Lin Yi assassinated Shangguan Minghong as he wished, and then went to join Dongmen Tiehu and Meimei.
Dongmen Tiehu and three others also escaped intact.
The three of them successfully set fire and attracted most of the guards of the General's Mansion. Then Dongmen Tiehu and Dongmen Liang withdrew from the route arranged by Zhou Chi first. Meimei, who was more skilled in martial arts, pretended to go towards the inner house, confusing the guards and making them
I thought the assassin was about to break into the inner house.
In the end, Mei Mei fought hard, set a house on fire, and with Zhou Chi's secret help, broke out of the general's mansion and left.
The three of them withdrew and waited for Lin Yi in a remote place in the south of the city.
It wasn't until Lin Yi came back that Meimei and Dongmen Tiehu let go of their worries.
The two hurriedly asked Lin Yi if he had succeeded. Lin Yi said: "Shangguan has become a ghost."
Meimei and Dongmen Tiehu were overjoyed when they heard this.
Dongmen Tiehu sighed with emotion: "Brother Lin, the two generals before and after me died at your hands! Of course, these two generals deserve to die. If it weren't for you, they would have done so many evil things.
Especially Shangguan Minghong, who turns out to be a blood demon. If you hadn't killed him, the emperor and the country would have been in danger."
Now Dongmen Tiehu admires Lin Yi's wisdom and courage even more.
Lin Yi did not expect that Shangguan Minghong would be a blood demon at first. When the blood demons came to the capital this time, Lin Yi was still confused. It turned out that the blood demons came to the capital secretly to cooperate with Shangguan Minghong's plan to plot evil.
Lin Yi said: "Once Shangguan Minghong dies, there is no need for the Blood Demon to stay in this dangerous place. The Blood Demon will definitely leave. Please ask Brother Dongmen to track the Blood Demon. I plan to stay for a few more days."
Dongmen Tiehu said: "Brother, the death of Shangguan Minghong will definitely shock the world. The court will also do its best to investigate. Dali Temple is full of talents, and the new executioner should not be underestimated. Now that the matter here has been settled, let's
Don't stay in this wrong place any longer. If you return to the Jianghu, even if they are traced to you, it will be difficult to catch you while you are in the Jianghu."
Dongmen Tiehu was worried about tracing Lin Yi's case.
Lin Yi said: "Brother, everyone knows that I have a deep friendship with Shangguan Minghong. He has just died and I have left. This will make people even more suspicious. Besides, I have something important to do."
What Lin Yi said was reasonable. Dongmen Tiehu asked Lin Yi to be careful, and then Dongmen Tiehu took Dongmen Liang and left first.
Lin Yi stayed for a few more days, firstly to confuse people, and secondly because he wanted to get to know Lin'er.
Last time Lin Yi asked Du Youhen to tell Lin'er that her father was coming back. He knew that her daughter must be looking forward to seeing her father now.
Dongmen Tiehu left, and Lin Yi asked Meimei to go back to her place of residence first, and he headed towards a wine shop in the city.
In that wine shop, there were five people drinking at the moment.
The five people had drank for an unknown amount of time, and they were all drunk, but they were still there. The shop owner and the waiter personally served these distinguished guests, because one of them was generous and gave the shop owner a lot of money.
That's why the shopkeeper didn't close the shop and stayed with the distinguished guests.
Among these five people, there is Yuan Tuan, the commander of the gold-belted bodyguards, and another gold-belt bodyguard. The other two people are Feitian Shu from the Xinghua Yamen, and the other is a third-rank official. The fifth person is "Lin Yi"
”.
Of course, this is not Zhen Linyi.
This Lin Yi is from the Dongmen family.
Very good at acting.
And he drank a lot.
He was disguised as "Lin Yi" by Xiao Lianqin.
Then he pretended that Lin Yi was drinking with these friends.
Several people have been drinking from Haishi till now.
At this moment, Lin Yi stood up unsteadily. He breathed out alcohol and said in a muffled voice: "I...I'll go to the toilet again..."
Assuming Lin Yi came to the toilet, Lin Yi also arrived at this moment.
Fake Lin Yi whispered to him: "Prince Lin...I, as you said, I will try to talk as little as possible and drink more. They have no doubts..."
Although this fake Lin Yi drinks a lot, he also drinks too much.
Lin Yi said: "Well done, it's none of your business now. Let's go quickly."
In order not to expose his flaws, Lin Yi had drank some wine and used his true energy to force him to sweat. His body exuded a smell of alcohol. So Lin Yi staggered back to the wine shop with the smell of alcohol all over his body.
They didn't doubt it at all, and Lin Yi continued to drink with them. After another meal, they finally left happily.
…
Half an hour after Shangguan Minghong was assassinated, the emperor found out.
This was a big deal, even if the emperor was in his sleep, he still had to report it. Teng Bin woke up the sleeping emperor and reported the matter, and the emperor was shocked.
The emperor really couldn't believe that Shangguan Minghong was assassinated.
And he died very miserably.
The emperor seemed to be talking to himself or to Teng Bin: "Who has the ability to break into the heavily guarded general's mansion and assassinate Shangguan Minghong?"
Teng Bin said: "I heard that there was more than one assassin, and all of them were highly skilled in martial arts. Especially the assassin who killed Shangguan Minghong was even more impressive. He broke into the basement and killed Shangguan Minghong, and finally escaped alive. Now the Minister of Dali Temple
, the Minister of Punishment, and the Punishment Officer, Mr. Yu, all went to the General's Mansion..."
Teng Bin reported the current situation to the emperor.
Prime Minister Lu was thrown into the Demon Prison, and the emperor was worried that there would be chaos in the capital. The emperor was also wary of Shangguan Minghong. However, there was nothing unusual about Shangguan Minghong. Therefore, the emperor's suspicion of Shangguan Minghong was alleviated. He thought that Shangguan Minghong just wanted to fight against Prime Minister Lu,
No dissatisfaction.
So the emperor is ready to continue to be important to Shangguan Minghong.
After all, talents like Shangguan Minghong are so rare.
Therefore, the emperor was very angry when Shangguan Minghong was assassinated.
The emperor recovered from his shock and said: "Shangguan Minghong has great prestige and is a man of great merit. The officials and the people must give an explanation for this matter! They must also give an explanation to me! Order them to go all out to investigate.
! Once we get to the bottom of the investigation, no matter who is found guilty, we will never let it go!"
Teng Bin added: "One more thing. Yesterday, a gold-belted guard reported to me that Yuan Tuan took him to accompany Lin Yi to the General's Mansion. Shangguan Minghong and Lin Yi were very affectionate..."
After hearing this, the emperor suddenly seemed enlightened and said: "Could this matter be related to Lin Yi? He has experience in assassinating generals. Moreover, he also went deep into Tubo to assassinate the Tubo king. Who did Lin Yi stab to death?
, who must die."
The emperor made a guess, but Teng Bin didn't dare to make a guess.
Teng Bin said: "Lin Yi and Shangguan Minghong are as close as brothers. There is no reason to assassinate Shangguan Minghong."
The emperor said: "Call Yuan Tuan, I want to ask him something!"
Teng Bin quickly ordered people to find Yuan Tuan.
Yuan Tuan returned to the palace drunkenly and had just fallen asleep. Shortly after he fell asleep, he was woken up by his subordinates and learned that Shangguan Minghong had been assassinated. The emperor was now furious and wanted to see him. Yuan Tuan was half-awakened by the wine.
Yuan Tuan quickly put on his clothes and came to see the emperor.
But because Yuan Tuan drank too much tonight, he walked a little light and smelled heavily of alcohol.
The emperor was even more angry at this. He pointed at Yuan Tuan and said: "As one of the five commanders of the Nighthawk Guards, when has it happened? You still drink like this! It really disappoints me!"
Yuan Tuan knelt down and said in fear: "Your Majesty, Lin Yi invited us to drink, and I... just drank a few more drinks. I won't dare to do it again, please forgive me!"
The emperor and Teng Bin looked at each other.
Then the emperor stared at Yuan Tuan who was kneeling in front of him and said, "It turns out that Lin Yi invited you to drink. When did you drink?"
