In the early morning, the waning moon still hung high.
Everyone at the west gate of Dashang Imperial City had already left, leaving only a few corpses on the ground. It didn't take long for the city guards to come and take them away.
It's not yet dawn, but there are already many people on the streets of Dashang Imperial City. Some of them are city guards patrolling and searching. They all have cautious expressions on their faces. Many people died last night, and many of them were in the city.
Dashang has high-ranking ministers, and some are cultivators from outside. Dashang is a big city. There are many people coming and going on weekdays, and then there are also local residents. The sudden killings made these people feel that Dashang
It seems that things are not going to be peaceful anymore. The smell of blood in the air is undoubtedly telling them that things are going to change here.
Not long after, Dashang suddenly announced that the city was closed. All four city gates in four directions were closed, no one could go out, and no one could come in. A large number of soldiers were hoarded at the city gates and walls.
Every time the wind blows, it tells that something happened to Dashang.
The closure of the city was an order given by the eldest prince Yan Zhenming.
The loss of manpower last night made Yan Zhenming a little anxious. He didn't know if anyone would continue to attack the ministers of his lineage. If there were any more losses, it would undoubtedly be a big deal for him.
It was a blow, so as soon as it dawned, Yan Zhenming issued an order to the city guards to close the city.
In the fifth prince's house, Yan Zhenyun has already begun discussing with his staff, the master uncle of Tiandao Sect and several ministers close to him about what happened last night. It has only been a few hours since the incident happened, and Yan Zhenyun has just
It was a shame to collect the information.
"Last night, seven of the officials of the eldest prince's line were killed, including the Minister of War. These people who killed people in the past had very high levels of cultivation, at least far beyond the level of the guards in their palace. It is said that
There was not even a strong man in the Great Dao Stage who could stop him, and finally at the gate of the West City, it seemed that the deputy master of the Taixu Palace was seriously injured..."
"The key thing is that more than one person saw it with his own eyes. Many of them were wearing similar clothes to Tiandaomen. They were obviously coming for us."
"One more thing, several people in the house died. The place of death was outside the courtyard of a minister's house. A total of five people were killed. Before I clicked on the people in the house, I found that six were missing but there were only five bodies.
The other one is missing. I don’t know who did it. Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be the people who assassinated the eldest prince. After all, we didn’t suffer any losses here last night. Only these five people were killed.”
Yan Zhenyun frowned and asked, "Where did he die?"
"Beside the side door of Zhao Haicheng's home, there was obviously a fight before his death..."
"Who is the missing person?"
"Bao Ping, a deputy captain in the guard."
Yan Zhenyun closed his eyes and said slowly: "Don't think about it. The person who killed them should be the eldest prince. If I am not mistaken, the missing one should have been sent to his house by now."
Needless to say, Yan Zhenyun had already realized at this time that what happened yesterday seemed to be aimed at the eldest prince, but in fact, he was trapped behind his back, and a tight button was placed on his head to attack the eldest prince first.
A hat that strikes first.
Several targets and people from Tiandao Sect have also seen the problem, and someone asked: "We should explain the situation to the eldest prince, and we shouldn't take the blame."
Yan Zhenyun sighed, shook his head and said: "It's too late, it's useless. First of all, whether the guard is dead or alive, he must have been taken to the eldest prince's house. This is the evidence. Another point,
Even if the eldest prince knows that this is a trap and I am taking the blame, he will still choose not to believe it even if he believes it!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all realized, yes, the eldest prince already had the evidence that Yan Zhenyun sent people to kill people, so he can definitely assume that Yan Zhenyun did this, and he happened to borrow the donkey from Poxia,
Then he started to accuse the fifth prince and even took action. He could defeat an opponent so easily, so why not? This completely reduced the number of people who could compete with him for the throne.
This is pretending to be confused while pretending to understand.
"Then who wanted to do this? It not only framed you but also weakened the eldest prince's strength. This kind of killing two birds with one stone is only good for two people, the third prince and Yan Ruyu. There is no news about the eldest princess yet, so it's not like the three
Did the prince send someone to do it?"
Yan Zhenyun shook his head and said: "The possibility of it being him is very small. He originally had some ability to compete for the throne, but recently the three princes have all stopped and have not made any moves, so I guess it won't be him, but I think
I don’t understand the reason why the other party did this, even if he framed me, and the eldest prince must be vigilant, isn’t this tantamount to alerting the enemy, unless..."
Yan Zhenyun's analysis was gradually being drawn out into a clear line. As he was stroking it, Yan Zhenyun became vaguely aware of another layer of meaning behind it.
"It's a lie to frame us, and it's a lie to weaken the eldest prince." Yan Zhenyun said in shock: "No, no, everything we thought before was wrong. The other party's intention is to make the eldest prince mistakenly think that I want to
If you want to take advantage of the opportunity by taking action in advance, with Yan Zhenming’s suspicious temper, he will definitely not be able to hold it back..."
After a while, the fifth prince's house was in a turmoil, and he began to mobilize all his forces to prevent the changes that might be about to happen today.
At the same time, Yan Zhenming's family had already interrogated the captured guard. The guard admitted without much resistance that he was leading people to kill Lord Zhao Haicheng. Yan Zhenming almost thought that the fifth prince was going to take action in advance.
Of course, some people in Yan Zhenming's staff team also expressed whether this was a frame-up method, but Yan Zhenming became really suspicious and felt that he had to err on the side of trusting what he believed.
"The person who attacked last night was very powerful. The technique he used was unheard of. It has no similarity with the Tiandao Sect's techniques that I know." Liang Jingyu's face was a little pale. He had suffered a lot from the fight with the opponent last night.
He was injured a lot, and at the same time he also realized that the man didn't seem to have the intention to fight for a long time, otherwise it was hard to say whether he would be able to stand here.
Yan Zhenming said with twinkling eyes: "The fifth prince should not have this strength. If it's not him, who could it be?"
