Ye Zhao was assassinated in front of his own door, which is definitely an extraordinary event for Luoyang City. Now, in Luoyang City, who has the greatest power? It is naturally the emperor, but what about the emperor?

This is a lot of different opinions. General He Jin held the power of the world's military and horses. The Grand Tutor Yuan Wei, the Four Generations and Three Dukes, and the famous family also had a huge influence in the court and the country. However, in addition to these two, Ye Zhao held the power of the three guards of the Lu Ben, served as the post of the Sili School, and also served as the position of He/Nan Yin. In terms of power alone, in this Luoyang city, except for the emperor Liu Hong, Ye Zhao could be said to be a military and political power, not under He Jin or Yuan Wei at all.

Therefore, Ye Zhao was assassinated at the door of his house, which shocked the court and the country. However, in private, many people sighed. However, no matter what, this incident caused a huge uproar. Even the emperor in the palace sent people to explore. However, what is strange is that Ye Zhao did not investigate the entire city, but only strengthened the defense of the palace, and did not even have a symbolic search.

Just when many people didn't understand what Ye Zhao meant, a wave of assassination swept across Luoyang.

On the second day after Ye Zhao was assassinated, the congressman Li Chang died silently in his home and was slashed with a knife.

Immediately after that afternoon, the attendant Huang Wan, the counselor Dong Cheng, and the counselor Wang Yun were assassinated one after another. However, Huang Wan and Wang Yun were lucky and were rescued by guards, but Dong Cheng was shot and killed by arrows, and they died miserable.

Immediately on the third day, Hu Wuban, known as the Eight Chef, was found dead on his own bed by his wife in fear in the morning. He found a colorful poisonous snake from the bed. Qin Zhou, who was also one of the Eight Chefs, was stuffed into the pit by someone while using the toilet, and was choked to death.

On the fourth day, Yuan Wei's favorite concubine was poisoned while eating, which could be regarded as indirectly saving Yuan Wei's life. The beam above his head suddenly fell while eating, smashing his head directly. He Jin was assassinated by more than a dozen outlaws on his way home from the court.

On the fifth day, an assassin broke into Wang Yun's mansion and forced to assassinate. The servants and maids in the house were killed. Wang Yun even had his buttocks shot through, almost shooting his life. Fortunately, there were many guards in the mansion and killed the enemy to kill all the assassins. Zheng Tai, who had been driven out of the Jiade Hall by Ye Zhao, just went out for a walk, but when he came back, he lost his head.

For a moment, the entire Luoyang City was in a panic. Some people with a little fame shrank at home all day and dared not go out. Some officials would take their guards with them at any time, and would not leave them when they were eating or going to the toilet. He Jin even directly transferred Bao Hong's new army to protect himself, and the Yuan family also put martial law into law.

It would be okay if it was just targeting people like He Jin or Yuan Wei, but this assassination targeted the entire scholar class in Luoyang City. In just five days, nearly a hundred scholars died in this indiscriminate assassination. The assassination method was so weird and the means were so cruel. Even a scheming old fox like Yuan Wei, the first thing he did every day was to touch his neck to see if his head was still there.

"Ye Zhao, you are too bullying!" On the sixth day, in the court, the grand servant Yang Biao pointed at Ye Zhao and cursed sternly.

"What does Mr. Wen's words mean?" Ye Zhao looked at Yang Biao with a blank expression, puzzled.

"Don't say that this assassination has nothing to do with you!" Yang Biao gritted his teeth.

"Mr. Wen Xian, are you kidding me?" Ye Zhao looked at Yang Biao, shook his head and sneered: "If you want to add a crime, you must have a reason. I am also an assassinated person. Why did this happen if I did it?"

"Yang Biao, do you have evidence to prove that this matter was done by Ye Qing?" Liu Hong leaned against a Hu bed. He was now extremely weak and was not suitable to kneel down. Ye Zhao specially ordered Yongxing Craft House to make a Hu bed for Liu Hong to attend the court.

"This..." Yang Biao glared at Ye Zhao. He naturally knew what was going on. But these things were really hard to get on the table as evidence.

Ye Zhao narrowed his eyes and looked at Yang Biao. Even if he was not the mastermind, this person would definitely know about the assassination of himself.

"Ye Qing is also an important official of the court, and in this matter, he is also a victim. The Yang family is also a family of the three ministers of the fourth generation. Your slander of the court officials in this way would bring shame to the Yang family." Liu Hong looked at Yang Biao and frowned.

"Your Majesty, assassination in the city is so rampant. Ye Zhao, as the guard and also serves as the He/Nan Yin, should have thoroughly investigated this matter, but in the past few days, Ye Zhao has not done anything. Isn't it suspicious?" Yang Biao said in a deep voice.

"The Taifu's words are inappropriate." Ye Zhao said calmly: "It is because I have several positions, but the most important thing is to protect the safety of the palace. Now in Luoyang City, assassination in Cheng Feng is in trouble. If these assassins disturb Your Majesty, wouldn't it be Zhao's fault? I should assemble troops to protect the palace. Don't let these assassins have any opportunity to take advantage of. As for the others, they are willing but powerless!"

"Okay~" Liu Hong waved his hand, stopped Yang Biao's words, and looked at Ye Zhao and said, "I am very relieved to Ye Qing's loyalty, but this matter has caused storms and people are in panic, and no officials dare to go to court. Since you are also the He/Nan Yin and have the reputation of judging a case like a god, this matter should be settled as soon as possible, and pull those moments out for me and bring them to justice, so that these officials can feel at ease."

"I obey the order!" Ye Zhao smiled and looked at Yang Biao, and bowed to Liu Hong.

"Today's court meeting will end here, let's all part." After looking at the court that was burning at least 30% more than before, Liu Hong waved his hand.

"I'm going to leave." After the ministers bowed to see Liu Hong away, they left the court in groups of three or three.

"Xu Ming, is this really what you did?" After leaving the palace, Lu Zhi pulled Ye Zhao aside and frowned.

"Why did Master Lu ask this too?" Ye Zhao looked at Lu Zhi, saying that he had no flaws.

"I feel that Xiuming doesn't look like a person who can swallow his anger." Lu Zhi said solemnly: "If Xiuming is, we will settle this matter as soon as possible. Don't continue to make trouble, otherwise, the foundation of my great man will be hurt!"

"Don't worry, since Your Majesty has handed me over this case, Zhao will definitely ask the matter to be revealed as soon as possible." Ye Zhaosu said, admitting that he would never admit it.

Lu Zhi sighed, nodded, and said nothing. He said goodbye to Ye Zhao and left directly. In fact, there are many doubts about this matter. For example, Lu Zhi and Cai Yong, famous scholars related to Ye Zhao, have not been assassinated. Even if they don’t bring guards when they go out, they ignore them at this moment. This is unreasonable, but at this moment, Lu Zhi is not easy to expose.

After Ye Zhao returned to Weiwei Mansion, he thought for a while and said to Ji Ling: "I ordered someone to post a list. The person who took the lead in assassinating this official five days ago was the mastermind of this case. He painted the characteristics of those people. Those who had seen them in the city came to report them. As long as the clues were correct, there would be a reward."

"Here!" Ji Ling agreed and turned to do the matter. Soon, the streets and alleys of Luoyang were covered with official documents.

Yuan’s Mansion, Yuan Wei’s Study, Yuan Wei, Yuan Shao, Wang Yun and Yang Biao are all sitting around here.

"This matter must be done by Ye Zhao!" Wang Yun lay on his butt with his butt, with a sinister light flashing in his eyes. As soon as he spoke, he tricked the wound on his butt and grinned in pain: "This person is a madman!"

"He is not crazy!" Yuan Wei sighed and shook his head, "She is forcing me to bow her head!"

"Look down?" Wang Yun looked at Yuan Wei excitedly and said, "This boy is so arrogant, can we let him be so arrogant?"

Yang Biao smiled bitterly and said, "It was me who broke the rules first, but I didn't expect that this person would react so fiercely. He now posted a full list of notices in the city, just putting pressure on us and others."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yun gritted his teeth and said, "Then I'll waste it with him. I don't believe it. He dares to kill all the scholars in Luoyang City!"

"He dares not, but we can't afford to lose either!" Yuan Wei sighed and said, "But how many colleagues have died in the past few days? If this continues, I don't know whether Ye Zhao will die, but there will be no room for us and scholars to speak in this court!"

If all the officials were killed, the court might stagnate, but Liu Hong could use this as a reason to recruit people to fill the vacancy. It would be hard to say whether the new officials were imperialists or scholars. They must maintain their voice in the court, otherwise they would only be more passive.

"What does Mr. Yuan want?" Yang Biao looked at Yuan Wei and said.

"At this point, I can only avoid the edge." Yuan Wei sighed: "This matter can only stop Zhongjian."

When Yang Biao heard this, he couldn't help but remain silent. Ye Zhao suddenly went crazy, which made them a little passive. Even though he had already prepared before, Ye Zhao's actions without hesitation still made them anxious.

"Why didn't Benchu ​​say a word?" Yuan Wei couldn't help but say wonder when he saw Yuan Shao frowning and pondering.

"Since the matter is irreversible, it is a temporary compromise, but it is also a temporary solution." Yuan Shao looked up at Yuan Wei and said, "It's just that Shao was thinking, how much power Ye Zhao has in his hands is something we don't know?"

"How do you say this?" Yang Biao looked at Yuan Shao and said in confusion.

"Donald Wen Xian, think about it carefully. These assassins seem to be messy, but every assassination is planned and then moved. The whereabouts of all scholars seem to be in their control. You can always find the most appropriate time to assassinate. Is this saying that every word and action we are under Ye Zhao's surveillance?" Yuan Shao said at the end, looking up at Yuan Wei.

"If this is true, this boy will become a climate in Luoyang!" Yang Biao said in surprise.

"Solve the current problem first." Yuan Wei sighed and waved his hand.
