It was getting dark.

The red palace lanterns were lit up in the palace, one after another, like a thick blood mist, floating above the palace.

The Zhang family's private soldiers who have been hiding in the capital for a long time are operating under this strange red light.

They accepted generous offerings from King Yan and Zhang Xutang, and at the same time sold their lives to the Zhang family. Without Zhang Xutang, Zhang Xuling could command them, without Zhang Xuling, King Yan could lead them, and even King Yan was gone. At that time, as long as Zhang Guifei could continue to supply money, they also obeyed Zhang Guifei's orders.

They are the killers with huge appetites raised by millions of taels of silver.

For them, tonight's palace change has already been planned, it's just that the time is much earlier.

At the end of Youshi, all the palace gates were checking the keys, and the last person who left the palace had disappeared into the night. Su Ting took the roster, checked the gate keys for the last time, and then led two confidantes back behind the palace gate: "close the door!"

Immediately, two imperial guards stepped forward, one of them supported the heavy gate on one side, and slowly closed the gate of the palace.

The sound of closing the palace doors resounded throughout the imperial city, and soon the imperial palace became strangely silent, isolated between heaven and earth.

A smile appeared on Su Ting's harsh face under the light—until this moment, his heart was truly relieved. Once the palace gate was unlocked, even if the fire burned him to ashes, people outside the palace would not be able to enter. Come.

He was very afraid of rebelling against such a serious crime of beheading. If he hadn't been forced to this point and had to follow suit, he would not have rebelled.

Fortunately, they had a great chance of winning - nine out of ten of the imperial guards they trusted today became members of the Zhang family. With the few people Yin Xiao brought, it would be difficult to turn things around.

He rubbed his palms on his clothes to wipe away the sweat on his palms. He restrained his smile and led people to patrol. When he patrolled outside the Wende Hall, he saw bright lights outside the Wende Hall. Yan Wang.

King Yan stood up with the support of his servants, and slowly walked out of the Wende Hall. His legs were trembling because he knelt for too long, and it took him a long time to calm down.

Walking in front of Su Ting, he stopped in his tracks: "Why isn't Su Zhi going to protect His Majesty's safety, but here to watch the king's joke?"

Su Ting took a step back, bowed his head and said, "Don't dare, I thought His Majesty was here, so I came here on purpose."

Yan Wang sneered and said: "Your Majesty hates me, why would you stay here, now that you have gone to Yanfu Palace, can the palace gate be given the key?"

Su stopped and nodded.

"It's so late, it's inconvenient for me to go to the harem, and I also went outside Yanfu Palace to wait for His Majesty's message. Su Zhi still quickly brought people to guard."

Su Ting nodded in agreement, respectfully sent King Yan away, walked a few steps by himself, saw no one around, and said to the people around him: "I am in Yanfu Palace today, go and tell everyone to surround Yanfu Palace."

"Yes."

Just as Su Ting was about to take a step, he heard Li Changfeng shout behind him: "Deputy Su, wait for me."

Su Ting's heart rose to his throat in an instant, he stopped stiffly, turned around, and looked at Li Changfeng.

Li Changfeng ran over quickly: "Is the roster in your possession? It must be returned to the value room."

Su Ting nodded, with a little sweat on his forehead, he took out the roster from his pocket and handed it to Li Changfeng: "I was busy and forgot."

Li Changfeng took it in his hand, and said with a smile, "Those who can do more work, I'll go first."

He came fast, went fast, and soon disappeared.

Su Ting frowned, and continued to walk towards Yanfu Palace. Halfway through, he saw a private soldier of the Zhang family walking out. He looked around, apparently not knowing where Yanfu Palace was.

Just as he was about to step forward, a servant hurried over with a lantern, and he quickly stepped back to hide his figure.

The servant yelled at the private soldier: "Which team are you from, why are you wandering here alone?"

The private soldier immediately stopped in his tracks: "I feel sick to my stomach, and I want convenience."

The servant pointed behind him: "Go the wrong way, what are you running around? If you break into the harem, you will be in serious trouble. Even the imperial army can't enter the harem."

"Oh, good." The private soldier took two steps back.

The servant muttered and walked a few steps, feeling something was wrong while walking, suddenly stopped, turned around with the lantern in his hand, and walked towards the position of the imperial guard just now, but he didn't see anyone, and before he stepped forward to look for it, he Suddenly, a hand stretched out from behind, firmly covered his mouth and nose, took him down to the ground, and dragged him into the flowers.

After a while, the servant stopped struggling, and two private soldiers came out carrying the corpse from the flowers. Under Su Ting's silent command, they threw it into the well without even splashing water.

Su Ting continued to direct people to report the letter, and according to Zhang Xutang's arrangement, four people were left guarding outside each palace.

Once there was a mutiny, the huge servants in the palace gathered together would be a force that should not be underestimated. As long as any servants left the palace, they would kill them directly.

After making arrangements, he strode out of Yanfu Palace.

Yanfu Palace is a temporary palace. It turned out that when the imperial palace was not big, Yanfu Palace was outside the palace. Later, when the imperial palace was expanded, Yanfu Palace was included.

Therefore, Yanfu Palace itself has two palace gates, East Gate Chenhui and Ximen Lize.

Today, only the east gate is used, so guarding the imperial guards, servants, Liaozi and others are all at the east gate, and there are only four imperial guards at the west gate, and two servants are here.

As soon as Su Ting arrived, he immediately controlled these people, locked them together in Ximen Asi's room, and replaced Zhang's private soldiers to guard the door.

The six people looked at King Yan, then at Su Ting, and then at the people Su Ting brought, all of them were a little confused. One of the imperial guards reacted and realized that it was a palace change. Just as he was about to issue a warning, he asked Su Ting Stop choking the neck and die on the spot.

The rest of the people couldn't help shaking.

Su Ting didn't want to see blood at this time, and ordered his subordinates to deal with these people patiently, and turned to look at King Yan: "Prince Jin is also in Yanfu Palace?"

King Yan nodded. King Jin was supposed to leave the palace. He was the one who forcibly blocked the palace gate in the name of asking King Jin to intercede for him, and pulled King Jin's trouser leg to let him stay.

Only when King Jin stays, can they have a scapegoat—after the fourth watch, when the palace gates are opened, the courtiers will see that it was King Jin who committed a rebellion and killed Jinshang, while King Yan overcame all difficulties and killed King Jin, a rebellious official thief.

Everything went well, but King Yan was not at peace.

Ever since Zhang Xutang came back from Zhouqiao Zhengdian, he has been in chaos. The so-called truth was like a storm, which beat him up and down.

King Yan couldn't sit still, he stood up and walked around the ground: "Why don't you make a move?"

Su Ting replied: "Do it in Zishi."

At this moment, all the lights in Yanfu Palace were still lit, and they would be a living target if they entered right now.

King Yan couldn't hold his breath: "We have so many people, what are we afraid of?"

"No matter how many of us there are, there are no more than thousands of troops." Su Ting had to admit Yin Xiao's combat effectiveness, "We can only act in secret, and first remove Yin Xiao from Jinshang's side."

With one less Yin Xiao, Jin Shang and King Jin are the softshells in the jar.
