1196 Assassination, Bloody Rain and Wind Entering the Building
It doesn't matter what the truth is about the attack on the Ninth Prince. As long as the Ninth Prince insists that he was ambushed and others can't provide evidence to prove that this was a play directed and performed by the Ninth Prince himself, then...
Anyone who is suspicious must pay the price for the attack on the Ninth Prince. The Ninth Prince has never been a kind person. Revenge is his principle. Only in this way can the emperor believe that the Ninth Prince was really almost dead.
Some people had to die, otherwise no one would believe that something really happened to the Ninth Prince. Killing these people's capable subordinates was also to tell the emperor that he, Dong Lingjiu, was not easy to bully, and he disdained to make friends with these people.
There were only ten people on the other side, but the men in black outnumbered them several times. The sounds of fighting in the alley soon stopped, and blood flowed all over the ground. The leader of the men in black gestured to his subordinates, and ten corpses were quickly dragged away. Buckets of clean water rushed over, leaving no trace at all...
After doing all this, the group of people quickly disappeared into the night.
The alley was quiet and there was a faint fragrance in the air, as if no one had ever been here and no one had died here.
This group of men in black were like ghosts, moving through the streets and alleys. They walked gloomily to their targets and strangled their hands before they could react.
Killing people does not require fair means!
In the courtyard where City Lord Chu was temporarily staying, ropes were hung outside, and rows of people were hanging inside. Their faces were purple, and their feet were hanging helplessly in the air.
At the Cui family's farm outside the city, a noisy chase was heard, and three big men ran out with fear on their faces, their bodies covered with wounds and blood.
Soon, the men in black who were chasing them caught up with them. Without any courtesy, they stabbed the men in the arms and kicked them into the woods.
Even if he hadn't been killed by the previous blow, he would have been eaten by wild beasts if he fell into the woods.
The Wang family, the Xie family, and the Prince Su's Palace are all there...
Doudou finally arrived at Fu Lin's house with the map in hand. Doudou put the map away and clenched his fist: "I will definitely do a good job on this business."
Pulling off the black face scarf, Doudou's clear eyes burst into a cold murderous intent.
The Ninth Prince said that these people were the ones who harmed them and that was the reason why they had to go to the miasma forest. Thinking of the suffering they had endured in the miasma forest, Doudou became murderous.
Fu Mansion... The guards were not as strict as imagined, nor was it as large as imagined. Doudou quickly found the target, strangled the man to death as quickly as possible, and then quickly hid the body.
In the palace, Zuo An held a sword, nimbly avoided the palace guards, and walked inside.
With the map and guard arrangements provided by the Ninth Prince, Zuo An made his way to the harem without making any unusual movements.
Tonight, the Emperor is having sex with Concubine Xi in Qingning Palace, and Zuo An's target is Concubine Xi.
Zuo An jumped onto the roof and, with his excellent memory, found the room where the emperor and Concubine Xi stayed. Zuo An removed the tiles, revealing a gap.
With just one glance, Zuo An determined the location of the attack.
Putting the tiles back in place, Zuo An moved the fifth tile on his left hand again, and his middle finger with the ring was facing the gap. With a "puff" sound, the concubine lying on the emperor's bed died without making a sound, her head tilted.
The emperor lay beside Concubine Xi without any reaction. In the middle of the night, he found that the woman next to him was cold. The emperor, greedy for the coolness, held her in his arms and continued to sleep.
Concubine Xi's expression remained unchanged, and her body was not stiff either. Only the red spot between her eyebrows told everyone that she had died an untimely death...
It was impossible that there would be no noise after so many people were killed overnight, and the people in Zhufeng Tower soon received the news.
The people present
With a look of anger and purple bruises on his face, no one spoke. Fu Lin glanced at everyone and stood up: "Uncle Nine, my subordinates just reported that the guards of King Luo and King Zhou were killed. Several guards of the Wang, Cui, and Xie families died. Several adults present also lost several subordinates, but your people are the only ones who are safe."
This was a question as well as a suspicion. Everyone looked at the Ninth Prince, except for Zhai Dongming, who was unaware of the situation and stood there in a daze, staring at the Ninth Prince's calm face. He was extremely shocked, and then his face showed excitement.
The Ninth Prince's method of revenge is truly manly.
The Ninth Prince ignored everyone's gaze, brushed his robe, and stood up: "Since everyone is dead, this banquet tonight should also end."
After saying that, he walked out. Prince Luo excitedly stepped forward to stop the man. Prince Zhou was a step slower and also stepped forward immediately to block the way of the Ninth Prince.
"Ninth Prince, why?" Why should they kill their people? They did steal food from the Ninth Prince, but that's how politics works.
"Are you questioning me?" the Ninth Prince asked back.
"Nephew, I dare not." Prince Luo and Prince Zhou lowered their heads at the same time, but they were extremely unwilling in their hearts. Seeing that the two princes did not speak, the other officials did not dare to say much. Patriarch Xie was so angry that his veins popped out.
They thought they could use this meal to ease the tense relationship with the Ninth Prince, but they didn't expect the Ninth Prince to take the opportunity to harm them.
Patriarch Xie looked at Wang Jinling and Cui Haoting, wanting to see what they had to say, but they looked as if it had nothing to do with him.
If he didn't know that the Wang and Cui families suffered greater losses, the head of the Xie family would have suspected that this was done by the Ninth Prince in collaboration with the Wang and Cui families.
So everyone stood up, wanting the Ninth Emperor Uncle to give an explanation, but the Ninth Emperor Uncle had no intention of explaining at all. Prince Luo hesitated again and again, and explained: "Ninth Emperor Uncle, my nephew was in the miasma forest at that time, and they were all people who followed my nephew."
Prince Luo was telling the Ninth Prince that he had no motive to do it, and that his dead subordinates were all in the miasma forest. Even if he succeeded in doing it, it would not have been possible for those people to do it.
Those who can stay by his side and serve as personal guards are not only innocent and loyal, but also have extraordinary strength. It is not easy to train such people, and they died in the hands of the Ninth Prince in an instant. Prince Luo's heart bleeds.
Everyone present was the same as King Luo.
The people killed by the Ninth Prince were all their right-hand men. How could they not be angry? Everyone looked at the Ninth Prince, waiting for his answer.
The Ninth Prince looked at them one by one, and finally stopped at Prince Luo, and said sarcastically: "The Emperor has been investigating for a month, but still hasn't found the culprit. What do you think I should do? I have lost a group of my loyal guards."
The Ninth Prince was telling everyone that a number of his trusted aides had died, and these people would have to compensate him with another number of their trusted aides.
Phew… Several people present were so angry that they were about to vomit blood.
The indiscriminate attack by the Ninth Prince is really shameless. They clearly did nothing, so why should the Ninth Prince take out his anger on them?
"Ninth Uncle, this matter has nothing to do with our nephew." Prince Luo and Prince Zhou suppressed the fishy-sweet taste in their mouths and said angrily.
The Ninth Prince killed their people, so he must give an explanation.
The Ninth Prince sneered, "You forgot that I am from the Dongling royal family, and the royal family loves to vent their anger on others. If you want to blame someone, blame the person who attacked me. I made you angry because of him."
After saying this, the Ninth Prince walked between Prince Luo and Prince Zhou. Prince Zhou and Prince Luo were knocked to the side and spit out blood on the spot.
This matter...is indeed the fault of the person who attacked the Ninth Prince.
Why didn’t you kill the Ninth Prince? Instead, you let him come back alive. He deserves to die!
