Chapter 1221: Beyond the Script

Zhou Shuren shrank his neck, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible, looking around. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were wiped out, and basically all fell to the ground. It must be said that the Zhang family had a very serious plan. In order to survive, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty had to support Zhang Yang to succeed the throne!

Wang Ju didn't dare to say a word. The hall was too quiet. Her chubby hands held her father in one hand and Zhou Shuren in the other.

Zhou Shuren was exhausted. He couldn't move at all as several people were pulling at his official uniform.

The prince said sullenly, "The remnants of the Zhang family."

Gu Ren, no, Zhang Ren laughed, "I share the same blood with the royal family, we are the remnants, what is the emperor?"

The prince frowned, "My father removed the Zhang family from the family tree when he ascended the throne. The royal family has nothing to do with the Zhang family."

Zhang Ren was stunned. He really didn't know that the emperor would do this. How much he hated the blood in his body. Zhang Ren looked at the situation in the hall and laughed with pride, "Oh, this is not important. What's important is that we won."

The Zhang family had been planning for many years, but failed to realize their goal in the previous dynasty. Now they have picked up a ready-made one, a dynasty that is already showing signs of prosperity. Everything is worth it.

The King of Qi stared at Zhang Yang and said, "You are dreaming if you want to push Zhang Yang to succeed you."

Zhang Ren laughed, "No, no, it's not a dream anymore. The King of Qi and the King of Chu have been poisoned, the King of Liang has been seriously injured, the Crown Prince has become a turtle in a jar, and the only one left to succeed to the throne is the Fifth Prince."

Zhang Ren paused, pointing at the poisoned civil and military officials, "And they are all poisoned, and we are the only ones who have the antidote."

The wound on Prince Liang had been treated simply, but it was too deep. Even with the wound medicine he had with him, he could no longer move easily. Prince Liang's breathing was very light, and if it weren't for the rise and fall of his chest proving that he was alive, he would have seemed dead.

Because of the pillars blocking the way, no one noticed this place. Zhou Shuren listened to Zhang Ren's words and thought to himself that this time, everything would be cleaned up.

Being able to poison such a large area means that all the cards have been used.

At the Yaohou Mansion, Yao Wenqi had already entered the secret passage. The assassin beside him said, "Someone has caught up with the two young masters."

Yao Wenqi hummed. There was a bastard standing next to him. To him, the two younger ones were baits for him to escape from the beginning.

Yao Wenqi knew that he had lost and everything was under the control of the emperor. He knew in his heart that the emperor must know a lot about the Zhang family. Today he was more inclined to the emperor's victory.

At this time, the assassins who went to investigate came back and said, "The area ahead has been cleared, and all the troops are in the palace."

Yao Wenqi curled his lips. Today was such a mess. He had contributed a lot. All the people in the palace were handed over to the Zhang family. "Let's go."

After he finished speaking, he walked forward in the secret passage. The secret passage was like a maze and it was easy to get lost.

In the palace hall, the prince said quietly, "You are very confident."

Zhang Ren frowned. The prince's reaction was wrong. Shouldn't he panic at this moment? Why was he still so calm? He raised his hand and said, "Kill the prince and I will give you official titles and honors."

The prince smiled, and it was a beautiful smile. "I told you, you are too confident."

His confidence made him not want to make it difficult for himself to cooperate.

Zhang Ren narrowed his eyes and looked around vigilantly. The entire palace was already under his control. Looking at the unconscious King Liang, King Liang's troops were also withdrawn.

At this time, Zhang Yang said, "Brother Crown Prince is right, you are too confident."

As he spoke, applause broke out and Gu Wu walked in, holding the heads of Gu Er and others in his hands.

Prince, "......."

King Qi, "......"

King Chu, "......"

This is out of the script!

The prince felt tired and sat on the steps. Then he looked at Zhang Ren with his pupils constricted and Zhang Yang laughing crazily.

Zhang Ren understood everything. The talk of allying with King Liang, using King Liang as a knife, and using King Liang to cover up his tracks were all lies. The real person who used King Liang to cover up his tracks was Zhang Yang, who was a pawn who killed his master.

Zhang Yang played with the bloody dagger, "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Obviously, I am the final oriole. What do you want to say? You should think carefully. Now I am the master of the Fifth Prince's Mansion. Everyone has become my prisoner. Haha, is it surprising?"

Zhou Shuren, "......"

Unexpected, very unexpected, amazing, this drama has so many twists and turns and constant surprises.

The prince was in a state of confusion. He thought the incident would end with a big drama, but he never expected that Zhang Yang had captured the entire Zhang family!

The hill behind the mass grave outside the city is always eerie, especially the hill behind, which is the inspiration for various horror stories. There are many legends about the mass grave in the capital.

A stone on the hill behind the Burial Hill was slowly moving away, making an eerie sound that made people nervous even in the daytime.

Yao Wenqi curled the corners of his mouth. No one would have thought that the exit of the secret passage was here, but his smile froze as he stepped out of the secret passage.

The ones in sight were archers, and the first assassins who came out had already been poisoned and fell to the ground.

Yao Zheyu held a long sword in his hand and wore armor. "All the tricks were planned, but nothing happened."

Yao Wenqi's eyes were red. He had lost. He had indeed lost. He had no way out. "I shouldn't have kept you."

Yao Zheyu picked up the long sword, "There is no regret medicine."

Yao Wenqi listened to the people around him falling to the ground one after another, and even the bastard he had taken away was shot to death. In a few breaths, he was the only one left alive.

At this time, the archers stopped and everyone looked at Yao Zheyu.

Yao Zheyu has already stepped forward with a long sword.

Yao Wenqi's pupils shrank. He was the one who feared death the most. He staggered back, "You want to kill your father."

Yao Zheyu's eyes were indifferent. This was the chance the emperor gave him to live, and it was also the only chance to break away from the Yao family. Today was his chance to break away from the past. "Your crimes are unforgivable. Treason and changing the prince. Each of these crimes is a heinous crime punishable by the extermination of the entire clan. The emperor is merciful and will allow you to die quickly."

Yao Zheyu, "No, no, you can't kill me. I know, I know the secrets of the Zhang family, and I still have secrets to tell you."

Unfortunately, the answer came from the long sword in Yao Zheyu's hand.

Yao Zheyu watched the light in Yao Wenqi's eyes slowly disappear, "The emperor knows all about your retreat, not to mention the Zhang family."

Yao Wenqi stretched out his hand and grabbed Yao Zheyu's armor, "What will happen to the Yao family?"

Yao Zheyu's eyes were filled with pain. The Yao family was a large aristocratic family. There were good and bad people among them. Not all of them were bad, but they were treated the same. The emperor hated the Yao family to the core.

Yao Zheyu lowered his voice, "You should never, ever hand over this person to the Zhang family."

He clearly remembered that the emperor had said that he would convict individual members of the Yao family according to the crimes that were investigated, rather than convicting the entire family.

All he could think of was that the Queen was poisoned. When he saw the Emperor, the look in his eyes was murderous.

The light in Yao Wenqi's eyes completely disappeared, he let go of his hand and fell to the ground.

Yao Zheyu stood up straight and said, "Let's deal with it."

The one who came with Yao Zheyu today was the emperor's confidant. He looked at Yao Zheyu indifferently, and finally loosened his grip on the long sword. The emperor left him an oral order today: if Yao Zheyu had any doubts, kill him!

In the imperial palace, Zhang Wuxi, the patriarch of the Zhang family, has been brought into the main hall.

There was blood at the corner of Zhang Ren's mouth because he was unwilling to let it go on Zhang Yang's body.

Just now, he couldn't be moved by anyone's orders. "How did you do that?"
