The words of the Han emperor were full of murderous intent, as if one could smell the endless bloody smell in his words.
This emperor was not as kind as he looked.
Kill, kill them all.
It must be suppressed with iron and blood, so that the whole world knows how serious the consequences of this assassination are.
How terrible is the anger of the royal family.
Qin Ying took the imperial edict and left without saying a word.
On this day, the palace was in a state of panic, and everyone was in danger.
Qin Ying ignored his pain, held the imperial edict in his hand, personally armed and led the guards to thoroughly investigate the entire palace.
After investigation, it was found that these assassins were all exiled to the frontiers who had committed crimes in the imperial capital.
There were too many people exiled to the frontiers, and some of them were even nameless, so it was difficult to verify.
But no matter how difficult it was, under an imperial edict, the entire imperial capital's intelligence department started to operate.
This investigation really involved a lot of people.
From eunuchs to palace maids, from concubines to officials, everyone was investigated, and more or less involved. All of them were arrested and beheaded, including anyone outside the palace who had contact with the assassin. No one was spared.
Until late at night, Qin Ying's knife was blunt.
No less than 200 people died in his hands.
Those who are interested can see that most of the people Qin Ying killed were from the camps of the eldest prince and the eighth prince. It makes people wonder if the assassination is related to the two princes?
Some smart people immediately thought that perhaps
The ninth prince Qin Ying's move was to exclude dissidents?
Within a day, Qin Ying showed everyone his cold and fierce side, but he had the imperial edict in his hand, so who dared to say no?
At this time, no one dared to stand up and oppose.
The assassination was getting more and more involved, and more and more people died.
The sky of the palace seemed to be stained red with blood, and the smell of blood could not be dissipated for a long time.
Midnight.
Qin Ying dragged his tired body back to Tingchao Pavilion. Because Liu Yunxian had not woken up yet, he stayed here temporarily.
Today, he had broken several knives in his hand, and the blood flowed like a river, but he had no mercy in his heart.
He was not a sentimental and indecisive person.
Since there was no evidence, he would wash it all the way with blood. He didn't believe that everyone was so tight-lipped?
Even if he had to pry, he would pry out a name.
After washing his bloody hands with clean water, Qin Ying walked to the bronze mirror and looked at the scars on his body with a colder look.
I wanted to fight wits and courage with Qin Dang and the others, but you insisted on fighting fiercely. Since you have already drawn your knife, don't blame me for showing my sword.
Qin Ying went to see Liu Yunxian and checked her injuries.
She hadn't woken up yet, her condition was stable, and there was no sign of infection or inflammation in her wound, so Qin Ying felt relieved.
When he walked out of the room, Lao Huang was already waiting outside the door.
"Your Highness, the things you ordered have been done." Lao Huang stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
"Where are they?" Qin Ying's eyes flashed.
"In the East Gate Square, a total of 800 people."
Lao Huang said, and presented the Golden Dragon Order respectfully.
"Go and have a look." Qin Ying took the token and walked towards the East Gate.
Soon, the two walked to the East Gate.
In the night, a group of soldiers stood.
During the day, they were still training in the military camp until Lao Huang appeared with the Golden Dragon Order, and these 800 people were brought into the palace. From then on, they were Qin Ying's guards.
They were originally ordinary people from poor families, without any political background or resources, and they were cannon fodder in the army.
Therefore, when these people learned that they were going to become the guards of the Ninth Prince, they were extremely excited.
Becoming the prince's guard means promotion and wealth, and the living conditions in the palace are much better than those in the military camp.
What's more, the current Ninth Prince is in the limelight and is very popular with His Majesty. If one day, the crown prince is appointed, they will also have the opportunity to step into the Golden Palace.
Therefore, these people are extremely grateful to Qin Ying for choosing them. Everyone's eyes are burning, and they can't wait to open their hearts to show their loyalty.
"I just come to get to know you tonight. Starting tomorrow, I will arrange a training plan." Qin Ying's eyes swept across their faces, and his voice was sonorous and powerful.
"Disband."
Everyone looked at each other... Training?
Qin Ying knew what they were thinking.
Think that if you enter the palace and get close to the prince, you can rise to prominence from now on
?
Are you dreaming?
I, Qin Ying, don't feed idle people with rice.
After this assassination, Qin Ying figured out too many things.
Qin Dang has a personal army that is loyal to him. Now that Qin Dang has drawn his butcher knife, Qin Ying must have his own armed forces if he wants to fight back.
An army that completely obeys his orders and will not betray him under any circumstances.
After this group of people left, on the way back to Tingchao Pavilion.
Lao Huang frowned and whispered: "Your Highness, you killed many people today. They are more or less related to the eldest prince and the eighth prince. Are you really sure that these two are the masterminds behind the scenes?"
Qin Ying exhaled and said in a deep voice: "At the beginning, I was only 50% sure. After meeting them today, I am 100% sure."
Lao Huang nodded and said in a deep voice: "The grandmaster Iron Claw Flying Eagle who died in my hands, the martial arts he used are the same as the eldest prince Qin Dang, and they should be a master-disciple relationship. I wonder if this can be used as evidence? "
Qin Ying was silent for a while after hearing this, then shook his head and said: "No, if the martial arts moves are the same, it cannot be used as evidence, and no one can prove that Iron Claw Flying Eagle is Qin Dang's master."
"Today, I killed a lot of people. Everyone who died under my knife had some relationship with the assassins, but they would rather die than reveal anything."
Qin Ying took a deep breath. This is the most painful part of handling the case. He clearly guessed who it was, but there was no substantial evidence.
"Your Highness, I have something to say. I don't know if I should say it." Old Huang suddenly changed the subject, looking a little embarrassed.
Qin Ying said: "Just say it, we don't have to go through all the formalities."
Old Huang said carefully: "Today, the man that Your Highness beat up was actually a talented person. I even drank with him a few times."
Qin Ying was stunned, "You mean Zhao Hu? Old Huang, do you want to plead for him?"
Old Huang shook his head, "It's not a plea. This assassination was a joint effort from inside and outside. Zhao Hu was negligent, but his crime was not punishable by death. Your Highness, why don't you spare his life? This man is loyal, why not take the opportunity to recruit him into Your Highness's camp."
Qin Ying pondered for a moment and said: "Find out. If his background is clean and he has nothing to do with this matter, then his life can be spared, but the death penalty can be spared, but the living crime cannot be escaped. First, he will be locked up in the sky prison and suffer for a few days."
"Thank you for your mercy, Your Highness." Old Huang squeezed out a not-so-good-looking smile, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, which was very awkward.
Old Huang was very pleased with the change of His Highness. He was no longer the rude and unreasonable useless man who indulged in wine and sex all day long.
"Your Highness, the Princess of Wei wants to see you."
As soon as they arrived at Tingchao Pavilion, a palace maid ran over to report.
"Let her come over." Qin Ying's voice fell.
Old Huang disappeared into the darkness.
After a while, Wei Zhiyan, wearing a light yellow palace skirt, came over.
