Chapter 1449 I Have Two Suspects
When Lu Yifa saw Zhao Chen again, there was no other look in his eyes except vicious hatred.
Seeing that there were no signs of injury on Zhao Chen's left arm, Lu Yifa thought he had made a mistake.
"Lu Yifa, we meet again." Zhao Chen said to Lu Yifa with a smile.
Lu Yifa said nothing.
He didn't kill Zhao Chen to avenge his son, that was his incompetence.
Now that Zhao Chen had captured him here, Lu Yifa had no choice whether to kill or cut him into pieces.
Ma Zhiyuan looked at Zhao Chen. He had already guessed that the emperor was not dead.
The corpse was just there to confuse them.
At that time, Ma Zhiyuan had no choice. No matter whether the emperor died in the fire or not, he would send the news to Chang'an like this.
Only the Chang'an man takes action. If they can seize control of Chang'an before the emperor returns to Chang'an, they will have a glimmer of hope.
If the emperor returns to Chang'an safely, then there is absolutely no possibility for them to survive.
So even though Lu Yifa was very likely to let the emperor escape at that time, Ma Zhiyuan didn't say anything more.
Because for Ma Zhiyuan, all his hopes now rest on the man from Chang'an.
But Ma Zhiyuan didn't expect that he would be caught by Zhao Chen in such a short period of time.
Captain Zhang, who had accepted his benefits, had been working against him, and even led people to surround Zhe Chong Mansion.
Now Ma Zhiyuan had nothing to say, he just looked at Zhao Chen indifferently.
"Captain Ma, this is the first time we have met." Zhao Chen looked at Ma Zhiyuan and said with a smile.
It was indeed the first time that Zhao Chen and Ma Zhiyuan met. They had never met before.
"I have long heard that the King of Han is the most powerful person around the emperor and has great abilities. When I saw him today, it turned out to be true."
"But don't be too happy, King Han. It's not yet certain who will win and who will lose." Ma Zhiyuan spoke slowly.
As long as the emperor did not return to Chang'an, they would still have a chance.
Even if Zhao Chen killed these people, Zhao Chen himself would not be able to escape death.
Zhao Chen nodded and said with a smile: "I think so too, so I decided to take you to Chang'an together."
"Let's see if the people who kill me come or the decree to kill you comes."
Ma Zhiyuan's eyes were a little gloomy, and Zhao Chen's indifference made him feel that something was wrong.
If a normal person heard this, he would undoubtedly be worried.
But Zhao Chen didn't, and he could even bet against himself.
Ma Zhiyuan was worried that the people in Chang'an would not be able to handle everything as planned before the emperor returned.
In this way, they would really die without a burial place.
"Your Highness the King of Han, your subordinates are innocent. They forced them to do this."
"My subordinates are gentle and don't dare to offend them. That's why I committed such a serious crime. Please forgive me, His Highness, the King of Han." Huang Duwei suddenly knelt down and begged, leaving Ma Zhiyuan and others stunned.
"Captain Huang, haven't you always wanted to be the Duke of the country?"
"What, you regret it again now?"
"The matter hasn't reached the final step yet, maybe we will win in the end." Ma Zhiyuan said calmly.
Captain Huang was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
The words he had just begged Zhao Chen for, now made him confused as to what to do.
"It seems that Captain Huang regrets it again."
"Captain Ma, how dare you keep such a duplicitous guy by your side?" Zhao Chen looked at Ma Zhiyuan jokingly.
Ma Zhiyuan did not answer, but his expression was extremely ugly at the moment.
Huang Duwei didn't know what to do at this moment.
Well, he was afraid that Zhao Chen would kill him now.
That's why he took the initiative to cut off the relationship and wanted to beg Zhao Chen for mercy.
He was also worried that the man from Chang'an would succeed in the end and Ma Zhiyuan would leap over the dragon's gate. If he acted like this, he would definitely offend Ma Zhiyuan.
Now Huang Duwei feels that he is not a human being inside and out.
"Zhao Chen, don't be complacent. If you can, kill me now, otherwise I will kill you one day to avenge Neng'er." Lu Yifa glared at Zhao Chen from the side.
He never stopped thinking about killing Zhao Chen.
As long as he finds an opportunity, Lu Yifa will definitely kill Zhao Chen by surprise.
Zhao Chen smiled: "Although I don't believe you have this strength, I just like to respect other people's ideas."
"Since you, Lu Changshi, want to die, then naturally I can't refuse you."
"It just so happens that Captain Zhang from Quzhou can take your place as chief historian." .??.
"Cheng Er, take them out and kill this guy Lu Yifa."
After Zhao Chen finished speaking, he waved his hand for Cheng Chumo to take him out.
Upon hearing that Zhao Chen was really going to kill him, Lu Yifa's whole body suddenly became weak, and his legs were also limp.
"What, the old guy is scared now?"
"Weren't you quite fierce just now?"
"Aren't you going to seek revenge from Zhao Da no matter what?" Cheng Chumo said with a contemptuous smile while carrying Lu Yifa with one hand.
Lu Yifa didn't say anything, but looked at Zhao Chen fiercely: "Even if I become an evil ghost, I won't let you go."
"Then I'll wait until you turn into a devil and kill you again." Zhao Chen smiled.
Lu Yifa was taken out, and the others were also pushed out.
On the flat ground outside the city, Lu Yifa was pressed on the stone pier, while other Qizhou officials looked on.
Lu Yifa was still struggling and roaring, but it was still of no use.
<
br> Lu Yifa’s roar stopped abruptly when the executioner slashed his knife.
The headless corpse twitched twice and then stopped moving.
Ma Zhiyuan and others watched with a flash of surprise in their eyes.
They once again experienced Zhao Chen's ruthlessness, a dignified and long-standing man who would kill at will.
No room left at all.
Ma Zhiyuan felt a little uneasy. Only now did he really worry about the situation in Chang'an.
If he hadn't really been completely sure, Zhao Chen would still be so calm and composed.
…
Cheng Yaojin didn't expect that the emperor would come back so quickly.
At the end of September, the emperor had already appeared in his courtyard, Cheng Yaojin.
"Your Majesty, Cheng Yaojin, pays homage to your Majesty." Cheng Yaojin saluted the emperor.
The emperor waved and then asked about the current situation in Chang'an.
"Your Majesty, the court is currently under the temporary management of Hejian King Li Xiaogong. Prime Minister Wei, Prime Minister Fang, and Chu Jijiu are all locked up in a secret room by that person."
"The place where Jiang Siye met people was also found out. It was in a courtyard in Qunfang Garden."
"Also, the Beiya Imperial Army in my hands has now been handed over to Duke Wei." Cheng Yaojin briefly talked about the recent situation in Chang'an.
Cheng Yaojin was relieved that the emperor was fine and returned to Chang'an so quickly.
"Do you have any ideas about the people behind this matter?" The emperor asked Cheng Yaojin about the people behind Chang'an.
Cheng Yaojin has been in Chang'an and can always observe some different places.
Cheng Yaojin thought for a moment, and then slowly said: "I have two suspects, and the most suspicious of them is Sun Wuji, the eldest son of the State of Qi."
"He has excused Jiang Siye before. After Prime Minister Wei and Prime Minister Fang disappeared, he even wanted to temporarily take charge of the court."
"I think he has a great chance."
