Chapter 2044: Bear with it for now

"Kill them, don't let any of them go!" Zhao Lun, who was still in shock, ordered his generals.

At this time, Zhao Lun's fear was still there. Just now, if his guards had appeared a little later, he might have died tragically on the spot. Fortunately, Zhao Lun cherished his life very much on weekdays, especially after the death of the eighth prince, he paid more attention to his own safety. Therefore, he arranged a lot of guards in his mansion. Wherever he went, he would bring a group of guards with him. Even when he was drinking tea just now, there were several guards around him.

It was his caution that saved his life at the critical moment.

The guards in Zhao Lun's mansion were still coming in a steady stream. The assassin who assassinated Zhao Lun had been surrounded. Not to mention assassinating Zhao Lun, even if he wanted to escape, it was unlikely.

Zhao Lun, who had slowly calmed down, did not insist on asking the guards to kill the assassins, but ordered: "Catch them alive! I want to see who wants to kill me!"

Zhao Lun, who was extremely angry just now, only wanted to kill the assassins who dared to assassinate him, but after calming down, he wanted to find out the mastermind behind this matter. These assassins were obviously just knives in the hands of others. It was easy to cut off these knives, but if the owner behind these knives could not be found, then there might be more knives to kill him at any time.

There is only a thousand days to catch thieves, but there is no thousand days to guard against thieves. Zhao Lun did not want to live in danger all the time, so he had to find the mastermind behind these assassins, so as to ensure his own safety.

With Zhao Lun's order, the guards in his house no longer killed these assassins, but changed to aim at injuring them.

But Zhao Lun obviously underestimated the determination of these assassins. Although they were surrounded by Tuanyuan, these assassins did not think of surrendering, and no one even escaped. They were fighting desperately and trying to get closer to Zhao Lun step by step.

After understanding the psychology of these assassins, Zhao Lun's face was very ugly.

I'm afraid it will not be easy to catch them alive.

Sure enough, the matter did not go beyond Zhao Lun's expectations. Those assassins were in a desperate attitude. After being injured and unable to fight, they did not let Zhao Lun's guards capture them, but chose to commit suicide.

This made Zhao Lun's face even uglier.

Although Zhao Lun's guards had shown mercy under his orders, in the end, they did not catch a single person alive. All the assassins who broke into Zhao Lun's mansion committed suicide.

What's more infuriating is that these assassins were all good at fighting. Although they all died in the end, they caused great casualties to Zhao Lun's guards. The entire pavilion was full of corpses, and the pungent smell of blood stimulated everyone's sense of smell.

"Clean up these corpses." Zhao Lun ordered.

"Yes." The remaining guards responded quickly.

Zhao Lun took another look at the corpses on the ground, and then walked quickly towards the study.

Although he was not able to catch anyone alive, Zhao Lun could probably guess who was behind this.

Either the eldest prince or the second prince!

Or someone around them!

Because now only these people have the biggest conflict of interest with him and want him dead the most!

These people have sufficient reasons and motives to kill him.

It's a pity that he was not able to catch anyone alive and there was no way to determine who it was.

However, no matter who it was, after experiencing this incident, Zhao Lun was full of vigilance and strong hatred towards the eldest prince, the second prince and the people around them.

"Wait until I ascend the throne tomorrow, I will settle accounts with you one by one!" Zhao Lun said viciously.

This matter today must not be let go. With Zhao Lun's temper, he would have taken revenge immediately after guessing who it was, but now, he has more important things to do, that is, ascending the throne and becoming emperor. Compared with this matter, other things are not worth mentioning. He doesn't want to cause trouble before that. Everything will be discussed after he ascends the throne.

Therefore, Zhao Lun temporarily suppressed the urge to take revenge and kept this matter in mind.

Zhao Lun was naturally very angry about the assassination, but after calming down, he was not too surprised.

He knew that he would not let his elder and second brothers go after he ascended the throne, and the two of them naturally knew this as well, so they would never want to see him ascend the throne smoothly, and would use various means to prevent him from ascending the throne. Hou Chong arrested Liu Taiyi for this purpose, and now, these assassins came to assassinate him for the same purpose.

Obviously, his eagerness to ascend the throne has stimulated those people, making them choose such extreme means, which also proves from the side that his decision to ascend the throne in a hurry is correct. Although the people of the eldest prince and the second prince are looking for evidence that he forged the imperial edict, this cannot be done in a short time. His decision to ascend the throne in a hurry disrupted their plans.

And the fact that they would choose such extreme means also shows that they have not found evidence that they forged the imperial edict. Thinking of this, Zhao Lun felt a lot more relieved.

However, judging from the fact that they sent people to assassinate him, those people were already crazy and could do anything. Even if they didn't find any evidence, they would probably send people to assassinate him again.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lun quickly mobilized more guards to guard outside his room. At the same time, he also asked people to call the generals who were close to him. He needed to make some arrangements to prevent those people from causing trouble at the coronation ceremony tomorrow.

As a result, Zhao Lun, who had just been free, became busy again. This time, no matter how busy he was, Zhao Lun did not dare to slack off. After all, this was about the throne and his life.

The news of the assassination of the third prince Zhao Lun soon reached the ears of many people with concerns, and everyone had different reactions to this matter.

Because of the will, Zhao Lun is now the most concerned person among officials and wealthy businessmen in Yanyang City. It can be said that many people are watching every move of Zhao Lun's mansion. Their purposes are different, but the same thing is that they are very concerned about what happened in Zhao Lun's mansion. Therefore, everyone will know about this matter at the first time.

"Have those assassins been caught?" In the eldest prince's bedroom, Zhao Xuan asked his guard with a slightly nervous look.

Others didn't know, but Zhao Xuan knew it very well. Those assassins were sent by him, and their purpose was naturally to assassinate Zhao Lun. Now that he heard that the assassins had failed, he was annoyed, but what he was most concerned about was whether there were any alive captured by Zhao Lun. If Zhao Lun captured prisoners and those prisoners gave him away, it would give Zhao Lun an excuse to attack him, and he would be in a passive position.
