In the early hours of the morning, the waning moon still hangs high.
All the people at the west gate of the Great Shang Imperial City had left, leaving only a few corpses on the ground, which were taken away by the city guards not long after.
It's not yet dawn, but there are already many people on the streets of the Dashang Imperial City, some of them are city guards patrolling and searching, and all of them have cautious expressions on their faces. Many people died last night, and some of them are in the The high-ranking ministers of the big business, and some of them are outside cultivators. The big business has a lot of people who come and go in the big city on weekdays, and there are also local residents. The sudden killing made these people feel that the big business It seems that things are going to be uneven, and the smell of blood in the air is undoubtedly telling them that the sky here is about to change.
Not long after, Dashang suddenly announced the closure of the city, and all the four city gates in four directions were closed to enter, and no one could enter without going out. A large number of soldiers were hoarded on the city gates and city walls.
When the wind blows, it is always telling that something may have happened to Dashang.
Closing the city was an order from the First Prince Yan Zhenming.
The loss of manpower last night made Yan Zhenming a little anxious. He didn't know if anyone would continue to attack the courtiers of his line. If there was any loss, it would undoubtedly be a big deal for him. Therefore, Yan Zhenming ordered the city guards to seal off the city as soon as the sky dawned.
In the fifth prince's mansion, Yan Zhenyun has already started talking with his staff, the uncle of Tiandaomen and several ministers who are close to him. They are discussing the matter of last night. The information was collected with embarrassment.
"Last night, seven of the courtiers of the First Prince's line were killed, including Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of War. Those who killed people in the past had a very high level of cultivation, at least far beyond what their guards could match. It is said that There was a strong man in the Dao stage who couldn't stop him, and finally at the gate of the west city, it seemed that one of the deputy hall masters of the Taixu Hall was seriously injured"
"The key point is that more than one person saw it with their own eyes. Many of them were wearing clothes similar to those of Tiandaomen, and they were clearly coming for us."
"One more point, several people in the mansion died, and the place of death was outside the courtyard of a minister's house. A total of five people were all killed. Before I clicked on the people in the mansion, I found that six were missing, but there were only five bodies. The other one is missing, I don't know who did it, logically speaking, it shouldn't be those who assassinated the First Prince's lineage, after all, we didn't lose anything last night, only these five people were killed."
Yan Zhenyun frowned and asked, "Where did he die?"
"Beside the side door of Zhao Haicheng's house, there was obviously a fight before he died"
"Who is the missing person?"
"Bao Ping, a deputy captain in the guard"
Yan Zhenyun closed his eyes, and said slowly: "Don't think about it, the one who killed them should be the First Prince's person. If I'm not mistaken, the missing one should have been sent to his residence by now."
No need to think about it, Yan Zhenyun at this time has already realized that what happened yesterday was aimed at the eldest prince on the surface, but in fact, it got him in behind the scenes, and tightly buckled the top of his head. Start with a strong hat.
Several people who were targeting Tiandaomen also saw the problem, and someone asked: "We should go and explain the situation to the eldest prince, we shouldn't take the blame."
Yan Zhenyun sighed, shook his head and said: "It's too late, it's useless. The first thing is that the guard must have been taken to the First Prince's mansion whether he was dead or alive. This is the evidence. Another point, Even if the eldest prince knows that this is a trap and that I am responsible for others, even if he believes it, he will choose not to believe it!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all came to their senses, that's right, the First Prince already has the evidence that Yan Zhenyun sent people to kill people, so he can completely assume that Yan Zhenyun did it, and he just took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey. Then he started to accuse or even take action against the fifth prince, so why not take down an opponent so easily, this completely reduced the number of people who could compete with him for the throne.
This is pretending to be confused while pretending to understand.
"Then who is going to do this? It not only framed you but also weakened the strength of the eldest prince. This kind of killing two birds with one stone is only good for two people, the third prince and Yan Ruyu. There is no news about the eldest princess yet, so it is not possible for the three Did the prince send someone to do it?"
Yan Zhenyun shook his head and said: "It is very unlikely that it is him. He originally had some strength to compete for the position, but recently the third prince has died down and has not made any moves, so I guess it cannot be him, but I think I don't understand what the other party didThe reason, even if it is to frame me, and the eldest prince must have a vigilant mind, isn't this tantamount to scaring the snake, unless"
Yan Zhenyun's analysis was gradually being drawn out by him into a clear line, and Yan Zhenyun vaguely realized that there was another deep meaning behind it.
"It's false to frame us, and it's false to weaken the First Prince." Yan Zhenyun said in astonishment: "No, no, what we thought before was all wrong. The other party's intention to do this is to make the First Prince mistakenly think that I want to marry you after framing me." If you want to seize the opportunity in advance, then with Yan Zhenming's suspicious temperament, he will definitely be unable to hold back"
After a while, the fifth prince's mansion was full of wind and clouds, and he began to mobilize all his forces to prevent the possible changes that might happen today.
At the same time, Yan Zhenming's house had already interrogated the captured guard, and the guard admitted that he was leading someone to kill Lord Zhao Haicheng without much resistance. Yan Zhenming almost thought that the fifth prince wanted to do it in advance Of course, someone in Yan Zhenming's staff team also expressed whether this was a way of framing, but Yan Zhenming really became suspicious, thinking that he would rather believe it than believe it.
"The other party's attack last night was very powerful, and the technique used was unheard of. It has no similarity with the Tiandaomen's technique that I know." Liang Jingyu's face was a little pale. Last night, when he fought against the other party, he suffered a lot. At the same time, he also realized that the man seemed to have no intention of fighting for a long time, otherwise it would be difficult to say whether he would be able to stand here.
Yan Zhenming said with flickering eyes: "The fifth prince should not have this strength. If it wasn't him, who could it be?"
