These mechanisms used within the residence were quite lethal, but for Liu Cong, they were too simple. In just two hours, he had repaired them all.
Taking advantage of the remaining darkness, Sang Qingxiao activated all the mechanisms, searching for people. Caught off guard, many were injured or killed, and their screams terrified the nearby residents, who huddled in their homes, afraid to venture outside.
When dawn broke the next day, curiosity drove them to cautiously open their doors. They formed groups to investigate the sounds from the previous night and were met with a shocking sight: the gates of Prince Jing's Residence stood wide open, blood and dismembered limbs scattered everywhere, painting a gruesome scene that left everyone in shock.
Upon receiving reports of the incident, several departments sprang into action before the news even reached the emperor. As they investigated, they discovered identity tags belonging to those involved, prompting further communication about the situation.
The morning court session had begun. Xuande Emperor sat wrapped in blankets on his bed. The Sang Family? How had they resurfaced again? First spies, then remnants of the previous dynasty, and now this—another incident involving the Sang Family that resulted in a massacre. Were they trying to intimidate him?
He was not easily frightened; he was not afraid!
Cai Zhuo served at his side, observing Xuande Emperor's tightly wrapped figure and inwardly scoffing at his fear. Why tremble if you weren't scared?
As court time approached and the emperor still did not rise, Cai Zhuo urged him gently. Perhaps this matter had nothing to do with the Sang Family; reports from various departments indicated that the deceased were all guards from different nations.
Lately, those in Jingjing City had grown overly arrogant. It was possible someone could no longer tolerate them and decided to send a warning.
Xuande Emperor shot him a glare. Just because you say it isn’t related to the Sang Family doesn’t make it true!
Your Majesty, if there are still four members of the Sang Family left, they are all in Exile Land at Vulture Ridge. That place is harsh and filled with rogues; no one has ever returned after entering.
This reminder improved Xuande Emperor's mood somewhat, but then he became angry again. To kill so many in one night could not have been done by nameless individuals; their methods must be formidable. If such a person could infiltrate without detection by The Office of Censors or Dragon Guard, how could he feel secure?!
At that moment, someone outside knelt to request an audience. After much hesitation, Xuande Emperor finally agreed.
Appearing listless before his ministers while they seemed lively and spirited only fueled his frustration. He snapped at them, "What are you all doing while such a major incident occurs in Jingjing City?!"
Qi Xiaomian stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, we have clarified the case regarding the former site of the rebel king."
Clarified? So quickly?
Xuande Emperor was skeptical.
Qi Xiaomian explained that this case was quite straightforward. Diplomats from various nations had inexplicably taken an interest in the former site of the rebel king and sent numerous personnel to investigate late at night. Their thoroughness caused too much noise and inadvertently triggered old mechanisms within the royal residence. These mechanisms were indeed deadly and resulted in numerous casualties.
Ultimately, this incident stemmed from some individuals acting recklessly and overstepping their bounds.
Is it really like this?
Xuande Emperor was astonished but still unconvinced.
Your Majesty, this conclusion comes from several departments working together. Some mechanisms have already been activated and are now exposed above ground; the wounds on the deceased perfectly match those caused by them.
