Chapter 351: Jiang Lang's Talent is Exhausted
Gang leader Ma narrowed his eyes. What other tricks did he have? Just as the emperor said, he had really run out of ideas. Now he was betting whether the emperor cared about the lives of these ministers. If the emperor did not care about the lives of these ministers, even if he was defeated today, he would accept his fate and no one would help him.
But these ministers will not be loyal to him in the future, so it will depend on how he, a commander without any troops, can continue to be the emperor.
It would be worth it even if he died.
"You really don't care about their lives?"
"Of course I care about their lives. It's because I care about their lives that I asked you if you have any other tricks. Don't torture them again and again. You may not feel sorry for them, but they are all my subjects. I do."
The emperor's righteous words deeply moved the ministers who were poisoned. Their emperor was such a good emperor who cared about them so much. If they did not die today, they would be loyal to the emperor in the future and would never be lazy again.
Su Yue glanced at the emperor. It seemed that he had finally come to his senses today. He even knew how to maintain a kind image in front of the ministers. It was not easy.
Only Murong Yi seemed not to recognize the emperor after hearing this. The emperor must have had his soul replaced. He could smell a strong smell of tea leaves when hearing these words. When would he care about the lives of his subjects again?
In his eyes, the lives of his subjects were like ants, and he could pluck them at will.
Murong Yi couldn't help but shiver. Such an emperor was really scary. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Chen Ying beside him. He saw that she was clenching her fists and her body was shaking slightly.
Chen Ying was indeed afraid. She knew that her father had failed and she knew exactly what the consequences would be for her.
I just felt so unwilling to accept it. My father made careful plans, but still lost in the end.
She hated Murong Li, Su Yue, the emperor, and even the people in the royal family so much in her heart. She would never let Murong Yi go. She would not drag him down, and would make him lose a layer of skin even if he didn't die.
He is the root of everything, he is the culprit. If he treated her well, she would not go back to her parents' home to complain, and her father would not find another way out.
Chen Ying was extremely angry.
The face of Ma Gang leader was distorted. How could this dog emperor say such shameless words? He didn't see that the emperor cared about his ministers. When he was about to ridicule the emperor, the emperor said, "I have to thank you very much. If it weren't for you, how could I have caught these traitors? Can you help me catch a few more?"
Consider it your meritorious service while serving your sentence. If I'm happy, I might not kill you. Look, which of my officials are still yours?"
Ministers...
They were all afraid that the leader of the Ma Gang would climb up and bite people, and they were all in fear. If they had not been poisoned and were in excruciating pain, they would have rushed to the emperor to show their loyalty.
Upon hearing this, Gang Leader Ma was furious. He not only failed to steal the chicken but also lost the rice. Now he still didn't understand why Murong Li let him go and let him use his tricks. It was not that Murong Li wanted to see what tricks he had, but he wanted to use him to help them get rid of the traitor.
Gang leader Ma looked back with great effort at the smiling Murong Li and his wife. He had lost. He stood there dejectedly, his mind blank.
The Niu family has been planning for so many years, but it was all ruined today.
"Hahaha……"
The leader of the Ma Gang laughed like a madman. Although he lost, many ministers of the Xifeng Kingdom and their families died with him.
If his poison is not decomposed within an hour, everyone will die.
It’s better for him to die. Now the dog emperor has only his father and son left. Let’s see what they will do?
Marquis Zhennan also stared blankly at the emperor and the mad leader of the Ma Gang. He fell to the ground with a deathly expression on his face.
They lost and he burst into tears.
"Your Majesty, we are late in coming to your rescue. Please punish us."
At this time, the commander of the personal guards led a large group of personal guards into the hall and knelt before the emperor to apologize.
The emperor saw his personal guards coming and he breathed a sigh of relief. However, he said sternly, "We'll deal with your crimes later. Now, arrest all the thieves in this hall."
"Yes, I obey your command."
The commander of the personal guards immediately came down with his personal guards and put the five masters who were lying on the ground unable to move, the fifteen masters who were already dead, the Marquis of Zhennan and his family, the soldiers he brought with him, the eight ministers who were in cahoots with him and their families, and the leader of the Ma Gang into the Sky Prison.
Of course, what awaits these people in the end will be the death penalty, and the culprit, Gang Leader Ma, will just have to wait to be torn into pieces by five horses.
After all the criminals in the hall were dragged away, the emperor said to Murong Li, "Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother's wife, their poison is now in your hands. Quickly cure them."
After the emperor finished speaking, he immediately said to a eunuch beside you, "Go to the Imperial Hospital and invite all the imperial doctors to come and see the ladies, ladies, young masters, and gentlemen. If there is nothing wrong, send them back. If there is something wrong, let the imperial doctors treat them."
"Yes, I obey your order."
The young eunuch only then realized that everything was really fine. After he came back to his senses and received the orders, he trotted out of the palace.
The emperor pointed to a guard and said, "Send someone to escort the fifth son and his wife back to Prince Yi's mansion. They are not allowed to leave unless necessary."
This put Prince Yi and his wife under house arrest.
Some people sympathized with Prince Yi, as he was implicated by the Marquis of Zhennan.
Guard: "Yes, I obey your order."
The guards immediately led people to Murong Yi's seat and said to Murong Yi, who had woken up but looked confused, "Prince Yi, Princess Yi, please come in."
Chen Ying also pretended to wake up, looking at the guards in front of her at a loss, stammering a few times, and had to follow the guards, not daring to look at the emperor above her.
The emperor was looking at her intently. She knew in her heart that the reason the emperor didn't throw her into the prison right away was because she didn't stand up and drag Murong Yi into it.
She originally wanted to fight to the death, but when she heard that the emperor had taken all the criminals away except her, she knew that she would not have to die for the time being and might be able to survive. That was why she did not jump out and bite Murong Yi.
Murong Li and Su Yue looked at the two people being sent away with complicated expressions, and then bowed to the emperor: "Your sons and daughters-in-law obey your orders."
After the two of them finished speaking, they walked to the middle of the banquet tables on both sides and scattered handfuls of medicinal powder.
No matter what poison Gang Leader Ma gave them, as long as it was not one of the ten most deadly poisons, the antidote powder made in Su Yue's space could cure it.
As soon as the antidote powder was sprinkled, the ministers and their families who had collapsed on the ground due to the poisoning found that the pain in their bodies disappeared and they could speak again.
The poison that Gang Leader Ma had given them before caused them to feel unbearable pain all over their bodies. They couldn't speak or even make a sound. They just had to endure it like that, and it was simply worse than death.
Once the poison was removed, almost everyone spat out a mouthful of black blood, and then all the symptoms on their bodies disappeared. Not only were they not weak, but they felt full of energy, just like before they were poisoned.
