"Colluding with the officials of the court? Is it Lu Buwei?"
The first person that popped up in Ying Zheng's mind was Lu Buwei. As his control over the State of Qin grew stronger and stronger, Lao Ai, Lu Buwei, and the others would surely be thrown into chaos.
Lu Buwei was the only one who could cooperate with Lao Ai.
"It's Lu Buwei."
Zhen Gang replied with an expression and said,"Other than Lu Buwei, there are also Crimson Afterglow Peak and Swallow Sect. There was another one, and that was the Mo Family.”
"Mo Family?"
Ying Zheng's brows were tightly knitted together. This Mo Family was actually involved in this coup. Yan Dan, the giant of the Mo family, was the crown prince of the Yan Country. His strength was unfathomable. Now that the Qin Country had yet to attack the Yan Country, why did Yan Dan participate in the coup?
It was recorded in history that although Yan Dan lived like a king, he was always worried about the fate of the country.
He had a thorough understanding of the situation in the world. Perhaps the conscription of the State of Qin had attracted Yan Dan's attention, so he took this opportunity to go all out.
This was probably the case. Yan Dan was not an easy person to deal with.
"Is the information accurate?"
"It's absolutely true."
"Go down and pass on Meng Wu."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Network Assassins all retreated. The eunuch went to inform Meng Wu, who soon came to the royal study for an audience.
Meng Wu was a general of the State of Qin and also Meng Tian's father. Both father and son were conferred the title of Nine Great Generals of Qin State by Ying Zheng, which was a glorious title.
This old general was filled with a murderous aura. He had been on the battlefield for many years and had developed a body of iron courage. He was a man of iron and a tough man.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"General Meng, please rise. I have a mission for you. Bring your troops to the Prime Minister's Residence and take Lu Buwei down!”
Meng Wu received the order and returned to the military camp with 3,000 soldiers to surround the Prime Minister's residence.
The pedestrians on the streets pointed and gossiped. Three thousand soldiers surrounded the Prime Minister's residence. This was a scene that had never been seen since the founding of the country. Could it be that Lu Buwei had done something to let Great Qin down? That's why His Majesty was so furious that he surrounded the Prime Minister's residence?
Lu Buwei, who was in the Prime Minister's residence, knew what was happening outside. He was so frightened that he collapsed on his chair and looked outside with lifeless eyes.
After a long time, he hurriedly instructed his wife to pack up some valuables and escape through the secret passage in the Prime Minister's residence. Then, accompanied by a group of servants, he walked towards the door.
What he did not know was that his wife and daughter were captured by a group of black-clothed masked assassins after they left the secret passage.
At the gate, Meng Wu looked coldly at Lu Buwei, who was walking out of the gate, and said indifferently,""Prime Minister Lu, His Majesty has ordered you to come.”
"Old General Meng, may I know what I have done to let Great Qin down? Please explain."
"Prime Minister Lu, you will know when you reach the palace. Men, take him down!"
Meng Wu didn't stand on ceremony with him. With a wave of his hand, the soldiers came forward to detain Lu Buwei.
Lu Buwei's attendants wanted to resist, but the soldiers in front of them brandished their weapons, scaring them into retreating.
The group walked towards the palace, and soon, Ying Zheng saw Lu Buwei.
Lu Buwei had been so glorious before, but now he had become a prisoner.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this old minister is loyal to Great Qin. Why are you treating this old minister like this? Wouldn't His Majesty's actions make the ministers of the court feel cold?”
"Lu Buwei, on account of your contributions to Great Qin, I did not execute you on the spot. But now you're so glib with your words that you're confusing right and wrong. Your heart should be punished! Lao Ai has already been captured, but you did not remember my kindness and launched a coup together with him. He even cooperated with the Crown Prince of Yan Country and colluded with the martial arts world to plot against them. You should be killed for such a crime!？”
Lu Buwei's face turned pale. If Ying Zheng could say such words, he naturally had evidence.
However, he did not understand why Ying Zheng knew about his secretive actions.
He wanted to ask, but Ying Zheng did not give him the chance.
"General Meng, send Lu Buwei to the death row and behead him in three days!”
Ying Zheng waved his sleeve, and General Meng took Lu Buwei away and locked him in the death cell.
The Prime Minister of a generation, who had the power to rule the country, had actually become a dying person in a day.
Lu Buwei was sent to the death row, shocking the entire court.
The incident of Lao Ai's coup and Wang Jian's siege had not yet subsided, and now, Lu Buwei's incident had also occurred. People could not help but wonder if there was any connection between the two. If there was no connection, then it must be that His Majesty was about to make a big move. Perhaps it was to consolidate the regime, so he dealt heavily with the sycophants in the court.
This caused many officials to worry. If they were found out, what would they do?
Some ambitious people clapped their hands and cheered, saying that it was time for them to show off their skills.
Ying Zheng's operation was not over yet. Crimson Afterglow Peak and Swallow Sect were both martial arts sects in the State of Qin. Now that they were involved in the coup, wouldn't he become a laughingstock if he didn't make a move?
The next day, he gave the order, and the Network Assassins moved again. The top assassins charged towards these two sects.
