.Chapter 425 The riots in Anping City

Long Shouren's face was ashen at this moment. It was a matter of thought. If it weren't for the idea of ​​consuming the Iron Dragon Guard, he wouldn't have come a step later. Not only was the original magnificent palace burned most of the time, but even the national treasury had disappeared.

The only comforting thing is that when he brought people here, he happened to run into the group of people who attacked the palace and left the palace. After a fierce battle, the minions of the second prince died and were caught, but none of them escaped, which also made Long Shouren feel a little better when he was not very beautiful.

"Your Highness" Maris called out to Long Shouren softly.

"Maris, how about it? Have you found the thing?" Long Shouren's eyes immediately became eager when he saw Maris.

"This, please forgive me for being incompetent." Maris replied with a tough bullet.

"...Are you kidding me?"

Looking at Long Shouren with a smirk on his face, Maris gritted his teeth and replied, "Your Highness, we have searched all the palaces of His Majesty the Emperor, but we have not found the imperial seal. There are only two possibilities: one is that the imperial seal was burned down by the fire, and the other is that it was taken away by us first."

"...Where are those captured prisoners?" Long Shouren asked the guard beside him with a gloomy face.

"Everyone was imprisoned in the heavenly prison." The guard replied quickly. He didn't want to be angry with Long Shouren because of his slow answer.

Long Shouren walked towards the Tianzhu without saying a word.

Entering the Heavenly Prison, the prison guards are torturing the prisoners.

"Say, where have you hidden the missing property?" the jailer shouted loudly.

"Hmph, I've said it many times, I don't know. You came just after we fought the emperor's bedroom, and you didn't go to the treasury at all."

"You still dare to be stubborn?"

"stop"

The jailer looked back and immediately threw away the whip in his hand, and said to the person who came with a smile on his face, "Your Highness."

"Um..." Long Shouren nodded slightly and ordered: "You take all your people out. Without my orders, no one is allowed to get close."

"Yes, yes." The jailer nodded quickly.

As the prison door closed, Long Shouren looked at the bloody and strong man who was beaten and said, "You must have known who I am. I will ask you and answer, so that everyone will be able to live a good life. As long as you are willing to be loyal to me, it will be a problem for the executive to have a strong salary. It depends on your own choice."

"…Please ask your Highness."

"Where did the imperial seal go?"

"...Your Highness, if I say we have not found the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, do you believe this?"

"...Tell me what happened to you this time."

"Yes, when we were still in the barracks today, the Second Highness suddenly summoned us to support the Xuanwu Army to enter the city. We had reached the critical moment of life and death, and asked us whether we were sitting and waiting for death or fighting to the death. At that time, we were also blinded by lard, and we actually agreed to the Second Highness's suggestion and led our troops to attack the palace. However, the palace had the Iron Dragon Guard, so it was not so easy to capture. But we were already in a difficult position at that time, and no matter how difficult it was, we had only one way to go to the dark. But what we could not imagine was that when we were fighting with the Iron Dragon Guard, the palace suddenly rose in the palace when we suddenly got up in the palace when we were fighting with the Iron Dragon Guard.

It was so hot. At that time, we thought it was the palace that someone had already captured, so we attacked harder. But when we finally attacked the palace, we found that there had been fire everywhere in the palace, but none of the palace maids and servants who were usually visible were seen. We felt that something was wrong at that time. When we brought people to the emperor's bedroom, most of the places were burned and there was no way for people to get close to. We originally wanted to go to the treasury and robbed them, but our scout said at that time that you are the Lord, you are leading troops. We could only lead troops out of the palace, but unfortunately, you are blocking it by Lord,..."

"...In other words, you didn't get any benefits when you attack the palace this time, and you almost wiped out the entire army." Long Shouren asked at the unlucky guy in front of him with expressionless face.

"Um."

"…Where is the second prince you are loyal to?"

"The second prince disguised himself from Anping three days ago and secretly returned to the fiefdom. Now the one in the second prince's mansion is a fake."

Long Shouren, who finally got some useful information, nodded and turned around and walked out the door. When he arrived at the door, he ordered the prison guard standing at the door: "Please put that person and his companions in the jail, and there is no need to interrogate them anymore."

Long Shouren found Maris and Wen Rui and told them the information he had just obtained. After hearing this, Wen Rui immediately suggested: "Your Highness, please immediately order the arrest of the second prince and those whom we are not dealing with in normal times."

"No, if Your Highness does this, he will lose the support of many people." Maris quickly objected.

"Extraordinary things should be done at extraordinary times. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Your Highness can quickly grasp the court and eliminate the unstable factors that threaten Your Highness's future rule."

"Well said, Wen Rui, I'll leave this matter to you." Long Shouren said to Wen Rui with satisfaction.

"Yes, please rest assured, your superiors, I will do my best," Wen Rui bowed and looked at Maris provocatively. Maris frowned slightly when he saw this and said nothing.

Seeing that the two great strategists under him were disliked each other, Long Shouren had no intention of mediating them. After being the eldest prince for so many years, although the emperor's bravery was not inherited by himself, Long Shouren was very good at playing the balance.

After Wen Rui left, Maris said to Long Shouren: "Your Highness, please send someone to supervise Wen Rui so that he will not avenge his personal revenge and ruin his reputation."

"How do you say this?"

"When the Wen family was in trouble, many people in Anping took advantage of the situation. Now Wen Rui has the power to kill the powerful people in Anping. It is hard to guarantee that he will not avenge his personal revenge. Yixue was humiliated before."

"Marris, you are so serious. I believe Wen Rui knows the importance of it."

Seeing that Long Shouren did not listen to his opinions, Maris stopped persuading him. Maris used to disdain for Mingzhe's self-protection, because he believed that Long Shouren was his ideal monarch. But since the incident of his son Deere leaving, Maris felt that Long Shouren was alienated. Although he still brought himself with him, he no longer obeyed the rules as before. Many times he would do it according to Wen Rui's opinions.

Wen Rui was full of energy at this time. When his family was in trouble, the hateful faces of those who took advantage of the situation appeared in his mind. Thinking of the oath he made in his heart at that time, Wen Rui showed a sneer on his lips.

"The palace was attacked and was ordered to capture the accomplices." With the order, ten soldiers hugged a huge tree and shouted a trumpet and knocked open the door of a current Aolong diplomat's house. Looking at the soldiers rushing in with a fierce spirit, the people in the mansion felt a trembling and felt desperate for the future.

Sitting on the horse, looking down at the diplomat tied to him. Seeing him trembling in front of him at this moment, and remembering the way he went to his mansion to show off his power after taking office, Wen Rui felt a sense of pleasure.

"Young Master Wen, I wonder what the hell is there to come to the humble house?" the diplomat asked in a trembling voice.

"I was attacked by the palace, and I was ordered by the eldest prince to capture my accomplices who attacked the palace."

"…I wonder who was instructing the person who attacked the palace?"

"According to the prisoner's instructions, he was ordered by the second prince. Please, please. If you have any words, please go to the prison to talk to the interrogator."

Hearing Wen Rui's words, the diplomat sat on the ground, but soon a soldier stepped forward and tied him up.

"Close the door, no one is allowed to go out. Anyone who violates the door will be killed," Wen Rui ordered loudly.

After hearing Wen Rui's order, the diplomat bowed to Wen Rui and said, "Thank you, Mr. Wen, for being generous."

"No need. The life and death of adults is only in the mind of adults." Wen Rui answered coldly, and walked towards the next target.

Many people treat the same as diplomats, after all, they still need them for the normal operation of the empire in the future. Of course, there are also those that must be removed. Although they know that the main master may have escaped Anping like the second prince, Wen Rui still did not let those who stayed in Anping easily go.

"Everyone is taken down. If anyone dares to resist, he will be punished by rebellion and will be killed without any punishment." Wen Rui stood in front of the government of the Finance Minister, oh, the former Finance Minister, and ordered coldly. After tonight, the Finance Minister, who was a striking figure in Anping, would be regarded as a rebel, and the second prince was naturally the unfilial son who did not hesitate to commit acts of murdering his father for the sake of the throne.

The family of the Minister of Finance, who already knew their fate, rose up to resist, but how could they be the opponents of the battle-hardened Xuanwu soldiers. They were killed one after another and fell into a pool of blood.

"Dog thief, you must die a bad death." A captured girl cursed at Wen Rui with her big eyes open.

Looking at the girl who scolded her coldly, Wen Rui knew this person, the youngest daughter of the Minister of Finance. She was usually a arrogant and domineering little pepper. Seeing her glaring at her, Wen Rui felt extremely calm and said calmly: "You are fish and I am the slaughter. Do you think you can make me sad by just one or two words of abuse? It's better to see your own situation clearly."

The girl was so dissatisfied that she was about to scold again, but the light of her eyes saw the group of eyes flashing like wolves around her. She couldn't help but be shocked. Seeing the girl's fear, Wen Rui sneered and said, "It seems that you already understand your current status. If you don't want to be killed by someone, you'd better cooperate and immediately order those in your mansion who are still resisting to give up resistance. Otherwise, I don't guarantee whether you will be killed by someone here."

"...I, how do I believe you won't go back on your word?"

"You have no choice. If you want to keep your innocence, you can only cooperate with me." Wen Rui said coldly.
