All the servants in the mansion heard the explosion at the front door and became chaotic. King Zhu Youshu of Germany rushed to the back door, opened the small door in a panic and looked outside.
What he saw was a hundred heavily armed soldiers of the Huben Division.
Zhu Youshu secretly thought that it was over, and now it was hard to fly.
Sure enough, Li Zhi had known about this back door for a long time. He was probably trying to hide it by letting Zhan Kejian and You Yipeng go through the back door. I am afraid that Li Zhi knew everything about the secret discussions he had with Zhan Kejian and You Yipeng this month.
Li Zhi killed people without blinking an eye. He assassinated him twice. Will he let him go? Zhu Youshu felt his body go weak and collapsed to the ground.
The guards seemed to be waiting for Zhu Youshu to fall into the trap. When they saw Zhu Youshu opening the back door, they walked up expressionlessly and tied up Zhu Youshu.

You Yipeng, the leader of the Wenshe, was wearing coarse clothes and wandering around the Jinan market with a servant.
The assassins over at Qianfo Mountain were assassinating Li Zhi. You Yipeng did not dare to stay at home and wait. Instead, he wandered in the market in the south of Jinan City. If the assassination was successful, Li Zhi's personal guards would definitely rush back from the south of the city.
, You Yipeng will know it immediately. On the contrary, if the assassination fails, You Yipeng can immediately leave the city through other city gates and escape south to Zhili before the news of the gate closing reaches other city gates.
After walking out of the house, You Yipeng led his servants around alleys and even walked into dead ends several times, just to check if anyone was following him. In fact, every time he went out this month, You Yipeng had to
After struggling like this, I wanted to find out whether Li Zhi was targeting me.
The answer every time was that no one was watching behind him, but You Yipeng always had the illusion that he was being watched.
So at the critical moment of assassinating Li Zhi, You Yipeng didn't even dare to stay at home. He wandered around the city, ready to escape at any time.
However, walking around in the city, You Yipeng never found Li Zhi's eyes, ears or secret sentry. Even the guards at the city gate were still the same, and no one was watching the people coming in and out.
You Yipeng smiled and touched his head. Maybe he was worrying too much. Unless Li Zhi had a clairvoyance to observe him from the sky, otherwise no one would be watching him. How could he notice him? How could he know he was there?
Is he the mastermind behind his assassination?
Maybe after a while, he would be able to see Li Zhi's bodyguard carrying Li Zhi's body into the city.
You Yipeng walked to a small shed selling bean curd: "Shopkeeper, please bring two bowls of bean curd."
The waiter yelled and brought over two bowls of bean curd and placed them on an empty table.
You Yipeng and his servants sat down and were about to eat the tofu pudding when they saw a surge of people in the direction of the south gate. Many people rushed to the south gate to watch the excitement. Several people who came from the south gate came towards You Yipeng.
As he walked over, he said: "There are really people who dare to assassinate Duke Jin, and now they are all caught."
After hearing the words of these vendors, You Yipeng felt as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on him, and his whole body became cold all of a sudden.
The assassination failed, and the assassins failed to escape, and were not even killed, but were all caught? Then wouldn't both himself and King De have to be exposed? Jinan City can't stay any longer. Now we can only abandon everything and go south.
Zhili fled.
You Yipeng looked at the package carried by the servant and thought to himself that luckily he had been prepared and had brought a hundred taels of gold with him. Even if he fled to Nanzhili, he would have no problem hiding from the limelight for a few years.
You Yipeng stood up and was about to walk towards the east city gate. However, when he looked up, he saw a group of Huben divisions patrolling the city in front of him walking slowly towards him.
You Yipeng felt guilty and sat back on the chair, hoping to wait for the soldiers to pass by before getting up.
However, that group of soldiers came to see You Yipeng. The soldiers walked up to You Yipeng, and a secret guard in the team shouted to You Yipeng calmly: "You Yipeng, come out, you are being arrested." Caught."
You Yipeng was stunned and speechless. How did Li Zhi know that he was eating tofu pudding here? There were obviously no hidden whistles on this street! How did Li Zhi know that he was the culprit of his assassination? No one had followed him in the past month. At the door of his house There were no strangers watching, and Li Zhi did not send secret guards to monitor him at all!
Does Li Zhi have a celestial eye?
Seeing You Yipeng suddenly unable to move as if struck by lightning, Boss Wei, the leader of the bandit group, snorted coldly. With a wave of his hand, the soldiers rushed forward and captured You Yipeng.

In the main hall of Qianqing Palace, Zhou Yanru, Liu Zongzhou and Zheng Sanjun stood in front of the throne, heartbroken and stated the affairs of Shandong to the emperor.
"Holy Master, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been such a ridiculous thing as a prince killing a prince! Li Zhi wants to kill the virtuous king Zhu Youshu of Jinan. It is really lawless to the extreme!"
Zhu Youqian stroked his beard and sighed.
King De failed to assassinate Li Zhi, and Li Zhi gained all the stolen goods. Now Li Zhi has handed over all the irrefutable evidence such as the assassin's confession, the Lumi gun found in King De's palace, the confession of Juren You Yipeng, and the confession of the craftsman of Rumi gun. When he went to the court, Li Zhi said that King De had plotted to assassinate him twice and asked Caishikou to kill King De in public.
This kind of thing really makes Zhu Youjian feel troublesome.
Liu Zongzhou took a step forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Li Zhi used a cannon to blast open the gate of Prince De's Mansion, rushed into Prince De's Mansion as a prince to arrest people, and had the audacity to kill Prince De. This is an act of rebellion! Please give me your order, Your Majesty. Stop Li Zhi's rebellion and escort King De to the capital for trial."
Zhou Yanru took a breath and said with a sigh: "This dynasty's kindness to the royal children has never been seen in previous dynasties. The life of the vassal prince is really the most important thing in the country. The king of virtue is the prince, even if there is really an assassination. The behavior of Duke Li Zhi is at best a crime of arrogance, and according to the law, he can be demoted to a commoner. The behavior of beheading King De is really ridiculous."
Zheng Sanjun said angrily: "Li Zhi wants to kill King De, the prefect of Jinan and the leader of Wenshe for this assassination. Are there people in Shandong who Li Zhi dare not kill? If this continues, people in Shandong will only know Li Zhi and not know There is an emperor and a court!"
Zhu Youjian took a breath and said, "Even if I issue an order, Li Zhi may not listen!"
Liu Zongzhou cupped his hands and said: "If Li Zhi does not listen to the emperor's decree, he will not be able to escape the charge of rebellion! The emperor can send a large army to attack Li Zhi and bring Tianjin and Shandong back under the jurisdiction of the imperial court."
Zhu Youjian looked at Liu Zongzhou who made ridiculous remarks and said nothing.
Now that Li Zicheng has resurrected, the court's military strength is once again tight. How can there be any remaining strength to attack Li Zhi?
After thinking for a long time, Zhu Youjian said: "Wang Chengen, this time you go to Jinan to convey my will. It's just a matter of the Jinan magistrate and this person. The execution of Zhu Youshu, the king of virtue, is related to the court's face. Li Zhi must release him and hand him over." Disposal by the court." 8
