The last three kingdoms

Chapter 568 Who is the Murderer
But to Sima Yan's disappointment, Jin's palace did not hold on for more than an hour in the end, and the powerful attack power of the forbidden army made this mob vulnerable.

In the arrow confrontation between the two sides, the well-trained imperial army gained an overwhelming advantage. Thousands of feathered arrows were thrown onto the palace wall, forming a dense arrow net like weaving rain, covering the entire The palace walls are covered into its death radius.

The defenders on the palace wall suffered heavy casualties and retreated steadily. Facing the imposing offensive of the forbidden army, they had almost no power to fight back. After several rounds of tentative attacks, the forbidden army tried their best to attack, and the defense of the entire palace wall On the verge of collapse, several city walls have been breached by the imperial army, and the two sides launched a final hand-to-hand battle on the palace wall.

"Bombing!" There was a loud noise, under the repeated attacks of the rushing cars, the overwhelmed palace gate was already crumbling, and finally fell down with a bang, and many people standing behind the gate in the palace were smashed by the two gates It became a meatloaf, bloody and bloody.

The imperial army poured into the Jin Palace like a tide, unstoppable.

Jia Chong's eyes were straight. He had deduced the outcome of the incident countless times, but he never expected it to end in this way. The fall of the palace gate meant the final collapse of the Yan Party's forces. Now they don't know what to expect. What is their ultimate fate.

"Stop resisting, disarm and surrender!" Sima Yan gave the order with an extremely painful expression.

After the palace gate is lost, there is no point in continuing to resist. There are many palaces in the palace of King Jin, but in the end it will also become a battlefield for killing. Fighting desperately, the final result will definitely be the destruction of the entire army. In the meantime, Sima Yan still made a painful choice.

Of course, this was something Sima Yan was extremely reluctant to do. In the face of absolute power, Sima Yan still had no strength to resist.In response to this crisis, Sima Yan asked himself that there was no failure. The decision not to mourn was the result of Sima Yan's determination to fight for power and profit. Regarding his behavior, Sima Yan did not regret it at all. The only thing that made him regret was He misunderstood this younger brother who usually seemed to be indecisive. He never imagined that Sima You acted so resolutely and decisively in this incident. The most powerful gesture has drawn a successful conclusion to this Yanyou dispute.

With the mixed feelings of being the king and the loser, Sima Yan ordered all to surrender.Even if he didn't give the order, many civil servants would have already led the crowd to surrender. Not only were they powerless, what they lacked most was the perseverance and courage of a military commander to fight to the end. When they saw that the situation was unfavorable, they took the initiative one after another. surrender.

The fighting stopped soon, Sima Yan raised his head, and it was Liu Yin who caught his eyes.

Liu Yin smiled slightly and said, "My lord, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon. Life is really impermanent."

Sima Yan's eyes could almost burst into flames. One could tell that this time his younger brother changed from a harmless, gentle and kind-hearted young man to a sinister, vicious, ruthless politician, probably because of the instigation of the person in front of him. , it would not be the situation today.

In addition, at the wedding banquet in the He Mansion yesterday, Liu Yin blatantly intercepted Princess Yiyang, making Sima Yan gnash his teeth with hatred for Liu Yin, but at this moment, Sima Yan felt humiliated. In the matter, now that he was over his head, Sima Yan naturally resented him. He glanced at Liu Yin with a sinister look, but did not speak.

Liu Yin didn't take it seriously, and ordered the forbidden army to detain the officials of the Jin Palace and the defenders separately. Naturally, the officials of the Yan Party were treated differently. As for Sima Yan, Sima You had to be asked to make a decision.

Soon, Sima You appeared in front of Sima Yan. It was the first time that the two brothers faced each other in such a capacity, and they were quite awkward with each other.

"Where is the father?" Sima You asked.

"It's in the bedroom."

"Then he..." Sima You's expression was a little hesitant, and there was still a trace of hope in his heart.

"He has passed away." Sima Yan said calmly, there is no point in continuing to hide it now, Sima You only needs to go inside, and he will naturally find Sima Zhao's body.

Although he had been mentally prepared, Sima You was still shocked when he heard Sima Yan say it himself, and waved his hand sadly, ordering Sima Yan to be taken away.

"Mr. Wen, let's put everything else aside for now. I want to go to pay my respects to my father." Sima You said solemnly.

"Naturally, it should be so. A ruler who governs the world with filial piety will be supported by all people. Sima Yan will not be mourned in secret, and he will use the body of King Jin as a bargaining chip. Such a disgraceful act will be cast aside by the world." Liu Yin said.

Sima You and Liu Yin went straight to the bedroom. At this moment, the imperial army has taken over the guards of the bedroom, but they dare not enter the bedroom.

Inside the bedroom, the curtains were drooping, Sima Zhao was lying flat on the couch, his eyes closed tightly, and he was lifeless.

Sima You knelt down in front of the couch, weeping: "Father, the child is not filial, and I couldn't see you for the last time..." The voice was mournful and mournful, tears gushed like a spring, he couldn't speak, and almost cried.

Liu Yin stared at Sima Zhao, this was the first time he had met this generation of heroes at such a close distance, but at this moment Sima Zhao was already a cold corpse with no life left. All-powerful situation is gone in a blink of an eye.

Suddenly, Liu Yin noticed that there seemed to be some bruises on Sima Zhao's neck, and he couldn't help thinking about it. It stands to reason that if Sima Zhao died naturally, those bruises would not be there, but Sima Zhao was dressed very well. It was neat and tidy, and the neckline was completely blocked. Out of curiosity, Liu Yin couldn't help walking up and tearing off his collar.

"Mr. Wen, you..." Sima You found Liu Yin's abnormal behavior, and he was shocked and angry. People at that time were very concerned about the remains of their parents and relatives. Liu Yin's behavior was undoubtedly a kind of blasphemy. Liu Yin is very respectful, but it doesn't mean that Liu Yin can turn over the body at will.

Liu Yin said with a calm expression: "Your Majesty, take a look. If my guess is correct, His Royal Highness Prince Jin did not pass away normally, but was deliberately murdered."

Sima You showed an incredulous expression, and followed Liu Yin's instructions to look over. He could also clearly see two obvious bruises on Sima Zhao's neck and shoulders, which looked like strangulation marks caused by human hands. Moreover, near the collarbone, you can also see the scars of broken skin. Everything clearly points to the fact that Sima Zhao died of murder.
