Countless city guards blocked every street and alley and conducted house-to-house searches!
The news that Prime Minister Han Chuanzhong was assassinated in his residence spread throughout Nanji at an extremely fast speed!
In the wine pool palace.
The beautiful concubine in King Zheng's arms has changed. At this moment, she is just like the previous one, trembling in King Zheng's arms. She is not the eyes and ears sent to the palace by Han Chuanzhong, but she is attracted by the six-star Kaiyang soul emanating from King Zheng.
Photographed by pressure.
After a long while, King Zheng laughed.
"More bold than expected."
Just two hours ago, he thought that Han Chuanzhong would die of stupidity because Han Chuanzhong used the demon hunting trial to design Yi Xia. No matter whether it was successful or not, the two immortals from the main courtyard of the Holy Academy would definitely find out the truth and be thundered.
discipline!
But unexpectedly, Han Chuanzhong... died suddenly... and was killed!
No need to look it up, the only one who has such strength and has a grudge against Han Chuanzhong is Yi Xia.
Or himself.
He didn't do anything, so naturally it was Yi Xia who did it.
The man shrouded in shadow in front of him said: "Your Majesty, you should also be more vigilant here."
King Zheng raised his head and said, "What you said makes sense, please go ahead and arrange it. I asked you to send people to Qi State to rob the beauties. Have your people set off?"
"Already set off the day before yesterday."
"Send people to chase them and tell them that Gu has recently been partial to talented girls from official families. The higher the official position of the elders in the family, the better. If we can find a way to kidnap King Qi's daughter, Gu will make her a marquis!"
The body of the man in the shadow was trembling, and he kidnapped the princess? That would definitely lead to war! After a long while, he bowed and said: "I...obey the order!"
"Well, my minister Han Xiang will die if he wants to. Who can I find to replace him?" King Zheng nodded with satisfaction, stroking Mei Ji's cheek, looking worried about state affairs, without any hint of the previous one.
Second, he issued ridiculous orders.
Shadow said: "Your Majesty, do you want to track down the assassin who assassinated Prime Minister Han?"
"It's Yi Xia, but we can't find it. He must have evidence of alibi, and this evidence was probably provided by Gu Gu."
King Zheng said: "There is no need to waste manpower. Don't be surprised that he takes Xia Lan's daughter to escape. That will be more troublesome. Compared with this, your people haven't found out the origin of Yi Xia? The tenth generation of the Xia family
Is there an ancestor named Xia Yi here?"
"No, he seemed to appear in Zhoujia Village out of thin air. After the person responsible for guarding Zhou Feng vaguely sensed him, he cautiously stayed away and did not dare to approach. Since then, no more things have been investigated. All that is known is that Yi Xia appeared that day.
At that time, his clothes were dirty and unkempt, like a six-star Kaiyang monk who had been practicing seclusion for many years trying to break through to the king."
"However, my subordinates have searched hundreds of miles around where his retreat is, but they haven't found it yet."
King Zheng: "Is there anything unusual about Zhou Feng?"
"No, it's the same as before."
The shadow man replied: "Your Majesty, how should we deal with the two people sent by Prime Minister Han to Zhoujia Village?"
King Zheng waved his hand indifferently.
"Since Han Chuanzhong is dead, there is no point in controlling them. Just kill them." He stood up with Mei Ji in his arms, "You did everything you had to do for me tonight. There should be a good show in the court tomorrow morning.
Look, I need to rest early."
"Well, is it the turn of concubines No. 111 to No. 120 to go to bed? Go and inform them."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
…
Early the next morning, a certain mansion in Nanji.
A middle-aged man with an upright appearance was dressed under the care of his twenty-year-old wife.
His tired face was covered with wrinkles of worry, and his eye sockets were sunken, as if he hadn't slept all night, but his expression was exceptionally determined.
The wife looked worried: "Master..."
"No need to say more." He interrupted categorically: "Today in the court, someone must stand up and speak! Prime Minister Han was killed by a gangster, and there is no one to check and balance the tyrant. If we don't underestimate life and death and work together, I, Da Zheng, will be in danger.
!”
His name was Wu Xian, and his official position was not high, only fifth rank. He also held a very embarrassing position in Dazheng - Yushi Yanguan.
In Dazheng, where the mortality rate for admonishing King Zheng was as high as 90%, the censor was like a decoration, but what was extraordinary about Wu Xian was that he was among the 10% who survived after admonishing.
It was Han Chuanzhong who saved him.
Since then, he has deeply respected Han Chuanzhong as a wise man. When he heard the bad news that Han Chuanzhong was assassinated last night, he tossed and turned and finally decided to do something.
Even if it costs him his life!
He believed that there were many, many colleagues like him. Could it be that the tyrant dared to clear out all the important officials in the court?!
With a rustling mood, he got on the carriage and headed to the palace. At the gate of the palace, he saw many colleagues. He was not in the mood to talk to his colleagues because he had big things on his mind. He happened to not notice that he didn't see a few acquaintances.
.
In fact, when talking to his young wife at home, he concealed something.
Not only was he prepared to remonstrate, he was also prepared to be the first to remonstrate. Based on his understanding of the tyrant, even if he did not dare to execute all the ministers, as the first person to take the lead, he would still be dead!
But he has no fear!
When I walked into the palace gate, I originally wanted Han Chuanzhong's sedan chair in front and all the officials following behind, but this time I could no longer follow the rules and walked sparsely.
After arriving in front of the main hall and waiting for a while, a eunuch shouted, "The time has come." Hundreds of officials poured into the court hall and stood according to their official positions.
Wu Xian stands in the middle and back position.
But it is more eye-catching than most people.
Because he is not like the others who bow slightly to wait for King Zheng to enter the court, but he straightens his body!
Before King Zheng, who accompanied Mei Ji to court, could sit on the throne, he took a step forward, faced the throne, raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty! Prime Minister Han was killed by a bad person! What is your attitude?!"
Prince Zheng turned to look at him: "Oh? Before I and my beloved concubine were seated, you spoke so eagerly and scared my beloved concubine. What crime should you do?"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty! Throughout the Seven Kingdoms, throughout the dynasties, there is no king who has come to court without a concubine! What's more, isn't the death of the Prime Minister of Han more important than a mere woman being frightened?!"
After saying this, he buried his head deeply, knowing that in the next moment, King Zheng's butcher's knife might fall on his neck, but he had achieved his goal!
Sure enough, in the next moment, another burly middle-aged man came out and handed over his hand: "I second the proposal! How can the death of Prime Minister Han be inferior to that of a woman?!"
Wu Xian knew him. His name was Huo Kai. He was a fourth-grade military attaché. He was usually low-key and rarely interacted with his colleagues, but at this time he stood up decisively.
He couldn't help but feel greatly relieved, I am not alone in my path!
Next, all the officials should come out to admonish King Zheng, to achieve the same shock as when Prime Minister Han was still there, and let King Zheng know that even if Prime Minister Han is not around, he cannot act arbitrarily!
However, there is no third person.
After waiting for a long time, no third person came out with them. Wu Xian's expression gradually changed from impassioned to unbelievable. He raised his head, his eyes scanned the officials, and he suddenly felt surprised.
He hadn't noticed before, why were there so many unfamiliar faces among these people?
Where is Weilin? Where has Bangzhong gone?
"Sure enough, there were some omissions." King Zheng's words made him even more confused. "Did I miss you two last night? It's less than I expected. Or maybe there is someone else who is smarter than you two?"
Last night...I missed...many of my familiar colleagues were gone, and only the two of us were left...
Gradually.
A deep chill enveloped him.
This foolish king! How dare this foolish king?!
After a long time, he smiled bitterly, raised his head to face King Zheng, and shouted in a deep voice: "Tyrant! The Kingdom of Zheng will eventually fall at your hands! Kill me!"
Go with the replaced colleagues who were members of Prime Minister Han’s party and were killed in last night’s purge!
