Chapter 553 The fifth prince is assassinated

"It doesn't matter! I know the character of my eighth brother! He won't take action without being completely sure! What's more, although he has been operating secretly these years, he does not have military power, which is his biggest shortcoming! At the critical moment, It’s nothing to worry about!”

"Is the prince too optimistic? These guys don't have a fuel-efficient lamp! I think..."

"Okay! You don't need to say more! I know it well! Let's just drink and talk about happy things tonight, and we can talk about other things later!"

Xiang Chong sighed inwardly, it was not a good thing for the fifth prince to be so arrogant.

As everyone knows, their conversation was clearly heard by Cui Mingchong who was hiding outside the door.

He sneered inwardly, with the character of the fifth prince, how dare he laugh at Lin Yun?
He raised his hand to lift the black cloth hanging around his neck, covered half of his face, and walked straight into the hall.

Before the Fifth Prince and Xiang Chong could react, when they heard the footsteps, the Fifth Prince said displeasedly: "How brave, do you understand the rules? Without my order, who let you in..."

As soon as the words came out, he was stunned. Looking at the man in night clothes in front of him, he stood up suddenly and backed away: "Who are you?"

He reached for the agate sword hanging on the wall behind him, trying to defend himself.

Cui Mingchong sneered: "The fifth prince is really good at calculating! He even dares to take advantage of my family's blessing! Don't blame me for being ruthless!"

As he spoke, he took out his bamboo gun and pointed it at the Fifth Prince.

The Fifth Prince suddenly panicked, and he naturally recognized that the weapon in the hands of the assassin in front of him was a bamboo gun.

"Did Fulin'an send you to assassinate this king?"

Cui Mingchong was very smart and didn't explain anymore. With his words just now, Fulin'an had been sold, so he just had to act according to the plan.

Moreover, he did not want to be caught and planned to make a quick decision.

"boom!"

There was an explosion, and the fire snake spurted out from the barrel of the gun. The power was countless times greater than before. The shock caused Cui Mingchong to tear open the tiger's mouth and bleed blood.

The bamboo barrel gun has been scrapped, and the barrel of the gun is blooming like the mouth of a suona.

The fifth prince was shot in the shoulder and fell in a pool of blood, wailing in pain.

From birth to today, it can be said that he has grown up with a silver spoon in his mouth. Even when the heirloom was so tragic, he never said he was hurt. It also made him feel the breath of death for the first time, and he was so scared that he quickly got in. Under the table.

But Xiang Chong had been frightened for a long time and stayed in place.

He is just a counselor, and it is okay to let him make plans and use his scheming skills, but when has he ever experienced this kind of situation?

As for Sun Xing, who was hanging out with the beauty in the house, when he heard the gunfire, his first reaction was to get naked and get under the bed.

As someone who had followed Lin Yun, he knew very well what the loud noise was.

When Cui Mingchong saw that he had succeeded, he turned around and disappeared into the night without saying a word.

Soon, countless guards rushed in.

Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw the fifth prince lying unconscious in a pool of blood.

Xiang Chong reacted and shouted: "Quickly enter the palace and ask the imperial doctor to come over!!"

Everyone was in a panic. Some people went into the palace to ask for the imperial doctor, while others hurriedly carried the fifth prince to the bed to rest.

This night, Prince Guang's Mansion was destined to be a sleepless night.

Here, Lin Yun was still waiting for news in the study, absentmindedly reading under the oil lamp.

At this time, the study door was opened, and Du Sheng hurriedly came in. He was still wearing official uniform. As soon as he came out of the palace, he met the guards of Prince Guang's palace who came into the palace to ask for help, and he learned what happened.

"Oh, Lin Zhongtang! How come you are still in the mood to read after such a big incident!" Lin Yun pretended not to know anything, put down the book in his hand, stood up and asked: "What's wrong? What makes Mr. Du like this? anxious?"

Du Sheng said: "Just half an hour ago, I came out of the palace and met the guards of Prince Guang's Mansion, saying that the fifth prince was attacked at this moment and his life is in danger now!"

Lin Yun cursed in his heart. He clearly asked Cui Ming to attack first. Didn't he understand what it meant? Or did he do it on purpose?

But Lin Yun remained calm and said, "No way! The fifth prince has not offended anyone. Who is so bold as to attack him?"

Du Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Is it Fulin'an?"

Even though he was smart, he never thought that Lin Yun would be the instigator.

After all, Cui Mingchong came here secretly just now, and no one knew about it.

Naturally, Ye Wanqing would not dismantle her husband.

Lin Yun smiled bitterly and said: "What is all this? Why did Fulin'an kill the fifth prince? Is he crazy?"

Du Sheng clasped his fists and said: "Lin Zhongtang, change your official uniform quickly, we will enter the palace immediately. The fifth prince is attacked, I'm afraid something big will happen!"

Lin Yun nodded: "Okay, please wait a moment, Mr. Du!"

After that, Lin Yun turned around and walked out of the study, heading straight to his bedroom.

In the palace, Ye Wanqing was sitting on a chair in the hall drinking tea. When she saw Lin Yun coming back, she said with a smile: "My husband has finished his business? It's getting late, let's rest early! You have to get up early to go to court tomorrow!"

Lin Yun said in a deep voice: "Why don't you rest! Bring the official robes, my husband is going to the palace to face the saint. The fifth prince was attacked just now!"

Ye Wanqing was shocked, covered her mouth, and whispered: "Ms. sir, could it be..."

Lin Yun immediately made a silence gesture, looked outside the door carefully, and whispered: "Don't make any noise about this matter! From now on, I will pretend not to know anything! Do you understand?"

What he asked Cui Mingchong to do this time was equivalent to breaking the news.

Although the fifth prince is not the emperor, he is still a member of the royal family, and he has a lot of troops. He is a prince with real power. If something happens to him, it will definitely shock the government and the public.

Lin Yun has never been afraid of causing trouble and seriously injuring the fifth prince. If he can drag Fulin'an into trouble, it will be worth it.

In his heart, the fifth prince's sacrifice was also called loyalty to the court.

Ye Wanqing nodded, turned around and went into the room to take out the official robe, and helped Lin Yun put it on.

But she was anxious in her heart. Her husband-in-law was too courageous.

The one who sent people to assassinate was Prince Guang, the emperor’s biological brother!
Once exposed, not to mention Lin Yun, it is estimated that the entire Ye family, as well as the Lin family in Fengyang County will be affected, and it is estimated that the Nine Clans will be executed.

Soon, Lin Yun changed into his official robe, walked out quickly, and went directly to the palace with Du Sheng to meet the saint.

In the Royal Study Room of the Imperial Palace.

The emperor paced around the stage with an eager look on his face.

He had already learned about the assassination of his fifth brother. Although he also wanted to take the opportunity to reduce the military power in his hands, he had no time to think about it now.

The emperor knew very well that the assassination of his fifth brother must have been caused by his decision to rectify the officialdom.

At this moment, the Eight Sage Kings and Meng Yuan Fulin'an arrived early, both with their heads down and their own thoughts.

Especially Fulin'an, he was the most panicked now. The person he asked Cui Mingchong to assassinate was Sun Xing, but why was there no news about Sun Xing? Instead, it was the fifth prince who was assassinated.
