Chapter 37: Kill him, and ransack the General's Mansion!

The main gate of the General's Mansion.

Holding the imperial edict, Cao Zhengchun calmly looked at the plaque in front of the General's Mansion that read "General's Mansion".

He sneered inwardly.

The General's Mansion?

After today, this General's Mansion will probably cease to exist!

Cao Zhengchun thought to himself.

Behind Cao Zhengchun stood a hundred imperial guards dressed in eagle-patterned uniforms, with crescent-shaped knives at their waists and jade belts around their necks.

Their eyes were sharp as eagles, and their aura was overwhelming.

They all look like ruthless killers who wouldn't blink an eye.

In addition to these one hundred imperial guards, the surrounding area was also densely packed with palace guards, numbering as many as three thousand, completely surrounding the General's Mansion.

"Master, the Imperial Guards just reported that someone escaped through the back gate, and they were unable to stop him."

A guard stepped forward and whispered in Cao Zhengchun's ear.

"Hehe, you can run away but you can't hide. Let's deal with the general first."

"If I'm not mistaken, the one who escaped should be Wan'er, the one who serves the Empress in the palace."

"It seems that you arrived just in time."

Cao Zhengchun gave a sinister smile.

In order to ensure that General Wu Jin received the news before Wan'er could inform him of any unforeseen events, it was crucial that he be informed of what might have happened.

After leaving the palace and conveying the decrees from all sides, Cao Zhengchun immediately led his troops and assembled the Imperial Guards to attack the General's Mansion.

Not a moment's delay.

Fortunately, they arrived in time.

Otherwise, if we had been any later...

After receiving news of Wan'er, General Wu Jin will leave the city for the military camp.

Although the four gates and nine cities of Luoyang were sealed off by Jin He, given Jin He's strength, it's estimated that he couldn't stop General Wu Jin.

If General Wu Jin were to leave the city and arrive at the southern camp, things would spiral out of control.

Of course, the role of the imperial guard sent by Cao Zhengchun to keep watch outside the General's Mansion also played a part.

If the imperial guards hadn't stopped Wan'er for a moment, she wouldn't have been able to enter the General's Mansion.

Unfortunately, that eunuch died at the hands of Wan'er and the Phoenix Guard.

……

Cao Zhengchun?
After General Wu Jin came out, his eyes flickered when he saw the eunuch at the front of the gate.

He had heard a lot about the methods of this head of the Eastern Depot over the past two weeks.

He can be described as ruthless.

He was the emperor's most trusted and trusted eunuch.

"Cao Zhengchun".

"You've led the Imperial Guards to surround my General's Mansion and block its entrance. What are you trying to do?"

General Wu Jin glanced at the Imperial Guards surrounding them, then stared at Cao Zhengchun with a grim expression and asked.

"hehe."

"General, receive the imperial decree!"

Cao Zhengchun sneered, not bothering to say anything more, and directly opened the imperial edict in his hand and began to read it aloud.

"By imperial decree, General Wu Jin has been accused of abusing his power, forming cliques, instigating officials to storm the palace, plotting a rebellion, and conspiring with the harem to poison the emperor. His crimes are unforgivable. He is hereby removed from his post as General and imprisoned in the imperial jail."

Cao Zhengchun read the sacred text with a blank expression, his voice completely flat.

what?
The Grand General plotted a rebellion and poisoned the Emperor. The Emperor wanted to remove the Grand General from his post and imprison him in the Imperial Prison.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the General's Mansion changed their expressions.

You must understand that rebellion and poisoning the emperor are no jokes; they are crimes punishable by the extermination of nine generations of one's family.

They were all from the General's Mansion. Once this crime was committed, none of them could escape; they would all be implicated.

The servants in the general's mansion, in particular, turned deathly pale with fright.

General Wu Jin's expression didn't change much.

After hearing the news about Wan'er, General Wu Jin was prepared for this.

Seeing that the Imperial Guards had surrounded the entire General's Mansion, General Wu Jin knew that things were unlikely to end well.

It was a situation where it was either you die or I live. After reading the imperial edict, Cao Zhengchun looked at General Wu Jin with a sinister expression; "General, you've heard the imperial edict, accept it!"

Accept the purpose?

General Wu Jin straightened up and laughed disdainfully.

"This general is a minister appointed by the late emperor to assist in governing the country. It is utterly laughable that you think you can arrest me with a mere imperial decree."

"His Majesty was instigated by villains like you to issue such an absurd imperial edict."

"I'd rather not accept such an imperial edict!"

General Wu Jin reached out and sucked, and the imperial edict in Cao Zhengchun's hand immediately flew into General Wu Jin's hand.

"boom."

General Wu Jin flicked his hand, and the golden imperial edict immediately shattered into pieces and scattered in the air.

Now that the pretense of civility has been broken and the person in the palace has decided to take action against them, General Wu Jin has nothing left to worry about.

A mere imperial decree was enough to make him submit and be captured.

Is that possible?

"Bold."

"Wu Jin, how dare you tear up the imperial edict! You deserve to die!"

When Cao Zhengchun saw Wu Jin tear up the imperial edict, his face immediately darkened.

"Someone is coming."

“Wu Jin tore up the imperial edict and plotted a rebellion. He shall be executed by this governor. The Grand General’s mansion shall be ransacked, and not a single person shall be spared.”

Cao Zhengchun coldly and directly gave the order.

"Yes."

One hundred guards from the Eastern Depot charged forward without hesitation.

These one hundred guards were elite guards whom Zhou Chen had signed in through the system; they were utterly loyal.

They wouldn't hesitate for a second, let alone raid the General's Mansion, or even the Prince's Mansion.

"kill."

"Those who disobey imperial orders and plot rebellion will be executed without mercy."

One hundred imperial guards, filled with overwhelming killing intent, stormed into the General's Mansion.

When the Imperial Guards saw that the Imperial Guards had made their move, they followed suit without hesitation and charged in.

Some people were initially hesitant.

After all, the general's prestige has been deeply ingrained in the minds of some people.

Make a move against the General and ransack his mansion.

To say I wasn't afraid would be a lie.

But they have no room to retreat now, so they have no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

Bang.

Bang.

Bang.

The sounds of weapons clashing suddenly rang out.

The soldiers of the General's Mansion were not to be trifled with either, and the two sides immediately clashed.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of people fell to the ground.

There were those from the General's Mansion and those from the Imperial Guards, but none from the Special Police and the Imperial Depot.

Compared to the strength of the General's Mansion and the Imperial Guards, the strength of the Imperial Guards was undoubtedly far superior.

One hundred imperial guards are equivalent to the strength of over a thousand imperial soldiers.

The battle situation gradually became one-sided.

General Wu Jin saw this and his face turned ugly.

You should know that the soldiers in his General's Mansion are all elites he selected from the Six Guards of the Southern Camp, and they are no less capable than the Imperial Guards.

If he were to face the Imperial Guards alone, General Wu Jin would dare say that the Imperial Guards might not be a match for the soldiers of his General's Mansion.

But now, because of those hundred imperial guards, over a hundred of his general's men have been killed or wounded.

These are all his most elite troops.
