Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Everyone first looked at the vacant seats, then looked in the direction of the gate, and then raised their wine bottles to gesture.

"Duke Zhao, please."

After a glass of wine, everyone started chatting.

They didn't talk about serious matters, but instead chatted about the past.

For example, they and their families put in so much effort and made so many great contributions to the establishment of the Tang Dynasty.

After three rounds of wine, the five flavors of food are over.

Changsun Wuji waved his hand towards Changsun Xun and said, "No more waiting! Close the door. No one is allowed to approach within a 50-step radius of the lobby."

"promise!"

After receiving the order, Chang Sunxun quickly walked out of the hall.

When he came back after making all the arrangements, he gently closed the heavy door.

The atmosphere in the lobby was already solemn, and it became even more depressing after the door closed.

After a while.

Changsun Wuji's eyes swept over the crowd. He said in a deep voice, "Chu Suiliang didn't come. How do you guys handle this matter?"

this...

Everyone's expressions were slightly stunned.

Just as this group of people were hesitating, Changsun Wuji's voice sounded again.

"Chu Suiliang knows all our plans!"

Boom~

Changsun Wuji's words were like a thunderclap that exploded in everyone's mind.

In the silent lobby, the sound of rapid breathing was suddenly heard.

Yuwen Jie said with a sinister expression, "Chu Suiliang betrayed us midway. He might reveal our plans in order to redeem himself for his crimes!"

"For our safety, we must not let him know!"

What they do is a matter of life and death, so how can they allow such a huge hidden danger to exist?

If most people did not agree to continue, there would be no problem, but now there is only Chu Suiliang, and it is impossible to let him live until tomorrow.

Xie Shufang said coldly: "I suggest getting rid of Chu Suiliang tonight!"

The others nodded and then agreed.

"I agree!"

At the last moment, they must be extremely cautious.

After all, it wasn’t just the few people present who planned this operation; all the core members of their family were involved.

On the main seat.

Zhang Sun Wuji said coldly: "Since everyone agrees, then we should get rid of this traitor Chu Suiliang to prevent future troubles!"

He waved to Chang Sunxun and gave instructions in a deep voice.

"Send five... no, send twenty assassins to eliminate Chu Suiliang at all costs!"

"And his two offspring!"

Chu Suiliang's father, Chu Liang, died of illness last year. Your Majesty was very sad when he heard the news and even stopped court for a day to express his condolences.

The current Chu Mansion only has a few people including Chu Suiliang and his family.

"As ordered!"

After receiving the order, Chang Sunxun strode out of the hall.

Everyone looked at Chang Sunxun's leaving figure, with a trace of reluctance on their faces, but soon their expressions became extremely firm.

Zhang Sun Wuji said in a deep voice: "Everyone, let's discuss the specific action plan now!"

"it is good."

Everyone nodded seriously.

...

In the dead of night, there were no other pedestrians on the streets except for the occasional night watchman and patrolling gang members.

Pingkang Square.

In the study room in the backyard of the Chu Mansion.

Chu Suiliang, who was wearing a white singlet, put down the pen and ink in his hand, and then asked the old butler with gray beard.

"Madam, have Yanfu and Yanchong left Chang'an?"

The old housekeeper nodded and said, "Master, the Madam and the two young masters have already left Chang'an. Judging by their pace, they are probably already out of Yongzhou."

As the old butler's voice fell, the study fell into silence again.

a long time.

Chu Suiliang whispered, "Uncle Zhong, you should go too. Go home and enjoy your old age."

The old housekeeper shook his head and said, "Master, I have served you for over fifty years and have watched you grow up. This is my home."

"Besides, I am eighty-three years old this year. I have lived enough. If I die early, I can go down and serve the master."

Hearing the old housekeeper's words, Chu Suiliang showed a bitter smile on his face.

This old man still has such a stubborn temper.

Chu Suiliang sighed and said, "Uncle Zhong, why did you stay and seek death?"

The old butler shook his head and then asked in a low voice, "Master, why are you so sure that Duke Zhao will send someone to harm you?"

After the master secretly sent his wife and two young masters away today, he dismissed all the servants in the evening.

Such disastrous behavior was difficult for him to understand.

Chu Suiliang said bitterly, "I know too many secrets, and I didn't go to the banquet tonight. They won't keep me as a hidden danger!"

The old housekeeper asked anxiously, "Master, why don't you go find Duke Han?"

"I believe that with the protection of Duke Han, Zhangsun Wuji, Yuwen Jie and others won't dare to touch you!"

Looking for Du He?

If he could find Du He, he would have done so long ago. Why wait until now?

Chu Suiliang stood up and said in a complicated tone, "Uncle Zhong, if I go to seek Du He's protection, Changsun Wuji, Yuwen Jie and the others will certainly be beheaded, but I'm afraid my family and I will not survive."

"Only if I am killed by Zhangsun Wuji's men can my wife and children survive!"

The biggest crisis hanging over him and his family was not the assassins sent by Zhangsun Wuji, Yuwen Jie and others, but the rebellion in which he was involved.

This is an act of killing nine generations of a clan!

But if he died tonight, his family and clan would be able to escape from the vortex of rebellion.

He was blinded by power and did many wrong things, for which he could only make up with his life.

The old butler looked at the master who was determined to die. He hesitated for a moment and then sighed sadly.

"Hey~"

At this moment, a large group of figures flashed outside the window, and then the unlocked door of the room was kicked open heavily.

Chu Suiliang looked at a group of masked burly men and asked calmly.

"Are you so late?"

"If you don't come over soon, I'll be so sleepy I'll fall asleep."

The masked men looked at each other, then raised their crossbows and shot at Chu Suiliang and the old butler.

"Hey~"

"Hey~"

After a round of arrow rain, Chu Suiliang and the old housekeeper were covered with domestic bows and arrows.

The killers rushed forward and stabbed him more than ten times.

Then he took out some wax and poured it into the study, and then set it on fire.

Seeing flames coming out of the study, they quickly evacuated.

Less than half an hour.

The bad guys on night patrol discovered a fire in the mansion. They broke the door and put out the fire in time, and dragged Chu Suiliang out of the fire before his body was burned.

...

The next day.

A meeting of hundreds of officials.

When everyone found out that Chu Suiliang did not attend the court, their faces were filled with astonishment.

"Why didn't Chu Suiliang come?"

"Are you taking sick leave?"

While they were muttering in their hearts, they kept their eyes on Zhangsun Wuji, Yuwen Jie, Yu Zhining, Xie Shufang and others.

Li Chengqian's eyes swept over Changsun Wuji, and he didn't ask anyone to find Chu Suiliang, but waved his hand.

"Let's begin today's court meeting."

Amid the officials' confusion, the heads of various departments quickly reported on their government affairs.

It’s time to report the emergency.

Wannian County Magistrate Pei Xingjian stood up holding a tablet and reported with a serious expression.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince reported that a fire broke out in the residence of Minister Chu Suiliang last night. When the night patrol entered to put out the fire, they discovered that Minister Chu had already died."

"Minister Chu had 16 arrows stuck in his body and hundreds of knife wounds!"
