Zhu Houzhao was dying when he was found by Jin Yiwei and sent back to the palace. With a green and purple face, I knew it was a sign of poisoning at first glance.

Empress Dowager Zhang almost roared and roared: "Where is the imperial doctor? Why hasn't the imperial doctor come yet?"

It's been almost half an hour since my son was assassinated in bed, and he hasn't seen the shadow of the imperial doctor. This efficiency is enough to make the head of the Taiyuan Hospital make people's heads fall.

An old **** replied tremblingly: "The empress dowager just received news that several eunuchs on duty suddenly died suddenly.

The Tai Hospital was touched by people, and I am afraid that I can't count on it. Father Gu and Father Zhang have already taken people to the folks to ask for famous doctors..."

Before the old **** finished speaking, Empress Dowager Zhang fainted on the spot.

Whether it is the organized assassin group of a hundred people, or the manipulation in the hospital, it proves the strength of the black hand behind the scenes.

In times of crisis, loyal to the eunuchs of the emperor, and would rather go to the private to seek medical care, than dared to count on the hospital. The amount of information behind this is too large and completely beyond the acceptance of Empress Dowager Zhang.

In her impression, although the emperor was a little bit foolish, Daming as a whole was still in peace.

When the Queen Mother fainted, the hundred officials also rushed to the palace. Taking advantage of the opportunity when no one presided over the overall situation, the cabinet took over the palace and began to issue orders.

...

Although the imperial court has blocked the news as much as possible, the most explosive case of assassination since the founding of Ming Dynasty has been spread to the world by the remnants of martial arts figures.

Top of Mount Hua

Li Mu was dumbfounded when he heard the news that the emperor was being pursued and killed in the capital.

I knew that the aristocratic family was awesome, but now it is not in the Wei and Jin dynasties. Such audacious pursuit of the emperor is simply appalling.

Unless it is to change the dynasty, if this kind of thing is done, the next emperor will retaliate against them if he has some patience.

Li Mu has no doubt that the aristocratic family has the ability to change dynasties. But in the background where all the great families stand together, who will come out to be the emperor?

Everyone is not a fool. If you choose an emperor with mature business capabilities, you are trying to smash your own foundation.

Once the emperor knew their gameplay, many things could not be manipulated. After the collapse of the clan system, why can the family and the family be able to maintain their influence in the court for a long time?

Really think that their descendants, generations of scholars, can stand out in the wave of imperial examinations?

If there is no backdoor set up, it will take a few decades, and the family will also lose sight of everyone.

Since there is no plan to change the dynasty and everyone is playing so intensely, it can only be Zhu Hou who has laid out their foundation.

In the arena, Li Mu didn't know what happened in the court. The only certainty is that this wave of Zhu Houzhao and the noble family have not pleased anyone.

How could it be possible to assassinate the emperor without paying the price?

Not only the royal family and nobles would not agree, but the people of the world would not agree, including him, Grandmaster Li.

...

After listening to Wang Buyao's words, Li Mu asked: "You said that the cabinet has taken over the palace. Are all Zhu Houzhao's cronies dead?"

Wang Buyao explained: "I heard that the hospital was also attacked. Gu Dayong and Zhang Yong were busy seeking medical advice for the emperor. They asked Queen Mother Zhang to take charge of the overall situation.

Unexpectedly, Empress Dowager Zhang suddenly fainted, letting the cabinet take advantage of it. Perhaps it was dissatisfaction that they took Zhu Huzhao out to be assassinated. After waking up, Queen Mother Zhang did not regain the dominant power, but sat and watched the civilian officials liquidate them. "

Li Mu had nothing to say. Although there was no news of the emperor's life and death, he was certain that Zhu Houzhao was dead this time.

Zhu Houzhao always bears the childish style, it is strange that the civil official group can like him. If he does not take the opportunity to kill him and replace him with an obedient emperor, it is not the bureaucratic style of the Ming Dynasty.

Maybe they don't need to take action in person, just postpone the treatment time, or let the family members continue to do it, and the goal can be easily achieved.

After contemplating for a while, Li Mu slowly said: "When the news is released, the noble families are colluding with the cabinet and conspiring to kill the king. You can make up the specific content as you like.

In short, this news must spread throughout the world as soon as possible. Arrange all the aristocratic families and high-ranking officials in Beijing and record them with a dirty official.

In addition, I ordered them to go down and order all factions to track down those who attacked me in the Five Sacred Guards. No matter what forces are involved, no one will be spared! "

The facts couldn't be more obvious. It is impossible to make such a big move in Beijing without anyone's cooperation.

Although the power of the Guangshi family in Beijing was able to send the assassins in, the emperor would inevitably be on guard when traveling.

It is not that simple if you want to deploy the factory guards and the soldiers of Shuntian Mansion at the same time without leaving any clues.

Anyway, it was impossible for Zhu Houzhao to transfer it by himself, and it was impossible for the **** group to betray the emperor at this time, and the Xungui group also had no motive to participate in the killing of the emperor. The only thing left is the civil official group.

Ordinary officials are still unsure. They affect Shuntian Mansion at most, and if they want to move the factory's guards away, only the cabinet officials can personally participate.

The power of the Ming dynasty's cabinet is very powerful. It can not only refute the imperial decree, but also formulate it for the emperor.

Extinguishing the power of maintaining public order in Beijing, Li Mu could not think of any other explanations other than forging the imperial decree.

It can not be said that the aristocratic family infiltrated the factory guards, the Shuntian Mansion, the Jingying, and the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses at the same time, and they are still in control of them, right?

If it's so awesome, just put the emperor under house arrest. Why do you want to be so big and put yourself in danger?

As a righteous man, Li Mu has always despised these sinister villains.

Since these guys are all people who seek fame, then help them make a name for themselves. Against the charge of killing the king, is it not so easy to cleanse, right?

...

It wasn't just the Five Swords Sect that took action. Although the assassination case was large, it didn't matter to most of the arena. But in the process of the assassination case, it affected all parties.

The little brother has encountered unsuspecting disasters for no reason. If the boss doesn't make his head, how can he be in the rivers and lakes?

With such a big movement, the Huashan faction can track down the family, and other forces are no exception.

People in the rivers and lakes do not need so much evidence, as long as everyone finds the enemy, then they can retaliate.

The strength of the aristocratic family is not weak, and it is easy to lose both when you open the door, but it is different if you secretly start.

It seems that there are more public security crimes in the world overnight. Especially the rich people on the rankings, who have been focused on by the "robbing the rich and helping the poor", now life is even more difficult.

...

Suzhou

Since the title of "Yuan Bancheng" was added, the Yuan family is no longer peaceful.

Fortunately, they are salt sellers. They sell both official and private salt. They have thousands of salt thugs in their hands, plus the masters trained in the clan, they can stand it up.

Compared with the other companies, the Yuan family's situation is much better when they are forced to summon Xiangyong to protect themselves.

But at this time, Old Lady Yuan's heart was not at peace. Since participating in the King Killing case, he has had an unknown premonition.

It's just that in the Suzhou boundary, the power that can threaten the Yuan family really doesn't exist. With the Yuan family's local influence, it is completely trivial to arm tens of thousands of troops, and even the soldiers are readily available.

In Suzhou officials, you must look at the eyes of the Yuan family. Other than the annual tax revenue, only the Yuan family can help collect them.

As the No. 1 government in the world, Suzhou's contribution to Daming's finances directly exceeded the sum of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, and accounted for one-tenth of the Ming Dynasty's fiscal revenue.

These are the support for the Yuan family to stand tall. Even if the rich list is exposed, Mrs. Yuan has never been afraid.

But the assassination case was different. It was involved in this kind of turmoil. No matter how many hole cards the Yuan family had, once exposed, it would usher in a disaster.

The rumors and rumors all around made Grandpa Yuan guilty. There was a trace of regret deep in my heart, but it quickly disappeared.

They were all forced by Zhu Houzhao, if it weren't for Emperor Xiongzi to express his interest in the Yuan family's property from the court, they would not participate in the murder of the king.

Looking at the two kneeling on the ground and stomping on the crutches in his hands, Mrs. Yuan asked sharply: "The salt that went to Shandong and Henan was lost, and there was no clue. What did you two eat? "

Losing a few thousand stones of table salt is a trivial matter, and the Yuan family is rich in the world.

But the problem is that this kind of thing is very bad in nature. If we don't pick out the people who touched their salt as soon as possible, and let the brave people in the rivers and lakes see it, wouldn't everyone follow suit?

The purple-clothed middle-aged man hurriedly replied: "I don't want to wait for my grandfather to investigate, but the culprit's methods are too harsh.

Of the eight hundred salt dices we escorted in Shandong, only two of them survived, and all the others were slaughtered.

After the incident, I immediately used the power on the Green Forest Road to investigate. It is a pity that friends on the Green Forest Road were encircled and suppressed by the Taishan faction as soon as they got involved.

Shocked by the prestige of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, people in the rivers and lakes refused to participate, and the clues to the culprits were cut off. "

"Humph!"

With a cold shout, and stomping on the crutches again, Grandpa Yuan asked the other person: "What about you? Could it be that Wuyuejian sent an effort to obstruct it?"

The man in Tsing Yi shook his head repeatedly: "Grandpa, although we did not encounter the Wuyue Sword Sect to block the investigation, the situation in Henan is even more weird.

Soon after Yan Ding entered Henan, the collective diarrhea continued. Before he could be healed, he was ransacked by the twelve villages of Yuntai.

Not only was the salt lost, but even some of our silk and satin villages in Henan were looted by thieves.

During the tracing, we found traces of the Shaolin monk. It's just that the Yuan family and Shaolin Temple have always been good friends, they are also the rich side, there is no need to touch our wealth.

After discovering that someone had set up a suspicious formation and wanted to provoke our relationship with Shaolin Temple, I also sent someone to visit Master Fang Zheng and asked them to help. There was no result yet. "

Hearing this result, Mrs. Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then got a headache again.

Judging from the current situation, the Taishan faction has participated in the action against the Yuan family. If the Taishan faction's family is doing well, if the whole Five Sacred Sword faction meant it, then it would be a big trouble.

"For the time being, don't send someone to transport salt to the two places in person~lightnovelpub.net~ so as not to lose manpower in vain. Place an order with the Wuyue Escort to see if they accept the dart.

As long as they are willing to accept the dart, the price will follow them. Think of it as spending money to buy peace, we can't stand the toss now. "

While talking, Old Lady Yuan's heart was bleeding. Compared with the lost table salt, the loss of salt is more distressing.

Although Daming is not short of people, not everyone can act as the salt of the martial arts world.

Ordinary brawny men simply can't do this kind of tricks. The official salt is okay, the selling of private salt must be kept secret, and the loyalty of the salt must be guaranteed.

For the sake of confidentiality, most of the salt in the Yuan family were trained by the strong men recruited from their own households.

Although it's just a few hands of the dealer's style, martial arts training is martial arts training, at least the meat must be managed, and the cost is naturally not low.

Thousands of people have been lost in one wave now, and seeing Mrs. Yuan, who has been accustomed to strong winds and waves, can't help but feel distressed.
