Chapter seven hundred and seventy-six soldiers besieged the gate of Longmen
But if it wasn't the Dugu family, which family would have leaked the matter? Could it be that someone in the Guanlong clan had secretly become the emperor's confidant? Or maybe He Ruobi was not cautious enough in his actions, and someone around him leaked the secret.
This idiot He Ruobi really harmed others and himself. Yuanshou was filled with regret. If he had known better, they should not have agreed to this idiot's proposal that day.
"Brother, what should we do about this matter?" Yuan Zhou asked worriedly.
Yuan Shou sighed, gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that I only have to go to the palace and explain this matter to the Holy One in person."
As soon as he finished speaking, there were rapid footsteps outside, and the housekeeper was seen outside saying in panic: "Master, countless soldiers have come outside, surrounding our house. There is also an official, please come out and answer the question."
"ah!"
Duguluo was stunned. He suddenly felt an ominous feeling in his heart. He walked quickly outside the mansion. When he walked out of the mansion, he saw a large group of soldiers standing outside the mansion. Everyone was wearing armor and carrying knives and spears.
, there were dozens of blue-clad guards in front, full of murderous intent, and in the distance were crowds of people watching the excitement, pointing and whispering.
I saw an official standing on the steps. It was none other than Xu Jingzong, the commander of the Supervision Department of the Blue-clad Guards.
"Xu Jingzong, Commander-in-Chief of the Inspection Department of the Lanyi Guard Mansion, pays homage to Mr. Yuan." Xu Jingzong smiled politely.
Yuan Shou felt uneasy and asked: "Master Xu, what do you mean? You dare to lead people to surround my Yuan Mansion?"
Xu Jingzong stepped forward, bowed his hands, and said, "Sir Yuan, this matter has naturally been approved by His Majesty. I would like to ask Lord Yuan to accompany me to the Blue Yi Guard Mansion. There is a major case related to Lord Yuan."
Yuan Shou suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and asked coldly: "What big case?"
Xu Jingzong's expression gradually turned cold at this time, and he snorted coldly: "He Ruobi wanted to do something evil and attempted to assassinate His Majesty. He was caught on the spot. He has confessed that Lord Yuan was also one of the planners, and Lord Yuan's confidants were also arrested on the spot.
Enshrined among the staff and in the palace..."
Yuan Shou's pupils shrank and he said: "A few days ago, in my Yuan clan's mansion, a court official and a priest were expelled from the Yuan clan because of their evil intentions."
Xu Jingzong sneered, shook his head and said: "Since I dare to come to Lord Yuan, the evidence is conclusive. He Ruobi and the staff of Lord Yuan's house have all confessed."
"I want to ask the Holy One to explain this matter. I, the Yuan clan, have absolutely no involvement in this matter." Yuan Shou was still trying to argue.
Xu Jingzong sneered and said: "I can understand Lord Yuan's mood, but I am acting under orders. Please follow me to the Blue Guard Mansion to assist in the investigation. As long as Lord Yuan cooperates, we will not embarrass the rest of the Yuan family."
people."
"Hmph, you are not allowed to enter the mansion and disturb the rest of my Yuan family!" Yuan Shou knew that it would be impossible not to go to the blue-clad guard's mansion today.
"I can guarantee this."
Xu Jingzong waved his hand and said: "Master Yuan, please invite me!"
Yuan Shou tidied up his clothes and followed Xu Jingzong out of Yuan Mansion...
While Yuan Shou was being arrested, the effect of the confessions of He Ruobi and the seven worshippers was still expanding. The heads of the other seven Guanlong Clan clans who participated in the conspiracy were also arrested for their involvement in the case. This was tantamount to eliminating Dugu from the Guanlong Clan.
All other lords of the great clan except the Clan were arrested.
The assassination of the emperor caused a sensation in both the government and the public, and everyone in the Guanlong noble family was in danger. Just an hour after the heads of the seven great clans were arrested, the eldest sons or second-in-commands of the seven powerful clans came to see Dugu Changsu one after another.
Dugu Changsu did not receive them personally, but asked Dugu Wudu to entertain them. After Dugu Wudu politely asked everyone to sit down, he said: "The Dugu family already knows your purpose of coming. I have sent people to inquire about the situation.
He Ruobi and the worship masters you sent have confessed, and they admitted that they premeditated the assassination of His Majesty."
"What, this idiot He Ruobi, even if he dies, he still has to implicate others!"
"Impossible, our family will never admit this."
"Besides, at most we only participated in the assassination of Wang Junlin, and we never thought of assassinating His Majesty."
Everyone gnashed their teeth in hatred and cursed and complained one after another. Dugu Wudu looked on with cold eyes. After everyone had finished venting, Yuan Zhou asked Dugu Wudu urgently: "My dear nephew, is there anything we can do to remedy this matter?"
Dugu Wudu shook his head and said: "My nephew has inquired, and your Majesty was indeed at the ambush scene. Wang Junlin went to Chencang County to inspect the establishment of the Lan Yiwei Mansion branch office. Your Majesty wanted to take the opportunity to have a private visit with Wang Junlin incognito, but it turned out that idiot He Ruobi
If you don’t know, it turns into an ambush for His Majesty, or a king coming to rescue you.”
"But...how could things be such a coincidence?"
Yuan Zhou smiled bitterly and said: "This is obviously a trap. In order to make it perfect, and to make He Ruobi and I and other Guanlong clan officials commit the serious crime of assassinating you and treason, your majesty did not hesitate to risk his own life. In fact, everyone knows that He Ruobi is
In order to kill King Junlin, His Majesty also knows about it, but so what. He Ruobi led people to assassinate His Majesty. It has happened, and each of our families has sent people. The most important thing now is that He Ruobi and the worshipers of each of our families have acknowledged it.
It was to assassinate His Majesty, no matter what method the Blue Guards used, the evidence is now conclusive."
"So what do we do now?"
"Are we just going to watch our family head being implicated, and then implicating our family?"
…
Others immediately started shouting again.
"He Ruobi probably can't be saved now. Let's see if the Holy One can have some scruples and ask Uncle Dugu to come forward and intercede for me and other families." When Yuan Zhou said this, everyone looked at Dugu Wu eagerly.
All.
Dugu Wudu shook his head and said: "My father will go to the palace to plead with His Majesty for the sake of being part of the Guanlong Group, but if we make a little more concessions, we may be able to save their lives!"
"What kind of concession are you talking about...?" Yuan Zhou was stunned for a moment and asked urgently.
Dugu Wudu's face was full of bitterness, and he smiled helplessly and said: "Don't you understand that this matter was caused by His Majesty's strong counterattack caused by our families' strong opposition to His Majesty's move to Luoyang?"
"What your nephew means is that our seven families will give in on the matter of moving the capital?" Yuan Zhou suddenly realized.
…
…
In the Daxing Palace, Wang Junlin was led by a eunuch and hurriedly walked into the imperial study of Emperor Yang Guang. Wang Junlin saluted Yang Guang and said respectfully: "The humble minister Wang Junlin comes to see your majesty!"
Yang Guang was in a good mood today. He did a very good job today. Although he took some risks, Wang Junlin thought very carefully during the whole process. He was not in any danger. The most important thing is that he confirmed the conspiracy of He Ruobi's assassination and rebellion.
Not to mention the charges, the evidence of the crime was conclusive and implicated the other seven Guanlong clans. Since there was conclusive evidence about the assassination of the emperor, the seven Guanlong clans had nothing to say.
