Chapter 2399: Things are not simple

In the courtyard where Zhao Lun was imprisoned before, Guan Zhuo stood there with a gloomy face. In front of him, there were some corpses lying in all directions. These guards who had died were the ones he arranged to guard Zhao Lun here.

Now, these people are dead, and the imprisoned Zhao Lun has disappeared.

There are only two possibilities for this situation:

One: Someone wants to assassinate or kidnap Zhao Lun.

Two: Someone wants to rescue Zhao Lun.

Guan Zhuo tends to the latter possibility.

Because he went to see the room where Zhao Lun was imprisoned, there was no sign of fighting, let alone any blood. Obviously, Zhao Lun was willing to follow the person who came to leave.

In this case, the latter possibility is obviously greater.

This speculation also made Guan Zhuo extremely annoyed. He did not expect that Zhao Lun would dare to "escape from prison".

You know, the case has not been tried yet, and so many people are paying attention to it. If Zhao Lun escapes, it will be confirmed, which is not a good thing for Zhao Lun. Therefore, Guan Zhuo had never thought that Zhao Lun would escape from the scene. In his opinion, even if Zhao Lun wanted to escape, he would do it after the case was tried.

But now everything in front of him proved that his judgment was wrong. Zhao Lun escaped, and the fact that he escaped was extremely cruel. Zhao Lun did not let go of any of the people he arranged here.

"Sir, there is no one alive at the scene." The person brought by Guan Zhuo came over and said.

Guan Zhuo wanted to see if there were any people who had not died at the scene, and he could also get some information, but now it seems that it is not possible.

"Pick up their bodies."

Guan Zhuo turned and left after saying that.

Zhao Lun had already escaped, and there were no clues left here, so there was no point in staying.

Before Guan Zhuo returned to the mansion, he ran into his family who came to find him.

"What's wrong?" Guan Zhuo asked curiously.

"Master, someone has come to the palace and asked you to go to the palace."

"Who asked you to go to the palace?" Guan Zhuo asked.

"It was Minister Hou."

"Him?" Guan Zhuo frowned slightly: "Why did you ask me to go to the palace in the middle of the night? Is there something urgent?"

If we talk about the recent major events in the imperial capital, one is the case of the third prince, one is the candidate for the throne, and the other is Li Yang's expedition to the southern neighboring city. Could it be that Hou Yi's asking him to go to the palace is related to one of these things?

"Master, I just found out that almost all officials above the third rank in the imperial capital have received orders to go to the palace." The person continued.

"Is there such a thing?" Guan Zhuo was even more surprised: "Why did Hou Yi ask so many people to go to the palace? Is there really something big happening?"

Guan Zhuo felt that this matter might not be that simple. Hou Yi asked so many people to go to the palace, so something big must have happened.

Guan Zhuo continued to return to the mansion. Whether he went to the palace or not, he had to go back first. Even if he had to go, he had to go back and change clothes first.

However, when Guan Zhuo returned to the mansion, he learned that someone had come to the palace again, and asked him to enter the palace. Moreover, this time, the other party did not leave, but stayed here waiting for Guan Zhuo to come back.

"Did Minister Hou say anything?" Guan Zhuo asked.

"No." The eunuch said, "Just ask Minister Guan to enter the palace quickly. He and other ministers are waiting."

"I..."

Guan Zhuo was about to agree, but suddenly stopped.

He remembered that Hou Yi and Zhao Lun were now in the same camp!

Before, in order to rescue Zhao Lun, Hou Yi specially captured the family of Zhao Guanjia to threaten Zhao Guanjia to change his confession. Fortunately, with the help of Wu Fan, he disintegrated Hou Yi's conspiracy.

And now, not long after Zhao Lun was rescued, Hou Yi hurriedly asked him and some other important officials to enter the palace. Is there any connection between these two things?

Hou Yi asked so many people to enter the palace. Is he trying to push the third prince to the throne?

Thinking of this, Guan Zhuo felt that it was very likely!

Even Zhao Lun's escape is likely related to Hou Yi!

After all, Hou Yi was willing to kidnap Zhao Lun in order to rescue the third prince. Now that he saw that it was hopeless to make Zhao Guanjia change his confession, it was very likely that he would kidnap Zhao Lun.

Thinking of this, Guan Zhuo felt that he could not enter the palace for the time being. He had to see the situation first.

"You go back first and tell Hou Shangshu that I am not feeling well and will not enter the palace tonight. If there is anything, we will talk about it later." Guan Zhuo refused.

Guan Zhuo did not want to enter the palace rashly before he figured out what was going on.

However, after hearing Guan Zhuo's words, the eunuch did not leave immediately, but stood there with an embarrassed look on his face.

"What's wrong?" Guan Zhuo frowned and asked.

"Hou Shangshu said that Guan Shangshu must be invited to the palace no matter what." The eunuch said.

"Hmph!" Guan Zhuo said coldly: "He is the Minister of Industry, I am the Minister of Justice, it is not his turn to order me."

Guan Zhuo did not have a good impression of Hou Yi, and even hated him. Now, hearing Hou Yi say this, he was very unhappy. At the same time, he felt more and more that Hou Yi's request for him to enter the palace was not simple.

If it was just an ordinary matter, it would be the same whether he went or not. In fact, Hou Yi probably wished that he would not go. After all, he and he did not get along. If he went, he would inevitably stand on the opposite side of him, which was not a good thing for Hou Yi. BiquPai.CoM

And now, Hou Yi was so eager to let him enter the palace, which obviously did not have a good thing.

This also made Guan Zhuo more determined not to enter the palace.

The eunuch wanted to say something, but Guan Zhuo waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't say anything. I won't enter the palace. How you respond to Hou Yi is your business. Come on, send him away!"

Guan Zhuo didn't even bother to make excuses. He didn't care what the eunuch said. He had decided not to enter the palace tonight.

After sending the eunuch away, Guan Zhuo called someone.

"Go and find out what happened in the palace."

"Yes, sir."

Guan Zhuo always felt that this night was not so simple. First, Zhao Lun was kidnapped, and then Hou Yi asked everyone to enter the palace. These two things happened almost at the same time, which inevitably made Guan Zhuo feel suspicious.

At this time, Guan Zhuo and Hou Yi and others didn't know that the big event that happened tonight was not only that, but also another big event happened near the southern neighboring city not far from the imperial capital.

Li Yang's troops were attacked nearby. As the commander of the army, Li Yang was shot to death by arrows when he broke through the fire. Until his death, he didn't know who shot him because there were people everywhere around him.

Before he died, Li Yang was afraid and regretful.

He was afraid of death, and he regretted making the decision to lead the troops himself.

But all this was too late.
