C111 The Man in Black(2)

The accompanying eunuch wanted to shout: "The Emperor has arrived!" The Emperor waved his hand and cut off the imperial character that the person had just said. The Court of Judicial Review still did not move and was immersed in a pile of official documents. Until the Emperor walked in front of the desk, a shadow pressed down. The official of the Court of Judicial Review slowly raised his head. He saw the Emperor wearing a dragon robe and Scholar Liu behind him. He almost fell down from his chair and hurriedly bowed: "The Emperor did not welcome you from afar, please forgive him."

"Respected Minister, please excuse me. It was because Zhen saw that you were busy with the case that he did not let this servant inform you." They exchanged some pleasantries. This was the first time he came to investigate, but he did not expect that this person was really honest. He didn't slack off at all. It seemed like he would have to put this person in an even more important position in the future. Having made up his mind, he continued in an amiable manner, "Beloved minister, bring Zhen to meet the assassin at the banquet."

"This lowly subject obeys the decree!" Standing up, he bent his waist and smiled, "The Emperor invites over here!" Exiting the main hall, he brought the Emperor to the dungeon.

The dungeon of the Court of Judicial Review was much more spacious than the dungeons in other places. There weren't many prisoners, so it was especially empty. When the Emperor walked into the dungeons, he first felt a wave of turbid air assaulting him. Frowning, he reached out and fanned himself in front of him.

"Your Majesty, this way please!" The Court of Judicial Review must have frequently come to this kind of place, so they did not feel any discomfort towards the turbid air inside.

The interior was airtight, and only some lamps were lit, barely able to support the line of sight. The Court of Judicial Review opened another iron prison door and stepped in. They saw the two prison guards who were bored to death drunk. No one expected the Emperor to come back at this time. No one informed him. He was still happily waving his fists. If he knew that the Emperor had come... Even if they had ten guts, they wouldn't dare to be so impudent.

"You lost! Ha!" A prison soldier stood on a stool and pointed happily at the person opposite him.

The person opposite drank the wine in large gulps. He rolled up his sleeves and put his feet on the stool and shouted, "Again!"

Clearly, the Court of Judicial Review did not know that there was actually such a situation inside. He hurriedly knelt on the ground and apologized: "Forgive the Emperor!"

"Get up!" Although the Emperor's expression was not good, he did not have anything to punish the Court of Judicial Review. He walked past the Court of Judicial Review and entered the cell. The two prison guards were drunk and their eyes were blurry. They saw the Emperor wearing a dragon robe. First, they wiped their eyes, then they wiped their eyes in disbelief. Their gaze did not leave the Emperor as they said: "Why did I see the Emperor?"

He replied with a smile, "I said you were drunk and you still don't believe me! Why didn't I see it?" It could be seen that he was drunk even more than him and could not even see the person.

The Court of Judicial Review hurriedly stepped forward and berated loudly, "Impudent! Kneel down!"

Startled by this loud shout, half of the wine had also woken up. Seeing that the people who came were really the Emperor and the Court of Judicial Review, the two of them went limp. Begging for mercy. The Emperor did not bother with the two prison guards and only gave Scholar Liu a hand signal. Scholar Liu very much wanted someone to deal with the two of them.

He could only blame his own life for being unlucky. He drank the wine this time and even caught them red-handed, losing his life. The Court of Judicial Review still had some lingering fear. Fortunately, the Emperor did not blame him, or else he would not have had a good ending.

He asked someone to bring the assassin from the prison to the interrogation room. At that time, the Emperor was already sitting there waiting. The assassin had clearly been beaten up and interrogated. His clothes were still stained with blood. He was not as confident as he was when he first saw him. After staying in the Court of Judicial Review for a day, he would be able to change a person's appearance, not to mention that he had gone through a few rounds of torture. As long as he didn't kill the person, everything would be fine.

"Reporting to the Emperor, this lowly official had interrogated this person but he did not confess anything and only said that he was here to admire the Pearl of the White Jade Flower." The Court of Judicial Review quickly explained the injuries on his body.

The Emperor did not speak and waved his hand to let the unrelated people wait outside, including the Court of Judicial Review. Now, the Emperor, Scholar Liu, and the assassin were left behind. Scholar Liu went forward to loosen the rope for him and that person knelt in front of the Emperor and said: "Forgive the Emperor for not being able to complete the task given by the Emperor. Requesting punishment from the Emperor!"

The assassin was actually the Emperor's person. This time, the Court of Judicial Review should not have any good results, right? Without the Emperor's order, he actually dared to torture him.

"Get up! Zhen knows that you will not have the chance to do it. Zhen also did not expect that the pearl would actually be able to emit light as bright as day." He had no intention of blaming him.

"Minister Liu will arrange for you to leave this place. After that, you will quietly stay in the Prime Minister's residence. I will always report if there are any movements in the Prime Minister's residence."

"Yes! This subordinate obeys the decree."

"If you have any intention of rebelling, kill without mercy!" The Emperor's eyes became sharp and fierce.

After the Emperor's group left, the Court of Judicial Review. Of course, they also took away this assassin and let an innocent person die in a cell. After that, their fate would be to be a mass grave, or to feed the wolves.

The Court of Judicial Review was still wondering why the Emperor died the moment he arrived. And he didn't even use the torture instruments in the cell. He didn't dare to think too much about it. Who asked him to be the Emperor? That was why it was said that the Court of Judicial Review was straightforward and only the Emperor obeyed. After respectfully sending the emperor and Scholar Liu out of the Court of Judicial Review, he went to the prison cell and found out that the person who died wasn't an assassin. Although it was a disguise, it was still discovered by the attentive officials of the Court of Judicial Review. He did not dare to say anything and only ordered people to quickly pull him out. He naturally felt some fear and fear in his heart because of this matter. This Emperor was very shrewd.

Only Premier Wang still didn't understand how profound this Emperor's shrewdness was. He estimated that by the time he understood it, he would have already died. He only thought that he was still the Emperor who didn't have any schemes and listened to his words. When I listened to you, it was because your Imperial Residence was the strongest. He was highly respected in the Imperial Court, so he had no choice but to play dumb. Now, even Lyi Xuanzhi was not worthy of his attention. Knowing too much is a mental illness in the emperor's heart at the end of the day. As long as the Prime Minister did not die, the Emperor would always be wary of Lyi Xuanzhi. One day, Lyi Xuanzhi would remember everything.

And only when one died would the secret not be leaked...
