's complexion changed when she heard the words, and she couldn't help shouting: "You are so courageous, you dare to murder the emperor, aren't you afraid of copying your family and exterminating your family, and the nine clans?"

Xue Yi sneered and said: "Who said we murdered the emperor, who would believe that we murdered the emperor, you? It's a pity that you can't live for a few more days."

Jiao Fang opened her eyes angrily and said, "You...you will die badly."

Geng Li directly waved the whip in his hand, slapped Jiao Fang fiercely and said: "Old man, cooperate with us honestly, insist that you colluded with Liu Jin to murder the emperor, wouldn't you suffer less, you have to be so obstinate What. Anyway, in the end, whether you admit it or not, the result will be the same."

Song Jing on the side stroked his beard and said with a faint smile on his face: "Hurry up and prepare the confession, and after he passes out, sign and pledge him, and convict him early, and wait for the news from the palace. , so we can send Liu Jin and the others on their way."

Xue Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, my lord, the confession has already been prepared, and Jiao Fang can sign it at any time."

However, when Fei Hong saw the Son of Heaven waking up, he felt a little worried, and immediately thought of going out of the imperial city to the prison of the Ministry of Justice to send Liu Jin on his way.

However, what Fei Hong didn't expect was that the road he took was the main gate of the imperial city where Li Huan entered.

Not to mention the other palace gates, but this palace gate was completely defended by a group of Beijing soldiers and horses brought by Zhang Mao, even a fly could not get in or out.

When Fei Hong appeared at the palace gate, it was Li Xi who stayed at the palace gate to guard the city gate. Li Xi did not follow into the imperial city, but begged to stay and guard the palace gate.

According to Zhang Mao's instructions, no one is allowed to enter or leave without an order.

So Fei Hong was blocked at the gate of the palace by these Jingying soldiers.

Fei Hong was stopped by several soldiers, even if he revealed his identity, it still had no effect at all, they only cursed Fei Hong angrily.

Because he knew from the soldiers guarding the palace gate that it was Li Xi, Marquis of Fengcheng, who was guarding the palace gate at this moment, so Fei Hong couldn't help standing at the gate of the palace and shouting angrily at the outside: "Li Xi, Li Xi, what are you doing?" Come see me soon."

After all, Li Xi is also the Marquis of Fengcheng, when was he called by his first and last name so loudly, even if he met the current elder, the other party still wanted to call him Marquis of Fengcheng.

Li Xi was obviously annoyed by Fei Hong's yelling and calling him by name. In front of so many soldiers from the Beijing camp, wouldn't Li Xi want to lose face?
With a bit of anger, Li Xi appeared in Fei Hong's sight.

When he saw Li Xi, Fei Hong's eyes lit up, and he yelled at Fei Hong unceremoniously: "Li Xi, hurry up and let these people under your command open the palace gate and let me out of the palace."

Li Xi glanced at Fei Hong lightly, shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, I have obeyed the old Duke's order to guard the palace gate here and not let anyone in or out. Please go back, Mr. Fei. Unless it is you It can bring the old Duke’s warrant or His Majesty’s imperial decree.”

Fei Hong couldn't help but change his face when he heard the words, he pointed at Li Xi angrily and said, "Li Xi, you are so courageous, do you know that I..."

Before Fei Hong could finish speaking, Li Xi sneered and said, "Of course I know who you are, but I have already said that without the order of the Duke or His Majesty, even the elder of the present court can't think of himself. Enter and exit this palace gate."

Seeing that Li Xi was not allowed to enter, Fei Hong made it clear that he refused to let him out of the palace, Fei Hong gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, very good, Marquis Fengcheng, I remember you."

After finishing speaking, Fei Hong didn't bother with Li Xi any more. Li Xi decided that he would not open the palace gate, so he had no choice but to change the palace gate to leave the palace if he had time.

This time Fei Hong came to another palace gate, fortunately the guards at the palace gate were Gao Changsheng's subordinates, saw Fei Hong, opened the palace gates for Fei Hong one by one, let Fei Hong out of the palace.

It's just that after Fei Hong's tossing, half a day passed like this, and when Fei Hong rushed all the way to the prison of the Ministry of Justice, the sky was already dark.

He strode towards the prison of the Ministry of Justice, and immediately saw a group of soldiers and horses guarding the entrance of the prison. These soldiers and horses were specially dispatched from the Beijing camp to defend the prison to prevent the remnants of Liu Jin's party from coming to rob the prison.

After all, Liu Jin once had power over the world at any rate, and he also had a lot of capable people and strangers under his command. Although most of those people had fallen and scattered after Liu Jin was taken down, there were still people who were loyal to Liu Jin. in ah.

In order to look good on Liu Jin, these people even dispatched the Beijing Army and Ma Dajun, so it can be seen that these people are afraid of Liu Jin.

A hundred household officials looked at Fei Hong and subconsciously wanted to stop him, but when he saw Fei Hongliang's seal, he immediately let him go and let Fei Hong enter the prison.

As a trusted general under Feng Hai, Marquis of Changxing, Feng Ming of Hundred Households was Feng Hai's personal soldier, and was arranged by Feng Hai into the Beijing camp to lead a hundred households.

And what Fei Hong was holding was the seal of Marquis Changxing. Feng Ming was naturally very familiar with Marquis Changxing's seal, and he recognized it at a glance.

Those who can hold the seal of their master are naturally not ordinary people, so although they don't know what Fei Hong's identity is, Feng Ming didn't even ask, and let him go directly.

Walking into the sky prison, the officials in charge of the sky prison soon greeted him.

Compared with Feng Ming, an official of a hundred households, who is unfamiliar with the civil service system, the official who manages the prison is very familiar with the official robes.

When he saw Fei Hong walking over in a red and purple robe, he greeted him with a smile on his face and said, "Your Excellency is here, I wonder if there is any business for you?"

Fei Hong glanced at the officer indifferently and said, "My official, Fei Hong, let me ask you, are the officials in charge of hearing Liu Jin's case from the Third Division Yamen here?"

Hearing Fei Hong's name, the officials couldn't help being surprised. This person is quite remarkable. It is said that he is one of the future elders in the pavilion, so he said even more courteously: "Master Song, Mr. Song and the others are currently in the prison. The prisoners are being interrogated. Do you always want to see them, the next officer will take you there right now."

Fei Hong frowned, glanced at the official, looked around, took out a letter from his cuff, and said, "Go and hand this letter to Song Jing immediately, and tell him to follow the instructions in the letter." Do what you say."

The official was stunned for a moment, seeing that Fei Hong didn't intend to enter the dungeon, and after realizing it, he quickly said respectfully: "I understand."

After saying that, Fei Hong turned around and left.

The official looked at Fei Hong's back, then looked at the letter in his hand, and immediately ran into the dungeon to deliver the letter to Fei Hong.

On the long street, Li Huan, surrounded by dozens of blood-stained Jin Yiwei captains, galloped on his horse and headed straight for the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

From Li Dongyang and the others, Li Huan has learned that Liu Jin, Jiao Fang and others are being held in the sky prison. Originally, Li Huan planned to seal off the imperial hospital first, but in order to prevent any accidents, Li Huan decided to First go to the sky prison, bring Liu Jin and others out and transfer them to the imperial prison.

Otherwise, Li Huan was really worried that once the news spread that the emperor had woken up, someone would rush to kill Liu Jin.

Who made Liu Jin offend too many people in the past few years, and I don't know how many people wished to kill Liu Jin.

In the past, many people were sure that Liu Jin would definitely die, and there was no possibility of turning over again, so they didn't mind seeing Liu Jin suffer so much and finally die miserably, but if they saw that Liu Jin was likely to turn over, then Liu Jin's life would be real. It's dangerous.

"Jin Yiwei, he is from Jin Yiwei, everyone, run away!"

In the morning, Li Huan led people on the long street, and killed the soldiers and horses of the five cities in front of many people in the capital, and beheaded the commanders of the soldiers and horses together.

The corpse was left on the long street for a long time before Zhang Mao sent someone to clean it up. That scene was seen by many people.

So Li Huan's fierce reputation became famous again in the capital, and naturally, thanks to Li Huan, Jin Yiwei also became famous again.

Seeing Jin Yiwei galloping wildly now, the people of the capital are not blind, let alone fools, so naturally they ran away immediately.

Jin Yiwei has changed his low-key style since Li Huan was added as an official. Although the limelight has not been so strong in the past two years, the news from Fujian not long ago left the people in the capital dumbfounded. They only suspected that it was rumor.

No one would believe that Li Huan killed so many officials and even hundreds of scholars in Fuzhou at once, but after seeing Li Huan kill the soldiers and horses of the five cities like chopping melons and vegetables, everyone believed it. And there was a heartfelt awe of Jin Yiwei and Li Huan.

Originally, there were quite a few people on the long street, but Li Huan and the others couldn't move faster even if they wanted to.

But I don't know who yelled that, and soon the whole long street was filled with Li Huan's shouts, accompanied by the sound of horseshoes, the long street became extremely smooth, and there were hardly a few people in sight at a glance Even if they could see them, they all hid in the corners and by the side of the street, for fear of being targeted by Li Huan and others.

Li Huan didn't pay attention to these, and he drove his horse to run wildly, and his speed increased all of a sudden.

At this time, Song Jing, who was watching Jiao Fang, who had been whipped and passed out, being marked on the plea with his hand by the jailer in the sky prison, suddenly frowned and looked at the official who came over.

Naturally, the official noticed Song Jing's gaze, nodded and bowed, stepped forward with a flattering face and handed the secret letter Fei Hong gave him to Song Jing, saying: "Master Fei, this is sent by the subordinate officials. He said You'll know what to do when you see it."

Song Jing waved his hand when he heard the words, the officials naturally retreated cautiously, glanced at it before leaving, and saw Jiao Fang covered in blood, extremely miserable, and couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

A good elder, he became a prisoner in the blink of an eye, and even suffered such torture.

Song Jing opened the secret letter, only glanced at it, and stood up straight away, ignoring the injuries on his body, and said angrily, "Damn it, damn it, I'm going to wait for something big if Li Huan ruins it!"

Xue Yi, Peng Guang and the others couldn't help looking at Song Jing.

Geng Li stood beside Song Jing, subconsciously supported Song Jing and said, "My lord, what happened?"

Song Jing's face was livid and said: "The news sent by Master Fei, the letter said that Li Huan rushed back from Fujian to the capital for some reason, and brought Jin Yiwei's people into the palace, killing Yu Yu who blocked him along the way. Not only that, but his commander Fan Gang, Bo Changning Bo Gao Changsheng, Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi Liu Zhong, Wenyuan Pavilion University scholar Liang Chu, and the most terrible thing is that His Majesty has been awakened by Li Huan."

"How is this possible? How could Li Huan appear in the capital?"

"How could this be? Isn't Your Majesty bound to die? Why was he suddenly awakened by Li Huan?"

Peng Guang said in a flustered face: "What to do, this is what to do. If I am found out, it will be a capital crime of treason."

Song Jing snorted coldly and said, "Why panic? Unless we say it ourselves, how many people will know what we are doing. The most important thing for the current plan is to kill Liu Jin and Jiao Fang."

Thinking of these days, they were overjoyed and unintentionally leaked some words in front of Jiao Fang and Liu Jin. Although Jiao Fang and the others might not know what was going on, once they escaped, they would calm down and combine the news of the emperor's assassination. , they will inevitably have doubts about it.

At this moment, murderous intent flashed across the eyes of several people.

Kill, must be killed, even if it is to keep secret, they must kill Liu Jin and others as soon as possible.

Song Jing took a deep breath and said to the others, "What are you all doing in a daze, why don't you go to work quickly."

After a few people reacted, they got up quickly and prepared to kill Liu Jin, Jiao Fang, Liu Yu, Cao Yuan, Zhang Cai and other core members of the eunuch party.

Song Jing suddenly shouted: "Remember, don't make it so obvious that they committed suicide in fear of crime. Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to interrogate the three criminals and all the prisoners will die."

Xue Yi, Geng Li and the others nodded at Song Jing and said, "Your Majesty is still considerate."

At this moment, Li Huan, who came on horseback, rode on the horse, and saw the prison of the Ministry of punishment from a distance.

The Heaven Prison of the Ministry of Punishment is located in a remote location, and many of the people living around it are poor people. Relatively speaking, there are many fewer high-ranking officials and nobles here.

Dozens of Jinyiwei came roaring forward on their horses. The movement was so loud that it alarmed the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp stationed at the edge of the prison early on.

Chief Qian Xu Ying is Changxing Marquis Feng Hai's confidant, it is Xu Ying who leads a thousand soldiers and horses to defend the prison and not allow anyone to approach and take Liu Jin away.

At this moment, Xu Ying was wearing armor, with one hand on the handle of the knife at his waist, frowning as he looked at Jin Yiwei who was roaring towards him.

Seeing Li Huan and the others riding on the horse, Xu Ying couldn't help but frowned, and immediately shouted in a deep voice, "Be on guard!"

With a swish, the knives and guns were unsheathed, and these Jingying soldiers immediately took a defensive posture.

Seeing this scene, Li Huan couldn't help frowning.

Seeing that his subordinates made defenses, Xu Ying said loudly to Li Huan: "Who is coming, the sky is firmly guarded, and unauthorized entry is strictly prohibited."

Li Huan drove forward, looked at Xu Ying and said, "I, Li Huan, commander of Jinyiwei, came here to interrogate Liu Jin, Jiao Fang and other criminals by the emperor's order, so hurry up and get out of the way."

Hearing Li Huan's words, Xu Ying couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and soon realized that she took a step back subconsciously, staring at Li Huan vigilantly and said: "Bold, the emperor was assassinated and unconscious, how dare you falsely preach the imperial decree? Tell me, what are your intentions?"

Feng Ming directly drew his sword in his hand, and led a team of soldiers to guard Xu Ying, staring at Li Huan warily and said, "My lord, be careful, I heard that Li Huan is a murderous maniac, I think he must be Liu Jin's accomplice. Fan came here to rob the prison by falsely spreading the will of the emperor."

Only a few people knew about the news that the emperor had woken up. It was impossible for Xu Ying and Feng Ming to know about it. With their identities, such news was out of their reach.

The order they received came from Feng Hai, Marquis of Changxing. Feng Hai ordered them to guard the sky prison, so they would carry out Feng Hai's order and not let anyone enter the sky prison.

What's more, Li Huan is such a vicious person, so it is not unusual to be regarded as a person who came here to rob the prison.

Li Huan frowned when he heard the words, and looked at the soldiers of the Beijing camp who locked him with bows and crossbows. Li Huan took a deep breath and said, "Here is the seal of the emperor with him. Do you want to disobey the holy order?"

In order to make it easier for Li Huan to handle the case, Zhu Houzhao directly handed over his personal seal token to Li Huan. Obviously they don't know each other at all.

Xu Ying just glanced at it and then sneered and said, "It's really funny, you can pass off a seal as a token of the emperor, if it's that simple, can it still be called the token of the emperor? .”

As he spoke, Xu Ying shouted loudly: "Everyone be on guard."

Li Huan looked at Xu Ying, snorted coldly and said, "Who is your superior, let him come to see me."

After all, Li Huan didn't want to kill these low-level soldiers. After all, many soldiers simply obeyed orders.

Hearing this, Xu Ying sneered and said, "My lord is the Marquis of Changxing, and you can see him whenever you want. Since I don't want to take down Liu Jin's remnants of Liu Jin, get out of here, or I will kill you when I lose patience. Take it and throw it into the prison, and accompany Liu Jin, the eunuch."

"Hahaha, Mr. Qian is right! Our Marquis can also be seen by him. Without the protection of the emperor, what is he, Li Huan?"

From the dialogue between the two, it can be seen that the two must be the confidantes of Marquis Changxing, otherwise it is absolutely impossible to know so much.

A cold light flashed in Li Huan's eyes and said: "If that's the case, then it's no wonder Li."

While speaking, Li Huan shouted: "Yue Buqun, take care of yourselves."

As soon as the words fell, Li Huan jumped up, and the Xiuchun knife in his hand cut across the void and slashed towards Xu Ying, President Qian.

Xu Ying didn't know the news that Li Huan had killed several ministers in a row. After all, the prison was so heavy that few people were willing to approach, let alone chat with these soldiers.

The result can be imagined, for Li Huan's sudden assassin, Xu Ying was not prepared at all. Li Huan cut off his head with a single knife, and then turned the blade, and directly slapped Feng Ming, the hundred household official, to the ground. .

The blade touched Feng Ming's head, the blade cut through the skin, blood flowed, Feng Ming screamed in fright, and begged for mercy loudly.

Even if the soldiers in the surrounding area aimed at Li Huan with their crossbows, they didn't have time to react. When they came to their senses, Feng Ming was shouting, which made these low-level soldiers lose their backbone.

Seeing this, Li Huan nodded secretly, as expected, as long as the leader is killed and the one who is afraid of death is left, these soldiers will not run away violently.

"Let them all lay down their weapons."

Feng Ming almost cried out, "Put down your weapon, put down your weapon for me."

The soldiers all around look at me, I look at you, especially when the Jinyiwei around is staring at them, weapons are their only reliance, let them put down their weapons at this time, I naturally feel a thousand 1 unwilling.

Suddenly, Feng Ming yelled: "I am Chang Xinghou's personal soldier, you murderous talents, do you want to find death?"

These soldiers finally put down their weapons.

With a wave of Li Huan's hand, Chen Yao, Du Guang and others rushed forward and swept the weapons aside, and then stared at the soldiers warily.

Li Huan said to Meng Hui: "Tie this man up, and remember it for me. After Liu Jin and others are taken away, let's go visit this Marquis of Changxing."

Meng Hui's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and excitedly tied up Feng Ming, whose complexion changed drastically, and said: "We haven't caught the dignified Lord yet, but this time, my lord, I must let my subordinates have a good time."

Li Huan said with a sneer: "What's the point of arresting people, even if you go to the Hou's mansion to search the house, it's not impossible."

Hearing Li Huan's words, Feng Ming, who had just been tied up, couldn't help but his complexion changed, his body softened, and he looked at Li Huan in horror and said, "You..."

Meng Hui flipped his hand and slapped Feng Ming's face and said, "What are you, you really think His Majesty is unconscious, so that you can know that His Majesty is awake now, and our lord is now the commander of Jinyiwei. Ordered to capture the traitor who murdered the emperor."

Feng Ming opened his eyes wide and stared blankly at Meng Hui, as if he couldn't believe Meng Hui's words.

Meng Hui patted Feng Ming's swollen face in the blink of an eye and smiled, "Congratulations, your Lord Hou is a traitor, this time something has happened."

Feng Ming stared straight at the words and passed out on the spot.

Li Huan strode towards the prison at this time.

As soon as he entered the sky prison, he saw a few vicious prisoners holding a ruler and smashing at Li Huan, cursing angrily: "Master Song Jing said that no one is allowed to enter the sky prison, trespassers Kill without mercy!"

Li Huan's complexion changed involuntarily. Facing these menacing prisoners, the Xiuchun knife in his hand directly slashed across the void, leaving a shadow of the knife.

A few rulers were falling on Li Huan's body, it's a pity that the force was not even enough to tickle Li Huan, but the prisoners fell to the ground one by one.

After stepping over the corpses of several people, Li Huan walked along the long and narrow passage to the depths of the dungeon, and muttered softly: "Liu Jin, I hope you are alive enough."

From what the jailer said just now, Li Huan understood one thing, that is, the news may have been leaked, and he is afraid that someone is killing people to silence them right now.

As for who leaked the news, Li Huan can guess who it is no matter how much he turns his mind.

He had seen Yang Tinghe and the others before, but Fei Hong was missing. Needless to say, if there were no accidents, the person who leaked the news must be Fei Hong.

But Li Huan didn't think too much at the moment, whether Liu Jin was alive or dead, he always had to see, just in case it was too late.
