Chapter 176 The Vicious Ning Dugong 2
Ning Cuo was lazily leaning back in a large chair, his gorgeous embroidered official robes flowing around his slender figure. His dark, enchanting eyes glanced at the noisy officials, "Have you all said enough?"
This faint sound of displeasure made the entire hall instantly quiet and silent.
At this moment, everyone was feeling uneasy, and many people began to realize their fear belatedly.
They knew better than anyone that Ning's methods were cold-blooded and cruel.
It would be fine if we win this time, but if we lose, who would really not be afraid?
Many people have already begun to regret taking the initiative!
Ning Cuo didn't even bother looking at those who were frightened and bowed their heads in regret. He curled his lips, played with the ring on his finger, and said slowly, "Everyone, the arms case is of great importance. Since the emperor has asked me to investigate thoroughly, I naturally dare not slack off..."
Everyone panicked upon hearing this. They knew that Ning Ze would not let them go. But the Emperor had just left. Could it be that...
Everyone looked at Zuo Xiang and others in confusion.
The latter's expression was relatively calm, he just stared at the unscrupulous and arrogant villain sitting on the big chair in front of him.
Even if Ning Ze wants to take revenge, he can't do anything to them today without real evidence!
As long as everyone unites as one, even Governor Ning can't do anything to them!
The left prime minister gave everyone a reassuring look.
He spoke with a cold face, "Since Governor Ning has the emperor's order, just speak frankly."
Don't speak half-sentences, you're scaring people here!
Ning Cuo raised his head upon hearing this, his narrow, long, and charming eyes sweeping over the frightened crowd before landing on Zuo Xiang. With a half-smile, he said, "Don't worry, Zuo Xiang. No one will escape today!"
Everyone's faces changed when they heard this. One timid person was so scared that his legs went weak and he fell to his knees with a thump.
Zuo Xiang and others didn't care who was so embarrassed at this moment, and they all looked at Ning Cuo in shock?
What do you mean no one can escape?
Could it be that this mad dog Ning Zei has gone mad and wants to kill them just for fun because of what happened just now?
The Left Prime Minister said coldly with a pale face, "What do you mean by this, Governor Ning? I can tell you, this is the Golden Palace. Governor Ning, you must know the place clearly. If you dare to act recklessly, the Emperor will be alerted immediately..."
Ning Cuo admired the frightened group of people and laughed wickedly, "Oh~, everyone, don't panic, I misunderstood what I meant!"
Zuo Xiang and the others' faces turned pale. "If you have anything to say, please speak up quickly. If not, we will take our leave today."
Ning Cuo leaned lazily into the big chair, a smile on his lips could be described as lewd, "Everyone, please don't be anxious, come here~"
As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly countless Dongchang guards dressed in cold black clothes, wearing black masks, carrying long swords, and wearing cloaks embroidered with dark red blood lotus flowers, quickly surrounded the surrounding officials.
This made everyone who had just put their minds at ease, frightened again, their faces turned even paler than before, and cold sweat poured down their foreheads!
Moreover, this time, more than one official began to kneel down and beg for mercy.
Even the group of people who had just been so brave in criticizing Ning Cuo, now huddled together and trembled together.
The Left Prime Minister was also frightened and took a few steps back, his teeth chattering as he shouted, "Ning Cuo!"
The smile on Ning Cuo's lips remained unchanged, and even became more brilliant. His bottomless, dark and cold eyes made people feel as if they were falling into purgatory.
He admired everyone's awkward expressions for a moment before gracefully standing up with a curled lip. "I have been ordered to thoroughly investigate last night's arms case. And today in the court, you all have been pressing me to reveal the details of last night's case. Therefore, I have reason to suspect that one of you is involved in the case..."
Everyone was immediately defeated when they heard this. They never thought that Ning Ze would come up with such an excuse to deal with them.
The Left Prime Minister and the others were not fish on the chopping board to be slaughtered at will. They immediately said, "Lord Ning, you only have suspicions, without any real evidence, yet you dare to kill so many court officials directly. Aren't you afraid that the emperor will find out and blame you?"
Ning Cuo played with the ring and said with a smile, "How could you think so, Lord Zuo Xiang? I just sent someone in to investigate. Slandering me is a serious crime~"
The Left Prime Minister was unconvinced. "Doctor Ning, are you just investigating?"
Ning Cuo smiled and said, "Of course I will investigate. Without investigation, how can I have evidence? Without evidence, I will not kill anyone!"
Upon hearing this, the Left Prime Minister frowned, wondering if Ning Ze could be so kind?
Then he heard the other party's gorgeous voice full of teasing and maliciousness said again, "Everyone, this case is serious. The East Factory accepts reports. Anyone who reports a person will be released and sent home immediately. I will also let bygones be bygones for what happened today."
These words made Zuo Xiang and others' faces change drastically, and the faces of the officials who had finally gathered together also changed color!
After saying this, the man smiled beautifully and cruelly, then put his hands behind his back, lifted his long legs and walked out.
Zuo Xiang and others were furious and wanted to catch up with them, but they were frightened back by the Dongchang guards who suddenly drew their swords around them.
Someone asked in horror, "What should we do now, Lord Zuo Xiang?"
If someone can be acquitted by reporting one person, then even if everyone present is innocent, they will eventually become guilty.
Because everyone is afraid that they will be reported, someone will definitely take the initiative.
It took a lot of effort to bring everyone together, but the traitor easily broke their alliance.
What's even more terrifying is that Ningcuo's trumped-up arms case would cost many people their lives today.
The Left Prime Minister had no other options this time. He angrily threw his official hat down and said, "What a vicious traitor! I will never stop fighting him!"
Outside the magnificent palace, the sun was still warm and bright, and a few birds flapped their wings and flew across the sky.
Xiao Lezi had been waiting at the door for a long time. At this moment, he saw a terrifying evil man surrounded by a crowd of people entering the palace.
He immediately ran up and said with a smile, "Master, the matter is settled!"
Ning Cuo stood with his hands behind his back, his steps still moving. His gorgeous dark red official robes looked gorgeous and dangerous in the sun. He raised his narrow, charming eyes and asked, "Have you found the person?"
Xiao Lezi hurriedly said, "I found it, just waiting for me to come over!"
Ning Cuo smiled brightly, "Then let's go!"
Cining Palace, Taihe Hall.
The Queen Mother had just received a report from the previous dynasty and heard that all officials were imprisoned in the Golden Palace today.
He immediately realized that his plan had failed, and he couldn't help but feel angry at the incompetence of many officials!
She said quietly, "It seems that it is impossible to suppress the arrogance of Governor Ning. Someone..."
A eunuch came forward, "Her Majesty the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother said coldly, "Go and invite Governor Ning!"
"yes!"
