Chapter 198: Killing
The truth is that the one who instructed Qin Shaoyou to kill was the one who Zhang Yizhi thought he would make the decision even if the sky fell... Your Majesty!
Zhang Yizhi was heartbroken...
But he still couldn't help but go to see Wu Zetian pitifully.
Wu Zetian smiled and his eyes were dull.
She felt as if she hadn't realized what was happening in front of her.
The bone-bone chill had already filled Zhang Yizhi's whole body. He saw Zhang Changzong lying in a pool of blood, Qin Shaoyou who was approaching step by step, the silence of all officials, and those cold eyes.
Everything... I understand.
I and Goro know too much.
Since Your Majesty plans to liquidate his two brothers, how could he really let Lai Junchen investigate?
Lai Junchen is his Majesty's confidant, but who can guarantee that during the torture, his brothers will reveal something, and every word he said is the secret of the palace and will never be allowed to be spread out.
Therefore, Shangguan Wan'er arrived in the hall, so he and Qin Shaoyou passed by. Therefore, a dagger was handed over to Qin Shaoyou, so Qin Shaoyou understood. Therefore... Zhang Changzong was dead, that's all.
The love and affection that used to be true now seems to be a great irony.
Zhang Yizhi initially thought that His Majesty loved him so much and pity his brothers so much that even if he did something huge, he didn't have to worry. But now he understood that this was just a mirror and a moon. His Majesty was heartless and a heartless person. How could there be affection? How could a ruthless person really care about his brothers?
He was scared, his teeth trembled and chewed, and he clattered. He turned around and wanted to get up without possession, but finally fell down hard and lay on the ground. So he kicked his legs desperately. He wanted to support his hands and climb forward. He climbed a few steps, but he was extremely moved.
A pair of boots stomped on his head.
Qin Shaoyou's feet were exerting force, and his legs were nailing Zhang Yizhi to the ground like a nail. Zhang Yizhi struggled, but his mind was unable to move, like a ridiculous grasshopper pinched by someone.
Qin Shaoyou's eyes were expressionless. He sighed softly. The dagger in his hand was still bleeding.
In fact, at this time, Qin Shaoyou himself knew that what he was doing now was not revenge, but even he himself was just a sharp blade, a sword of the emperor. In order to ensure that there are no hidden dangers, he had to kill the handsome man in front of him.
Zhang Yizhi cried. He cried loudly, shouting: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty save me..."
He was completely crazy.
Qin Shaoyou kicked him over with a fierce kick, he rolled up and faced Qin Shaoyou. The next moment, the blood-stained dagger paused in the air and stabbed hard. This was a perfect arc, at the end of the arc. After a muffled sound of gold and iron into the bones, blood spurted out. The blood light dyed Qin Shaoyou's clothes red, and blood filled everywhere. The blood owner was trembling violently, swinging wildly all over his body. Finally, blood foam was spurting out from his mouth, his eyes were still staring in one direction, staring at Wu Zetian's direction, that direction... Wu Zetian was sitting in a dangerous position, still in a high position, looking at everything in the hall.
"Your Majesty..." Zhang Yizhi murmured with the last sentence... his body began to soften...
Wu Zetian smiled with a smile on his lips and put his fingers casually on the imperial desk. She just slightly changed to a kneeling posture, that's all.
Qin Shaoyou had already stood up and wiped the blood from the dagger. He walked into the hall step by step and said seriously: "The Zhang brothers plotted to rebel, which is a serious crime of rebellion. I was angry for a moment and accidentally killed these two thieves. I was misbehaving and extremely reckless. It was a crime of insulting the ministers. It was a crime of death. I beg Your Majesty... forgive me!"
There was already a silence in the hall.
Although all civil and military officials had the intention to kill, the killing of people like Qin Shaoyou was still far beyond their expectations.
There is only one reason for Qin Shaoyou to kill here... That is because he was secretly instructed by the saint. How many emperors have these Zhang brothers received the care of the emperor before, and how many people think that His Majesty and the Zhang brothers have a deep relationship, but now...
Many people are scared...
What I fear is not just the Zhang brothers before their death.
The Li clan was so scared that his face looked like a rusty look. For example, Li Longji, the King of Linzi, was also somewhat loved by Wu Zetian, but now... he suddenly felt that these so-called loves were as ridiculous as His Majesty's love for the Zhang brothers. Once his grandson was jealous of His Majesty, he was afraid that his fate would not be much better than the Zhang brothers.
The people of the Wu family were also scared. They thought that Wu Zetian was their close relative, with the same ancestor, and shed the same blood, but... so what? The emperor's close relative was just the scene of the Zhang brothers. They were frightened and began to feel uneasy. They all bowed their heads, and no one dared to see Wu Zetian.
Wu Zetian pursed her lips, she smiled and said, "Qin Qing just said, "Everyone can kill the traitors... Everyone can kill them, and what's wrong with killing the rioters? Qin Shaoyou... I pardon you for no sin..."
It's very light, as light as a feather.
Qin Shaoyou said: "I thank Your Majesty for your grace."
As soon as you ask and answer, the matter is over.
The Zhang brothers are finished, and Qin Shaoyou survived this life-and-death competition. This is the end of Qin Shaoyou, but for this court, I am afraid that another bloody start...
call……
Qin Shaoyou's heart was settled.
At this time, Wu Zetian slowly said: "I am a little uneasy. Let's stop here today. Qin Shaoyou, stay and the rest of you will take your leave."
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
In the hall, there was no one except Qin Shaoyou and Wu Zetian.
Even Shangguan Wan'er disappeared, but she didn't know where she went.
The body of the Zhang brothers has been cleaned up.
Wu Zetian was still kneeling high behind the imperial desk, pondering without saying a word.
She didn't speak, and Qin Shaoyou had to remain silent.
At this time, I am afraid that no one can guess what Wu Zetian is thinking now.
Even Qin Shaoyou couldn't guess it thoroughly, but Qin Shaoyou was still very relaxed overall. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he was waiting for something.
After a long time... Shangguan Wan'er stepped into the hall. Wu Zetian heard the movement and raised his eyes slightly.
Shangguan Wan'er saluted and said, "Your Majesty... everything is ready."
"Oh." Wu Zetian's answer was very casual and said indifferently: "Don't leave one person."
Shangguan Wan'er nodded and said, "It was written by General Jinwu. After mobilizing the Jinwu Guard, they must... they can't escape with their wings."
Wu Zetian fell into silence again.
However, these few words of conversation allowed Qin Shaoyou to get a lot of information, and many people would die next. Since Wu Zetian was determined to take action, the killing could no longer stop.
Qin Shaoyou didn't even know that he should be happy or sad. Sometimes he even felt that because of himself, he had expanded the killing. He was obviously dealing with the Zhang brothers, but this killing was beyond Qin Shaoyou's control.
So at this time, he told himself that this is the Great Zhou Dynasty, this is the era of imperial power, and that he is no longer a passerby here, all this... was something that some people asked for...
Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but look at Shangguan Wan'er, thinking to himself, why is she so calm? Why is she always so numb at this time? Did she treat herself as a tool? Or is this the means of her survival? Is her heart like Wu Zetian, made of Jin Tie, unintentional and ruthless, and decisive in killing... If... if... if... the Zhang brothers were herself... she would...
Qin Shaoyou suddenly seemed to open a door. When he came to this era, when he was still a cook, he still had the thinking of modern people. When he became an official and became a superior person, modern people's thinking gradually faded, and replaced by the mark of Wu Zhou. But now, another door was completely opened, and he suddenly realized that there was such a world here, where everyone was born for desire, and everyone was killed for power and position. Even if he was close relatives, he would not be jealous of death.
Scary... It's really scary...
"Qin Shaoyou..."
The faint voice was a bit lazy, completely interrupting Qin Shaoyou's thoughts.
Qin Shaoyou suddenly came back to his senses, and he hurriedly raised his eyes and said, "I am here."
Wu Zetian was so happy that she said, "The Zhang brothers are quite familiar with the art of metal and stone, but now these two people have been killed... The only regret I regret is that they will never be able to use their medicine again."
There seems to be anger in this sentence.
However, Qin Shaoyou had already prepared the answer and said, "Your Majesty, the medicine of the Zhang brothers is not strange in my opinion. I think it is three parts poisonous, so how can there be magic? Most of the two brothers rely on His Majesty's trust to make a secret, and add ordinary methods of beauty and appearance to the medicine to please His Majesty. If you want to take care of your body, why not recruit a few miracle doctors and ask them to find a prescription for your Majesty to recuperate. This effect is probably not under the Zhang brothers."
"Yeah?"
Qin Shaoyou's answer is very concise and basically has no convincing power.
But... Wu Zetian believed it...
