The ugly time is approaching, and Kyoto is particularly lively tonight.
In order to celebrate His Majesty's birthday, Kyoto even opened a partial curfew today.
Many people have experienced this rare nighttime beauty outside before.
Teahouses, restaurants and even some brothels and flower boats were especially crowded tonight.
But as the news of His Majesty's assassination came in the palace, everyone returned to their families in the shortest possible time.
Only the soldiers of the city defense army and Jing Zhaoyin's police officers were left, continuing to patrol the streets to ensure that there would be no more trouble in Kyoto.
Under night.
Wang Lei brought some of the Supervisory Heaven Guards from the Supervisory Heaven Division, as well as soldiers from the city defense army.
The group of people headed towards the location of Xingyong Hou's Mansion in a mighty manner. At the same time, all the officials' mansions involved in the case were attended by personnel from Supervisor Tiansi or Jing Zhaoyin.
During this period, Zhao Yueming had already identified many people involved in the case, and the evidence was quite complete.
It's just that tonight's plan was supposed to go smoothly, but Wei Guo's spies found a loophole, and it almost went wrong.
But it was precisely because of this incident that all operations became extremely smooth. No one dared to touch His Majesty's troubles at this time and try Jian Tiansi's blade.
Xingyonghou Mansion.
Although it was already late at night, the house was still brightly lit at this moment.
It's already this time, and the old lady and the others haven't come back yet, which makes Grandma Zhou and others feel more and more worried.
Coupled with the discovery that something was wrong with Zhang Yuhang, Xiao Ma's departure, and even Bai Zhan's mother and son could not be found, they cast an inexplicable shadow in their hearts.
"What happened? Why is there such a big movement?"
In the backyard, Liu Shirui and Aunt Zhou were sitting together. When they heard the noise coming from the front yard, they couldn't help but ask curiously.
Aunt Zhou also frowned. Just as she was about to order someone to go out and investigate, she heard someone kicking open the backyard door.
"boom!"
The exploding wooden door suddenly flew into pieces.
Immediately afterwards, a group of Supervisory Heaven Guards and city defense army soldiers in official uniforms poured in along the gate.
"Who are you, who dare to break into our Xingyonghou Mansion and act wildly without restraint?"
As the daughter of the Xingyong Hou Mansion, Liu Shirui may not be qualified for the job, but the arrogance of this aristocratic family is clearly displayed to outsiders.
Wang Lei walked out slowly from the back and couldn't help but laugh when he saw Liu Shirui pretending to be calm even though she was nervous.
"Are you Liu Shirui?"
This was the first time he met this woman, but when he thought of what this woman had done, he didn't have the slightest fondness for her.
The entire Hou Mansion, once a loyal and brave family, is about to face the tragic end of being wiped out because of this one person.
A person with a good background was beaten to pieces by her.
"I am exactly that. Who are you? Why did you break into my Xingyonghou Mansion to commit murder? At the feet of the Emperor, aren't you afraid of His Majesty's thunderous wrath?"
Although she was scared inside, she was almost the only person in charge in the entire Hou Mansion at this moment, and she could not continue to retreat.
Wang Lei shouted: "His Majesty was assassinated tonight, and the Supervisor Tiansi was ordered to investigate the case thoroughly. Dali Temple, Jing Zhaoyin, and the Criminal Department were assisted.
After investigation, it was found that the Xingyong Hou Mansion colluded with the spies of the Wei State with the intention of killing the king. His crime should be punished.
Now, all the people will be taken to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, waiting for processing.
Those who dare to disobey and resist arrest with weapons will be shot without mercy. "
Hearing the news that the assassin king had killed the driver, Liu Shirui could no longer hold back, and immediately argued: "No, you must have made a mistake. How could our Marquis Mansion be involved in such a thing?"
As an educated young lady from an aristocratic family, she knew very well what would happen if someone involved in such a heinous act as assassinating the king and killing the king.
No one can bear such an ending.
Seeing Liu Shirui's appearance, Wang Lei took a step forward, took out the evidence he had already grasped from his sleeve, threw it on the ground, and said: "After investigation, Liu Ping of the Marquis Xingyong's mansion went to the Wei Kingdom many times to spy on Bai Zhonghai. Liulifang.
Spying with the enemy chief, this is a record of the secret letters that have been found between them. The above mentioned and written are all irrefutable evidence. In addition, the Liu family has smuggled iron with the Wei State many times in the local area, seeking to obtain Huge profits, betraying Da Zhou intelligence, the crime should be punished. "
"No, it's impossible."
Liu Shirui picked up the information on the ground and looked at it carefully for a few times, then completely lost all her strength, slumped on the ground, and kept mumbling to herself.
"What are the specifics? Someone will try and convict him in the future. Now, take everyone in the house to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and wait for disposal."
"No, sir, you are from the Supervisory Department. My husband, Zhang Yuhang, also works in the Supervisory Department. For his sake, please show your favor to us."
When Liu Shirui heard that her whole wife would be imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, she immediately grabbed Wang Lei's thigh and wailed bitterly, hoping that this gentleman would spare them for Zhang Yuhang's sake.
It has to be said that Liu Shirui, who has reached this point, has lost all the judgment he should have and only has the instinct of survival.
Wang Lei sneered, if it weren't for Zhang Yuhang, you wouldn't have ended up like this.
The end of Xingyonghou Mansion has come.
"Don't be delusional. Although I have a close relationship with Zhang Qianhu, what you are involved in is the matter of assassinating the king and killing the driver. How can I be the one to make the final decision on such a major case?"
After speaking, Wang Lei lost the desire to continue talking, waved his hand, and was about to order people to escort all these people away.
Just when everyone was preparing to take action, Chen Kai, a member of the Hundred Households under Zhang Yuhang, stood up and said to Wang Qianhu: "Sir Qianhu, the prison of the Ministry of Punishment should be full at the moment. There are many people involved in the case tonight. I think it’s better to take these people to our Jiantiansi Prison for disposal.”
Wang Lei turned his head and glanced at Chen Kai. It was obvious that this was Zhang Yuhang's arrangement.
Just being able to hand over this kind of matter to Chen Kai shows that this person has gained Zhang Yuhang's trust.
"I'll do as you say. In addition, send an order to Jian Tianwei and Jing Zhaoyin in other mansions. The people involved in the case will be imprisoned in the prisons of the Criminal Department, Jian Tiansi, and Jing Zhaoyin according to the situation in each place. If he still can't be locked up, notify the prison in Dali Temple and be ready at any time."
As a participant in this major case, Wang Lei knows better than anyone how big his master's appetite is this time, and there are more than just Fanfan involved in the case.
"promise!"
Chen Kai turned around and immediately ordered the people around him to convey Wang Qianhu's order.
A captain of the city defense army on the other side stood up and said with cupped hands: "Master Qianhu, this Xingyonghou Mansion is different from other civil servants. They are military generals and one of the four princes and eight princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Those who are qualified to raise their own private soldiers, according to the ancestral system, should have three hundred private soldiers, how should they deal with them?"
Wang Lei waved his hand: "My Supervisor Tiansi has already arranged this matter, so you don't have to worry.
Next, dig up three feet of the ground of this Marquis' Mansion, and don't let go of any doubts. I want to thoroughly investigate this former Marquis' Mansion. I want to see how many things we don't know are hidden in it. "
