Immediately afterwards, someone shouted loudly: "There are assassins, there are assassins, the official has been assassinated!"
This shout was so shocking that everyone immediately became confused, and Shi Miyuan immediately thought of running away.
Among the hundreds of officials, Wei Liaoweng was the first to react. He said loudly: "The official family is in danger. My colleagues, follow me to protect the official family."
After saying that, Wei Liaowen ran towards the direction of the chaotic sound first.
Wei Liaoweng took the lead and was so impressive that Cheng Jue and others didn't care so much and followed closely one by one.
When they arrived at the side hall of Chui Gong Hall, they saw that the place was already in chaos. The little Huangmen and the palace maids were all trembling and their faces were pale. They were running around here. These people could neither leave nor stay.
Not to mention them, even the imperial guards who came to the palace after hearing the news were so frightened that they could not stand firmly on their feet and were trembling.
Waiting for Wei Weng, Zhen Dexiu and the others went in and saw Zhao Yun lying in a pool of blood. He didn't know whether he was dead or alive. There were fragments of vases around him everywhere.
Zhao Yun's personal belongings, Liu Qi, collapsed on the ground, and the ground was wet. It turned out that he was so frightened that he became incontinent.
All the officials were dumbfounded and stunned on the spot. They all felt that the sky was about to fall.
Although the emperor Zhao Yun is a puppet, the puppet emperor is also an emperor, and such a big matter has been made public, and no one can hide it. If we really want to pursue it, and if it is implicated, I don’t know how many people will be killed.

"Water, water,"
Zhao Yun pretended to be unconscious for a while, and finally fell asleep directly at night.
The next day, Zhao Yun woke up and shouted for water. The few Huangmen who were in charge of taking care of him burst into tears of joy and hurriedly ran to report to Empress Dowager Yang.
An imperial physician who was over fifty years old came to Zhao Yun first and took Zhao Yun's pulse.
Seeing that Zhao Yun's pulse was stable, but his body was extremely weak, but his life was safe, the imperial doctor finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The imperial doctor asked Xiao Huangmen to bring warm water. Zhao Yun was very thirsty and drank it all.
"Bring me some food, I'm hungry."
Zhao Yun hadn't eaten anything all day and night, and his stomach was already growling with hunger. He couldn't bear it any longer, so he asked someone to bring him some food.
"The Queen Mother has arrived."
Just as Xiaohuangmen was about to order someone to get it, Queen Mother Yang learned that Zhao Yun was awake and came quickly.
Queen Mother Yang walked to Zhao Yun and asked, "Yun'er, are you okay?"
Zhao Yun shook his head, with an expression that could not hide his fear, and replied: "Mother, the child is fine, but his head hurts a little."
"Did you see clearly who assassinated you yesterday?"
"I didn't see it clearly. The child was anxious at the time. As soon as he entered, someone hit his head. He didn't know anything after that."
Queen Mother Yang breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Zhao Yun answered normally and had clear thinking.
Empress Dowager Yang added: "The assassination of my mother has been handed over to Mr. Shi for investigation and handling, with the assistance of the Ministry of Punishment and the Front Office. I believe the real culprit will be found out soon. Don't worry, Yun'er."
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
After a few words of explanation, Queen Mother Yang went back.
The imperial doctor also wanted to prepare the necessary herbs for Zhao Yun, and he left quickly. There was only Zhao Yun in the room, and there were a few other servants.
Of course, outside the room and in every corner of Funing Palace, the Palace Front Secretary has deployed a lot of extra manpower. If there is any trouble, hundreds of thousands of people can immediately gather, which can be said to be as protective as an iron barrel.
This is not only the case in Funing Hall, but also in the entire palace. Teams of imperial guards in front of the palace, led by Shang Feng, began to investigate everywhere in the palace, hoping to find the assassin and put an end to such a horrific incident as soon as possible.
Zhao Yun looked around the room and saw that these little yellow gatekeepers were all trembling with fear. Upon closer inspection, he found that they didn't recognize them. This was the first time he had seen them.
Obviously, all the former members of the Xiaohuang Clan, including Liu Qi, were arrested as suspects and interrogated.
Zhao Yun sat up, pretending to be scared and leaned against the corner of the bed, wrapping the quilt tightly around himself, for fear that another assassin would try to kill him.
A small yellow doorman held a tray in his hand with a tea cup on it. He boldly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, do you still want to drink water?"
"Go away and close the door."
Zhao Yun looked extremely frightened and yelled so loudly that Xiao Huangmen was so frightened that he dropped the teacup on the ground, splashing tea everywhere.
When Zhao Yun's biological mother, Zhao Quanshi, and his younger brother, Zhao Yurui, heard that Zhao Yun had been assassinated, they were extremely anxious and came to the palace to visit.
However, Empress Dowager Yang sent them back on the pretext that Zhao Yun was unwell and needed to rest.
When such a big event happened in the palace, it was like the sky was falling and the earth was falling. Naturally, the people walking in Lin'an were also affected.
After Zhao Yun was assassinated, the city gates were immediately sealed, and people entering and exiting were strictly checked. Even a curfew, which had not been implemented for more than a hundred years, was implemented at night for the first time for the first time.
In Lin'an City at night, there is no more lively entertainment on the streets, no more people smiling at the door, no more salesmen walking in the streets, only the heavily armed soldiers patrolling and inspecting everywhere.
The sound of the soldiers' armor and leaves clashing together, as well as the neat footsteps, are all impacting everyone's heart, making people tremble with fear.
In such an atmosphere, naturally rumors spread.
Some people say that an official has been assassinated and his life is in danger, and the Song Dynasty is afraid that things will change again.
Some people also say that the officials were dissatisfied with Empress Dowager Yang's control of the government, and her words contradicted Empress Dowager Yang, which made Empress Dowager Yang furious and wanted to establish a new king, so she secretly killed her.
These rumors are not bad, after all, not many people are involved. The most terrible thing is that there is another rumor.
This rumor said that the assassin was a big shot in the imperial court. He mingled among the imperial officials and pretended to go to court. After he succeeded, he sneaked back in the chaos.
This rumor is fatal. It involves all civil and military officials. If anyone wants to take revenge at this time, the consequences can be imagined.
I wonder who is still sleeping now!
In the Cining Hall, Jia Chong was reporting to Empress Dowager Yang. She was furious when she learned that there were rumors flying around, especially that she was suspected of plotting to murder Zhao Yun.
Empress Dowager Yang's face was ashen and she said, "Even ordinary people in this world dare to criticize the Tian family. If you pass on this order, anyone who dares to talk nonsense again will be killed in battle."
"yes."
Jia Chong agreed, and then said: "Your Majesty, someone came to report that the official family has become extremely irritable since he was assassinated. He threw bowls and tables, and closed the windows and doors day and night. He did not dare to see anyone for fear of encountering another assassin.
.”
Empress Dowager Yang laughed contemptuously a few times, her face softened a lot, and said: "After all, he is a boy from the countryside. He has never seen the world, so he is frightened by this small scene."
At this moment, Zhao Yun was naturally unaware of Empress Dowager Yang's contempt for him. With an angry look on his face, he said angrily to the few Huangmen: "Have you caught the assassin? Who is he? Why did he want to assassinate me?"
