Because they were in Kyoto, Lin Gong only brought eight people with him. Although they were all masters, Wu Zhu was no different from a child when faced with the might of a great master.
In the next street not far away, a group of men in black were hiding in the darkness. They were sent by Li Yunrui to attack and kill Lin Gong.
Knowing that the prince was summoning Lin Gong today, they set up an ambush here in advance. This place was far away from the palace and was the only place to go back to the Lin Mansion.
But they waited and waited, and waited, but never saw Lin Gong coming. The leader couldn't wait any longer, so he immediately led others to explore the front.
After walking a certain distance, they indeed found Lin Gong, but it was Lin Gong who had lost his breath.
The dozen or so men in black stopped in their tracks, and the leader's pupils narrowed, and he immediately realized that something was wrong.
"No, retreat!"
But it was too late. A large group of people from the Inspection Institute, led by Director Zhu Ge and Director Yan Ruohai, arrived at the scene and blocked their retreat.
Neither party expected to meet each other at such a moment, but in a matter of seconds, both parties made a decision.
The men in black wanted to evacuate quickly, while the people from the forensic institute pursued them vigorously.
After a while!
Zhu Ge and Yan Ruohai stood together, looking at the clearly distinguishable corpses placed on both sides.
"Who are these men in black? They are so decisive. After knowing that they could not run away, they all chose to commit suicide."
"They should be dead soldiers. They are all eighth-grade dead soldiers. The people behind the scenes are not simple."
Zhuge asked: "What do you think?"
Yan Ruohai replied: "It was the other party who killed Lin Gong. The purpose of these men in black may also be to kill Lin Gong, but someone got there first."
Zhu Ge took a breath and said in shock: "In Kyoto, two people attacked and killed Lin Gong at the same time. This is a big deal."
"No matter what, take the bodies of these people back to the forensic institute first, and then report them to His Majesty immediately."
…………
In Guangxin Palace, Li Yunrui has not slept. She is waiting for news.
Letting Zhou Chen kill Lin Gong was the safest way she could think of. Zhou Chen could come and go freely in the palace, so killing Lin Gong was not something she could easily do.
It's a pity that Zhou Chen didn't agree, but Lin Gong must die in Kyoto, so she could only find another method. The people sent out this time were all dead soldiers. No matter whether it succeeded or not, people would not think of her.
"The moonlight is beautiful tonight, and it will be a fine day tomorrow."
The person who reported the report finally came, and Li Yunrui was very surprised after hearing it.
"Our people met the Inspection Institute? Lin Gong was not killed by our people? Is there another party?"
"At this time, who would want to kill Lin Gong, and who would dare to kill Lin Gong in Kyoto?"
The first thing Li Yunrui thought of was Zhou Chen, but he quickly threw it away. This was impossible, that was.
Fan Xian?
Lin Gong, the son of Prime Minister Lin, was assassinated in Kyoto. The news spread quickly throughout Kyoto like a gust of wind.
The night in Kyoto once again stirred up trouble, and countless people were awakened from their sleep, including those big shots who stood at the top of power.
Because Lin Gong left the prince's residence, the prince received the news quickly. The moment he received the news, he was stunned.
First he was angry, then he was nervous. Lin Gong was a very important subordinate of his. Lin Gong's death was a huge loss to him.
Also, Lin Gong was killed after he left his place, and he seems to be inseparable from it...
He was also wondering who killed Lin Gong, and soon came up with an answer.
Fan Xian.
When the second prince heard the news, he was confused. He knew that Lin Gong was the real culprit behind the assassination of Fan Xian in Niulan Street, and he also thought that Fan Xian would cause trouble for Lin Gong.
But he never expected that Lin Gong would be killed quietly in Kyoto, which would have a greater impact than Fan Xian's previous assassination.
Fan Xian was assassinated, and he was okay after all, but Lin Gong died, so the meaning was naturally different.
Fan Xian.
"Could it be Fan Xian? Does he have this ability?"
Fan Xian didn't sleep very well tonight because he had decided to go find Lin Gong tomorrow, so he didn't fall asleep. Then he saw Fan Jian coming to find him with a solemn expression.
"Lin Gong is dead."
"What?"
Fan Xian looked shocked. Before he could say anything, Fan Jian asked again: "Does Lin Gong's death have anything to do with you?"
Fan Xian pointed at himself in astonishment: "How could it be related to me? I..."
Suddenly, he thought of Wu Zhu, but he quickly returned to normal.
"I've been staying at home, how could it have anything to do with me, why would it have anything to do with me?"
Fan Jian stared at Fan Xian for a long time and didn't see anything wrong, but he was still worried.
"It's best if it has nothing to do with you. From tonight on, don't go out. Lin Gong was assassinated in Kyoto, and Kyoto will be in chaos again."
"Who is so bold to be assassinated in Kyoto?" Fan Xian pretended to be shocked, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Who knows, don't worry so much, just follow my instructions and don't go out, do you hear me?"
"I got it, Dad."
After Fan Jian left, Fan Xian still couldn't hide his shock. He looked around and found no one, so he dared to shout in a low voice: "Uncle Wu Zhu, Uncle Wu Zhu..."
After Zhou Chen woke up, he heard about Lin Gong's murder and was very surprised. He thought that this woman Li Yunrui could really kill Lin Gong in Kyoto so fast.
But after listening to the report from his men, he soon discovered something was wrong. Both groups wanted to assassinate Lin Gong?
"Wuzhu?"
Li Yunrui wanted to kill Lin Gong. He knew that the other party, he could think of, the person with this ability and this motive would most likely be Wu Zhu.
"It's interesting. After going round and round, the final result is this. But this time I'm afraid it will be a bigger fuss."
Lin Gong's assassination was already a major event, but being assassinated in Kyoto was even more serious. It was impossible not to cause chaos.
So, in the morning of that day, many people stood up to impeach.
There are many targets for impeachment, including the Inspection and Inspection Institute, Kyoto garrison, city guards, etc. All departments with the responsibility of guarding Kyoto have been impeached. Among them, Chen Pingping of the Inspection and Inspection Institute and Ye Zhong of Kyoto garrison were the most impeached.
The whole morning became chaotic.
As for Prime Minister Lin, who is the leader of the hundred officials, he did not even come to the morning court today.
Emperor Qing sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, looking at the chaos in the morning with almost no fluctuation in his mind.
After he learned about this last night, he had already thought about it a lot. He was originally worried about Zhou Chen, but suddenly something like this happened again, which naturally made him very unhappy.
But after thinking about it deeply, he suddenly felt that Lin Gong's death could make a fuss, but it was not necessarily a bad thing.
Let alone Lin Gong's death, even if Lin Ruofu died, Emperor Qing would not think there was a problem as long as it would help his overall situation.
In his heart, everything is focused on his imperial power, and everything else, even his biological son, is just a pawn in his hands.
Fan Jian originally didn't want Fan Xian to go out, but at dawn, someone came from the palace and said that Emperor Qing had summoned Fan Xian, so Fan Xian could only follow him to the palace obediently.
At the same time, Zhou Chen received another piece of information from Luo Xingfeng.
"Chen Pingping has returned to Beijing. It's a good time."
Thinking that Chen Pingping had invited him when they met before, but they never met again, and several months passed in the blink of an eye.
Zhou Chen was very aware of Emperor Qing's ambitions. Emperor Qing might have hated him so much that he wanted to kill him, but compared to ambition and country, Emperor Qing would definitely choose the latter at this time.
Lin Gong's death gave Emperor Qing an excuse to start a war with Northern Qi. He would never let go of such a good opportunity.
I'm feeling a bit unwell today, so I'll just update!
