Xu Xianchun, who was waiting outside, soon got the information he wanted, and then rushed to Prince Lu's Mansion to arrest people.

Because it was a secret arrest, the area around Zhou Yi's residence was completely blocked by the Jinyiwei, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

All around, there was silence and you could hear a pin drop.

Xu Xianchun came outside the room, glanced at the people around him, and asked directly, "Is there anything going on inside?"

"My lord, there is no movement." The subordinate said hurriedly.

"Then let's do it." Xu Xianchun didn't delay and waved his hand and said directly.

Several Jinyiwei quietly crept to the window, came to the door, reached out and tried to push Zhou Yi's door, but found that the door was locked from the inside.

Someone brought a small, lightweight knife and gently inserted it into the crack of the door. Then, they moved it up and down, using the knife to gently push open the latch. This wasn't too difficult for the Jinyiwei.

The moment the door opened, the Jinyiwei rushed in first, then the window was broken and someone jumped in.

At this time, Zhou Yi was sleeping soundly. Before he could react, someone had already pressed him down on the bed.

Zhou Yi wanted to shout, but how could he be as fast as the Jinyiwei?

Someone came up and covered his mouth with a piece of rag, then stuffed his mouth. Then they used the quilt on the bed to wrap Zhou Yi tightly and carried him away.

Seeing the man being captured easily, Xu Xianchun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, the capture wasn't difficult; the challenge was to avoid making too much noise. Once we were done with this one, we'd go capture the eunuch, using the same procedure and taking him away.

After bringing the person back to Zhu Youxiao's residence, Xu Xianchun immediately went to Chen Hong to report.

Chen Hong did not dare to delay and hurried to see Zhu Youxiao, reported the matter to Zhu Youxiao, and then stood aside quietly waiting for Zhu Youxiao's instructions.

After glancing at Chen Hong, Zhu Youxiao thought for a moment and said, "These people are so bold! They actually dared to assassinate me!"

Zhu Youxiao then turned to look at Chen Hong and said directly, "Go and find Qi Jin for me."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Hong quickly agreed.

If you want to find someone to assassinate you, you have to find the most professional person, but you also have to find someone you can trust to prevent the fake from becoming real.

Zhu Youxiao thought of Qi Jin first, and he was the most suitable person to do these things.

When he was called in, Qi Jin was still confused. What did His Majesty want him to do so late at night?

But when Qi Jin came over, he found that the atmosphere was a little off, with an unprecedented sense of oppression. He had a bad feeling in his heart. Could something have happened?

When Qi Jin walked into the lobby, he saw an unbelievable scene.

Swords and knives were scattered on the floor of the lobby, and chairs had been knocked over, as if a fight had taken place. Qi Jin's heart skipped a beat, and his face suddenly darkened.

How did it become like this?

How dare anyone draw his sword or gun in front of His Majesty?

Zhu Youxiao looked at Qi Jin approaching, smiled weakly and said, "You're here."

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects." Qi Jin was relieved to see that His Majesty was fine. He hurriedly said with some concern, "Your Majesty, what happened?"

"An assassin has sneaked in." Zhu Youxiao said helplessly.

Although Zhu Youxiao said it lightly, Qi Jin was trembling all over.

How dare someone assassinate His Majesty? Is this a life-threatening move?

Besides, you're just digging your own grave!

The security around His Majesty was arranged by himself, so how did an assassin get in?

Thinking of this, Qi Jin felt uneasy and said quickly, "It was my negligence that frightened Your Majesty! I beg Your Majesty to punish me!"

Zhu Youxiao waved his hands helplessly and said, "How can I blame you, my dear? It was my negligence."

"Your Majesty, I wonder who is plotting to assassinate you? I will lead people to capture and quell the rebellion!" Qi Jin said gritting his teeth.

"The assassin has been apprehended." Zhu Youxiao sighed and said helplessly, "Who would have thought it was someone close to Prince Lu? It was also my negligence."

After hearing this, Qi Jin was deeply shocked and asked, "But is the Prince of Lu plotting treason?"

If the King of Lu was plotting a rebellion, he would take his men to suppress it.

Zhu Youxiao shook his head and said, "The criminal has just been apprehended, and we don't know what the situation is yet. We have already sent the Jinyiwei to interrogate him."

"Then what should I do?" Qi Jin asked hurriedly.

"Take your men to block the streets and prevent the rebels from causing chaos." Zhu Youxiao looked at Qi Jin and said, "Seal off the entire city of Jining and hunt down the rebels. Don't let a single one escape."

"Yes, Your Majesty. I will arrange it right away." Qi Jin nodded quickly.

Watching Qi Jin leave, Zhu Youxiao stood up, stretched his muscles, and then looked at Chen Hong and said, "Have someone prepare some midnight snacks. I've been busy all night and I'm really hungry."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Hong agreed quickly, and then asked someone to prepare food.

Zhu Youxiao was having a midnight snack, but the news of his assassination spread quickly.

After all, Qi Jin's mobilization of troops could not be stopped, and soon the news of the assassination of the current emperor spread throughout Jining City.

Especially the ministers who came with Zhu Youxiao, they were the first to know that His Majesty had been assassinated. Firstly, they were very angry, and secondly, they were very worried.

You have to know that those who can follow Zhu Youxiao to the south this time can really be said to be Zhu Youxiao's confidants. Because of Zhu Youxiao's existence, they have their current power and status.
