Chapter 69 Chen Rui's confidence, Jia Xu blocks the way
"Listen to me, everyone. If anyone dares to trespass into my Chen Mansion, no matter who they are, they will be killed on the spot!"
"This is my Chen Mansion, and you are my Chen family's servants!"
"Do you understand?"
Chen Rui paused, turned around and looked at the guards, his tone was loud and clear, and he was obviously full of confidence!
"Third Master, the leader is King Xuanyong..."
The housekeeper beside him whispered.
"Hmph, so what about King Xuanyong?"
"My Chen Mansion, even if His Majesty Emperor Yu comes in person, he has to send a visiting card!"
Chen Rui's face was full of arrogance, with a hint of contempt in his eyes. He expected that Emperor Yu would not turn against his Chen family at this time.
Besides, this time it was not Emperor Yu's instruction, but King Xuanyong's private action. It was just the right opportunity to shock those wavering fence-sitters in the court!
"Open the door!"
With a low shout, the two guards rushed towards the door of the mansion, put down the wooden bolt, and the door slowly opened!
"Gu!"
Just as Chen Rui was about to leave with more than a hundred guards, he saw three rows of Jinyiwei holding strong bows and crossbows outside the mansion aiming at one row, ready to shoot arrows at any time!
The leader was a young man in a plain robe, looking at him with a smile!
"Chen family, Mr. Chen San?"
Ning Fan's smile was a little playful, and his tone was extremely gentle. Looking at the row behind Chen Rui, he said lightly: "What is this, Mr. San? Are you preparing to rebel?"
"Humph!"
Chen Rui was also holding back a lot of anger in his heart, but at this time facing rows of strong bows and crossbows, he suppressed his anger.
"I wonder what your Highness is doing by surrounding my Chen Mansion?"
"Catch the wanted criminal!"
"Wanted criminal?"
Chen Rui frowned slightly and said coldly: "My Chen family has always been law-abiding, and there is no wanted criminal as your Highness said!"
"Hehe, the assassins of the Blood Evil Pavilion who assassinated me the day before yesterday are now in your mansion!"
"Chen Rui, you colluded with the assassin organization to assassinate the current prince!"
"What a big dog's guts!"
Ning Fan's face changed immediately, with a cold face and a hint of murderous intent on his body.
"Your Highness, don't slander me!"
"My Chen Mansion has always acted upright, and my father was appointed by the previous emperor, but I can't tolerate your slander like this!"
"From what you mean... are you destined to protect the wanted criminals of the court?"
Ning Fan's eyes were filled with murderous intent. For some reason, at this moment, Chen Rui's heart actually rose a little cold. This famous playboy in the capital actually had such a strong sense of oppression!
"Your Highness, there are no wanted criminals in my Chen Mansion!"
"Since you are not going to hand them over, I will search them myself!"
"Go!"
Ning Fan waved his hand and said coldly: "If anyone obstructs, kill them without mercy!"
"Yes!"
A line of Jinyiwei behind him immediately set up strong bows and crossbows, ready to use their bowstrings.
Chen Rui's face was uncertain, and he shouted angrily: "Ning Fan, do you still have the law in your eyes? If His Majesty knew that you surrounded my Chen Mansion with your troops, you would definitely be punished!"
"What crime has this king committed in arresting wanted criminals of the court!"
"Kill them!"
Ning Fan gave the order again, and the Jinyiwei immediately did not hesitate. Jiang Li drew his long sword and led a team of people to charge into the mansion!
"Go, stop them!"
Chen Rui was also very angry. He didn't understand why a little prince dared to offend his Chen family so decisively!
You know, even His Majesty would be afraid of his Chen family!
I mentioned Emperor Yu's name, but he still didn't scare him. Could it be that Emperor Yu was really going to attack him this time?
On a street not far away, a team of Jinyiwei kept looking towards the direction of the palace, until they saw a team of imperial guards running over, and then they were shocked.
The leader was Jia Xu!
"Go, block the street, no one is allowed to enter or leave this street!"
"Yes!"
A team of Jinyiwei quickly opened up the formation, Jing Li rode over, looking at the team of Jinyiwei in front of him, his face immediately froze.
"Jinyiwei?"
"Yes!"
Jia Xu smiled and bowed, and said slightly: "Jinyiwei Deputy Commander, Jia Xu, meet the commander-in-chief!"
"It turned out to be you!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Jing Li instantly recognized that this was the scholar who discussed the world with His Highness in the Xuanyong Palace that day!
"Commander Jia, where is His Highness?"
"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, His Highness has gone to perform official duties!"
"Hmm?"
Jing Li's face suddenly froze, and he hurriedly asked: "Did he go to Chen's house?"
"I don't know!"
"Quick, tell His Highness that His Majesty has ordered him to enter the palace as soon as possible!"
"This..."
Jia Xu's face showed a trace of embarrassment, and he said softly: "I am following His Highness's order to block the street here, and you are not allowed to leave without permission!"
"You!"
Jing Li's face suddenly turned cold, and there was a trace of anger in his eyes. He said coldly: "Jia Xu, this is His Majesty's order, are you going to disobey it?"
"I dare not, but His Highness has ordered that if anyone passes by here, we will all be executed. Please don't embarrass me, Commander!"
Jing Li's eyes were shining with a gleam of brilliance, and he understood instantly when he saw Jia Xu's resolute attitude.
This team of brocade clothes was here specifically to stop him!
That person was sure that His Majesty would send someone to convey the order!
"Commander Jia, do you know what it means to attack the Chen family?"
"Of course!"
"Then why don't you stop it?"
"Why stop it?"
"You!"
Jing Li was speechless for a moment, and said angrily: "Now that His Highness has just gained power, he wants to attack the Chen family. Do you know how powerful the Chen family is? Once the Chen family is really slaughtered, even His Majesty can't save him!"
Jia Xu looked at Jing Li's earnest face, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. It seems that this commander-in-chief also has a good impression of His Highness!
Otherwise, he would never be so earnest!
"Commander, His Highness knows all the consequences, but he still did it!"
"Do you know why?"
Hearing Jia Xu's question, Jing Li's expression was stunned for a moment, and there was a hint of speculation in his heart.
Could it be that His Highness is sure to get out of this turmoil?
How is it possible!
"Commander-in-chief, now that it has begun, everything has been settled, you can go and report to His Majesty!"
"I will send someone to convey the order to His Majesty, and ask His Majesty to come to the palace to see the emperor as soon as possible!"
"Alas!"
Jing Li shook his head and sighed, looked at Jia Xu with a complicated look, and said lightly: "Master Jia, take care of yourself!"
After that, he turned his horse's head and rode back to the palace to report.
Jia Xu looked in the direction of the palace, his eyes gradually became deep, looking at several confidants beside him, and said lightly: "Go, do as I tell you, this matter must not be leaked at all!"
"Yes!"
Several Jinyiwei in plain clothes walked in different directions.
