At the same time, Li Yun also understood that Zhang Xu was only pushed out by Jiang Biehe and the others to calm things down. They did not want Li Yun to continue making trouble endlessly.
Zhang Xu's confession was just to put an end to this matter.
Putting out a scapegoat could indeed end this farce in a dignified manner.
This was the opportunity that Liyun had been waiting for. Now that he finally had it, how could he let it go so easily?
The aftermath of the assassination had not dissipated for a long time. The palace was investigating strictly. From the concubines to the palace maids, as long as there was anything unusual, they would be arrested. What awaited them was death.
Other than Jiang Yuyan and a few of her trusted aides, he had the imperial guards investigate all of them.
Even if it wasn't the Jiang family's spies, they would all be chased out of the palace.
Including the imperial capital and the imperial palace, the city defenses were also reshuffled. Many generals were implicated and were wiped out. Those who had connections with the Jiang family were directly killed, and those who were close to them were all raided.
Liyun took the opportunity to take control of the Capital City Defense Army.
Although the City Defense Army was not many, only three thousand, it was still meat no matter how small it was.
The important thing was that controlling the City Defense Army was equivalent to having countless spies in the Imperial Capital.
All the important positions had been changed.
Those who were observant could feel that Liyun was taking the opportunity to eliminate all the spies and people with ill intentions in the palace.
However, at this critical juncture of the assassination case, even Jiang Biehe and the others could only be speechless.
Noon.
Liyun was in the royal study. He had just personally appointed a dozen high-ranking city defense generals.
In addition, he also had the Imperial Guards Vice-Captain Du Ling lead a group of Imperial Guards outside the Imperial Palace to select some palace maids and servants with clean backgrounds.
Most of these people were poor and had no relatives. They were not afraid that they were spies.
"Everyone, remember what I said just now. If you dare to betray me, your entire family will be executed!”Li Yun's eyes shone with a sharp light.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Many of the generals who had just been promoted in the palace had a stern expression on their faces. They knelt down and cupped their fists, full of respect and gratitude for Li Yun.
They were originally small soldiers from poor families and had no achievements in the army. However, they were personally received by the Emperor and suddenly promoted. Apart from being grateful, they also treasured the opportunity to serve the Emperor.
"Alright, all of you can leave." Li Yun waved his hand.
The Imperial Guards were not clean either, but there was no hurry now. The Imperial Guards could wait for Yang Zongbao to return.
Ding!
The fifth day was a success!
Physique Enhancement!
Liyun felt that his realm was about to break through, but he was still pitifully weak.
At the Jiang family mansion.
"Little Emperor! This old man is so angry!" Jiang Biehe smashed the table with his palm.
He Shen Gao Qiu also looked at each other.
He had wanted to kill Yang Yuhuan to dampen Liyun's spirit, but Yang Yuhuan did not die. The spies and eyes he had arranged in the palace were all cleaned up by Liyun.
"The City Defense Army, which was originally in our hands very quickly, has also returned to the hands of the little Emperor after this great purge.”Jiang Yulin gritted his teeth in anger.
"It seems that we have underestimated the little Emperor's determination to turn over a new leaf.”He Shen's expression was solemn.
"When we find the Dragon Spring Treasure, I will skin him alive!”It had been a long time since someone or something had made Jiang Biehe so angry.
At first, he didn't put Liyun in his eyes. Now that he had suffered losses one after another, he really couldn't take it anymore.
Right now, the army under Liyun's control was not enough to fight against the Jiang family. Besides the Left Wei Guards, the Jiang family still had many hidden forces.
"From now on, everyone should be more careful. Don't give the little Emperor another chance!”Jiang Biehe waved his hand in frustration.
He Shen and the others also tactfully left the Jiang family estate.
Big Dipper Star walked in silently and bowed.""Your Majesty."
"Get up!" "Did you find anything?" Liyun asked lightly.”
Big Dipper Star nodded and said in a deep voice," Your Majesty, the assassination case was perfect. There were almost no flaws. Even the murderer was admitted. I have to say that the mastermind is very experienced."”
"However, this lowly subject still found some clues. There was something fishy about the thirty-some Imperial Army soldiers who committed suicide to avoid punishment. I personally went to the scene and found traces of experts. If I'm not mistaken, these thirty-some Imperial Army soldiers were killed! Then, we'll pretend that he killed her."
"There's also the Zhang family of the eastern suburbs. They're just a small declining noble family. They don't have the power to set up such a big trap to assassinate the Emperor.”
"And this humble subject discovered that the masked assassin did not come from the eastern suburbs.”
Hearing this, Liyun took a deep breath. He knew who the murderer was, but he had no evidence.
Even if they had evidence, they couldn't do anything to Jiang Biehe and the others.
"Sigh! A dragon swimming in shallow water was played by shrimps, a tiger falling to Pingyang was bullied by dogs, a cat was more powerful than a tiger, and a phoenix was less powerful than a chicken!”
Li Yun clenched his fists. When the time was right, the Jiang family would not even have a single chicken or dog left. Even the eggs would have turned yellow.
