at this time.
Emperor Xia took a deep look at the commander of the imperial army.
Then he closed his eyes, his face looked gloomy, as if he was suppressing some emotion!
The atmosphere in Tianxia Palace is getting more and more solemn!
The heads of the families were a little uneasy and turned their attention to Prime Minister Zuo Sima Jian!
They hope Sima Jian can give some instructions!
At this time, Sima Jian also looked surprised!
He looked at the strange sedan in the middle of the hall and hesitated, but finally no words came out!
Maybe, even after his son-in-law died, he had nothing to say!
The faces of all the family heads froze, as if they were sitting on pins and needles, the atmosphere was suffocating!
They looked at the strange sedan in the hall, gritted their teeth and comforted themselves secretly: "He is dead! Don't be afraid!"
"The emperor will not attack a dead man!"
Waiting makes them suffer!
But we can only wait!
At this time, the solemn atmosphere in Tianxia Palace reached its peak, and it was so quiet that it was chilling!
at this time.
The emperor opened his eyes: "Is the Minister of Punishment here?"
"I'm here!"
The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment stood up, as if he knew what Emperor Xia wanted to ask, and took the initiative to report: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Punishment is now pursuing the murderer with all its strength. As long as there are no problems with the deployment and control of the patrol camp in the imperial capital and the assassin is not allowed to leave the city, I will definitely be able to catch the assassin and bring him to justice. Law!"
A look of disappointment flashed across Emperor Xia's face.
This "push" tactic was already used very well by the officials of the Great Xia Dynasty!
The Minister of Punishment felt nervous!
Will the emperor rain down the wrath of thunder?
but no!
After Emperor Xia was silent for a moment, he turned around and asked, "Where will the patrol camp of the imperial capital be?"
"I'm here!"
The Imperial City Patrol Battalion also guessed what Emperor Xia was asking, and proactively said: "Your Majesty, the Imperial City Patrol Battalion has been searching the entire city. As long as the assassin has not left the city, my Imperial City Patrol Battalion will definitely be able to catch the assassin!"
The look in the emperor's eyes became increasingly cold: "Where is the defense camp of the imperial capital?"
The imperial capital city defense camp generals came out: "I am here!"
The Imperial City Defense Camp is the outer defense line of the Imperial Capital. He said with no explanation: "Your Majesty, the Imperial City Defense Camp has surrounded the Imperial Capital like an iron barrel. If the assassin is not a half-step land god, he will not be able to leave the Imperial Capital. city!"
Having said this, the Imperial City Defense Camp gasped a little: "But if the assassins are half-step land gods, I hope the four major military camps outside the Imperial Capital can stop them!"
"The general of the city defense battalion is shirking his responsibility!"
One of the four major battalion generals in the imperial capital arrived: "Your Majesty, our four major battalions in the imperial capital have sent out elite soldiers and strong generals to set up checkpoints. However, if the assassin is a half-step land god, we will not be able to stop him outside the empty imperial capital. Your majesty, please be careful. !”
"I cannot bear the responsibility of letting the assassin go!"
His words were very clear. Catching the assassin was a matter for the Criminal Department, the Imperial Capital Patrol Battalion, and the Imperial Capital City Defense Battalion, not the four major battalions of the Imperial Capital. He was not responsible for letting the assassin go!
Emperor Xia asked around, and his face became more and more ugly as he listened!
Sima Jian secretly glanced at "Long Yan" and thought to himself: "These idiots have already touched the emperor's inverse scale by shirk-shipping the blame like this!"
really.
"Hahaha......"
Emperor Xia stood up and sneered again and again: "What a minister of the Ministry of punishment! What a general of the imperial capital patrol camp! What a good general of the imperial capital city defense camp!"
"I understand what you all mean... If the assassin who assassinated King Huangzhou cannot be caught, none of you will be responsible, right?"
No one dared to reply!
Emperor Xia knew that they did not dare to respond, and he was furious: "There are assassins sneaking into the city, but you are not aware of them. There are assassins who assassinate the princes of the dynasty, the princes of the dynasty, and the prime minister of the dynasty. You are not aware of them. After the assassins succeed in the assassination, you also arrest them." If you don't have assassins, you say...what use do I need from you?"
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
The ministers were so frightened that they knelt down quickly: "I am terrified!"
At this time, the house owners who were watching did not dare to speak!
At this moment, Emperor Xia really wanted to kill someone.
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
Sima Jian reminded: "Your Majesty, they don't want this to happen. Give them some time!"
"Because of the prince's assassination, the capital city is in chaos tonight... There can be no more chaos!"
Emperor Xia closed his eyes, calmed down his emotions, and said against his will: "I will give you three days. If the murderer of King Huangzhou cannot be caught, you can take the initiative to resign!"
"According to the order!"
Everyone was overjoyed!
The emperor gave them three days to catch the murderer, which meant that the emperor would not be serious with them. As long as they handed over the scapegoat after three days, they could keep their official positions!
Sure enough, the emperor would not fall out with them over a dead prince!
They made the right bet!
at this time.
Emperor Xia said aggrievedly: "Someone, please carry the body of the Ninth Prince down!"
"This is a night banquet, not a mourning hall. One thing comes to another. Let's celebrate tonight!"
"According to the order!"
The golden-armored imperial army has entered and wants to escort the Huangzhou guards to carry the sedan away!
at this time.
The commander of the imperial army said: "Your Majesty, I have just received a secret report from outside the city. The Huangzhou guards were brutally assassinated because of their master. After Mrs. Zhang and the head of the Zhang family left the mansion, they had already invaded the Zhang Mansion and killed Zhang. The house was filled with blood, and heads were rolling in. Zhang’s house... was massacred!"
"What?"
Even though the emperor was very scheming, he couldn't help but be shocked: "Did they really massacre the Zhang family?"
"yes!"
The commander of the Forbidden Army said with a solemn expression: "The reason why the Huangzhou guards attacked the Zhang Mansion is...the assassin was sent by the Zhang family, and the Zhang family ordered the killing of the King of Huangzhou."
"What?"
Emperor Xia's eyes sparkled with light!
Those guards in Huangzhou are really good!
They did not let Xiaojiu down!
They are all good soldiers!
"Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for us!"
When Madam Zhang and the head of the Zhang family heard this, they were so shocked that they almost collapsed to the ground. They jumped out with some mental breakdown and said: "Your Majesty, this is such a huge injustice!"
"Your Majesty must make the decision for us!"
Immediately afterwards.
The heads of the Duanmu family, the Liu family, the Liu family, the Nangong family, and the Lin family whose mansions had been occupied came out with pained expressions on their faces: "Your Majesty, the Huangzhou guards have also occupied our five mansions without any evidence. Please make the decision, Your Majesty." !”
"Your Majesty, please make the decision!"
At this time, the commander of the Forbidden Army said meaningfully: "Your Majesty, five family heads, the situation of your five families is not that they are occupied, but... the Huangzhou guards are killing you inside, and they have killed five of you. The house is full of heads and blood is flowing like a river!"
"What?"
The head of the five major deacons collapsed to the ground and almost fainted from fright: "Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for us!"
"The assassination of King Huangzhou really has nothing to do with us!"
All the heads of the families were united in anger: "Your Majesty, please make the decision for each family!"
The Huangzhou guards are really looking for death!
Just take advantage of their massacre of the Six Prefectures to eradicate it!
at this time.
Emperor Xia was very happy!
He comforted him and said, "Don't worry, family heads. The guards in Huangzhou have no laws. I will issue an order and order them to withdraw from each government and give you an explanation!"
Mrs. Zhang said unwillingly: "Your Majesty, the Huangzhou guards massacred members of my six families for no reason, which is tantamount to rebellion. Please order your majesty to arrest them and give my six families justice!"
"good!"
Seeing Mrs. Zhang in such pain, Emperor Xia felt even more happy: "I will definitely give your six families justice!"
"After hearing the order, the imperial army immediately dispatched to capture the Huangzhou guards and brought their general before me. I want to interrogate him personally... Why did we massacre the six families?"
"According to the order!"
The commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army issued the decree, but he did not move at all!
Emperor Xia frowned: "Why don't you go?"
This is also the doubt of the family owners!
The commander of the imperial army pointed to the sedan next to him: "Your Majesty, his generals are already here!"
"What?"
The whole palace was shocked!
Isn't the corpse of King Huangzhou in the sedan chair?
Immediately, all eyes in the palace turned to the strange sedan... Who was inside?
