Chapter 162 The Mastermind



"Marshal, Captain Rousseau of the planet Ruhr has sent us top-secret intelligence concerning Admiral Yin Yi. I hope the Marshal and the elders of the Senate will review this information together."

Bai Zhuo and Karl were in a meeting when they heard the adjutant's report coming from outside.

The two looked at each other in confusion. Top-secret information from the planet Ruhl?

It also concerns Yin Yi.

Also check with the elders of the House of Representatives.

What exactly is so serious?

After the adjutant came in, he placed the top-secret documents sent by Rousseau on the table for the two marshals to review.

Bai Zhuo and Karl took a look at it and their faces became solemn. This document was actually encrypted using a special method and required the fingerprints of all the high-ranking officials of the empire to open it.

The Mingxi Empire was once like the Mifa Empire, where imperial power was supreme.

However, there was an emperor in history who was so incompetent, cruel and ruthless that the Mingxi Empire was almost destroyed under his rule.

Finally, the nobles who could not bear the tyranny united and led their army to attack the palace, killed the emperor, and then put another branch of the royal family with good character on the throne.

After the new emperor came to power, he thought of the atrocities committed by the previous emperor and the fact that the military leaders were all sons of aristocrats, which led to the success of the uprising.

In order to better develop the Mingxi Empire and limit the nobles' control over the military, the first policy the new emperor issued after taking office was to establish a House of Parliament.

Three respected elders were selected from the nobles who had no children serving in the military to serve as elders of the House of Parliament. Together with the emperor of the royal family, the head of the military and political department, and the two marshals of the military, they became the highest decision-makers of the Mingxi Empire and handled major events of the empire.

At the same time, in order to prevent people from abusing their power for personal gain, the emperor also issued a policy.

If the planet leaders or garrisons within the empire have any major events involving the safety of the empire that need to be reported, they will use special methods to encrypt the information and submit it to the Imperial Star.

Then all senior executives will open it together and discuss how to deal with it.

However, since this policy was announced, no one has ever used it. They didn’t expect to see it today.

The situation was urgent, and the two men ignored their personal grudges. They quickly picked up the documents and hurriedly got on the hovercraft to rush to the Parliament House.

At the same time, he did not forget to send someone to urgently notify the emperor.

Half an hour later, seven high-ranking officials of the Mingxi Empire gathered in the meeting room of the House of Parliament, looking at the documents on the table with complicated expressions.

Elder Zhu Hong looked at the people who had gathered together again and sighed in his heart.

In the past, there might not be one thing worth the seven of them dealing with together in a year, but this year so many things happened one after another. The seven of them got together more times this year than in all the previous years combined.

No one knows what happened on the planet Rull this time, and they actually used top secret information.

After the seven people entered their fingerprints one by one, the file opened automatically, and the first thing that appeared in front of them was a video recorder.

Before anyone could turn on the video recorder, the file was automatically projected.

"Leaders, I'm Rousseau, the garrison commander on the planet Rull. I've taken the liberty of using an encrypted file to report an incident involving two females, one of whom nearly lost her life."

Rousseau's image narrated what happened on the planet Rull and then disappeared.

The conference room fell into silence for a long time. Everyone was so shocked by what he reported that they stood there in a daze, unable to recover for a long time.

After a long while, Bai Zhuo finally came back to his senses: "Everyone, what do you think about this matter?"

The three elders of the parliament looked at each other. Elder Zhu Hong opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

Bai Zhuo looked at the emperor again: "Your Majesty, what do you think about this matter?"

This matter involves not only females, but also members of the royal family.

"I think the truth of this matter still needs to be verified. We cannot jump to conclusions based on just a video and the one-sided statement of a garrison leader."

The emperor pondered for a moment and then spoke.

Except for Karl who nodded in agreement, the expressions of the others were very subtle.

Rousseau sent not only a video and his report, but also the appearance of those secret servants and the poison they used to commit suicide.

"snort."

Bai Zhuo snorted coldly, "Your Majesty, didn't you see the images of those secret servants and the poison they used to commit suicide? All secret servants are recorded in the military. They can find out if they investigate. As for this poison, you should know it even if I don't tell you. It is the poison issued by the military to the secret servants. Only the secret servants of the military can use it. No one else can use it.

From this, it seems that what Rousseau said is almost certain. I don't understand, what do you mean by "needing to be verified"?

Bai Zhuo became increasingly disappointed with his good friend and brother-in-law, with whom he grew up.

As a father, he could understand that the emperor was partial to his sons, but this was the first time he had seen such partiality.

I was so blind at the time that I agreed to let my sister marry this man.

"No matter what, I think we should first arrest the mastermind behind this and interrogate her thoroughly to find out what her real purpose is."

The three elders of the House of Representatives nodded when they heard this.

This incident is really too bad. These people not only want to kill the generals of the empire, but also want to kill females. Females are precious, and the entire interstellar protection is not enough, but there are still people who want to kill females.

This matter absolutely cannot be let go like this.

"How do you catch me? How do you ask me?"

Carl suddenly questioned, "Are we going to capture a female like we do to those orc criminals, throw her in jail, and torture her?"

After hearing his words, the three elders finally realized that, indeed, they were just angry that someone wanted to murder a female, but forgot that the mastermind behind this was also a female.

This is a difficult situation.

There has never been such a precedent in the entire empire, no, in the entire galaxy.

"Indeed, if this was done by an orc or a half-orc, we would definitely capture them without hesitation. However, the mastermind behind this is a female. Even if she really did such a thing, she is a female. We cannot treat her the same way we treat ordinary criminals."

The emperor looked at the dark face of his childhood friend and brother-in-law, and even though he knew his words would make him very angry, he still chose to say it.

"What's more, the doctor has already checked some time ago and found that Meiya is already three months pregnant. Do we really want to punish a pregnant female?"
