Chapter 2 Another Death
Su Xing was becoming more and more confused. What on earth was this Regent up to?
There’s no way Ye Linghan didn’t know the details of what happened yesterday, so why was he still asking?
Do I want him to say it again in person?
Aren’t you afraid of getting your ears dirty?
Besides, even if Ye Linghan dared to listen, he wouldn't dare to say it...
What should I do?
Su Xing was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
"What?" The cold voice came again, a little deeper than before: "Don't remember?"
Su Xing's tall and thin body trembled, and he quickly leaned over and kowtowed: "Prince Regent, please calm down! I... I really don't dare to say..."
Even if he dared, he couldn't say it...
He doesn't like men. This is not only a problem of courage, but also a psychological problem!
"How dare you not say it!" Ye Linghan's anger appeared without any sign: "Then I will find someone to help you say it!"
Su Xing was shocked all over. Before he could react to what Ye Linghan meant, he saw the two guards who had arrested him bringing in another person. After entering the room, they threw the person directly to the ground.
The man was thrown right next to him, like a puddle of mud, and lay motionless after landing.
Reason told Su Xing not to look, but he couldn't control himself...
The moment their eyes met, he got goosebumps all over his body.
What on earth did this person go through?
His entire body was stained with blood, the original color of his clothes could no longer be seen, and his hands and feet were twisted at strange angles.
According to his medical knowledge, this man's hands and feet were all broken...
The most terrifying thing is the face. It looks like it has been soaked in water for too long, and the facial features are swollen and blurred.
Fortunately, Su Xing was used to seeing corpses, and was more shocked than afraid.
Instead, he tried hard to identify the man for a long time, and when he recognized the man's identity, he was so scared that he stepped back a long way.
That person turned out to be Mr. Song who drank with Mr. Caobao yesterday. His family was also an official...
Even the people who drank with him were tortured like this, then he...
Su Xing's mind went blank for a moment, and he stared at Master Song for a long time. Suddenly, like a lit firecracker, he jumped up from the ground, turned around and ran!
But where did he run to? Before he could even take a step, he was stopped by two figures like a solid wall: "How dare you!"
This angry shout brought Su Xing back to his senses instantly. He looked at the guard in front of him, then looked down at his foot which was halfway raised but had not yet landed on the ground. Only then did he realize what a stupid thing he had just done...
He actually wanted to escape? Is he crazy?
The living room fell into a deathly silence. There was no sound at all, just like the silence before death...
After an unknown amount of time, Su Xing suddenly turned around with his fists clenched, with a tragic expression, as if he was about to die.
He looked straight at Ye Linghan, his voice trembling but his words clear: "Regent, what happened yesterday was all my fault. It has nothing to do with others. Please forgive those who are not involved and punish me!"
Ye Linghan still had that icy expression, but a barely perceptible strange color flashed in his deep black eyes.
His ears could not help but echo with the details of the useless Su Xing that the guards had reported yesterday.
But it seems that it doesn't match the person in front of me...
Although I looked like a loser when I first entered the door, and also when I escaped, but now...
Is it a game of hard to get? Or is it really that great?
Su Xing is certainly not that great, but he is not playing hard to get either.
He just thought that since he couldn't escape anyway, why bother involving others?
He is a man after all, he wouldn't do such a heinous thing!
"Okay... then I'll grant your wish." Ye Linghan narrowed his eyes, looked at Su Xing and slowly said: "Come here..."
Although Su Xing was well prepared, his heart still started beating uncontrollably when he heard Ye Linghan's order.
At the same time, the previous unwillingness came to my mind again, and in addition to the unwillingness, there was also a deep sense of grievance.
He suddenly wanted to fight for it again: "Prince Regent, I have indeed made an unforgivable mistake, but it was really unintentional. If you can forgive me, I will go through fire and water to repay you!"
Ye Linghan hated being interrupted the most, and his handsome face suddenly darkened, but Su Xing's words seemed to arouse his interest.
"Repay? What can you do for me?" As he spoke, a faint curve appeared at the corner of Ye Linghan's mouth.
Everyone was stunned, especially Ye Linghan's guards, who looked as if they had seen something incredible.
Their master actually laughed?
Even though it was a sarcastic laugh, it was still a laugh!
How is this possible! They have followed their master for many years and have never seen this before!
The next moment, they all unconsciously turned their gazes to Su Xing.
But Su Xing was confused...
Yes, what can he do for Ye Linghan?
He is the regent, second only to the emperor. In fact, he has the final say in the Ye Kingdom.
What can he, a newcomer and a playboy with a reputation as a idiot, do for others?
The reception room fell silent again. The expressions of those who looked at Su Xing gradually changed from surprise to contempt...
Su Xing was originally thin-skinned, and he became embarrassed when he saw this, and even forgot his fear temporarily.
Just as he was desperately trying to break the awkwardness, footsteps were heard outside the door again, and very hurriedly.
"Your humble servant greets the Regent!" The man was wearing official uniform and had his head lowered so that his appearance could not be seen clearly. He knelt on the ground as soon as he entered the door.
Ye Linghan frowned when he saw the person coming, and his tone was very impatient, as if he was interrupted and asked unhappily: "What's the matter?"
"Your Highness..." The man's voice was trembling, and a little panicked: "Another...another one died..."
Ye Linghan's eyes narrowed, and the air around them suddenly seemed to be frozen, and everyone shivered unconsciously.
"What!" Ye Linghan leaned forward slightly, his eyes were so terrifying that he looked like he wanted to eat someone.
No one dared to say a word, not even to breathe.
"Who?" Ye Linghan's voice was so low, as if it was mixed with ice.
The visitor was so frightened that his head almost went into his stomach, and his voice trembled even more: "Yes, it's the Minister of Rites..."
"Asshole!"
Ye Linghan slapped the coffee table next to him, and it immediately broke into pieces, shattering all over the floor...
Before Su Xing could figure out what they were talking about, he was startled by the sound of the coffee table breaking.
But this scare actually brought him some benefits.
The file that was originally on the coffee table happened to fall in front of him, and he subconsciously read it...
"Where did you find it?" Ye Linghan had calmed down, but his expression became increasingly gloomy.
"In the bedroom of the Minister of Rites... The cause of death... is the same as that of the Minister of War..." The man raised his head and spoke, his face full of horror.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the room showed an expression of disbelief, as if to say, how is this possible?
Ye Linghan didn't say anything, but his brows were furrowed deeper and deeper...
Naturally, no one else dared to speak, and the surroundings became extremely quiet again.
"Your Highness..." A nervous but clear voice slowly sounded: "Can you let me see the body?"
