"ah......"
Li Zhaoming only screamed half-heartedly and wanted to turn his head, but all he saw was a bright flash of sword light, and Liuyang Leader rolled down instantly, with disbelief and fear still on his face.
Lin Chong suppressed his excitement, grabbed the little prince in his hands, and flew towards Cao Bin.
Cao Bin had already expected this when he saw Lin Chong carrying Yang Zhi's family heirloom sword.
His previous threats with bows and arrows were only to attract Li Zhaoming's attention and create opportunities for Lin Chong.
After all, Li Zhaoming himself has good martial arts skills, and he is among the personal guards, so it is not easy to sneak attack on him.
Seeing Lin Chong's success at this time, Cao Bin immediately shouted:
"Hurry up and get someone to pick you up..."
It was not until this moment that Li Zhaoming's personal guards realized what was happening. They wanted to kill Lin Chong in revenge, but Cao Bin knocked down six of them with six consecutive arrows.
At the same time he shouted loudly:
"Cao Bin is here. Don't move any troops. If you do, you will be killed immediately!"
Such a sharp shot had frightened most of the people. The Imperial Guards also remembered Cao Bin's reputation and hesitated when they saw that Li Zhaoming was dead.
Some veterans who participated in the Northern Expedition even threw away their weapons.
Even Li Zhaoming's personal guards were a little depressed and were not as ferocious as before.
At this time, Feng Yihan and the other two had already taken the first step in the sedan chair, picked up the baby in their arms, and used the technique of lightening to help the harrier fly up and return to Cao Bin.
Afterwards, the sedan chair and others also arrived like menaces and joined Lin Chong.
"Abandon your weapons to avoid death, and those who resist will be shot without mercy!"
As all the forbidden troops threw down their weapons and a dozen guards committed suicide, the mutiny was finally suppressed.
At this time, Lin Chong walked up to Cao Bin, bowed deeply, cupped his hands and said:
"Master Hou, Lin Chong lived up to his mission and killed the traitor."
Even though he suppressed the expression on his face, you could still see the excitement in his eyes.
For more than half a year, he has been saddled with a false reputation as a cuckold and ridiculed by everyone.
But everything was worth it, because this reputation allowed him to gain Li Zhaoming's huge trust, and he now had the opportunity to save the prince.
This is the future emperor, and his future is bound to be a meteoric rise. Didn't you see Yang Zhi showing a strong feeling of envy?
Cao Bin patted his shoulder and said with a smile:
"Okay, General Lin has done a good job. I will personally take the credit for you!"
At this time, everyone was stunned.
They didn't expect that the development of things would be so dramatic, and they didn't even dare to rehearse it like this in the script.
Could it be that this guy would have rebelled against Li Zhaoming more than half a year ago?
Taijun She could not help but admire:
"I didn't expect that Marquis Zhongjing had such foresight. He had already discovered Li Zhaoming's ambition and sent General Lin to lurk."
Upon hearing this, Cao Bin showed a proud smile and said:
"That bastard Li Zhaoming doesn't look like a good person at first sight, yet he still wants to slander General Lin's wife. It's ridiculous!"
"I am not that kind of person at all. What happens now? General Lin has proven my innocence!"
Seeing him like this, everyone couldn't help but secretly complain.
The more he said this, the more people felt that he was suspicious. Some people even suspected that it was Lin Chong's special hobbies that were satisfied by Cao Bin, which made him determined to follow Cao Bin.
They didn't care much about Cao Bin's advance planning.
After all, this is a bit exaggerated. Even if you seek a saint, you won't be so precise in your calculations.
In fact, Cao Bin didn't want to be in the limelight in the city. Lin Chong was just a casual move for him, just to take advantage of Li Zhaoming.
He didn't expect it to have such an effect...
Taijun She was a little confused and glanced at Cao Bin. After thinking thoughtfully for a long time, she finally sighed and said no more.
At this time, Kou Zhun glanced at the little prince who was still crying, and said with deep thoughts:
"Well, now that the rebellion has been put down, let me report the good news to Your Majesty!"
With the incident of forced palace, everyone completely gave up on King Duan.
Although there is no concrete evidence that he was involved in this matter, there is no way to escape suspicion. In any case, he is not suitable to be an heir anymore.
Therefore, except for Cai Jing, who had ugly expressions, most of the people relaxed.
When everyone returned to Funing Hall, no one dared to say anything about the kidnapping of the young prince. The emperor only thought that the rebellion was suppressed by force.
He just looked at his son, grinning from ear to ear, never getting tired of it. After an unknown amount of time, his face gradually became colder, and he looked at the ministers and said:
"Li Zhaoming conspired to rebel. He is guilty of an unforgivable crime. He ordered the Kaifeng Prefecture to confiscate his family property and barbarize the three tribes..."
Then he said:
"Pan Renmei!"
"I order you to be the special envoy to strictly investigate Li Zhaoming's accomplices... No, you go ask Prince Duan on my behalf and ask him if he instigated Li Zhaoming!"
After hearing the first half of the emperor's words, the ministers were almost frightened to death.
Li Zhaoming is related to Wang Yanling, Kou Zhun, Cai Jing, and Prince Duan. If he is involved, more than half of the people in the court will disappear.
After all, the emperor did not dare to be so cruel, but King Duan was definitely finished.
Let Pan Renmei check, is he still okay?
Seeing that the emperor only wanted to check Prince Duan, even Cai Jing breathed a sigh of relief and was secretly glad.
Thanks to Kou Zhun and others who came forward, they distracted the emperor's attention from him, and he didn't jump too high on the surface.
As long as the emperor doesn't act cruelly, he can escape.
It was impossible to escape unscathed. He was also prepared to dissipate his family wealth and be demoted from the capital.
If Pan Renmei can be bought in place, the worst she can do is to hide in a remote place for a few years. As long as she saves her life, there may not be no chance of a comeback in the future.
Just when he was secretly rejoicing, he saw Cao Bin holding up his hands and walking out of the queue:
"Your Majesty, I want to report Cai Jing."
"King Duan's fight for the throne and Li Zhaoming's rebellion were all planned by Cai Jing..."
When Cai Jing heard this, he couldn't hold himself any longer. He quickly fell to his knees and shouted:
"Your Majesty, this is an injustice. Cao Bin is such a slanderous person, and he is so unfair to me."
"I dare to swear that I know nothing about Li Zhaoming. I am not familiar with Prince Duan..."
At this moment, his heart was broken. He didn't expect Cao Bin to be so direct and report him, "Can you have some authority?"
Aren't you afraid of causing public outrage and backlash?
Besides, he really didn't know about Li Zhaoming's forced concubine beforehand. This is a complete slander.
Cao Bin ignored him. He had a grudge with Cai Jing for a long time. If he missed such a good opportunity to kill him, he would feel sorry for the ancestors of the Cao family, so he said without hesitation:
"Wei Chen dares to vouch for the good reputation of the Cao family, and Cai Jing is the mastermind."
"He also wants to poison the prince. If you don't believe me, please investigate further."
Anyway, he didn't care about his reputation, and once the investigation started, Cai Jing couldn't escape. As long as Cai Jing was found guilty, how could anyone hold him accountable for slandering him?
Cao Bin is not afraid of causing public outrage. If he reports Cai Jing's serious crime of killing nine tribes, no one will and dare not regard Cai Jing as the same person.
Hearing this, Cai Jing was almost frightened to death and roared:
"Cao Bin, you are talking nonsense, I will fight with you..."
Just as he was about to jump up and fight Cao Bin, an old eunuch came to report:
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. King Duan took the Queen Mother hostage and escaped from the palace."
Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect such a thing to happen. What kind of operation was this?
The emperor waved his hand impatiently and said:
"Come here, take Cai Jing into custody and interrogate him strictly..."
