People write diaries in Zongwu, and the heroes collapse

Chapter 661: Rebellious Officials and Traitors

"I don't care what method you use, I will find him today. I want to see him alive or dead."

Zhao Ji got angry and said with a gloomy face.

The generals of the Imperial Guard had no choice but to ask Cai Jing for help again. Who knew where Lu Chen was hiding? He might even have left the palace.

"The emperor can summon Liu Jiyan here. The person he is looking for must be Liu Jiyan."

Cai Jing took the opportunity to recommend it.

"Is this the man you recommended to take over as the God Catcher?"

Zhao Ji did not know Liu Jiyan, but this person was recommended by Cai Jing. Since Cai Jing took a fancy to this person, this person must have extraordinary abilities.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Liu Jiyan is a man of extraordinary wisdom and courage, and his martial arts skills are extraordinary. His intelligence is not inferior to that of the God Catcher, so I recommend him."

Cai Jing said.

"The person recommended by the Lord will definitely not be a problem, so call him here."

Zhao Ji nodded. He still trusted Cai Jing very much.

Although Cai Jing had a bad reputation, this was what Zhao Ji needed. If Cai Jing had a very good reputation, Zhao Ji would be wary of him.

Liu Jiyan had been lying in ambush in the palace, waiting to capture Lu Chen.

However, after waiting for more than two hours, there was no sign of Lu Chen, which made him secretly curse the Imperial Guards for having lived too comfortably over the years. The harem was so small, and a living person went in, but they still couldn't find him after four hours of searching. He didn't even need to think about it, he knew that these people in the Imperial Guards were too useless.

If they let the people from the Six Gates look for him, it wouldn't take so long. They would only need half an hour to find the person.

Of course, he was just thinking about it. An outsider like him could not enter the harem without the emperor's summons.

A eunuch hurried over and brought Zhao Ji's order: "The emperor has ordered Liu Jiyan to enter the harem to search for the whereabouts of Wu Yunhou. If he is alive, he must be found, or his body must be found."

Liu Jiyan did not dare to delay and hurriedly followed the eunuch into the harem to meet Zhao Ji.

After seeing Liu Jiyan, Zhao Ji looked at him and nodded: "Are you the Liu Jiyan recommended by Cai Aiqing?"

"It's Wei Chen."

Liu Jiyan suppressed the excitement in his heart and bowed, not daring to be negligent in the slightest. As long as he was appreciated by the emperor, the word "Agency" in the title of Acting Sect Leader could be removed.

When Zhao Ji saw that Liu Jiyan was handsome and had an extraordinary bearing, he secretly praised Cai Jing for his ability to judge people. He felt that he could only feel at ease if the state affairs were handed over to Cai Jing's hands.

"Lu Chen entered the harem without permission, which is a serious crime. I don't know where he went to avoid my punishment."

Zhao Ji said: "The Imperial Guards are incompetent. We have been searching for such a long time but have found nothing. Lord Cai recommended you to me. What advice do you have? Find this Marquis Wuyun for me as soon as possible."

"Reporting to your Majesty, Lu Chen is a man of the underworld, and is good at hiding. The Imperial Guards are not very familiar with underworld figures, so it is not surprising that they cannot find Lu Chen. This matter may be difficult for others, but for me, it is a piece of cake."

Liu Jiyan said confidently.

"it is good!"

Zhao Ji was very pleased. As expected of someone recommended by Cai Jing, he looked at Liu Jiyan with admiration and said to her, "If you can find Wu Yunhou within an hour, you will be the leader of the Six Gates. The God of Capture is old, and it's time for him to retire."

After receiving Zhao Ji's promise, Liu Jiyan was extremely excited. As long as he could find Lu Chen's whereabouts within an hour, he would be the leader of the Six Gates.

He had long coveted the position of the leader of the Six Gates. During this period of time, although he was able to act tyrannically within the Six Gates, he knew very well in his heart that there were still many people who did not submit to him.

He must achieve some results so that the government can see his value.

"I will not let you down. I will go find the whereabouts of Marquis Wuyun now."

After saying that, Liu Jiyan stood up and went to look for Lu Chen.

However, at this moment, a eunuch hurried in and even fell on the road. After getting up, he came to see Zhao Ji without even having time to brush off the dust on his body.

"Official, something happened, something happened..."

The eunuch slid down to his knees and came in front of Zhao Ji, and said quickly: "Your Majesty, Prince Yun, he, he..."

"What happened to Prince Yun?"

Zhao Ji asked anxiously.

Prince Yun was the third son of Zhao Ji. He was smart since childhood and inherited his cultural talent. He was proficient in playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It can be said that he was deeply loved by the emperor.

"Prince Yun, he, he is dead."

The eunuch cried.

"Impossible, Prince Yun has always been in good health, how could he die?"

Zhao Ji was shocked, unable to believe it. Prince Yun was the one who was most like him and his favorite.

He had always paid special attention to Prince Yun's health. There was nothing wrong with Prince Yun's health, so how could he die suddenly?

Cai Jing was the one who reacted quickly. He quickly asked the eunuch who reported the news, "How did Prince Yun die?"

"Replying to Prime Minister Cai, Prince Yun was assassinated on his way back home, and the murderer had disappeared when he was found."

The eunuch who reported the news said with his head down.

"Investigate! Investigate for me. You must find out who the murderer is. I will kill all his clans."

Upon hearing that Prince Yun was assassinated, Zhao Ji immediately roared in anger.

"Report, the Prince of Wu'an was assassinated in the palace!"

"Report, Duke Run was killed!"

"Report, Duke Wei was killed!"

"Report..."

In a short period of time, more than a dozen members of the Zhao clan were killed. This news shocked everyone.

Daring to assassinate the Zhao royal family within the territory of the Song Dynasty is simply a contempt for the imperial court.

"Who is it? Who is it? Cai Jing, tell me, which traitor dared to cause chaos?"

Zhao Ji stared at Cai Jing with a pair of bloodthirsty eyes. It was the first time that Cai Jing saw Zhao Ji so angry, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.

He could also understand why Zhao Ji was so angry. Someone actually dared to assassinate the royal family in the capital. What was the difference between this and rebellion? The first person he thought of was King Zuo Wu.

There are not many forces in the entire capital that have the courage to assassinate so many members of the royal family at one time.

Even if some forces could do it, they didn't have the courage to do so. After eliminating them one by one, he couldn't think of anyone else except King Zuo Wu.

However, he still had a puzzlement in his heart. Even if Zuo Wuwang really wanted to rebel, he would not choose to assassinate these people. Wouldn't that alert the enemy? The best choice should be to assassinate Zhao Ji.

"Report, Prince Yi was assassinated and died of his injuries!"

Another eunuch came to report the news.

"Pfft!"

The shocked Zhao Ji spat out a mouthful of blood. He stared at Cai Jing fiercely and said, "You, you go and check for me. You must find out which traitor did this."

Zhao Ji realized that this was definitely not an ordinary incident. It was very likely that someone wanted to rebel, and the other party might be targeting the throne.
