In the Song Dynasty, people were lawless. Chapter 273 of the main text: Killing to Protect Life. Almost at the same time when Wang Anshi rushed back with the news over 800 miles, Ma Zhengju's family in Bianliang was also in a gloomy mood.
By the afternoon, the moderate rain outside had turned into light rain, and the sound of raindrops was loud.
Several people were not in the pavilion as before, but in the house. The servants were all driven out, and they were drinking alone.
Yang Rende poured himself a glass of wine, took a big gulp, and said with a bitter smile: "It's over, everything is over, my Yang family has been completely defeated by me."
The news of the assassination of Wang Anshi spread in the military camp, and the assassins sent out at that time had a man outside who prepared horses to support them and witnessed the entire process of their failed assassination outside the camp.
So Wang Anshi sent someone to deliver the letter back urgently at an altitude of 800 miles the next morning, and Yang Rende's people traveled all night and rushed to deliver the letter at about the same time this morning.
In this way, Yang Rende knew that he was doomed. The captured person was a death squad. Whether he would be sold out was another matter, but the court would definitely continue to dig deeper. Following the clues, he had the greatest motive and would be caught sooner or later.
"Wang Shilong, you killed me!"
Yang Rende suddenly threw his wine glass and pounced on Wang Shilong, grabbing his neck and shouting with red eyes, "Look at what a bad idea you came up with!"
"Old Yang, Old Yang!"
The others hurriedly scrambled to pull him away.
Wang Shilong, however, got up from the ground, patted his butt, and sneered, "Yang Rende, tell me yourself, can you blame me for this? Everyone knows that even if I hadn't come up with this idea, how much longer would any of you here have lived?"
He took a breath and continued, "This morning someone tried to bribe the envoy, but what happened? He was reported, and the Dali Temple and the Court of Justice have already gone to arrest him."
Yang Rende gasped, took several steps back, and sat down on the ground, not knowing what to say.
The generals and nobles have recently realized that Zhao Jun is a bit unethical. After they rejected the court's proposal, they actually sent people to check the situation of the army. Isn't this asking for their lives?
So some people have already started taking action.
Some people used their connections to ask for help, hoping to plead for mercy.
Some people whose crimes were not so serious hurried to find the Cao family and expressed their willingness to accept the court's conditions.
Some people even prepared a lot of money and gifts to bribe the envoys who were investigating, hoping that the envoys would cover up the bad things they had done in the army.
However, not to mention that the envoys sent by the court were accompanied by soldiers sent by the local censors and the Imperial City Office when they investigated cases, so it was difficult for them to accept bribes.
Just to say that those who were sent out were often newly admitted Jinshi in recent years, who had not yet been corrupted by the officialdom and had political achievements.
Once the task is successfully completed, it will be recorded in the merit book, which will facilitate future promotion.
There is really no need to sacrifice your future in front of the censor and the imperial guards for the money given by the military and noble families, even if it is a lot, as much as tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of strings of cash.
Therefore, when faced with bribes, the messengers would immediately report the bribe and gain another credit, feeling very happy.
In the past few days, some generals and nobles who controlled Jingji Road and Bianliang Tokyo Camp have been dismissed.
The main reason was that Zhao Jun gave the Ministry of War the power to act at its discretion.
In addition, the Dali Temple, the Court of Criminal Justice and the Imperial City Bureau all intervened, and people were arrested before the case was even reported to the Court of Constitution.
In the past two days, the generals and nobles in Bianliang have begun to panic.
"Die, everyone die."
Yang Rende seemed to have given up completely. He laughed miserably and said while lying on the ground, "Anyway, none of us brothers can escape."
"well."
Han Yunsheng, Ma Zhengju and Zhao Kaiji also looked ashen and sighed.
Although there has been no response from the assassins they sent out, if you think about it carefully, this still seems to be a stupid move.
If it succeeds, the court will be furious and will investigate thoroughly.
Even if we fail, we will still investigate thoroughly.
In the end, I still couldn't escape.
But at that time they had no other choice but to resort to this last resort.
If you have a good idea, who would take the risk?
"Not entirely."
Wang Shilong suddenly shook his head and said, "Is there one last solution?"
"Don't give me that stupid idea."
Yang Rende sneered, "Isn't it bad enough to hurt us?"
"Since we're all going to die, why not talk about it?"
Ma Zhengju and the other two looked at him.
Wang Shilong looked at the three of them and smiled strangely: "Whoever wants us to die, we won't let them live. Only when they die can we live!"
"What do you want to say?"
Han Yunsheng frowned and said, "Now the imperial court wants us dead, the government wants us dead, the Constitutional Court wants us dead, can you still kill them?"
"Yes, that's right!"
Wang Shilong said, "Only when Your Majesty and Zhao Jun die, will we have a chance of survival."
"You want to rebel?"
Everyone was shocked.
Wang Shilong said, "Who said I want to rebel? Do we have soldiers on hand?"
"How is this different from rebellion?"
"There's a huge difference. Rebellion means certain death, but for us, all we need is their death."
"Haha, I don't know what you're talking about. Every time Zhao Jun goes on tour, he's accompanied by dozens of guards and hundreds of secret agents from the Imperial City Bureau. Killing the prime minister is easier than killing him."
Zhao Kaiji shook his head. "As for your Majesty, how many guards are there in the palace? I thought you were just coming up with a bad idea, but I didn't expect you to be completely crazy. It would be better to let Yang Rende beat you up so that you can wake up a little."
