Chapter 1278: Time to close the net
Li Lin was sitting alone in his study at this time, revising his plans. So far, none of the plans had been accomplished, which made him extremely frustrated. He had to start over and revise them, eliminating some unrealistic plans.

Li Lin somewhat regretted concentrating on training his private army. The target was too large. He should have divided them into smaller units and arranged them for training in various farms, and then trained a separate team of about fifty assassins.

The assassins were used to kill Li Ye, and the army was used to take over the government. Alas! I didn't think it through for a while.

At this moment, there was a sound of hurried running outside. The butler came running in like a gust of wind and shouted in the yard: "My Lord, we are surrounded by the inner guards!"

"what!"

Li Lin stood up suddenly and asked in a trembling voice, "How many people are there?"

"There are at least several thousand people!"

"Go tell the leading general that I'm not at home!"

The housekeeper ran away. Li Lin's legs trembled and his heart was in a panic. He turned around and ran into the inner room in a panic. He pushed open the bookshelf, revealing the secret door of the secret room. He went in and put the bookshelf back in place.

The secret room is only about ten square meters, where he usually keeps his treasures and curios, but now it has become his hiding place.

Two thousand internal guards surrounded Li Lin's Yongwang Mansion. The housekeeper waved his hands at the door and shouted, "My prince is not in the mansion, you can't go in!"

A soldier rushed forward and knocked the butler to the ground with one punch. The Inner Guard Lieutenant General waved his hand and said, "Go in and arrest him!"

Hundreds of internal security soldiers rushed into the palace.

There was a commotion in the palace, and more than a dozen of Li Lin's sons and grandsons were escorted out tied up.

But Li Lin was not seen.

General Wang Zhen led his men into Li Lin's study. He looked at the items on the table, touched the teacup, which was still warm, and the pen was still dipped in ink. More importantly, the contents of the plan on the table were absolutely confidential.

He turned around and said "Shh!" to the dozen of his men, and whispered, "He's hiding in the study!"

Everyone was cheered up and immediately went to search separately.

At this time, a soldier discovered something was wrong with the bookshelf. The bookshelf was made of iron, and the books on it were fixed and could not be taken down. He quickly shouted "Shh!" to the crowd, and everyone came forward and surrounded the bookshelf.

Wang Zhen waved his hand, and everyone pushed hard together. The bookshelf was forced open, revealing the secret room door behind it.

The door of the secret room was also made of cast iron, and it was locked from the inside and could not be pushed open.

Wang Zhen kicked the door hard, and it made a dull thud.

"come out!"

Wang Zhen ordered, "If you don't come out, I will pour iron juice on the iron door to shut it. The secret room will be your living coffin!"

"No! I'm coming out."

Li Lin was immediately frightened. If the iron door was welded shut, he would really be buried in the secret room where there was no food or water.

Li Lin opened the iron gate and the inner guards pulled him out.

Wang Zhen quickly confirmed his identity, especially the large black spot birthmark on his left calf. At a glance, Wang Zhen was sure that he was Yong Wang Li Lin, not a fake or a substitute. He immediately winked at the soldiers. The soldiers held Li Lin down, Wang Zhen poured a bottle of poisoned wine into his mouth, and locked him in an empty room. Li Lin was so scared that his soul flew away and he sat on the ground crying.

After a moment, the soldier pushed the door open and saw Prince Yong Li Lin lying on the ground, bleeding from his mouth and nose and dead.

Not only Li Lin, but all his sons and grandsons were poisoned to death, leaving no one alive.

In Fengxian County, after a night of stone chiseling by professional craftsmen, the two-foot-thick door stone was broken, and the passage leading to the burial area of ​​the mausoleum was opened. Qiaoling is a tomb of clothing and honor, and although a lot of wealth was buried with it, it was definitely not like Qianling, where nearly half of the wealth of the Tang Dynasty was buried with it.

The chief was overjoyed, and immediately arranged for a large number of empty boxes to be transported in, and all the burial treasures to be packed and shipped out, a total of 700 large boxes. The bottom of these boxes were equipped with wooden wheels, so they could be easily pulled out with ropes.

Outside Qiaoling, three thousand internal security soldiers gathered from all directions. There were several sentry points inside Qiaoling. The internal security soldiers were not in a hurry and waited patiently for news.

The Internal Security also sent experts to infiltrate and monitor the opponent's actions recently.

The other party has succeeded, but has not yet transported it out.

At this time, large wooden boxes were carried out one after another. Dozens of carts had been prepared in the distance. The warriors loaded the large boxes onto the carts, and the carts then drove out of the cemetery. They rented a large yard nearby, first transported the wealth to the yard, and then transferred it to Chang'an.

Not long after the cart traveled dozens of miles, it was surrounded by the inner guards.

In the open space behind the mausoleum, the large boxes that had been transported out had piled up like a mountain. They had basically finished moving. The warriors were sitting outside waiting, bored. They were waiting for the carts to come back.

At this time, the last two large boxes were dragged out, and the leader shouted, "Don't sit there and do nothing. Bring more people and cover the hole!"

More than a dozen people came up and started filling the secret passage with soil using shovels. This was the best time.

Three flashes of fire suddenly flashed in the woods behind me. They were so fast and fleeting that if I wasn't paying attention, I would basically not see them. But if I kept staring at them, they would be an obvious signal.

At Xie Sen's command, the inner guards surrounded and attacked from all directions. Hundreds of people were sitting on boxes to rest and chat. Suddenly, countless inner guards surrounded them, and thousands of crossbows were pointed at them. These warriors were stunned.

Xie Sen shouted, "Those who surrender will be released and sent home, and those who resist will be killed without mercy!"

Hearing that they would be released and go home if they surrendered, the warriors raised their hands in surrender.

The leading warrior leader's eyes rolled around, and while the soldiers were not paying attention, he turned around and ran wildly. He had not run a few steps before he was knocked to the ground by the inner guards. Several soldiers rushed forward and tied up the leader.

The next morning, Li Ye summoned Li Lin, the Minister of Zongzheng Temple. Li Ye put all the evidence of Li Yu's crimes in front of Li Lin. Li Lin was stunned. After a while, he sighed and said, "To be honest with you, Your Highness, I have also heard some bad rumors. A few days ago, Li Yu came to me and asked me for 300,000 strings of cash. I asked him what he wanted, but he didn't tell me. So I didn't agree to give it to him. I didn't expect him to dig up Qiaoling. He really deserves to die. That is his grandfather's tomb!"

Seeing that Li Lin was shaking with excitement, Li Ye said, "Don't get excited, Your Majesty. I'm afraid things are not what you think. Qiaoling is just a tomb for clothes and hats. The former emperor was Feilong. Don't you know that?"

Li Lin nodded, "Of course I know a little bit, but no matter it is a tomb of clothing and hats or a real tomb, it is his grandfather's tomb, how can he..."

Li Lin was heartbroken. He never expected that his own brother would actually target his grandfather's tomb.

Li Ye said calmly: "He also trained 5,000 assassins in Lantian County and attempted rebellion. This is a serious crime!"

Li Lin was silent for a while, then asked, "How do you plan to deal with him, Your Highness?"
