"Your Majesty, I realize my mistake, and I promise I will never dare to do it again!"
Xiao San stretched out his hand, and when he was about to pick up the fold, he stopped and quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
"Put Xiao San into death row, and the Queen will be beheaded!"
Listening to Xiao San begging for mercy, Chongzhen closed his eyes in disappointment, waved his hand and said to He Yi.
"Come here, put Xiao San on death row!"
He Yi quickly signaled to the imperial guards to take the person down.
"Haha, you forced me!"
Hearing that he was going to be beheaded, Xiao San couldn't bear it anymore. Anyway, the thief was also a knife, and the shrinking head was also a knife. He might as well fight hard, maybe there would be a chance to survive.
He knocked back the imperial army with two punches, and then looked at Chongzhen who was sitting on the dragon throne. As long as he captured the emperor as a hostage, he would definitely be able to escape.
"Escort!"
He Yi, who was directly in front of Xiao San, saw what Xiao San wanted to do, and quickly shouted outside the hall, then opened his hands to block the middle.
Wang Chengen also took action to stop him, and he struggled with Xiao San, watching the forbidden troops outside trying to rush in.
Xiao San saw that there was nothing he could do about Wang Chengen in a short time. If this continued, it would only be a matter of time before he was caught.
He dodged Wang Chengen's attack and quickly rushed towards Chongzhen on the dragon throne.
Sitting on the dragon chair, Chongzhen didn't have any panic in his eyes, he just watched everything quietly.
"Your Majesty, you forced me to do this!"
Xiao San's hand was about to pinch Chongzhen's neck, and Xiao San said to him with a proud smile on his face.
"Yeah?"
Looking at Xiao San who was so close, Chongzhen didn't even move. Then he took out a repeating crossbow, activated the mechanism, and a series of arrows hit Xiao San's chest.
Xiao San, who was hit by a cluster of arrows, lowered his head and looked at his chest in disbelief. He did not expect that he would die like this.
He spit out a mouthful of blood and poured it directly on the dragon case.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?"
He Yi quickly came to Chongzhen's side and asked him anxiously.
"It's okay, just tidy up this place."
Chongzhen put down his repeated crossbow, gave He Yi instructions, got up and walked out of the hall.
"Go and clean up his people, I don't want any more trouble!"
"As you command!"
...
"Your Majesty, when I brought Xiao San into the palace just now, I saw King Dingbei returning to the capital. He said he wanted to visit you in the palace."
After disposing of Xiao San's body, He Yi quickly found Chongzhen and talked about Hu Yunqing.
"Why is he coming back? Didn't he say he was going to sea?"
Hearing that Hu Yunqing was back, Chongzhen was also a little surprised. After all, he said he was leaving at that time, and then suddenly came back, which made him confused.
"Your Majesty, I have heard some rumors recently. Something happened at the shipyard in Weihai. Could it be related to this matter?"
Just now, Long Wei reported to him and talked about Weihai. The shipyard was what Hu Yunqing valued most.
When Hu Yunqing returned to Beijing this time, he couldn't help but connect the two things together.
"What happened at the shipyard?"
Hearing that it was related to the shipyard incident, He Yi had just received the news and had no time to say anything. Chongzhen also knew the importance of the shipyard to Hu Yunqing.
"This is the news sent back by Long Wei."
Then He Yi took out a note from his arms and put it in the emperor's hand and said.
"Xiao San is really cheap!"
After reading the content on the note, Chongzhen was so angry that his teeth itched. He didn't expect to do such a thing.
Letting him die so easily was simply giving him an advantage.
"I still haven't seen Hu Yunqing. You can go find him and ask for anything."
He didn't expect such a big thing to happen, and Chongzhen was embarrassed to see Hu Yunqing. After all, Xiao San was promoted by himself and had known about the other party's problems for a long time.
This catastrophe was caused by the delay in dealing with it.
At this time, Hu Yunqing was in the East Factory, asking Xiao San's cronies what Xiao San had done.
Everyone looked at each other, knowing Xiao San's temper. If they spoke out, they would be dead.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen to you. Xiao San was taken away this time and may never come back again!"
Hu Yunqing knew the worries in these people's hearts, so he pretended to be calm and said to everyone.
"My lord, stop joking."
Everyone couldn't believe what Hu Yunqing said. After all, Xiao San was also the governor, so how could he not come back.
"My lord, I didn't expect you to be here. It's so easy for me to find you!"
He Yi, who was sent out by Chongzhen, couldn't find Hu Yunqing after searching for a long time. He thought of coming to Dongchang to look for someone, but he didn't expect to see him here.
"My lord, what are you doing?"
When he looked to the side, he found that Xiao San's personal guards were standing here, and asked Hu Yunqing with some confusion.
"I came to ask something, but they refused to tell me."
Hu Yunqing pointed at these people with some dissatisfaction and said.
"Xiao San is dead. Your Majesty has decreed that I should take charge of the East Factory. Now I am your governor!"
He Yi also understood the meaning of Xiao San's words, looked at the Jinyi guards and said.
Wow.
Hearing that Xiao San was dead, everyone's faces were filled with shock.
"Hurry up and tell me everything you know."
.......
With He Yi's help, he quickly got the news he wanted to know.
"Someone, take them all down!"
These Xiao San's cronies were all Xiao San's minions before, and they often did bad things for Xiao San. These people are uncertainties.
To prevent these people from being uncontrolled after Xiao San's death, let someone control them first.
"Duke, we are innocent."
"Your Majesty, when I left the palace just now, Your Majesty was not feeling well today. If you have anything to say, please tell me."
When Hu Yunqing and Huan were the only ones in the lobby, He Yi said to them with a smile.
"Do you know what I'm going to say? Your Majesty doesn't dare to see me!"
Now summarizing the information he had received, Hu Yunqing had a lot to ask Chongzhen at the moment, but after hearing what He Yi said, he stood up and asked a little dissatisfied with the quota.
"Well, your Majesty also knows that it was his misjudgment this time that led to today's situation. Your Majesty also said that if the prince has any requests, just ask him, and he is determined to do it."
The key to the accident at the shipyard this time was that Zhu Youxu was released from the palace by Chongzhen, which led to the royal palace being retaliated and causing heavy casualties.
"Then your Majesty means that I can do whatever I want with Zhu Youxu?"
Listening to Chongzhen asking him to make demands, he also knew that Chongzhen wanted to give him benefits to calm his anger.
But this time Zhu Youxu went too far. More than twenty people were killed and injured in the palace. Xiao Yi was still unconscious in bed, and Zhao Shuangshuang was injured. If he could endure this, then he would no longer be Hu Yunqing.
