Chapter 300 Suspect Candidate
"Saint, please speak."
"Your Majesty, do you have any doubts about the candidate in your mind?"
When Liu Rumei asked this, the emperor really had a candidate in mind.
Anyone who dared to assassinate him must not be an ordinary person.
There are only a few big families in the city, who else could it be besides them?
"Of course there are suspects, but they are of high status, so we can't just punish them directly."
Liu Rumei looked at the emperor, this was a great opportunity.
An assassination attempt gave him the opportunity to wipe out the whole group.
She smiled and suggested holding a palace banquet.
By then, she will have her own way to make everyone speak the truth.
"You don't need to invite everyone. Just invite those the emperor suspects."
The emperor was also very curious, would this really work?
But since Liu Rumei said so, I naturally have to give it a try.
The emperor wrote the list and then gave instructions to Chief Steward Wang.
"Manager Wang, go and pass on the order now, telling them to come into the palace tonight!"
Although Steward Wang didn't know what was going on, he had to obey the emperor's orders, so he hurriedly went to call for help.
Liu Rumei took a look at the people coming to the banquet in the evening and couldn't help but want to laugh.
My goodness, this emperor is too suspicious.
She thought there would be at most three or five people, but she didn't expect that there would be more than ten of them!
In addition to the six ministers, there are also several heads of large families. Does this mean they want to catch them all in one fell swoop?
The emperor was actually a little embarrassed, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that they were suspicious.
Based on the principle of better killing by mistake than letting go by mistake, they were all called over.
In fact, everyone was a little frightened. They didn't know what the emperor was up to. It must be something bad if he invited them to drink for no reason.
Last time, the emperor asked them for money and then sent their son to the battlefield...
Up to now, the sons have been gone for seven or eight days, and there is no news at all.
Anyway, every time I call them, it's definitely not good.
But they had no choice but to go, so they had to bite the bullet and enter the palace.
After some polite conversation, the emperor toasted everyone.
"Thank you for your hard work during this period. Let's drink this cup together. Don't be restrained."
The emperor has said so, if you don’t drink it, you are not giving him face.
The few people had no choice but to drink it even though they suspected the wine was poisonous.
They could only hope that the emperor would not be too impulsive and would not directly poison the wine.
In the past, they wouldn't have been so suspicious.
But it’s hard to say now. After all, he is followed by a saint, and the saint is sitting next to him.
Whenever they saw Liu Rumei, they felt pain in their backs and all over their bodies.
The emperor glanced at Liu Rumei and said, "She has already drunk the wine. What should we do now?"
The emperor was wondering if anyone would behave abnormally in a while.
For example, vomiting blood, or rolling on the ground in pain?
The emperor has a gloomy mind and his thoughts are rather extreme.
However, in reality, there was no change in the few people, except that their eyes became much clearer.
"Why are you all silent? Aren't you usually very talkative?"
When the emperor asked this, several people looked at each other, not knowing what was going on, with blank expressions.
"Your Majesty, why don't you just ask them who the killer belongs to?"
Liu Rumei's suggestion was like a thunderbolt. The emperor never thought that he would ask directly.
Is it really okay to just ask directly?
However, he is now very obedient and has great trust in Liu Rumei.
"In that case, I will ask directly. Who sent the assassin the night before yesterday?"
Hearing this, several people were stunned.
What did they just hear?
The emperor said he was assassinated?
Who is so brave!
Apart from the Lin family, is there anyone else who dares to rebel?
We have seen what happened to the Lin family, why don’t they learn from their mistakes?
"I dare not, I dare not!"
They sat on the chairs in a daze, not even kneeling down to apologize, and just kept muttering these words.
However, so many people apologized, but there was one person who did not, and remained silent.
The emperor naturally noticed this abnormality.
Oh, Yang family!
The emperor didn't expect that it was the Yang family!
"Yang Defu!"
The emperor roared, and the head of the Yang family looked panicked.
No, he couldn't let anything show!
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
He wanted to say something, but he felt his mind was not clear and he did not dare to speak.
"Master Yang, are you going to assassinate the emperor?"
When Liu Rumei asked this, she saw the head of the Yang family looking at her with resentment.
"Bitch! It's all because of you, bitch!"
Liu Rumei raised her eyebrows slightly. It seemed that he really hated her.
"you hate me?"
It would have been fine if Liu Rumei didn't say anything, but as soon as she opened her mouth she started to curse.
"Of course I hate you. I want to kill you! Hundreds of people tried to kill you, but they failed. You are really a witch!"
When the others heard this, they all turned to look at the head of the Yang family.
You dare to say anything, and even admit such a thing!
Even if you did it, you can't admit it!
"Just admit it. Assassinating His Majesty is punishable by death!"
Liu Rumei only said this one sentence, and the emperor immediately stood up.
"You Yang family are so brave, are you going to assassinate the Saint? You are here for me!"
The emperor was extremely angry.
The saint doesn't want anything in return, she just wants to help me sincerely.
But this guy actually wanted to kill the saint!
As a result, he ended up shooting himself in the foot!
Live it!
"I am wronged, I dare not!"
The head of the Yang family kept protesting his injustice, but it was of no use because the emperor had already made up his mind.
"Unjust? I don't think you are wronged at all!
Come, give me a thorough investigation, what is going on! "
When Liu Rumei heard this, she looked at the head of the Yang family.
Since we are going to interrogate you, we have to do it quickly.
In front of so many people, he asked the question directly after a few beatings.
No one expected that it was Concubine Rong!
Concubine Rong suspected that the emperor wanted to make the saint the queen, so she decided to kill her.
This is so stupid!
How could the Emperor have any romantic feelings for the Saint?
They all saw that the emperor was afraid of the saint.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, the emperor stood up quickly.
"Nonsense! This is simply ridiculous! I have nothing but respect for the Saint, how can I make random guesses!"
The emperor's heart was trembling, he was so scared.
He had seen it with his own eyes: the saint killed people without blinking an eye.
He was an emperor, but he had never killed anyone with his own hands!
This saint lady is truly no ordinary person!
"This Lady Rong is thinking too much."
Liu Rumei said so, and the emperor also thought so.
Not to mention that he had no such thoughts about the saint, even if he did, could she, a concubine, interfere?
If he takes a fancy to a girl, she will kill her. Isn't that lawless?
Because of this, such practices cannot be tolerated.
The emperor became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it. What did these women think of him?
Such calculations are not the right attitude for a king.
It's all because of my indulgence, otherwise how could she have such courage?
How could the Yang family have such courage!
