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

Chapter 72 A sword seals the throat

After sending out a distress signal, the city defense troops arrived in just ten minutes.

The school lieutenant who led the support team knew that Mr. Lu Haolu had been assassinated and immediately ordered a pursuit.

However, those killers have long since disappeared.

With Lu Hao's hearing and eyesight, if he had chased him just now, he might have found some clues.

However, Lu Hao was still more conservative and worried about being ambushed by assassins.

"Reporting to your lord, five brothers died, two were seriously injured, and one was slightly injured..."

Lei Jie returned to Huihui to report.

"Brothers who died, we will receive double the pension, and those with serious or minor injuries will be sent to the Taipei Hospital for treatment."

Lu Hao said with a dark face and a deep voice.

Lei Jie took the order and left to deal with the aftermath.

Lu Hao and the Yi sisters were escorted by the city defense army and returned to the palace to see Murong Yuan.

"What? There are assassins again? How dare you assassinate my most trusted ministers? These assassins are too bold!"

Murong Yuan was shocked and angry.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. This slave's life is very tough. He only suffered a slight injury. He has already been given medicine and is fine."

Lu Hao comforted with a smile.

"How can it be okay? Xiao Liuzi, tell me, who wants your life? I will destroy all nine of his tribes!"

Murong Yuan said angrily.

"Your Majesty, even your servants don't know!"

Lu Hao replied with a grimace.

"Okay, from now on you should stay in the city if you have nothing to do. If you want to go out to inspect the properties of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, ask more people to protect you."

Murong Yuan warned.

"The servant knows."

Lu Hao responded.

"The autumn air is crisp now. In two days it will be the annual autumn hunting time. Come and hunt with me then."

Murong Yuan said with a smile.

In fact, the Great Yan Empire was founded by force, and autumn hunting was held every year.

The sons and daughters of members of the royal family and ministers of the court will participate. If they perform well and are favored by the emperor, they will be promoted and make a fortune soon.

Of course, all the concubines and nobles in the palace can also go out for some fresh air.

According to Lu Hao, this was an autumn sports meeting held by the royal family of the Dayan Empire.

Lu Hao gave the emperor a general report on today's inspection of the mines of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Murong Yuan didn't care about making steel or salt, as long as he could help the royal family make money, he would be satisfied.

Lu Hao returned to Yuxiang residence.

The Yi sisters were still waiting for him, and their hair was wet. They had obviously just finished bathing.

Both of them were wearing white nightgowns, and their curvy figures were looming, making the tired Lu Hao seem energetic.

If he wasn't worried that they would know that he was a fake eunuch, he would have captured them long ago.

Of course, Lu Hao also knew that they were the ones arranged by Murong Yuan to monitor him.

Therefore, he was still wary of the two sisters.

However, he couldn't express his rejection of the two of them too much, lest he arouse Murong Yuan's suspicion.

Since they were willing to serve, Lu Hao did not refuse, hugging her from left to right, taking advantage of the girls and enjoying the blessings of everyone.

Although he was holding two beautiful girls, Lu Hao still couldn't sleep after the assassination.

It seems that he has offended many people. Who wants to kill him?It’s hard to say.

Today he went to inspect the properties of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It was easy to track his whereabouts. It was normal to ambush him on the way back to the city.

Lu Hao recalled the assassination just now, making sure not to miss every detail to see if he could find any clues.

The scene of the assassination just now came to mind, including masked assassins, raids, chases, sieges, assassin leaders...

Suddenly, he shot him in the head!
The assassins dispersed in a hurry, and the leader's body was snatched away and disappeared into the darkness.

Countless images were replayed in his mind like movie reels, making him secretly surprised by his horrific memories.

Could it be that his brain has also mutated?
Enhanced your memory?

Suddenly, during countless replays, Lu Hao was surprised to find that the moment the assassin leader fell to the ground, a jade pendant was exposed around his waist.There is a very strange pattern on the jade pendant.

Although he didn't know what it was, it made him remember it completely.

The next day.

After breakfast, Lu Hao went to the imperial study to meet the emperor.

During this period, Murong Yuan had no intention of going to court because the fifth prince was killed.

Therefore, many memorials accumulated in the Imperial Study Room.

Murong Yuan was being attended by two ceremonial eunuchs and palace maids, reviewing memorials from all directions.

The new eunuchs Xiao Guizi and Xiao Dezi were under Lu Hao's direct jurisdiction, so they respected him very much.

After Murong Yuan finished reviewing the memorial, he filed it, transcribed it, and distributed it.

Well organized and orderly.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps came from outside.

Eunuch Hai strode over, his expression gloomy and scary.

"Your Majesty, something big has happened!"

Eunuch Hai loudly reported.

"what's up?"

Murong Yuan, who was reviewing the memorial, asked coldly.

"Concubine Hua's brother Shangguan Lin was assassinated last night, and Shangguan Cheng's two sons Shangguan Yang and Shangguan Xun were also killed!"

Reported by Haigong Gonghui.

"What? Shangguan Lin is dead?"

Murong Yuan was shocked.

How could Murong Yuan not know about Concubine Hua's brother Shangguan Lin, who was also his uncle?

Shangguan Lin is one of the eight commanders of the Guards, with [-] troops in his hands.

Shangguan Cheng's two sons also served in the army. The three of them basically lived in the military camp. How could they be assassinated?
Overnight, three promising descendants of the Shangguan family died.

This was definitely a premeditated assassination.

And it was targeted at the Shangguan family, the empress dowager's family.

"Yes, all three of them sealed their throats with one sword! My servant and Eunuch Yan have seen the wounds. The killer's swordsmanship is unparalleled. He is definitely a ninth-grade master!"

Eunuch Hai explained in detail.

"Ninth-grade master? Another ninth-grade master? Have all the current ninth-grade masters been reduced to assassins?"

Murong Yuan was furious.

The fifth prince was killed by a ninth-grade master, and now the three Shangguanlin brothers were also assassinated by a ninth-grade master.

The imperial city of the Great Yan Empire is so unsafe, wouldn’t it be a joke to everyone in the world?

"Eunuch Yan has already gone to trace the clues!"

Eunuch Hai added.

"Does the Queen Mother know about it?"

Murong Yuan thought of his mother.

"The Queen Mother has sent someone to report it."

Eunuch Hai responded.

"Where is Shangguan Cheng? Is he still in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment now? I have given you an oral order to release Shangguan Cheng and ask him to go home immediately."

Murong Yuan ordered loudly.

"Minions take orders!"

After Eunuch Hai finished speaking, he hurried away.

"Xiao Liuzi, take the lead in Cining Palace!"

Murong Yuan was furious and strode out.

Lu Hao took several eunuchs and maids with him and chased him out. Under the escort of Ouchi masters, the group rushed to Cining Palace in a hurry.

On the other side, Concubine Hua, who was greeting the Empress Dowager in Cining Palace, fainted on the spot when she learned that her brother had been assassinated.

When the empress dowager heard the news, her mind went blank, and she slumped on the chair in despair, completely stupid.
