A sword flashed out like lightning, and was positioned across Shen Zhong's neck.
"Lord Shen, please forgive me."
Shen Zhong's expression darkened completely.
An undeniable pallor instantly appeared.
Seeing this, the other Imperial Guards also gave up resisting.
With their leader, the Embroidered Uniform Guard, arrested, there was naturally no need for them to continue resisting.
Otherwise, they would all probably be dead.
Jingni led her people into the courtyard, following the increasingly clear sense of presence, and went straight into the small building deep inside.
They quickly discovered that the core member of the Luo Wang organization was almost unrecognizable as human.
The scene was so gruesome that even Jing Ni felt slightly uncomfortable.
If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have died countless times from these injuries.
Jing Ni suppressed the anger in her heart.
He instructed the two men to lift him onto the horse's back, and to take Yan Bingyun with them as well.
She turned and left the courtyard, drawing her crimson Jingni sword from its sheath.
He then angrily beheaded the heavy head.
The Net is not some loving family organization; its members are quite indifferent to each other.
But as fellow members of the Net, we can't help but empathize with such a tragic situation!
But at that moment, Sean arrived in haste with his men.
"General, spare their lives!"
A sharp shout caused Jingni to temporarily halt her sword-wielding stance.
Her gaze was cold as she stared at Sean.
They were waiting for him to give a reason for not killing Shen Zhong.
She knew that Sean had also sided with the Lord.
Therefore, she can give Sean a chance to speak.
Sean understood that he had no influence over the valiant and aloof woman before him.
So he didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Shen Zhong cannot be killed at this moment. I have already found out that Miss Si Lili's poisoning is related to Shen Zhong."
Upon hearing this, Jingni immediately sheathed her sword.
She gave Shen Zhong a cold look, and knowing the gravity of the situation, she didn't press the matter further, simply saying, "Let's go!"
He immediately left with his men. After a moment's hesitation, He Daoren also took a horse from the courtyard and quickly followed.
Sean approached Shen Zhong and said calmly, "Shen Zhong, your affair has been exposed."
Chapter 120 Dare to Provoke the Crown Prince? Shen Zhong, you don't want anything to happen to your sister, do you?
Sean looked down from above.
He showed a rare hint of pleasure.
At Jianmen Pass, although Shen Zhong smiled obsequiously at Li Chengqian,
But the occasional glances cast his way were clearly filled with contempt and undisguised murderous intent.
Now, he has transformed from a prisoner into someone in charge.
He even managed to take down Shen Zhong, the top leader, using his identity as a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. How could he not be pleased?
Shen Zhong's heart grew increasingly heavy, filled with bewilderment.
The poisoning of Si Lili was, in theory, meticulously planned and executed.
He silenced everyone involved.
Even that Poison Immortal died silently.
Logically speaking, there should be no way anyone could discover that he was involved in this matter.
In fact, that Poison Immortal was actually an old Jinyiwei (Imperial Guard) who had faked his death more than ten years ago.
He is probably the only person in the entire Northern Qi who knows of the existence of the Poison Immortal.
How did Sean discover the clues about him?
Moreover, it had only been less than a day since Sean took over the matter.
In such a short time, even if Sean is as difficult to deal with as rumored, how could he have been found so easily?
"Lord Sean, you must have misunderstood. How could I possibly be involved in poisoning Miss Si Lili?"
Sean smiled faintly, "Lord Shen may not know about my friendship with the Poison Immortal. I thought of him from the moment I was poisoned. Lord Shen had better behave himself and hand over the Poison Immortal, so that things don't get too ugly."
He had a long-standing relationship with the Poison Immortal (相8521 04278 )
Naturally, they couldn't believe that this guy, whose poison skills were astonishing and comparable to Fei Jie's, had been dead for over a decade.
Based on past memories,
He found a secret hideout that the Poison Immortal was still using.
From its arrangement, we can see that
At least two weeks ago, there were signs of life still in the area.
However, from some hidden records,
He also knew that although the Poison Immortal had changed his name, he was still serving the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
Si Lili is poisoned, and the Poison Fairy disappears.
He didn't believe it was a coincidence.
At the very least, Shen Zhong is definitely involved!
Shen Zhong's expression remained unchanged as he said, "Poison Immortal? A man who has been dead for over a decade, Lord Sean wants to use him to convict me? Even if Lord Sean is eager to regain his position as Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, these methods are a bit too hasty."
Sean's sharp, hawk-like gaze swept over Shen Zhong, a hint of amusement in his eyes.
"I heard that Lord Shen has a younger sister?"
Shen Zhong was startled, but said calmly, "Just a woman with some blood relation."
Sean chuckled softly upon hearing this and gently patted Shen Zhong's shoulder.
"Lord Shen, do you know that I suffered every day in the Censorate? I once thought that one day I would repay everything I had endured. I never expected that after I saw the light of day again, Lord Shen would be the first to experience it."
Shen Zhong's face paled slightly, and he said in a somewhat heavy tone, "I am the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. His Majesty will not allow you to act recklessly!"
A hint of disdain flashed across Sean's eyes.
"Now that you're involved in this matter, do you think His Majesty would turn against the Crown Prince to protect you?"
He shook his head and immediately ordered, "Take him away!"
Two middle-aged men with cold expressions strode over and ruthlessly took Shen Zhong away.
Shen Zhong struggled slightly before saying, "I want to see His Majesty!"
Sean said nonchalantly, "Rest assured, Commander, I will definitely report this matter to His Majesty."
At the Court of State Ceremonial, Li Chengqian looked at the captured core member who had been brought back by Jing Ni.
After seeing the injuries on his body,
A look of fury involuntarily appeared in his eyes.
Although the number of members in the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) is now large,
But those who would truly give their lives for him and would never betray him are...
There are only a few thousand core members who were recruited through recruitment cards.
Each one is an extremely rare and non-renewable resource.
Judging from these injuries, there's hardly a single uninjured spot on his body.
Even with the physical prowess of a martial artist, it's likely they wouldn't be able to hold out for more than a few days.
However, compared to Si Lili's poisoning that penetrated deep into her internal organs...
These injuries are much easier to treat.
A clean room was cleared out next to Si Lili's room.
Cutting flesh, stitching, disinfecting, removing bruises, and smoothing out meridians.
It took nearly two hours to treat all the wounds on the person's body.
All that's left is to rest and recover gradually.
Li Chengqian had just finished dealing with it when...
This person slowly woke up thanks to astonishing perseverance.
"Lord!"
Upon seeing Li Chengqian, he was so excited that he tried to struggle to his feet to pay his respects.
Li Chengqian pressed him down and said, "Rest well and don't move around rashly."
His expression remained agitated, but at this moment he could not hide his guilt and disappointment.
"My lord, I am utterly incompetent."
As the head of the Luowang (Net of the Underworld) in the capital, he had hundreds of men at his disposal. If he had acted with caution, he would not have been caught by the Jinyiwei (Imperial Guard).
He naturally felt extremely ashamed and embarrassed by this.
Li Chengqian said calmly, "Indeed foolish. After this matter, go to Nanjing to participate in the newcomer training. If you cannot pass the evaluation with all the best, you will no longer need to serve as the person in charge of the capital."
"Wang Hao, do you understand?"
Wang Hao's heart skipped a beat. His master actually knew about him?
