Chapter 550, Chaos in the Imperial Capital
The bright moon hangs high and the breeze is bleak. Located on the edge of the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital, there is an ancient house, which is the mansion of the Yu family, a third-class nobleman in the imperial capital.
The Yu family, similar to the Zhao family, are both third-class nobles in the imperial capital. However, the Yu family is a confidant of the second prince and the head of the Tiansheng slave market. In terms of status, they are still higher than the Zhao family.
Yu Fengming, the head of the Yu family, is the person most trusted by the second prince. All slave transactions are handled by Fengming and are the second prince's right-hand assistant.
Recently, the news that Muchen, the king of Zhenshan, was arrested, has spread throughout the imperial capital. At that time, Muchen's grudges in the Tiansheng Auction House were also relieved, so Yu Fengming was naturally very happy.
Not only did I eat two more bowls of rice, but I even had a few more concubines to bed tonight. As a nobleman, Yu Fengming's life is still very comfortable.
It is because Feng Ming hugged his beautiful wife and concubine. After trembling, a powerful arrow feather easily penetrated the wall and shot through Feng Ming's heart with an arrow.
"Well……"
Looking at the arrow on his chest, Yu Fengming died of anger before he could react.
"Ah... someone is here... the master is dead..."
The beautiful wife and concubine next to her immediately screamed naked, danced and jumped out of bed, looking for a place to hide.
At the same time, there were also screams of exclamations in several other courtyards of the Yu family's residence, as if many people in the Yu family also died when Yu Fengming died.
The arrow feather that killed Yu's family was the black scale arrow customized by Qianlong Army, but strangely, the word "God" is engraved on the arrow feather.
In just one night, dozens of core members of the Yu family were killed. After the killer killed everyone, he disappeared immediately. Even if the Yu family guards searched all over the mansion, they had no clues.
The next day, the Yu family encountered it and immediately spread. Some nobles who had a grudge against Mu Chen took the black scale arrow and asked Shangguan Jue for complaining, saying that the Qianlong Army assassinated the Yu family.
Shangguan Jue also looked angry. It was too ridiculous to try to convict Qianlong Army of just one arrow. After all, the black scale arrow is not a magic weapon. If he is determined to imitate it, anyone can do it.
In the court, many nobles began to denounce Qianlong Army, hoping that Shangguan Jue could arrest all Qianlong Army and interrogate them one by one until the murderer was found. The situation of Zhenshan Palace became worse and worse.
The nobles headed by the Nangong family defended the Zhenshan Palace and excused the Qianlong Army. After all, there is no real evidence now, and it is inconsistent to order the Qianlong Army to be captured.
The two sides quarreled over the suspicion of Zhenshan Prince's Mansion. Both the Murong family and the Nangong family were a bit distorted. Only the Yuwen family watched the battle and did not help each other.
Even though Zhenshan Prince's Mansion was in such a situation, the Nangong family, Wu family, and Shenbing Mansion still supported it strongly and had never hesitated.
After only a few days of quietness, all the nobles of the entire imperial capital began to argue fiercely around the Zhenshan Palace.
Under helplessness, Shangguan Jue had to issue a confinement order to all the people in Zhenshan Palace and sent Bai Yuwei to surround Zhenshan Palace. No one could enter and exit until the murderer was found.
The situation of Zhenshan Prince Mansion seems to be getting worse and worse.
Although Dugu Yue, Nangong Qing and Wu Ruoxian were anxious, they were powerless. In the imperial capital, no one could truly disobey Shangguan Jue. Even the Dugu family did not have the strength to compete with the royal family head-on.
The only way is to find out the murderer who framed Qianlong Army. Only by helping Zhenshan Prince Mansion clear the suspicion can the royal mansion be lifted.
Dugu Yue has sent people to search everywhere, hoping to find the murderer who framed Zhenshan Prince's Mansion, but the enemy is too cunning. No matter how Dugu Yue explores, he can't find any information.
The next night, another little nobleman who had a grudge against Zhenshan Palace was assassinated. Fifty-six core members of the family were killed, leaving behind the "God" mark on the scene, and a hidden dragon army
Standard long sword.
Obviously, these things were left by the murderer on purpose, as if telling everyone that Qianlong Army is a member of the "God" organization.
Shangguan Jue sat on the dragon chaise, looked at the report on the table, and said to several secret guards: "Who is it... why did they frame the Qianlong Army, and why did they leave the 'God' symbol, what exactly are they doing
?”
"Looking back to Your Majesty, judging from the scars of the corpse, the opponent is very strong, and the peak warriors of the Tianwu Realm are all fatal. Obviously, the opponent's assassination was planned in a dense manner, and no trace was left on the scene."
"You guys are the most sensitive secret guards. Tell me, who is the murderer?"
"When you go back to your Majesty, your subordinates and others speculate that the enemy should have a grudge against the Zhenshan Palace, and that they are not from the Empire. Their purpose is to do so, just hope that the imperial capital will be in chaos, and then force Your Majesty to punish the Zhenshan Palace and kill people with a knife."
Shangguan Jue is not stupid either. His opponent has no traces every time, but he deliberately wants to connect with Qianlong Army. Obviously, the enemy wants to use his own hands to push the Zhenshan Palace out.
"Enhance the guards and order all the guards to be dispatched to completely block the noble areas. Any person entering and leaving need to be inspected. Once suspicious people are found, they will be captured immediately."
No matter who did it, Shangguan must never let such a thing happen.
Hundreds of thousands of guards immediately patrolled the streets of the noble district. With so many people staring at them, there were indeed fewer assassinations.
But the murderer still did not give up. He appeared for many days and was found by the guards. There were several conflicts between the two sides. However, in every conflict, the guards were no match for each other. Not only did they hurt many soldiers, but they also did not catch anyone.
arrive.
The imperial capital is different from Tianhui City, and it is more cautious. Although the Guards' combat power is not as good as the Qianlong Army, the Guards are well-equipped and have a formation plate to search for the enemy. There are so many Guards staring at them.
It is indeed difficult for the soldiers of the army to take action. If it weren't for the strange body skills, there would have been casualties now.
Because of the relentless pursuit of the Guards, the Qianlong Army was restricted from its movements, and they could only send more powerful combat power to carry out assassination missions.
Because the people who assassinated in the early stage are not very strong, the success rate of assassination is very high. As the target of assassination becomes stronger and stronger, even if the major general takes action, he will not be foolproof.
However, the ubiquitous hidden arrows and hidden weapons still made many nobles in the imperial capital worried.
For a week, people were assassinated every day. Although the Guards had fought with the enemy, the opponent's body was strange and there were magic weapons with hidden aura. If they were determined to escape, the Guards would not be able to catch up.
As the commander of the Guards, Yu Guang naturally blamed the most.
Yu Guang, who had just been taught a lesson by Shangguan Jue, returned to the camp and was furious and smashed things everywhere.
"Bastard! These bastards... wait for me, I must kill you all!"
Seeing Yu Guang furious, some other generals and officials were of course hiding far away. Only Jiang Xing dared to enter the camp and said, "Commander, I have some ideas."
Yu Guang, who was worried about no countermeasures, immediately said, "If you have anything to say, you can say it and listen."
