Long live the best

Qin Yun was sitting in the high hall, and many ministers who rushed over stood below him.

General Wang Ming of the Jinwu Guard, Lang Zhongling Changhong, Shaoqing of Zongzheng Temple, Shangshu Zuotang of the Ministry of Punishment, etc.

Everyone was standing, only Lang Zhong Ling Chang Hong was kneeling.

His face was pale, and he was sweating profusely. He was obviously a tall and thick man, but at this moment he wanted to cry but had no tears.

He was responsible for the safety of the palace, but such a big incident happened, the emperor and the imperial concubine were assassinated together, even if it was the punishment of the nine clans, it would not be an exaggeration.

The atmosphere was dead silent, no one dared to speak, to touch the mold.

Chang Hong couldn't take it anymore, he was going to die anyway, he might as well admit his mistake, maybe his death could keep the whole family safe.

He took off his waist plate and general helmet, and put his forehead on the ground.

Gritting his teeth, he shouted: "Your Majesty, I have committed a crime of capital punishment, so please give me death!"

"boom!"

Qin Yun threw the inkstone and smashed it hard on Chang Hong's forehead.

Blushing and roaring with a thick neck: "You bastard, how the hell did you let more than 30 assassins in?!"

"Death? What can your death redeem?"

Chapter 17 The Son of Heaven is Wrathful!

Several people trembled all over, and they were quite frightened. Wang Ming looked at Chang Hong, who was bleeding head and blood, with a smug expression in his eyes.

Chang Hong let the blood on his forehead slide down, trembling all over, crying: "Your Majesty, I know that I have committed a serious crime and I don't ask for forgiveness, but Your Majesty, there is something wrong with this matter. I have never made a mistake in managing the affairs of the palace!"

"Soldiers under his command don't dare to neglect their duties, I can guarantee this, but..."

Qin Yun was so angry that he wanted to kill himself, and cursed: "But you are so tall!"

"Come here, drag Chang Hong to me, put him in death row with a hundred army sticks, and send him down after hearing it!"

"Tonight, Xuanwumen's generals on duty have neglected their duties. If no one is left behind, all will be killed!"

"The Ministry of Punishment, Zongzheng Temple, and the Yamen of the Imperial Capital. You three parties will join forces and investigate for me immediately. I want to know who the assassin is and how he got in!"

"Before the court, if there is no result."

"All three of you show me your heads!"

Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice and others trembled, showing bitterness, but they dared not say anything more.

Everyone knelt down: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

At this time, Wang Ming took the opportunity to kneel down, and said with a face of self-blame: "Your Majesty, the delay in coming to save you caused the situation to be so bad, please punish me."

Qin Yun covered his forehead, and glanced at Wang Ming indifferently, is a cat crying and a mouse pretending to be merciful?

He is very clear about this matter, it is not that simple.

No matter how negligent Chang Hong was, he would not have allowed so many assassins to come in. If there were no people with good hands and eyes to bribe the imperial guards or eunuchs, it would be impossible to get to this Tiantian.

As for the target of the assassination, he also knew very well that Concubine Xiao Shu was not himself, and he knew it from the moment the masked killer saw him hesitate.

In recent days, Concubine Xiao Shu was on the cusp of being angered because of the martial arts incident.

The biggest suspect for wanting to kill her is the Wang family!

Seeing that he didn't speak, Wang Ming pretended to be very concerned, and blamed himself: "Your Majesty, speaking of it, the Jinwu Guard also has an unshirkable responsibility."

"Fortunately, His Majesty was not injured, otherwise, the subordinates would be blamed for their death. Dare I ask Your Majesty, is Concubine Shu in danger?"

As he spoke, he raised his eyes and peeked at Qin Yun.

It happened to meet Qin Yun's extremely indifferent pupils.

Qin Yun's words and sentences were like Jiuyou waking up to his life's impermanence: "Why, General Wang, do you really want Concubine Shu to die?"

Wang Ming trembled all over, and immediately knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, don't dare!"

Qin Yun snorted coldly and shouted: "Get out of here!"

Everyone ran away in desperation.

In just over an hour, the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the Yamen submitted a document to Qin Yun.

The above is a fairly clear explanation of the assassination process.

The more than 30 assassins were all reckless, without a foothold, no family relatives could be found, and they were not registered in the imperial capital.

They borrowed more than 30 sets of imperial armor and more than 30 identity tokens, sneaked in from Xuanwumen all the way, and carried out assassinations.

Shortly after the incident, the more than 30 imperial guards who lost their tokens all committed suicide in fear of crime.

Through the tattoos on the killer's body, the Ministry of Criminal Justice traced the clues, and very smoothly found a family in the eastern suburbs of the imperial capital.

The family's surname is Huang. Their ancestors were officials. They are considered lonely nobles. They have a small villa in the eastern suburbs.

The head of the family, Huang Tao, confessed to the case, saying that he was dissatisfied with Concubine Xiao Shu's gossip to confuse the public and harm the country and the people, so he bribed the Jianghu killers and palace eunuchs to enter the palace and kill people.

After being taken into prison, Huang Tao committed suicide by biting his tongue.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, news of the assassination of Qin Yun and Concubine Xiao Shu in the palace spread, causing an uproar!

In today's world, there are people who dare to assassinate the emperor openly!

All of a sudden, there was panic and everyone was in danger.

When something like this happens, everyone knows that there will be a violent storm, and countless people may lose their lives because of it!

Immediately afterwards, the imperial palace promulgated four consecutive imperial decrees, which surprised everyone again.

"One, punish Huang Tao's nine clans."

"Second, more than [-] palace generals and school lieutenants were dismissed from their posts. Those who neglected their duties seriously were sent to the guillotine."

"Three, nearly 70 eunuchs and more than [-] court ladies were executed in more than ten palaces including the Hall of Mental Cultivation and the Hall of Taiji!"

"Fourth, all the grass and lakes in the imperial capital will be killed if they are not registered with the government!"

On this day, the bazaar in the imperial capital was full of blood, and hundreds of people were beheaded here for public display.

Many officials were too frightened to go out at home, and put up signs that they would not be guests, fearing that they would be held accountable.
