Chapter 1231: You underestimated me
Everyone was startled and turned their heads away quickly.
But then Li Bushang and another Jinyiwei walked to the door, holding a student in their hands. It was Su Erjun who had been guarding here until dawn last night!
Xia Fuxiu's expression suddenly changed.
Because he saw that Su Erjun was holding a bottle in his hand, which was exactly what he had told him to throw away!
As soon as he saw them walking in with the students, Jian Ruocheng's brows immediately furrowed.
"Li Bushang, why are you arresting students?"
The students around them saw their fellow students being brought in with their hands handcuffed behind their backs, like prisoners, and they all said, "Yeah, what do you want to do?"
"Don't be unreasonable!"
Li Bushang glanced at everyone coldly. His eyes were like those of a wolf, and at this moment, they held an indescribable bloodthirsty murderous aura that made people feel breathless at the sight of him. Everyone fell silent.
Li Bushang said, "Don't you want to know who assassinated last night?"
“…”
"I'll tell you who it is!"
After saying that, he reached out and snatched the bottle from Su Erjun's hand, then pushed him into the room. Jian Ruocheng couldn't help but frowned when he heard his words: "What did you say?"
Li Bushan walked in a few steps and put the bottle on the table: "Come and see!"
Jian Ruocheng and Zhu Feng looked at each other and walked over. They saw Li Bushan took a teacup and placed it underneath. Then he opened the cork of the bottle and poured the liquid into the cup. A stream of dark green juice poured out of the bottle.
"This is--"
When Jian Ruocheng saw it, his whole body trembled.
Zhu Chengxuan also saw it and immediately said, "This, this is the poison coated on the dart that assassinated this brother last night!"
Everyone was shocked!
Li Bushang said coldly, "This incident happened suddenly. The assassins certainly didn't have time to go out and buy poison, let alone throw the things outside. I guess the things used for the assassination must still be left in the academy. So just now, I went to check it out. The result let me see——"
He turned around and looked coldly at Su Erjun, who was pale, lowered his head and dared not speak.
"He was rummaging through the room of your Assistant Xia, and was about to throw something away when we found him and caught him."
“…”
"I want to ask Xia Fuxiu, how come there is poison from the assassin's weapon in your room?"
"I--"
As soon as Xia Fuxiu saw Su Erjun being captured by them, he was stunned. When he was asked, he was completely unable to answer and could only look at them in panic.
Li Bushang said coldly: "What a good way to kill someone with a borrowed knife."
“…”
"Do you think that by killing this student, you can prove that we committed murder and harm us?"
Having said that, he looked at Jian Ruocheng coldly: "Master, is this the rule of your academy? Is this the style of study in your academy?"
“…”
Jian Ruocheng's face turned pale and he couldn't utter a word.
At this time, Zhu Feng's voice sounded coldly——
"Catch them all!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Jinyiwei outside the door rushed in and dragged Xia Fuxiu and Su Erjun out. Jian Ruocheng reached out to stop them, but he could do nothing.
At this point, even if he was not completely defeated, he had no place to stand.
I could only watch them being taken away.
The students outside were furious before, but now that the truth was revealed, they were all dumbfounded. Seeing Xia Fuxiu and Su Erjun being taken away, they looked at each other, as if they were still unable to react.
"What's going on?"
"Why did Xia Fuxiu do this?"
"Why does he have to deal with these people?"
At this time, Zhu Feng ordered again: "Come here."
A Jinyiwei behind him immediately stepped forward and bowed to him, saying, "Master, what are your orders?"
He was still concerned about Zhu Feng's identity as a secret tour guide, so he was reserved in his words. But at this moment, Zhu Feng said directly: "Pass on my oral order, immediately send troops to surround Zhujian Academy!"
“……!”
Upon hearing this, the students around were all stunned.
"What?!"
"He said he was—"
The Jinyiwei was also stunned for a moment, then immediately leaned forward and said, "Your humble servant obeys your order!"
After saying that, he turned and walked out.
Although Zhu Feng was traveling incognito and only had a few people in plain clothes with him, there were quite a few people following and protecting him secretly. After the Jinyiwei went out, it wasn't long before they heard dense footsteps coming from outside the academy. Many students looked outside and their faces turned pale with fright.
Outside the entire academy, at least hundreds of officers and soldiers came and completely surrounded the Bamboo Academy!
This time, it was the students' turn to panic.
They all asked, "What's going on? Is he really the Emperor?"
"Is he going to arrest us?"
"We, we didn't break the law!"
Seeing the students like frightened birds, each one of them in a state of panic, Jian Ruocheng's eyes darkened and he looked at Zhu Feng: "Your Majesty, what are you going to do?!"
This time, Nan Yan was also shocked.
Originally, I thought that since I had cleared the King of Wei's grievances and captured several criminals, the matter should be resolved and I could go back. However, I didn't expect that Zhu Feng would suddenly turn against me and surround the entire academy.
Could it be that he really wanted to take action against Jian Ruocheng and Zhujian Academy?
She took a step forward and whispered, "Your Majesty—"
Zhu Feng raised his hand to stop her from speaking.
Then, he slowly turned his head and looked at Jian Ruocheng. After a moment of silence, he said calmly, "Master, do you have any tea?"
“…”
Jian Ruocheng's heart trembled.
He wants tea again.
Just now he asked for tea because he was waiting for his people to capture Xia Fuxiu and the mastermind behind the scenes. Now he asked for tea again, and I don’t know what he wanted to do.
But now, he was completely at a disadvantage and naturally had no way to refuse.
Jian Ruocheng took a deep breath and said, "Please."
Just as they slowly walked out of the room and headed towards the Heguang Room again, all the officers and soldiers had completely surrounded the Zhujian Academy outside its wall, with a guard post every three steps and a sentry every five steps, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
Not far from the academy, there is a small building.
The bamboo curtain hung low, blocking the dazzling sunlight outside. A figure slowly walked to the bedside and sat down. The dense shadows of the bamboo curtain were cast on his face, making his already dark eyes even more profound and unfathomable.
He looked at everything in Zhujian Academy, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"It seems that I really can't underestimate you."
“…”
"It's just that you underestimated me."
