Chapter 84: King Zhou's property was confiscated, Shi Xiaoya had a miscarriage
On the other side, the innkeeper found the Chen family's villa based on the information sent by Qin Lu at noon. He knelt at the door of the villa covered in blood and said in tears:
"Your Highness has been ambushed, hurry and save him! If you're any later, it will be too late!"
The one waiting for news in the Chen family's villa was Chen Defu's cousin Chen Yong.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yong considered whether to mobilize the troops in the deep mountains or the guards in the other courtyard, and he chose the latter.
Chen Yong ordered his men to guard the villa while he left with his men. The shop owner also left with them. Before leaving, he looked back and saw Chen Kang nodding at him under the eaves.
This time, Chen Yong mobilized nearly five hundred people to go.
Chen Kang had made a great contribution by eavesdropping on the news and gained face from Chen Yong. When the man saw Chen Yong coming, he smiled and said, "Brother Chen is here."
Chen Kang smiled, walked in, closed the door, and stabbed the man with a knife.
Chen Kang searched his body and found the token to enter and exit the villa, and let in all the people that Qi Yunshen had deployed near the villa in advance.

When Jiang Yunzheng went downstairs, he touched the outer layer of the inn, which was coated with a layer of waterproof oil.
From last night until now, every step has been calculated by Qi Yunshen, including the young man and the straw.
The fire trick was used to trick King Zhou into replacing the gray-eyed man. When Emperor Jingming saw this Xixia man with his own eyes, everything was set in stone and King Zhou and the Chen family could not deny it.
The bodies of the men in black in the inn piled up into a small hill. King Zhou and a few other survivors were captured alive, tied up with their hands behind their backs and forced to kneel on the ground. King Zhou regretted it so much that he burst into tears.
The prince found Xixia evidence on the dead men in black. It was either a Xixia knife or a letter written in Xixia script...
Qi Yunshen watched all this coldly.
Emperor Jingming came down from upstairs and came before King Zhou. He drew the knife from Qi Yunshen's waist and slashed at King Zhou. King Zhou immediately stepped back to avoid it, and the sword slashed from his face to his chest.
King Zhou's collusion with Western Xia implicated many people. In addition to the Chen family, there were many other followers in the court.
Yesterday, Qi Yunshen reported everything about the Ningzhou passage, the Qinglian Sect's account books, and the assassination at the princess's mansion to Emperor Jingming.
The evidence of King Zhou and the Chen family’s guilt is conclusive.
Emperor Jingming was furious. He stormed out, throwing his sword to Qi Yunshen and ordering the Crown Prince and Qi Yunshen, "Immediately, imprison the King of Zhou. No one is allowed to interfere. The Crown Prince, return to the capital and arrest all members of the Chen family. No man, old, weak, woman, or child should be spared."
The emperor was furious and blood flowed like a river.
Prince: "Yes."
Qi Yunshen: "As you wish."
King Zhou's face was covered in blood, and he stared blankly at Emperor Jingming's back.
"Father, I know I was wrong. I really do."
Emperor Jingming was traveling incognito this time and did not alert anyone. All the guards and secret guards were hiding deep inside.
Before Emperor Jingming got on the carriage, he paused, glanced at Jiang Yunzheng, and asked Qi Yunshen, "Why is Doctor Jiang here?"
Qi Yunshen said calmly, "We met unexpectedly last night, and today we happened to be returning to Beijing together."
Jiang Yunzheng saluted the emperor.
The emperor didn't want to delve into Qi Yunshen's words. He narrowed his eyes and said to Jiang Yunzheng, "Doctor Jiang, if you can cure the prince, you will be rewarded handsomely."
Today was the day Jiang Yunzheng went to the Eastern Palace to treat the prince.
Jiang Yunzheng: "I will do my best to treat you."
As soon as Emperor Jingming left, Chen Yong and his men quickly rode over on horseback. There were countless corpses on the ground, and the place was in a mess. The inn was unusually quiet.
Chen Yong felt something was wrong and wanted to ride his horse and take his men away, but he didn't know when Qi Yunshen and the prince appeared outside the inn, with the Yulin soldiers standing in neat rows behind them.
King Zhou was thrown from his horse to the ground in a disheveled state, and he groaned in pain.
Chen Yong trembled all over. The 500 guards he brought with him were all surrounded. Those who dared to resist were killed with a single sword. Some, seeing that they were no match for the enemy, quickly knelt on the ground and accepted their fate.
Qi Yun was as cautious as a demon with a slender face, looking down at Chen Yong. The Crown Prince beside him still had a gentle expression. He said, "Chen Yong, if you can hand over the maps of the underground courtyard and the deep mountains, the court will consider a lighter punishment."
Chen Yong had an angry face and said nothing.
Qi Yunshen curled his lips coldly and called out Qi An.
Chen Yong was born into a second-rate family in Beijing. His martial arts skills were not very good and could not compare with Qi An, who was born into a secret guard family.
Qi An subdued the man in an instant. Chen Yong knelt on the ground and said, "Kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you!"
Qi Yunshen: "You colluded with Xixia and betrayed Daliang. Chen Yong, you and your people deserve death."
Chen Yong's eyes were bloodshot, but it was too late to beg for mercy.
The crowns of Chen's father and King Zhou were hung high, and anyone who rushed forward was a traitor to the country.
Seeing this, the guards of the Chen family's villa all begged for mercy. Qi Yunshen ordered King Zhou and Chen Yong to be imprisoned separately, and these guards were taken back to Beijing together.
Jiang Yunzheng sat in the carriage and watched the whole process.
Qi Yunshen had clearly sensed her murderous intent, so why did he keep her?
While rumors were still circulating in the capital about the Zhou King and the Chen family's treason, Qi Yunshen's men had already split into two groups and were operating in the Chen family's villa.
Yi Bo pretended to be the guard that Chen Yong had brought out before.
The rest of the people sneaked into the underground of the villa.
From the siege and assassination at the inn to the intrusion into the Chen family villa, the whole process was smooth and efficient. When the Minister of Justice and the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple Xu Qingsong went to arrest people, Chen Defu was still making maps in the Ministry of War in the Imperial City.
Chen Defu was arrested on the spot.
At the same time, Qi Yunshen also escorted people back to the capital, and then immediately took people to search the Zhou Palace and the Chen family. All the men, the elderly, the weak, women, children, and the branches within the nine clans in the two palaces were imprisoned.
When the officers and soldiers broke into Prince Zhou's mansion, Shi Xiaoya was still practicing her sitting posture in Princess Zhou's courtyard, looking extremely miserable.
When the officers and soldiers arrived, Princess Zhou's face turned pale instantly. She pushed Shi Xiaoya in front of the officers and soldiers, turned around and ran away, but was finally caught and put in handcuffs.
Shi Xiaoya lost her unborn baby after being pushed and was also imprisoned.
The world changed overnight.
On the other side, Ishida was also extremely anxious.
After hearing the news, Ishida was afraid that His Majesty would find out that the 200,000 taels of silver in the villa were handled by him.
once……
Now that Shi Jingtao is missing and the Qin family is blind, if something happens to Shi Tian again, the Shi family will be executed without the protection of any aristocratic family.
