When Zhong Zhiheng heard the news, he didn't bring it up in one breath, and passed out immediately. The hospital was so busy that he was in a coma for an hour, and Zhong Zhiheng finally woke up. Ma Zhiming, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, was pulled out and killed. The Imperial Forest Army was in charge of guarding the palace. The dignified prince was brutally murdered in his bedroom, and the death was so horrific. Naturally, the Imperial Forest Army could not escape responsibility. When Ma Zhiming was dragged down, his face was extremely pale , Zhou Youan, the deputy commander of the Yulin Army who was kneeling with him, only looked uglier than him, and his whole body was shaking like chaff.
…
Anjun Palace.
"What? The fourth prince was assassinated?" The teacup in Zhong Mingwei's hand fell to the ground with a "clack", and the tea was splashed on the porcelain. Kong Wenmin with a serious face said, "When was the fourth prince assassinated? How did he die?"
"My lord, the fourth prince was assassinated in the middle of the night. The assassin should have ambushed in the fourth prince's bedroom early in the morning. He didn't do anything until the fourth prince was asleep and the night guards were on duty," he said. At that time, Kong Wenmin's face was not very good, "The assassin is also a master, he didn't have any sharp weapons like swords, but chose bowstrings that can be seen everywhere, and strangled the fourth prince to death without making a single movement. Early this morning, the palace people waited in the outer hall until the sun was high and the fourth prince called someone to come in to take care of freshening up. Then they went into the sleeping hall to check, but they saw that half the bed was soaked in blood, and the fourth prince's neck... "Speaking Here, Kong Wenmin paused, and when he spoke again, his voice was very low, "I was almost strangled, and my subordinates also followed Commander Ma to take a look, it was really horrible."
"Where is Commander Ma?" Zhong Mingwei asked again in a hurry, "Long Live Lord must be furious when such a big thing happens? Is Commander Ma sentenced or sent to prison?"
"Master Qi, Commander Ma..." Kong Wenmin took a deep breath, and then said in a deep voice, "Commander Ma was just executed by the order of Long Live Lord."
"What?!" Meiya, who had been on the sidelines not daring to speak out, was stunned at this moment, she sat up from the chair suddenly, looked at Kong Wenmin in disbelief, "Commander Ma is indeed guilty, but he deserved his death Right? If we want to investigate, shouldn’t the night guards in the Palace of the Four Emperors be punished? How could it be implicated on the head of Commander Ma? Moreover, Commander Ma was executed before anything was found out. There's no reason for that!"
"I'm afraid someone is obstructing it," Zhong Mingwei said slowly, and suddenly asked Kong Wenmin, "What about now? Since Ma Zhiming is dead, who will be the commander of the Imperial Forest Army?"
"Master Qi, Lord Long Live has not been appointed yet, but the deputy commander Zhou You'an will take care of it for the time being," Kong Wenmin said hurriedly, while he said with some embarrassment, "Commander Zhou just ordered to withdraw the 20 imperial forest troops stationed in the Prince's Mansion of An County. Guards, return to the Imperial Forest Army camp and be on standby at any time, this subordinate is here to report this matter to the Lord."
"Should be! Should be!" Zhong Mingwei didn't speak, but Meiya hurriedly nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Such a big incident happened in the palace, I'm afraid there are not enough manpower on the side of the Imperial Forest Army, guard Dakong, hurry up Take the guards back, and don't provoke Long Live God to be angry again."
"Yes, that subordinate will take his leave first," Kong Wenmin bowed at that moment, turned around and was about to leave, but stopped suddenly, turned around again, looked around, and then leaned in front of Zhong Mingwei and whispered , "Master, didn't you want to recruit a group of servants into the mansion before? Now is a great opportunity."
