"At three quarters past midnight tonight, General Uesugi Tora, in alliance with seven factions of the Imperial Party, will launch an attack on Shen Zhong!"
"The first order is to attack the Embroidered Uniform Guard headquarters and assassinate Shen Zhong's trusted confidants!"
"Second route: Attack the Jinyiwei's stronghold in Nanshi and seize Sean's remains!"
"The third force will attack Shen Zhong's residence, capture and kill Shen Zhong, and execute him on the spot!"
Detailed personnel assignments were written for all three groups, with Uesugi Tiger and Panlong Mountain's forces all in the second group.
Tan Wu's hands trembled uncontrollably. "General, does anyone know that we have already reached an agreement with Panlong Mountain?"
Uesugi Tora also looked fearful. "The fact that they were able to throw a crumpled piece of paper in right under my nose means they overheard our conversation."
"This person is either a top-tier ninth-rank expert or possesses unparalleled lightness skill!"
"I'm wondering if this note was also thrown into the residences of the seven imperial factions!"
Tan Wu's expression gradually calmed down. "General, if it were the seven factions of the Emperor's Party, there would be no way they would surrender to Shen Zhong."
"Shen Zhong has oppressed them for a long time. If we tell Shen Zhong this news, they will not escape a bloodbath!"
"Ever since the Marquis of Liyang was imprisoned by Shen Zhong, the imperial faction has been living in constant fear, not daring to overstep the bounds in the slightest."
Uesugi Tora swallowed nervously, his eyes filled with ferocity.
"I also believe that these seven families must fight to the death tonight, or they will surely face retaliation tomorrow!"
Tan Wu nodded in agreement. "That's right. If things succeed, those who don't contribute will be considered traitors!"
"If we fail, those who didn't contribute will be considered accomplices and will inevitably face severe retribution!"
Uesugi Torata clenched his fists and couldn't help but ask, "Who exactly is behind this?"
Tan Wu pointed towards the palace, "The only one capable of dealing with the Empress Dowager's faction's key figures is the young emperor."
"The problem now is that, no matter who is instigating it, we have no way out."
Uesugi Torata suddenly asked, "Could it be that the Empress Dowager and Shen Zhong are fishing?"
Tan Wu analyzed, "I have already inquired and found out that the night before the incident at the Marquis of Liyang's residence, all the secret agents of the Embroidered Uniform Guard near the eight families of the Emperor's faction were eliminated."
"That's why Shen Zhong was so angry. His severe punishment of the Marquis of Liyang's family was not only to intimidate the imperial faction, but also to intimidate His Majesty."
"If the Imperial Guards around the General's Mansion are all eliminated tonight, then this matter is very likely to be true."
"No matter how vicious the Embroidered Uniform Guard is, they wouldn't dare to murder a large number of their own people!"
Uesugi Tora remained silent for a long time before saying, "Make sure our people and the people of Panlong Mountain are all ready."
"Back then on the battlefield, we were never certain of a complete victory in any battle. When it was time to take a gamble, we had to take it!"
At 1:15 AM.
Several corpses were suddenly thrown into the front yard of the General's Mansion.
The men in black left only one sentence: "By order of His Majesty, execute the traitor Shen Zhong!"
Tan Wu examined the waistband of the corpse and found it to be a Jinyiwei (Imperial Guard) badge.
It was an honor for the officials to be monitored by the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Although they were secret agents, they all carried waist badges with them.
Uesugi Torata, spear in hand, growled, "Let's fight!"
The corpses of Jinyiwei (Imperial Guard) agents were found simultaneously in the residences of the eight families of the Emperor's faction.
Last time, when the members of Luo Wang killed the mole, they didn't throw the body in, but this time it's different.
"By order of His Majesty, execute the traitor Shen Zhong!"
With the example of the Marquis of Liyang as a precedent, every family knows that not charging forward means certain death!
In each household, there are one or two informants and spies within the network.
"Let's do it! If we don't, we'll die!"
"If we're going to do it, we should go all out and bring all the experts and guards!"
"We must kill Shen Zhong tonight! If Shen Zhong doesn't die, we have no way to survive!"
"Kill Shen Zhong's entire family! Eradicate them completely!"
"Proceed according to the plan on the note, without fail!"
P.S.: Shen Xiaomei isn't very bright and won't accept it. If no one says anything, just let her hang up.
Chapter 116 Killing the Embroidered Uniform Guards! Burning the Garrison Command! Shen Zhong Dies Tragically! (13)
The seven factions of the Emperor's faction each had spies from the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
However, Wang Qinian had thrown all the notes to the person in charge of the household, so the head of the household naturally dared not make a fuss.
So by the time the attack was launched, it was too late for the Embroidered Uniform Guard's spies to tip them off.
From the moment Wang Qinian delivered the note at dusk, experts from the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) were stationed near every house, ensuring that no one could leave once they entered.
At 3:45 AM, as the corpse of the Embroidered Uniform Guard spy was thrown into the courtyard, everyone's fear was ignited.
The Embroidered Uniform Guard's spy died in his own home. It's like mud getting into your pants—even if it's not shit, it's still shit!
The heads of the households shuddered at the thought of the powerful minister Shen Zhong's methods!
fear!
When fear reaches its limit, one will seize the last chance to resist!
Throughout history, why have most of the overly arrogant and domineering powerful officials met with bad ends?
Wherever there are people, there is a social hierarchy. If you offend too many people, no matter how high your position or how powerful you are, you may still be pushed down by everyone when you fall from grace.
Li Chang'an's trap merely provided these people with an opportunity to vent all their years of fear and resentment!
The seven factions of the Imperial Party went all out, and the martial arts masters kept in the mansion rushed out from the main gate.
Even guards and servants of the third or fourth rank were mixed in among them.
These people arrived at the agreed location on time, just as stated on the note.
A large number of men in black gathered at the entrance of the Embroidered Uniform Guard's office; these were newly transferred experts from the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven).
There were also Li Chang'an's Shadow Guards, who directly killed the Embroidered Uniform Guards who were watching the area near the post station, and then changed into night clothes and went to the Embroidered Uniform Guard's office.
The Embroidered Uniform Guard headquarters, also known as the Zhenfu Division headquarters!
Li Chang'an not only wanted to eliminate Shen Zhong, but also wanted to destroy the Jinyiwei's stronghold!
Although most of the Jinyiwei members were not in the yamen at midnight, the case files and intelligence inside were still there.
The Embroidered Uniform Guard also had a powerful force like the Black Riders of the Surveillance Bureau, but neither of them were stationed in the government offices in the capital.
The seven experts from the Imperial Party who arrived here immediately felt more confident.
"It seems His Majesty had already made arrangements!"
"These people must all be top experts from the inner court!"
There must have been at least seventy or eighty people!
As they were speaking, seventy or eighty men in black leaped over the wall of the Zhenfusi Yamen (a government office in charge of pacification).
"Who goes there! This is the Zhenfu Division's yamen!"
"Attacking the Embroidered Uniform Guard is tantamount to rebellion!"
"what!"
Several screams came from inside, and then the main door opened.
"Kill them! Slaughter all the Imperial Guards!"
"For His Majesty, we will rebel against the Great Rebellion!"
"The General is in charge tonight, so everyone just needs to kill!"
"Killing Shen Zhong, who oppressed His Majesty, is a merit, not a crime!"
"Exterminate the Embroidered Uniform Guard! Avenge every wrong, settle every grudge!"
Half of the experts from the Shadow Guard and the Northern Qi Net were eighth-rank masters, and the Zhenfu Division's yamen was quickly captured!
A brutal battle began within the Zhenfu Division's yamen!
The Emperor's faction and Li Chang'an's men in black, upon seeing anyone dressed as a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, would indiscriminately kill them!
The Embroidered Uniform Guard had a total of 5,000 men in the capital, but only about 1,000 worked at the government headquarters.
It's late at night now, and there are only about three hundred people in the government office.
Although many of the night watchmen were eighth-rank experts, this small number of people was no match for the Shadow Guards.
Many eighth-rank Imperial Guards had barely drawn their swords when they were instantly torn to pieces by four or five men in black!
The Imperial Party warriors following behind the man in black were even more bloodthirsty, killing anyone they saw!
As the killing continued, some Imperial Guards still managed to fire signal arrows.
These whistling arrows are the same as those in the capital of Nanqing; the city gate guards, the imperial guards, and the palace guards of the capital can all see them!
