Chapter 625 - 622: The Matter is Settled_1
Zhong Shaozhong’s voice came from within the Court of Judicial Review walls, making Bi Heng’s eyes turn red outside, and the imperial guards tense up.
"Imperial Guards!" Bi Heng drew his sword and roared, "The Crown Prince has plotted rebellion, designed to harm the Emperor, causing His Majesty to fall from his horse! As imperial guards, we must swear to protect His Majesty and the Empress with our lives! Those who dare to follow me into the palace to protect His Majesty... proceed to the Imperial City immediately! Those who protect His Majesty with merit shall be rewarded with gold and titles!"
After shouting loudly, Bi Heng leaped onto a horse and set off first.
The imperial guards, holding flaming torches high, were all excited and followed Bi Heng at full speed, galloping all the way.
"Bi Heng! Stop!" The head of the Imperial Guards pushed through the soldiers gathered in front of the Court of Judicial Review, shouting at Bi Heng. But he only saw that most of the guards had followed Bi Heng, which made him furious. "Go! Stop them! If anyone dares to trespass the Imperial City, they will be executed for treason without exception!"
Inside the Court of Judicial Review, Zhong Shaozhong, who had been escorted back to the Ming Hall, had a faint smile on his lips as he looked at Lu Jin. The matter was settled.
He had already arranged everything for the Zhong family. Three days ago, he began to have loyal servants use the secret passage in the mansion to take the Zhong family’s members out of Dadu City.
If this succeeded, he would bring the entire Zhong family back to enjoy endless wealth and honor. If it failed, it would only cost him his life.
