Chapter 49: Frame-up
He was also very curious about how these killers got in. If they really broke in, they would not have been discovered until late at night.
He also agreed with the statement that there was someone to pick him up.
Ye Chenyuan's words attracted many people's agreement, and they all believed that this matter could not be delayed.
Emperor Gan was in a dilemma at this moment, and the frown on his brow was enough to prove that he was very upset.
Rong Yu was waiting to see the show, making such a big fuss, just to see how this dog emperor would end up.
Ye Chenyin had obviously guessed something and now wanted to embarrass him.
Rong Yu guessed that the drugged butterfly cake was sent by Ye Chenyin in order to appear at the right time. Anyway, he and Ye Chenyuan had both been drinking, so he needed an excuse.
It's really hard for him. The drug was very strong and he was fucked hard for two hours. Now he has to pretend nothing happened.
Ye Chenyin wanted him to have a good rest, but how could he miss such a big event?
Let's see how this old man ends up.
"Father, these assassins are all carrying poison. If they are sent to the Ministry of Justice, they may not even be able to wait for trial."
Failure to complete the mission is a capital crime and means death anyway, so they would definitely prefer to commit suicide by taking poison rather than go back to accept punishment.
If they had just come in on their own and been sent to the Ministry of Justice, it would have been fine, and if they died, they died. But now, I suspect that someone had colluded with them and let them in, so I can't just leave them alone.
Now that they are in public, I don’t think they will take any more action.
Emperor Gan was helpless. His own son insisted on going against him, and if he continued to insist, it might arouse suspicion.
"Prince Jing, they are all killers. How can you make them speak?"
"Please allow me to go forward and ask questions." Ye Chenyin said coldly.
Emperor Gan couldn't hide his disgust and nodded.
Ye Chenyin stepped forward and came in front of the killer.
A condescending feeling of oppression instantly hit him. He said in a cold and ruthless manner, "I know you are not afraid of death, but if you had the chance, would you still choose death?"
Everyone looked at each other, wondering what this meant.
Their fate has already been determined, so how can they have any choice?
Ye Chenyin pulled out a white medicine bottle from his sleeve and said, "This king knows that you are deeply poisoned. This is the antidote pill that I specially asked the people in Medicine King Valley to prepare. If you tell me everything, this king will spare your lives."
"If not..."
Ye Chenyin slowly leaned over and whispered in their ears, "The poison takes effect, the pain that gnaws at your bones. You should all be well aware of this. Whether you live or die is your own decision."
Emperor Gan felt like he was being fried in oil at this moment and was extremely uncomfortable.
If Ye Chenyin really found out something, then he, the emperor, would be completely embarrassed.
If the news got out that he had teamed up with a gangster killer to kill his own son, it would probably cause public outrage and he would be forced to step down.
"What is Ye Chenyin doing?" Rong Yu couldn't suppress his curiosity.
Shouldn't he speak out loudly and let everyone see the face of their Majesty? Why hasn't he said anything yet?
After a moment, Ye Chenyin stood up and returned to Emperor Gan and said, "They said it was ordered by King Xiang Ye Chenming."
There was an uproar. How could the King of Xiang, even after being demoted to a commoner, still harbor such vicious thoughts? He really hadn't changed his bad habits.
Wu Pingting stepped forward to defend her son, falling to her knees and saying, "Your Majesty, Ming'er has repented and would never do such a treasonous act again. It couldn't have been him. Someone must have framed him."
Ming'er was imprisoned in the palace, unable to contact the outside world, let alone the Rakshasa Hall. Although she couldn't figure out who wanted to use Ming'er's name to kill His Majesty, she knew that this time it was Ming'er who was coming, and that person wanted Ming'er dead.
"Who is framing? Who is setting up the case? Concubine Wu, is it necessary to frame someone in the name of King Xiang? He is the only one who knows how to contact Luosha Hall. Could it be that all his past actions were framed?" Ye Chenyuan said.
Ye Chenming's wolfish ambitions have now fallen from power, and it is unknown whether he will want to fight hard. After all, if this succeeds, he will be above thousands of people, and the temptation is enough to forget the consequences of failure.
"Ming'er has already cut off contact with the outside world. I don't need to explain the purpose of the Luosha Hall's cooperation. Even if Ming'er has contact with them, how can they enter the heavily guarded Spring Examination? Does the King of Yan really believe that their skills are enough to reach His Majesty without alerting a single soldier?"
No matter how powerful these killers are, it is impossible for them to kill more than 5,000 well-trained soldiers at once. Moreover, there are 5,000 National Protection Army soldiers on the periphery, and 500 Imperial Guards soldiers on the inner periphery. Even if we ignore the National Protection Army soldiers, what about the Imperial Guards soldiers? They were trained by Tao Yi himself, so how could they be so vulnerable?
"I'm afraid Concubine Wu has forgotten that they sneaked into the palace a few days ago to poison my father and mother. The palace is heavily guarded, but they can come and go freely." Ye Chenyin said lightly.
Wu Pingting was speechless for a moment. She was also suspicious when she sneaked into the palace, but at that time she only wanted to get rid of Rongyu and did not investigate further. Now it seems that it was a trap set by someone.
"It is inevitable that the King of Xiang will rebound and fight to the death. After all, the winner will take over the world. Your Majesty should not be soft-hearted anymore." Prime Minister Wen bowed.
Emperor Gan glanced at Ye Chenyin with mixed feelings. What did he mean?
Even if the real mastermind is not revealed, since the matter has nothing to do with the King of Xiang, why would the King of Jing say that it was the King of Xiang who ordered it? Could it be revenge?
But since he was given a way out, he wasn't ungrateful.
"Orders are being passed. Ye Chenming has shown no remorse and has colluded with assassins to assassinate the king. He is sentenced to immediate execution and will be imprisoned and executed in the autumn."
Wu Pingting collapsed to the ground, sobbing silently.
It’s over, everything is over. All the planning for half a lifetime is in vain.
The most ridiculous thing is that the man in front of him didn't have any father-son affection at all. A few provocative words made him order the killing of his own flesh and blood.
"Your Majesty, he is your flesh and blood!" Wu Pingting roared, looking up and staring fiercely at the man in front of her.
Emperor Gan looked troubled, but only for a moment: "When he killed the king, did he ever consider that I was his father?"
This dog emperor is really too shameless. When he wanted to kill his own son, did he ever think that even a tiger would not eat its own cubs? Now he is saying this again?
Emperor Gan no longer looked at Wu Pingting. He maintained a calm and disappointed expression on his face, but the panic and anger in his heart made him want to tear Ye Chenyin to pieces.
The plan he had painstakingly set up was just to be hastily concluded? The most crucial thing was that Ye Chenyin still had the final say in controlling the rhythm.
Ye Chenyin had really underestimated him before. He was able to control the King of Yan's clear mind about right and wrong, as well as the ministers' concerns about the situation. His Tai Chi skills were truly perfect.
He glanced at Song Mei'an calmly. How could he not be suspicious of such meticulous thoughts?
"Rakshasa Hall treats human life like an ant. They deserve death. Kill them."
No one objected to this verdict.
Emperor Gan was about to turn and walk back to the tent when he heard Ye Chenmu say, "Father, these assassins certainly deserve death, but if Luoshatang is not eliminated, such a situation is likely to occur here. For your safety, and for the sake of the country, I beg you to allow me to keep them. Let them atone for their crimes and help the court destroy such an evil organization as Luoshatang. I am willing to lead the troops to encircle and suppress them personally."
Ye Chenyin's words were met with a lot of agreement. After all, the Luosha Hall didn't care who they killed. If they ever pointed their spearhead at him, he wouldn't be able to escape their swords.
I thought the matter was over and Emperor Gan was going back to his tent to rest, but this Ye Chenyin was so arrogant that he insisted on going against him?
Emperor Gan narrowed his eyes and looked at the frank Ye Chenyin, wondering what he wanted to do.
If he really gave the person to him, wouldn't he be in a passive position again?
If we don't give it to them, the demonic existence of Rakshasa Hall must be eliminated, not to mention that someone has said this now.
It is a dilemma whether to give or not.
Emperor Gan was frantically searching for a win-win solution in his mind.
At this moment, Song Mei'an spoke, making Emperor Gan even angrier.
"Your Majesty, King Jing's words make sense. Luosha Hall is an existence that is intolerable to heaven. Countless innocent people have died at its hands. If it is not eliminated, it will only cause disaster. Please allow me, Your Majesty."
As soon as he finished speaking, the words "I second this" entered his ears.
Emperor Gan felt like his head was about to explode. This was the first time that something happened that he, the supreme ruler of the world, could not control.
Wang Ruomu and Xu Yingying looked silently at Emperor Gan who was in a dilemma. They should have the same thoughts in their minds at this moment.
They don't care about what happens to Emperor Gan, nor do they care about the future of Luosha Hall. As long as Song Mei'an is not involved, everything will be fine.
Rong Yu didn't expect that after traveling through a book, she would see such complicated love lines, and all of them were people related to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, eliminate the worries and ensure the legitimacy of the country." Prime Minister Wen said.
The fact that they were able to easily enter the palace and poison Concubine Xian and His Majesty successively shows how powerful their methods are. We must take them seriously.
Ye Chenyin knew that as long as it was a matter concerning the country, these old men would speak up, and as long as they spoke up, the emperor would have no choice but to agree.
After all, in his heart, in the hearts of the people in the court, he is a wise ruler who always cares about the world. How could he allow such a disaster like Rakshasa Hall to stay?
After everyone's words, Emperor Gan finally agreed and sent a thousand national defense troops to assist Ye Chenyin.
After everyone left, Ye Chenyin and Rongyu returned to the tent.
After standing for so long, Rong Yu's legs had already gone weak, and he had to force himself to stay together. As soon as he got to the tent, he lay down on the bed. Thinking back to everything that had just happened, Rong Yu felt that today's situation was not a trap set by Emperor Gan, but rather a trap within a trap set by Ye Chenyin.
It was just to scare his father.
Ye Chenming was no longer useful, so Emperor Gan took the opportunity of the spring hunt to get rid of Ye Chenyin, but Ye Chenyin saw through his flaw.
I used the opponent's trick against him and let him feel what it felt like to have a knife on his neck.
But how did Ye Chenyin find out? With so many assassins, only one, Yang Lin, escaped? Doesn't that seem a bit strange?
"Your Highness..."
"Zijin."
Rong Yu was about to ask when Ye Chenyuan came in and shouted.
You can't blame him. He was also curious about what had happened just now. He clearly remembered that he came to see Rongyu and found that Rongyu was not feeling well. How come he woke up in his own tent?
When he saw Rongyu, he remembered that Rongyu had just hugged him and said that he was hot. His cheeks suddenly became hot and he felt a heat in his stomach.
