With a thunder, the sky suddenly started pouring rain.
Not a single pedestrian could be seen on the street in the city on a rainy night, but there were groups of guards wearing flying fish uniforms walking through the rain.
"Xu..."
Liu Sheng reined in his horse and stopped at the door of the Minister of War.
"Who is here? Why did you break into Shangshu Mansion at night?!"
The four guards guarding the gate drew their swords.
Liu Sheng reached out and took out a black token.
"Jinyiwei is taking someone, get out of here!"
"Jinyiwei? What right does the prince's Jinyiwei have to take..."
"puff!"
Before the guard finished speaking, a stream of blood spurted out of his throat.
Suddenly, the closed door of Shangshu Mansion opened with a creak, and it was a maid who opened the door.
After the maid opened the door, she glanced at Liu Sheng, nodded, left the mansion, and disappeared into the rainy night in the blink of an eye.
"Get someone!"
Liu Sheng gave an order and ordered dozens of Jinyi guards to rush into the Ministry of War Shangshu Mansion.
"Who?!"
"There's an assassin!"
The guards in the mansion rushed out one by one.
"The Imperial Guards are ordered by the Crown Prince to capture people! Anyone who resists will die!"
"Jinyiwei! How courageous! His Majesty is seriously ill, do you want to rebel?"
With a loud shout, the Minister of War rushed out with a servant holding an umbrella.
Liu Sheng sneered, waved his hand and said:
"It's you who takes it! Take it!"
"Hoola!"
Jin Yiwei rushed forward together.
"Protect your lord!"
"You are brave!"
"Qiang Qiang Qiang!"
The guards drew their swords.
"kill!"
Liu Sheng issued a killing order, and all the Jinyi guards drew their Xiuchun knives.
The current strength of the Jinyiwei is at its lowest in the God-forging stage. Liu Sheng and some Jinyiwei use a large number of elixirs to reach the soul-refining stage!
After a while, all the guards of Shangshu Mansion were killed, and the face of Shangshu of the Ministry of War also changed greatly.
"Take it! Take it away! Wait until the prince comes back to decide!"
Liu Sheng gave an order, and the Minister of War was chained by two Jinyi guards.
"How outrageous! Do you want to rebel? I am the Minister of War!"
The Minister of War struggled violently, but it was in vain.
"take away!"
"yes!"
Two Jinyi guards pressed the Minister of War and rushed straight to the door of the mansion.
Liu Sheng, on the other hand, looked at the family members rushing out and said coldly:
"Listen, before the matter is found out, anyone who dares to leave Tianqing City will be regarded as a rebel!"
After saying that, he disappeared into the rainy night in the pouring rain.
And this is just the beginning.
Over the course of one night, more than two dozen officials, big and small, disappeared en masse, and no one knew where they had gone.
There is no prison in the Imperial Palace, no prison in the Ministry of Punishment, and no prison in Tianqing City.
They seemed to disappear out of thin air, but I just knew it was Jin Yiwei who did it.
For a time, the officials in Tianqing City were panicked and restless.
Pan Mansion.
Pan Yunlian was sitting in the living room of Pan's house. At this time, she was no longer as weak as before, but only mature and cool.
Under her, sitting a woman in yellow clothes.
The woman is absolutely beautiful and has a unique temperament.
However, the woman's face at this time had a hint of sadness, and the teacup in her hand was trembling slightly.
Pan Yunlian also frowned, slightly worried.
"Sister, let's go out of the city tonight. I didn't expect that Ximen Hao had already prepared a back-up plan. His intelligence work is terrible."
Pan Yunlian's eyes flashed with fear, and she faintly felt that nothing she had done had escaped the eyes of that terrifying man.
"What about you, sister? Let's go together. The prince's secret development was caught overnight, and Ximen Hao will not let us go."
Cheng Cheng also looked worried, and she also heard that the guy was a pervert. If two weak women fell into each other's hands, one can imagine the consequences.
"Me? Haha~ I should have died a long time ago, but I have survived until now to avenge my father. Unfortunately, all the calculations cannot escape the eyes of that man. Alas! Why? Why do gods want to help such people?"
Pan Yunlian sighed, feeling that God was unfair.
"Sister, you can't stay. Let's go together. When the prince's army comes to the city, your Pan family will definitely restore its former glory."
Cheng Cheng stood up and went to Pan Yunlian's side, holding the other person's little hand.
"Sister, let's go."
Pan Yunlian also grabbed the other person's hand, her eyes a bit resentful.
"younger sister."
"elder sister."
The two women's eyes met, sparks instantly flew, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became ambiguous.
"Pah! Pah! Pah!"
With a burst of applause, Fox Prajna suddenly appeared at the door of the hall.
Behind him were Ying, several dark-flag imperial guards, and panicked maids and servants.
"Keke! I didn't expect that two famous talented women in Qingguo would actually have sex with handkerchiefs."
Pan Yunlian and Cheng Cheng were stunned for a moment, and then let go of each other as if they were electrocuted.
Hu Banruo smiled, then walked into the hall with small steps, and naturally sat on the chair where Cheng Cheng had sat before.
He reached out and picked up the tea cup on the other party's table, took a look at the tea inside, and said lightly:
"Cheng Cheng, the daughter of Cheng Gong, the chief military advisor of King Huainan, came to Tianqing City three months ago and became the link between Pan Yunlian, Concubine Di, and King Huainan. I wonder, Miss Cheng, am I right?"
Cheng Cheng had a pretty face. He didn't expect when he came and what he did. He didn't hide it from the other party's eyes at all.
"Who are you?"
"Sister, she is Hu Prajna. She used to be with Concubine Di, but now she is Ximen Hao's lackey!"
Pan Yunlian obviously knew Hu Prajna.
"Fox Prajna? Are you... Fox Prajna of Qiqiao Sect?"
Cheng Cheng was shocked and took a step back, looking a little scared.
"Haha, don't be afraid, Miss Cheng. After all, your father is still my senior brother. However, he is in front and I am behind. We have never met each other."
Fox Prajna put down the teacup and crossed his legs.
Her power now is much greater than when she followed Concubine Di, so her temperament and demeanor have also changed a lot.
"Are you here to kill us?"
Pan Yunlian glanced at the cold-faced female guard at the door, with a hint of determination in her tone.
"Kill you? No, no, no, I don't dare. His Highness has an order to keep you alive."
Fox Banruo shook his head, and his words made the two women's faces turn pale instantly.
"Then you might as well kill us!"
Cheng Cheng took a step forward. She would rather die than face that man.
"Hmph! I told you, your lives are not yours, but His Highness's! Someone! Take them away and keep them in secret until His Highness is punished!"
Fox Prajna stood up, with a cold face, and a cold light flashed in her charming eyes.
"As you command!"
Two female guards with hidden flags came to the two women's side instantly, twisted their arms and escorted them outside the door.
The two women did not beg for mercy because it was too late to say anything now.
They just looked at each other with a miserable smile.
