Shen Yan pointed his sword forward and ordered in a cold voice, "Take them all!"

In an instant, all the guards rushed over.

The guards were outnumbered, and the assassins were soon at a disadvantage.

The leading assassin saw this and shouted, "Retreat!"

After hearing this, all the assassins quickly retreated, but how could Shen Yan let them leave so easily.

"Don't let anyone go!"

After Shen Yan gave the order, the guards all focused on the assassin. They thought that Yan Chonghou would not be able to escape anyway.

When Yan Chonghou saw that no one was paying attention to him, he turned around and prepared to run away.

He had already seen that Shen Yan could not have come to save him, but was ordered to catch him.

He was going to destroy the evidence.

"Master Yan, where are you going in such a hurry?"

After Yan Chonghou ran a few steps, a cold voice came from above his head.

He looked up and saw Shen Yan standing in front of him.

"This is my home. I can go wherever I want. Does Princess Youning even care about this?" Yan Chonghou asked knowingly.

"Yan Chonghou, you are greedy for money, perverting the law, and disregarding human lives. I have ordered you to arrest you and bring you to the palace for questioning."

Shen Yan's eyes were cold and stern, "Are you leaving by yourself? Or should I tie you up?"

Yan Chonghou stood there, dazed for a moment. He never thought that this day would come to him. Even if he was dismissed from his official position this morning, he did not take it to heart. He did not expect that in less than a day, Emperor Xuande would The order came down.

"Nonsense! This is a naked accusation. Do you have any evidence?"

Yan Chonghou was quite arrogant and even questioned Shen Yan.

"It seems that the head of the Yan family doesn't want to leave on his own!" Shen Yan hit Yan Chonghou on the knee with his sword. In an instant, Yan Chonghou groaned and fell to his knees.

"If Master Yan has anything to say, please tell the emperor!" Shen Yan directly tapped Yan Chonghou's acupuncture points.

Yan Chonghou glared at Shen Yan, but couldn't say a word.

At the same time, except for the leading assassin, all the other assassins were killed by the guards.

The leading assassin was about to commit suicide when he was kicked to the ground by Shen Yan.

"Tie him up and take him away!" Shen Yan shouted.

"Yes, princess!"

Shen Yan came out of the yard and saw Yan Qing and Xie Huaijing. She said quietly, "The person has been caught. If he comes one step too late, he will be silenced. How are you doing here?"

"Master, everyone in Yan Mansion is under control." Yan Qing replied.

Xie Huaijing said, "I am leading people to collect evidence and have already collected some evidence."

"Then I will take the people back to the palace first." Shen Yan told Yan Qing, "You take the people to stay and guard here. Remember the emperor's instructions."

"Yes, Master." Yan Qing held his hands.

Shen Yan and Xie Huaijing looked at each other, and then led Yan Chonghou and the leading assassin into the palace.

"Your Majesty, we've brought him here." Shen Yan reported.

"Bring it in!"

The guards escorted Yan Chonghou into the palace and asked him to kneel on the ground while Shen Yan untied his acupuncture points.

"I see you, Your Majesty." Yan Chonghou was still pretending, "I wonder what crime I have committed? Your Majesty asked Princess Youning to escort me here late at night."

Emperor Xuande did not answer his question, but ordered the guards, "Untie him."

Yan Chonghou was still kneeling on the ground. He patted the dust on his body and held his head high, his aura not diminishing at all.

When Emperor Xuande saw him like this, he laughed angrily and cursed, "I don't know whether to live or die."

If Yan Chonghou pleads guilty and accepts punishment, Emperor Xuande may give him a happy life.

But seeing his refusal to admit guilt, Emperor Xuande decided to play with him slowly.

Just in time, killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, and giving a warning to those who are relying on the aristocratic family, or want to rely on the aristocratic family.

"Yan Chonghou, how many years have you not played chess with me?" Emperor Xuande asked.

Yan Chonghou thought for a while and replied, "I estimate it has been more than ten years."

"Sixteen years." Emperor Xuande said.

Yan Chonghou was a little confused. He didn't know why Emperor Xuande mentioned this. "The emperor has a very good memory. I am old and don't have as good a memory as the emperor."

"I remember very clearly, that day you played chess with me, pressing me step by step, and I gave in step by step, but you still didn't let me go, until finally I was forced to have no way to retreat," Emperor Xuande said. Recalling what happened back then, his tone was still filled with anger.

Back then, the two of them used the chessboard as a court, and they played games with chess pieces. It seemed like they were playing chess, but in fact they were talking about the court.

At that time, Emperor Xuande had no one to use and could only retreat again and again.

However, Yan Chonghou, who was at the height of his power, did not leave him a chance to survive.

"After sixteen years, you will accompany me for another game." Emperor Xuande said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yan Chonghou was thinking about how to move the chess piece today after sixteen years.

Soon, Eunuch Chen prepared the chessboard.

"Back then, you asked me to take charge of the sunspot. Today, you will take charge of the sunspot." Emperor Xuande said.

The scene from that year is still fresh in my memory.

Emperor Xuande still remembered Yan Chonghou's expression when he asked him to hold the black piece. It was disdainful, mocking and arrogant.

Yan Chonghou's expression seemed to say: My dear emperor, even if I ask you to do it first, you can't do it to me.

Emperor Xuande never forgot that kind of humiliation and pain.

Over the years, Emperor Xuande never let Yan Chonghou play chess with him again.

He had endured it for sixteen years just for today.

Today, he asked Yan Chonghou to take charge of Heizi, and Yan Chonghou no longer dared to resist.

The chessboard was placed, with Emperor Xuande sitting and Yan Chonghou kneeling.

Yan Chonghou holds the black piece and makes the first move.

"Yan Chonghou, you can't do it. You haven't played for so many years. Have your chess skills deteriorated?"

Emperor Xuande pointed to the place where Yan Chonghou made his move, "Your first move is a dead move and you will definitely lose!"

Yan Zhong said kindly, "Your Majesty, there is a saying that puts one's life on the line of death."

"You have no chance to live." Emperor Xuande dropped Bai Zi and blocked Heizi's path.

"The chess game has just begun. Isn't it too early for your Majesty to say this?" Yan Chonghou chose another position to play.

"Why has chess just begun? I have been playing this game for sixteen years."

Emperor Xuande said, "Yan Chonghou, where did your murderous intention go?"

Yan Chonghou didn't say anything. He made a move and was intercepted and killed by Emperor Xuande.

"Yan Chonghou, stop struggling. This time, you can't escape from my grasp!" Emperor Xuande's eyes were full of coldness.
