Chen Longzhi was the first to react. He shouted and then stepped forward, guarding Zhao Yun tightly behind him. Xia You and Gao Shi were not slow either. They also stepped forward and joined Chen Longzhi.
, guarding Zhao Yun closely behind him.
At this time, a man jumped out of the well. He was wet all over, but he had a strong figure and a resolute face. As soon as he came out, he slashed at Zhao Yun with a knife.
Xia You was shocked, glared angrily, and shouted: "Bold rebel, seeking death."
After saying that, Xia You stepped forward to fight with him with his sword. At the same time, Chen Longzhi protected Zhao Yun and said: "Your Majesty, leave quickly."
Zhao Yun didn't know what was going on at this time. He didn't know the enemy or ourselves, so naturally he couldn't act as a hero. So under the protection of Chen Longzhi, Gao Shi, and the imperial guard in front of the palace, he hurriedly boarded the imperial chariot and headed towards the palace.
As for the officials, they were all shocked. Seeing that Zhao Yun had left, they also fled and left in a hurry.
The people were so frightened that they turned around and ran away. Some even fell to the ground and made a mess.
When Zhao Yun entered Lin'an City, Chen Longzhi hurriedly said to Zhao Yun: "Your Majesty, please issue an order to close the city gates and search the entire city for the assassins' accomplices."
At this moment, Zhao Yun was covering his face with the handkerchief Li Xuan gave him. The blood stains on the handkerchief were bright red, indicating that he was obviously seriously injured.
"No."
Zhao Yun rejected Chen Longzhi's suggestion. Zhao Yun said: "There are millions of soldiers and civilians in Lin'an. Once the city gate is closed, the whole city will be blocked, and people will be panicked. Someone will take the opportunity to cause chaos, and the gain will not be worth the loss."
Chen Long became anxious and said: "Your Majesty, your safety is the most important. Even if there is chaos in the city and there is a large army to suppress it, nothing will happen."
"No need, if the assassin has accomplices, can he still carry out assassinations?"
"Your Majesty, if we let them escape, I'm afraid there will be endless trouble in the future."
"So what happens in the future? Am I afraid of it?"
Facing the resolute and fearless Zhao Yun, Chen Longzhi had no choice but to give up his advice.
However, at this moment, it is inevitable that a large number of guards, government officials, patrolmen, and patrolmen will begin to maintain order in the city and secretly search for suspicious persons.
As for the gates of each city, they are strictly controlled. Even if a fly wants to fly out, it must be identified as male or female.
The people saw that suddenly the entire Lin'an city was in a state of uproar. There were many soldiers and government officials checking and standing guard in every street. Those who looked suspicious were immediately arrested.
The people were now frightened, so they took their wives and children and ran home, then closed the doors and windows tightly, not daring to come out.
Imperial Palace, Funing Hall, while Zhao Yun was receiving treatment from the medical officer, he said to Gao Shi: "Gao Shi, the matter of my assassination has been hidden from the harem for the time being. Beauty Xie is pregnant, and my mother is getting older.
Whoever dares to chew his tongue without being stimulated will be killed with a stick."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Gao Shi agreed and immediately went down to give instructions.
Soon, a group of civil and military ministers came to visit Zhao Yun. They all knew that Zhao Yun was assassinated and was injured. If the wound was poisonous, what could happen?
In order to calm people's hearts and prevent them from thinking wildly, Zhao Yun met them in the main hall of Funing Hall.
When all the officials saw that Zhao Yun was safe and sound, they all felt relieved, and then they began to criticize the person behind the scenes, with words and writings, and they just wanted to have the person behind the scenes cramped and skinned.
At this moment, Xia You came back.
I saw Xia You kneeling on one knee, clasping his fists and saying: "Your Majesty, the assassin has been arrested. The villagers of Wujiazhuang are under serious suspicion. All the villagers have been banned at home. I have searched the area within ten miles of Wujiazhuang, but found nothing."
Assassins’ accomplices, please let Your Majesty decide.”
It is strange to say that assassinating the emperor is such an important and dangerous matter, but this time there is only one assassin, and this assassin is not an outsider. Under the pressure of Xia You and the imperial guards, he finally
He was unable to resist and was successfully subdued after suffering multiple stab wounds.
Xia You then controlled the villagers of Wujiazhuang. After all, the incident happened in Wujiazhuang, and it was inevitable that there would be no one in Wujiazhuang who could cooperate with others.
After hearing this, Zhao Yun said: "Continue to investigate, and the dry well site must be protected."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Then Zhao Yun said again: "The Ministry of Punishment, Yushitai, Dali Temple, and the three departments will review it. I want to see the results of the review as soon as possible."
Zhu Zhu, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Li Zongmian, the Imperial Censor, and Jiang Wanli, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, immediately went out to receive the order. They all said in unison: "My lord, take the order."
"Okay, I'm tired. You guys should go back. Please remember not to make any groundless speculations. If it makes people panic, I won't be able to spare him."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take my leave."
All the officials left with mixed emotions. Everyone's face was full of sadness and seriousness. They were worried about this incident. They didn't know how it would end. If it got out of control and went to jail, I don't know how many heads it would cost in the end.
Heads fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Zhao Yun maintained as much restraint as possible from beginning to end. This was clearly felt by all the officials, which also made them feel a little relieved.
The other officials dispersed, and Zhu Zhu, Li Zongmian, and Jiang Wanli went straight to the prison to immediately ascertain whether the assassin was alive or dead and whether his wounds were life-threatening.
After checking and confirming that the assassin's life was safe, Zhu Zhu told the jailer: "This person is a key criminal in the assassination of an official family. You must watch him carefully. If anything goes wrong, his family will be confiscated and his family will be destroyed."
"Yes, yes, I understand, Minister, please rest assured."
The guards' foreheads were covered with sweat and their backs were soaked. They looked at the assassin as if they were their ancestors, fearing that something might happen to him on their hands.
This night, many people are destined to be unable to sleep. It is difficult for anyone to stay away from such a big event.
Because of Zhao Yun's instructions, all the officials in the imperial court did not dare to speak nonsense to the outside world, and the city was full of soldiers and government officials standing guard to search for people, and the city gates were ten times tighter than usual. Such strange behavior quickly spread rumors among the people.
Flying all over the sky.
Some people say that the official was assassinated, and the extent of his injuries is unknown, but he is feared for his life.
Some people say that there is a big boss in the DPRK who is plotting rebellion, and his accomplices are being arrested now.
Some people even said that Empress Dowager Yang was ambitious and wanted to unite with the courtiers to force the palace in an attempt to regain power.
These rumors are spread by people who have noses and eyes. Considering the current situation, people inexplicably believe them five or six times.
Faced with such a situation, Zuo Prime Minister Yuan Shao was extremely anxious. He hurriedly asked to see Zhao Yun and said: "Your Majesty, rumors are spreading everywhere outside, and people are panicked. They are afraid that something will happen if this continues.
Your Majesty is now safe and well, and the court is handling it in an orderly manner. I believe that the matter has passed the most dangerous period, so I recommend that you issue a notice to calm the people, truthfully inform the people of your Majesty's assassination, and state that you have instructed the Ministry of Punishment, the Yushitai, and the three departments of Dali Temple.
Only by adhering to the public trial and never killing anyone unjustly can the people's hearts be stabilized."
