My diary of transcendence from the heavens

Chapter 69 68. The fall of a wealthy family and the integrity of a gentleman

Late that night, Zhao Xuanqi found a safe place to hide, and it was not until dawn the next day that he dared to go to the capital government office to report the crime.

The officials in the yamen broke out in cold sweat.

This was the first time they had heard of such a big case.

He even dared to assassinate the number one scholar appointed by His Majesty. How audacious!
His Majesty conferred the title of No. [-] Scholar on the same day. That same night, the No. [-] Scholar was assassinated at home. I have never heard of such an appalling incident!

If the number one scholar hadn't been of high moral character and used his integrity to force the assassin away, he might have been dead long ago!

"The number one scholar has a noble integrity, and he used his own integrity to drive away the vicious assassin. This is a model for people in the world to read!" the official praised.

The officials in charge of government affairs were already sweating when such a major case occurred under their command, and they immediately sent out a large group of people to protect Zhao Xuanqi personally.

Even if Zhao Xuanqi goes to the toilet to defecate, someone must surround the toilet to protect him closely, for fear that Zhao Xuanqi will accidentally burp and his majesty will blame him.

Then people were sent to Zhao Xuanqi's home to check for clues.

Of course there are no clues.

The assassin had already fled.

The government officials had no choice but to clean up the corpses of the guards first.

Zhao Xuanqi had previously paid for eight or nine patrol guards. When they were found, their bodies were already rigor mortis.

The government officials were disposing of the corpses at the front, and Zhao Xuanqi was also watching.

He found that these corpses had poisonous needles on them. They were probably poisoned by assassins. He didn't know what kind of poison it was. The poison was so strong. He was really a master of assassination!
In addition, there were five or six bodies of men in the room outside the courtyard. These men were members of the imperial court. They were probably sent by the emperor to protect Zhao Xuanqi.

That day, a group of them finished patrolling. After getting tired, they hid in the house chatting and drinking, and were poisoned to death.

Another group of people patrolling in the dark were also eliminated one by one by the assassin using the cover of darkness.

"Can the martial arts in this world allow someone to beat ten with bare hands?"

"Master Zhuangyuan, you are worrying too much. No amount of martial arts can allow a person to reach this level. Ten people swarm you. No matter how strong you are, you can only fall to the ground."

The official explained: "The reason why the assassin was able to kill so many people was not only because of his high martial arts skills, but more importantly, he was good at assassination techniques. He could use poisonous needles, poisonous gases and various assassination methods with great proficiency. Coupled with the cover-up of the night and the carelessness of the guards, we did not expect that someone would dare to assassinate the champion. It was a combination of various circumstances that enabled us to complete the assassination."

"I will send someone to protect you this time. We are already on guard. No matter how powerful the assassin is, he will not be able to harm you in the slightest."

"I see."

Only then did Zhao Xuanqi fully understand martial arts.

In the final analysis, this is an ancient feudal world, where martial arts does not have the legendary extraordinary power, and there is a lot of peace of mind.

But it was precisely because of this that he admired Bai Ren's martial arts and strength. He was only less than 1.5 meters tall, but he was able to quietly deal with so many strong guards. It was really impressive.

It is worthy of being the number one assassin in the world.

The assassination of the number one scholar was also brought to the attention of the court. After Emperor Jingming heard about this incident, he fell into a rage. He dismissed many senior officials that day and announced that he would thoroughly investigate the matter.

For a time, people in the capital were in panic, and from time to time, guards in uniform came to search for assassins. During this period, even the officials were much clearer, and not a single gangster on the street dared to come out.

After that, a large number of elite soldiers were sent to personally protect Zhao Xuanqi, patrolling the surrounding area at all times to protect Zhao Xuanqi's safety.

It can be seen that Emperor Jingming attached great importance to Zhao Xuanqi.

The princes in the court were also shocked. It can be seen that His Majesty really wants to keep this No. [-] scholar. The importance of this No. [-] scholar is not important in His Majesty's heart.

The Jin Yiwei kept searching, but the assassin had already escaped, and no trace could be found to find out who sent the assassin.

The days passed smoothly like this for more than half a month.

Until a month later, a certain court elder died suddenly and without warning, and was assassinated at home.

Three or four days later, a high-ranking official who had close communication with the court elder was also poisoned to death at home because of drinking water.

The assassin has not yet been brought to justice.

Two important court officials died in a row, and they were assassinated. Even in this tense situation, the matter attracted the attention of Jin Yiwei.Afterwards, they continued to search deeply and sent a large number of people to explore the information. Only then did they discover that these two families were actually involved in the assassination of Zhao Xuanqi, and there were even three or four other families who were also involved.

The assassins that day were jointly planned by several of them, and there seemed to be the shadow of the feudal king behind them. His intentions were extremely vicious, and the one he sent was the best assassin in the world.

Apart from this assassin, they did not send any other personnel, nor did they use any other means.

The purpose is to be secretive and not to leave any traces.

I thought I could hide it from His Majesty and the whole world.

But what these wealthy families didn't expect was that the number one assassin in the world would rather have his wife and children die than take action against the current number one scholar from a poor background. Instead, he was impressed by the number one scholar's courage and unexpectedly killed one of them. people were assassinated.

This action was like a bright light, attracting Jin Yiwei's attention, and only then did Jin Yiwei successfully discover the dirty incidents of these wealthy families.

Otherwise, no one will be able to catch clues to the conspiracy of these wealthy families.

When the incident was brought to Emperor Jingming's side, Emperor Jingming was laughed out of anger. The man he had awarded as the number one scholar that day was assassinated before even a day had passed. So couldn't you wait any longer?

Okay, okay, the knife in my hand can’t wait any longer!
Emperor Jingming used thunderous means to send a large number of soldiers to surround these wealthy families who had lived for more than 300 years, and issued an order to kill the Nine Clans.

The vassal king could not find out who was behind it, so he could only attack these families.

That night, rivers of blood flowed in the square of the capital, and the severed heads could pile up into a hill.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Emperor Jingming took the opportunity to dismiss many people and replaced his confidants in the court. To this, other civil and military officials did not have any objection.

You dare to assassinate the current number one scholar today.

Will you dare to assassinate the emperor tomorrow?
The emperor conferred the title of No. [-] Scholar on that day, and before even a day had passed, he dared to send someone to assassinate him that night. It was simply audacious and shocking.

If it were other mistakes, other senior officials and colleagues would still dare to provide guarantees, but if something like this touches the emperor's bottom line, they would not dare to touch the bad luck at all.

Some civil and military officials even suspected that this assassination was too stupid. In addition to the fact that these big clans really hated the poor number one scholar, and the vassal king was pushing it behind the scenes, I am afraid that His Majesty was also secretly pushing it, for the sake of this big man. Action, the water behind is too deep.

But no matter what, from now on, anyone who wants to touch Zhao Xuanqi must consider whether he has enough brains.

After Zhao Xuanqi heard about the assassination.

It was also a big shock.

He never expected that Bai Ren would dare to assassinate two high-ranking officials at this tense moment, and even succeed.

This also allowed the court to discover the wealthy families who were involved in assassinating him behind the scenes!
A dramatic ending.

"The trouble just happened inexplicably."

Zhao Xuanqi also wanted to take revenge in the future to avenge the assassination.

It's fine now, there's no need to take revenge, all nine of the enemy's clans are gone.

He had never even seen the faces of the masterminds behind his assassination. It was really puzzling that they fell on the execution ground like this.

When the people in the capital heard about this incident, they were greatly surprised, and even spread various versions of the story, one about the integrity of the number one scholar.

Probably Zhao Zhuangyuan used his own integrity to force back the assassin who came to assassinate him, and directly convinced the vicious assassin. Not only did the assassin not harm Zhao Xuanqi's life, but he was moved to tears, and in turn assassinated the mastermind behind the scenes. .

The fatal crisis was turned into safety in this way.

It is simply unheard of and unimaginable for an assassin to be able to do this. You wouldn't even dare to write it like this!
The integrity of Zhao Xuanqi, the number one scholar, is famous throughout the capital, and countless people talk about it.

Some adapted operas appeared in wine shops, and this story was circulated. The plot became a popular theme and was praised by countless future generations.

At this point, the Jinshi scientific examination came to an end.

In these days, the world has released the results, examination papers for candidates, and examination papers for Jinshi.

The test papers in the scientific examination were circulated all over the world for scholars all over the world to watch and for people all over the world to admire. People all over the world were shocked by Zhao Xuanqi's literary talent and courage, and his articles were spread all over the world.
