Chapter 526 Pull Her Down from the Altar
At this time, Zhou Xiangrong, standing in the crowd, looked at Su Ying, who was being criticized by thousands of people, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Isn't the queen revered by everyone? Then she will pull her off the altar today!
"Your Majesty, would a female student in her teens destroy her own innocence to slander you? This matter is of great importance. Your Majesty should go back first and wait for us to find out what is going on. It will not be too late to speak later."
Su Ying curled the corners of her lips coldly. If she went back to the palace today, this bucket of dirty water would never be washed away.
She, Su Ying, doesn't care about her reputation, but that doesn't mean she can forgive those who schemed against her!
"Master Zhang, you are joking. It is not your turn to investigate this matter. Anyone who dares to slander me will not be allowed to leave. All parents who came here today will leave the academy. The rest of you will wait for me on the playground."
The ministers looked dissatisfied and unwilling to move. Su Ying's face darkened, "If they don't want to go, just knock them out and carry them over. I will naturally find a way to wake them up."
"yes."
Several ministers looked pale. The queen was really too arrogant!
They wanted to see if she could prove her innocence.
If there was no evidence to prove her innocence, they would never let her go so easily!
Everyone arrived at the playground as required, and they were all curious about what Su Ying was going to do.
Last night, Xiao Jin sent out orders to have the patrolling guards block all entrances and exits. No one could leave easily, and even a fly that tried to fly out would be swatted to death.
So Su Ying could be sure that no one who was in the academy last night left.
After arriving at the playground, Su Ying began to count the number of students and faculty members, except for the deceased Mr. Fang and the students who had been sent out of the academy before, no one should be left out.
The guards were counting the number of people with the roster. Su Ying stood in the center of the stage in the playground, scanning the faces of each person one by one.
She didn't believe that Mr. Fang was the only one with problems in the academy. Judging from the methods of the person behind him, he must be a very cautious person. Xiao Jin said that a cautious person would be thorough in every aspect of his work. Even if it was his spies, they would do things both openly and covertly, so that there would be no mistakes.
This is the best. She will find out the damn traitor today!
"My lady, the head count has been completed. Everyone who should be here is here."
Su Ying nodded slightly and asked someone to bring the things up.
"I have a pill that can make people tell the truth. If you have nothing to hide, just take the pill. Don't worry, the pill will not harm your body. The effect will disappear after half an hour. I suspect there are still evil people in this academy, and I will find them out today no matter what you say."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present began to talk.
The cabinet minister looked at the pill with some resistance and said, "Are you sure that this pill will not harm your body?"
Su Ying raised her eyebrow, "No."
"If, in case..."
"There won't be any accidents. Distribute them in order, ten by ten." Su Ying's voice left no room for argument.
Zhou Xiangrong's long eyebrows were twisted together as she looked at the imperial guards who were walking towards her with pills. She didn't believe that there was any medicine in the world that could make people tell the truth after taking it. But the cabinet ministers were present, and Su Ying couldn't poison them. However, she couldn't think of what tricks Su Ying was playing.
Zhou Xiangrong quietly moved back.
The first batch of pills were delivered to those gentlemen.
Some of those gentlemen had dealt with Su Ying before and felt that Su Ying was not that kind of person. After hesitating for a moment, they swallowed the pill.
Su Ying also asked someone to bring out writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone.
"Answer the questions above truthfully. Once you're done, go back to your own school building and wait."
The guard came in with a stack of papers, on which were written the questions that Su Ying had someone prepare last night.
The gentlemen picked up their pens and wrote down their answers carefully.
Su Ying slowly walked down from the stage, like an examiner inspecting the examination room, slowly patrolling around them.
Some people whose psychological quality is not so good will unconsciously tremble in their hands when holding the pen.
After finishing writing, the guard waited until the ink was dry, then collected them one by one and left with those people.
The rest of the people felt relieved when they saw that the gentlemen did not show any abnormalities after taking the pills.
The pills were delivered to another group of people.
With the lessons learned from the past, everyone took the pill obediently.
More than half an hour later, the pills were delivered to Zhou Xiangrong.
Zhou Xiangrong looked at the pill in front of her and took it and put it into her mouth without any hesitation. However, she did not swallow it. Instead, she held the pill under her tongue, thinking of finding a chance to spit it out.
But as soon as she moved, Su Ying came to her side, and she could only lower her head, pick up the pen and start answering the questions.
Su Ying's cheetah-like eyes swept across their faces one by one. She did not look at the questions they answered, but instead fixed her gaze on their faces.
Su Ying let them leave only after they had finished writing their answers.
After everyone had answered the questions and were taken back to the school building, Zhou Qing handed the questions and answers to Su Ying.
"My lady, can you see anything unusual in these questions?"
Su Ying just wanted to know what those people were doing three days ago and whether they encountered any unusual situations. She had already looked at the answers just now and did not find anything unusual.
Some students mentioned in their answers that the girls who were injured in Yueliang were not in good condition after returning to the academy, but this is not a useful clue.
Su Ying slowly shook her head, "No need to look at it, just leave it there."
"Don't watch?"
Zhou Qing was confused. What's the point of asking them to write if they weren't going to read it?
What Su Ying wanted to see was not what answers these people wrote down, but the time it took for the pill to completely melt in their mouths.
I also want to see if anyone would want to spit out the pill.
However, the other party hid it very well and did not reveal any flaws.
But it doesn't matter, she has plenty of ways.
On the other side, after Zhou Xiangrong was brought back to the school building, she vomited into the wooden barrel, trying to spit out the pill that had melted in her mouth completely, but the pill had already melted into her mouth, and no matter how she vomited, her mouth was still full of the taste of medicine.
Zhou Xiangrong looked unhappy. She didn’t know what Su Ying had given them to eat!
She turned around to get a glass of water, but found that her vision was gradually becoming blurry.
She was startled and quickly took out a silver needle from her body and stabbed it into her palm.
The pain in her hand made her sober up briefly. She took out an antidote pill from her body and swallowed it, hoping it would work.
After taking the detoxifying pill, Zhou Xiangrong felt that his consciousness became slightly clearer.
But just in case, she still held the silver needle tightly in her hand to keep herself awake.
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door.
After a moment, the door was pushed open and Su Ying walked in with an expressionless face.
