The two of them discussed it and decided to lure the snake out of its hole.
After dealing with the assassin, the two left the scene.
Now that Shi Wushuang has seen them, Yunlu Pavilion will definitely not dare to act rashly again.
Even if there are assassins hiding, Lin Yue can deal with them easily.
When Ye was assassinated, he was very angry.
He called all the officials over and said, "This is the place under your jurisdiction? There are so many bad guys hiding here.
Give this prince a reasonable explanation!
Otherwise, I will report you to the court and hold you accountable for your crimes."
The Governor and Wei Guang originally thought that assassinating Ye would be easy.
I never expected that I would fail even though I was so well prepared.
There was panic in the eyes of both of them.
The prince was assassinated in front of them, with extremely serious consequences.
The court will definitely investigate.
If the assassination was carried out, everything would be easy; they could just put the blame on the assassin.
They could even find the bodies of the Annan people to exchange for the killed assassins.
In doing so they would be merely dereliction of duty.
Now the situation is different
Since Ye was still alive, he apparently asked someone to dispose of the assassin's body.
What they will actually do is unknown.
Maybe he just said that on purpose and sent someone to investigate secretly.
All the officials involved in the assassination racked their brains and began to think about whether there was any evidence left.
How to keep yourself out of it.
Some people were even frightened to the point of breaking out in sweat.
"It is my fault. I didn't know there was an assassin lurking in.
Please punish me, Your Highness!"
The Governor knew that it was useless to argue at this point.
Just take the blame directly.
At least as a prince, he does not have the power to take down a governor.
He had to find an opportunity to make amends as soon as possible, especially to notify the prince to speak for him in the court.
“However, in my opinion, these people attacked His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince as soon as they appeared.
Most likely an Annamitian!
After all, Your Highness has just destroyed the Kingdom of Annan, and there must be some people who are unwilling to accept defeat.
So I vented all my anger on His Highness."
The Governor quickly turned his attention outward.
With a sneer on his face, Yuye stared at him closely: "There are still some differences between the Annam people and us Dayuan people.
It will be clear if we check whether he is an Annan assassin.
However, there is one thing that this prince is still a little uneasy about, and I need you to give me a reasonable explanation."
The governor's heart skipped a beat, realizing that Ye was not as easy to fool as they had thought.
His excuse is completely flimsy and can be easily verified.
After hearing what Ye asked, he could only bite the bullet and answer: "Your Highness, please feel free to ask. As long as it is something I know, I will tell you everything."
Ye stared at him and asked, "All the craftsmen on site have been carefully selected and screened, and they are guaranteed by people from the same village.
And every day when we start work, we will go in and confirm it again.
There is absolutely no way an outsider assassin could sneak in.
However, these assassins not only infiltrated among the craftsmen, but also came to the place where this prince inspected.
If there is no traitor, how could it not be discovered?"
The officials at the scene were shocked when they heard this. They didn't expect that Ye would use such a trick.
They were even more certain that Ye had set a trap for them from the very beginning.
The assassination had already been planned.
As this was a capital crime punishable by death for the entire family, every negotiation was conducted with extreme caution.
How could it possibly be leaked?
At this moment, they all felt that Emperor Xuanzong was so terrifying that he was playing with these officials in his hands.
The Governor and Wei Guang could no longer remain calm.
They were all sweating profusely due to nervousness.
"I don't know anything about this! I just started working on the job last night and I don't understand any of this!"
"If Your Highness had informed us earlier, I would have conducted a thorough investigation.
We will never let these assassins in."
"You are truly worthy of being the Governor-General. Even now, you can still find excuses to shirk responsibility.
Who planted these people here? We'll find out with a quick investigation.
Let's see how long you can keep your stubbornness!"
Ye sneered repeatedly.
In order to prevent them from colluding with each other, he immediately ordered Zhao Wudi: "Come here, take them all away and lock them up separately!
Until the matter is thoroughly investigated, they are not allowed to contact any outsiders."
This move of Ye stunned all the officials.
It further confirmed that Ye had been prepared for a long time.
Once they were authorized, they immediately used their power to place people in positions of power.
And I do it all myself.
I originally thought that as long as I assassinated him, no one would be able to find out the truth.
It was all too careless.
Wei Guang was extremely excited and shouted, "I am an imperial envoy appointed by the court, and the governor-general holds a provincial post.
Even if the prince has the power to imprison us.
What's more, everything Your Highness said is just speculation, without any evidence at all."
"Your Highness, do you still have any respect for the law when you do this? You've actually imprisoned all the officials of an entire province. How arrogant of you.
Even if the emperor himself were here, he wouldn't dare do such a thing."
"Hmph, even though you are a prince and an imperial envoy sent by the emperor himself, you can't do whatever you want.
I will report this matter to the court immediately.
Waiting for the court to send someone else to investigate.
From this moment on, I will never obey your Highness' orders again."
The Governor was also determined to continue the resistance.
After all, once they are imprisoned, it will be all over.
There is no one to stop or cover it up, so it can be easily investigated.
I'm going to die anyway, so I might as well fight to the end.
Maybe you can fight your way out.
"You're right! We are all officials of the imperial court, and His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince is too overbearing in his actions.
We must submit a joint memorial together."
The other officials were all timid and shouted threats at Ye.
When we were about to leave together.
Zhao Wudi led his men to block in front of him, holding the handle of the gun with his right hand.
As long as they give an order, they don't care about any officials.
Ye snorted coldly: "Please give me the Emperor's Sword!"
"The Emperor's Sword is bestowed upon you by the Emperor himself! Anyone who dares to disobey my orders will be killed immediately."
Ye issued a death order.
Only a swish sound was heard.
All the guards pulled out their genitals.
Seeing that Ye was actually serious about it, the official immediately lost his temper.
They all looked at him with fear on their faces.
"Your Highness, we have no grudge against you, why are you so cruel to us?
Is it possible that just because we are the Crown Prince's disciples, you are taking this opportunity to eliminate those who are dissidents?"
The governor is still being stubborn and is unwilling to be imprisoned no matter what.
Ye was too lazy to waste time talking to them. He waved his hand and gave the order: "Take them all away! We will soon know whether it is a false accusation or a case of exclusion."
Seeing all the officials being taken away, the people at the scene cheered enthusiastically.
They never thought that these corrupt officials would be punished one day.
I became more respectful towards Ye.
Only this prince is their only hope.
