Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 576: Eliminate Zhao Yong
Zhao Mu nodded and said, "Well! Thank you for your hard work, Master's Wife."

Li Qiushui smiled and said, "Haha. It's not hard or not. Master's wife is old now, and I don't know how many days she has left. If I can help you kids more, I will help you more. Well, let's stop talking nonsense. There is no time to delay in curing diseases and saving lives. Ah Zhu girl, you don't have to pack up. Bring some money for travel expenses. Let's go now."

Ah Zhu nodded. Hu Yanjin handed the letter he had written to Ah Zhu, and Ah Zhu followed Li Qiushui away.

After Li Qiushui left, Li Qinglu said, "Now we just have to wait for the end of His Majesty's coronation ceremony. Then we will send out the troops!"

But Hu Yanjin said at this time: "Husband, do we really have to be so ruthless? Although Zhao Yong is useless, he is your brother after all."

Zhao Mu looked at Hu Yanjin and asked, "Why? Jin'er, do you feel sorry for him?"

Hu Yanjin shook his head and said, "Of course not. Although it's not good to talk about my uncle behind his back, Zhao Yong and Chai Qing were both famous playboys. Since marrying Sister Qian, my uncle has restrained himself a little. Otherwise, I would have taught him a lesson. But this fratricide is still a bit unfair. What's more, if he died, what would happen to my mother-in-law and sister-in-law?"

Zhao Mu sighed and said, "This can't be helped. I am doing this for everyone's sake. The trouble he caused this time is really too big. This idiot should never have accepted the title of the false emperor. After we take back Bianjing in the future, the false emperor's party will naturally be liquidated. Otherwise, this will not convince the public. Rather than making things difficult for me later, it is better to take action now. At least I can leave him with a good reputation now."

"Besides, he will not forgive him when His Majesty is restored to the throne in the future. His death now can save everyone. At least my sister-in-law can be saved among the three clans. Otherwise, even if my sister-in-law keeps her life, she will be a slave. She is a princess of the Deng Palace. Rather than bringing shame to everyone, she can only sacrifice my brother."

As he spoke, Zhao Mu couldn't help but shed a tear.

This tear was not completely crocodile tears, he was really a little sad, though only a little.

Since ancient times, there has been no family affection in the struggle for imperial power. He never thought that he would go down this path.

Even though he had always disliked his elder brother, the feeling of sibling fratricide was really uncomfortable.

And after Zhao Yong dies, Zhao Mu will take good care of his sister-in-law.

Facing Zhao Mu's words, Hu Yanjin had nothing to say. If he had to blame anyone, he could only blame Zhao Yong for taking the wrong path, a path that would implicate everyone.

However, Hu Yanjin was somewhat fortunate that her family was also a royal family. Otherwise, her elder sister-in-law, Zhao Mu's elder sister, would also be implicated in Zhao Yong's stupid deeds. After all, the crime of rebellion would at least result in the execution of three clans.

In the following days, the platform for enthronement was slowly built.

The higher the platform was, the less life Zhao Yong and the others would have.

At this time, Zhao Yong was still secretly happy, happy that he had accomplished his mission this time. When he returned to the court, he would be granted an official position by Huizong. After all, his servant Gao Qiu was granted the title of "Grand Commander" by Huizong. Prince Consort Wang was granted the title of Grand Master. At least he would be granted the title of Minister of Works or Minister of the Interior.

On this day, Zhao Mu finally sent someone to carry out the assassination. The person Zhao Mu sent to carry out the assassination mission was Ju Jian, whom he trusted the most.

He had only talked about this matter with Li Qinglu, Ah Zhu, and Hu Yanjin. To accomplish this matter, he had to use the most trustworthy people. After all, the reputation of killing his brother was not a good reputation.

Li Shimin was slandered by later historians for thousands of years because of killing his brother and taking his wife. Now that Zhao Mu wanted to do what Li Shimin did, he naturally had to be a little more cautious.

Zhao Mu had already arranged Zhao Yong's funeral, that is, Zhao Yong wanted to turn from darkness to light because he knew about the succession of the throne through the golden box, and was then killed by the deputy envoy. When the deputy envoy was about to escape, he sent people to block the door of the posthouse and "catch the man and the evidence" in public, so that Zhao Yong could be eliminated and a good reputation could be left for him.

After returning to the capital, I only need to posthumously confer him a few nominal official titles and give him a posthumous title. Then everyone will be at peace. Ju Jian easily sneaked into the posthouse.

At this time, the Song Dynasty envoys had already rested. Zhao Yong and the deputy envoy's rooms were deliberately arranged very close to each other. Ju Jian also found them easily.

However, Ju Jian did not take action directly. Instead, he hid under Zhao Yong's bed and watched everything outside with bated breath.

Zhao Mu had told her that this matter had to be done perfectly. If he was killed now, the blood on his body would dry up quickly, and anyone with a little common sense would be able to detect the time of Zhao Yong's death.

Zhao Mu said that he wanted to put the blame on the deputy envoy. The best opportunity to take action would be tomorrow morning, when Long Xuan, Mei Jian and others came to invite him.

Soon it was daybreak, and Long Xuan came to the inn to pick up the ready-made dragon robe and crown in accordance with Zhao Mu's previous imperial decree.

After Long Xuantong passed the message, the deputy envoy came to the room to invite Zhao Yong.

When Zhao Yong heard the knock on the door, he stood up impatiently.

When the two met, Ju Jian crawled out from under the bed and then pressed the acupoints of both of them with lightning speed.

Right now, the deputy envoy and Zhao Yong are both unable to move.

Afterwards, Ju Jian put a sharp dagger in the deputy envoy's hand, then he pressed the deputy envoy's hand and stabbed it directly into Zhao Yong's abdomen.

Zhao Yong looked at the masked man in front of him with surprise, and then fell down.

After Ju Jian finished all this, she left immediately. She pinched her throat and shouted, "Oh no! The envoy was assassinated! Someone was killed!"

Hearing this, Long Xuan, Mei Jian and others outside the door rushed in. But when everyone was in a mess, Mei Jian hid himself in a flash.

Seeing her sister evade, Ju Jian took off her veil and outer clothes, and took advantage of the fact that everyone was attracted by the killing, disguised as Mei Jian, and hid in the crowd. When Long Xuan entered the room, she used the half-move of the Six Meridians Divine Sword taught by Zhao Mu to unlock the acupuncture points of the deputy envoy.

Everyone just happened to see the deputy envoy holding a dagger, standing dumbfounded, and Zhao Yong lying in a pool of blood.

Seeing this scene, Long Xuan was also shocked. He put the golden knife in his hand directly on the neck of the deputy envoy and said, "You are so brave that you dare to kill your Majesty's biological brother!"

Ju Jian said at this time: "I knew you had bad intentions! After saying that, Ju Jian drew his sword and killed the confused deputy envoy with one strike."

Seeing how fast Ju Jian attacked, Long Xuan asked, "Madam Mei, why did you do this? He killed your Majesty's brother, and you killed him before the trial. This..."

Ju Jian replied, "He killed the King of Zhongshan. Everyone saw it with their own eyes. Why do we need to interrogate him?"
