Chapter 461 A big scene
This Lord Zhang Xingchen has already gone to Wei Zhongxian's place. Originally, the Emperor entrusted Zhang Xingchen with the task of bringing Liu Weilong to him, but Zhang Xingchen was so angry that he went directly to settle accounts with Wei Zhongxian.
He believed his subordinates were at fault, but the people from the Eastern Depot were even more at fault. So, before binding Liu Weilong, they should first capture Sun Yunhe, since the Eastern Depot was already in complete chaos.
Zhang Xingchen not only brought his own Imperial Guards, but also the Imperial Guards, and they caused a huge disturbance in the courtyard.
"Wei Zhongxian, let me tell you, you've really blown this up. You actually dared to send Zhang Tianfei to assassinate Chen Er, and you were the one who assassinated the Emperor, weren't you? You've got some nerve."
Zhang Xingchen is now exuding an imposing aura, and someone even kneels down in front of him.
The once arrogant Sun Yunhe is now tied up, looking like a mummy. Of course, it wasn't Zhang Xingchen who tied him up.
If Zhang Xingchen wanted to trap Sun Yunhe, the two would inevitably have to fight, but the courtyard was very quiet, with no signs of a fight at all.
It was obvious that the one who had bound Sun Yunhe like a dumpling was none other than Wei Zhongxian. At that moment, Wei Zhongxian sat in his seat, holding a wine cup in his hand, and began to pour himself a drink.
“Zhang Xingchen, don’t be so reckless. Besides, everything should be based on evidence. I gave Sun Yunhe to you today because the Emperor spoke up. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have bothered to do it.”
Wei Zhongxian sighed sadly as he spoke.
Wei Zhongxian's words immediately made Zhang Xingchen burst into laughter. Now Zhang Xingchen finally understood that Wei Zhongxian was sacrificing a pawn to save the king. To put it bluntly, Wei Zhongxian was in dire straits himself.
"Wei Zhongxian, let's not even talk about whether Wei Zhongxian sent Zhang Tianfei to kill Chen Er or not. Let's just talk about Zhang Tianfei first. You assassinated the emperor first, so he must have been hidden in your residence by you, Wei Zhongxian."
"What evidence do we need? Come with us, and the Emperor will personally present the evidence to you," Zhang Xingchen mocked Wei Zhongxian.
Unfortunately, Wei Zhongxian no longer took Zhang Xingchen seriously. In fact, throughout the entire Ming Dynasty, the only person Wei Zhongxian was truly loyal to was the Empress Dowager, who held real power. To put it bluntly, although the Empress Dowager was nearing her death, she was still incredibly shrewd and calculating.
Otherwise, the Emperor wouldn't have been so thoroughly manipulated by the Empress Dowager, and now he has no chance to resist at all. However, Wei Zhongxian laughed.
"Zhang Xingchen, you should take Sun Yunhe back to report immediately. If the Emperor asks about me, just say I'm sick and can't go anywhere."
After Wei Zhengxian finished speaking, Wei Zhongxian walked forward, which infuriated Zhang Xingchen.
Good heavens, Wei Zhongxian finally lied about this, saying he was sick, but he's still full of energy and walking into the courtyard, which Zhang Xingchen wouldn't allow.
"Men of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, quickly help me hold back Wei Zhongxian, don't let this old fellow escape."
As soon as Zhang Xingchen finished speaking, several experts rushed out from the Imperial Guards, each carrying various kinds of weapons.
But Wei Zhongxian didn't care at all; he always had a smile on his face.
"Zhang Xingchen, what's wrong? Do you guys want to rebel or something? Or do you want to come with me to meet the Empress Dowager? I really don't know, Zhang Xingchen, has your brain gotten waterlogged?"
"The more you make a big fuss about this, the more difficult it will be for the Emperor in the end." Wei Zhongxian finally said what he meant.
That's right. If this continues, the one who will be most embarrassed and helpless will still be the Emperor. No one can deliver a fatal blow to the Empress Dowager.
Zhang Xingchen was a reckless man, and naturally he refused to listen to Wei Zhongxian's words. These experts then forcibly took Wei Zhongxian away.
But no, Sun Yunhe, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes, which were already red.
Looking like a wild beast, Sun Yunhe simply swung his arms indifferently, and the ropes that had been binding him were now broken.
This bizarre scene immediately startled everyone present.
In particular, Zhang Xingchen finally came to his senses and realized why Wei Zhongxian had handed Sun Yunhe over to him. It turned out that this was a premeditated act. The rope on Sun Yunhe's body was just an ordinary rope.
For people in the martial arts world, such a life is nothing more than a matter of moving a finger, and can be easily destroyed.
"Wei Zhongxian, you are despicable! You are defying the imperial edict, do you know that? Have you thought about the consequences? The Empress Dowager can live a few more years. Don't you have any conscience?"
Zhang Xingchen's words to Wei Zhongxian were meant to provoke Wei Zhongxian's anger.
“Lord Wei Zhongxian, since you refuse to leave, I will offend the Emperor’s mission, which I must complete.”
Zhang Xingchen said very indifferently, clearly indicating that he was about to completely break ties with Wei Zhongxian.
Wei Zhongxian smiled slightly, and Sun Yunhe strode towards Zhang Xingchen: "Lord Zhang Xingchen, as the leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, I've heard that your martial arts skills are quite impressive."
"It's a pity we've never had the chance to spar with each other. Today is a rare opportunity." Sun Yunhe finished speaking and rolled up his official robes.
This was practically a provocative attitude. However, although Zhang Xingchen was a reckless man, he was not one to disregard the seriousness of the situation. Zhang Xingchen knew that now was definitely not the time to stall for time.
Let's take Wei Zhongxian away first. Even if the Empress Dowager realizes what's going on, the Emperor will probably use some of his own methods to make Wei Zhongxian confess to the assassination attempt on him years ago.
As long as there is evidence, even if the Empress Dowager is behind Wei Zhongxian, so what? Good heavens, someone actually dared to assassinate the Emperor.
Moreover, the servant was still hiding in Wei Zhongxian's house, which was quite ridiculous. Zhang Xingchen sighed helplessly and ran directly towards Wei Zhongxian's location.
The most regrettable thing is Sun Yunhe. As a master with excellent martial arts skills, Sun Yunhe started to move as soon as Zhang Xingchen moved.
The two men pounced on Wei Zhongxian at the same time. At that moment, the muscles on Wei Zhongxian's cheeks were trembling uncontrollably.
