Chapter 1178 Zhao Family
The Yinlin Guards, the Chu family secret guards, and the Dongfang Yi brothers all took action at the same time to investigate the real culprit behind the scenes.
Because the enemy is in the dark and they are in the light, the investigation of the case will be very detrimental to them. As soon as they show up, the assassins in black will come out and kidnap them, take them to a secret and remote place and kill them.
Therefore, the Chu family lost many secret guards.
Even the Silver Lin Guards, four of them fell into the opponent's hands and disappeared without a trace.
However, if you think about it, the outcome will not be much better.
Later, Chu Jingqi secretly trusted the fox and asked his people to move from the light to the dark to investigate the matter in the dark.
Doesn’t the other party like to hide and seek, then let’s all hide and seek, not only hide and seek, but also stuffing.
Deliberately sending one or two secret guards of the Chu family to leave Prince Anjun's mansion to lure the black-clothed assassins into taking the bait.
As soon as the black-clothed assassin shows up to kidnap someone, other Chu family secret guards, Yinlin guards, Dongfang Yi and others who have been hiding in the dark for a long time will swarm up and arrest the person.
Using this trick, they arrested many people in one day. Basically, they captured one-third of the assassins in black who were hiding around Prince An's Mansion and monitoring Prince An's Mansion.
However, it is a pity that as soon as those men in black are caught, they will bite the poisonous naan in their teeth and commit suicide without giving them a chance to be interrogated.
Everyone had been busy all day, but except for killing dozens of assassins in black, there was no progress in the case.
In the evening, another group of black-clothed assassins were finally lured out. This time, when they were caught, two of the black-clothed assassins were removed by Dongfang Yi and Senior Brother at lightning speed, allowing them to Even if you want to poison yourself, you can't.
Seeing that there was finally someone to interrogate, Chu Yuexi immediately took the two of them to the prison, poured hot oil on them, whipped them with spicy whips, burned their little brothers, pulled out their nails, and other cruel and cruel punishments.
Finally, one of them couldn't stand it any longer and confessed to the Zhao family.
After burning the incense, the sealed confession was presented to the emperor. The emperor took it and read it carefully, and said in surprise, "What, the murderer is the Zhao family? Which Zhao family?"
The emperor thought for a long time, but he couldn't think of any wealthy family named Zhao in the capital who had the ability to produce hundreds or thousands of black-clad assassins at once.
The second prince on the side was silent and asked. "Is it the Zhao family in Xicheng?"
"Hey, the Second Prince knows?" The emperor looked at the Second Prince.
The second prince said, "It's no wonder that the emperor doesn't know about the Zhao family. This matter started from forty years ago..."
The second prince, blah blah blah, told the grievances between the Zhao family and the Chu family one by one.
At that time, the second prince was already a young prince, and he often participated in some court affairs with his father. He remembered the overt and secret struggles between the Zhao family and the Chu family very clearly. Back then, the deceased old man of the Zhao family killed several of his brothers, the old man Chu, when he was about to win the final battle between the Dasheng Kingdom and the Tatars.
Afterwards, not only did Mr. Zhao not feel guilty, he also exclusively enjoyed the military exploits made by Mr. Chu that time. He also sued Mr. Chu in front of the emperor, causing the emperor to misunderstand Mr. Chu and died without even a reward.
Who would have known that when the people in the Zhao family were rewarded and decorated with lanterns and festoons, Mr. Chu came back alive and brought back a lot of evidence to poke holes in Mr. Zhao.
After the emperor saw the evidence, he was so angry that he killed Mr. Zhao on the spot.
Because of this, the Zhao family and the Chu family formed an indissoluble feud.
After the second prince finished talking about the grievances between the two families, he also analyzed, "Because in the past few decades, the Zhao family has kept a low profile, and the family situation has been getting worse year by year. They have gradually faded out of the sight of people in the capital, and everyone has regarded the Zhao family as I forgot about it, but it is so easy to forget the blood feud, and the Chu family and his son have made several outstanding military exploits in the past few years, enough to hurt the eyes of the Zhao family. "
Therefore, it is only a matter of time that the Zhao family will take action against the Chu family.
After hearing this, the emperor angrily slapped the table in front of him, "The Zhao family's past grievances were all caused by themselves. If they hadn't plotted against the Chu family first, how could they have been caught by the old man of the Chu family?" If there is a clue, how can we blame the Chu family for this? ”
"Your Majesty, I don't think so." The second prince said, "The people of the Zhao family have always been selfish and narrow-minded. When the Tatars invaded, the emperor ordered the Zhao family army and the Chu family army to fight against the enemy together and drive the Tatars out of the territory of Dasheng. ”
"At that time, the Chu family's army was higher than the Zhao family's army in every aspect, and they suppressed the Zhao family's army. However, the Zhao family's army was always unconvinced and always made trouble for the Chu family's army. Mr. Chu was tolerant and generous. Most of the time, he did not care about the Zhao family. In this way , On the contrary, the people of the Zhao family are like unreasonable children, making people laugh at every turn. Therefore, the people of the Zhao family are very resentful of the people of the Chu family. "
"In that battle, the Zhao family wanted to show off before the Chu family's army and become the first army of the Dasheng Kingdom. However, the result was the opposite. The Zhao family's army fought in the vanguard, but lost twice in a row, and many people died. Later, the Chu family's army sent troops, I only won a few times for Da Shengguo.”
"The Chu family's army once again stole the show in front of the Zhao family's army, blocking the Zhao family's path to becoming the first army of the Dasheng Kingdom. Mr. Zhao worked hard to dig a hole for Mr. Chu to jump in during the last battle. He killed Mr. Chu’s biological brother.”
“Although it was natural for Mr. Chu to present the evidence that the Zhao family had killed the Chu family to the emperor after he came back alive, but in the eyes of the Zhao family, Mr. Chu was the devil who dragged them from heaven to hell. ”
"The people of the Zhao family are narrow-minded and will not think about their own fault. They will only think about the fact that the Chu family has harmed the Zhao family so that they will never be able to serve as officials in the court. The Zhao family has lost the Zhao family army and the Zhao family." With such overwhelming power, how can they let go of the Chu family?”
Chu Yuexi listened for a long time before she finally understood, "So, this Zhao family has a great background?"
"Isn't that right? If Mr. Chu hadn't been lucky enough to come back alive, then today's Chu family would most likely be the Zhao family." The second prince said.
Back then, Mrs. Chu's younger brother died and failed to leave an heir. Chu Xuanyu was only in his teens at the time and had not yet matured. If Mr. Chu also died, the Chu family would be finished, even if Chu Xuanyu grew up. It is ready, but by that time, I am afraid that the Chu family army will have long since fallen apart and been devoured by other forces, and then there will be no Anjun Prince's Palace today.
The emperor snorted and looked very embarrassed, "No matter what the Zhao family is like, if they dare to assassinate the imperial official today, then I cannot let them off lightly."
