C460 Home Raid
As night fell, the officials who were afraid to send out assassins came to the imperial prison of Great Zhou Dynasty. This imperial prison was located at the edge of the Imperial City. At this moment, Lin Rann was standing on the roof of the imperial prison, watching some people dressed in black clothes slowly sneak into the imperial prison. Lin Rann smiled. He had already expected this. These guys would definitely come and kill those officials who were captured by Su Xin, but Lin Rann never thought of it. These people were so stupid.1
Because Lin Rann had never intended to save those officials who had committed crimes. After these assassins killed these officials, they actually walked towards the residences of those officials. This was something that Lin Rann had never expected. Wasn't this to give Lin Rann something to use against him? Lin Rann saw that these assassins didn't come out after entering the residences of the officials. He hurriedly returned to the Imperial Palace and told Su Xin about this news.
After Su Xin heard the news that Lin Rann brought back, she also did not dare to believe that these people were actually so stupid. But since the evidence was delivered to her, Su Xin naturally could not let him go. She immediately gave Lin Rann 1,000 Imperial Guards and asked Lin Rann to lead the Imperial Guards to raid the homes of those officials.
Lin Rann led 1,000 Imperial Guards and quickly arrived in front of an official's mansion. When the servant of the official saw Lin Rann's menacing manner, he hurriedly reported this matter to the official. The official had no idea what Lin Rann was trying to do with the soldiers in front of his mansion.
"Lin Rann, how dare you intrude my mansion without permission? I must report this matter to His Majesty. You are rebelling. Don't tell me the Great Zhou Dynasty doesn't have any laws? I can't believe that you are allowed to hold such a high position. "
"Lord Chen, now is not the time for you to talk about these things. I have received a report that you have violated the Imperial Court by secretly assassinating them. Don't you know what Lord Chen wants to explain?"
After hearing Lin Rann's words, Lord Chen's facial expression changed dramatically. How did this Lin Rann know that he had sent assassins to kill those captured ministers?
"Lin Rann, you need to speak nonsense here. I, Chen, am a man with a big heart. Why would the Zhou Dynasty do such a law-breaking thing? I think you are the one who wanted to frame me. I'm going to see His Majesty now and ask His Majesty to punish you for your crimes. "
"Lord Chen, you don't have to do this. His Majesty sent us here. His Majesty Sun has ordered us to search your mansion. Master Cheng, please don't stop us here. Or else, according to His Majesty's decree, anyone who dares to stop us will be executed without mercy. "
When Lord Chen heard Lin Rann's words, his facial expression changed dramatically, but he didn't dare to stop Lin Rann. He knew that with Lin Rann's temper, he would really follow Su Xin's will. If he dared to stop Lin Rann, he would definitely kill ___.
"I, Chen, have always done things with indomitable spirit. Even if you, Lin Rann, have deceived me with your flowery words, even if His Majesty wants to collect my mansion, so what? I, Chen, will not do anything wrong. I am not afraid of ghosts knocking on my door."
After Lin Rann heard Lord Chen's words, he smiled and didn't say anything. He brought 1,000 Imperial Guards into Lord Chen's residence, and it only took them half an hour. Lin Rann had searched the entire mansion, but he still couldn't find the assassins who were wearing night clothes last night. However, Lin Rann didn't give up just like that.
Lin Rann had personally witnessed the assassins in night clothes walk into Lord Chen's mansion. So, there must be a secret chamber hidden in this mansion. Lin Rann sent out his senses and quickly found another unusual place. There was a pool in the center of the mansion. This time, the pool was filled with stagnant water. This pool of stagnant water in the summer had attracted a lot of mosquitoes. It seemed like this Lord Chen was really able to endure it.
"Someone, help me get rid of all the water in this pool. Also, find some shovels and other things. Dig this pool open for me. Today, I will dig three feet into the ground."
When Lord Chen heard Lin Rann's words, he hurriedly blocked in front of the soldiers. Lin Rann could tell with one look that this was a pool. There must be a problem.
"Lin Rann, what exactly do you want? It's fine if you want to search my mansion, but you still want to destroy my mansion. If you don't give me an explanation today, I won't let this matter go so easily."
When Lin Rann heard Lord Chen's words, he smiled and waved his hand. The two Imperial Guards put on airs and left. Lin Rann watched as the Imperial Guards slowly extracted the water from the pond. Then, they came in front of Lord Chen.
"Do you want to know why? I'm so sure that there are assassins in your mansion. You idiots... Last night, you actually sent people to kill those intruders, but you didn't know that I was on the roof of the Imperial Prison. I followed the assassins you sent to your mansion. "
After hearing Lin Rann's words, Lord Chen's eyes widened. He had never thought that yesterday's incident would be exposed, but Lord Chen still remained silent. He wanted to muddle his way through, but Lin Rann wouldn't give them the chance.
"Lord Chen, are you stupid or are you stupid? Don't you want to know what kind of old foxes those people who often work with you are? They didn't hide assassins in their own homes like you did. I've been investigating for a long time. Besides the assassins in your homes, there are no assassins in the other lords' residences. It seems like Lord Chen is the chess piece they threw out."
Hearing Lin Rann's words, Lord Chen's facial expression finally changed. He recalled everything that happened when Lin Rann arrived in front of his mansion. In his heart, he had already believed what Lin Rann said. However, it wasn't anyone else who had taken precautions. It was impossible for Lin Rann to rush into his mansion.
Seeing Lord Chen's facial expression change, Lin Rann smiled. He had specially picked a soft persimmon to make him rise up in poverty. He had been living a poor life until a few years ago when he finally had the money.
That was why Lord Chen's mind wasn't as sophisticated as the other officials. Up until now, Lord Chen was still foolish enough to believe that those people who had gotten the same benefits as him would protect him.
Under Lin Rann's command, those Imperial Army soldiers emptied the water in the pool. Then, they took some shovels and began to dig out the entire pool. At this moment, Lord Chen's expression could not help but become tense.
Lin Rann did not have the mood to care about Lord Chen at this moment. He released all of his senses. As the soil on the ground was dug up bit by bit, he soon found it. There was a spatial zone underneath the pond. The spatial zone appeared for a moment. Lin Rann's senses followed the hole and reached in.
