Chapter 762 Don’t Leave a Single Person Alive
In cases like this, the assassin would usually be sent to Jingzhao Prefecture or the Ministry of Justice for trial by a special person.
But Xiao Xixi didn't do that.
She walked straight up to the assassins, wanting to see who were these assassins who dared to assassinate the King of England in broad daylight?
The assassins were wearing ordinary people's clothes. At this moment, they fell to the ground, all of their arms and legs were broken. They had completely lost the ability to move and could only wail in pain and shout curses.
They were not speaking the official language of Dasheng, which confused everyone present.
Xiao Xixi didn't understand what they were saying, but she felt that the tone of the words was very familiar, a bit like the Nanyue dialect.
The assassin's sleeve was cut by the blade, revealing the densely packed black tattoos on his arm.
When Xiao Xixi saw those tattoos, her heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that the assassin this time is from the Nanyue Kingdom?
She carefully observed the faces of these assassins and confirmed once again that they were indeed from Nanyue.
Luo Yechen, who was not far away, was still cursing.
He was a little scared just now, but now that the danger is over, he is left with only anger.
These assassins dared to attack him in broad daylight. They really didn't take him seriously!
The sound of horse hooves could be heard in the distance.
Shang Kui reminded, "Madam, it's the people from the city patrol office coming this way."
Xiao Xixi's mind raced.
These assassins appeared too abruptly, and it was obvious that they were deliberately trying to attract other people's attention.
Once they are caught, their identity as Nanyue people will no longer be hidden.
No matter what the emperor thinks, there will definitely be people in the former dynasty and the harem who will take advantage of the situation and say that Nanyue has bad intentions towards Dasheng. At that time, she, the princess from Nanyue, will become the number one target of attack.
If the emperor is determined not to deal with her, not only will the former dynasty and the harem not give up, but even the King of England may feel resentful towards the emperor.
After all, this time the King of England almost died at the hands of the Nanyue Assassin, and he was the direct victim.
The troops from the city patrol office were getting closer and closer.
Xiao Xixi whispered to Shang Kui.
"Kill all these assassins, leaving no one alive."
After saying that, she fell to the ground, as if she was avoiding something, and screamed in fear.
"Ah, there are hidden weapons! They also hid hidden weapons!"
Shang Kui didn't have time to think about what the imperial concubine meant. He had already drawn the sword from his waist again and slashed at the assassin closest to the imperial concubine, shouting at the same time.
"Quick, protect the imperial concubine!"
The Yulin Guards rushed forward.
The remaining assassins were all killed by them, and even their bodies were chopped into pieces.
By the time the patrol officers arrived in a hurry, all the assassins were already dead.
They looked at the bloody body of the assassin, then looked at the group of blood-stained and ferocious-looking Yulin Guards next to them. They wanted to curse but did not dare to open their mouths, and their expressions were inevitably distorted.
How can they arrest people? How can they interrogate assassins? How can they find out the truth?
Xiao Xixi was helped up by someone.
She covered her chest, her body trembled uncontrollably, and her face turned pale, obviously she was terrified.
"How could so many assassins appear in broad daylight? Luckily, I brought a few more people with me, otherwise I would not be able to save my life today."
The people from the patrol office hurriedly apologized.
The security of the city has always been the responsibility of the patrol office. Now that an assassin has appeared in the city, it is clearly the negligence of the patrol office.
But among those assassinated today was the King of England, who was also the head of the Patrol Office.
It's a bit embarrassing that he is both the plaintiff and the defendant.
Luo Yechen didn't feel embarrassed at all. He shouted that he must cut these assassins into pieces and throw their bodies out to feed the dogs!
Soon, troops from Jingzhao Prefecture also arrived.
When the prefect Mei Guangtao saw the situation at the scene, he took a deep breath.
The King of England and his concubine were assassinated in broad daylight. This must be a big case.
But all the assassins were dead, not a single one was left alive, and even their corpses looked unrecognizable.
How can we investigate this case?!
Mei Guangtao felt bitter. It was already the end of the year and suddenly such a big case popped up. It seemed like he wouldn't be able to celebrate this year.
A cold wind blew.
He felt that his hairline had been blown back a lot by the wind, and his forehead felt cold.
All the bodies of the assassins were temporarily transferred to Jingzhao Prefecture.
People from the patrol office stayed behind to clean up the scene and investigate the origins of the assassins.
Luo Yechen was sent back to the British Palace.
After receiving the news, Bu Shengyan hurried back to the palace.
Luo Yechen took the opportunity to act pitiful and finally revealed the fact that he secretly drank wine.
The relationship between the couple returned to what it was before.
Xiao Xixi returned to the palace.
Then Yunxiu Palace summoned Imperial Physician Fang.
The emperor also put aside his official duties and rushed to Yunxiu Palace to visit the imperial concubine.
Soon everyone in the palace knew that the imperial concubine was ill.
Some people secretly inquired about the reason why the imperial concubine fell ill, and soon found out that the imperial concubine was assassinated outside the palace. The imperial concubine must have fallen ill due to excessive fright. As for the assassins, they were all dead and no one knew where they came from.
In Yunxiu Palace.
Xiao Xixi was leaning on the couch, holding a cup of hot milk tea in her hand, drinking it with relish.
She was wearing a loose skirt and had no makeup on her face. Because there was a floor heating in the house, the temperature was quite high, so her little face was rosy and she looked very healthy, not at all sick.
Fang Wujiu was sitting on a low couch beside him, holding a cup of wolfberry and chrysanthemum tea in his hand, looking relaxed and at ease.
This was the scene Luo Qinghan saw when he walked in.
Xiao Xixi and Fang Wujiu stood up to greet him.
Luo Qinghan first looked Xixi over, and seeing that she was safe and sound, he was completely relieved.
He sat down on the couch and asked in a deep voice.
"what is going on?"
Xiao Xixi had just told Fang Wujiu what had happened, and now she had to repeat it again.
Luo Qinghan frowned after hearing what she said.
"So, those assassins were actually targeting you?"
Xiao Xixi: "That should be the case. The assassination of the King of England was just to attract attention and make the matter as big as possible."
This would explain why they dared to assassinate and kill people in broad daylight.
Generally, assassins will try to kill people when there are fewer people around to avoid complications.
But the fifteen assassins did the opposite, obviously on purpose.
Fang Wujiu: "So you asked people to kill those assassins?"
Xiao Xixi: "The situation was urgent at the time, and I couldn't find a better solution. Since those assassins were coming for me, they must have prepared a confession long ago. Once they are caught, they will definitely find ways to throw dirty water on me. I can't give them this opportunity."
Fang Wujiu: "Just wait. Tomorrow there will be an official who will impeach you, saying that you are tyrannical and allow your personal guards to kill people at will."
Xiao Xixi: "I can't hear them anyway, no matter what they say."
