In Yangzhou City, Chai Shao was anxiously waiting in a restaurant because today was the day he had agreed to meet with the assassins from the Network.
According to the agreement, the assassins from the Network would complete their mission today.
There was a box behind him, and inside it was the commission for the killer, 100,000 taels of gold.
However, he waited for an entire day, but there was no news.
Helpless, he could only bring the gold back home.
Just as he stepped into the main hall of the house, the butler rushed in anxiously.
Because she was in a hurry, she almost fell to the ground when she entered the door.
"Young Master, this is bad, this is bad.”
After a while, the butler came in front of Chai Shao.
When Chai Shao saw the butler so flustered, he immediately had an ominous feeling.
"Why are you so flustered?"”
Gulp!
The butler swallowed deeply and cupped his hands."There is news from Luoyang that the assassins from the network failed to assassinate the Emperor. Moreover, their leader Xuan Jian was imprisoned by the Emperor for interrogation.”
Hearing up to here, Chai Shao was completely stunned. A bolt of lightning struck down heavily from a clear sky.
It was fine if the assassination failed, but he was actually captured.
If this assassin was exposed as an assassin he hired, then the emperor would definitely punish him, and even the entire Chai family would suffer.
Assassinating the emperor was a great crime that could exterminate nine families.
"Young Master, what should we do now?"”
Chai Shao took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
After thinking for a moment, he said," In for a penny, in for a pound. The only thing we can do now is to order people to enter the Imperial Palace's prison and kill Xuan Jian."”
"As long as he dies, the whole thing won't be exposed.”
"Let's give the emperor a dead man without evidence.”
"Quickly go down and gather the martial arts experts of our Chai family to carry out my orders.”
"This time, it concerns the life and death of the entire Chai clan, success is not allowed.”
"Yes, Young Master."”
Just as the steward turned to leave, Julu Prefecture Duke Chai Shen appeared in the main hall.
He was returning from a stroll in the back garden.
When he saw the flustered and worried expressions of the butler and his son, Chai Shao, he asked curiously,"What's wrong with the two of you? You're acting so crazy.”
Chai Shao smiled and said," Father, it's nothing. I just asked the butler to help me gather some martial arts friends. We're going to have a gathering."”
At this moment, the sound of hurried horse hooves came from outside the door.
"Surround the entire Chai clan, don't let anyone escape.”
"Yes, sir!"
An earth-shattering sound came from outside the door.
"Master, Young Master, something bad has happened.”
A servant ran in from outside the door. He was in a very sorry state, and his eyes were filled with fear.
Chai Shen saw this and scolded,"What happened? Why are you so flustered? What a disgrace."”
"Master, it's the Snow Dragon Riders!" The servant said while panting.”
"They're here to raid our house."
Hearing this, Chai Shen had a dumbfounded expression, completely not knowing what had happened.
He asked,"What crime has my Chai clan committed?”
Da da!
Before he finished speaking, the commander of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry, Yuan Zuozong, came to the main hall with the imperial edict in his hand. He said to Chai Shen, Chai Shao, and the others,"Hmph, what crime!"
"Take a look for yourselves."
Finished talking, Yuan Zuozong threw the imperial edict to Chai Shen.
Chai Shen, who didn't know anything, picked up the imperial edict and looked at it.
When he saw the contents clearly, his expression changed drastically. His hands trembled as he looked at Chai Shao in horror.
"Shao 'er, is it true that you hired an assassin to assassinate His Majesty?"”
When Chai Shao heard this, his entire body retreated a few steps, and he leaned weakly on a chair at the side, his eyes filled with despair.
He did not expect the Emperor to find out about this so quickly.
Seeing his son Chai Shao's expression, Chai Shen knew that the imperial edict was true.
Instantly, Chai Shen was so angry that his chest hurt, and he almost couldn't breathe.
He roared," You silkpants! Who gave you the guts to hire someone to assassinate His Majesty? He's the ruler of a country! Do you want the entire Chai family to bear an indelible crime?!"”
Chai Shao smiled helplessly." Who asked the Emperor to issue an imperial edict to summon Xiu Ning into the palace as a concubine? It ruined my marriage with Xiu Ning."”
"He deserves to die!"
Hearing that, Chai Shen was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
He said hysterically," What a sin! I'm the son of the Duke of Julu County. I'm actually going to be charged with the crime of regicide for a woman."”
"Duke of Julu County, do you know your crimes now?" Yuan Zuozong asked.”
"Men, take him down."
Right after Yuan Zuozong gave the order, the Snow Dragon Cavalry behind him moved out, wanting to capture Chai Shao and his son.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just as he was about to attack, dozens of martial artists with weapons flew out from the door and blocked the Snow Dragon Cavalry.
Chai Shen sneered,"Since things have come to this, my Chai clan can only fight to the death."”
Yuan Zuozong looked at the martial artists in front of him, and his eyes revealed a killing intent. He said,"What, you and your son want to disobey orders?”
"His Majesty has ordered that if you resist, the Snowy Dragon Cavalry will kill you without mercy.”
Chai Shen said,"Cut the crap. It's not that easy to raid my house."”
Now that things had come to this, Yuan Zuozong would not be polite.
"Snow Dragon Cavalry, listen up! Kill them!"”
Immediately, the entire Chai clan turned into a battlefield.
Yang Hao had sent ten thousand Snowy Dragon Cavalry for this operation. He didn't want to give Chai Shao any chance to escape.
The mighty 10,000 Snow Dragon Cavalry was extremely terrifying. Even though the Chai family was wealthy and had thousands of servants, many of whom were skilled in martial arts, under the powerful pressure of the Snow Dragon Cavalry, everyone in the Chai family was wiped out in less than 15 minutes.
Chai tribe's huge wealth was all taken away by the snow dragon cavalry and brought back to Luoyang.
Chai clan, whose wealth was comparable to a country, had turned into ruins overnight.
This matter quickly spread.
Shocking the world!
Taiyuan Li family, in the main hall.
Li Jing hurriedly walked into the main hall with a letter in his hand. He hurriedly said,"Second Young Master, Fourth Young Miss, something has happened to the Chai family.”
Li Yuan, Li Shimin, and Li Xiu Ning were discussing the matter of entering the palace to meet the emperor three days later.
Hearing Li Jing's words, the three of them looked over.
"What's the matter?" asked Li Shimin.
Then, Li Jing opened the letter and handed it to Li Shiming.
When he read the contents of the letter, Li Shiming was shocked.
"What is it exactly?" Li Yuan asked.”
Li Shi Min replied," The letter said that in order to prevent Xiu Ning from entering the palace, Chai Shao offered 100,000 taels of gold to hire an assassin to assassinate the Emperor Yang Hao. In the end, the Emperor found out the whole story and ordered 10,000 Snow Dragon Cavalry to kill the entire Chai family."”
This news was like a bolt from the blue, shocking Li Yuan.
