Chapter 192: Dog Emperor, what are you thinking about?
When Song Yunchu returned to the lobby, Honglian was reporting the results of the interrogation of the assassin to Jun Liluo.
"Your Majesty, this group of assassins is indeed a branch of the remnants of the Rong Kingdom. When the Rong Kingdom was destroyed, two generals successfully escaped with the remaining troops. Later, they parted ways due to disagreements. The leader of the assassins today is the deputy general under their commander Tuhelang."
"According to this person's confession, they did come for the Prime Minister today. They expected that when danger occurred, the emperor's entourage would immediately protect the emperor, so they thought it would be easier to assassinate the Prime Minister than the emperor. Their commander also said in person - if you want to kill the emperor, you must first get rid of Prime Minister Song."
"Foolish and arrogant." Jun Liluo sneered and then asked, "Where are their accomplices hiding?"
He could clearly sense that the Rong assassins today were different from the ones on the previous pleasure boat. The latter were obviously more loyal and brave, and would calmly accept death when their plan failed, while the former were brutal and greedy for life, frequently using civilians as shields during the fight, and did not commit suicide after being defeated. It was obvious that they were not prepared to die at all.
Different generals lead soldiers with very different personalities.
"That person said that their actions were monitored by their accomplices. If the assassination attempt failed, the accomplices would immediately move away. They were originally hiding in the back hills of the Buddhist temple on the outskirts of the city. My subordinates have already sent people over there, but they will surely come up empty-handed."
Jun Liluo was not surprised by this answer.
It is reasonable for people who have escaped a national disaster to be cautious.
"How do they know my whereabouts? Could it be that they have spies in the palace?"
Honglian said: "The leader said that they didn't know you were going out incognito today, and someone in the court passed the news to them."
"Not only that, the mysterious person who delivered the message even provided them with 30,000 taels of silver to help them purchase a lot of weapons and medicines. Unfortunately, except for their commander Tu Helang, no one else has ever seen this man's true face. I tortured them separately, and their confessions were consistent."
Jun Li Luo's eyes flashed.
He did not make public his trip today. Apart from his confidants, the only people who knew that he was not in the palace were probably the servants in and outside his bedroom and imperial study, as well as the palace maids in the imperial kitchen.
The news must have leaked out of the palace.
There are many secret guards in the palace, and he himself has martial arts skills, so it is almost impossible to attack him in the palace, but it is still possible to sneak among the servants and wait for an opportunity to spy on him. Or maybe someone around him has been bribed with a large sum of money, so he dares to reveal his whereabouts to outsiders.
"There are such people in the court who collaborate with the enemy and betray the country. They really deserve to die." Song Yunchu frowned and looked at Jun Liluo, "Your Majesty, you must thoroughly investigate the palace servants who serve you on a daily basis. Anyone with suspicious behavior must be arrested and interrogated."
[One payment is thirty thousand taels of silver. The one who can afford such wealth is most likely a royal relative.]
[Although King Gouyi plotted to seize the throne in the original novel, he did not collaborate with the enemy. The protagonists relied on winning over court officials and joining forces with the Princess of Xiling to send him to the throne. If he collaborated with the enemy, wouldn't he have become a villain? ]
[But if it wasn't him, who else would want to kill me and the dog emperor so much? He even wanted to kill the emperor by getting rid of Prime Minister Song first... He came up with such a slogan, so I am the small target and the dog emperor is the big target. ]
"I will keep an eye on the people around me."
Jun Liluo responded to Song Yunchu, then turned to ask Honglian, "How many are left alive?"
"There are six more."
"Take him to the prison of the Ministry of Justice, and parade him through the streets for execution three days later."
"yes."
After Honglian left, Song Yunchu asked Jun Liluo, "Does your majesty have any suspects?"
Jun Liluo smiled at her faintly: "It's useless to be suspicious. We need evidence."
He naturally suspected Jun Tianyi. Although Jun Tianyi was under house arrest, if he wanted to pass on information to the outside world, there would still be someone to help him do it.
But he couldn't accuse Jun Tianyi of treason without any evidence. What if there was someone else who treasoned with the enemy and Jun Tianyi took the blame, then the real culprit would disappear without a care.
He is no longer worried about what kind of waves Jun Tianyi might cause.
According to the story line of the "original work", Jiang Rumin is not only Jun Tianyi's destined person, but also a great help to his success. Jiang Rumin's defection will seriously affect Jun Tianyi's fortune, and may even make him accomplish nothing.
At the moment, it seems that Jun Tianyi has not made any progress.
On the contrary, Jiang Rumin, this Phoenix girl, was capable and courageous. After making friends with Yun Chu, she not only brought benefits to Yun Chu, but also brought glory to herself.
Jun Liluo couldn't help but think about a question——
Yun Chu said that these two were the so-called "protagonists". Obviously, Jiang Rumin's halo of a phoenix girl has always existed. Even though she had been obsessed with a despicable villain like Jun Tianyi, her good intentions had never been wiped out. It is said that those who keep company with bad people will become bad, but Jiang Rumin has never been "bad".
She was just stupid once, but her character remained the same. Compared with her, the male protagonist Jun Tianyi was really dull.
So is it possible that the protagonists are also divided into primary and secondary, Jiang Rumin is the primary, and Jun Tianyi is just the secondary? How can a male protagonist who is abandoned by the primary be able to defeat him and Yun Chu?
Thinking of this, Jun Li Luo looked at Song Yunchu with even more admiration.
Winning over Fengnu and invisibly snatching away Jun Tianyi's luck was truly a brilliant move.
Song Yunchu received his gaze and was very puzzled.
[Dog Emperor, what are you thinking about? This inexplicable look...]
[My concubine will be here soon, wait and see how I stimulate you. ]
Just as Song Yunchu was thinking this, he heard Hu Si Niang's voice coming from outside the hall.
"My lord, I made lily and pear soup for you and His Majesty."
Song Yunchu turned around and saw Hu Siniang coming in with a tray.
Hu Si Niang bowed to Jun Li Luo and placed the snow pear soup on his right hand side.
When she returned to Song Yunchu, Song Yunchu embraced her and stroked the pearl flower on her head.
"Did you buy this Begonia flower? It goes really well with your dress."
"Your Excellency has a good eye. This is the only flower on my head that I bought recently. You can see it."
"Of course." Song Yunchu said, "When dealing with someone you like, you should observe them carefully."
Upon hearing this, Hu Si Niang felt a little embarrassed and her voice became softer, "Sir, it would be better if you said this in private. Why are you saying it in front of so many people?"
Hu Si Niang acted very hard, but it was not easy.
It's so damn hard to act the role of being virtuous and shy. She even wanted to vomit.
She didn't know why Lord Song wanted to act out this scene with her, but since it was Lord's request, she had to act well.
"I am inconsiderate." Song Yunchu stroked Hu Si Niang's head and chuckled, "I will go shopping with you to pick out jewelry on the next day off."
As soon as the word "husband" came out, she noticed that Jun Li Luo's eyes seemed to twitch.
She suddenly felt in a good mood.
[What do you think, dog emperor? Are Si Niang and I a perfect match? ]
[Please be a steady monarch, treat me as a straight man, and don't try to break into my heart. ]
Jun Liluo: "..."
The traces of Hu Si Niang's acting were so obvious, could he not see it?
Yun Chu is still feeling complacent...
A talented man and a beautiful woman.
