Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 47 Assassination of the Imperial City
Night falls.

Lu Hao appeared at the fund-raising scene in the Imperial City.

As expected, as long as officials take the lead, many people will participate in fundraising.

Even though it was almost dark, there were still people coming to collect donations.

Vice Commander Yan and his imperial guards were busy, but everyone had smiles on their faces.

"Reporting to my father-in-law, as of now, we have received donations of approximately more than 120 million taels of silver."

Reported by Deputy Commander Yan.

"Since there are so many, let's call it a day."

Lu Hao smiled.

With an order, the donation table was dismantled, announcing that the fundraising event was over.

"Soldiers of the Imperial Guard, you have worked hard these past few days. We will treat you all to a nice meal tonight."

Lu Hao decided to comfort everyone.

Anyway, he has money now, and a group of people went to Fengxian Tower, the largest and most expensive building in the imperial city.

The most important thing is that this is a royal property and is directly managed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

A casual meal here is at least a month's salary for a member of the Imperial Guard.

Therefore, when I heard that Lu Hao invited them to come here for dinner, I was immediately excited.

More than 100 people came in large numbers, and the restaurant suddenly became lively.

In the restaurant lobby, Lu Hao asked Deputy Commander Yan to start distributing living allowances for the past few days.

100 taels of silver per person.

For soldiers who only had a few taels of silver each month, this was a huge sum of money.

However, Lu Hao also issued a hush-hush order, claiming that he only had five taels of silver to avoid causing dissatisfaction with other imperial guards.

As for Li Yuanjie who had meritorious service, he received 500 taels of silver.

As the supreme commander, Deputy Commander Yan received 1000 taels of silver.

It is estimated that it will take a few days for the two of them to receive their promotion orders.

The group of people had a good time drinking, and after having enough wine and food, Lu Hao felt a little dizzy.

Fortunately, the alcohol content in Qianyuan Continent was very low. Although Lu Hao drank a lot, he was not drunk yet.

After leaving the restaurant, everyone headed towards the palace along the central axis of the imperial city.

Suddenly, the sound of breaking through the air came.

"Not good! There are assassins!"

Lu Hao's hearing was astonishing, and as far as he could see, an arrow was shot towards him.

The energy pierced the sky as fast as lightning.

Fortunately, Lu Hao's hearing and eyesight were amazing, and his reaction was very fast. He rolled on the spot and just avoided the arrow.

puff!

The feather arrow shot into the ground, directly piercing the stone pavement, splashing a burst of gravel and flying in all directions.

What a terrifying power!

Lu Hao was secretly frightened and almost burped.

"There are assassins! Protect your lord!"

Deputy Commander Yan roared angrily.

The rest of the Imperial Guards immediately formed a circle, protecting Lu Hao in the middle.

Puff puff……

The sound of countless arrows piercing the air came.

At this critical moment of life and death, Lu Hao's hearing and vision reached their peak.

"Back up and into the alley."

Lu Hao issued the order.

All the soldiers followed his words completely blindly.

She protected him and retreated quickly, directly into the alley.

puff...

All the arrows missed and hit the ground.

The killer who was ambushing in front missed a single blow and immediately chased him.

"Go left into the alley."

Lu Hao issued the order again.

"Catch the assassin! Catch the assassin..."

The soldiers of the Praetorian Guards fled and shouted.

Such a loud sound immediately alerted the patrolling city defense troops.

Lu Hao's super hearing and vision allowed him to choose the best route and blind spots to easily avoid the killer.

The pursuing killer chased him down two streets. Knowing that the assassination mission had failed, he quickly ran away.

"The killer is gone, let's go out."

Lu Hao showed up with everyone.A group of city defense troops rushed over and surrounded them.

"General Peng, it's me!"

Deputy Commander Yan greeted loudly.

"It turns out to be Deputy Commander Yan. Did you encounter an assassin?"

General Peng asked.

"Yes, this is Eunuch Lu from the palace, and he is also the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Deputy Commander Yan quickly introduced Lu Hao.

Lu Hao's name is now well known.

As the general of the city defense camp, how could Peng Shijun not know?
"It turns out to be Eunuch Lu. General Peng Shijun is paying homage to Eunuch Lu!"

General Peng clasped his fists and saluted.

"General Peng, you don't have to be polite."

Lu Hao responded.

"Someone actually dares to assassinate Eunuch Lu in the imperial city. I'm really impatient. You guys will escort Eunuch Lu back, and the rest of you will follow my general to continue hunting down the assassin!"

General Peng said loudly and led a group of soldiers in pursuit.

Lu Hao knew that the killer had run away a long time ago, so he was chasing after him!
Who wants his life?

Is it the Prime Minister?

Now it seems that only the Prime Minister is the most suspicious.

However, the two have always been hostile. If Lu Hao is assassinated, it will be difficult for the Prime Minister to explain to the Emperor.

Although Lu Hao said he was lucky to be fine this time, it was still a wake-up call for him.

If you are not careful, you may die.

Eunuch Lu was assassinated in the imperial city.

The imperial city was shaken inside and outside, and almost all the city defense troops came out to hunt down the murderer.

Suddenly, the city defense troops from the Imperial City, the Inner City, and the Outer City were all dispatched.

The inner room of Qianyuan Palace.

"Xiao Liuzi, are you really not hurt?"

Murong Yuan expressed concern.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! This servant was not injured."

Lu Hao replied.

"These assassins are so arrogant. They actually dare to assassinate in the imperial city. What do the city defense troops do for food?"

Murong Yuan was very angry.

If Lu Hao died, no one would treat him.

How can I regain my glory?
"Xiao Liuzi, tell me, is it the Prime Minister's fault?"

Murong Yuan asked coldly.

"The killer missed a hit and immediately ran away. There is no proof and no evidence. I dare not lie!"

Lu Hao replied with a grimace.

"I heard that he came to the Ministry of Internal Affairs today to ask for an audience. If you asked him to come back tomorrow, you probably lost his face and made him want to kill."

Murong Yuan said thoughtfully.

"Your Majesty, this slave is stupid! Don't dare to speak nonsense!"

Lu Hao didn't know if it was Yu Qian's fault.

However, he also had an intuition that the more suspicious a person was, the less likely he was to be the murderer.

"If he was not responsible, the official who was caught in the corruption case would be the most suspect."

Murong Yuan said to himself.

His guess was correct. Lu Hao had just handled the corruption case. If no one resented him, he wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death.

"Xiao Liuzi, you don't have any martial arts skills. You have to be careful when traveling in the future. The Yi family sisters are very strong in martial arts. Let them protect you from now on!"

Murong Yuan actually arranged two bodyguards for him.

The Yi sisters?High in martial arts?
Lu Hao really didn't see this.

No wonder they appeared in the imperial study, presumably to protect the emperor.

However, the emperor is also a hidden martial arts master, so naturally he does not need the protection of two people.

To be honest, if you are highly skilled in martial arts at the age of seventeen or eight, doesn't that mean you have been trained since childhood?

"Slave thank you Lord Ron!"

Lu Hao quickly thanked him.

"Okay, how is the situation at the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

Murong Yuan asked about the business.

"Reporting to your Majesty, the Ministry of Internal Affairs cannot make ends meet, the principals are lining their own pockets, and there are huge loopholes in management. I will definitely do my best to reorganize the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Lu Hao didn't hide anything.
