C148

The heavily armored guards surrounded the beautiful woman and the eunuchs and nannies so that not even a drop of water could trickle through.

"Who let you in!?" This is the Daughter Hall, did you tough men enter just like you said? Get out of here! " The old eunuch was furious, pointing at the Worryfree Hall person's nose and starting to curse.

As soon as the sun rose, the palace would have so many corpses that would bear the brunt of the search.

The guards of Worryfree Hall did not seem to plan to say anything. The guards behind the old eunuch immediately walked forward and covered the old eunuch's mouth with their hands, and everyone began to realize the difference in situation.

"Last night, an assassin entered the Imperial Palace and assassinated several guards. The Emperor was worried about the safety of the people within the Imperial Palace, so he called for everyone to go through them one by one. I hope that everyone will cooperate actively."

The old eunuch's action of directly being dragged down frightened many people. At this moment, when the guards asked another question, the beautiful ladies all retreated step by step, no one saying a word.

"Please do not be afraid, if everyone really has nothing to do with last night's matter, we will not do anything to you."

What happened last night had obviously set the Worryfree Hall on fire, but the effect was also very obvious. The Ling Yuan Guardian had paid special attention to this matter, and had sent people to search one hall after another.

What did he mean by 'won't do anything to you'? According to the rules of the Chu, they were all minor bodyguards, and now they were all beautiful women, their masters!

"Last night, when the assassins entered the palace, someone saw them coming out from the direction of your hall." The guard said in a mysterious manner, his eyes sweeping across all of the beautiful women, not sparing them even the slightest bit of expression.

Chu Yunge had seen this move too many times, she casually glanced at the lady's expression, then copied and pasted it onto her own face, performing it perfectly.

No one said anything, nor did anyone take up his words.

In fact, Chu Yunge knew in her heart that they were only using this method to lure a snake out of its cave. If any of them really saw them leaving the Daughter Hall, they would have immediately rushed over after seeing what happened. They did not wait until dawn to capture someone after she and Feng Yi had settled the matter properly.

The guards with swords in their hands went down to the ladies and observed them closely. The heavy armor on them made 'hualala hualala' sounds. The ladies felt uneasy, but they didn't dare to say anything.

When they saw Liang Limo, they had the same reaction as the others. They brought their faces closer to look, causing Liang Limo to be extremely annoyed by these people's arrogant words.

Liang Limo raised his hand and slapped her in front of her face, "You dog slave, you don't have the qualifications to speak to me like that, and even more so, you don't have the qualifications to approach me. Scram!" Liang Limo's palm strike was not light, and it made the guards in front of him spin.

After the guard had circled the pavilion twice, he supported the owner and stood up. He shook his head to sober up.

The leader of the guards ordered, "Men, arrest her and interrogate her strictly!" The two people beside Liang Limo immediately grabbed her arms and pressed her down, pressing on her back and causing her to bow down with her head facing the ground.

"Impudent!" Do you know who I am? "Let go of me!" Liang Limo shouted in a stern voice, his captured hand shaking nonstop, she wanted to pull back his hand, but as a weak girl, facing the big man who had practiced martial arts for many years, she could only be grabbed, unable to move at all.

Returning to the palace, Liang Limo did not have any more maids to sing with, so she could only shout out, "My father is the Prime Minister of the imperial court! My dad won't let you off after what you've done to me! "

The people of Worryfree Hall did not care who he was, as the Emperor was not even worth mentioning in their eyes. The Great Chu Palace was soon to be under their control, so what did it matter that the prime minister was not the prime minister?

"If you don't let me go, I'll tell my father to kill your entire clan! Let me go! " Liang Limo jumped in anger. Under her suppression, no matter how much she struggled, she could not get rid of his hands.

When the guard used his strength, he immediately dragged Liang Limo away as if she was a little chicken, and dragged her away with her hands.

"Let me go! I won't let you off! "I'm going to kill you …" Liang Limo's shout was still in everyone's ears, the pretty girls could not help but shrink back. Among them, Liang Limo had the most honorable status, but if someone with that status was taken away just like that, wouldn't they be in even greater danger?

"I know that you are in the same room. Is there anyone who wasn't in the room yesterday?" The leader of the guards said slowly as he scanned the ten pairs of eyes back and forth in front of him.

Chu Yunge tilted her head slightly, and looked at Xiao Wei's side profile. Xiao Wei's eyelashes were long and flickering, yet her face did not show any expression, and Chu Yunge was also unable to fathom what she was thinking about.

"You can choose not to say or not to report, but!" The guard's tone changed, and even the atmosphere turned serious. "You better be able to keep it a secret. If I discover someone who doesn't know about it, or hide it from each other, I won't be taking them away to investigate."

The guard continued, "Assassination in the palace was a capital offense, and it would be a grave crime to cover and protect the assassin. If the assassin was exposed, he would be executed and the Nine Clan would be the one to get punished, and as for you, if you didn't do anything, the Nine Clan will be executed as well!"

Slaughter the Nine Clans … This was the most brutal form of torture in Chu. Almost everyone who was related to the criminals would be beheaded. The elderly and the young were all the same. Many relatives who had never seen or had no relationship with each other were killed by them from the family tree.

It could even be described as inhumane.

Strictly speaking, ever since her royal father had ascended to the throne, he had never given anyone such a severe punishment.

Chu Yunge and Feng Yi both walked out of the pile of corpses, so they were not afraid of these threats, but Xiao Wei was different. She had lived a peaceful life as a young lady of the Shangguan family, which was quite a distance away from the capital.

She had lived for more than ten years in such a peaceful environment. Now that she was threatened like this, it was understandable for her to be willing to give her up.

The drumbeats in Chu Yunge's heart fell like rain, but Xiao Wei did not say anything. What was she thinking?

"Imagine, your parents sent you to the palace to be their concubine, so that your family could live a better life. What was he bringing back to them? An order to kill without mercy? Or was it a massacre? This is how you repay your parents for raising you. " The guard shook his head in confusion.

"Large... "Milord." Behind Chu Yunge, a whimper came out, and with a tremble, she raised her hand and pointed at the girl beside her, "Master, she, she went out last night." By the time she said those words, the woman was already on the verge of tears. She was simply too scared. What if the nine clans really were to be exterminated?

Chu Yunge exhaled, and turned to look, only to see two familiar faces. Weren't these the two sisters she met outside the palace gate?

"She went out last night in the middle of the night, wuu …" In addition, she was also scared and trembling as she cried. She could no longer stand, and even though the two of them had already become sworn sisters, they were not related by blood, so she could not have the life of her entire family to accompany him on his risks.

Those who were informed were shocked and frightened. Their face was instantly drained of all color as they kneeled on the ground, "No, no, I'm not. I just went to the toilet. How could I be an assassin?" The woman kneeled beside the guard and shook her head violently, shaking off the bun on her head.

"And you! I treat you as my sister, so why did you frame me! " The woman turned around and pointed at the person who was crying so hard amidst the beautiful ladies, "I'll take you as my little sister!" We've played since we were young. Do you know if I'm an assassin or not?! "

"No, Sis, I'm afraid of death. Don't worry, they are only investigating and won't do anything to you. Sis, believe me." The woman who was sitting on the ground was crying so hard that she could barely breathe as she spoke in an intermittent manner.

"Master, I don't even know martial arts, how could I possibly be an assassin? Last night, I really only went to the toilet once, and then I immediately returned to my own room!"

"Take her down." The cold voice didn't contain even the slightest bit of warmth as the guard behind him dragged the weeping woman along and left the Daughter's Hall.

The beautiful ladies left the people sitting on the ground. Someone who could frame his own sister, who could not?

The head guard walked in front of her and helped her up from the ground. He lightly patted his shoulder and hooked up a mysterious smile. "That's right, so you're safe now. Even if she's an assassin, it has nothing to do with you."

The woman cried even more. Actually, she didn't want to say it, but she also knew that her sister couldn't possibly be an assassin. She didn't dare to say it.

"Someone has already set an example for you. Is there anyone else who wants to report it?"

Silence reigned among the crowd. At this moment, all of the beautiful ladies had shrunk into a group, each of them sticking close to the other.

The guard commander whooped and pulled the sword out of his hand, a piercing cold light reflecting off of it. "I'll ask one last time!" This is your last chance. After this, you will be sentenced to death penalty just like the assassins! Is there anything else to report!? "
