Chapter 30 Assassination(1/2)

 Zhao Sheng was stunned, unable to react for a moment as to what Mr. Hai said.

Mr. Hai glanced at him and sighed slightly.

"The former commander of the Yulin Army was interrogated and tortured by the Jin Yiwei for committing rebellion.

Now he has confessed everything, but because he is from the Xu family and belongs to the royal family, the matter is serious.

It needs to be handed over to the Zongren Mansion for interrogation, the crime will be proven, and the clan membership will be expelled, so tomorrow it will be moved from the Imperial Prison to the Zongren Mansion Prison.

After the charges are verified and the relevant matters are sorted out, he will be handed over to the Prison of the Ministry of Punishments for interrogation and execution at a selected date."

Regarding the criminals of the royal family, it has always been so complicated, and Zhao Sheng understands it.

It’s just like when King Ning was caught rebelling.

Although His Majesty the Emperor is very angry, when it comes to his family, he often has to follow the procedures.

So even if something big happened in the Zongren Mansion a while ago, these matters are still indispensable.

Otherwise, if other prisoners were captured and interrogated in Jinyiwei's prison, they would just be beheaded with one knife.

But if we only imprison such a prisoner, we shouldn’t need his help, right?

General Manager Hai saw his doubts and continued: "The crime committed by Xu Ni is too big. This time, I'm afraid the prison of the Zongren Mansion will be full."

A simple sentence, but behind it is full of blood.

Zhao Sheng felt awe-struck in his heart, knowing the meaning of Mr. Hai's words.

The Xu family is not the Zhao family. If someone wants to commit regicide, he is afraid that the nine clans will be implicated!

General Manager Hai sighed and said: "That night, the eunuchs in the clan's mansion suffered heavy casualties, and all the original jailers died tragically.

Although the Ministry of Internal Affairs has sent people over now, if all the people from the Xu Mansion are imprisoned tomorrow, I'm afraid there won't be enough manpower.

You go over and help with the meal, and then come back when the prisoner is taken to the sky jail.

As for the food delivery here, I’ll leave it to Xiao Guizi.”

Well, I always deliver food wherever I go, but this time I went to the prison... Zhao Sheng was in a bit of a dilemma.

"Sir, is this prison a bit more dangerous? After all, Xu Ni must be very powerful in martial arts, right?"

As for the jailer, only the prison of the Ministry of Punishment is an iron rice bowl that cannot be exchanged for a lot of money, and it is rich in oil and water.

The jailers of Zongren Mansion are really miserable, without any luck, and very dangerous.

This can be illustrated by the night King Ning escaped.

If someone robs the prison, all the jailers will die!

Even if you don't die at the hands of the traitor, when the higher authorities investigate and punish you for failing to guard, will you still have a good life?

This place is really not a good place to go.

Mr. Hai paused for a moment and looked sideways at the door.

Because Xu Ni's matter has not been finalized, the second prince has not yet been able to leave the confinement of the clan mansion.

The lights there were still on, and there seemed to be a blur of people.

His expression seemed a little forlorn, and he said to Zhao Sheng: "Don't worry, what happened that night won't happen again this time."

Since Mr. Hai said so, Zhao Sheng had no choice but to bow and say: "I will go to the prison tomorrow to help."

Mr. Hai nodded and waved for him to leave.

Zhao Sheng walked out of the hall and looked at the dark courtyard outside, with only a light flickering in front.

That's the second prince's room.

He saw several figures of women with flowing sleeves, and the second prince was playing with them.

His Highness is not a person who usually behaves like this without reason, but now he acts like this just to tell people outside that he is unjust and that he is about to be released.

In fact, the second prince's rise can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.

Just look at how he tormented He Chengming.

That is also him declaring his power.

"Xu Ni belongs to the prince, and if he commits a crime, the prince commits a crime.

But is this really the prince's doing? Does it have something to do with you?"

Zhao Sheng sighed and lamented the brutal and terrible struggle in the palace.

Killing without blood, one wrong step, every wrong step.

Zhao Sheng stepped on the snow in the courtyard, making a squeaking sound with every step he took.

In the second prince's room, the music and songs were singing together, the orioles were singing and the swallows were dancing, it was so joyful.

Zhao Sheng walked farther and farther until he disappeared into the darkness, leaving only a series of footprints.

The snow tonight is getting colder and colder.

On the second day, Zhao Sheng reported to the prison on time.

The imperial army guarding the prison has changed a group of people, but Zhao Sheng, the old and new, does not recognize them.

The leader here is Lieutenant Lu. When he learned that Zhao Sheng was the eunuch who delivered food to General Manager Hai, his attitude was respectful.

The Forbidden Army gave him a token and told him that he would be here during the day and would be responsible for delivering three meals a day to the prisoners, and that he could go back after the hour.

This is quite relaxing.

But when he walked in the prison, he always felt that there was a dark wind inside.

It would be better to leave as soon as possible.

After breakfast, the silent prison finally became lively.

First, a group of Jin Yiwei wearing Feiyu uniforms walked in. In the middle was a guy wearing fine iron shackles and iron ball shackles tied to his feet.

The man was tall, with long and disheveled hair, and his prison uniform was covered in bloodstains and whip marks.

His bare feet were dirty and black, and every step he took left brown blood stains on the ground, and the two iron balls made a clanging sound.

"The traitor Xu Fangyan will be handed over to the clan prison today."

The person in charge of leading the team was a Baihu, and he handed over a set of paperwork to Captain Lu.

"I also ask you all to take action to seal this traitor's martial arts."

Lieutenant Lu secretly gave Baihu a banknote.

Baihu smiled knowingly, cupped his hands and said, "There is no need for the captain to tell you, this is our duty."

Lieutenant Lu smiled, but in fact he was cursing in his heart.

What is the responsibility? Who doesn’t know that Jin Yiwei has a dark heart?

He just won't help you block criminals' martial arts skills, allowing criminals to cause trouble in prison without being blamed on them.

If you don’t want to make a fuss, just be more knowledgeable.

Hundreds of Jin Yiwei waved back, and a few of them dragged Xu Ni away and took him to the prison.

First, two iron hooks were used to pierce the rebel's shoulder blades, and then golden needles were used to seal the points, completely locking the man's martial arts skills, and then the shackles were released and the shackles were released.

Zhao Sheng stood outside and felt his scalp numb when looking at this bloody scene.

The Jin Yiwei retreated, and Zhao Sheng stood in the corner, quietly looking at the former commander of the Yulin Army.

My ex-ex had just been removed from jail and sent to jail, and before my butt was even hot, he was arrested again.

If he had been sentenced faster, this man would still be able to meet his old boss after he was transferred to the Prison Prison.

Xu Fangyan remained silent, his hands and feet were tied with iron chains, and he was treated the same as Prince Ning back then.

But he is not as lucky as Prince Ning.

Not long after, another group of Jin Yiwei sent a group of criminals.

They were all wearing prison uniforms and had disheveled hair. Who would have known that just a few days ago, they were still members of the Xu family who were aloof.

The old lady of the Xu family is the late emperor's sister. After marrying into the Xu family, she gave birth to a son and a daughter for the head of the Xu family.

The head of the family died early, and his children also died young, but the old lady was in a position of great power. She had been in charge of the Xu family for decades, and she behaved like the head of the family.

In the past few decades, the Xu family has continued to grow, and has interacted with many dignitaries and noble families.

The eldest daughter of the second wife, under her control, became the crown princess.

At that time, the Xu family was at its peak.

Who would have thought that Xu Fangyan’s family would be destroyed by one person?

Except for the old lady, everyone in the Xu family was arrested.

The Crown Princess was deposed as a result and was expelled back to the Xu family.

An old man and a young man were helpless. Fortunately, the Holy One had mercy and welcomed the old lady back to the princess's mansion, with the princess accompanying her.
