Encounter Qin Shihuang on a deserted island

Chapter 471 The notification goes on, the whole city has a curfew.

"Zhao Jin, what's your opinion?"

After all the people in the lobby were dispersed, only Chang Yu, Fu Su and Zhao Jin were left.

Zhao Jin walked forward slowly, crouched beside the corpse and looked at it: "The dagger hit the heart, which means it's someone I know."

"They may have had some communication before the assassination." This is an obvious clue, nothing to delve into.

"It happened so suddenly that the official didn't react. Obviously it was also in the court... no, it was done by someone with an unusual status."

With the status of this official, it would certainly be unusual for an outsider to get so close.

"I speculate that this may have something to do with our recent actions." Zhao Jin stood up.

There was indeed nothing found on the corpse, and all valuable clues were on the surface.

The assassin had an unusual identity, and the fact that he could easily get close to the minister showed that it was done by his own people.

People in the court?Or...some people who have a grudge against him?What's more... it was done by the remnants of the party.

Chang Yu's actions during this period of time can be said to put everyone in the court officials at risk, for fear that they will implicate themselves.

Wandering in the field of interests all the year round, no matter whether they are big or small officials, they can't say that they are clean from mud.

According to what Zhao Jin said, some people are probably cleaning up, lest the rest will be found out.

There are more than a few hundred officials in the palace, and there must be a larger power network hidden among them.

It is impossible to uproot it, not to mention that with the current knowledge, there is still a big fish that has not yet surfaced.

In order to prevent certain things from happening, it is completely reasonable to survive with a broken arm.

The death of the official in front of him seemed to confirm this speculation.

The assassination at close range and the lack of resistance undoubtedly showed that there was a force behind the scenes cleaning up the group.

The purpose is to stabilize a larger network of interests, so as to continue to lurk in the top of the Qin Dynasty, waiting for the opportunity to move.

"I'm afraid this matter is a bit difficult to handle." Just thinking about it gives people a headache.

There are no clues, just a corpse, how can we find out who is behind the scenes?

Under such circumstances, all civil and military ministers in the court can be said to be murderers.

Their interests colluded regardless of each other. In this situation, finding the real murderer was even more difficult than going to the Xiongnu to discuss cooperation!
What is in front of me at this moment seems to be a fog, which cannot be opened or seen through, and people in the fog can kill them at any time.

Chang Yu doesn't think that the other party will just break his arms to survive, and if he has the chance, he will definitely clean himself up.

This is what they have always wanted to do since the very beginning when they appeared in Xianyang.

Fusu is by his side now, and Zhao Jin is by his side. This is still Xianyang City, and it is not easy to assassinate him, the Marquis.

However, there is no guarantee that those who hide in the dark will not act when given the opportunity.

Surrounding the corpse, nothing was explored, but another official came in a hurry.

"Report to Lord Hou, eldest son...another minister has been assassinated!" His terrified tone made them all gasp.

"Protect the scene!" he shouted to the palace guards outside the door, and immediately asked the officials to lead the way to the next assassination site.

The second... No, it should be said that the second minister who was found dead also held a considerable position.

The death situation was still similar to that of the first person discovered, with a bronze dagger stuck in his heart and died directly.

There was still no sign of struggling, and he was assassinated in an extremely relaxed posture.

It also shows that the person who was assassinated was someone they knew, or thought they wanted to give an account of.

But they never thought that the explanation given was to take away their lives... His expression was calm and aloof until his death.

Not long after, the third assassination case also came... The method of death was still the same, the dagger was stabbed in the chest and died.

In just half a stick of incense, officials came to report one after another... There is a depressive atmosphere spreading in Xianyang City.

When the news of the assassination of the third minister came, it was already confirmed that the other party was indeed cleaning up people who might be exposed in the court.

The big fish behind the scenes is afraid. These people betray them because they lack determination, and they are also confusing the situation to allow other big fish to hide better.

It can be said that the ministers who were assassinated were all small fish that were abandoned by them, and those who were really useful would be hidden by this.

There are more than a few hundred ministers in the palace, such a large number of people can't be guarded against, and they have fallen into extreme passivity from the very beginning!
If things go on like this, they will only be led by the nose, and when they reach a certain critical point...

The next place where the incident occurred was probably the time of death.

Because the other party knew... Chang Yu, the Hou Ye, was chasing after him.

For them, it is of course important to clean up small miscellaneous fish.

Even without Chang Yu, these little miscellaneous fish will be exposed at some point.

Abandoning them is also preserving others, and even setting up a bigger situation.

It can be said that the beginning of all this began when the remnants of the Six Kingdoms were wiped out.

It can also be understood that the minister being dealt with at this moment is a force developed by the remnants of the six countries.

Most of them have been cleaned up, and these ministers are afraid that they will mess up and expose them.

No matter what the situation is, as the assassination and clean-up continues, Chang Yu's side will become more and more passive!

"Come here!" Suddenly regaining consciousness, Chang Yu called an official over.

"Immediately inform the king and ask all the ministers... No, those who have positions in the palace, even the maids and guards must gather!"

"Yes!" The officials were very puzzled, why did they gather at this time, but they followed the order.

"Master Hou," Fusu said in confusion, Chang Yu raised his hand to stop his questioning: "Don't say anything, I have my own measure."

When the first emperor summoned all the ministers to gather, there were also many assassination cases... It may have been discovered at the moment of the assassination, or it may be that the assassin had just left before the official's notification arrived. In short, so many murders happened one after another. Let the entire city of Xianyang be enveloped in an atmosphere of indescribable depression and panic, where everyone is in danger.

It may be that the sky is weeping, and the dark clouds slowly gather over Xianyang City at some point.

With the image of low air pressure, many people feel that their breathing is a bit heavy...

Whoa!
It rained faintly.

The depression in my heart was even greater, as if a boulder was pressed against my chest, and I was very confused and indescribably frightened.

"It's late at night, the sky is weeping when something like this happens..." Chang Yu stood in the heavy rain and raised his hand, letting the raindrops fall on his hand.

He scratched lightly, as if he had caught something, but he didn't seem to have caught anything: "Notice, the whole city has a curfew."

"If someone dares to go out of the street without heeding advice, he will be executed as an assassin!" Xianyang City tonight will be a sleepless night.
