Finally, we arrived at the backyard, which was engulfed by weeds.

At first glance, the entire palace was in a state of desolation and ruin.

Lush vines and plants covered the stone steps and windowsills, and green saplings sprouted from the cracks in the bricks, causing the ground to bulge and crack.

Since Shu Yichao never gave Zhu Jingli the money to renovate the palace, the emperor had no choice but to live in this dilapidated place.

Fortunately, after experiencing these years of turmoil, he didn't have many relatives around him, so he didn't need such a large place.

As long as you find a slightly cleaner side hall, you can easily accommodate the whole family.

At this time, Zhu Jingli was standing at the front door of the side hall, staring into the distance.

Zhu Jingli finally breathed a sigh of relief when the old eunuch appeared in his sight.

"What happened?"

As soon as the old eunuch came in front of him, Zhu Jingli couldn't wait to speak.

"What's going on outside?"

The flames rising into the sky and the shouts and cries of killing everywhere last night kept Zhu Jingli awake all night.

Fearing that something unexpected might happen, he could only close the palace gates and hide in a side hall trembling with fear, burning incense and praying for the blessings of his ancestors.

It was not until the noise became quieter this morning that he asked the old eunuch to go out and inquire about the situation.

“…” The old eunuch’s face turned pale.

"Your Majesty, this is too tragic."

“It’s so tragic.

He muttered incoherently.

"The streets outside are covered in blood, almost reaching my ankles.

"dead.

“There are dead bodies everywhere.”

"Lord Luo, Lord Wu, and..."

“They were all chopped off!”

"The grass-roots soldiers are still arresting people and killing people, going door to door.

"Heads are piled up like a mountain in the city."

"I'm almost scared to death!"

The old eunuch was obviously terrified.

From his confusing narration, Zhu Jingli managed to figure out the situation.

The mutiny plan of Rosen, Shi Lao and others failed.

All the participants were beheaded, and then Shu Yichao arrested people according to their household registration books, killing them until heads rolled and blood flowed like a river.

The statement that doctors should not be punished was obviously used as toilet paper by Shu Yichao to wipe his butt.

“What should I do?!”

After hearing what the old eunuch said, Zhu Jingli groaned in pain.

He pointed at Zhu Qing'e who came rushing over after hearing the news and scolded her.

"Look what you've done!"

"Don't you think about it? How can a fence-sitter like Rosen be a match for the King of Dian?"

“This time it failed

"If the clues lead to you.

"I'm afraid we're all going to suffer!"

"...Only if you can find out about it and bring it to me." Zhu Qing'e didn't care.

"I handled it very cleanly from beginning to end."

“It depends on the brutal and barbaric methods of the King of Dian.

"He will never be able to produce evidence in his lifetime-

"Father, just follow the original plan and put all the blame on those dead people.

"Maybe he killed them all and didn't even know we were involved."

"You, you!" Zhu Jingli's beard was shaking.

Outside Chengdu.

"King Chuang!"

"Look who we caught?"

Amidst a burst of excited shouts, several cavalrymen grabbed a captive who was tied up and galloped to Li Laiheng's side.

Since Li Laiheng was from Shaanxi and had rich experience in cavalry combat when he was a bandit, Shu Yichao asked him to train cavalry.

Then: These cavalrymen who were patrolling outside the city had been chasing the fleeing people since last night and had successfully caught many of those who wanted to escape.

"Yo." Li Laiheng rode forward.

"Isn't this General Tan?" He tutted his words.

"Why are you so embarrassed?"

"Didn't you choose a good horse when you escaped last night?"

"Hum hum."

"Mmmm, mmm." After the soldiers took the rag out of Tan Hong's mouth, he looked at Li Laiheng coldly.

He and Li Laiheng have known each other for a long time.

They also fought side by side under the banner of Emperor Yongli.

Therefore, he also knew that he would not survive today.

When the peasant army counterattacked Chongqing, they were on the verge of success.

It was he who surrendered at the critical moment and stabbed Li Laiheng and others in the back, causing the counterattack to fail and become a bubble.

The two of them thus formed a blood feud.

Therefore, even after surrendering to Shu Yichao, Tan Hong was still worried about whether he would be retaliated by Li Laiheng.

Ultimately, this led to his participation in the mutiny.

It's just

The ending was a bit tragic.

After discovering that the soldiers were running away and something was wrong, Tan Hong planned to escape without saying a word.

Unfortunately, he was still caught by the cavalry arranged by Shu Yichao to pursue him.

"I'll tell you everything I know." said Tan Hong.

"Give me a quick death."

"Hehehe." Li Laiheng sneered.

"rest assured."

"I will make you tell me everything I want to know, word for word."

"As for pleasure?"

"I'll let my brothers have a good time.

"you!!"

An hour later, Li Laiheng rushed into Chengdu City with the blood-stained confession.

Along the way, there are bloody Jingguan.

They were either high-ranking officials or families with generations of nobility. Now, they had all become materials for Shu Yichao to build up.

"King of Heaven." After seeing Shu Yichao from afar, Li Laiheng hurriedly dismounted.

"I have a confession here!"

"The mastermind behind last night's mutiny is..."

"Oh." Shu Yichao raised his eyelids and glanced at Li Laiheng.

"Little King Chuang, you've come at the perfect time.

"Walk!"

"To the Palace!"

"It just so happens that I want to do the whole thing."

"Huh?" Li Laiheng subconsciously glanced at his confession.

We haven't said who it is yet?

Heavenly King, you know it?

Of course Shu Yichao knew.

As for the reason

Time goes back a moment.

"It's really strange. Everyone has been killed."

Shu Yichao scratched his head.

"Why hasn't this palace conspiracy been resolved yet?"

"Could it be that the real mastermind behind this hasn't been uncovered yet?"

“Hey hey hey!!”

he shouted.

"that whoever"

"Give me a hint."

【…...】

The host called me.

System 12345 responded hurriedly.

【Host!】

Yes, yes, yes!!

[I'm here!?]

[Host, what can I do for you?]

[Have you changed your mind and are planning to recruit Zhu Qing'e?]

That's right!

[Look at the noise she made this time—]

[This is quite a skill.]

If you could get her...

Before System 12345 could explain to Shu Yichao the benefits of recruiting or marrying Zhu Qing'e, Shu Yichao understood.

"Oh, it's her after all."

“I knew

"I remember there was a hint before, saying that the target had conspiracy-like characteristics."

"Sure enough, even though this tip sounds off-key, not a single word of it is empty talk."
