"Shouldn't I take action just now?"

Li Qingyuan came to Zhang Tuohai and asked.

"Actually, it's not a big problem. From the moment they entered Prince Qin's palace, they were already dead. I just want to collect more evidence. After all, you still have to explain to your father, so you have to save face."

Zhang Tuohai said.

"Well, what should we do now? Wait for a confession?"

Li Qingyuan asked.

"Why do we have to wait for a confession?" Zhang Tuohai asked, "The evidence is already conclusive. The chief steward can rule this case as ironclad here. Now that things have happened, Prime Minister Cao must die. Only if he dies, can anyone else

Take responsibility for this."

Zhang Tuohai said.

"What if it wasn't Prime Minister Cao who did it? After all, there is a slight possibility that the housekeeper made the decision privately..."

Li Qingyuan hesitated and said.

"Haha, the chief steward is in our hands. Can we leave it up to him to make the decision privately? It's not up to us to decide exactly what to do? Anyway, no matter what, Prime Minister Cao must die. If he doesn't die, the cabinet affairs will be settled.

No."

"We need to use the remaining power from the destruction of Prime Minister Cao's family to promote this matter. By then, no one will dare to oppose us."

"When the matter is done, their courtiers will have no choice but to admit it, no matter how dissatisfied they are."

"This way..." After listening to Zhang Tuohai's explanation, Li Qingyuan couldn't help but feel smart.

It turns out that from the beginning, Zhang Tuohai didn't care whether the man behind it was Prime Minister Cao.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, Prime Minister Cao must die.

This will not change. The final difference is just how many people will die.

If Li Qingyuan had seen Zhang Tuohai acting like this before, he would have felt a little uncomfortable.

However, after guarding him for the first half of the night, Li Qingyuan has slowly begun to accept Zhang Tuohai's philosophy of killing to stop killing.

Only by killing the source with thunderous means at the very beginning can the problem be solved at the minimum cost.

It's like having carrion on your body. The cheapest way is to cut off all the carrion as soon as possible.

But if you are lucky and delay slowly, the carrion will continue to spread and even cover the whole body. By then, the loss will not only be a little carrion, but also life-threatening.

"Okay, I understand, I'll call someone."

Li Qingyuan ordered all the guards and headed towards Prime Minister Cao's Prime Minister's Mansion.

The guards held torches and charged towards the Prime Minister's Mansion like a fire dragon in the dark night.

Such a massive move would naturally be impossible to hide from the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

In fact, when he just left the Prince of Qin's Mansion, people from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division who were patrolling at night came to inquire.

"Who is coming?" asked a guard general leading the troops.

Zhang Tuohai dismounted his horse and rushed directly to the front of the team.

After seeing the guard, Zhang Tuohai slapped him in the face, and then raised Li Qingyuan's token in front of the guard.

Come and try it soon.]

"Do you know me? Do you know this token?"

"I will finally meet His Highness the King of Qin!"

The guard looked at Zhang Tuohai and then at the shining crown prince token in his opponent's hand. He quickly got off his horse and knelt down in front of Zhang Tuohai.

"Take your people and follow my business!"

Zhang Tuohai said loudly to the guard.

"Your order!"

The guard immediately ordered all his troops and followed Zhang Tuohai towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

This line of patrolling troops is not the only one in the imperial city.

Zhang Tuohai walked along the way, recruiting soldiers and horses from all walks of life to patrol the city, and soon he had twice as many men.

Soon, Zhang Tuohai led people to Prime Minister Cao's residence.

As the second most powerful person in the entire empire, Prime Minister Cao's mansion is extraordinary, like a small city.

At this time, a large number of servants wearing armor and holding longbow weapons had climbed up the high wall.

"Who is coming? This is the residence of Prime Minister Cao. Leave quickly. Anyone who dares to step over this arrow will be killed without mercy."

A steward shouted loudly while drawing his bow and nocking an arrow.

A penetrating arrow shot out and sank into the ground in front of Zhang Tuohai, its tail feathers still swaying outside.

After taking a look at the missing arrow at his feet, Zhang Tuohai showed a smile on his face.

"The order is sent, Prime Minister Cao intends to assassinate the crown prince. According to the law of the empire, I am Lingchi and the Yi tribe! The three armies obey the order and surround the Prime Minister's Mansion. No one can escape!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Tuohai's men dispersed and surrounded the Prime Minister's residence!

When the steward on the wall saw this situation, he immediately panicked and wanted to go back to report the news.

But how could Zhang Tuohai give him this opportunity? He raised his hand and pointed at that person.

Whoosh!

A burst of energy penetrated directly into the man's chest!

With a pop, the man's body fell off the high wall.

As soon as the man died, the servants on the wall immediately panicked.

Although Prime Minister Cao was plotting to kill the prince, Li Daitao was even killed to realize his ulterior plan.

But this is a matter of losing one's head. Prime Minister Cao was afraid that the secret would be lost due to the large number of people, so he strictly kept the secret. Only the core members knew the details.

As for these servants, they definitely don’t know the true feelings.

Therefore, after Zhang Tuohai came to kill them, these servants felt that the family master's crime had nothing to do with them, and a few taels of silver were not worth committing suicide.

If you can get away with your crime and perform meritorious service, you might even be able to exchange for some silver reward.

Therefore, most of the servants did not choose to resist, and many simply dropped their weapons and ran away.

Some even opened their doors.

As soon as the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion opened, the guards following Zhang Tuohai rushed in like wolves and tigers.

If you see anyone, tie them up and kill them on the spot if they dare to resist.

Suddenly, the cry of killing resounded throughout the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Zhang Tuohai and his men ignored the miscellaneous fish and rushed towards the core of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The closer you go to the core of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the more key people you know about Prime Minister Cao's affairs.

These people knew that if the matter was revealed, they would not survive, so they fought tooth and nail.

But in front of Zhang Tuohai, the resistance of these people was like a mantis using its arms as a chariot.

With Zhang Tuohai's finger, all these people's heads were penetrated by energy.

No one can stop Zhang Tuohai in one round.

Seeing how brave Zhang Tuohai was, the guards under him also moved forward bravely, as if they had been given blood, and kept slashing at the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion with the knives in their hands.

This is how people are, after their blood and energy are stimulated, they can exert power far beyond their own capabilities.

The people in the Prime Minister's Mansion had a guilty conscience, and after being raided, they thought they were in dire straits. With no one under unified command, the group fought on their own, and were even chased and killed by guards who were inferior to them.

The entire Prime Minister's Mansion fell into chaos.

In the end, the guards even carried Zhang Tuohai and rushed towards the core of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

A hanging flower arch appeared in front.

The guards thought it was the same as before, so they rushed in using their inertia.
