Chapter 328 What did you hear?
The same goes for Zhao Xiang and his table.
The ministers were not frightened by the soldiers, but by the emperor.
The emperor's expression is terrible.
It just so happened that the emperor encountered such a thing in person. What should he do?
The scene everyone feared the most finally arrived. The Emperor's expression was cold and indifferent as he swept his gaze over everyone's faces one by one, finally landing on Zhao Xiang: "Zhao Qing, do you know what's going on?"
Zhao Xiang was silent for a moment, then sighed softly and said, "Even if that's what Your Majesty saw, please forgive me. I'm not too clear about it, so I dare not speak without thinking."
The emperor sneered: "Ha!"
No one knows whether he believed what Zhao Xiang said or not.
The other man was about to speak when he saw the leading soldier who had ordered the arrest of the guests from the previous table return with two personal guards. He happened to be standing near the table where the emperor, Zhao Xiang and the others were sitting. He slowly scanned the entire hall with a stern warning look and shouted coldly, "Everyone, wake up! There are some things you can't say. Be careful not to lose your tongue if you talk nonsense! What did you hear just now?"
No one said anything.
The leading sergeant was very dissatisfied and shouted even louder: "Tell me! What did you hear just now?"
"No, nothing."
"I didn't hear anything!"
"Yeah, I, we didn't hear anything."
“I didn’t hear it, I didn’t hear it.”
Many people were startled and answered hurriedly.
The leading sergeant sneered, his gaze fixed on the table of the Emperor, Zhao Xiang, and the others, none of whom had spoken. "What about you? Hmm? What did you hear just now?"
The emperor is the supreme ruler, and has always been majestic and high above everyone else. All the court officials are respectful and trembling with fear in his presence. Once he loses his temper, no one is not afraid.
When had anyone dared to be so presumptuous in front of him?
Even though he knew that the other party did this because he didn't know his identity, the emperor's anger still rose!
Seeing that he was about to explode with a frown on his face, Zhao Xiang was startled and nodded hurriedly, saying in a gentle tone: "We, we didn't hear anything either."
The emperor glanced at the man coldly and didn't intend to say anything.
The leading sergeant glared at the emperor fiercely, pointed at him and shouted, "What about you? What did you hear?"
This time, not to mention Zhao Xiang, all the officials, eunuchs and guards who followed him became anxious, thinking that this man was really ignorant and didn't leave. Was he looking for death?
"We heard nothing, nothing at all!"
"Sir, please go about your business. We won't say anything nonsense."
"Yes, yes, go ahead! We are not ignorant and will definitely not do anything reckless!"
"Yes, yes, we are all law-abiding citizens who know what we should and shouldn't do."
“.”
The leading sergeant sneered, rolled his eyes and looked at everyone with disdain. His arrogant and contemptuous look really made everyone want to beat him up.
If this bastard knew the identities of everyone here, he would be scared to death!
Unfortunately, I can’t reveal my identity at this moment.
The leading soldier was somewhat satisfied: I knew these common people were as cowardly as mice. What rubbish they are, they lose all their courage after being frightened by a few words.
He was also a little dissatisfied: This guy was obviously the leader, with a stern look in his eyes and no words. What did he mean? What? Was he not convinced? Oh, he loved to teach those who were not convinced a lesson until they were convinced!
The leading soldier continued to stare at the emperor, his voice pressing, and he spoke bluntly, "Hey, what about you? How dare you refuse to answer my questions? What's the matter? Are you dissatisfied? If you're dissatisfied, just say it. Come with me, and I guarantee you'll be completely convinced!"
"How outrageous!" The emperor was furious.
The leading sergeant was furious, his eyes wide open in disbelief: How could someone dare to scold him in front of him? How could someone dare to yell at him so rudely?
"You've rebelled!" The leading soldier was furious, pointing at the emperor and cursing, "I can tell you're not a good person. You must be secretly slandering the Second Prince and spreading rumors about him! People like you won't cry until they see the coffin! I must teach you a lesson and let you know what to say and what not to say! Go get someone to take everyone at this table away!"
All the officials were stunned.
Is this too outrageous?
Censor Lin was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up: "How dare you! You——"
"Very well," the Emperor interrupted Censor Lin with a sneer, saying coldly, "Where are you taking us? How are you going to teach us how to behave? I'll go with you!"
"My Lord, this is unacceptable, unacceptable!" Censor Lin frantically knelt down, "Absolutely not, my Lord!"
Seeing this, everyone knelt down and said, "Master, please calm down! You can't do this!"
The Emperor must have been so angry that he had lost his mind, to actually say such a thing. If he really concealed his identity and was taken away by such a despicable thing, what would happen?
Even if this happened under the premise of concealing their identities, telling it to others would greatly damage the dignity and prestige of the emperor! When the emperor thought about it afterwards, he would probably get angrier and angrier. This bastard is definitely in trouble, and none of them will get any good results either.
Is the Emperor a person who gets bullied? No!
"Master, please don't act on impulse. This is not worthy of your actions. If you pay attention to such foolish people, you will be lowering your status. Who are they?"
"Yes, Master, please think twice!"
The leading sergeant was stunned.
His confidants ran downstairs and called people over, but they were all stunned.
After all, the leading soldier was an acquaintance in the capital, so he certainly knew that if he threw a brick into a crowd in the capital, there was at least a 50% chance that it would hit someone from a royal family or an official family. But, were these people even more powerful?
He felt a sense of unease and panic for no apparent reason.
But soon, he became full of confidence again.
What is there to be afraid of? He's working for the Second Prince! No matter how powerful and influential the officials in the capital are, who can be more powerful than the Second Prince?
These people are probably just bluffing!
Even if they were people belonging to the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, ah, it was just like that! If they had offended me, then what was the big deal?
"What a grand display!" The leading sergeant sneered and waved his hand with unparalleled authority: "Take them all away! I'm going to teach these pretentious, ignorant creatures a lesson!"
Who are you trying to scare by making such a display?
"How dare you!" Zhao Xiang's face darkened upon seeing this, and he said coldly, "Take your people and get out of here!"
